Nucleolar and coiled-body phosphoprotein 1 (NOLC1) regulates the nucleolar retention of TRF2.

ABSTRACT: Telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) was reported to localize in the nucleolus of human cells in a cell cycle-dependent manner; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we found that nucleolar and coiled-body phosphoprotein 1 (NOLC1) interacted with TRF2 and mediated the shuttling of TRF2 between the nucleolus and nucleus in human 293T and HepG2 cells. Ablation of NOLC1 expression increased the number of nuclear TRF2 foci and decreased the nucleolar level of TRF2. Conversely, NOLC1 overexpression promoted the nucleolar accumulation of TRF2. NOLC1 overexpression also increased the number of 53BP1 foci and induced the DNA damage response. In addition, co-expression of TRF2 rescued NOLC1 overexpression-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

FGF12 is a novel component of the nucleolar NOLC1/TCOF1 ribosome biogenesis complex.

Project description:Among the FGF proteins, the least characterized superfamily is the group of fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHFs). To date, the main role of FHFs has been primarily seen in the modulation of voltage-gated ion channels, but a full picture of the function of FHFs inside the cell is far from complete. In the present study, we focused on identifying novel FGF12 binding partners to indicate its intracellular functions. Among the identified proteins, a significant number were nuclear proteins, especially RNA-binding proteins involved in translational processes, such as ribosomal processing and modification. We have demonstrated that FGF12 is localized to the nucleolus, where it interacts with NOLC1 and TCOF1, proteins involved in the assembly of functional ribosomes. Interactions with both NOLC1 and TCOF1 are unique to FGF12, as other FHF proteins only bind to TCOF1. The formation of nucleolar FGF12 complexes with NOLC1 and TCOF1 is phosphorylation-dependent and requires the C-terminal region of FGF12. Surprisingly, NOLC1 and TCOF1 are unable to interact with each other in the absence of FGF12. Taken together, our data link FHF proteins to nucleoli for the first time and suggest a novel and unexpected role for FGF12 in ribosome biogenesis. Video Abstract.

Nucleolar TRF2 attenuated nucleolus stress-induced HCC cell-cycle arrest by altering rRNA synthesis.

Project description:The nucleolus is an important organelle that is responsible for the biogenesis of ribosome RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal subunits assembly. It is also deemed to be the center of metabolic control, considering the critical role of ribosomes in protein translation. Perturbations of rRNA synthesis are closely related to cell proliferation and tumor progression. Telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) is a member of shelterin complex that is responsible for telomere DNA protection. Interestingly, it was recently reported to localize in the nucleolus of human cells in a cell-cycle-dependent manner, while the underlying mechanism and its role on the nucleolus remained unclear. In this study, we found that nucleolar and coiled-body phosphoprotein 1 (NOLC1), a nucleolar protein that is responsible for the nucleolus construction and rRNA synthesis, interacted with TRF2 and mediated the shuttle of TRF2 between the nucleolus and nucleus. Abating the expression of NOLC1 decreased the nucleolar-resident TRF2. Besides, the nucleolar TRF2 could bind rDNA and promoted rRNA transcription. Furthermore, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines HepG2 and SMMC7721, TRF2 overexpression participated in the nucleolus stress-induced rRNA inhibition and cell-cycle arrest.

M phase phosphoprotein 10 is a human U3 small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein component.

Project description:We have previously developed a novel technique for isolation of cDNAs encoding M phase phosphoproteins (MPPs). In the work described herein, we further characterize MPP10, one of 10 novel proteins that we identified, with regard to its potential nucleolar function. We show that by cell fractionation, almost all MPP10 was found in isolated nucleoli. By immunofluorescence, MPP10 colocalized with nucleolar fibrillarin and other known nucleolar proteins in interphase cells but was not detected in the coiled bodies stained for either fibrillarin or p80 coilin, a protein found only in the coiled body. When nucleoli were separated into fibrillar and granular domains by treatment with actinomycin D, almost all the MPP10 was found in the fibrillar caps, which contain proteins involved in rRNA processing. In early to middle M phase of the cell cycle, MPP10 colocalized with fibrillarin to chromosome surfaces. At telophase, MPP10 was found in cellular structures that resembled nucleolus-derived bodies and prenucleolar bodies. Some of these bodies lacked fibrillarin, a previously described component of nucleolus-derived bodies and prenucleolar bodies, however, and the bulk of MPP10 arrived at the nucleolus later than fibrillarin. To further examine the properties of MPP10, we immunoprecipitated it from cell sonicates. The resulting precipitates contained U3 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) but no significant amounts of other box C/D snoRNAs. This association of MPP10 with U3 snoRNA was stable to 400 mM salt and suggested that MPP10 is a component of the human U3 small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein.

