Stress-Independent Activation of XBP1s and/or ATF6 Reveals Three Functionally Distinct ER Proteostasis Environments [HEK293DAX]

ABSTRACT: The unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis through the activation of transcription factors such as XBP1s and ATF6. The functional consequences of these transcription factors for ER proteostasis remain poorly defined. Here, we describe methodology that enables orthogonal, small molecule-mediated activation of the UPR-associated transcription factors XBP1s and/or ATF6 in the same cell independent of stress. We employ transcriptomics and quantitative proteomics to evaluate ER proteostasis network remodeling owing to the XBP1s and/or ATF6 transcriptional programs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the three ER proteostasis environments accessible by activating XBP1s and/or ATF6 differentially influence the folding, trafficking, and degradation of destabilized ER client proteins without globally affecting the endogenous proteome. Our data reveal how the ER proteostasis network is remodeled by the XBP1s and/or ATF6 transcriptional programs at the molecular level and demonstrate the potential for selectively restoring aberrant ER proteostasis of pathologic, destabilized proteins through arm-selective UPR-activation. The unfolded protein response adapts endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis via stress-responsive transcription factors including XBP1s and ATF6. Here, R. Luke Wiseman and colleagues implement technology for the orthogonal, ligand-dependent activation of XBP1s and/or ATF6 in a single cell. They characterize how XBP1s and/or ATF6 activation impacts ER proteostasis pathway composition and function. Adapted ER environments influence the proteostasis of destabilized protein variants without affecting the endogenous proteome. The work informs the development of proteostasis environment-adapting therapeutics for protein misfolding-related diseases. In order to activate both XBP1s and ATF6 in the same cell, we incorporated DHFR.ATF6 and tet-inducible XBP1s into a HEK293T-REx cell line stably expressing the tet-repressor. Selection of a single colony resulted in the HEK293DAX cell line in which XBP1s is induced by doxycycline and DHFR.ATF6 is activated by trimethoprim (TMP; TMP-dependent DHFR.ATF6 activation in HEK293DAX cells will henceforth be referred to as ATF6 activation for simplicity). HEK293DAX cells were treated for 12 h with vehicle, 1 ?g/mL dox, 10 ?M TMP, or both in biological triplicate. Cells were harvested and RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). Genomic DNA was removed by on-column digestion using the RNase-free DNase Set (Qiagen). Data from HEK293DYG cells showed no significant overlap in the ligand-treated transcriptomes obtained from the control HEK293DYG cells.

Project description:Buffering of deleterious mutations by molecular chaperones and degradation of aberrant proteins by quality control systems are both major factors that can impact the mutational landscape available to a client protein. The impacts of the proteostasis network on protein evolution are not limited to just endogenous clients, but can also shape the mutational landscapes accessible to rapidly evolving viral proteins. Here, we test the hypothesis that the composition of the host cell’s endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis network shapes the evolution of RNA viruses by focusing on human immunodeficiency virus-1 envelope (Env), a membrane glycoprotein that folds and matures in the host cell’s secretory pathway. We apply chemical genetic methods to activate the IRE1-XBP1s and/or the ATF6 transcriptional arms of the unfolded protein response in a stress-independent manner. We then quantitatively assess the impact of the resulting altered host cell ER proteostasis environments on the relative enrichment of all Env single amino acid substitutions using deep mutational scanning. We find that upregulation of host ER proteostasis factors globally reduces the mutational tolerance of HIV-1 Env, particularly upon induction of the IRE1-XBP1s transcriptional arm of the UPR. The effects of ATF6 activation are less global, but still significant at particular Env sites. The impact of the XBP1s-induced ER proteostasis environment is disparate for diverse structural elements of Env. Conserved, functionally important regions generally exhibit the largest decreases in mutational tolerance upon XBP1s activation. In contrast, specific regions of Env, including regions targeted by broadly neutralizing antibodies, display greatly enhanced mutational tolerance when XBP1s is activated. Altogether, these data reveal a new set of host factors that specifically shape the mutational space accessible to HIV Env and, more generally, provide compelling evidence that UPR-regulated proteostasis mechanisms play critical roles in membrane protein evolution.
