O-linked N-acetylglucosamine modification of insulin receptor substrate-1 occurs in close proximity to multiple SH2 domain binding motifs.

ABSTRACT: Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is a highly phosphorylated adaptor protein critical to insulin and IGF-1 receptor signaling. Ser/Thr kinases impact the metabolic and mitogenic effects elicited by insulin and IGF-1 through feedback and feed forward regulation at the level of IRS-1. Ser/Thr residues of IRS-1 are also O-GlcNAc-modified, which may influence the phosphorylation status of the protein. To facilitate the understanding of the functional effects of O-GlcNAc modification on IRS-1-mediated signaling, we identified the sites of O-GlcNAc modification of rat and human IRS-1. Tandem mass spectrometric analysis of IRS-1, exogenously expressed in HEK293 cells, revealed that the C terminus, which is rich in docking sites for SH2 domain-containing proteins, was O-GlcNAc-modified at multiple residues. Rat IRS-1 was O-GlcNAc-modified at Ser(914), Ser(1009), Ser(1036), and Ser(1041). Human IRS-1 was O-GlcNAc-modified at Ser(984) or Ser(985), at Ser(1011), and possibly at multiple sites within residues 1025-1045. O-GlcNAc modification at a conserved residue in rat (Ser(1009)) and human (Ser(1011)) IRS-1 is adjacent to a putative binding motif for the N-terminal SH2 domains of p85alpha and p85beta regulatory subunits of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 (PTPN11). Immunoblot analysis using an antibody generated against human IRS-1 Ser(1011) GlcNAc further confirmed the site of attachment and the identity of the +203.2-Da mass shift as beta-N-acetylglucosamine. The accumulation of IRS-1 Ser(1011) GlcNAc in HEPG2 liver cells and MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts upon inhibition of O-GlcNAcase indicates that O-GlcNAcylation of endogenously expressed IRS-1 is a dynamic process that occurs at normal glucose concentrations (5 mm). O-GlcNAc modification did not occur at any known or newly identified Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites and in most cases occurred simultaneously with phosphorylation of nearby residues. These findings suggest that O-GlcNAc modification represents an additional layer of posttranslational regulation that may impact the specificity of effects elicited by insulin and IGF-1.

Project description:BackgroundAccording to Waddington's epigenetic landscape concept, the differentiation process can be illustrated by a cell akin to a ball rolling down from the top of a hill (proliferation state) and crossing furrows before stopping in basins or "attractor states" to reach its stable differentiated state. However, it is now clear that some committed cells can retain a certain degree of plasticity and reacquire phenotypical characteristics of a more pluripotent cell state. In line with this dynamic model, we have previously shown that differentiating cells (chicken erythrocytic progenitors (T2EC)) retain for 24 h the ability to self-renew when transferred back in self-renewal conditions. Despite those intriguing and promising results, the underlying molecular state of those "reverting" cells remains unexplored. The aim of the present study was therefore to molecularly characterize the T2EC reversion process by combining advanced statistical tools to make the most of single-cell transcriptomic data. For this purpose, T2EC, initially maintained in a self-renewal medium (0H), were induced to differentiate for 24H (24H differentiating cells); then, a part of these cells was transferred back to the self-renewal medium (48H reverting cells) and the other part was maintained in the differentiation medium for another 24H (48H differentiating cells). For each time point, cell transcriptomes were generated using scRT-qPCR and scRNAseq.ResultsOur results showed a strong overlap between 0H and 48H reverting cells when applying dimensional reduction. Moreover, the statistical comparison of cell distributions and differential expression analysis indicated no significant differences between these two cell groups. Interestingly, gene pattern distributions highlighted that, while 48H reverting cells have gene expression pattern more similar to 0H cells, they are not completely identical, which suggest that for some genes a longer delay may be required for the cells to fully recover. Finally, sparse PLS (sparse partial least square) analysis showed that only the expression of 3 genes discriminates 48H reverting and 0H cells.ConclusionsAltogether, we show that reverting cells return to an earlier molecular state almost identical to undifferentiated cells and demonstrate a previously undocumented physiological and molecular plasticity during the differentiation process, which most likely results from the dynamic behavior of the underlying molecular network.
