Clathrin-coated structures support 3D directed migration through local force transmission

ABSTRACT: Description Adhesive clathrin-coated structures steer cell migration by accumulating on collagen fibers decorated with specific ligands. Migrating cells navigate in complex environments through sensing and interpreting biochemical and/or mechanical cues. Here, we report that recently identified tubular clathrin/AP-2 lattices (TCALs), a subset of clathrin-coated structures (CCSs) that pinch collagen fibers, mechanically control directed migration along fibers decorated with ligands of CCS cargoes in three-dimensional (3D) environments. We observed that epidermal growth factor or low-density lipoprotein bound to collagen fibers leads to increased local nucleation and accumulation of TCALs. By using engineered, mixed collagen networks, we demonstrate that this mechanism selectively increases local forces applied on ligand-decorated fibers. We show that these effects depend on the ligand’s receptors but do not rely on their ability to trigger signaling events. We propose that the preferential accumulation of TCALs along ligand-decorated fibers steers migration in 3D environments. We conclude that ligand-regulated, local TCAL accumulation results in asymmetric force distribution that orients cell migration in 3D environments.

The structures of natively assembled clathrin-coated vesicles.

Project description:Clathrin-coated vesicles mediate trafficking of proteins and nutrients in the cell and between organelles. Proteins included in the clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) category include clathrin heavy chain (CHC), clathrin light chain (CLC), and a variety of adaptor protein complexes. Much is known about the structures of the individual CCV components, but data are lacking about the structures of the fully assembled complexes together with membrane and in complex with cargo. Here, we determined the structures of natively assembled CCVs in a variety of geometries. We show that the adaptor β2 appendages crosslink adjacent CHC β-propellers and that the appendage densities are enriched in CCV hexagonal faces. We resolve how adaptor protein 2 and other associated factors in hexagonal faces form an assembly hub with an extensive web of interactions between neighboring β-propellers and propose a structural model that explains how adaptor binding can direct the formation of pentagonal and hexagonal faces.

Frustrated endocytosis controls contractility-independent mechanotransduction at clathrin-coated structures.

Project description:It is generally assumed that cells interrogate the mechanical properties of their environment by pushing and pulling on the extracellular matrix (ECM). For instance, acto-myosin-dependent contraction forces exerted at focal adhesions (FAs) allow the cell to actively probe substrate elasticity. Here, we report that a subset of long-lived and flat clathrin-coated structures (CCSs), also termed plaques, are contractility-independent mechanosensitive signaling platforms. We observed that plaques assemble in response to increasing substrate rigidity and that this is independent of FAs, actin and myosin-II activity. We show that plaque assembly depends on ?v?5 integrin, and is a consequence of frustrated endocytosis whereby ?v?5 tightly engaged with the stiff substrate locally stalls CCS dynamics. We also report that plaques serve as platforms for receptor-dependent signaling and are required for increased Erk activation and cell proliferation on stiff environments. We conclude that CCSs are mechanotransduction structures that sense substrate rigidity independently of cell contractility.

Force transmission during adhesion-independent migration.

Project description:When cells move using integrin-based focal adhesions, they pull in the direction of motion with large, ∼100 Pa, stresses that contract the substrate. Integrin-mediated adhesions, however, are not required for in vivo confined migration. During focal adhesion-free migration, the transmission of propelling forces, and their magnitude and orientation, are not understood. Here, we combine theory and experiments to investigate the forces involved in adhesion-free migration. Using a non-adherent blebbing cell line as a model, we show that actin cortex flows drive cell movement through nonspecific substrate friction. Strikingly, the forces propelling the cell forward are several orders of magnitude lower than during focal-adhesion-based motility. Moreover, the force distribution in adhesion-free migration is inverted: it acts to expand, rather than contract, the substrate in the direction of motion. This fundamentally different mode of force transmission may have implications for cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions during migration in vivo.

?-Arrestin drives MAP kinase signalling from clathrin-coated structures after GPCR dissociation.

Project description:?-Arrestins critically regulate G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling, not only 'arresting' the G protein signal but also modulating endocytosis and initiating a discrete G-protein-independent signal through MAP kinase. Despite enormous recent progress towards understanding biophysical aspects of arrestin function, arrestin cell biology remains relatively poorly understood. Two key tenets underlie the prevailing current view: ?-arrestin accumulates in clathrin-coated structures (CCSs) exclusively in physical complex with its activating GPCR, and MAP kinase activation requires endocytosis of formed GPCR-?-arrestin complexes. We show here, using ?1-adrenergic receptors, that ?-arrestin-2 (arrestin 3) accumulates robustly in CCSs after dissociating from its activating GPCR and transduces the MAP kinase signal from CCSs. Moreover, inhibiting subsequent endocytosis of CCSs enhances the clathrin- and ?-arrestin-dependent MAP kinase signal. These results demonstrate ?-arrestin 'activation at a distance', after dissociating from its activating GPCR, and signalling from CCSs. We propose a ?-arrestin signalling cycle that is catalytically activated by the GPCR and energetically coupled to the endocytic machinery.

Global and local regulation of clathrin-coated pit dynamics detected on patterned substrates.

