LRBA in the endomembrane system.

ABSTRACT: Bi-allelic mutations in LRBA (from Lipopolysaccharide-responsive and beige-like anchor protein) result in a primary immunodeficiency with clinical features ranging from hypogammaglobulinemia and lymphoproliferative syndrome to inflammatory bowel disease and heterogeneous autoimmune manifestations. LRBA deficiency has been shown to affect vesicular trafficking, autophagy and apoptosis, which may lead to alterations of several molecules and processes that play key roles for immunity. In this review, we will discuss the relationship of LRBA with the endovesicular system in the context of receptor trafficking, autophagy and apoptosis. Since these mechanisms of homeostasis are inherent to all living cells and not only limited to the immune system and also, because they are involved in physiological as well as pathological processes such as embryogenesis or tumoral transformation, we envisage advancing in the identification of potential pharmacological agents to manipulate these processes.

Budding Yeast Has a Minimal Endomembrane System.

Project description:The endomembrane system consists of the secretory and endocytic pathways, which communicate by transport to and from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). In mammalian cells, the endocytic pathway includes early, late, and recycling endosomes. In budding yeast, different types of endosomes have been described, but the organization of the endocytic pathway has remained unclear. We performed a spatial and temporal analysis of yeast endosomal markers and endocytic cargoes. Our results indicate that the yeast TGN also serves as an early and recycling endosome. In addition, as previously described, yeast contains a late or prevacuolar endosome (PVE). Endocytic cargoes localize to the TGN shortly after internalization, and manipulations that perturb export from the TGN can slow the passage of endocytic cargoes to the PVE. Yeast apparently lacks a distinct early endosome. Thus, yeast has a simple endocytic pathway that may reflect the ancestral organization of the endomembrane system.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of bacteria with a complex endomembrane system.

Project description:The division of cellular space into functionally distinct membrane-defined compartments has been one of the major transitions in the history of life. Such compartmentalization has been claimed to occur in members of the Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobiae, and Chlamydiae bacterial superphylum. Here we have investigated the three-dimensional organization of the complex endomembrane system in the planctomycete bacteria Gemmata obscuriglobus. We reveal that the G. obscuriglobus cells are neither compartmentalized nor nucleated as none of the spaces created by the membrane invaginations are closed; instead, they are all interconnected. Thus, the membrane organization of G. obscuriglobus, and most likely all PVC members, is not different from, but an extension of, the "classical" Gram-negative bacterial membrane system. Our results have implications for our definition and understanding of bacterial cell organization, the genesis of complex structure, and the origin of the eukaryotic endomembrane system.

Sculpting the endomembrane system in deep time: high resolution phylogenetics of Rab GTPases.

Project description:The presence of a nucleus and other membrane-bounded intracellular compartments is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells. Endosymbiosis accounts for the origins of mitochondria and plastids, but the evolutionary ancestry of the remaining cellular compartments is incompletely documented. Resolving the evolutionary history of organelle-identity encoding proteins within the endomembrane system is a necessity for unravelling the origins and diversification of the endogenously derived organelles. Comparative genomics reveals events after the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA), but resolution of events prior to LECA, and a full account of the intracellular compartments present in LECA, has proved elusive. We have devised and exploited a new phylogenetic strategy to reconstruct the history of the Rab GTPases, a key family of endomembrane-specificity proteins. Strikingly, we infer a remarkably sophisticated organellar composition for LECA, which we predict possessed as many as 23 Rab GTPases. This repertoire is significantly greater than that present in many modern organisms and unexpectedly indicates a major role for secondary loss in the evolutionary diversification of the endomembrane system. We have identified two Rab paralogues of unknown function but wide distribution, and thus presumably ancient nature; RabTitan and RTW. Furthermore, we show that many Rab paralogues emerged relatively suddenly during early metazoan evolution, which is in stark contrast to the lack of significant Rab family expansions at the onset of most other major eukaryotic groups. Finally, we reconstruct higher-order ancestral clades of Rabs primarily linked with endocytic and exocytic process, suggesting the presence of primordial Rabs associated with the establishment of those pathways and giving the deepest glimpse to date into pre-LECA history of the endomembrane system.

