GLTSCR2 promotes the nucleoplasmic translocation and subsequent degradation of nucleolar ARF.

ABSTRACT: The alternative reading frame protein (p14ARF/ARF) is a key determinant of cell fate, acting as a potent tumor suppressor through a p53/MDM2-dependent pathway or promoting apoptosis in a p53-independent manner. The ARF protein is mainly expressed in the nucleolus and sequestered by nucleophosmin (NPM), whereas ARF-binding proteins, including p53 and MDM2, predominantly reside in the nucleoplasm. This raises the question of how nucleolar ARF binds nucleoplasmic signaling proteins to suppress tumor growth or inhibit cell cycle progression. GLTSCR2 (also known as PICT-1) is a nucleolar protein involved in both tumor suppression and oncogenesis in concert with p53, NPM, and/or MYC. Here, we show that GLTSCR2 increases nucleoplasmic ARF translocation and its degradation. Specifically, GLTSCR2 bound to ARF, and GLTSCR2-ARF complexes were released to the nucleoplasm, where GLTSCR2 increased the binding affinity of ARF for ULF/TRIP12 (a nucleoplasmic E3-ubiquitin ligase of ARF) and enhanced ARF degradation through the polyubiquitination pathway. Our results demonstrate that nucleolar/nucleoplasmic GLTSCR2 is a strong candidate for promoting the subcellular localization and protein stability of ARF.

Cytoplasmic Translocation of Nucleolar Protein NOP53 Promotes Viral Replication by Suppressing Host Defense.

Project description:NOP53 is a tumor suppressor protein located in the nucleolus and is translocated to the cytoplasm during infection by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), as shown in our previous study. Cytoplasmic NOP53 interacts with the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) to remove its K63-linked ubiquitination, leading to attenuation of type I interferon IFN-β. In the present study, we found no obvious translocation of NOP53 in infection by a mutant virus lacking ICP4 (HSV-1/d120, replication inadequate). Blocking cytoplasmic translocation of NOP53 by the deletion of its nuclear export sequence (NES) abrogated its ability to support viral replication. These results demonstrated that NOP53 redistribution is related to viral replication. It is interesting that treatment with poly (I:C) or RIG-I-N (a constitutively-active variant) directly induced NOP53 cytoplasmic translocation. To better assess the function of cytoplasmic NOP53 in viral replication, the NOP53-derived protein N3-T, which contains a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-derived cell-penetrating Tat peptide at the C-terminal region of N3 (residues 330?432), was constructed and expressed. The recombinant N3-T protein formed trimers, attenuated the expression of IFN-β and IFN-stimulated genes, as well as decreased the phosphorylation level of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Furthermore, N3-T promoted the efficient replication of enveloped and non-enveloped DNA and RNA viruses belonging to 5 families. Our findings expand the understanding of the mechanism by which viruses utilize the nucleolar protein NOP53 for optimal viral replication.

Nucleolar-nucleoplasmic shuttling of TARG1 and its control by DNA damage-induced poly-ADP-ribosylation and by nucleolar transcription.

Project description:Macrodomains are conserved protein folds associated with ADP-ribose binding and turnover. ADP-ribosylation is a posttranslational modification catalyzed primarily by ARTD (aka PARP) enzymes in cells. ARTDs transfer either single or multiple ADP-ribose units to substrates, resulting in mono- or poly-ADP-ribosylation. TARG1/C6orf130 is a macrodomain protein that hydrolyzes mono-ADP-ribosylation and interacts with poly-ADP-ribose chains. Interactome analyses revealed that TARG1 binds strongly to ribosomes and proteins associated with rRNA processing and ribosomal assembly factors. TARG1 localized to transcriptionally active nucleoli, which occurred independently of ADP-ribose binding. TARG1 shuttled continuously between nucleoli and nucleoplasm. In response to DNA damage, which activates ARTD1/2 (PARP1/2) and promotes synthesis of poly-ADP-ribose chains, TARG1 re-localized to the nucleoplasm. This was dependent on the ability of TARG1 to bind to poly-ADP-ribose. These findings are consistent with the observed ability of TARG1 to competitively interact with RNA and PAR chains. We propose a nucleolar role of TARG1 in ribosome assembly or quality control that is stalled when TARG1 is re-located to sites of DNA damage.

Nucleoplasmic and nucleolar distribution of the adenovirus IVa2 gene product.