POT1 association with TRF2 regulates telomere length.

Project description:Deleting the OB folds encoding the telomeric single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding activity of the human telomeric protein POT1 induces significant telomere elongation, suggesting that at least one critical aspect of the regulation of telomere length is disrupted by this POT1(DeltaOB) mutant protein. POT1 is known to associate with two proteins through the protein interaction domain retained in POT1(DeltaOB)-the telomeric double-stranded DNA-binding protein TRF2 and the telomere-associated protein TPP1. We report that introducing a mutation that reduces association of POT1 with TRF2, but not a mutation that reduces the association with TPP1, abrogates the ability of POT1(DeltaOB) to promote telomere elongation. Mechanistically, expression of POT1(DeltaOB) reduced the association of TRF2 with POT1, RAP1, and TIN2; however, of these proteins, only ectopic expression of POT1 suppressed the telomere elongation induced by POT1(DeltaOB). Lastly, replacing endogenous POT1 with a full-length POT1 mutant defective in the association with TRF2 induced telomere elongation. Thus, we conclude that the association of POT1 with both ssDNA and TRF2 is critical for telomere length homeostasis.

Nucleolar Phosphoprotein NPM1 Interacts With Porcine Circovirus Type 3 Cap Protein and Facilitates Viral Replication.

Project description:Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a recently discovered virus with potentially significant implications on the global swine industry. PCV3 replication involves the entry of the viral capsid (Cap) protein with nucleolar localization signals into the nucleus. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, nucleolar phosphoprotein NPM1 was identified as one of the cellular proteins bound to PCV3 Cap. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that PCV3 Cap interacts directly with NPM1, where the region binding with NPM1 is mapped to amino acid residues 1-38 of Cap. Upon co-transfection, the expression of Cap protein promoted the redistribution of NPM1, which translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and colocalized with Cap in cultured PK15 cells. NPM1 expression was upregulated and translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in PCV3-infected cells, upon siRNA-mediated depletion, or upon treatment with NPM1 inhibitor in PK15 cells with impaired PCV3 replication, as evidenced by decreased levels of viral DNA synthesis and protein expression. By contrast, the replication of PCV3 was enhanced in stably NPM1-expressing cells via a lentivirus-delivered system. Taken together, these findings indicate that NPM1 interacts with PCV3 Cap and plays a crucial role in PCV3 replication.

The Nucleolar Localization Signal of Porcine Circovirus Type 4 Capsid Protein Is Essential for Interaction With Serine-48 Residue of Nucleolar Phosphoprotein Nucleophosmin-1.

Project description:Porcine circovirus type 4 (PCV4) is an emerging etiological agent which was first detected in 2019. The nucleolar localization signal (NoLS) of PCV4 Cap protein and its binding host cellular proteins are still not elucidated. In the present study, we discovered a distinct novel NoLS of PCV4 Cap, which bound to the nucleolar phosphoprotein nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1). The NoLS of PCV4 Cap and serine-48 residue at the N-terminal oligomerization domain of NPM1 were necessary for PCV4 Cap/NPM1 interaction. Furthermore, the charge property of serine residue at position 48 of the NPM1 was crucial for its oligomerization and interaction with PCV4 Cap. In summary, our findings show for the first time that the PCV4 Cap NoLS and the NPM1 oligomerization determine the interaction of Cap/NPM1.

An abundant nucleolar phosphoprotein is associated with ribosomal DNA in Tetrahymena macronuclei.

Project description:An abundant 52-kDa phosphoprotein was identified and characterized from macronuclei of the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila. Immunoblot analyses combined with light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry demonstrate that this polypeptide, termed Nopp52, is enriched in the nucleoli of transcriptionally active macronuclei and missing altogether from transcriptionally inert micronuclei. The cDNA sequence encoding Nopp52 predicts a polypeptide whose amino-terminal half consists of multiple acidic/serine-rich regions alternating with basic/proline-rich regions. Multiple serines located in these acidic stretches lie within casein kinase II consensus motifs, and Nopp52 is an excellent substrate for casein kinase II in vitro. The carboxyl-terminal half of Nopp52 contains two RNA recognition motifs and an extreme carboxyl-terminal domain rich in glycine, arginine, and phenylalanine, motifs common in many RNA processing proteins. A similar combination and order of motifs is found in vertebrate nucleolin and yeast NSR1, suggesting that Nopp52 is a member of a family of related nucleolar proteins. NSR1 and nucleolin have been implicated in transcriptional regulation of rDNA and rRNA processing. Consistent with a role in ribosomal gene metabolism, rDNA and Nopp52 colocalize in situ, as well as by cross-linking and immunoprecipitation experiments, demonstrating an association between Nopp52 and rDNA in vivo.

