Trypanosome RNAEditing Substrate Binding Complex integrity and function depends on the upstream action of RESC10.

ABSTRACT: Uridine insertion/deletion editing of mitochondrial mRNAs is a characteristic feature of kinetoplastids, including Trypanosoma brucei. Editing is directed by trans-acting gRNAs and catalyzed by related RNA Editing Core Complexes (RECCs). The non-catalytic RNA Editing Substrate Binding Complex (RESC) coordinates interactions between RECC, gRNA and mRNA. RESC is a dynamic complex comprising GRBC (Guide RNA Binding Complex) and heterogeneous REMCs (RNA Editing Mediator Complexes). Here, we show that RESC10 is an essential, low abundance, RNA binding protein that exhibits RNase-sensitive and RNase-insensitive interactions with RESC proteins, albeit its minimal in vivo interaction with RESC13. RESC10 RNAi causes extensive RESC disorganization, including disruption of intra-GRBC protein-protein interactions, as well as mRNA depletion from GRBC and accumulation on REMCs. Analysis of mitochondrial RNAs at single nucleotide resolution reveals transcript-specific effects: RESC10 dramatically impacts editing progression in pan-edited RPS12 mRNA, but is critical for editing initiation in mRNAs with internally initiating gRNAs, pointing to distinct initiation mechanisms for these RNA classes. Correlations between sites at which editing pauses in RESC10 depleted cells and those in knockdowns of previously studied RESC proteins suggest that RESC10 acts upstream of these factors and that RESC is particularly important in promoting transitions between uridine insertion and deletion RECCs.

Integrity of the core mitochondrial RNA-binding complex 1 is vital for trypanosome RNA editing.

Project description:Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of the human and veterinarian diseases African sleeping sickness and nagana. A majority of its mitochondrial-encoded transcripts undergo RNA editing, an essential process of post-transcriptional uridine insertion and deletion to produce translatable mRNA. Besides the well-characterized RNA editing core complex, the mitochondrial RNA-binding 1 (MRB1) complex is one of the key players. It comprises a core complex of about six proteins, guide RNA-associated proteins (GAPs) 1/2, which form a heterotetramer that binds and stabilizes gRNAs, plus MRB5390, MRB3010, and MRB11870, which play roles in initial stages of RNA editing, presumably guided by the first gRNA:mRNA duplex in the case of the latter two proteins. To better understand all functions of the MRB1 complex, we performed a functional analysis of the MRB8620 core subunit, the only one not characterized so far. Here we show that MRB8620 plays a role in RNA editing in both procyclic and bloodstream stages of T. brucei, which reside in the tsetse fly vector and mammalian circulatory system, respectively. While RNAi silencing of MRB8620 does not affect procyclic T. brucei fitness when grown in glucose-containing media, it is somewhat compromised in cells grown in the absence of this carbon source. MRB8620 is crucial for integrity of the MRB1 core, such as its association with GAP1/2, which presumably acts to deliver gRNAs to this complex. In contrast, GAP1/2 is not required for the fabrication of the MRB1 core. Disruption of the MRB1 core assembly is followed by the accumulation of mRNAs associated with GAP1/2.

MRB7260 is essential for productive protein-RNA interactions within the RNA editing substrate binding complex during trypanosome RNA editing.

Project description:The trypanosome RNA editing substrate binding complex (RESC) acts as the platform for mitochondrial uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing and facilitates the protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions required for the editing process. RESC is broadly comprised of two subcomplexes: GRBC (guide RNA binding complex) and REMC (RNA editing mediator complex). Here, we characterize the function and position in RESC organization of a previously unstudied RESC protein, MRB7260. We show that MRB7260 forms numerous RESC-related complexes, including a novel, small complex with the guide RNA binding protein, GAP1, which is a canonical GRBC component, and REMC components MRB8170 and TbRGG2. RNA immunoprecipitations in MRB7260-depleted cells show that MRB7260 is critical for normal RNA trafficking between REMC and GRBC. Analysis of protein-protein interactions also reveals an important role for MRB7260 in promoting stable association of the two subcomplexes. High-throughput sequencing analysis of RPS12 mRNAs from MRB7260 replete and depleted cells demonstrates that MRB7260 is critical for gRNA exchange and early gRNA utilization, with the exception of the initiating gRNA. Together, these data demonstrate that MRB7260 is essential for productive protein-RNA interactions with RESC during RNA editing.

