Enhancing nuclear receptor-induced transcription requires nuclear motor and LSD1-dependent gene networking in interchromatin granules.

ABSTRACT: Although the role of liganded nuclear receptors in mediating coactivator/corepressor exchange is well-established, little is known about the potential regulation of chromosomal organization in the 3-dimensional space of the nucleus in achieving integrated transcriptional responses to diverse signaling events. Here, we report that ligand induces rapid interchromosomal interactions among specific subsets of estrogen receptor alpha-bound transcription units, with a dramatic reorganization of nuclear territories, which depends on the actions of nuclear actin/myosin-I machinery and dynein light chain 1. The histone lysine demethylase, LSD1, is required for these ligand-induced interactive loci to associate with distinct interchromatin granules, long thought to serve as "storage" sites for the splicing machinery, some critical transcription elongation factors, and various chromatin remodeling complexes. We demonstrate that this 2-step nuclear rearrangement is essential for achieving enhanced, coordinated transcription of nuclear receptor target genes.

LSD1-ERRα complex requires NRF1 to positively regulate transcription and cell invasion.

Project description:Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) exerts dual effects on histone H3, promoting transcriptional repression via Lys4 (H3K4) demethylation or transcriptional activation through Lys9 (H3K9) demethylation. These activities are often exerted at transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and depend on the type of enhancer-bound transcription factor (TFs) with which LSD1 interacts. In particular, the Estrogen-Receptor Related α (ERRα) TF interacts with LSD1 and switches its activities toward H3K9 demethylation, resulting in transcriptional activation of a set of common target genes. However, how are the LSD1-TF and, in particular LSD1-ERRα, complexes determined to act at TSSs is not understood. Here we show that promoter-bound nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), but not ERRα, is essential to LSD1 recruitment at the TSSs of positive LSD1-ERRα targets. In contrast to ERRα, NRF1 does not impact on the nature of LSD1 enzymatic activity. We propose a three factor model, in which the LSD1 histone modifier requires a TSS tethering factor (NRF1) as well as an activity inducer (ERRα) to transcriptionally activate common targets. The relevance of this common network is illustrated by functional data, showing that all three factors are required for cell invasion in an MMP1 (Matrix MetalloProtease 1)-dependent manner, the expression of which is regulated by NRF1/LSD1/ERRα-mediated H3K9me2 demethylation.

Deacetylase-independent function of HDAC3 in transcription and metabolism requires nuclear receptor corepressor.

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are believed to regulate gene transcription by catalyzing deacetylation reactions. HDAC3 depletion in mouse liver upregulates lipogenic genes and results in severe hepatosteatosis. Here we show that pharmacologic HDAC inhibition in primary hepatocytes causes histone hyperacetylation but does not upregulate expression of HDAC3 target genes. Meanwhile, deacetylase-dead HDAC3 mutants can rescue hepatosteatosis and repress lipogenic genes expression in HDAC3-depleted mouse liver, demonstrating that histone acetylation is insufficient to activate gene transcription. Mutations abolishing interactions with the nuclear receptor corepressor (NCOR or SMRT) render HDAC3 nonfunctional in vivo. Additionally, liver-specific knockout of NCOR, but not SMRT, causes metabolic and transcriptomal alterations resembling those of mice without hepatic HDAC3, demonstrating that interaction with NCOR is essential for deacetylase-independent function of HDAC3. These findings highlight nonenzymatic roles of a major HDAC in transcriptional regulation in vivo and warrant reconsideration of the mechanism of action of HDAC inhibitors.

Design principles of nuclear receptor signaling: how complex networking improves signal transduction.

Project description:The topology of nuclear receptor (NR) signaling is captured in a systems biological graphical notation. This enables us to identify a number of 'design' aspects of the topology of these networks that might appear unnecessarily complex or even functionally paradoxical. In realistic kinetic models of increasing complexity, calculations show how these features correspond to potentially important design principles, e.g.: (i) cytosolic 'nuclear' receptor may shuttle signal molecules to the nucleus, (ii) the active export of NRs may ensure that there is sufficient receptor protein to capture ligand at the cytoplasmic membrane, (iii) a three conveyor belts design dissipating GTP-free energy, greatly aids response, (iv) the active export of importins may prevent sequestration of NRs by importins in the nucleus and (v) the unspecific nature of the nuclear pore may ensure signal-flux robustness. In addition, the models developed are suitable for implementation in specific cases of NR-mediated signaling, to predict individual receptor functions and differential sensitivity toward physiological and pharmacological ligands.

