Phosphorylation switches protein disulfide isomerase activity to maintain proteostasis and attenuate ER stress.

ABSTRACT: Accumulated unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) to increase ER protein folding capacity. ER proteostasis and UPR signaling need to be regulated in a precise and timely manner. Here, we identify phosphorylation of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), one of the most abundant and critical folding catalysts in the ER, as an early event during ER stress. The secretory pathway kinase Fam20C phosphorylates Ser357 of PDI and responds rapidly to various ER stressors. Phosphorylation of Ser357 induces an open conformation of PDI and turns it from a "foldase" into a "holdase", which is critical for preventing protein misfolding in the ER. Phosphorylated PDI also binds to the lumenal domain of IRE1α, a major UPR signal transducer, and attenuates excessive IRE1α activity. Importantly, PDI-S359A knock-in mice display enhanced IRE1α activation and liver damage under acute ER stress. We conclude that the Fam20C-PDI axis constitutes a post-translational response to maintain ER proteostasis and plays a vital role in protecting against ER stress-induced cell death.

Phosphorylation switches protein disulfide isomerase activity to maintain proteostasis and attenuate ER stress

Project description:Accumulated unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) to increase ER protein-folding capacity.

Phosphorylation of Ser357 induces an open conformation of PDI and turns it from a 'foldase' into a 'holdase', which is critical for preventing protein misfolding in the ER. Phosphorylated PDI also binds to the luminal domain of IRE1?, a major UPR signal transducer, and attenuates excessive IRE1? activity. Importantly, Pdi-S359A knock-in mice display enhanced IRE1? activation and liver damage under acute ER stress. We conclude that the Fam20C-PDI axis constitutes a post-translational response to maintain ER proteostasis and plays a vital role in protecting against ER stress-induced cell death.

Sulfenylation links oxidative stress to protein disulfide isomerase oxidase activity and thrombus formation.

Project description:BackgroundOxidative stress contributes to thrombosis in atherosclerosis, inflammation, infection, aging, and malignancy. Oxidant-induced cysteine modifications, including sulfenylation, can act as a redox-sensitive switch that controls protein function. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a prothrombotic enzyme with exquisitely redox-sensitive active-site cysteines.ObjectivesWe hypothesized that PDI is sulfenylated during oxidative stress, contributing to the prothrombotic potential of PDI.MethodsBiochemical and enzymatic assays using purified proteins, platelet and endothelial cell assays, and in vivo murine thrombosis studies were used to evaluate the role of oxidative stress in PDI sulfenylation and prothrombotic activity.ResultsPDI exposure to oxidants resulted in the loss of PDI reductase activity and simultaneously promoted sulfenylated PDI generation. Following exposure to oxidants, sulfenylated PDI spontaneously converted to disulfided PDI. PDI oxidized in this manner was able to transfer disulfides to protein substrates. Inhibition of sulfenylation impaired disulfide formation by oxidants, indicating that sulfenylation is an intermediate during PDI oxidation. Agonist-induced activation of platelets and endothelium resulted in the release of sulfenylated PDI. PDI was also sulfenylated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). In an in vivo model of thrombus formation, oxLDL markedly promoted platelet accumulation following an arteriolar injury. PDI oxidoreductase inhibition blocked oxLDL-mediated augmentation of thrombosis.ConclusionPDI sulfenylation is a critical posttranslational modification that is an intermediate during disulfide PDI formation in the setting of oxidative stress. Oxidants generated by vascular cells during activation promote PDI sulfenylation, and interference with PDI during oxidative stress impairs thrombus formation.

BOK controls ER proteostasis and physiological ER stress responses in neurons.