Project description:Sequence elements (DE) located downstream of the adenovirus major late promoter start site have previously been shown to be essential for the activation of this promoter after the onset of viral DNA replication. Two proteins (DEF-A and DEF-B) bind to these elements in a late-phase-dependent manner and contribute to this activation. DEF-B corresponds to a dimer of the adenovirus IVa2 gene product (pIVa2, 449 residues), while DEF-A is a heteromeric protein also comprising pIVa2. As revealed by specific immunofluorescence staining of infected cells, pIVa2 is targeted to the nucleus, where it distributes to both nucleoplasmic and nucleolar structures. We have identified the pIVa2 nuclear localization signal (NLS) as a basic peptide element at the C terminus of the protein (residues 432 to 449). An element essential for nucleolar localization (NuLS) has been mapped in the N-terminal part of pIVa2 (between residues 50 and 136). While NuLS activity is dependent upon an intact NLS, we show that both NLS and NuLS functions are independent of specific DNA-binding activity. As visualized by immunoelectron microscopy, pIVa2 is detected in the nucleoplasm at the level of the fibrillogranular network which is active in viral transcription. More surprisingly, pIVa2 accumulates within electron-dense amorphous inclusions found both in the nucleoplasm and in the nucleolus. Altogether, these results suggest that, besides controlling major late promoter transcription, pIVa2 serves additional, as yet unknown functions.

Rapid factor depletion highlights intricacies of nucleoplasmic RNA degradation.

Project description:Turnover of nucleoplasmic transcripts by the mammalian multi-subunit RNA exosome is mediated by two adaptors: the Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex and the Poly(A) tail eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection. Functional analyses of NEXT and PAXT have largely utilized long-term factor depletion strategies, facilitating the appearance of indirect phenotypes. Here, we rapidly deplete NEXT, PAXT and core exosome components, uncovering the direct consequences of their acute losses. Generally, proteome changes are sparse and largely dominated by co-depletion of other exosome and adaptor subunits, reflecting possible subcomplex compositions. While parallel high-resolution 3' end sequencing of newly synthesized RNA confirms previously established factor specificities, it concomitantly demonstrates an inflation of long-term depletion datasets by secondary effects. Most strikingly, a general intron degradation phenotype, observed in long-term NEXT depletion samples, is undetectable upon short-term depletion, which instead emphasizes NEXT targeting of snoRNA-hosting introns. Further analysis of these introns uncovers an unusual mode of core exosome-independent RNA decay. Our study highlights the accumulation of RNAs as an indirect result of long-term decay factor depletion, which we speculate is, at least partly, due to the exhaustion of alternative RNA decay pathways.

Quantitative analysis of rat liver nucleolar and nucleoplasmic ribosomal ribonucleic acids.

Project description:rRNA from detergent-purified nuclei was fractionated quantitatively, by two independent methods, into nucleolar and nucleoplasmic RNA fractions. The two RNA fractions were analysed by urea/agar-gel electrophoresis and the amount of pre-rRNA (precursor of rRNA) and rRNA components was determined. The rRNA constitutes 35% of total nuclear RNA, of which two-thirds are in nucleolar RNA and one-third in nucleoplasmic RNA. The identified pre-rRNA components (45 S, 41 S, 39 S, 36 S, 32 S and 21 S) are confined to the nucleolus and constitute about 70% of its rRNA. The remaining 30% are represented by 28 S and 18 S rRNA, in a molar ratio of 1.4. The bulk of rRNA in nucleoplasmic RNA is represented by 28 S and 18 S rRNA in a molar ratio close to 1.0. Part of the mature rRNA species in nucleoplasmic RNA originate from ribosomes attached to the outer nuclear membrane, which resist detergent treatment. The absolute amount of nuclear pre-rRNA and rRNA components was evaluated. The amount of 32 S and 21 S pre-rRNA (2.9 x 10(4) and 2.5 x 10(4) molecules per nucleus respectively) is 2-3-fold higher than that of 45 S, 41 S and 36 S pre-rRNA.

CRM1 controls the composition of nucleoplasmic pre-snoRNA complexes to licence them for nucleolar transport.

Project description:Transport of C/D snoRNPs to nucleoli involves nuclear export factors. In particular, CRM1 binds nascent snoRNPs, but its precise role remains unknown. We show here that both CRM1 and nucleocytoplasmic trafficking are required to transport snoRNPs to nucleoli, but the snoRNPs do not transit through the cytoplasm. Instead, CRM1 controls the composition of nucleoplasmic pre-snoRNP complexes. We observed that Tgs1 long form (Tgs1 LF), the long isoform of the cap hypermethylase, contains a leucine-rich nuclear export signal, shuttles in a CRM1-dependent manner, and binds to the nucleolar localization signal (NoLS) of the core snoRNP protein Nop58. In vitro data indicate that CRM1 binds Tgs1 LF and promotes its dissociation from Nop58 NoLS, and immunoprecipitation experiments from cells indicate that the association of Tgs1 LF with snoRNPs increases upon CRM1 inhibition. Thus, CRM1 appears to promote nucleolar transport of snoRNPs by removing Tgs1 LF from the Nop58 NoLS. Microarray/IP data show that this occurs on most snoRNPs, from both C/D and H/ACA families, and on the telomerase RNA. Hence, CRM1 provides a general molecular link between nuclear events and nucleocytoplasmic trafficking.

