The Podospora rmp1 gene implicated in nucleus-mitochondria cross-talk encodes an essential protein whose subcellular location is developmentally regulated.

ABSTRACT: It has been previously reported that, at the time of death, the Podospora anserina AS1-4 mutant strains accumulate specific deleted forms of the mitochondrial genome and that their life spans depend on two natural alleles (variants) of the rmp1 gene: AS1-4 rmp1-2 strains exhibit life spans strikingly longer than those of AS1-4 rmp1-1. Here, we show that rmp1 is an essential gene. In silico analyses of eight rmp1 natural alleles present in Podospora isolates and of the putative homologs of this orphan gene in other filamentous fungi suggest that rmp1 evolves rapidly. The RMP1 protein is localized in the mitochondrial and/or the cytosolic compartment, depending on cell type and developmental stage. Strains producing RMP1 without its mitochondrial targeting peptide are viable but exhibit vegetative and sexual defects.

Subcellular location defines GPCR signal transduction

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors in intracellular organelles can be activated in response to membrane permeant ligands, which contributes to the diversity and specificity of agonist action. The opioid receptors (ORs) provide a striking example, where small molecule opioid drugs activate ORs in the Golgi apparatus within seconds of drug addition. To date, our knowledge on the signaling of intracellular GPCRs remains incomplete and it is unknown if the downstream events triggered by ORs in plasma membrane and Golgi apparatus differ. To address this gap, we analyzed OR-mediated gene expression changes upon treatment with impermeant peptide ligand DPDPE, permeant ligand SNC80 or ICI-SNC80 (Golgi-restricted signaling). We show that DOR activation in the Golgi does not trigger any gene transcription at these two time points as compare to plasma membrane receptors. The study delineates OR signal transduction with unprecedented resolution and reveals that the subcellular location defines the signaling effect promoted by opioid drugs.

Mitochondria in cancer metabolism, an organelle whose time has come?

Project description:Mitochondria have long been controversial organelles in cancer. Early discoveries in cancer metabolism placed much emphasis on cytosolic contributions. Initial debate focused on if mitochondria had a role in cancer formation and progression at all. More recently the contributions of mitochondria to cancer development and progression have become firmly established. This has led to the identification of novel targets and inhibitors being studied as new therapeutic approaches. This review will summarize the role of mitochondria in cancer and highlight several agents under development.

Tissue-specificity, functional characterization and subcellular localization of a rat ubiquitin-specific processing protease, UBP109, whose mRNA expression is developmentally regulated.

Project description:A cDNA encoding an ubiquitin-specific processing protease, UBP109, in rat skeletal muscle was cloned and its product was characterized. Northern analysis revealed that UBP109 mRNA is highly expressed in testis and spleen, compared with other tissues. Furthermore, in situ hybridization showed that the level of UBP109 mRNA in liver, spinal cord and brain dramatically changed during embryonic development, indicating that the expression of UBP109 mRNA is developmentally regulated. UBP109 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to apparent homogeneity using a (125)I-labelled ubiquitin-peptide fusion as a substrate. The purified enzyme cleaved at the C-terminus of the ubiquitin moiety in natural and engineered fusions irrespective of their sizes. UBP109 also released free ubiquitin from poly-His-tagged penta-ubiquitin. Moreover, it released free ubiquitin from poly-ubiquitinated protein conjugates of rabbit reticulocytes. In addition, UBP109 localized to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus and, among three putative nuclear localization sequences, only the one located near the C-terminus is responsible for nuclear localization. These results suggest that UBP109 may play an important role in generation of free ubiquitin from its precursors and its recycling from poly-ubiquitinated protein conjugates, and hence in regulation of ubiquitin-mediated cellular processes, particularly related to embryonic development.

Dictyostelium discoideum developmentally regulated genes whose expression is dependent on MADS box transcription factor SrfA.

Project description:The MADS box transcription factor SrfA is required for spore differentiation in Dictyostelium discoideum. srfA null strains form rounded spores that do not resist adverse environmental conditions. Five genes whose expression is dependent on SrfA have been isolated by differential hybridization. One of these genes, sigC, is identical to phg1b, previously characterized in mutants with altered adhesive properties and found to encode a nine-transmembrane-domain protein. This gene is transcribed into two mRNAs as the result of alternative splicing of two internal exons. The slower-migrating mRNA codes for a shorter protein that lacks the first transmembrane fragment and is not expressed in srfA null strains. The other four genes (sigA, sigB, sigD, and 45D) are expressed only during late developmental stages. In situ hybridization experiments showed that expression of sigA, sigB, and sigD is restricted to the sorus of developing structures. sigA codes for a homologue of malate dehydrogenase that converts pyruvate to malate to replenish the tricarboxylic acid cycle. sigB encodes a protein with significant similarity to the GP63 metalloproteinase of Leishmania, leishmanolysin. The sequence of SigD is highly similar to that of several spore coat proteins of D. discoideum, and it may play a role in that structure. The gene 45D codes for an RNA-binding protein homologue whose expression is also dependent on the GATA transcription factor stalky (StkA). The expression of sigB is also dependent on both SrfA and StkA. The expression of 45D, but not of sigA, sigB, sigC, and sigD, can be induced in srfA null cells by constitutive protein kinase A activation. Strains in which either sigA, sigB, or sigD is disrupted were isolated and found to form spores that are not detectably different from those of wild-type strains.