Kinetoplastid PPEF phosphatases: dual acylated proteins expressed in the endomembrane system of Leishmania.

Project description:Bioinformatic analyses have been used to identify potential downstream targets of the essential enzyme N-myristoyl transferase in the TriTryp species, Leishmania major, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi. These database searches predict approximately 60 putative N-myristoylated proteins with high confidence, including both previously characterised and novel molecules. One of the latter is an N-myristoylated protein phosphatase which has high sequence similarity to the Protein Phosphatase with EF-Hand (PPEF) proteins identified in sensory cells of higher eukaryotes. In L. major and T. brucei, the PPEF-like phosphatases are encoded by single-copy genes and are constitutively expressed in all parasite life cycle stages. The N-terminus of LmPPEF is a substrate for N-myristoyl transferase and is also palmitoylated in vivo. The wild type protein has been localised to the endocytic system by immunofluorescence. The catalytic and fused C-terminal domains of the kinetoplastid and other eukaryotic PPEFs share high sequence similarity, but unlike their higher eukaryotic relatives, the C-terminal parasite EF-hand domains are degenerate and do not bind calcium.

Homology and Modular Evolution of CATCHR at the Origin of the Eukaryotic Endomembrane System.

Project description:The membrane trafficking is an essential process of eukaryotic cells, as it manages vesicular trafficking toward different parts of the cell. In this process, membrane fusions between vesicles and target membranes are mediated by several factors, including the multisubunit tethering complexes. One type of multisubunit tethering complex, the complexes associated with tethering containing helical rods (CATCHR), encompasses the exocyst, COG, GARP, and DSL1 complexes. The CATCHR share similarities at sequence, structural, and protein-complex organization level although their actual relationship is still poorly understood. In this study, we have re-evaluated CATCHR at different levels, demonstrating that gene duplications followed by neofunctionalization, were key for their origin. Our results, reveals that there are specific homology relationships and parallelism within and between the CATCHR suggesting that most of these complexes are composed by modular tetramers of four different kinds of proteins, three of them having a clear common origin. The extension of CATCHR family occurred concomitantly with the protein family expansions of their molecular partners, such as small GTPases and SNAREs, among others, and likely providing functional specificity. Our results provide novel insights into the structural organization and mechanism of action of CATCHR, with implications for the evolution of the endomembrane system of eukaryotes and promoting CATCHR as ideal candidates to study the evolution of multiprotein complexes.

Localization of small heat shock proteins to the higher plant endomembrane system.

Project description:Three related gene families of low-molecular-weight (LMW) heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been characterized in plants. We describe a fourth LMW HSP family, represented by PsHSP22.7 from Pisum sativum and GmHSP22.0 from Glycine max, and demonstrate that this family of proteins is endomembrane localized. PsHSP22.7 and GmHSP22.0 are 76.7% identical at the amino acid level. Both proteins have amino-terminal signal peptides and carboxyl-terminal sequences characteristic of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention signals. The two proteins closely resemble class I cytoplasmic LMW HSPs, suggesting that they evolved from the cytoplasmic proteins through the addition of the signal peptide and ER retention motif. The endomembrane localization of these proteins was confirmed by cell fractionation. The polypeptide product of PsHSP22.7 mRNA was processed to a smaller-M(r) form by canine pancreatic microsomes; in vivo, GmHSP22.0 polysomal mRNA was found to be predominantly membrane bound. In vitro-processed PsHSP22.7 corresponded in mass and pI to one of two proteins detected in ER fractions from heat-stressed plants by using anti-PsHSP22.7 antibodies. Like other LMW HSPs, PsHSP22.7 was observed in higher-molecular-weight structures with apparent masses of between 80 and 240 kDa. The results reported here indicate that members of this new class of LMW HSPs are most likely resident ER proteins and may be similar in function to related LMW HSPs in the cytoplasm. Along with the HSP90 and HSP70 classes of HSPs, this is the third category of HSPs localized to the ER.