Glucocorticoid-dependent transcription in skin requires epidermal expression of the glucocorticoid receptor and is modulated by the mineralocorticoid receptor.

Project description:Glucocorticoid (GC) actions are mediated through two closely related ligand-dependent transcription factors, the GC receptor (GR) and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Given the wide and effective use of GCs to combat skin inflammatory diseases, it is important to understand the relative contribution of these receptors to the transcriptional response to topical GCs. We evaluated the gene expression profiles in the skin of mice with epidermal-specific loss of GR (GREKO), MR (MREKO), or both (double KO; DKO) in response to dexamethasone (Dex). The overall transcriptional response was abolished in GREKO and DKO skin suggesting dependence of the underlying dermis on the presence of epidermal GR. Indeed, the observed dermal GC resistance correlated with a constitutive decrease in GR activity and up-regulation of p38 activity in this skin compartment. Upon Dex treatment, more than 90% of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CO overlapped with MREKO. However, the number of DEGs was fourfold increased and the magnitude of response was higher in MREKO vs CO, affecting both gene induction and repression. Taken together our data reveal that, in the cutaneous transcriptional response to GCs mediated through endogenous receptors, epidermal GR is mandatory while epidermal MR acts as a chief modulator of gene expression.

Altering mammalian transcription networking with ADAADi: An inhibitor of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling.

Project description:Active DNA-dependent ATPase A Domain inhibitor (ADAADi) is the only known inhibitor of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling proteins that targets the ATPase domain of these proteins. The molecule is synthesized by aminoglycoside phosphotransferase enzyme in the presence of aminoglycosides. ADAADi interacts with ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling proteins through motif Ia present in the conserved helicase domain, and thus, can potentially inhibit all members of this family of proteins. We show that mammalian cells are sensitive to ADAADi but with variable responses in different cell lines. ADAADi can be generated from a wide variety of aminoglycosides; however, cells showed differential response to ADAADi generated from various aminoglycosides. Using HeLa and DU145 cells as model system we have explored the effect of ADAADi on cellular functions. We show that the transcriptional network of a cell type is altered when treated with sub-lethal concentration of ADAADi. Although ADAADi has no known effects on DNA chemical and structural integrity, expression of DNA-damage response genes was altered. The transcripts encoding for the pro-apoptotic proteins were found to be upregulated while the anti-apoptotic genes were found to be downregulated. This was accompanied by increased apoptosis leading us to hypothesize that the ADAADi treatment promotes apoptotic-type of cell death by upregulating the transcription of pro-apoptotic genes. ADAADi also inhibited migration of cells as well as their colony forming ability leading us to conclude that the compound has effective anti-tumor properties.

Fine motor skills and motor control networking in developmental age.

Project description:ObjectivesWe investigated the relationships between fine motor skills, fitness, anthropometrics, gender and perceived motor performance in school beginners. The aim of our study was to delineate whether and to what extent fine motor control would show meaningful synchrony with other motor variables in the age of onset of handwriting in school.MethodsA sample of N = 239 of 6-to-8-year-old children were tested with an array of tasks measuring fine motor (i.e., dexterity and speed) and grapho-motor performance (tracing on a tablet screen), anthropometric indexes, and fitness (shuttle run) measures. A subset of 95 children was also tested for perceived motor competence.ResultsIn spite of an overall poor anthropometric condition, our participants were relatively fit. As expected, older children performed better in both, fine motor tasks and the shuttle test. The girls were better in fine motor skills, and an original speed-quality trade-off in the drawing was found. However, the magnitude of difference by grade was greater for boys' fine motor skills than those of girls'. A network analysis revealed three specific clusters, (1) perceived competencies, (2) fitness, and (3) fine motor skills.ConclusionsGiven the relative independence of these areas of physical performance, we suggest focusing on these three clusters as distinct areas of physical education. Fine motor skills deserve further consideration, especially at an early school age. We have demonstrated that network analysis and technology devices used to evaluate motor development are useful and meaningful tools.