Consistency and variation of protein subcellular location annotations.

Project description:A major challenge for protein databases is reconciling information from diverse sources. This is especially difficult when some information consists of secondary, human-interpreted rather than primary data. For example, the Swiss-Prot database contains curated annotations of subcellular location that are based on predictions from protein sequence, statements in scientific articles, and published experimental evidence. The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) consists of millions of high-resolution microscopic images that show protein spatial distribution on a cellular and subcellular level. These images are manually annotated with protein subcellular locations by trained experts. The image annotations in HPA can capture the variation of subcellular location across different cell lines, tissues, or tissue states. Systematic investigation of the consistency between HPA and Swiss-Prot assignments of subcellular location, which is important for understanding and utilizing protein location data from the two databases, has not been described previously. In this paper, we quantitatively evaluate the consistency of subcellular location annotations between HPA and Swiss-Prot at multiple levels, as well as variation of protein locations across cell lines and tissues. Our results show that annotations of these two databases differ significantly in many cases, leading to proposed procedures for deriving and integrating the protein subcellular location data. We also find that proteins having highly variable locations are more likely to be biomarkers of diseases, providing support for incorporating analysis of subcellular location in protein biomarker identification and screening.

Subcellular Singlet Oxygen and Cell Death: Location Matters.

Project description:We developed a tool for targeted generation of singlet oxygen using light activation of a genetically encoded fluorogen-activating protein complexed with a unique dye molecule that becomes a potent photosensitizer upon interaction with the protein. By targeting the protein receptor to activate this dye in distinct subcellular locations at consistent per-cell concentrations, we investigated the impact of localized production of singlet oxygen on induction of cell death. We analyzed light dose-dependent cytotoxic response and characterized the apoptotic vs. necrotic cell death as a function of subcellular location, including the nucleus, the cytosol, the endoplasmic reticulum, the mitochondria, and the membrane. We find that different subcellular origins of singlet oxygen have different potencies in cytotoxic response and the pathways of cell death, and we observed that CT26 and HEK293 cell lines are differentially sensitive to mitochondrially localized singlet oxygen stresses. This work provides new insight into the function of type II reactive oxygen generating photosensitizing processes in inducing targeted cell death and raises interesting mechanistic questions about tolerance and survival mechanisms in studies of oxidative stress in clonal cell populations.

To address this gap, we analyzed OR-mediated phosphorylation changes in cells treated with SNC80 (signaling control) or ICI-SNC80 (Golgi-restricted signaling) for 5 min or 25 min. We show that OR activation in the plasma membrane or Golgi apparatus have strikingly different downstream effects on protein phosphorylation. The study delineates OR signal transduction with unprecedented resolution and reveals that the subcellular location defines the signaling effect promoted by opioid drugs.

Subcellular profiling reveals distinct and developmentally regulated repertoire of growth cone mRNAs.

Project description:Cue-directed axon guidance depends partly on local translation in growth cones. Many mRNA transcripts are known to reside in developing axons, yet little is known about their subcellular distribution or, specifically, which transcripts are in growth cones. Here laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate the growth cones of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons of two vertebrate species, mouse and Xenopus, coupled with unbiased genomewide microarray profiling. An unexpectedly large pool of mRNAs defined predominant pathways in protein synthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, cancer, neurological disease, and signaling. Comparative profiling of "young" (pathfinding) versus "old" (target-arriving) Xenopus growth cones revealed that the number and complexity of transcripts increases dramatically with age. Many presynaptic protein mRNAs are present exclusively in old growth cones, suggesting that functionally related sets of mRNAs are targeted to growth cones in a developmentally regulated way. Remarkably, a subset of mRNAs was significantly enriched in the growth cone compared with the axon compartment, indicating that mechanisms exist to localize mRNAs selectively to the growth cone. Furthermore, some receptor transcripts (e.g., EphB4), present exclusively in old growth cones, were equally abundant in young and old cell bodies, indicating that RNA trafficking from the soma is developmentally regulated. Our findings show that the mRNA repertoire in growth cones is regulated dynamically with age and suggest that mRNA localization is tailored to match the functional demands of the growing axon tip as it transforms into the presynaptic terminal.

hMSH5 is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein whose stability depends on its subcellular localization.

Project description:MSH5 is a MutS-homologous protein required for meiotic DNA recombination. In addition, recent studies suggest that the human MSH5 protein (hMSH5) participates to mitotic recombination and to the cellular response to DNA damage and thus raise the possibility that a tight control of hMSH5 function(s) may be important for genomic stability. With the aim to characterize mechanisms potentially involved in the regulation of hMSH5 activity, we investigated its intracellular trafficking properties. We demonstrate that hMSH5 possesses a CRM1-dependent nuclear export signal (NES) and a nuclear localization signal that participates to its nuclear targeting. Localization analysis of various mutated forms of hMSH5 by confocal microscopy indicates that hMSH5 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. We also provide evidence suggesting that hMSH5 stability depends on its subcellular compartmentalization, hMSH5 being much less stable in the nucleus than in the cytoplasm. Together, these data suggest that hMSH5 activity may be regulated by nucleocytoplasmic shuttling and nuclear proteasomal degradation, both of these mechanisms contributing to the control of nuclear hMSH5 content. Moreover, data herein also support that in tissues where both hMSH5 and hMSH4 proteins are expressed, hMSH5 might be retained in the nucleus through masking of its NES by binding of hMSH4.