Project description:Live-cell imaging of individual clathrin-coated pit (CCP) dynamics has revealed a broad variation in their internalization kinetics, but the functional significance and mechanistic underpinnings of this heterogeneity remain unknown. One contributing factor may be the spatial variations in the underlying actin cortex. To test this, we cultured cells on fibronectin (Fn) micropatterned substrates to vary the cortical actin mechanics in a defined manner. Under these conditions, stress fibers became organized to bridge adhesive islands, creating spatial heterogeneity in the cortical actin architecture. CCP lifetimes within the Fn-coated islands were selectively prolonged. This differential effect was not due to adherence to Fn-coated surfaces, and was not observed in cells grown on patterned surfaces that did not induce organized stress fiber assembly. Pharmacological agents that lower cortical tension selectively lowered CCP lifetimes within Fn islands, thus abolishing the spatial heterogeneity in the CCP dynamics. Although we cannot rule out the possibility that other factors might locally affect CCP dynamics at Fn islands, our data suggest that localized modulation in cortical tension may spatially regulate clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

Mechanisms of force generation and force transmission during interstitial leukocyte migration.

Project description:For innate and adaptive immune responses it is essential that inflammatory cells use quick and flexible locomotion strategies. Accordingly, most leukocytes can efficiently infiltrate and traverse almost every physiological or artificial environment. Here, we review how leukocytes might achieve this task mechanistically, and summarize recent findings on the principles of cytoskeletal force generation and transduction at the leading edge of leukocytes. We propose a model in which the cells switch between adhesion-receptor-mediated force transmission and locomotion modes that are based on cellular deformations, but independent of adhesion receptors. This plasticity in migration strategies allows leukocytes to adapt to the geometry and molecular composition of their environment.

Reorganized 3D genome structures support transcriptional regulation in mouse spermatogenesis

Project description:Three-dimensional chromatin structures undergo dynamic reorganization during mammalian spermatogenesis; however, their impacts on gene regulation remain unclear. Here, we focused on understanding the structure-function regulation of meiotic chromosomes by Hi-C and other omics techniques in mouse spermatogenesis across five sequential stages. Beyond confirming recent reports regarding changes in compartmentalization and reorganization of topologically associating domains (TADs), we further demonstrated that chromatin loops are present prior to and after, but not at, the pachytene stage. By integrating Hi-C and RNA-Seq data, we showed that the switching of A/B compartments between spermatogenic stages is tightly associated with meiosis-specific mRNAs and piRNAs expression. Moreover, our ATAC-Seq data indicated that chromatin accessibility per se is not responsible for the TAD and loop diminishment at pachytene. Additionally, our ChIP-Seq data demonstrated that CTCF and cohesin remain bound at TAD boundary regions throughout meiosis, suggesting that dynamic reorganization of TADs does not require CTCF and cohesin clearance.

Migration and 3D Traction Force Measurements inside Compliant Microchannels.

Project description:Cells migrate in vivo through channel-like tracks. While polydimethylsiloxane devices emulate such tracks in vitro, their channel walls are impermeable and have supraphysiological stiffness. Existing hydrogel-based platforms address these issues but cannot provide high-throughput analysis of cell motility in independently controllable stiffness and confinement. We herein develop polyacrylamide (PA)-based microchannels of physiological stiffness and prescribed dimensions for high-throughput analysis of cell migration and identify a biphasic dependence of speed upon confinement and stiffness. By utilizing novel four-walled microchannels with heterogeneous stiffness, we reveal the distinct contributions of apicolateral versus basal microchannel wall stiffness to confined versus unconfined migration. While the basal wall stiffness dictates unconfined migration, apicolateral stiffness controls confined migration. By tracking nanobeads embedded within channel walls, we innovate three-dimensional traction force measurements around spatially confining cells at subcellular resolution. Our unique and highly customizable device fabrication strategy provides a physiologically relevant in vitro platform to study confined cells.

A human genome-wide screen for regulators of clathrin-coated vesicle formation

Project description:Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is essential for a wide range of cellular functions. We used a multi- step siRNA-based screening strategy to identify novel regulators of the first step of clathrin- mediated endocytosis, formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) at the plasma membrane. A primary genome-wide screen identified 334 hits that caused accumulation of CCV cargo on the cell surface. A secondary screen identified 92 hits that inhibited cargo uptake and/or altered the morphology of clathrin-coated structures. The hits include components of four functional complexes: coat proteins, V-ATPase subunits, spliceosome-associated proteins, and acetyltransferase subunits. Electron microscopy revealed that V-ATPase depletion caused the cell to form aberrant non-constricted clathrin-coated structures at the plasma membrane. The V- ATPase knockdown phenotype was rescued by addition of exogenous cholesterol, indicating that the knockdown blocks clathrin-mediated endocytosis by preventing cholesterol from recycling from endosomes back to the plasma membrane. The microarray analysis was performed to test whether the siRNA targets are expressed in the cell lines used in the screen.

Distinct dynamics of endocytic clathrin-coated pits and coated plaques.

Project description:Clathrin is the scaffold of a conserved molecular machinery that has evolved to capture membrane patches, which then pinch off to become traffic carriers. These carriers are the principal vehicles of receptor-mediated endocytosis and are the major route of traffic from plasma membrane to endosomes. We report here the use of in vivo imaging data, obtained from spinning disk confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, to distinguish between two modes of endocytic clathrin coat formation, which we designate as "coated pits" and "coated plaques." Coated pits are small, rapidly forming structures that deform the underlying membrane by progressive recruitment of clathrin, adaptors, and other regulatory proteins. They ultimately close off and bud inward to form coated vesicles. Coated plaques are longer-lived structures with larger and less sharply curved coats; their clathrin lattices do not close off, but instead move inward from the cell surface shortly before membrane fission. Local remodeling of actin filaments is essential for the formation, inward movement, and dissolution of plaques, but it is not required for normal formation and budding of coated pits in the cells we have studied. We conclude that there are at least two distinct modes of clathrin coat formation at the plasma membrane--classical coated pits and coated plaques--and that these two assemblies interact quite differently with other intracellular structures.
