Accumulation of glucosaminyl(acyl)phosphatidylinositol in an S3 HeLa subline expressing normal dolicholphosphomannose synthase activity.

ABSTRACT: Glucosaminyl(acyl)phosphatidylinositol [GlcN(acyl)PI], the third intermediate in the mammalian glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor pathway, is undetectable in most cells. This intermediate was previously shown to accumulate, however, in murine lymphoma mutant E and in yeast mutant dpm1, both of which lack dolicholphosphomannose synthase activity. Here we report that a mammalian HeLa S3 subline, denoted D, produces large amounts of GlcN(acyl)PI. The level of GlcN(acyl)PI in this subline is twice that in the murine lymphoma mutant E and 4 times that in the parental S3 line. This HeLa D subline differs from the previously reported mutants that accumulate GlcN(acyl)PI because no defects in the synthesis or utilization of dolicholphosphomannose were found. Kinetic analysis indicated that in this HeLa subline there is an increased rate of synthesis of GlcN(acyl)PI, whereas the rate of metabolism for this GPI is comparable to that in wild-type cells. Furthermore, HeLa D cells accumulate GlcN(acyl)PI without a block in the synthesis of the downstream mannosylated GPI anchor precursors and GPI-anchored proteins. These findings might be relevant for understanding the regulation of the GPI pathway.

Metabolism of exogenous sn-1-alkyl-sn-2-lyso-glucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol in HeLa D cells: accumulation of glucosaminyl(acyl)phosphatidylinositol in a metabolically inert compartment.

Project description:The somatic genetic defect in paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) involves a block in the transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to phosphatidylinositol (PI), the first step in the biosynthetic pathway for glycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs). We asked whether an exogenous lipid corresponding to an early intermediate in this pathway can be taken up by cells in culture and proceed through the GPI pathway. This approach could offer a strategy to bypass the block in PNH. To address this question we incubated HeLa D cells with sn-1-alkyl-sn-2-lyso-GlcN-[(3)H]PI (lyso-alkyl-GlcN-[(3)H]PI) for 24 h and analysed the cellular lipids. We found three lipid products: unaltered lyso-alkyl-GlcN-[(3)H]PI, GlcN-[(3)H]PI and GlcN(acyl)[(3)H]PI (GlcN-PI with a fatty acid acyl group on inositol). Since the latter two lipids are intermediates in the GPI biosynthetic pathway, this observation demonstrates that an exogenous lipid can enter and proceed partially through this pathway. However, the conversion of GlcN(acyl)PI to downstream mannosylated GPI intermediates in the GPI pathway was inefficient, both for GlcN(acyl)PI produced from the exogenous lipid as well as from that obtained by metabolic labelling with [(3)H]inositol. We investigated this poor conversion by examining whether GlcN(acyl)PI, radioactively labelled sequentially by [(14)C]inositol and [(3)H]inositol, resided in one compartment and could be readily metabolized to downstream intermediates. Isotope ratios indicated that the turnover of GlcN(acyl)PI was slower than those of either downstream mannosylated GPIs or even GPI anchors on proteins, the final products of GPI pathway. This result is incompatible with the one-compartment model and indicates that GlcN(acyl)PI in HeLa D cells accumulates largely in a compartment that is inert to subsequent mannosylation.

Bisquinolinium compounds induce quadruplex-specific transcriptome changes in HeLa S3 cell lines.

Project description:BackgroundGuanosine rich sequences capable of forming G-quadruplex (G4) motifs are enriched near the gene transcription start site (TSS) in the human genome. When probed at the single gene level, G-quadruplex motifs residing in promoter regions show substantial effects on gene transcription. Moreover, further changes in transcription levels are noticed when G4-motifs are targeted with G-quadruplex-specific small molecules.ResultsGlobal studies concerning general changes of the transcriptome via targeting promoter-based G-quadruplex motifs are very limited and have so far only been carried out with compounds displaying weak selectivity for quadruplex sequences. Here we utilize two G-quadruplex-specific bisquinolinium derivatives PhenDC3 and 360A and investigate their effects on the expression of the HeLa S3 transcriptome. Our results show wide-spread changes in the transcriptome with specificity for genes with G-quadruplex motifs near their transcription start sites (TSS). Using real-time PCR we further confirmed the specificity of PhenDC3 and 360A as potent molecules to target G-quadruplex-regulated genes.ConclusionsSpecific effects on quadruplex-containing genes have been observed utilizing whole-transcriptome analysis upon treatment of cultured cells with quadruplex-selective bisquinolinium compounds.

