A cytoplasmic prolyl hydroxylation and glycosylation pathway modifies Skp1 and regulates O2-dependent development in Dictyostelium.

ABSTRACT: The soil amoeba Dictyostelium is an obligate aerobe that monitors O(2) for informational purposes in addition to utilizing it for oxidative metabolism. Whereas low O(2) suffices for proliferation, a higher level is required for slugs to culminate into fruiting bodies, and O(2) influences slug polarity, slug migration, and cell-type proportioning. Dictyostelium expresses a cytoplasmic prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H1) known to mediate O(2)-sensing in animals, but lacks HIFalpha, a major hydroxylation target whose accumulation directly induces animal hypoxia-dependent transcriptional changes. The O(2)-requirement for culmination is increased by P4H1-gene disruption and reduced by P4H1 overexpression. A target of Dictyostelium P4H1 is Skp1, a subunit of the SCF-class of E3-ubiquitin ligases related to the VBC-class that mediates hydroxylation-dependent degradation of animal HIFalpha. Skp1 is a target of a novel cytoplasmic O-glycosylation pathway that modifies HyPro143 with a pentasaccharide, and glycosyltransferase mutants reveal that glycosylation intermediates have antagonistic effects toward P4H1 in O(2)-signaling. Current evidence indicates that Skp1 is the only glycosylation target in cells, based on metabolic labeling, biochemical complementation, and enzyme specificity studies. Bioinformatics studies suggest that the HyPro-modification pathway existed in the ancestral eukaryotic lineage and was retained in selected modern day unicellular organisms whose life cycles experience varying degrees of hypoxia. It is proposed that, in Dictyostelium and other protists including the agent for human toxoplasmosis Toxoplasma gondii, prolyl hydroxylation and glycosylation mediate O(2)-signaling in hierarchical fashion via Skp1 to control the proteome, directly via degradation rather than indirectly via transcription as found in animals.

Project description:Cardiac fibrosis-mediated heart failure (HF) is one of the major forms of end-stage cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Cardiac fibrosis is an adaptive response of the myocardium upon any insult/injury. Excessive deposition of collagen molecules in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is the hallmark of fibrosis. This fibrotic response initially protects the myocardium from ventricular rupture. Although in mammals this fibrotic response progresses towards scar-tissue formation leading to HF, some fishes and urodeles have mastered the art of cardiac regeneration following injury-mediated fibrotic response. Zebrafish have a unique capability to regenerate the myocardium after post-amputation injury. Following post-amputation, the ECM of the zebrafish heart undergoes extensive remodeling and deposition of collagen. Being the most abundant protein of ECM, collagen plays important role in the assembly and cell-matrix interactions. However, the mechanism of ECM remodeling is not well understood. Collagen molecules undergo heavy post-translational modifications (PTMs) mainly hydroxylation of proline, lysine, and glycosylation of lysine during biosynthesis. The critical roles of these PTMs are emerging in several diseases, embryonic development, cell behavior regulation, and cell-matrix interactions. The site-specific identification of these collagen PTMs in zebrafish heart ECM is not known. As these highly modified peptides are not amenable to mass spectrometry (MS), the site-specific identification of these collagen PTMs is challenging. Here, we have implemented our in-house proteomics analytical pipeline to analyze two ECM proteomics datasets (PXD011627, PXD010092) of the zebrafish heart during regeneration (post-amputation). We report the first comprehensive site-specific collagen PTM map of zebrafish heart ECM. We have identified a total of 36 collagen chains (19 are reported for the first time here) harboring a total of 95 prolyl-3-hydroxylation, 108 hydroxylysine, 29 galactosyl-hydroxylysine, and 128 glucosylgalactosyl-hydroxylysine sites. Furthermore, we comprehensively map the three chains (COL1A1a, COL1A1b, and COL1A2) of collagen I, the most abundant protein in zebrafish heart ECM. We achieved more than 95% sequence coverage for all the three chains of collagen I. Our analysis also revealed the dynamics of prolyl-3-hydroxylation occupancy oscillations during heart regeneration at these sites. Moreover, quantitative site-specific analysis of lysine-O-glycosylation microheterogeneity during heart regeneration revealed a significant (p < 0.05) elevation of site-specific (K1017) glucosylgalactosyl-hydroxylysine on the col1a1a chain. Taken together, these site-specific PTM maps and the dynamic changes of site-specific collagen PTMs in ECM during heart regeneration will open up new avenues to decode ECM remodeling and may lay the foundation to tinker the cardiac regeneration process with new approaches.

Project description:Protein hydroxylases are oxygen- and ?-ketoglutarate-dependent enzymes that catalyse hydroxylation of amino acids such as proline, thus linking oxygen and metabolism to enzymatic activity. Prolyl hydroxylation is a dynamic post-translational modification that regulates protein stability and protein-protein interactions; however, the extent of this modification is largely uncharacterized. The goals of this study are to investigate the biological consequences of prolyl hydroxylation and to identify new targets that undergo prolyl hydroxylation in human cardiomyocytes.We used human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes in combination with pulse-chase amino acid labelling and proteomics to analyse the effects of prolyl hydroxylation on protein degradation and synthesis. We identified 167 proteins that exhibit differences in degradation with inhibition of prolyl hydroxylation by dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG); 164 were stabilized. Proteins involved in RNA splicing such as serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2) and splicing factor and proline- and glutamine-rich (SFPQ) were stabilized with DMOG. DMOG also decreased protein translation of cytoskeletal and sarcomeric proteins such as ?-cardiac actin. We searched the mass spectrometry data for proline hydroxylation and identified 134 high confidence peptides mapping to 78 unique proteins. We identified SRSF2, SFPQ, ?-cardiac actin, and cardiac titin as prolyl hydroxylated. We identified 29 prolyl hydroxylated proteins that showed a significant difference in either protein degradation or synthesis. Additionally, we performed next-generation RNA sequencing and showed that the observed decrease in protein synthesis was not due to changes in mRNA levels. Because RNA splicing factors were prolyl hydroxylated, we investigated splicing ± inhibition of prolyl hydroxylation and detected 369 alternative splicing events, with a preponderance of exon skipping.This study provides the first extensive characterization of the cardiac prolyl hydroxylome and demonstrates that inhibition of ?-ketoglutarate hydroxylases alters protein stability, translation, and splicing.
