Proteasome activators, PA28? and PA200, play indispensable roles in male fertility.

ABSTRACT: Protein degradation mediated by the proteasome is important for the protein homeostasis. Various proteasome activators, such as PA28 and PA200, regulate the proteasome function. Here we show double knockout (dKO) mice of Psme3 and Psme4 (genes for PA28? and PA200), but not each single knockout mice, are completely infertile in male. The dKO sperms exhibited remarkable defects in motility, although most of them showed normal appearance in morphology. The proteasome activity of the mutant sperms decreased notably, and the sperms were strongly positive with ubiquitin staining. Quantitative analyses of proteins expressed in dKO sperms revealed up-regulation of several proteins involved in oxidative stress response. Furthermore, increased 8-OHdG staining was observed in dKO sperms head, suggesting defective response to oxidative damage. This report verified PA28? and PA200 play indispensable roles in male fertility, and provides a novel insight into the role of proteasome activators in antioxidant response.

HSP70 and APX1 play important roles in cotton male fertility

Project description:Male sterility is used in the production of hybrid seeds of several crops and can effectively improve the breeding efficiency of cotton hybrids. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is closely associated with the tapetum and pollen development, but their relationship in cotton male fertility remains unclear. In this study, we comprehensively compared the cytology and proteomics of the anthers from an Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) material, Shida 98 (WT), and its nearly-isogenic male sterile line Shida 98A (MS). Cytological observations indicated delayed PCD in the tapetum and defects in microspore development in MS anthers. Further results revealed that the ROS homeostasis in MS anthers was disrupted. Proteomic results showed that proteins differentially expressed between WT and MS anthers were mainly related to redox homeostasis, protein folding, and apoptotic signaling pathways. HSP70 and APX1 were identified as the two key proteins during cotton anther development. Exogenous application of HSP70 inhibitor increased the level of H2O2 and decreased the activity of APX1 and pollen viability in anthers. Altogether, the proteomics results imply HSP70 and APX1 being the key players jointly regulating tapetal PCD and pollen development by mediating ROS homeostasis. These results provide insights into the proteins associated with male fertility in cotton.

Microbial communities play important roles in modulating paddy soil fertility.

Project description:We studied microbial communities in two paddy soils, which did not receive nitrogen fertilization and were distinguished by the soil properties. The two microbial communities differed in the relative abundance of gram-negative bacteria and total microbial biomass. Variability in microbial communities between the two fields was related to the levels of phosphorus and soil moisture. Redundancy analysis for individual soils showed that the bacterial community dynamics in the high-yield soil were significantly correlated with total carbon, moisture, available potassium, and pH, and those in the low-yield cores were shaped by pH, and nitrogen factors. Biolog Eco-plate data showed a more active microbial community in the high yield soil. The variations of enzymatic activities in the two soils were significantly explained by total nitrogen, total potassium, and moisture. The enzymatic variability in the low-yield soil was significantly explained by potassium, available nitrogen, pH, and total carbon, and that in the high-yield soil was partially explained by potassium and moisture. We found the relative abundances of Gram-negative bacteria and Actinomycetes partially explained the spatial and temporal variations of soil enzymatic activities, respectively. The high-yield soil microbes are probably more active to modulate soil fertility for rice production.

PA28?: New Insights on an Ancient Proteasome Activator.

Project description:PA28 (also known as 11S, REG or PSME) is a family of proteasome regulators whose members are widely present in many of the eukaryotic supergroups. In jawed vertebrates they are represented by three paralogs, PA28?, PA28?, and PA28?, which assemble as heptameric hetero (PA28??) or homo (PA28?) rings on one or both extremities of the 20S proteasome cylindrical structure. While they share high sequence and structural similarities, the three isoforms significantly differ in terms of their biochemical and biological properties. In fact, PA28? and PA28? seem to have appeared more recently and to have evolved very rapidly to perform new functions that are specifically aimed at optimizing the process of MHC class I antigen presentation. In line with this, PA28?? favors release of peptide products by proteasomes and is particularly suited to support adaptive immune responses without, however, affecting hydrolysis rates of protein substrates. On the contrary, PA28? seems to be a slow-evolving gene that is most similar to the common ancestor of the PA28 activators family, and very likely retains its original functions. Notably, PA28? has a prevalent nuclear localization and is involved in the regulation of several essential cellular processes including cell growth and proliferation, apoptosis, chromatin structure and organization, and response to DNA damage. In striking contrast with the activity of PA28??, most of these diverse biological functions of PA28? seem to depend on its ability to markedly enhance degradation rates of regulatory protein by 20S proteasome. The present review will focus on the molecular mechanisms and biochemical properties of PA28?, which are likely to account for its various and complex biological functions and highlight the common features with the PA28?? paralog.