Alternative 3’UTRs play a widespread role in mRNA association with the endomembrane system

Project description:Transcripts encoding membrane and secreted proteins are known to have translation on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through the signal recognition particle (SRP)-mediated mechanism. Translation-independent association of mRNAs with ER has also been reported, but poorly understood. Here, using 3’ end sequencing, we examine transcripts associated with polysomes on ER in mouse C2C12 cells. We identify transcript features that facilitate translation-independent ER association, including CDS size, 3’UTR size, and GC content. Interestingly, transcripts encoding nuclear proteins tend to have a higher ER association potential than other transcripts, suggesting localized translation to facilitate nuclear import. We show long 3’UTR isoforms are generally more likely to be associated with ER than short isoforms. Consistently, global shortening of 3’UTRs by knocking down CFI-25 expression leads to substantial alternation of mRNA association with ER. While ER association potentials of transcripts undifferentiated myoblasts are similar to those in differentiated myotubes, 3’UTR lengthening in differentiation leads to more transcripts associated with ER in myotubes. Moreover, translation-independent ER association correlates with low mRNA stability, which is exacerbated in cells with oxidative stress. Together, our data indicate that sequence and structure features of mRNAs facilitate ER association and translation, potentially impacting localization dynamics of protein products, and cellular stress remodels membrane-associated transcripts through mRNA stability regulation.

Data set for the proteomics analysis of the endomembrane system from the unicellular Entamoeba histolytica.

Project description:Entamoeba histolytica is the protozoan parasite agent of amebiasis, an infectious disease of the human intestine and liver. This parasite contact and kills human cells by an active process involving pathogenic factors. Cellular traffic and secretion activities are poorly characterized in E. histolytica. In this work, we took advantage of a wide proteomic analysis to search for principal components of the endomembrane system in E. histolytica. A total of 5683 peptides matching with 1531 proteins (FDR of 1%) were identified which corresponds to roughly 20% of the total amebic proteome. Bioinformatics investigations searching for domain homologies (Smart and InterProScan programs) and functional descriptions (KEGG and GO terms) allowed this data to be organized into distinct categories. This data represents the first in-depth proteomics analysis of subcellular compartments in E. histolytica and allows a detailed map of vesicle traffic components in an ancient single-cell organism that lacks a stereotypical ER and Golgi apparatus to be established. The data are related to [1].

Caryolan-1-ol, an antifungal volatile produced by Streptomyces spp., inhibits the endomembrane system of fungi.

Project description:Streptomyces spp. have the ability to produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites that interact with the environment. This study aimed to discover antifungal volatiles from the genus Streptomyces and to determine the mechanisms of inhibition. Volatiles identified from Streptomyces spp. included three major terpenes, geosmin, caryolan-1-ol and an unknown sesquiterpene. antiSMASH and KEGG predicted that the volatile terpene synthase gene clusters occur in the Streptomyces genome. Growth inhibition was observed when fungi were exposed to the volatiles. Biological activity of caryolan-1-ol has previously not been investigated. Fungal growth was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by a mixture of the main volatiles, caryolan-1-ol and the unknown sesquiterpene, from Streptomyces sp. S4-7. Furthermore, synthesized caryolan-1-ol showed similar antifungal activity. Results of chemical-genomics profiling assays showed that caryolan-1-ol affected the endomembrane system by disrupting sphingolipid synthesis and normal vesicle trafficking in the fungi.

Localization of methyltransferase activities throughout the endomembrane system of flax (Linum usitatissimum L) hypocotyls.

Project description:A microsomal fraction from flax hypocotyls (Linum usitatissimum L) showed a methylation ability from S-adenosyl-methionine on to the cell wall polysaccharides. Two kinds of methylation were found: (i) a methyl esterification of uronic acids in the oxalate extracts and (ii) an O-methylation of the hydroxyl groups in the NaOH extracts. The methyltransferase study showed a rapid decrease of the methyl esterification abilities, whereas the O-methylation on to the hydroxyl groups was maintained throughout the culture duration. The localization of such activities in the flax endomembrane system was performed using isopycnic centrifugation. Enzymic marker tests allowed us to identify the different membrane types. Methyltransferase activities in the different enriched fractions appeared to be associated with the Golgi apparatus for the O-methylation, and with the plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum compartments for the carboxymethyl esterification.
