Biological consequences of structural and functional proteasome diversity.

ABSTRACT: Cell homeostasis and regulation of metabolic pathways are ensured by synthesis, proper folding and efficient degradation of a vast amount of proteins. Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) degrades most intracellular proteins and thus, participates in regulation of cellular metabolism. Within the UPS, proteasomes are the elements that perform substrate cleavage. However, the proteasomes in the organism are diverse. Structurally different proteasomes are present not only in different types of cells, but also in a single cell. The reason for proteasome heterogeneity is not fully understood. This review briefly encompasses mammalian proteasome structure and function, and discusses biological relevance of proteasome diversity for a range of important cellular functions including internal and external signaling.

Androgen receptor phosphorylation: biological context and functional consequences.

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-regulated transcription factor that belongs to the family of nuclear receptors. In addition to regulation by steroid, the AR is also regulated by post-translational modifications generated by signal transduction pathways. Thus, the AR functions not only as a transcription factor but also as a node that integrates multiple extracellular signals. The AR plays an important role in many diseases, including complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, spinal bulbar muscular atrophy, prostate and breast cancer, etc. In the case of prostate cancer, dependence on AR signaling has been exploited for therapeutic intervention for decades. However, the effectiveness of these therapies is limited in advanced disease due to restoration of AR signaling. Greater understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in AR action will enable the development of improved therapeutics to treat the wide range of AR-dependent diseases. The AR is subject to regulation by a number of kinases through post-translational modifications on serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues. In this paper, we review the AR phosphorylation sites, the kinases responsible for these phosphorylations, as well as the biological context and the functional consequences of these phosphorylations. Finally, what is known about the state of AR phosphorylation in clinical samples is discussed.

Structural and functional consequences of NEDD8 phosphorylation.

Project description:Ubiquitin (Ub) and Ub-like proteins (Ubls) such as NEDD8 are best known for their function as covalent modifiers of other proteins but they are also themselves subject to post-translational modifications including phosphorylation. While functions of phosphorylated Ub (pUb) have been characterized, the consequences of Ubl phosphorylation remain unclear. Here we report that NEDD8 can be phosphorylated at S65 - the same site as Ub - and that S65 phosphorylation affects the structural dynamics of NEDD8 and Ub in a similar manner. While both pUb and phosphorylated NEDD8 (pNEDD8) can allosterically activate the Ub ligase Parkin, they have different protein interactomes that in turn are distinct from those of unmodified Ub and NEDD8. Among the preferential pNEDD8 interactors are HSP70 family members and we show that pNEDD8 stimulates HSP70 ATPase activity more pronouncedly than unmodified NEDD8. Our findings highlight the general importance of Ub/NEDD8 phosphorylation and support the notion that the function of pUb/pNEDD8 does not require their covalent attachment to other proteins.

Chemistry and structural biology of DNA damage and biological consequences.

Project description:The formation of adducts by the reaction of chemicals with DNA is a critical step for the initiation of carcinogenesis. The structural analysis of various DNA adducts reveals that conformational and chemical rearrangements and interconversions are a common theme. Conformational changes are modulated both by the nature of adduct and the base sequences neighboring the lesion sites. Equilibria between conformational states may modulate both DNA repair and error-prone replication past these adducts. Likewise, chemical rearrangements of initially formed DNA adducts are also modulated both by the nature of adducts and the base sequences neighboring the lesion sites. In this review, we focus on DNA damage caused by a number of environmental and endogenous agents, and biological consequences.

Structural Changes, Biological Consequences, and Repurposing of Colchicine Site Ligands.

