Isoflurane induces Art2-Rsp5-dependent endocytosis of Bap2 in yeast.

ABSTRACT: Although general anesthesia is indispensable during modern surgical procedures, the mechanism by which inhalation anesthetics act on the synaptic membrane at the molecular and cellular level is largely unknown. In this study, we used yeast cells to examine the effect of isoflurane, an inhalation anesthetic, on membrane proteins. Bap2, an amino acid transporter localized on the plasma membrane, was endocytosed when yeast cells were treated with isoflurane. Depletion of RSP5, an E3 ligase, prevented this endocytosis and Bap2 was ubiquitinated in response to isoflurane, indicating an ubiquitin-dependent process. Screening all the Rsp5 binding adaptors showed that Art2 plays a central role in this process. These results suggest that isoflurane affects Bap2 via an Art2-Rsp5-dependent ubiquitination system.

Pheromone- and RSP5-dependent ubiquitination of the G protein beta subunit Ste4 in yeast.

Project description:Ste4 is the ? subunit of a heterotrimeric G protein that mediates mating responses in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we show that Ste4 undergoes ubiquitination in response to pheromone stimulation. Ubiquitination of Ste4 is dependent on the E3 ligase Rsp5. Disrupting the activity of Rsp5 abolishes ubiquitination of Ste4 in vivo, and recombinant Rsp5 is capable of ubiquitinating Ste4 in vitro. We find also that Lys-340 is a major ubiquitination site on Ste4, as pheromone-induced ubiquitination of the protein is prevented when this residue is mutated to an arginine. Functionally, ubiquitination does not appear to regulate the stability of Ste4, as blocking ubiquitination has no apparent effect on either the abundance or the half-life of the protein. However, when presented with a concentration gradient of pheromone, Ste4(K340R) mutant cells polarize significantly faster than wild-type cells, indicating that ubiquitination limits pheromone-directed polarized growth. Together, these findings reveal a novel stimulus-dependent posttranslational modification of a G? subunit, establish Ste4 as a new substrate of the E3 ligase Rsp5, and demonstrate a role for G protein ubiquitination in cell polarization.

Yeast ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 contains nuclear localization and export signals.

Project description:The Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase regulates numerous cellular processes. Rsp5 is mainly localized to the cytoplasm but nuclear localization was also reported. A potential nuclear export signal was tested for activity by using a GFP(2) reporter. The 687-LIGGIAEIDI-696 sequence located in the Hect domain was identified as a nuclear export signal active in a Crm1-dependent manner, and its importance for the localization of Rsp5 was documented by using fluorescence microscopy and a lacZ-based reporter system. Analysis of the cellular location of other Rsp5 fragments fused with GFP(2) indicated two independent potential nuclear localization signals, both located in the Hect domain. We also uncovered Rsp5 fragments that are important to targeting/tethering Rsp5 to various regions in the cytoplasm. The presented data indicate that Rsp5 ligase is a shuttling protein whose distribution within the cytoplasm and partitioning between cytoplasmic and nuclear locations is determined by a balance between the actions of several targeting sequences and domains.

Yeast reveal a "druggable" Rsp5/Nedd4 network that ameliorates ?-synuclein toxicity in neurons.

Project description:?-Synuclein (?-syn) is a small lipid-binding protein implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, whose pathobiology is conserved from yeast to man. There are no therapies targeting these underlying cellular pathologies, or indeed those of any major neurodegenerative disease. Using unbiased phenotypic screens as an alternative to target-based approaches, we discovered an N-aryl benzimidazole (NAB) that strongly and selectively protected diverse cell types from ?-syn toxicity. Three chemical genetic screens in wild-type yeast cells established that NAB promoted endosomal transport events dependent on the E3 ubiquitin ligase Rsp5/Nedd4. These same steps were perturbed by ?-syn itself. Thus, NAB identifies a druggable node in the biology of ?-syn that can correct multiple aspects of its underlying pathology, including dysfunctional endosomal and endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi vesicle trafficking.

Signaling regulated endocytosis and exocytosis lead to mating pheromone concentration dependent morphologies in yeast.

Project description:Polarized cell morphogenesis requires actin cytoskeleton rearrangement for polarized transport of proteins, organelles and secretory vesicles, which fundamentally underlies cell differentiation and behavior. During yeast mating, Saccharomyces cerevisiae responds to extracellular pheromone gradients by extending polarized projections, which are likely maintained through vesicle transport to (exocytosis) and from (endocytosis) the membrane. We experimentally demonstrate that the projection morphology is pheromone concentration-dependent, and propose the underlying mechanism through mathematical modeling. The inclusion of membrane flux and dynamically evolving cell boundary into our yeast mating signaling model shows good agreement with experimental measurements, and provides a plausible explanation for pheromone-induced cell morphology.

Alpha-synuclein induces lysosomal rupture and cathepsin dependent reactive oxygen species following endocytosis.

