Prolyl hydroxylation- and glycosylation-dependent functions of Skp1 in O2-regulated development of Dictyostelium.

ABSTRACT: O(2) regulates multicellular development of the social amoeba Dictyostelium, suggesting it may serve as an important cue in its native soil environment. Dictyostelium expresses an HIF?-type prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H1) whose levels affect the O(2)-threshold for culmination implicating it as a direct O(2)-sensor, as in animals. But Dictyostelium lacks HIF?, a mediator of animal prolyl 4-hydroxylase signaling, and P4H1 can hydroxylate Pro143 of Skp1, a subunit of E3(SCF)ubiquitin-ligases. Skp1 hydroxyproline then becomes the target of five sequential glycosyltransferase reactions that modulate the O(2)-signal. Here we show that genetically induced changes in Skp1 levels also affect the O(2)-threshold, in opposite direction to that of the modification enzymes suggesting that the latter reduce Skp1 activity. Consistent with this, overexpressed Skp1 is poorly hydroxylated and Skp1 is the only P4H1 substrate detectable in extracts. Effects of Pro143 mutations, and of combinations of Skp1 and enzyme level perturbations, are consistent with pathway modulation of Skp1 activity. However, some effects were not mirrored by changes in modification of the bulk Skp1 pool, implicating a Skp1 subpopulation and possibly additional unknown factors. Altered Skp1 levels also affected other developmental transitions in a modification-dependent fashion. Whereas hydroxylation of animal HIF? results in its polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, Dictyostelium Skp1 levels were little affected by its modification status. These data indicate that Skp1 and possibly E3(SCF)ubiquitin-ligase activity modulate O(2)-dependent culmination and other developmental processes, and at least partially mediate the action of the hydroxylation/glycosylation pathway in O(2)-sensing.

O(2) regulates multicellular development of the social amoeba Dictyostelium, suggesting it may serve as an important cue in its native soil environment. Dictyostelium expresses an HIFα-type prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H1) whose levels affect the O(2)-threshold for culmination implicating it as a direct O(2)-sensor, as in animals. But Dictyostelium lacks HIFα, a mediator of animal prolyl 4-hydroxylase signaling, and P4H1 can hydroxylate Pro143 of Skp1, a subunit of E3(SCF)ubiquitin-ligases. Skp1 hydr ...[more]

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.
