CDK9-mediated phosphorylation controls the interaction of TIP60 with the transcriptional machinery.

ABSTRACT: The acetyltransferase TIP60 is regulated by phosphorylation, and we have previously shown that phosphorylation of TIP60 on S86 by GSK-3 promotes p53-mediated induction of the BCL-2 protein PUMA. TIP60 phosphorylation by GSK-3 requires a priming phosphorylation on S90, and here, we identify CDK9 as a TIP60S90 kinase. We demonstrate that a phosphorylation-deficient mutant, TIP60S90A, exhibits reduced interaction with chromatin, histone 3 and RNA Pol II, while its association with the TIP60 complex subunit EPC1 is not affected. Consistently, we find a diminished association of TIP60S90A with the MYC gene. We show that cells expressing TIP60S90A, but also TIP60S86A, which retains S90 phosphorylation, exhibit reduced histone 4 acetylation and proliferation. Thus, our data indicate that, during transcription, phosphorylation of TIP60 at two sites has different regulatory effects on TIP60, whereby S90 phosphorylation controls association with the transcription machinery, and S86 phosphorylation is regulating TIP60 HAT activity.

RBPJ maintains brain tumor-initiating cells through CDK9-mediated transcriptional elongation.

Project description:Glioblastomas co-opt stem cell regulatory pathways to maintain brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs), also known as cancer stem cells. NOTCH signaling has been a molecular target in BTICs, but NOTCH antagonists have demonstrated limited efficacy in clinical trials. Recombining binding protein suppressor of hairless (RBPJ) is considered a central transcriptional mediator of NOTCH activity. Here, we report that pharmacologic NOTCH inhibitors were less effective than targeting RBPJ in suppressing tumor growth. While NOTCH inhibitors decreased canonical NOTCH gene expression, RBPJ regulated a distinct profile of genes critical to BTIC stemness and cell cycle progression. RBPJ was preferentially expressed by BTICs and required for BTIC self-renewal and tumor growth. MYC, a key BTIC regulator, bound the RBPJ promoter and treatment with a bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) family bromodomain inhibitor decreased MYC and RBPJ expression. Proteomic studies demonstrated that RBPJ binds CDK9, a component of positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), to target gene promoters, enhancing transcriptional elongation. Collectively, RBPJ links MYC and transcriptional control through CDK9, providing potential nodes of fragility for therapeutic intervention, potentially distinct from NOTCH.

Nrf1-mediated transcriptional regulation of the proteasome requires a functional TIP60 complex.

Project description:Inhibition of the proteasome leads to proteotoxic stress, which is characterized by the buildup of ubiquitinated proteins that cannot be degraded properly. The transcription factor Nrf1 (also called NFE2L1) counteracts proteotoxic stress by inducing transcription of proteasome subunit genes, resulting in the restoration of proteasome activity. Further understanding of the Nrf1 pathway is therefore of interest in both neurodegeneration, where proteasome activity could be enhanced, and cancer, where suppression of this pathway could potentiate the cell-killing effect mediated by proteasome inhibitor drugs. Here, to identify novel regulators of Nrf1, we performed an RNAi screen in an engineered cell line, reporting on Nrf1 transcriptional activity. In addition to validating known regulators, we discovered that the AAA+ ATPase RUVBL1 is necessary for Nrf1's transcriptional activity. Given that RUVBL1 is part of different multisubunit complexes that play key roles in transcription, we dissected this phenomenon further and found that the TIP60 chromatin-regulatory complex is essential for Nrf1-dependent transcription of proteasome genes. Consistent with these observations, Nrf1, RUVBL1, and TIP60 proteins were co-recruited to the promoter regions of proteasome genes after proteasome inhibitor treatments. More importantly, depletion of RUVBL1 or TIP60 in various cancer cells sensitized them to cell death induced by proteasome inhibition. Overall, our study provides a framework for manipulating the TIP60-Nrf1 axis to alter proteasome function in various human diseases, including cancer.

Glucocorticoid-induced phosphorylation by CDK9 modulates the coactivator functions of transcriptional cofactor GRIP1 in macrophages.

