Lysine acetylation regulates the RNA binding, subcellular localization and inclusion formation of FUS.

ABSTRACT: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the preferential death of motor neurons. Approximately 10% of ALS cases are familial and 90% are sporadic. Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a ubiquitously expressed RNA-binding protein implicated in familial ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The physiological function and pathological mechanism of FUS are not well understood, particularly whether post-translational modifications play a role in regulating FUS function. In this study, we discovered that FUS was acetylated at lysine-315/316 (K315/K316) and lysine-510 (K510) residues in two distinct domains. Located in the nuclear localization sequence, K510 acetylation disrupted the interaction between FUS and Transportin-1, resulting in the mislocalization of FUS in the cytoplasm and formation of stress granule-like inclusions. Located in the RNA recognition motif, K315/K316 acetylation reduced RNA binding to FUS and decreased the formation of cytoplasmic inclusions. Treatment with deacetylase inhibitors also significantly reduced the inclusion formation in cells expressing ALS mutation P525L. More interestingly, familial ALS patient fibroblasts showed higher levels of FUS K510 acetylation as compared with healthy controls. Lastly, CREB-binding protein/p300 acetylated FUS, whereas both sirtuins and histone deacetylases families of lysine deacetylases contributed to FUS deacetylation. These findings demonstrate that FUS acetylation regulates the RNA binding, subcellular localization and inclusion formation of FUS, implicating a potential role of acetylation in the pathophysiological process leading to FUS-mediated ALS/FTD.

Acetylation of NDPK-D Regulates Its Subcellular Localization and Cell Survival.

Project description:Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPK) are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the reversible phosphotransfer of γ-phosphates between di- and triphosphonucleosides. NDPK-D (Nm23-H4) is the only member of the NDPK family with a mitochondrial targeting sequence. Despite the high expression of NDPK-D in the developing central nervous system, its function remains to be determined. In this study, we show that NDPK-D knockdown induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells as well as in mouse cortex, suggesting that NDPK-D is required for neuronal survival. We identified NDPK-D as a binding partner of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase, SIRT1, by yeast two-hybrid screening. NDPK-D co-localized with SIRT1, and the association of these molecules was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation. Inhibition of SIRT1 increases the acetylation of NDPK-D. Overexpression of NDPK-D along with SIRT1, or mutation in the acetylated lysine residues in NDPK-D, increases its nuclear accumulation. Furthermore, the NDPK-D acetylation-mimic mutant increased apoptosis in N1E-115 cells. Our data demonstrate that acetylation regulates the shuttling of NDPK-D between nucleus and cytoplasm, and increased acetylation of NDPK-D causes apoptosis.

The Acetylation of Lysine-376 of G3BP1 Regulates RNA Binding and Stress Granule Dynamics.

Project description:Stress granules (SGs) are ribonucleoprotein aggregates that form in response to stress conditions. The regulation of SG dynamics is not fully understood. Permanent pathological SG-like structures were reported in neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding protein G3BP1 is a central regulator of SG dynamics. We found that the lysine 376 residue (K376) of G3BP1, which is in the RRM RNA binding domain, was acetylated. Consequently, G3BP1 RNA binding was impaired by K376 acetylation. In addition, the acetylation-mimicking mutation K376Q impaired the RNA-dependent interaction of G3BP1 with poly(A)-binding protein 1 (PABP1), but its RNA-independent interactions with caprin-1 and USP10 were little affected. The formation of G3BP1 SGs depended on G3BP1 RNA binding; thus, replacement of endogenous G3BP1 with the K376Q mutant or the RNA binding-deficient F380L/F382L mutant interfered with SG formation. Significant G3BP1 K376 acetylation was detected during SG resolution, and K376-acetylated G3BP1 was seen outside SGs. G3BP1 acetylation is regulated by histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) and CBP/p300. Our data suggest that the acetylation of G3BP1 facilitates the disassembly of SGs, offering a potential avenue to mitigate hyperactive stress responses under pathological conditions.

