Project description:Dysregulated immune responses contribute to the excessive and uncontrolled inflammation observed in severe COVID-19. However, how immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is induced and regulated remains unclear. Here we uncover a role of the complement system in the induction of innate and adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2. Complement rapidly opsonizes SARS-CoV-2 particles via the lectin pathway. Complement-opsonized SARS-CoV-2 efficiently induces type-I interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses via activation of dendritic cells, which are inhibited by antibodies against the complement receptors (CR) 3 and 4. Serum from COVID-19 patients, or monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, attenuate innate and adaptive immunity induced by complement-opsonized SARS-CoV-2. Blocking of CD32, the FcγRII antibody receptor of dendritic cells, restores complement-induced immunity. These results suggest that opsonization of SARS-CoV-2 by complement is involved in the induction of innate and adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in the acute phase of infection. Subsequent antibody responses limit inflammation and restore immune homeostasis. These findings suggest that dysregulation of the complement system and FcγRII signaling may contribute to severe COVID-19.

Project description:Hematopoiesis requires the spatiotemporal organization of regulatory factors to successfully orchestrate diverse lineage specificity from stem and progenitor cells. Med12 is a regulatory component of the large Mediator complex that enables contact between the general RNA polymerase II transcriptional machinery and enhancer bound regulatory factors. We have identified a new zebrafish med12 allele, syr, with a single missense mutation causing a valine to aspartic acid change at position 1046. Syr shows defects in hematopoiesis, which predominantly affect the myeloid lineage. Syr has identified a hematopoietic cell-specific requirement for Med12, suggesting a new role for this transcriptional regulator.

Project description:HAE cultures were infected with SARS-CoV, SARS-dORF6 or SARS-BatSRBD and were directly compared to A/CA/04/2009 H1N1 influenza-infected cultures. Cell samples were collected at various hours post-infection for analysis. Time Points = 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 and 96 hrs post-infection for SARS-CoV, SARS-dORF6 and SARS-BatSRBD. Time Points = 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hrs post-infection for H1N1. Done in triplicate or quadruplicate for RNA Triplicates/quadruplicates are defined as 3/4 different wells, plated at the same time and using the same cell stock for all replicates. Time matched mocks done in triplicate from same cell stock as rest of samples. Culture medium (the same as what the virus stock is in) will be used for the mock infections. Infection was done at an MOI of 2.

Project description:Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are a specific subset of T cells that recognize glycolipid antigens and upon activation rapidly exert effector functions. This unique function is established during iNKT cell development; the detailed mechanisms of this process, however, remain to be elucidated. Here the authors show that deletion of the mediator subunit Med23 in CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) thymocytes completely blocks iNKT cell development at stage 2. This dysregulation is accompanied by a bias in the expression of genes related to the regulation of transcription and metabolism, and functional impairment of the cells including the loss of NK cell characteristics, reduced ability to secrete cytokines and attenuated recruitment capacity upon activation. Moreover, Med23-deficient iNKT cells exhibit impaired anti-tumor activity. Our study identifies Med23 as an essential transcriptional regulator that controls iNKT cell differentiation and terminal maturation.

Project description:BackgroundThe Mediator complex is an evolutionarily conserved multi-subunit protein complex that plays major roles in transcriptional activation and is essential for cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Recent studies revealed that some Mediator subunits formed nuclear condensates that may facilitate enhancer-promoter interactions and gene activation. The assembly, regulation, and functions of these nuclear condensates remain to be further understood.ResultsWe found that Med15, a subunit in the tail module of the Mediator complex, formed nuclear condensates through a novel mechanism. Nuclear foci of Med15 were detected by both immunostaining of endogenous proteins and live cell imaging. Like Med1 foci and many other biomolecular condensates, Med15 foci were sensitive to 1, 6-Hexanediol and showed rapid recovery during fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Interestingly, overexpressing DYRK3, a dual-specificity kinase that controls the phase transition of membraneless organelles, appeared to disrupt Med1 foci and Med15 foci. We identified two regions that are required to form Med15 nuclear condensates: the glutamine-rich intrinsically disordered region (IDR) and a short downstream hydrophobic motif. The optodroplet assay revealed that both the IDR and the C-terminal region of Med15 contributed to intracellular phase separation.ConclusionsWe identified that the Mediator complex subunit Med15 formed nuclear condensates and characterized their features in living cells. Our work suggests that Med15 plays a role in the assembly of transcription coactivator condensates in the nucleus and identifies Med15 regions that contribute to phase separation.
