Transformation of elongation factor 1Bdelta into heat shock response transcription factor by alternative splicing

ABSTRACT: Protein translation factors play crucial roles in a variety of stress responses. Here, we show that the eukaryotic elongation factor 1Bdelta (eEF1Bdelta) changes its structure and function from a translation factor into a heat shock response transcription factor by alternative splicing. While eEF1Bdelta is specifically localized in the cytoplasm, the long isoform of eEF1Bdelta (eEF1BdeltaL) is localized in the nucleus and induces heat shock element (HSE)-containing genes in cooperation with heat-shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1). Moreover, the N-terminal domain of eEF1BdeltaL binds with NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and induces stress response heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Specific inhibition of eEF1BdeltaL with siRNA completely inhibits Nrf2-dependent HO-1 induction. In addition, eEF1BdeltaL directly binds to HSE oligo DNA in vitro and associates with HSE containing the HO-1-enhancer region in vivo. Thus, the transcriptional role of eEF1BdeltaL could provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of stress responses. We performed microarray analysis to compare the gene expression induced by eEF1Bdelta1 or eEF1BdeltaL overexpression.

Project description:Background Regulation of transcription is essential for any organism and Rhizobium etli (a multi-replicon, nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacterium) is no exception. This bacterium is commonly found in the rhizosphere (free-living) or inside of root-nodules of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in a symbiotic relationship. Abiotic stresses, such as high soil temperatures and salinity, compromise the genetic stability of R. etli and therefore its symbiotic interaction with P. vulgaris. However, it is still unclear which genes are up- or down-regulated to cope with these stress conditions. The aim of this study was to identify the genes and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are differentially expressed under heat and saline shock, as well as the promoter regions of the up-regulated loci. Results Analysing the heat and saline shock responses of R. etli CE3 through RNA-Seq, we identified 756 and 392 differentially expressed genes, respectively, and 106 were up-regulated under both conditions. Notably, the set of genes over-expressed under either condition was preferentially encoded on plasmids, although this observation was more significant for the heat shock response. In contrast, during either saline shock or heat shock, the down-regulated genes were principally chromosomally encoded. Our functional analysis shows that genes encoding chaperone proteins were up-regulated during the heat shock response, whereas genes involved in the metabolism of compatible solutes were up-regulated following saline shock. Furthermore, we identified thirteen and nine ncRNAs that were differentially expressed under heat and saline shock, respectively, as well as eleven ncRNAs that had not been previously identified. Finally, using an in silico analysis, we studied the promoter motifs in all of the non-coding regions associated with the genes and ncRNAs up-regulated under both conditions. Conclusions Our data suggest that the replicon contribution is different for different stress responses and that the heat shock response is more complex than the saline shock response. In general, this work exemplifies how strategies that not only consider differentially regulated genes but also regulatory elements of the stress response provide a more comprehensive view of bacterial gene regulation. mRNA of nine independent cultures of wild type strain Rhizobium etli CE3 were sequenced using Illumina GAIIx. Our parameters were: all cultures were taken from exponential phase, at 30M-BM-0C for 30min in control condition; 42M-BM-0C for 30min for the culture subject to heat -shock, and 30min at 30M-BM-0C in supplementary PY medium with 80mM NaCl for the saline shock condition.

Project description:Proctor2005 - Actions of chaperones and their role in ageing This model is described in the article: Modelling the actions of chaperones and their role in ageing. Proctor CJ, Soti C, Boys RJ, Gillespie CS, Shanley DP, Wilkinson DJ, Kirkwood TB. Mech. Ageing Dev. 2005 Jan; 126(1): 119-131 Abstract: Many molecular chaperones are also known as heat shock proteins because they are synthesised in increased amounts after brief exposure of cells to elevated temperatures. They have many cellular functions and are involved in the folding of nascent proteins, the re-folding of denatured proteins, the prevention of protein aggregation, and assisting the targeting of proteins for degradation by the proteasome and lysosomes. They also have a role in apoptosis and are involved in modulating signals for immune and inflammatory responses. Stress-induced transcription of heat shock proteins requires the activation of heat shock factor (HSF). Under normal conditions, HSF is bound to heat shock proteins resulting in feedback repression. During stress, cellular proteins undergo denaturation and sequester heat shock proteins bound to HSF, which is then able to become transcriptionally active. The induction of heat shock proteins is impaired with age and there is also a decline in chaperone function. Aberrant/damaged proteins accumulate with age and are implicated in several important age-related conditions (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cataract). Therefore, the balance between damaged proteins and available free chaperones may be greatly disturbed during ageing. We have developed a mathematical model to describe the heat shock system. The aim of the model is two-fold: to explore the heat shock system and its implications in ageing; and to demonstrate how to build a model of a biological system using our simulation system (biology of ageing e-science integration and simulation (BASIS)).