REBELOTE, a regulator of floral determinacy in Arabidopsis thaliana, interacts with both nucleolar and nucleoplasmic proteins.

Project description:The nucleoplasm and nucleolus are the two main territories of the nucleus. While specific functions are associated with each of these territories (such as mRNA synthesis in the nucleoplasm and ribosomal rRNA synthesis in the nucleolus), some proteins are known to be located in both. Here, we investigated the molecular function of REBELOTE (RBL), an Arabidopsis thaliana protein previously characterized as a regulator of floral meristem termination. We show that RBL displays a dual localization, in the nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Moreover, we used direct and global approaches to demonstrate that RBL interacts with nucleic acid-binding proteins. It binds to the NOC proteins SWA2, AtNOC2 and AtNOC3 in both the nucleolus and nucleoplasm, and also to OBE1 and VFP3/ENAP1. Taking into account the identities of these RBL interactors, we hypothesize that RBL acts both in ribosomal biogenesis and in the regulation of gene expression.

Monitoring nucleolar-nucleoplasmic protein shuttling in living cells by high-content microscopy and automated image analysis.

Project description:The nucleolus has core functions in ribosome biosynthesis, but also acts as a regulatory hub in a plethora of non-canonical processes, including cellular stress. Upon DNA damage, several DNA repair factors shuttle between the nucleolus and the nucleoplasm. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying such spatio-temporal protein dynamics remain to be deciphered. Here, we present a novel imaging platform to investigate nucleolar-nucleoplasmic protein shuttling in living cells. For image acquisition, we used a commercially available automated fluorescence microscope and for image analysis, we developed a KNIME workflow with implementation of machine learning-based tools. We validated the method with different nucleolar proteins, i.e., PARP1, TARG1 and APE1, by monitoring their shuttling dynamics upon oxidative stress. As a paradigm, we analyzed PARP1 shuttling upon H2O2 treatment in combination with a range of pharmacological inhibitors in a novel reporter cell line. These experiments revealed that inhibition of SIRT7 results in a loss of nucleolar PARP1 localization. Finally, we unraveled specific differences in PARP1 shuttling dynamics after co-treatment with H2O2 and different clinical PARP inhibitors. Collectively, this work delineates a highly sensitive and versatile bioimaging platform to investigate swift nucleolar-nucleoplasmic protein shuttling in living cells, which can be employed for pharmacological screening and in-depth mechanistic analyses.

Dynamic nucleoplasmic and nucleolar localization of mammalian RNase H1 in response to RNAP I transcriptional R-loops.

Project description:An R-loop is a DNA:RNA hybrid formed during transcription when a DNA duplex is invaded by a nascent RNA transcript. R-loops accumulate in nucleoli during RNA polymerase I (RNAP I) transcription. Here, we report that mammalian RNase H1 enriches in nucleoli and co-localizes with R-loops in cultured human cells. Co-migration of RNase H1 and R-loops from nucleoli to perinucleolar ring structures was observed upon inhibition of RNAP I transcription. Treatment with camptothecin which transiently stabilized nucleolar R-loops recruited RNase H1 to the nucleoli. It has been reported that the absence of Topoisomerase and RNase H activity in Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae caused R-loop accumulation along rDNA. We found that the distribution of RNase H1 and Top1 along rDNA coincided at sites where R-loops accumulated in mammalian cells. Loss of either RNase H1 or Top1 caused R-loop accumulation, and the accumulation of R-loops was exacerbated when both proteins were depleted. Importantly, we observed that protein levels of Top1 were negatively correlated with the abundance of RNase H1. We conclude that Top1 and RNase H1 are partially functionally redundant in mammalian cells to suppress RNAP I transcription-associate R-loops.

Phosphorylation of Kif26b promotes its polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation during kidney development.

Project description:Kif26b, a member of the kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs), is essential for kidney development. Kif26b expression is restricted to the metanephric mesenchyme, and its transcription is regulated by a zinc finger transcriptional regulator Sall1. However, the mechanism(s) by which Kif26b protein is regulated remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate phosphorylation and subsequent polyubiquitination of Kif26b in the developing kidney. We find that Kif26b interacts with an E3 ubiquitin ligase, neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 4 (Nedd4) in developing kidney. Phosphorylation of Kif26b at Thr-1859 and Ser-1962 by the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) enhances the interaction of Kif26b with Nedd4. Nedd4 polyubiquitinates Kif26b and thereby promotes degradation of Kif26b via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Furthermore, Kif26b lacks ATPase activity but does associate with microtubules. Nocodazole treatment not only disrupts the localization of Kif26b to microtubules but also promotes phosphorylation and polyubiquitination of Kif26b. These results suggest that the function of Kif26b is microtubule-based and that Kif26b degradation in the metanephric mesenchyme via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway may be important for proper kidney development.