Project description:The glucocorticoid (GC) receptor (GR) suppresses inflammation by activating anti-inflammatory and repressing pro-inflammatory genes. GR-interacting protein-1 (GRIP1) is a GR corepressor in macrophages, however, whether GRIP1 mediates GR-activated transcription, and what dictates its coactivator versus corepressor properties is unknown. Here we report that GRIP1 loss in macrophages attenuates glucocorticoid induction of several anti-inflammatory targets, and that GC treatment of quiescent macrophages globally directs GRIP1 toward GR binding sites dominated by palindromic GC response elements (GRE), suggesting a non-redundant GRIP1 function as a GR coactivator. Interestingly, GRIP1 is phosphorylated at an N-terminal serine cluster by cyclin-dependent kinase-9 (CDK9), which is recruited into GC-induced GR:GRIP1:CDK9 hetero-complexes, producing distinct GRE-specific GRIP1 phospho-isoforms. Phosphorylation potentiates GRIP1 coactivator but, remarkably, not its corepressor properties. Consistently, phospho-GRIP1 and CDK9 are not detected at GR transrepression sites near pro-inflammatory genes. Thus, GR restricts actions of its own coregulator via CDK9-mediated phosphorylation to a subset of anti-inflammatory genes.

ARF2-PIF5 interaction controls transcriptional reprogramming in the ABS3-mediated plant senescence pathway

Project description:One of the hallmarks of plant senescence is the global transcriptional reprogramming coordinated by a plethora of transcription factors (TFs). However, mechanisms underlying the interactions between different TFs in modulating senescence remain obscure. Previously, we discovered that plant ABS3 subfamily MATE transporter genes regulate senescence and senescence-associated transcriptional changes. In a genetic screen for mutants suppressing the accelerated senescence phenotype of the gain-of-function mutant abs3-1D, AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 2 (ARF2) and PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 5 (PIF5) were identified as key TFs responsible for transcriptional regulation in the ABS3-mediated senescence pathway. ARF2 and PIF5 (as well as PIF4) interact directly and function interdependently to promote senescence, and they share common target genes such as key senescence promoting genes ORESARA 1 (ORE1) and STAY-GREEN 1 (SGR1) in the ABS3-mediated senescence pathway. In addition, we discovered reciprocal regulation between ABS3-subfamily MATEs and the ARF2 and PIF5/4 TFs. Taken together, our findings reveal a regulatory paradigm in which the ARF2-PIF5/4 functional module facilitates the transcriptional reprogramming in the ABS3-mediated senescence pathway.

CK1-mediated phosphorylation of FAM110A promotes its interaction with mitotic spindle and controls chromosomal alignment.

Project description:Progression through the cell cycle is driven by cyclin-dependent kinases that control gene expression, orchestration of mitotic spindle, and cell division. To identify new regulators of the cell cycle, we performed transcriptomic analysis of human non-transformed cells expressing a fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicator and identified 701 transcripts differentially expressed in G1 and G2 cells. Family with sequence similarity 110 member A (FAM110A) protein is highly expressed in G2 cells and localized at mitotic spindle and spindle poles during mitosis. Depletion of FAM110A impairs chromosomal alignment, delays metaphase-to-anaphase transition, and affects spindle positioning. Using mass spectrometry and immunoprecipitation, we identified casein kinase I (CK1) in complex with FAM110A during mitosis. CK1 phosphorylates the C-terminal domain of FAM110A in vitro, and inhibition of CK1 reduces phosphorylation of mitotic FAM110A. Wild-type FAM110A, but not the FAM110A-S252-S255A mutant deficient in CK1 phosphorylation, rescues the chromosomal alignment, duration of mitosis, and orientation of the mitotic spindle after depletion of endogenous FAM110A. We propose that CK1 regulates chromosomal alignment by phosphorylating FAM110A and promoting its interaction with mitotic spindle.

CSDE1 controls gene expression through the miRNA-mediated decay machinery.