Project description:The Bcl-2 family proteins BAK and BAX control the crucial step of pore formation in the mitochondrial outer membrane during intrinsic apoptosis. Bcl-2-related ovarian killer (BOK) is a Bcl-2 family protein with a high sequence similarity to BAK and BAX. However, intrinsic apoptosis can proceed in the absence of BOK. Unlike BAK and BAX, BOK is primarily located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi membranes, suggesting a role for BOK in regulating ER homeostasis. In this study, we report that BOK is required for a full ER stress response. Employing previously characterized fluorescent protein-based ER stress reporter cell systems, we show that BOK-deficient cells have an attenuated response to ER stress in all three signaling branches of the unfolded protein response. Fluo-4-based confocal Ca2+ imaging revealed that disruption of ER proteostasis in BOK-deficient cells was not linked to altered ER Ca2+ levels. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments using GRP78/BiP-eGFP demonstrated that GRP78 motility was significantly lower in BOK-deficient cells. This implied that less intraluminal GRP78 was freely available and more of the ER chaperone bound to unfolded proteins. Collectively, these experiments suggest a new role for BOK in the protection of ER proteostasis and cellular responses to ER stress.

Conserved Residues Lys57 and Lys401 of Protein Disulfide Isomerase Maintain an Active Site Conformation for Optimal Activity: Implications for Post-Translational Regulation.

Project description:Despite its study since the 1960's, very little is known about the post-translational regulation of the multiple catalytic activities performed by protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), the primary protein folding catalyst of the cell. This work identifies a functional role for the highly conserved CxxC-flanking residues Lys57 and Lys401 of human PDI in vitro. Mutagenesis studies have revealed these residues as modulating the oxidoreductase activity of PDI in a pH-dependent manner. Non-conservative amino acid substitutions resulted in enzyme variants upwards of 7-fold less efficient. This attenuated activity was found to translate into a 2-fold reduction of the rate of electron shuttling between PDI and the intraluminal endoplasmic reticulum oxidase, ERO1α, suggesting a functional significance to oxidative protein folding. In light of this, the possibility of lysine acetylation at residues Lys57 and Lys401 was assessed by in vitro treatment using acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). A total of 28 acetyllysine residues were identified, including acLys57 and acLys401. The kinetic behavior of the acetylated protein form nearly mimicked that obtained with a K57/401Q double substitution variant providing an indication that acetylation of the active site-flanking lysine residues can act to reversibly modulate PDI activity.

Differential activity of rice protein disulfide isomerase family members for disulfide bond formation and reduction.

Project description:Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs), a family of thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases that are ubiquitous in all eukaryotes, are the principal catalysts for disulfide bond formation. Here, we investigated three rice (Oryza sativa) PDI family members (PDIL1;1, PDIL1;4, and PDIL2;3) and found that PDIL1;1 exhibited the highest catalytic activity for both disulfide bond formation and disulfide bond reduction. The activity of PDIL1;1-catalyzed disulfide bond reduction, in which two redox-active sites were involved, was enhanced by increasing the glutathione concentration. These results suggest that PDIL1;1 plays primary roles in both disulfide bond formation and disulfide bond reduction, which allow for redox control of protein quality and packaging.

Protein disulfide isomerase-associated 6 is an ATF6-inducible ER stress response protein that protects cardiac myocytes from ischemia/reperfusion-mediated cell death.

Project description:Proper folding of secreted and transmembrane proteins made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) requires oxygen for disulfide bond formation. Accordingly, ischemia can impair ER protein folding and initiate the ER stress response, which we previously showed is activated in the ischemic heart and in culture cardiac myocytes subjected to simulated ischemia. ER stress and ischemia activate the transcription factor, activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), which induces numerous genes, many of which have not been identified, or examined in the heart. Using an ATF6 transgenic mouse model, we previously showed that ATF6 protected the heart from ischemic damage; however, the mechanism of this protection remains to be determined. In this study, we showed that, in the mouse heart, and in cultured cardiac myocytes, ATF6 induced the protein disulfide isomerase associated 6 (PDIA6) gene, which encodes an ER enzyme that catalyzes protein disulfide bond formation. Moreover, in cultured cardiac myocytes, ER stress-mediated PDIA6 promoter activation was ATF6-dependent, and required an ER stress response element (ERSE) and a nearby CCAAT box element. Electromobility shift assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that ATF6 bound to the ERSE in the PDIA6 promoter, in vitro, and in the mouse heart, in vivo. Gain- and loss-of-function studies showed that PDIA6 protected cardiac myocytes against simulated ischemia/reperfusion-induced death in a manner that was dependent on the catalytic activity of PDIA6. Thus, by facilitating disulfide bond formation, and enhanced ER protein folding, PDIA6 may contribute to the protective effects of ATF6 in the ischemic mouse heart.