The glycine arginine-rich domain of the RNA-binding protein nucleolin regulates its subcellular localization.

Project description:Nucleolin is a multifunctional RNA Binding Protein (RBP) with diverse subcellular localizations, including the nucleolus in all eukaryotic cells, the plasma membrane in tumor cells, and the axon in neurons. Here we show that the glycine arginine rich (GAR) domain of nucleolin drives subcellular localization via protein-protein interactions with a kinesin light chain. In addition, GAR sequences mediate plasma membrane interactions of nucleolin. Both these modalities are in addition to the already reported involvement of the GAR domain in liquid-liquid phase separation in the nucleolus. Nucleolin transport to axons requires the GAR domain, and heterozygous GAR deletion mice reveal reduced axonal localization of nucleolin cargo mRNAs and enhanced sensory neuron growth. Thus, the GAR domain governs axonal transport of a growth controlling RNA-RBP complex in neurons, and is a versatile localization determinant for different subcellular compartments. Localization determination by GAR domains may explain why GAR mutants in diverse RBPs are associated with neurodegenerative disease.

Project description:The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein hnRNP A1 is a nucleocytoplasmic-shuttling RNA-binding protein that plays an important role in nucleic acid metabolism and gene expression regulation. The function of hnRNP A1 is determined in part by its specific location within the cell. Although some work has been done to elucidate the signaling pathways that regulate the cellular localization of hnRNP A1, the precise mechanism(s), including physiological and pathophysiological conditions that alter hnRNP A1 localization, are not known. We previously conducted an unbiased RNAi-based kinome-wide screen to identify kinases that regulate hnRNP A1 localization during hypertonic stress. One of the hits from this screen is AMPK-related protein kinase 5 (ARK5). Here, we validate ARK5 as the kinase responsible for controlling hnRNP A1 subcellular localization in response to hypertonic stress. We find using immunoprecipitation and in vitro kinase assay methods that ARK5 directly interacts with and phosphorylates hnRNP A1 on serine residues within the F-peptide region. We further show that the M9 motif of hnRNP A1 is essential for the ARK5-hnRNP A1 interaction and subsequent phosphorylation. In addition, the silencing of ARK5 increases the expression of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL and consequently delays caspase activation during hypertonic stress. Our results indicate that ARK5 phosphorylates hnRNP A1 and regulates its subcellular localization during hypertonic stress.

Position-specific binding of FUS to nascent RNA regulates mRNA length.

Project description:More than half of all human genes produce prematurely terminated polyadenylated short mRNAs. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. CLIP-seq (cross-linking immunoprecipitation [CLIP] combined with deep sequencing) of FUS (fused in sarcoma) in neuronal cells showed that FUS is frequently clustered around an alternative polyadenylation (APA) site of nascent RNA. ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation [ChIP] combined with deep sequencing) of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) demonstrated that FUS stalls RNAP II and prematurely terminates transcription. When an APA site is located upstream of an FUS cluster, FUS enhances polyadenylation by recruiting CPSF160 and up-regulates the alternative short transcript. In contrast, when an APA site is located downstream from an FUS cluster, polyadenylation is not activated, and the RNAP II-suppressing effect of FUS leads to down-regulation of the alternative short transcript. CAGE-seq (cap analysis of gene expression [CAGE] combined with deep sequencing) and PolyA-seq (a strand-specific and quantitative method for high-throughput sequencing of 3' ends of polyadenylated transcripts) revealed that position-specific regulation of mRNA lengths by FUS is operational in two-thirds of transcripts in neuronal cells, with enrichment in genes involved in synaptic activities.

Conserved Lysine Acetylation within the Microtubule-Binding Domain Regulates MAP2/Tau Family Members.