Project description:Microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) bind to one of several distinct sites in the tubulin dimer, the subunit of microtubules. The binding affinities of MTAs may vary by several orders of magnitude, even for MTAs that specifically bind to a particular site. The first drug binding site discovered in tubulin was the colchicine binding site (CBS), which has been known since the discovery of the tubulin protein. Although highly conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution, tubulins show diversity in their sequences between tubulin orthologs (inter-species sequence differences) and paralogs (intraspecies differences, such as tubulin isotypes). The CBS is promiscuous and binds to a broad range of structurally distinct molecules that can vary in size, shape, and affinity. This site remains a popular target for the development of new drugs to treat human diseases (including cancer) and parasitic infections in plants and animals. Despite the rich knowledge about the diversity of tubulin sequences and the structurally distinct molecules that bind to the CBS, a pattern has yet to be found to predict the affinity of new molecules that bind to the CBS. In this commentary, we briefly discuss the literature evidencing the coexistence of the varying binding affinities for drugs that bind to the CBS of tubulins from different species and within species. We also comment on the structural data that aim to explain the experimental differences observed in colchicine binding to the CBS of β-tubulin class VI (TUBB1) compared to other isotypes.

Structural basis and biological consequences for JNK2/3 isoform selective aminopyrazoles.

Project description:Three JNK isoforms, JNK1, JNK2, and JNK3 have been reported and unique biological function has been ascribed to each. It is unknown if selective inhibition of these isoforms would confer therapeutic or safety benefit. To probe JNK isoform function we designed JNK2/3 inhibitors that have >30-fold selectivity over JNK1. Utilizing site-directed mutagenesis and x-ray crystallography we identified L144 in JNK3 as a key residue for selectivity. To test whether JNK2/3 selective inhibitors protect human dopaminergic neurons against neurotoxin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, we monitored reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). The results showed that JNK2/3 selective inhibitors protected against 6-hydroxydopamine-induced ROS generation and MMP depolarization. These results suggest that it was possible to develop JNK2/3 selective inhibitors and that residues in hydrophobic pocket I were responsible for selectivity. Moreover, the findings also suggest that inhibition of JNK2/3 likely contributed to protecting mitochondrial function and prevented ultimate cell death.

Primate genome architecture linked with formation mechanisms and functional consequences of structural variation

Project description:While nucleotide-resolution maps of genomic structural variants (SVs) have provided insights into the origin and impact on phenotypic diversity in humans, comparable maps in nonhuman primates have thus far been lacking. Using massively parallel DNA sequencing we constructed fine-resolution, species-specific structural variation and segmental duplication maps for five chimpanzees, five orang-utans, and five rhesus macaques. The SV maps, comprising thousands of deletions, duplications, and mobile element insertions, revealed a high activity of retrotransposition in macaques. Non-allelic homologous recombination, linked with genomic architecture, primarily shaped the genomes of great apes resulting in different SV formation mechanism landscapes across species, with distinct functional consequences. Transcriptome analyses across nonhuman primates and humans revealed significant effects of species-specific gene duplications on gene expression, with these effects displaying remarkable diversity in direction and magnitude. Thirteen inter-species gene duplications coincided with the species-specific gain of expression in a new tissue, implicating these duplications in function acquisition. Agilent arrays were custom designed for probes to be relatively evenly spaced across the reference genomes of chimpanzee, orang-utan, and rhesus macaque. For each species 9 one million probe arrays were used to cover the autosomes and a single 400k probe array was used for the sex chromosomes.

Genetic Diversity Underlying the Envelope Glycoproteins of Hepatitis C Virus: Structural and Functional Consequences and the Implications for Vaccine Design.

Project description:In the 26 years since the discovery of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) a major global research effort has illuminated many aspects of the viral life cycle, facilitating the development of targeted antivirals. Recently, effective direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens with >90% cure rates have become available for treatment of chronic HCV infection in developed nations, representing a significant advance towards global eradication. However, the high cost of these treatments results in highly restricted access in developing nations, where the disease burden is greatest. Additionally, the largely asymptomatic nature of infection facilitates continued transmission in at risk groups and resource constrained settings due to limited surveillance. Consequently a prophylactic vaccine is much needed. The HCV envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 are located on the surface of viral lipid envelope, facilitate viral entry and are the targets for host immunity, in addition to other functions. Unfortunately, the extreme global genetic and antigenic diversity exhibited by the HCV glycoproteins represents a significant obstacle to vaccine development. Here we review current knowledge of HCV envelope protein structure, integrating knowledge of genetic, antigenic and functional diversity to inform rational immunogen design.

