CHIP-dependent regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is linked to neuronal cell membrane integrity.

ABSTRACT: CHIP is an E3-ubiquitin ligase that contributes to healthy aging and has been characterized as neuroprotective. To elucidate dominant CHIP-dependent changes in protein steady-state levels in a patient-derived human neuronal model, CHIP function was ablated using gene-editing and an unbiased proteomic analysis conducted to compare knock-out and wild-type isogenic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons. Rather than a broad effect on protein homeostasis, loss of CHIP function impacted on a focused cohort of proteins from actin cytoskeleton signaling and membrane integrity networks. In support of the proteomics, CHIP knockout cells had enhanced sensitivity to induced membrane damage. We conclude that the major readout of CHIP function in cortical neurons derived from iPSC of a patient with elevate α-synuclein, Parkinson's disease and dementia, is the modulation of substrates involved in maintaining cellular "health". Thus, regulation of the actin cytoskeletal and membrane integrity likely contributes to the neuroprotective function(s) of CHIP.

Pathway Analysis of Dominant CHIP E3 Ligase-Dependent Protein Steady State Changes Highlight a Role in Neuronal Cell Membrane Integrity Linked to the Actin Cytoskeleton

Project description:Functional integrity of the E3-ubiquitin ligase CHIP is essential for healthy aging in the brain. By virtue of its association with the core molecular chaperone machinery, studies into the physiological role(s) of CHIP have been dominated by its involvement in the quality control and degradation of unfolded, aggregated and/or mutated proteins. To elucidate the dominant CHIP-dependent changes in protein steady state levels in human neurons we conducted an unbiased proteomic analysis in genetically engineered wild-type and CHIP knockout iPSC-derived cortical neurons. Rather than a broad effect on protein homeostasis, pathway analysis highlighted a focused cohort of CHIP-responsive proteins involved in actin cytoskeleton signalling and membrane integrity. In support of the pathway analysis CHIP KO cell-lines had enhanced sensitivity to mechanical and chemical membrane damage. Consistent with recent studies on the identification of a non-canonical HSP-independent E3-activity for CHIP, the lack of general quality control defects in knock-out cells suggests that the major readout of CHIP function in cortical neurons is the regulation of native folded substrates involved in maintaining cellular ‘health’. Thus, CHIP-mediated regulation of the of cytoskeletal- and membrane-related proteins is likely to make a vital contribute to the neuroprotective activity of CHIP.

T cell signal regulation by the actin cytoskeleton.

Project description:T cells form an immunological synapse (IS) that sustains and regulates signals for cell stimulation. Enriched in the IS is the Src family kinase Lck. Conversely, the membrane phosphatase CD45, which activates Src family kinases, is excluded, and this is necessary to avoid quenching of T cell receptor phosphosignals. Data suggest that this arrangement occurs by an enrichment of cholesterol-dependent rafts in the IS. However, the role of rafts in structuring the IS remains unclear. To address this question, we used fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to interrogate the nanoscopic structure of the IS. The FRET probes consisted of membrane-anchored fluorescent proteins with distinct affinities for rafts. Both the raft and nonraft probes exhibited clustering in the IS. However, co-clustering of raft donor-acceptor pairs was 10-fold greater than co-clustering of raft-nonraft pairs. We measured the effect of disrupting rafts in the IS on CD45 localization and Lck regulation by treating stimulated T cells with filipin. The filipin specifically disrupted co-clustering of the raft FRET pairs in the IS and allowed targeting of CD45 to the IS and dephosphorylation of the regulatory tyrosine of Lck. Clustering of the raft probes was also sensitive to latrunctulin B, which disrupts actin filaments. Strikingly, enriching the cortical cytoskeleton using jasplakinolide maintained raft probe co-clustering, CD45 exclusion, and Lck regulation in the IS following the addition of filipin. These data show the actin cytoskeleton maintains a membrane raft environment in the IS that promotes Lck regulation by excluding CD45.

Binding of WIP to actin is essential for T cell actin cytoskeleton integrity and tissue homing.