Project description:?-synuclein dysregulation is a critical aspect of Parkinson's disease pathology. Recent studies have observed that ?-synuclein aggregates are cytotoxic to cells in culture and that this toxicity can be spread between cells. However, the molecular mechanisms governing this cytotoxicity and spread are poorly characterized. Recent studies of viruses and bacteria, which achieve their cytoplasmic entry by rupturing intracellular vesicles, have utilized the redistribution of galectin proteins as a tool to measure vesicle rupture by these organisms. Using this approach, we demonstrate that ?-synuclein aggregates can induce the rupture of lysosomes following their endocytosis in neuronal cell lines. This rupture can be induced by the addition of ?-synuclein aggregates directly into cells as well as by cell-to-cell transfer of ?-synuclein. We also observe that lysosomal rupture by ?-synuclein induces a cathepsin B dependent increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in target cells. Finally, we observe that ?-synuclein aggregates can induce inflammasome activation in THP-1 cells. Lysosomal rupture is known to induce mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation, both of which are well established aspects of Parkinson's disease, thus connecting these aspects of Parkinson's disease to the propagation of ?-synuclein pathology in cells.

Integrated control of transporter endocytosis and recycling by the arrestin-related protein Rod1 and the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5.

Project description:After endocytosis, membrane proteins can recycle to the cell membrane or be degraded in lysosomes. Cargo ubiquitylation favors their lysosomal targeting and can be regulated by external signals, but the mechanism is ill-defined. Here, we studied the post-endocytic trafficking of Jen1, a yeast monocarboxylate transporter, using microfluidics-assisted live-cell imaging. We show that the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 and the glucose-regulated arrestin-related trafficking adaptors (ART) protein Rod1, involved in the glucose-induced internalization of Jen1, are also required for the post-endocytic sorting of Jen1 to the yeast lysosome. This new step takes place at the trans-Golgi network (TGN), where Rod1 localizes dynamically upon triggering endocytosis. Indeed, transporter trafficking to the TGN after internalization is required for their degradation. Glucose removal promotes Rod1 relocalization to the cytosol and Jen1 deubiquitylation, allowing transporter recycling when the signal is only transient. Therefore, nutrient availability regulates transporter fate through the localization of the ART/Rsp5 ubiquitylation complex at the TGN.

Isoflurane induces dose-dependent alterations in the cortical connectivity profiles and dynamic properties of the brain's functional architecture.

Project description:Despite their widespread use, the effect of anesthetic agents on the brain's functional architecture remains poorly understood. This is particularly true of alterations that occur beyond the point of induced unconsciousness. Here, we examined the distributed intrinsic connectivity of macaques across six isoflurane levels using resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) following the loss of consciousness. The results from multiple analysis strategies showed stable functional connectivity (FC) patterns between 1.00% and 1.50% suggesting this as a suitable range for anesthetized nonhuman primate resting-state investigations. Dose-dependent effects were evident at moderate to high dosages showing substantial alteration of the functional topology and a decrease or complete loss of interhemispheric cortical FC strength including that of contralateral homologues. The assessment of dynamic FC patterns revealed that the functional repertoire of brain states is related to anesthesia depth and most strikingly, that the number of state transitions linearly decreases with increased isoflurane dosage. Taken together, the results indicate dose-specific spatial and temporal alterations of FC that occur beyond the typically defined endpoint of consciousness. Future work will be necessary to determine how these findings generalize across anesthetic types and extend to the transition between consciousness and unconsciousness.

Yeast RSP5 and its human homolog hRPF1 potentiate hormone-dependent activation of transcription by human progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors.

Project description:We have developed a system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in which agonist-dependent transcriptional activity of the human progesterone receptor (hPR) is elevated to the point that it compromises cell growth. Screens for suppressors of this phenotype led to the demonstration that RSP5 is involved in hPR transactivation. Expression of RSP5 in yeast cells potentiated hPR and human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) transcriptional activity and increased the efficacy of weak agonists of these receptors. Remarkably, expression of this yeast protein in mammalian cells had a similar effect on PR and GR transcriptional activity. Importantly, a human homolog of RSP5, hRPF1, functioned identically in mammalian cells. Previously, it has been demonstrated that RSP5 overexpression in yeast cells suppressed mutations within SPT3, a protein which interacts with the TATA-box-binding protein (TBP), suggesting that RSP5 and SPT3 operate in the same regulatory pathway. In support of this observation, we have shown that SPT3 enhances the activity of RSP5 on GR and PR when tested in yeast or mammalian cells. We conclude from these experiments that the regulatory pathways in which RSP5 and SPT3 operate in yeast cells are conserved in higher eukaryotes. Additionally, since SPT3 has been shown to contact yeast TBP directly and is the likely homolog of human TBP-associated factor TAFII18, we propose that RSP5/hRPF1 and SPT3 establish a functional link between activated PR and GR and the general transcription apparatus.