Project description:Lysine acetylation has emerged as a dominant post-translational modification (PTM) regulating tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. Mass spectrometry studies indicate that tau acetylation sites cluster within the microtubule-binding region (MTBR), a region that is highly conserved among tau, MAP2, and MAP4 family members, implying that acetylation could represent a conserved regulatory mechanism for MAPs beyond tau. Here, we combined mass spectrometry, biochemical assays, and cell-based approaches to demonstrate that the tau family members MAP2 and MAP4 are also subject to reversible acetylation. We identify a cluster of lysines in the MAP2 and MAP4 MTBR that undergo CBP-catalyzed acetylation, many of which are conserved in tau. Similar to tau, MAP2 acetylation can occur in a cysteine-dependent auto-regulatory manner in the presence of acetyl-CoA. Furthermore, tubulin reduced MAP2 acetylation, suggesting tubulin binding dictates MAP acetylation status. Taken together, these results uncover a striking conservation of MAP2/Tau family post-translational modifications that could expand our understanding of the dynamic mechanisms regulating microtubules.

Dlg5 regulates dendritic spine formation and synaptogenesis by controlling subcellular N-cadherin localization.

Project description:Most excitatory synapses in the mammalian brain are formed on dendritic spines, and spine density has a profound impact on synaptic transmission, integration, and plasticity. Membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) proteins are intracellular scaffolding proteins with well established roles in synapse function. However, whether MAGUK proteins are required for the formation of dendritic spines in vivo is unclear. We isolated a novel disc large-5 (Dlg5) allele in mice, Dlg5(LP), which harbors a missense mutation in the DLG5 SH3 domain, greatly attenuating its ability to interact with the DLG5 GUK domain. We show here that DLG5 is a MAGUK protein that regulates spine formation, synaptogenesis, and synaptic transmission in cortical neurons. DLG5 regulates synaptogenesis by enhancing the cell surface localization of N-cadherin, revealing a key molecular mechanism for regulating the subcellular localization of this cell adhesion molecule during synaptogenesis.

Regulation of inflammatory responses by dynamic subcellular localization of RNA-binding protein Arid5a.

Project description:Adenine-thymine (AT)-rich interactive domain 5a (Arid5a) is an RNA-binding protein found in the cytoplasm and nucleus of normally growing cells. Although Arid5a is known to play an important role in immune regulation, whether and how Arid5a subcellular localization impacts immune regulation has remained unclear. In this study, we generated Arid5a transgenic (TG) mice to address this question. While ectopic Arid5a overexpression did not affect expression of inflammatory cytokines under unstimulated conditions, significantly higher levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, were produced in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Consistent with this, TG mice were more sensitive to LPS treatment than wild-type mice. We also found that Arid5a is imported into the nucleus via a classical importin-α/β1-mediated pathway. On stimulation, nuclear Arid5a levels were decreased, while there was a concomitant increase in cytoplasmic Arid5a. Arid5a is associated with up-frameshift protein 1, and its nuclear export is regulated by a nuclear export receptor, chromosomal region maintenance 1. Taken together, these data indicate that Arid5a is a dynamic protein that translocates to the cytoplasm from the nucleus so as to properly exert its dual function in mRNA stabilization and transcriptional regulation during inflammatory conditions.

Widespread binding of FUS along nascent RNA regulates alternative splicing in the brain.

Project description:Fused in sarcoma (FUS) and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) are RNA-binding proteins pathogenetically linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), but it is not known if they regulate the same transcripts. We addressed this question using crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP) in mouse brain, which showed that FUS binds along the whole length of the nascent RNA with limited sequence specificity to GGU and related motifs. A saw-tooth binding pattern in long genes demonstrated that FUS remains bound to pre-mRNAs until splicing is completed. Analysis of FUS(-/-) brain demonstrated a role for FUS in alternative splicing, with increased crosslinking of FUS in introns around the repressed exons. We did not observe a significant overlap in the RNA binding sites or the exons regulated by FUS and TDP-43. Nevertheless, we found that both proteins regulate genes that function in neuronal development.
