RAB7A phosphorylation by TBK1 promotes mitophagy via the PINK-PARKIN pathway.

ABSTRACT: Removal of damaged mitochondria is orchestrated by a pathway involving the PINK1 kinase and the PARKIN ubiquitin ligase. Ubiquitin chains assembled by PARKIN on the mitochondrial outer membrane recruit autophagy cargo receptors in complexes with TBK1 protein kinase. While TBK1 is known to phosphorylate cargo receptors to promote ubiquitin binding, it is unknown whether TBK1 phosphorylates other proteins to promote mitophagy. Using global quantitative proteomics, we identified S72 in RAB7A, a RAB previously linked with mitophagy, as a dynamic target of TBK1 upon mitochondrial depolarization. TBK1 directly phosphorylates RAB7AS72, but not several other RABs known to be phosphorylated on the homologous residue by LRRK2, in vitro, and this modification requires PARKIN activity in vivo. Interaction proteomics using nonphosphorylatable and phosphomimetic RAB7A mutants revealed loss of association of RAB7AS72E with RAB GDP dissociation inhibitor and increased association with the DENN domain-containing heterodimer FLCN-FNIP1. FLCN-FNIP1 is recruited to damaged mitochondria, and this process is inhibited in cells expressing RAB7AS72A. Moreover, nonphosphorylatable RAB7A failed to support efficient mitophagy, as well as recruitment of ATG9A-positive vesicles to damaged mitochondria. These data reveal a novel function for TBK1 in mitophagy, which parallels that of LRRK2-mediated phosphorylation of the homologous site in distinct RABs to control membrane trafficking.

Project description:BackgroundTo study the protective effect of berberine (BBR) on cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and its effect on mitophagy.Methods(I) Male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into control group (saline), cisplatin group (cisplatin), and cisplatin + BBR (5, 10 mg/kg) groups. In the cisplatin group and BBR groups, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 15 mg/kg of cisplatin. Mice in BBR groups were given BBR at 72, 48, 24, 0.5 h before and 24, 48 h after cisplatin injection. Mice were sacrificed 72 h after cisplatin injection, and blood were collected for detecting serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Kidneys were collected for detecting protein expression levels of Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), LC3 II/LC3 I, p62, PINK 1, Parkin in the renal tissue by Western blotting. The pathological changes in renal tissues were observed using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. (II) Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) were pretreated with different concentrations (1, 2, and 4 µM) of BBR, and then incubated with cisplatin. Changes in autophagy proteins LC3 II/LC3 I, p62, PINK 1, and Parkin were detected by Western blotting, and changes in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were detected by flow cytometry.Results(I) Mice treated with BBR at dosage of 5 and 10 mg/kg for 6 days showed significant reduction in SCr and BUN compared to that in mice treated with cisplatin. PAS staining and immunohistochemistry showed that BBR ameliorated cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and reduced cisplatin-induced increase in protein expression levels of KIM-1. Compared to cisplatin-treated mice, the mice treated with BBR showed increased LC3 II/LC3 I, PINK 1, and Parkin, and decreased p62 protein expression. (II) Compared to cisplatin-incubated RTECs, cells pretreated with BBR for 24 h exhibited increased protein expressions of LC3 II/LC3 I, PINK1, and Parkin and decreased protein expression of p62. BBR reversed cellular ROS and cell MMP level induced by cisplatin.ConclusionsBBR plays a protective role in cisplatin-induced AKI by up-regulating mitophagy in RTECs.