Adhesion-dependent Skp2 transcription requires selenocysteine tRNA gene transcription-activating factor (STAF).

Project description:Cell adhesion is essential for cell cycle progression in most normal cells. Loss of adhesion dependence is a hallmark of cellular transformation. The F-box protein Skp2 (S-phase kinase-associated protein 2) controls G(1)-S-phase progression and is subject to adhesion-dependent transcriptional regulation, although the mechanisms are poorly understood. We identify two cross-species conserved binding elements for the STAF (selenocysteine tRNA gene transcription-activating factor) in the Skp2 promoter that are essential for Skp2 promoter activity. Endogenous STAF specifically binds these elements in EMSA (electrophoretic mobility-shift assay) and ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) analysis. STAF is sufficient and necessary for Skp2 promoter activity since exogenous STAF activates promoter activity and expression and STAF siRNA (small interfering RNA) inhibits Skp2 promoter activity, mRNA and protein expression and cell proliferation. Furthermore, ectopic Skp2 expression completely reverses the inhibitory effects of STAF silencing on proliferation. Importantly, STAF expression and binding to the Skp2 promoter is adhesion-dependent and associated with adhesion-dependent Skp2 expression in non-transformed cells. Ectopic STAF rescues Skp2 expression in suspension cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that STAF is essential and sufficient for Skp2 promoter activity and plays a role in the adhesion-dependent expression of Skp2 and ultimately cell proliferation.

Autophagy requires poly(adp-ribosyl)ation-dependent AMPK nuclear export.

Project description:AMPK is a central energy sensor linking extracellular milieu fluctuations with the autophagic machinery. In the current study we uncover that Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), a post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins, accounts for the spatial and temporal regulation of autophagy by modulating AMPK subcellular localisation and activation. More particularly, we show that the minority AMPK pool needs to be exported to the cytosol in a PARylation-dependent manner for optimal induction of autophagy, including ULK1 phosphorylation and mTORC1 inactivation. PARP-1 forms a molecular complex with AMPK in the nucleus in non-starved cells. In response to nutrient deprivation, PARP-1 catalysed PARylation, induced the dissociation of the PARP-1/AMPK complex and the export of free PARylated nuclear AMPK to the cytoplasm to activate autophagy. PARP inhibition, its silencing or the expression of PARylation-deficient AMPK mutants prevented not only the AMPK nuclear-cytosolic export but also affected the activation of the cytosolic AMPK pool and autophagosome formation. These results demonstrate that PARylation of AMPK is a key early signal to efficiently convey extracellular nutrient perturbations with downstream events needed for the cell to optimize autophagic commitment before autophagosome formation.

Assembly of RNP granules in stressed and aging oocytes requires nucleoporins and is coordinated with nuclear membrane blebbing.

Project description:Protective cellular responses to stress and aging in the germline are essential for perpetuation of a species; however, relatively few studies have focused on how germ cells respond to stress and aging. We have previously shown that large ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes assemble in oocytes of Caenorhabditis during extended meiotic arrest or after environmental stress. Here we explore the regulation of these dynamic RNPs and demonstrate their assembly is coordinated with dramatic, nuclear membrane blebbing in oocytes. Our ultrastructural analyses reveal distinct changes in the endoplasmic reticulum, and the first evidence for the assembly of stacked annulate lamellae in Caenorhabditis. We further show several nucleoporins are required for the complete assembly of RNP granules, and a disruption in RNP granule assembly coupled with a low frequency of nuclear blebbing in arrested oocytes negatively impacts embryonic viability. Our observations support a model where nuclear membrane blebbing is required to increase the trafficking of nucleoporins to the cell cortex in stressed or meiotically arrested cells and to facilitate the recruitment of RNA and protein components of RNPs into large complexes. These new insights may have general implications for better understanding how germ cells preserve their integrity when fertilization is delayed and how cells respond to stress.