Nucleolar AATF regulates c-Jun-mediated apoptosis.

Project description:The AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun has been shown to be essential for stress-induced apoptosis in several models. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the proapoptotic activity of c-Jun are poorly understood. We identify the apoptosis-antagonizing transcription factor (AATF) as a novel nucleolar stress sensor, which is required as a cofactor for c-Jun-mediated apoptosis. Overexpression or down-regulation of AATF expression levels led to a respective increase or decrease in the amount of activated and phosphorylated c-Jun with a proportional alteration in the induction levels of the proapoptotic c-Jun target genes FasL and TNF-?. Accordingly, AATF promoted commitment of ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated cells to c-Jun-dependent apoptosis. Whereas AATF overexpression potentiated UV-induced apoptosis in wild-type cells, c-Jun-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts were resistant to AATF-mediated apoptosis induction. Furthermore, AATF mutants defective in c-Jun binding were also defective in inducing AP-1 activity and c-Jun-mediated apoptosis. UV irradiation induced a translocation of AATF from the nucleolus to the nucleus, thereby enabling its physical association to c-Jun. Analysis of AATF deletion mutants revealed that the AATF domains required for compartmentalization, c-Jun binding, and enhancement of c-Jun transcriptional activity were all also required to induce c-Jun-dependent apoptosis. These results identify AATF as a nucleolar-confined c-Jun cofactor whose expression levels and spatial distribution determine the stress-induced activity of c-Jun and the levels of c-Jun-mediated apoptosis.

The Telomeric Protein TRF2 Regulates Replication Origin Activity within Pericentromeric Heterochromatin.

Project description:Heterochromatic regions render the replication process particularly difficult due to the high level of chromatin compaction and the presence of repeated DNA sequences. In humans, replication through pericentromeric heterochromatin requires the binding of a complex formed by the telomeric factor TRF2 and the helicase RTEL1 in order to relieve topological barriers blocking fork progression. Since TRF2 is known to bind the Origin Replication Complex (ORC), we hypothesized that this factor could also play a role at the replication origins (ORI) of these heterochromatin regions. By performing DNA combing analysis, we found that the ORI density is higher within pericentromeric satellite DNA repeats than within bulk genomic DNA and decreased upon TRF2 downregulation. Moreover, we showed that TRF2 and ORC2 interact in pericentromeric DNA, providing a mechanism by which TRF2 is involved in ORI activity. Altogether, our findings reveal an essential role for TRF2 in pericentromeric heterochromatin replication by regulating both replication initiation and elongation.

Delineation and modelling of a nucleolar retention signal in the coronavirus nucleocapsid protein.

Project description:Unlike nuclear localization signals, there is no obvious consensus sequence for the targeting of proteins to the nucleolus. The nucleolus is a dynamic subnuclear structure which is crucial to the normal operation of the eukaryotic cell. Studying nucleolar trafficking signals is problematic as many nucleolar retention signals (NoRSs) are part of classical nuclear localization signals (NLSs). In addition, there is no known consensus signal with which to inform a study. The avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), coronavirus nucleocapsid (N) protein, localizes to the cytoplasm and the nucleolus. Mutagenesis was used to delineate a novel eight amino acid motif that was necessary and sufficient for nucleolar retention of N protein and colocalize with nucleolin and fibrillarin. Additionally, a classical nuclear export signal (NES) functioned to direct N protein to the cytoplasm. Comparison of the coronavirus NoRSs with known cellular and other viral NoRSs revealed that these motifs have conserved arginine residues. Molecular modelling, using the solution structure of severe acute respiratory (SARS) coronavirus N-protein, revealed that this motif is available for interaction with cellular factors which may mediate nucleolar localization. We hypothesise that the N-protein uses these signals to traffic to and from the nucleolus and the cytoplasm.