Dynactin integrity depends upon direct binding of dynamitin to Arp1.

Project description:Dynactin is a multiprotein complex that works with cytoplasmic dynein and other motors to support a wide range of cell functions. It serves as an adaptor that binds both dynein and cargoes and enhances single-motor processivity. The dynactin subunit dynamitin (also known as p50) is believed to be integral to dynactin structure because free dynamitin displaces the dynein-binding p150(Glued) subunit from the cargo-binding Arp1 filament. We show here that the intrinsically disordered dynamitin N-terminus binds to Arp1 directly. When expressed in cells, dynamitin amino acids (AA) 1-87 causes complete release of endogenous dynamitin, p150, and p24 from dynactin, leaving behind Arp1 filaments carrying the remaining dynactin subunits (CapZ, p62, Arp11, p27, and p25). Tandem-affinity purification-tagged dynamitin AA 1-87 binds the Arp filament specifically, and binding studies with purified native Arp1 reveal that this fragment binds Arp1 directly. Neither CapZ nor the p27/p25 dimer contributes to interactions between dynamitin and the Arp filament. This work demonstrates for the first time that Arp1 can directly bind any protein besides another Arp and provides important new insight into the underpinnings of dynactin structure.

Maintenance of Golgi structure and function depends on the integrity of ER export.

Project description:The Golgi apparatus comprises an enormous array of components that generate its unique architecture and function within cells. Here, we use quantitative fluorescence imaging techniques and ultrastructural analysis to address whether the Golgi apparatus is a steady-state or a stable organelle. We found that all classes of Golgi components are dynamically associated with this organelle, contrary to the prediction of the stable organelle model. Enzymes and recycling components are continuously exiting and reentering the Golgi apparatus by membrane trafficking pathways to and from the ER, whereas Golgi matrix proteins and coatomer undergo constant, rapid exchange between membrane and cytoplasm. When ER to Golgi transport is inhibited without disrupting COPII-dependent ER export machinery (by brefeldin A treatment or expression of Arf1[T31N]), the Golgi structure disassembles, leaving no residual Golgi membranes. Rather, all Golgi components redistribute into the ER, the cytoplasm, or to ER exit sites still active for recruitment of selective membrane-bound and peripherally associated cargos. A similar phenomenon is induced by the constitutively active Sar1[H79G] mutant, which has the additional effect of causing COPII-associated membranes to cluster to a juxtanuclear region. In cells expressing Sar1[T39N], a constitutively inactive form of Sar1 that completely disrupts ER exit sites, Golgi glycosylation enzymes, matrix, and itinerant proteins all redistribute to the ER. These results argue against the hypothesis that the Golgi apparatus contains stable components that can serve as a template for its biogenesis. Instead, they suggest that the Golgi complex is a dynamic, steady-state system, whose membranes can be nucleated and are maintained by the activities of the Sar1-COPII and Arf1-coatomer systems.

Trypanosome CNOT10 is essential for the integrity of the NOT deadenylase complex and for degradation of many mRNAs.

Project description:The degradation of most eukaryotic mRNAs is initiated by removal of the poly(A) tail, and the major deadenylase activity is associated with the CCR4/CAF1/NOT complex (NOT complex). We here study the role of CNOT10, a protein that is found in human and trypanosome, but not in yeast, NOT complexes. Trypanosome (Tb) CNOT10 is essential for growth. TbCNOT10 interacted with the deadenylase TbCAF1 and the scaffold protein TbNOT1; TbCAF1 also interacted with TbNOT1 in a yeast two-hybrid assay. In both trypanosomes and human embryonic kidney cells, approximately half of CAF1 was associated with the NOT complex. Depletion of CNOT10 from human cells did not affect this association. In contrast, depletion of TbCNOT10 in trypanosomes caused a decrease in the level of TbNOT1, detachment of TbCAF1 from the complex and pronounced stabilization of most trypanosome mRNAs. Artificial tethering of TbCAF1 to a reporter mRNA in vivo resulted in mRNA degradation, and this was not affected by TbCNOT10 depletion. We conclude that in trypanosomes, TbCNOT10 may stabilize the interaction between TbCAF1 and the NOT complex. The results further suggest that TbCAF1 is only able to deadenylate mRNA in vivo if it is recruited to the mRNA through other NOT complex components.

The Tnfaip8-PE complex is a novel upstream effector in the anti-autophagic action of insulin.

