The P5 disulfide switch: taming the aging unfolded protein response.

ABSTRACT: Aging cells are characterized by a loss of proteostasis and a decreased ability to survive under environmental stress. Regulation of the UPR in aging cells has been under much scrutiny, and studies have shown that the UPR in these cells differs considerably from younger cells with regard to the induction of apoptosis and chaperone activity. The role of IRE-1 and PERK in UPR-associated apoptosis makes the regulation of these signaling cascades an important target of study. The seemingly contradictory findings regarding the role of P5 in activating and deactivating these responses warrant further investigation and may hold the key to unlocking the role of this protein in various pathological conditions. Another important target for study with regard to P5 is the effects of the localization of this protein in the mitochondria and the consequences, if any, of these effects on the activation of the UPR.

The Unfolded Protein Response and the Role of Protein Disulfide Isomerase in Neurodegeneration.

Project description:The maintenance and regulation of proteostasis is a critical function for post-mitotic neurons and its dysregulation is increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Despite having different clinical manifestations, these disorders share similar pathology; an accumulation of misfolded proteins in neurons and subsequent disruption to cellular proteostasis. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an important component of proteostasis, and when the accumulation of misfolded proteins occurs within the ER, this disturbs ER homeostasis, giving rise to ER stress. This triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), distinct signaling pathways that whilst initially protective, are pro-apoptotic if ER stress is prolonged. ER stress is increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, and emerging evidence highlights the complexity of the UPR in these disorders, with both protective and detrimental components being described. Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) is an ER chaperone induced during ER stress that is responsible for the formation of disulfide bonds in proteins. Whilst initially considered to be protective, recent studies have revealed unconventional roles for PDI in neurodegenerative diseases, distinct from its normal function in the UPR and the ER, although these mechanisms remain poorly defined. However, specific aspects of PDI function may offer the potential to be exploited therapeutically in the future. This review will focus on the evidence linking ER stress and the UPR to neurodegenerative diseases, with particular emphasis on the emerging functions ascribed to PDI in these conditions.

Smyd3-PARP16 axis accelerates unfolded protein response and vascular aging.

Project description:Vascular endothelial cell senescence and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced unfolded protein response (UPR) are two critical contributors to individual aging. However, whether these two biological events have crosstalk and are controlled by shared upstream regulators are largely unknown. Here, we found PARP16, a member of the Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases family that tail-anchored ER transmembrane, was upregulated in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vascular aging and promoted UPR. Further, PARP16 was epigenetically upregulated by Smyd3, a histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferase that bound to the promotor region of Parp16 gene and increased H3K4me3 level to activate its host gene's transcription. Intervention of either Smyd3 or PARP16 ameliorated vascular aging associated phenotypes in both cell and mice models. This study identified Smyd3-PARP16 as a novel signal axis in regulating UPR and endothelial senescence, and targeting this axis has implications in preventing vascular aging and related diseases.

The mitochondrial unfolded protein response regulates hippocampal neural stem cell aging.

Project description:Aging results in a decline in neural stem cells (NSCs), neurogenesis, and cognitive function, and evidence is emerging to demonstrate disrupted adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus of patients with several neurodegenerative disorders. Here, single-cell RNA sequencing of the dentate gyrus of young and old mice shows that the mitochondrial protein folding stress is prominent in activated NSCs/neural progenitors (NPCs) among the neurogenic niche, and it increases with aging accompanying dysregulated cell cycle and mitochondrial activity in activated NSCs/NPCs in the dentate gyrus. Increasing mitochondrial protein folding stress results in compromised NSC maintenance and reduced neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, neural hyperactivity, and impaired cognitive function. Reducing mitochondrial protein folding stress in the dentate gyrus of old mice improves neurogenesis and cognitive function. These results establish the mitochondrial protein folding stress as a driver of NSC aging and suggest approaches to improve aging-associated cognitive decline.

Protein disulfide isomerase blocks CEBPA translation and is up-regulated during the unfolded protein response in AML.

Project description:Deregulation of the myeloid key transcription factor CEBPA is a common event in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We previously reported that the chaperone calreticulin is activated in subgroups of AML patients and that calreticulin binds to the stem loop region of the CEBPA mRNA, thereby blocking CEBPA translation. In this study, we screened for additional CEBPA mRNA binding proteins and we identified protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein, to bind to the CEBPA mRNA stem loop region. We found that forced PDI expression in myeloid leukemic cells in fact blocked CEBPA translation, but not transcription, whereas abolishing PDI function restored CEBPA protein. In addition, PDI protein displayed direct physical interaction with calreticulin. Induction of ER stress in leukemic HL60 and U937 cells activated PDI expression, thereby decreasing CEBPA protein levels. Finally, leukemic cells from 25.4% of all AML patients displayed activation of the unfolded protein response as a marker for ER stress, and these patients also expressed significantly higher PDI levels. Our results indicate a novel role of PDI as a member of the ER stress-associated complex mediating blocked CEBPA translation and thereby suppressing myeloid differentiation in AML patients with activated unfolded protein response (UPR).