Project description:In animals, miRNAs are the most prevalent small non-coding RNA molecules controlling posttranscriptional gene regulation. The Argonaute proteins (AGO) mediate miRNA-guided gene silencing by recruiting multiple factors involved in translational repression, deadenylation, and decapping. Here, we report that CSDE1, an RNA-binding protein linked to stem cell maintenance and metastasis in cancer, interacts with AGO2 within miRNA-induced silencing complex and mediates gene silencing through its N-terminal domains. We show that CSDE1 interacts with LSM14A, a constituent of P-body assembly and further associates to the DCP1-DCP2 decapping complex, suggesting that CSDE1 could promote the decay of miRNA-induced silencing complex-targeted mRNAs. Together, our findings uncover a hitherto unknown mechanism used by CSDE1 in the control of gene expression mediated by the miRNA pathway.

microRNA-mediated regulation of microRNA machinery controls cell fate decisions.

Project description:microRNAs associate with Argonaute proteins, forming the microRNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC), to repress target gene expression post-transcriptionally. Although microRNAs are critical regulators in mammalian cell differentiation, our understanding of how microRNA machinery, such as the miRISC, are regulated during development is still limited. We previously showed that repressing the production of one Argonaute protein, Ago2, by Trim71 is important for mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) self-renewal (Liu et al., 2021). Here, we show that among the four Argonaute proteins in mammals, Ago2 is the major developmentally regulated Argonaute protein in mESCs. Moreover, in pluripotency, besides the Trim71-mediated regulation of Ago2 (Liu et al., 2021), Mir182/Mir183 also repress Ago2. Specific inhibition of this microRNA-mediated repression results in stemness defects and accelerated differentiation through the let-7 microRNA pathway. These results reveal a microRNA-mediated regulatory circuit on microRNA machinery that is critical to maintaining pluripotency.

Phosphorylation of S11 in PHR1 negatively controls its transcriptional activity.

Project description:Plant responses to phosphate starvation (-Pi) are very well characterized at the biochemical and molecular levels. The expression of thousands of genes is modified under this stress condition, depending on the action of Phosphate starvation response 1 (PHR1). Existing data indicate that neither the PHR1 transcript nor the quantity or localization of its protein increase during nutrient stress, raising the question of how its activity is regulated. Here, we present data showing that SnRK1 kinase is able to phosphorylate some phosphate starvation response proteins (PSRs), including PHR1. Based on a model of the three-dimensional structure of the catalytic subunit SnRK1α1, docking simulations predicted the binding modes of peptides from PHT1;8, PHO1 and PHR1 with SnRK1. PHR1 recombinant protein interacted in vitro with the catalytic subunits SnRK1α1 and SnRK1α2. A BiFC assay corroborated the in vivo interaction between PHR1 and SnRK1α1 in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Analysis of phosphorylated residues suggested the presence of one phosphorylated site containing the SnRK1 motif at S11, and mutation in this residue disrupted the incorporation of 32 P, suggesting that it is a major phosphorylation site. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay results indicated that the binding of PHR1 to P1BS motifs was not influenced by phosphorylation. Importantly, transient expression assays in Arabidopsis protoplasts showed a decrease in PHR1 activity in contrast with the S11A mutant, suggesting a role for Ser11 as a negative regulatory phosphorylation site. Taken together, these findings suggest that phosphorylation of PHR1 at Ser11 is a mechanism to control the PHR1-mediated adaptive response to -Pi.

Regulation of CDK9 activity by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation.

Project description:HIV-1 transcription is regulated by CDK9/cyclin T1, which, unlike a typical cell cycle-dependent kinase, is regulated by associating with 7SK small nuclear ribonuclear protein complex (snRNP). While the protein components of this complex are well studied, the mechanism of the complex formation is still not fully understood. The association of CDK9/cyclin T1 with 7SK snRNP is, in part, regulated by a reversible CDK9 phosphorylation. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the kinases and phosphatases involved in CDK9 phosphorylation and discuss their role in regulation of HIV-1 replication and potential for being targeted for drug development. We propose a novel pathway of HIV-1 transcription regulation via CDK9 Ser-90 phosphorylation by CDK2 and CDK9 Ser-175 dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase-1.
