Project description:Proctor2007 - Age related decline of proteolysis, ubiquitin-proteome system
This
is a stochastic model of the ubiquitin-proteasome system for a
generic pool of native proteins (NatP), which have a half-life of
about 10 hours under normal conditions. It is assumed that these
proteins are only degraded after they have lost their native
structure due to a damage event. This is represented in the model
by the misfolding reaction which depends on the level of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) in the cell. Misfolded proteins (MisP) are
first bound by an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Ubiquitin (Ub) is
activated by E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme) and then passed to
E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme). The E2 enzyme then passes the
ubiquitin molecule to the E3/MisP complex with the net effect
that the misfolded protein is monoubiquitinated and both E2 and
E3 are released. Further ubiquitin molecules are added in a
step-wise manner. When the chain of ubiquitin molecules is of
length 4 or more, the polyubiquitinated misfolded protein may
bind to the proteasome. The model also includes de-ubiquitinating
enzymes (DUB) which cleave ubiquitin molecules from the chain in
a step-wise manner. They work on chains attached to misfolded
proteins both unbound and bound to the proteasomes. Misfolded
proteins bound to the proteasome may be degraded releasing
ubiquitin. Misfolded proteins including ubiquitinated proteins
may also aggregate. Aggregates (AggP) may be sequestered
(Seq_AggP) which takes them out of harm's way or they may bind to
the proteasome (AggP_Proteasome). Proteasomes bound by aggregates
are no longer available for protein degradation.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The ubiquitin-proteasome system is responsible
for homeostatic degradation of intact protein substrates as
well as the elimination of damaged or misfolded proteins that
might otherwise aggregate. During ageing there is a decline in
proteasome activity and an increase in aggregated proteins.
Many neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the
presence of distinctive ubiquitin-positive inclusion bodies in
affected regions of the brain. These inclusions consist of
insoluble, unfolded, ubiquitinated polypeptides that fail to be
targeted and degraded by the proteasome. We are using a systems
biology approach to try and determine the primary event in the
decline in proteolytic capacity with age and whether there is
in fact a vicious cycle of inhibition, with accumulating
aggregates further inhibiting proteolysis, prompting
accumulation of aggregates and so on. A stochastic model of the
ubiquitin-proteasome system has been developed using the
Systems Biology Mark-up Language (SBML). Simulations are
carried out on the BASIS (Biology of Ageing e-Science
Integration and Simulation) system and the model output is
compared to experimental data wherein levels of ubiquitin and
ubiquitinated substrates are monitored in cultured cells under
various conditions. The model can be used to predict the
effects of different experimental procedures such as inhibition
of the proteasome or shutting down the enzyme cascade
responsible for ubiquitin conjugation. RESULTS: The model
output shows good agreement with experimental data under a
number of different conditions. However, our model predicts
that monomeric ubiquitin pools are always depleted under
conditions of proteasome inhibition, whereas experimental data
show that monomeric pools were depleted in IMR-90 cells but not
in ts20 cells, suggesting that cell lines vary in their ability
to replenish ubiquitin pools and there is the need to
incorporate ubiquitin turnover into the model. Sensitivity
analysis of the model revealed which parameters have an
important effect on protein turnover and aggregation kinetics.
CONCLUSION: We have developed a model of the
ubiquitin-proteasome system using an iterative approach of
model building and validation against experimental data. Using
SBML to encode the model ensures that it can be easily modified
and extended as more data become available. Important aspects
to be included in subsequent models are details of ubiquitin
turnover, models of autophagy, the inclusion of a pool of
short-lived proteins and further details of the aggregation
process.

Project description:Here, we use a novel technique for locating regions of N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) throughout the transcriptome and present a profile of m6A sites in the mouse brain. Our use of methylated RNA immunoprecipitation combined with RNA-seq (MeRIP-Seq) identifies thousands of RNAs which contain m6A sites. In addition, we find that regions of m6A formation are particularly enriched near stop codons, which might provide clues into the potential funciton of this highly prevalent RNA modificaiton.