Unfolded protein response IRE1/XBP1 signaling is required for healthy mammalian brain aging.

Project description:Aging is a major risk factor to develop neurodegenerative diseases and is associated with decreased buffering capacity of the proteostasis network. We investigated the significance of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a major signaling pathway activated to cope with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, in the functional deterioration of the mammalian brain during aging. We report that genetic disruption of the ER stress sensor IRE1 accelerated age-related cognitive decline. In mouse models, overexpressing an active form of the UPR transcription factor XBP1 restored synaptic and cognitive function, in addition to reducing cell senescence. Proteomic profiling of hippocampal tissue showed that XBP1 expression significantly restore changes associated with aging, including factors involved in synaptic function and pathways linked to neurodegenerative diseases. The genes modified by XBP1 in the aged hippocampus where also altered. Collectively, our results demonstrate that strategies to manipulate the UPR in mammals may help sustain healthy brain aging.

The unfolded protein response is necessary but not sufficient to compensate for defects in disulfide isomerization.

Project description:Pdi1p (protein-disulfide isomerase) is a folding assistant of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that catalyzes disulfide formation and the isomerization of incorrect disulfides. Its disulfide forming activity is its essential function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A truncation mutant (Pdi1a') that is competent in disulfide formation but deficient in catalyzing isomerization has only a small effect on growth, although the maturation of isomerase-requiring substrates (carboxypeptidase Y) is impaired (Xiao, R., Wilkinson, B., Solovyov, A., Winther, J. R., Holmgren, A., Lundstrom-Ljung, J., and Gilbert, H. F. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 49780-49786). We show here that there are multiple ways to compensate for defects in disulfide formation and isomerization in the ER. Genes of the unfolded protein response are induced, and deletions of the nonessential IRE1 or HAC1 genes are synthetically lethal. Diploid synthetic lethality analysis by microarray (dSLAM) using PDIa' and a temperature-sensitive mutant of PDIa' as query mutations reveals a group of 130 synthetically lethal genes. Only 10 of these correspond to genes clearly associated with the unfolded protein response. More than half are involved in vesicle traffic, not only out of and into the ER but anterograde and retrograde traffic from most cellular compartments. This suggests that defects in protein maturation in one intracellular compartment may be compensated for by adjusting vesicular traffic patterns throughout the cell.

Unfolded protein response IRE1/XBP1 signaling is required for healthy mammalian brain aging

Project description:Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and associated with decreased buffering capacity of the proteostasis network. We investigated the significance of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a major signaling pathway activated to cope with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, in the functional deterioration of the aging mammalian brain. We report that genetic disruption of the ER stress sensor IRE1 accelerated age-related cognitive decline. In mouse models, overexpressing an active form of the UPR transcription factor XBP1 restored synaptic and cognitive function, in addition to reducing cell senescence. Proteomic profiling of hippocampal tissue showed that XBP1 expression is attenuated in conjunction with age-related alterations in synaptic function and pathways linked to neurodegenerative diseases. Similar changes were observed in human brain aging. Collectively, our results demonstrate that strategies to manipulate the UPR in mammals may help sustain healthy brain aging.

Unfolded Protein Response

Project description:To dissect the requirements of membrane protein degradation from the ER, we expressed the mouse major histocompatibility complex class I heavy chain H-2K(b) in yeast. Like other proteins degraded from the ER, unassembled H-2K(b) heavy chains are not transported to the Golgi but are degraded in a proteasome-dependent manner. The overexpression of H-2K(b) heavy chains induces the unfolded protein response (UPR). In yeast mutants unable to mount the UPR, H-2K(b) heavy chains are greatly stabilized. This defect in degradation is suppressed by the expression of the active form of Hac1p, the transcription factor that upregulates UPR-induced genes. These results indicate that induction of the UPR is required for the degradation of protein substrates from the ER.

Aging impairs the unfolded protein response to sleep deprivation and leads to proapoptotic signaling.

Project description:Protein misfolding, accumulation, and aggregation characterize many aging-related diseases. Protein aggregates do not accumulate in unstressed cells primarily because of the existence of competent cellular "quality control" machinery. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major part of this quality control system. Accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER causes ER stress and activates a signaling pathway called the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR limits protein load by upregulating ER chaperones such as Ig binding protein (BiP)/glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and by attenuating protein translation through eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2alpha) phosphorylation. Acute sleep deprivation (6 h) in young mice leads to induction of the UPR with upregulation of BiP/GRP78 and attenuation of protein translation. We demonstrate here that aging impairs this adaptive response to sleep deprivation. Aged mice do not display an increase in BiP expression with acute sleep deprivation. In addition, there is decreased basal expression of BiP/GRP78 in aged mice. There is a decline in eIF2alpha phosphorylation in aged mouse cerebral cortex that is associated with higher levels of GADD34 (growth arrest and DNA damage 34) and proapoptotic proteins such as CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein and activated caspase-12, suggesting that young animals possess an efficient ER adaptive response that declines with aging.