Project description:The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is important for actin polymerization in T cells and for their migration. WASp-interacting protein (WIP) binds to and stabilizes WASp and also interacts with actin. Cytoskeletal and functional defects are more severe in WIP(-/-) T cells, which lack WASp, than in WASp(-/-) T cells, suggesting that WIP interaction with actin may be important for T cell cytoskeletal integrity and function. We constructed mice that lack the actin-binding domain of WIP (WIP?ABD mice). WIP?ABD associated normally with WASp but not F-actin. T cells from WIP?ABD mice had normal WASp levels but decreased cellular F-actin content, a disorganized actin cytoskeleton, impaired chemotaxis, and defective homing to lymph nodes. WIP?ABD mice exhibited a T cell intrinsic defect in contact hypersensitivity and impaired responses to cutaneous challenge with protein antigen. Adoptively transferred antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells from WIP?ABD mice had decreased homing to antigen-challenged skin of wild-type recipients. These findings show that WIP binding to actin, independently of its binding to WASp, is critical for the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton in T cells and for their migration into tissues. Disruption of WIP binding to actin could be of therapeutic value in T cell-driven inflammatory diseases.

Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Dependent Regulation of B Cell PI3K-AKT Signaling Pathway and Actin Cytoskeleton.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are adult, multipotent cells of mesodermal origin representing the progenitors of all stromal tissues. MSCs possess significant and broad immunomodulatory functions affecting both adaptive and innate immune responses once MSCs are primed by the inflammatory microenvironment. Recently, the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating the therapeutic effects of MSCs has been recognized. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the immunomodulatory properties of MSC-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) are still poorly characterized. Therefore, we carried out a molecular characterization of MSC-EV content by high-throughput approaches. We analyzed miRNA and protein expression profile in cellular and vesicular compartments both in normal and inflammatory conditions. We found several proteins and miRNAs involved in immunological processes, such as MOES, LG3BP, PTX3, and S10A6 proteins, miR-155-5p, and miR-497-5p. Different in silico approaches were also performed to correlate miRNA and protein expression profile and then to evaluate the putative molecules or pathways involved in immunoregulatory properties mediated by MSC-EVs. PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and the regulation of actin cytoskeleton were identified and functionally validated in vitro as key mediators of MSC/B cell communication mediated by MSC-EVs. In conclusion, we identified different molecules and pathways responsible for immunoregulatory properties mediated by MSC-EVs, thus identifying novel therapeutic targets as safer and more useful alternatives to cell or EV-based therapeutic approaches.

Ubiquitylation-dependent negative regulation of WASp is essential for actin cytoskeleton dynamics.

Project description:The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) is a key regulator of actin dynamics during cell motility and adhesion, and mutations in its gene are responsible for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). Here, we demonstrate that WASp is ubiquitylated following T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) activation. WASp phosphorylation at tyrosine 291 results in recruitment of the E3 ligase Cbl-b, which, together with c-Cbl, carries out WASp ubiquitylation. Lysine residues 76 and 81, located at the WASp WH1 domain, which contains the vast majority of WASp gene mutations, serve as the ubiquitylation sites. Disruption of WASp ubiquitylation causes WASp accumulation and alters actin dynamics and the formation of actin-dependent structures. Our data suggest that regulated degradation of activated WASp might be an efficient strategy by which the duration and localization of actin rearrangement and the intensity of T-cell activation are controlled.

Ubiquitin-dependent remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton drives cell fusion

Project description:Cell-cell fusion is a frequent and essential event during development, and its dysregulation causes diseases ranging from infertility to muscle weakness. Fusing cells repeatedly need to remodel their plasma membrane by orchestrated formation and disassembly of cortical actin filaments, but how the dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton control is still poorly understood. Here, we identified a ubiquitin- dependent toggle switch that establishes reversible actin bundling during mammalian cell fusion. We found that EPS8-IRSp53 complexes stabilize cortical actin bundles at sites of cell contact, which in part pushes cells towards each other. Conversely, EPS8 monoubiquitylation by CUL3KCTD10 displaces EPS8-IRSp53 from membranes and counteracts actin bundling, a dual activity that allows apposed cells to progress with fusion. We conclude that cytoskeletal rearrangements during development are precisely controlled by ubiquitylation, raising the possibility to modulate the efficiency of cell-cell fusion for therapeutic benefit.

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers.

Project description:Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein-coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating stress responses. Here we show that the two known CRFRs interact to form heteromeric complexes in HEK293 cells coexpressing both CRFRs and in vivo in mouse pancreas. Coimmunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of both CRF1R and CRF2?R, along with actin in these heteromeric complexes. Inhibition of actin filament polymerization prevented the transport of CRF2?R to the cell surface but had no effect on CRF1R. Transport of CRF1R when coexpressed with CRF2?R became actin dependent. Simultaneous stimulation of cells coexpressing CRF1R+CRF2?R with their respective high-affinity agonists, CRF+urocortin2, resulted in approximately twofold increases in peak Ca2+ responses, whereas stimulation with urocortin1 that binds both receptors with 10-fold higher affinity did not. The ability of CRFRs to form heteromeric complexes in association with regulatory proteins is one mechanism to achieve diverse and nuanced function.