Human ER Oxidoreductin-1α (Ero1α) Undergoes Dual Regulation through Complementary Redox Interactions with Protein-Disulfide Isomerase.

Project description:In the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum, oxidoreductin-1α (Ero1α) generates protein disulfide bonds and transfers them specifically to canonical protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) to sustain oxidative protein folding. This oxidative process is coupled to the reduction of O2 to H2O2 on the bound flavin adenine dinucleotide cofactor. Because excessive thiol oxidation and H2O2 generation cause cell death, Ero1α activity must be properly regulated. In addition to the four catalytic cysteines (Cys94, Cys99, Cys104, and Cys131) that are located in the flexible active site region, the Cys208-Cys241 pair located at the base of another flexible loop is necessary for Ero1α regulation, although the mechanistic basis is not fully understood. The present study revealed that the Cys208-Cys241 disulfide was reduced by PDI and other PDI family members during PDI oxidation. Differential scanning calorimetry and small angle X-ray scattering showed that mutation of Cys208 and Cys241 did not grossly affect the thermal stability or overall shape of Ero1α, suggesting that redox regulation of this cysteine pair serves a functional role. Moreover, the flexible loop flanked by Cys208 and Cys241 provides a platform for functional interaction with PDI, which in turn enhances the oxidative activity of Ero1α through reduction of the Cys208-Cys241 disulfide. We propose a mechanism of dual Ero1α regulation by dynamic redox interactions between PDI and the two Ero1α flexible loops that harbor the regulatory cysteines.

Distinct role of ERp57 and ERdj5 as a disulfide isomerase and reductase during ER protein folding.

Project description:Proteins entering the secretory pathway need to attain native disulfide pairings to fold correctly. For proteins with complex disulfides, this process requires the reduction and isomerisation of non-native disulfides. Two key members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family, ERp57 and ERdj5 (also known as PDIA3 and DNAJC10, respectively), are thought to be required for correct disulfide formation but it is unknown whether they act as a reductase, an isomerase or both. In addition, it is unclear how reducing equivalents are channelled through PDI family members to substrate proteins. Here, we show that neither enzyme is required for disulfide formation, but ERp57 is required for isomerisation of non-native disulfides within glycoproteins. In addition, alternative PDIs compensate for the absence of ERp57 to isomerise glycoprotein disulfides, but only in the presence of a robust reductive pathway. ERdj5 is required for this alternative pathway to function efficiently indicating its role as a reductase. Our results define the essential cellular functions of two PDIs, highlighting a distinction between formation, reduction and isomerisation of disulfide bonds.

QRICH1 dictates the outcome of ER stress through transcriptional control of proteostasis.

Project description:Tissue homeostasis is perturbed in a diversity of inflammatory pathologies. These changes can elicit endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, protein misfolding, and cell death. ER stress triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), which can promote recovery of ER proteostasis and cell survival or trigger programmed cell death. Here, we leveraged single-cell RNA sequencing to define dynamic transcriptional states associated with the adaptive versus terminal UPR in the mouse intestinal epithelium. We integrated these transcriptional programs with genome-scale CRISPR screening to dissect the UPR pathway functionally. We identified QRICH1 as a key effector of the PERK-eIF2α axis of the UPR. QRICH1 controlled a transcriptional program associated with translation and secretory networks that were specifically up-regulated in inflammatory pathologies. Thus, QRICH1 dictates cell fate in response to pathological ER stress.