Enhanced toxic metal accumulation in engineered bacterial cells expressing Arabidopsis thaliana phytochelatin synthase.

Project description:Phytochelatins (PCs) are metal-binding cysteine-rich peptides, enzymatically synthesized in plants and yeasts from glutathione in response to heavy metal stress by PC synthase (EC 2.3.2.15). In an attempt to increase the ability of bacterial cells to accumulate heavy metals, the Arabidopsis thaliana gene encoding PC synthase (AtPCS) was expressed in Escherichia coli. A marked accumulation of PCs was observed in vivo together with a decrease in the glutathione cellular content. When bacterial cells expressing AtPCS were placed in the presence of heavy metals such as cadmium or the metalloid arsenic, cellular metal contents were increased 20- and 50-fold, respectively. We discuss the possibility of using genes of the PC biosynthetic pathway to design bacterial strains or higher plants with increased abilities to accumulate toxic metals, and also arsenic, for use in bioremediation and/or phytoremediation processes.

Correlation between DNase I hypersensitive site distribution and gene expression in HeLa S3 cells.

Project description:Mapping DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) within nuclear chromatin is a traditional and powerful method of identifying genetic regulatory elements. DHSs have been mapped by capturing the ends of long DNase I-cut fragments (>100,000 bp), or 100-1200 bp DNase I-double cleavage fragments (also called double-hit fragments). But next generation sequencing requires a DNA library containing DNA fragments of 100-500 bp. Therefore, we used short DNA fragments released by DNase I digestion to generate DNA libraries for next generation sequencing. The short segments are 100-300 bp and can be directly cloned and used for high-throughput sequencing. We identified 83,897 DHSs in 2,343,479 tags across the human genome. Our results indicate that the DHSs identified by this DHS assay are consistent with those identified by longer fragments in previous studies. We also found: (1) the distribution of DHSs in promoter and other gene regions of similarly expressed genes differs among different chromosomes; (2) silenced genes had a more open chromatin structure than previously thought; (3) DHSs in 3'untranslated regions (3'UTRs) are negatively correlated with level of gene expression.

p53 mutations change phosphatidylinositol acyl chain composition.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) second messengers relay extracellular growth cues through the phosphorylation status of the inositol sugar, a signal transduction system that is deregulated in cancer. In stark contrast to PIP inositol head-group phosphorylation, changes in phosphatidylinositol (PI) lipid acyl chains in cancer have remained ill-defined. Here, we apply a mass-spectrometry-based method capable of unbiased high-throughput identification and quantification of cellular PI acyl chain composition. Using this approach, we find that PI lipid chains represent a cell-specific fingerprint and are unperturbed by serum-mediated signaling in contrast to the inositol head group. We find that mutation of Trp53 results in PIs containing reduced-length fatty acid moieties. Our results suggest that the anchoring tails of lipid second messengers form an additional layer of PIP signaling in cancer that operates independently of PTEN/PI3-kinase activity but is instead linked to p53.

Heterologous acyl-homoserine lactone synthase expression in Pseudomonas putida

Project description:Many bacteria harbor an incomplete quorum sensing system, wherein they possess LuxR homologues without the quorum sensing acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) synthase, which is encoded by a luxI homolog. An artificial AHL-producing plasmid was constructed using a cviI gene encoding for C6-AHL (HHL) synthase from Chromobacterium violaceum and was introduced successfully into both wild-type and the ppoR (a luxR homolog) mutant. Our data provides evidence to suggest that the PpoR-HHL complex, but neither PpoR nor HHL alone, could attenuate growth, antibiotic resistance, and biofilm formation ability. In contrast, swimming motility, siderophore production, and indole degradation were enhanced by PpoR-HHL. The addition of exogenous indole increased biofilm formation and reduce swimming motility. Interestingly, indole proved ineffective in the presence of PpoR-HHL, thereby suggesting that the PpoR-HHL complex masks the effects of indole. Our data was supported by transcriptome analyses showing that the presence of the plasmid-encoded AHL synthase altered the expression of many genes on the chromosome in strain KT2440. Our results showed that heterologous luxI expression occurring via horizontal gene transfer can regulate a broad range of specific target genes, resulting in alterations of the phenotype and physiology of host cells.