Project description:Defective hepatic autophagy is observed in obesity and diabetes, whereas autophagy is inhibited by insulin in hepatocytes. Insulin-induced anti-autophagy is mediated by non-canonical Gαi3 signaling via an unknown mechanism. Previously, we identified the anti-autophagic activity of Tnfaip8 via activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in the nervous system. Here, we demonstrate that insulin temporally induces Tnfaip8, which mediates the anti-autophagic action of insulin through formation of a novel ternary complex including Tnfaip8, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and Gαi3. Specifically, an X-ray crystallographic study of Tnfaip8 from Mus musculus (mTnfaip8) at 2.03 Å together with LC-MS analyses reveals PE in the hydrophobic cavity. However, an mTnfaip8 mutant lacking PE does not interact with Gαi3, indicating that the PE component is critical for the anti-autophagic action of mTnfaip8 via interaction with Gαi3. Therefore, the mTnfaip8-PE complex may act as an essential upstream effector via ternary complex formation most likely with active Gαi3 during insulin-induced anti-autophagy.

A norovirus protease structure provides insights into active and substrate binding site integrity.

Project description:Norovirus 3C-like proteases are crucial to proteolytic processing of norovirus polyproteins. We determined the crystal structure of the 3C-like protease from Chiba virus, a norovirus, at 2.8-A resolution. An active site including Cys139 and His30 is present, as is a hydrogen bond network that stabilizes the active site conformation. In the oxyanion hole backbone, a structural difference was observed probably upon substrate binding. A peptide substrate/enzyme model shows that several interactions between the two components are critical for substrate binding and that the S1 and S2 sites appropriately accommodate the substrate P1 and P2 residues, respectively. Knowledge of the structure and a previous mutagenesis study allow us to correlate proteolysis and structure.

Action of polystyrene nanoparticles of different sizes on lysosomal function and integrity.

Project description:Data from environmental exposure to nanoparticles (NPs) suggest that chronic exposure may increase the incidence of lung, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Impairment of cell function by intracellular accumulation of NPs is also suspected. Many types of NPs have been detected in the endosomal-lysosomal system and, upon repeated exposure, alterations of the endosomal-lysosomal system may occur. To identify such effects we compared the effect of carboxyl polystyrene particles (CPS) of different sizes (20-500 nm) on lysosomes of the endothelial cell line EAhy926 after short (24h) and long (72h-96h) exposure times. Lysosomal localization of CPS, as well as lysosomal pH, lysosomal membrane integrity, morphology of the endosomal-lysosomal system and activities of the lysosomal enzymes,cathepsin B and sulfatases, upon exposure to CPS were recorded.CPS in sizes ?100 nm showed high co-localization with lysosomes already after 4h, larger CPS after 24h. None of the particles at non-cytotoxic concentrations caused marked changes in lysosomal pH or destroyed lysosomal membrane integrity. At 24h of exposure, 20 nm CPS induced significant dilatation of the endosomal-lysosomal system and reduced activity of lysosomal sulfatases. After 72h, these alterations were less pronounced.Despite accumulation in lysosomes CPS induced only small changes in lysosomes. Upon longer contact, these changes are even less pronounced. The presented panel of assays may serve to identify effects on lysosomes also for other NPs.

Substrate binding and specificity of rhomboid intramembrane protease revealed by substrate-peptide complex structures.

Project description:The mechanisms of intramembrane proteases are incompletely understood due to the lack of structural data on substrate complexes. To gain insight into substrate binding by rhomboid proteases, we have synthesised a series of novel peptidyl-chloromethylketone (CMK) inhibitors and analysed their interactions with Escherichia coli rhomboid GlpG enzymologically and structurally. We show that peptidyl-CMKs derived from the natural rhomboid substrate TatA from bacterium Providencia stuartii bind GlpG in a substrate-like manner, and their co-crystal structures with GlpG reveal the S1 to S4 subsites of the protease. The S1 subsite is prominent and merges into the 'water retention site', suggesting intimate interplay between substrate binding, specificity and catalysis. Unexpectedly, the S4 subsite is plastically formed by residues of the L1 loop, an important but hitherto enigmatic feature of the rhomboid fold. We propose that the homologous region of members of the wider rhomboid-like protein superfamily may have similar substrate or client-protein binding function. Finally, using molecular dynamics, we generate a model of the Michaelis complex of the substrate bound in the active site of GlpG.