Project description:SIRT3 is a member of the Sir2 family of NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases that promotes longevity in many organisms. The processed, short form of SIRT3 is a well-established mitochondrial protein whose deacetylase activity regulates various metabolic processes. However, the presence of full-length (FL) SIRT3 in the nucleus and its functional importance remains controversial. Our previous studies demonstrated that nuclear FL-SIRT3 functions as a histone deacetylase and is transcriptionally repressive when artificially recruited to a reporter gene. Here, we report that nuclear FL-SIRT3 is subjected to rapid degradation upon cellular stress, including oxidative stress and UV-irradiation, whereas the mitochondrial, processed form is unaffected. FL-SIRT3 degradation is mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, at least partially through the E3 activity of SKP2. Finally, we show by chromatin immunoprecipitation that some target genes of nuclear SIRT3 are derepressed upon the degradation of SIRT3 caused by stress stimuli. Thus, SIRT3 exhibits a previously unappreciated role in the nucleus modulating the expression of some stress-related and nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes.

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins mediate heritable but reversible silencing of developmental regulator genes by modifying their chromatin configuration. Accumulating evidence documents a role for PcG proteins in regulating higher order chromatin structures likely by their clustering, however, underlying mechanisms and its impact on transcriptional regulation remain obscure. In this study, we found that subnuclear clustering of PRC1 at canonical PcG target genes depended on head-to-tail polymerization property of SAM domain of Phc2 and likely Phc1. We show that Phc2-SAM polymerization limits the dynamic nature of PRC1, thereby promotes stable association of PRC1 with PcG target genes and contributes to their robust silencing. Our findings suggest a novel model by which SAM polymerization of Phc2 modulates the structural organization of PcG complexes to enable robust yet reversible PcG-mediated repression during development.

Project description:Complex functional coupling exists between transcriptional elongation and pre-mRNA alternative splicing. Pausing sites and changes in the rate of transcription by RNAPII may therefore have a fundamental impact in the regulation of alternative splicing. Here, we show that the elongation and splicing-related factor TCERG1 regulates alternative splicing of the apoptosis gene Bcl-x in a promoter-dependent manner. TCERG1 promotes the splicing of the short isoform of Bcl-x (Bcl-xs) through the SB1 regulatory element located in the first half of exon 2. Consistent with these results, we show evidence for in vitro and in vivo interaction of TCERG1 with the Bcl-x pre-mRNA. Transcription profile analysis reveals that the RNA sequences required for the effect of TCERG1 on Bcl-x alternative splicing coincide with a putative polymerase pause site. Furthermore, TCERG1 modifies the impact of a slow polymerase on Bcl-x alternative splicing. In support of a role for an elongation mechanism in the transcriptional control of Bcl-x alternative splicing, we found that TCERG1 modifies the amount of pre-mRNAs generated at distal regions of the endogenous Bcl-x. Most importantly, TCERG1 affects the rate of RNAPII transcription of endogenous human Bcl-x. We propose that TCERG1 modulates the elongation rate of RNAPII to relieve pausing, thereby activating the pro-apoptotic Bcl-xS 5’ splice site. ChIP-Seq

Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are bulky DNA lesions that interfere with DNA metabolism and therefore threaten genomic integrity. Recent studies implicate the metalloprotease SPRTN in S-phase removal of DPCs, but how SPRTN activity is coupled to DNA replication is unknown. Using Xenopus egg extracts that recapitulate replication-coupled DPC proteolysis, we show that DPC degradation not only depends on SPRTN but also the proteasome, which act as independent DPC proteases. Proteasome recruitment requires DPC polyubiquitylation, which is triggered by single-stranded DNA, a byproduct of DNA replication. In contrast, SPRTN-mediated DPC degradation is independent of DPC polyubiquitylation but requires polymerase extension of a nascent strand to the lesion. Thus, SPRTN and proteasome activities are coupled to DNA replication by distinct mechanisms that together promote replication across immovable protein barriers.