Proteomic profiling in Drosophila reveals potential Dube3a regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and neuronal homeostasis.

Project description:The molecular defects associated with Angelman syndrome (AS) and 15q duplication autism are directly correlated to expression levels of the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein UBE3A. Here we used Drosophila melanogaster to screen for the targets of this ubiquitin ligase under conditions of both decreased (as in AS) or increased (as in dup(15)) levels of the fly Dube3a or human UBE3A proteins. Using liquid phase isoelectric focusing of proteins from whole fly head extracts we identified a total of 50 proteins that show changes in protein, and in some cases transcriptional levels, when Dube3a fluctuates. We analyzed head extracts from cytoplasmic, nuclear and membrane fractions for Dube3a regulated proteins. Our results indicate that Dube3a is involved in the regulation of cellular functions related to ATP synthesis/metabolism, actin cytoskeletal integrity, both catabolism and carbohydrate metabolism as well as nervous system development and function. Sixty-two percent of the proteins were >50% identical to homologous human proteins and 8 have previously be shown to be ubiquitinated in the fly nervous system. Eight proteins may be regulated by Dube3a at the transcript level through the transcriptional co-activation function of Dube3a. We investigated one autism-associated protein, ATP?, and found that it can be ubiquitinated in a Dube3a dependent manner. We also found that Dube3a mutants have significantly less filamentous actin than wild type larvae consistent with the identification of actin targets regulated by Dube3a. The identification of UBE3A targets is the first step in unraveling the molecular etiology of AS and duplication 15q autism.

Rapid actin-cytoskeleton-dependent recruitment of plasma membrane-derived dysferlin at wounds is critical for muscle membrane repair.

Project description:Deficits in membrane repair may contribute to disease progression in dysferlin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Dysferlin, a type-II transmembrane phospholipid-binding protein, is hypothesized to regulate fusion of repair vesicles with the sarcolemma to facilitate membrane repair, but the dysferlin-containing compartments involved in membrane repair and the mechanism by which these compartments contribute to resealing are unclear. A dysferlin-pHluorin [dysf-pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein (pHGFP)] muscle-specific transgenic mouse was developed to examine the dynamic behavior and subcellular localization of dysferlin during membrane repair in adult skeletal muscle fibers. Live-cell confocal microscopy of uninjured adult dysf-pHGFP muscle fibers revealed that dysferlin is highly enriched in the sarcolemma and transverse tubules. Laser-wounding induced rapid recruitment of ?30 ?m of local dysferlin-containing sarcolemma, leading to formation of stable dysferlin accumulations surrounding lesions, endocytosis of dysferlin, and formation of large cytoplasmic vesicles from distal regions of the fiber. Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton decreased recruitment of sarcolemma-derived dysferlin to lesions in dysf-pHGFP fibers without affecting endocytosis and impaired membrane resealing in wild-type fibers, similar to findings in dysferlin deficiency (a 2-fold increase in FM1-43 uptake). Our data support a new mechanism whereby recruitment of sarcolemma-derived dysferlin creates an active zone of high lipid-binding activity at wounds to interact with repair vesicles and facilitate membrane resealing in skeletal muscle.

Vinculin association with actin cytoskeleton is necessary for stiffness-dependent regulation of vinculin behavior.

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a major regulator of cell behavior. Recent studies have indicated the importance of the physical properties of the ECM, including its stiffness, for cell migration and differentiation. Using actomyosin-generated forces, cells pull the ECM and sense stiffness via cell-ECM adhesion structures called focal adhesions (FAs). Vinculin, an actin-binding FA protein, has emerged as a major player in FA-mediated mechanotransduction. Although vinculin is important for sensing ECM stiffness, the role of vinculin binding to actin in the ECM stiffness-mediated regulation of vinculin behavior remains unknown. Here, we show that an actin binding-deficient mutation disrupts the ECM stiffness-dependent regulation of CSB (cytoskeleton stabilization buffer) resistance and the stable localization of vinculin. These results suggest that the vinculin-actin interaction participates in FA-mediated mechanotransduction.
