Inhibitors of the V0 subunit of the vacuolar H+-ATPase prevent segregation of lysosomal- and secretory-pathway proteins.

ABSTRACT: The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) establishes pH gradients along secretory and endocytic pathways. Progressive acidification is essential for proteolytic processing of prohormones and aggregation of soluble content proteins. The V-ATPase V(0) subunit is thought to have a separate role in budding and fusion events. Prolonged treatment of professional secretory cells with selective V-ATPase inhibitors (bafilomycin A1, concanamycin A) was used to investigate its role in secretory-granule biogenesis. As expected, these inhibitors eliminated regulated secretion and blocked prohormone processing. Drug treatment caused the formation of large, mixed organelles, with components of immature granules and lysosomes and some markers of autophagy. Markers of the trans-Golgi network and earlier secretory pathway were unaffected. Ammonium chloride and methylamine treatment blocked acidification to a similar extent as the V-ATPase inhibitors without producing mixed organelles. Newly synthesized granule content proteins appeared in mixed organelles, whereas mature secretory granules were spared. Following concanamycin treatment, selected membrane proteins enter tubulovesicular structures budding into the interior of mixed organelles. shRNA-mediated knockdown of the proteolipid subunit of V(0) also caused vesiculation of immature granules. Thus, V-ATPase has a role in protein sorting in immature granules that is distinct from its role in acidification.

Project description:Lysosomes, as primary degradative organelles, are the endpoint of different converging pathways, including macroautophagy. To date, lysosome degradative function has been mainly studied in interphase cells, while their role during mitosis remains controversial. Mitosis dictates the faithful transmission of genetic material among generations, and perturbations of mitotic division lead to chromosomal instability, a hallmark of cancer. Heretofore, correct mitotic progression relies on the orchestrated degradation of mitotic factors, which was mainly attributed to ubiquitin-triggered proteasome-dependent degradation. Here, we show that mitotic transition also relies on lysosome-dependent degradation, as impairment of lysosomes increases mitotic timing and leads to mitotic errors, thus promoting chromosomal instability. Furthermore, we identified several putative lysosomal targets in mitotic cells. Among them, WAPL, a cohesin regulatory protein, emerged as a novel SQSTM1-interacting protein for targeted lysosomal degradation. Finally, we characterized an atypical nuclear phenotype, the toroidal nucleus, as a novel biomarker for genotoxic screenings. Our results establish lysosome-dependent degradation as an essential event to prevent chromosomal instability.Abbreviations: 3D: three-dimensional; APC/C: anaphase-promoting complex; ARL8B: ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 8B; ATG: autophagy-related; BORC: BLOC-one-related complex; CDK: cyclin-dependent kinase; CENPE: centromere protein E; CIN: chromosomal instability; ConcA: concanamycin A; CQ: chloroquine; DAPI: 4,6-diamidino-2-penylinole; FTI: farnesyltransferase inhibitors; GFP: green fluorescent protein; H2B: histone 2B; KIF: kinesin family member; LAMP2: lysosomal associated membrane protein 2; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MEF: mouse embryonic fibroblast; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; PDS5B: PDS5 cohesin associated factor B; SAC: spindle assembly checkpoint; PLEKHM2: pleckstrin homology and RUN domain containing M2; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; ULK1: unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1; UPS: ubiquitin-proteasome system; v-ATPase: vacuolar-type H+-translocating ATPase; WAPL: WAPL cohesion release factor.