The male germline-specific protein MAPS is indispensable for pachynema progression and fertility.

Project description:Meiosis is a specialized cell division that creates haploid germ cells from diploid progenitors. Through differential RNA expression analyses, we previously identified a number of mouse genes that were dramatically elevated in spermatocytes, relative to their very low expression in spermatogonia and somatic organs. Here, we investigated in detail 1700102P08Rik, one of these genes, and independently conclude that it encodes a male germline-specific protein, in agreement with a recent report. We demonstrated that it is essential for pachynema progression in spermatocytes and named it male pachynema-specific (MAPS) protein. Mice lacking Maps (Maps-/- ) suffered from pachytene arrest and spermatocyte death, leading to male infertility, whereas female fertility was not affected. Interestingly, pubertal Maps-/- spermatocytes were arrested at early pachytene stage, accompanied by defects in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, crossover formation, and XY body formation. In contrast, adult Maps-/- spermatocytes only exhibited partially defective crossover but nonetheless were delayed or failed in progression from early to mid- and late pachytene stage, resulting in cell death. Furthermore, we report a significant transcriptional dysregulation in autosomes and XY chromosomes in both pubertal and adult Maps-/- pachytene spermatocytes, including failed meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI). Further experiments revealed that MAPS overexpression in vitro dramatically decreased the ubiquitination levels of cellular proteins. Conversely, in Maps-/- pachytene cells, protein ubiquitination was dramatically increased, likely contributing to the large-scale disruption in gene expression in pachytene cells. Thus, MAPS is a protein essential for pachynema progression in male mice, possibly in mammals in general.

Cryo-EM of mammalian PA28??-iCP immunoproteasome reveals a distinct mechanism of proteasome activation by PA28??.

Project description:The proteasome activator PA28?? affects MHC class I antigen presentation by associating with immunoproteasome core particles (iCPs). However, due to the lack of a mammalian PA28??-iCP structure, how PA28?? regulates proteasome remains elusive. Here we present the complete architectures of the mammalian PA28??-iCP immunoproteasome and free iCP at near atomic-resolution by cryo-EM, and determine the spatial arrangement between PA28?? and iCP through XL-MS. Our structures reveal a slight leaning of PA28?? towards the ?3-?4 side of iCP, disturbing the allosteric network of the gatekeeper ?2/3/4 subunits, resulting in a partial open iCP gate. We find that the binding and activation mechanism of iCP by PA28?? is distinct from those of constitutive CP by the homoheptameric TbPA26 or PfPA28. Our study sheds lights on the mechanism of enzymatic activity stimulation of immunoproteasome and suggests that PA28??-iCP has experienced profound remodeling during evolution to achieve its current level of function in immune response.

PA28 and the proteasome immunosubunits play a central and independent role in the production of MHC class I-binding peptides in vivo.

Project description:Proteasomes play a fundamental role in the processing of intracellular antigens into peptides that bind to MHC class I molecules for the presentation of CD8(+) T cells. Three IFN-?-inducible catalytic proteasome (immuno)subunits as well as the IFN-?-inducible proteasome activator PA28 dramatically accelerate the generation of a subset of MHC class I-presented antigenic peptides. To determine whether these IFN-?-inducible proteasome components play a compounded role in antigen processing, we generated mice lacking both PA28 and immunosubunits ?5i/LMP7 and ?2i/MECL-1. Analyses of MHC class I cell-surface levels ex vivo demonstrated that PA28 deficiency reduced the production of MHC class I-binding peptides both in cells with and without immunosubunits, in the latter cells further decreasing an already diminished production of MHC ligands in the absence of immunoproteasomes. In contrast, the immunosubunits but not PA28 appeared to be of critical importance for the induction of CD8(+) T-cell responses to multiple dominant Influenza and Listeria-derived epitopes. Taken together, our data demonstrate that PA28 and the proteasome immunosubunits use fundamentally different mechanisms to enhance the supply of MHC class I-binding peptides; however, only the immunosubunit-imposed effects on proteolytic epitope processing appear to have substantial influence on the specificity of pathogen-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses.

The immunoproteasome, the 20S proteasome and the PA28?? proteasome regulator are oxidative-stress-adaptive proteolytic complexes.