Chromosome as oncogenic organizer: functional consequences of structural mutations in breast cancer (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Chromosomal structural mutations play an important role in determining the transcriptional landscape of human breast cancers. To assess the nature of these structural mutations, we analyzed a representative sampling of the major types of breast tumor samples for detailed structural mutations using paired-end tag sequencing of long-insert genomic DNA (DNA-PET) with matched transcriptome ascertainment by RNA-seq. Compared with other structural mutations, tandem duplications are enriched around partners of fusion transcripts and demarcate regions of high gene expression. Moreover tandem duplications appear to be early events in tumor evolution by facilitating subsequent downstream amplification and deletion of important adjacent cancer associated genes. In a detailed reconstruction of events in chr17, we found large unpaired-inversions connect a duplicated ERBB2 with neighboring 17q21.3 amplicons while simultaneously deleting the intervening BRCA1 tumor suppressor locus. Using siRNAs in breast cancer cell lines, we showed that the 17q21.3 amplicon harbored a significant number of weak oncogenes that appeared consistently co-amplified in primary tumors. Down-regulation of BRCA1 expression augmented the cell proliferation in human normal mammary epithelial cells. Finally, using in silico approaches, we determined that genes whose expression in breast tumors are associated with either poor or good clinical prognosis appear clustered together in segments of frequent amplification or deletion, suggesting that structural abnormalities induce the loss or gain of blocks of adjacent genes with oncogenic or growth suppressor function. These analyses suggest that structural mutations efficiently orchestrate the gain and loss of cancer gene cassettes that engage many oncogenic pathways simultaneously.

Primate genome architecture influences structural variation mechanisms and functional consequences.

Project description:Although nucleotide resolution maps of genomic structural variants (SVs) have provided insights into the origin and impact of phenotypic diversity in humans, comparable maps in nonhuman primates have thus far been lacking. Using massively parallel DNA sequencing, we constructed fine-resolution genomic structural variation maps in five chimpanzees, five orang-utans, and five rhesus macaques. The SV maps, which are comprised of thousands of deletions, duplications, and mobile element insertions, revealed a high activity of retrotransposition in macaques compared with great apes. By comparison, nonallelic homologous recombination is specifically active in the great apes, which is correlated with architectural differences between the genomes of great apes and macaque. Transcriptome analyses across nonhuman primates and humans revealed effects of species-specific whole-gene duplication on gene expression. We identified 13 gene duplications coinciding with the species-specific gain of tissue-specific gene expression in keeping with a role of gene duplication in the promotion of diversification and the acquisition of unique functions. Differences in the present day activity of SV formation mechanisms that our study revealed may contribute to ongoing diversification and adaptation of great ape and Old World monkey lineages.

Proteasome complexes experience profound structural and functional rearrangements throughout mammalian spermatogenesis.

Project description:During spermatogenesis, spermatogonia undergo a series of mitotic and meiotic divisions on their path to spermatozoa. To achieve this, a succession of processes requiring high proteolytic activity are in part orchestrated by the proteasome. The spermatoproteasome (s20S) is specific to the developing gametes, in which the gamete-specific α4s subunit replaces the α4 isoform found in the constitutive proteasome (c20S). Although the s20S is conserved across species and was shown to be crucial for germ cell development, its mechanism, function, and structure remain incompletely characterized. Here, we used advanced mass spectrometry (MS) methods to map the composition of proteasome complexes and their interactomes throughout spermatogenesis. We observed that the s20S becomes highly activated as germ cells enter meiosis, mainly through a particularly extensive 19S activation and, to a lesser extent, PA200 binding. Additionally, the proteasome population shifts from c20S (98%) to s20S (>82 to 92%) during differentiation, presumably due to the shift from α4 to α4s expression. We demonstrated that s20S, but not c20S, interacts with components of the meiotic synaptonemal complex, where it may localize via association with the PI31 adaptor protein. In vitro, s20S preferentially binds to 19S and displays higher trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like activities, both with and without PA200 activation. Moreover, using MS methods to monitor protein dynamics, we identified significant differences in domain flexibility between α4 and α4s. We propose that these differences induced by α4s incorporation result in significant changes in the way the s20S interacts with its partners and dictate its role in germ cell differentiation.
