Arabidopsis GAAP1 and GAAP3 Modulate the Unfolded Protein Response and the Onset of Cell Death in Response to ER Stress.

ABSTRACT: The function of human Golgi antiapoptotic proteins (GAAPs) resembles that of BAX inhibitor-1, with apoptosis inhibition triggered by intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli. However, little is known about the function of GAAP-related proteins in plants. Here, we studied Arabidopsis GAAP1 and GAAP3 and found that they were localized on the cellular membrane, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. The function of GAAP1/GAAP3 in ER-stress response was tested, and results showed that single or double mutation in GAAP1 and GAAP3 reduced plant survival and enhanced cell death under ER stress. The expression of both genes was induced by various abiotic stress signals. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that GAAP1/GAAP3 level affected the expression pattern of the unfolded-protein response (UPR) signaling pathway genes upon prolonged ER stress. The mutation in both GAAP1 and GAAP3 genes promoted and enhanced UPR signaling when confronted with mild ER stress. Moreover, GAAP1/GAAP3 inhibited cell death caused by ER stress and promoted plant-growth recovery by turning down inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) signaling after ER stress had been relieved. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-Ip) and BiFC assays showed that GAAP1/GAAP3 interacted with IRE1. These data suggested that GAAP1/GAAP3 played dual roles in the negative regulation of IRE1 activity and anti-programmed cell death.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the cellular organelle responsible for protein folding and assembly, lipid and sterol biosynthesis, and calcium storage. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive intracellular stress response to accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER. In this study, we show that the most conserved UPR sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1 ? (IRE1?), an ER transmembrane protein kinase/endoribonuclease, is required to maintain hepatic lipid homeostasis under ER stress conditions through repressing hepatic lipid accumulation and maintaining lipoprotein secretion. To elucidate physiological roles of IRE1?-mediated signalling in the liver, we generated hepatocyte-specific Ire1?-null mice by utilizing an albumin promoter-controlled Cre recombinase-mediated deletion. Deletion of Ire1? caused defective induction of genes encoding functions in ER-to-Golgi protein transport, oxidative protein folding, and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded proteins, and led to selective induction of pro-apoptotic UPR trans-activators. We show that IRE1? is required to maintain the secretion efficiency of selective proteins. In the absence of ER stress, mice with hepatocyte-specific Ire1? deletion displayed modest hepatosteatosis that became profound after induction of ER stress. Further investigation revealed that IRE1? represses expression of key metabolic transcriptional regulators, including CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) ?, C/EBP?, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?), and enzymes involved in triglyceride biosynthesis. IRE1? was also found to be required for efficient secretion of apolipoproteins upon disruption of ER homeostasis. Consistent with a role for IRE1? in preventing intracellular lipid accumulation, mice with hepatocyte-specific deletion of Ire1? developed severe hepatic steatosis after treatment with an ER stress-inducing anti-cancer drug Bortezomib, upon expression of a misfolding-prone human blood clotting factor VIII, or after partial hepatectomy. The identification of IRE1? as a key regulator to prevent hepatic steatosis provides novel insights into ER stress mechanisms in fatty liver diseases associated with toxic liver injuries.