Project description:Oxidized cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins are normally degraded by the proteasome, but accumulate with age and disease. We demonstrate the importance of various forms of the proteasome during transient (reversible) adaptation (hormesis), to oxidative stress in murine embryonic fibroblasts. Adaptation was achieved by 'pre-treatment' with very low concentrations of H2O2, and tested by measuring inducible resistance to a subsequent much higher 'challenge' dose of H2O2. Following an initial direct physical activation of pre-existing proteasomes, the 20S proteasome, immunoproteasome and PA28?? regulator all exhibited substantially increased de novo synthesis during adaptation over 24 h. Cellular capacity to degrade oxidatively damaged proteins increased with 20S proteasome, immunoproteasome and PA28?? synthesis, and was mostly blocked by the 20S proteasome, immunoproteasome and PA28 siRNA (short interfering RNA) knockdown treatments. Additionally, PA28??-knockout mutants achieved only half of the H2O2-induced adaptive increase in proteolytic capacity of wild-type controls. Direct comparison of purified 20S proteasome and immunoproteasome demonstrated that the immunoproteasome can selectively degrade oxidized proteins. Cell proliferation and DNA replication both decreased, and oxidized proteins accumulated, during high H2O2 challenge, but prior H2O2 adaptation was protective. Importantly, siRNA knockdown of the 20S proteasome, immunoproteasome or PA28?? regulator blocked 50-100% of these adaptive increases in cell division and DNA replication, and immunoproteasome knockdown largely abolished protection against protein oxidation.

Downregulation of PA28? induces proteasome remodeling and results in resistance to proteasome inhibitors in multiple myeloma

Project description:Protein homeostasis is critical for maintaining eukaryotic cell function as well as responses to intrinsic and extrinsic stress. The proteasome is a major portion of the proteolytic machinery in mammalian cells and plays an important role in protein homeostasis. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy with high production of immunoglobulins and is especially sensitive to treatments that impact protein catabolism. Therapeutic agents such as proteasome inhibitors have demonstrated significant benefit for myeloma patients in all treatment phases. Here, we demonstrate that the 11S proteasome activator PA28? is upregulated in MM cells and is key for myeloma cell growth and proliferation. PA28? also regulates MM cell sensitivity to proteasome inhibitors. Downregulation of PA28? inhibits both proteasomal load and activity, resulting in a change in protein homeostasis less dependent on the proteasome and leads to cell resistance to proteasome inhibitors. Thus, our findings suggest an important role of PA28? in MM biology, and also provides a new approach for targeting the ubiquitin-proteasome system and ultimately sensitivity to proteasome inhibitors.

Circular RNAs from BOULE play conserved roles in protection against stress-induced fertility decline.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a large family of newly identified transcripts, and their physiological roles and evolutionary significance require further characterization. Here, we identify circRNAs generated from a conserved reproductive gene, Boule, in species from Drosophila to humans. Flies missing circular Boule (circBoule) RNAs display decreased male fertility, and sperm of circBoule knockout mice exhibit decreased fertilization capacity, when under heat stress conditions. During spermatogenesis, fly circBoule RNAs interact with heat shock proteins (HSPs) Hsc4 and Hsp60C, and mouse circBoule RNAs in sperm interact with HSPA2. circBoule RNAs regulate levels of HSPs by promoting their ubiquitination. The interaction between HSPA2 and circBoule RNAs is conserved in human sperm, and lower levels of the human circBoule RNAs circEx3-6 and circEx2-7 are found in asthenozoospermic sperm. Our findings reveal conserved physiological functions of circBoule RNAs in metazoans and suggest that specific circRNAs may be critical modulators of male reproductive function against stresses in animals.

PIP30/FAM192A is a novel regulator of the nuclear proteasome activator PA28?.

Project description:PA28? is a nuclear activator of the 20S proteasome involved in the regulation of several essential cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, nuclear dynamics, and cellular stress response. Unlike the 19S regulator of the proteasome, which specifically recognizes ubiquitylated proteins, PA28? promotes the degradation of several substrates by the proteasome in an ATP- and ubiquitin-independent manner. However, its exact mechanisms of action are unclear and likely involve additional partners that remain to be identified. Here we report the identification of a cofactor of PA28?, PIP30/FAM192A. PIP30 binds directly and specifically via its C-terminal end and in an interaction stabilized by casein kinase 2 phosphorylation to both free and 20S proteasome-associated PA28?. Its recruitment to proteasome-containing complexes depends on PA28? and its expression increases the association of PA28? with the 20S proteasome in cells. Further dissection of its possible roles shows that PIP30 alters PA28?-dependent activation of peptide degradation by the 20S proteasome in vitro and negatively controls in cells the presence of PA28? in Cajal bodies by inhibition of its association with the key Cajal body component coilin. Taken together, our data show that PIP30 deeply affects PA28? interactions with cellular proteins, including the 20S proteasome, demonstrating that it is an important regulator of PA28? in cells and thus a new player in the control of the multiple functions of the proteasome within the nucleus.
