The proximity-based protein interactome and regulatory logics of the transcription factor p65 NF-kappaB / RELA

ABSTRACT: The protein interactome of p65 / RELA, the most active subunit of the transcription factor (TF) NF-kappaB, has not been previously determined in living cells. Using p65-miniTurbo fusion proteins and biotin tagging, we identify > 350 RELA interactors from untreated and IL-1α-stimulated cells, including many TFs (47 % of all interactors) and > 50 epigenetic regulators belonging to different classes of chromatin remodeling complexes. A comparison with the interactomes of two point mutants of p65 reveals that the interactions primarily require intact dimerization rather than DNA binding properties. A targeted RNAi screen for 38 interactors and subsequent functional transcriptome and bioinformatics studies identify gene regulatory (sub)networks, each controlled by RELA in combination with one of the TFs ZBTB5, GLIS2, TFE3 / TFEB or S100A8 / A9. The large, dynamic and versatile high resolution interactome of RELA and its gene-regulatory logics provides a rich resource and a new framework for explaining how RELA cooperativity determines gene expression patterns.

Thr435 phosphorylation regulates RelA (p65) NF-kappaB subunit transactivation.

Project description:Phosphorylation of the RelA (p65) NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) subunit has been previously shown to modulate its ability to induce or repress transcription. In the present study we have investigated the consequences of Thr435 phosphorylation within the C-terminal transactivation domain of RelA. We confirm that Thr435 is phosphorylated in cells and is induced by TNFalpha (tumour necrosis factor alpha) treatment. Mutational analysis of this site revealed gene-specific effects on transcription, with a T435D phosphomimetic mutant significantly enhancing Cxcl2 (CXC chemokine ligand 2) mRNA levels in reconstituted Rela-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that this mutation results in enhanced levels of histone acetylation associated with decreased recruitment of HDAC1 (histone deacetylase 1). Moreover, mutation of this site disrupted RelA interaction with HDAC1 in vitro. Thr435 phosphorylation of promoter-bound RelA was also detected at NF-kappaB target genes following TNFalpha treatment in wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Phosphorylation at this site therefore provides an additional mechanism through which the specificity of NF-kappaB transcriptional activity can be modulated in cells.

Cleavage of p65/RelA of the NF-kappaB pathway by Chlamydia.

Project description:Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterial pathogen that infects the eyes and urogenital tract. Ocular infection by this organism is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. The infection is also a leading cause of sexually transmitted disease in the United States. As obligate intracellular pathogens, chlamydiae have evolved sophisticated, yet undefined, mechanisms to maintain a favorable habitat for intracellular growth while avoiding harm to the host. We show here that chlamydiae have the ability to interfere with the NF-kappaB pathway of host inflammatory response. We found that Chlamydia infection did not promote IkappaBalpha degradation, a prerequisite for NF-kappaB nuclear translocation/activation, nor induce p65/RelA nuclear redistribution. Instead, it caused p65 cleavage into an N terminus-derived p40 fragment and a p22 of the C terminus. The activity was specific because no protein cleavage or degradation of NF-kappaB pathway components was detected. Moreover, murine p65 protein was resistant to cleavage by both human and mouse biovars. The chlamydial protein that selectively cleaved p65 was identified as a tail-specific protease (CT441). Importantly, expression of either this protease or the p40 cleavage product could block NF-kappaB activation. A hallmark of chlamydial STD is its asymptomatic nature, although inflammatory cellular response and chronic inflammation are among the underlying mechanisms. The data presented here demonstrate that chlamydiae have the ability to convert a regulatory molecule of host inflammatory response to a dominant negative inhibitor of the same pathway potentially to minimize inflammation.

Mouse livers lacking NF-kappaB RelA (p65) during bacteremia

Project description:Using a mouse model with hepatocyte-specific deletion of transcription factor NF-κB RelA (p65), our group has previously revealed the important role of RelA in inducing the acute phase response, maintaining host defense, and preventing liver injury during sepsis. To goal of this study was determine the influence of RelA on hepatic gene changes that provide liver protection during infection. Mice were generated with functional deletion of NF-kappaB RelA (p56) in hepatocytes using a Cre-LoxP system. Mutant mice expressed Cre-recombinase under the transcriptional control of an albumin promotor and homozygous floxed RelA alleles. Wild type control mice lack the Cre-recombinase. Microarray analysis was performed on liver RNA collected from both genotypes of mice in the absence and presence of pneumococcal bacteremia.

Requirement of the NF-kappaB subunit p65/RelA for K-Ras-induced lung tumorigenesis.

Project description:K-Ras-induced lung cancer is a very common disease, for which there are currently no effective therapies. Because therapy directly targeting the activity of oncogenic Ras has been unsuccessful, a different approach for novel therapy design is to identify critical Ras downstream oncogenic targets. Given that oncogenic Ras proteins activate the transcription factor NF-kappaB, and the importance of NF-kappaB in oncogenesis, we hypothesized that NF-kappaB would be an important K-Ras target in lung cancer. To address this hypothesis, we generated a NF-kappaB-EGFP reporter mouse model of K-Ras-induced lung cancer and determined that K-Ras activates NF-kappaB in lung tumors in situ. Furthermore, a mouse model was generated where activation of oncogenic K-Ras in lung cells was coupled with inactivation of the NF-kappaB subunit p65/RelA. In this model, deletion of p65/RelA reduces the number of K-Ras-induced lung tumors both in the presence and in the absence of the tumor suppressor p53. Lung tumors with loss of p65/RelA have higher numbers of apoptotic cells, reduced spread, and lower grade. Using lung cell lines expressing oncogenic K-Ras, we show that NF-kappaB is activated in these cells in a K-Ras-dependent manner and that NF-kappaB activation by K-Ras requires inhibitor of kappaB kinase beta (IKKbeta) kinase activity. Taken together, these results show the importance of the NF-kappaB subunit p65/RelA in K-Ras-induced lung transformation and identify IKKbeta as a potential therapeutic target for K-Ras-induced lung cancer.

NF-kappaB RelA phosphorylation regulates RelA acetylation.

Project description:The nuclear functions of NF-kappaB p50/RelA heterodimers are regulated in part by posttranslational modifications of its RelA subunit, including phosphorylation and acetylation. Acetylation at lysines 218, 221, and 310 differentially regulates RelA's DNA binding activity, assembly with IkappaBalpha, and transcriptional activity. However, it remains unclear whether the acetylation is regulated or simply due to stimulus-coupled nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. Using anti-acetylated lysine 310 RelA antibodies, we detected p300-mediated acetylation of RelA in vitro and in vivo after stimulation of cells with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Coexpression of catalytically inactive mutants of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A/mitogen- and stress-activated kinase 1 or IKK1/IKK2, which phosphorylate RelA on serine 276 or serine 536, respectively, sharply inhibited RelA acetylation on lysine 310. Furthermore, phosphorylation of RelA on serine 276 or serine 536 increased assembly of phospho-RelA with p300, which enhanced acetylation on lysine 310. Reconstitution of RelA-deficient murine embryonic fibroblasts with RelA S276A or RelA S536A decreased TNF-alpha-induced acetylation of lysine 310 and expression of the endogenous NF-kappaB-responsive E-selectin gene. These findings indicate that the acetylation of RelA at lysine 310 is importantly regulated by prior phosphorylation of serines 276 and 536. Such phosphorylated and acetylated forms of RelA display enhanced transcriptional activity.

Expression data from mouse livers lacking NF-kappaB RelA (p65) during pneumonia

Project description:A common response to physiological duress is the hepatic acute phase response, a process during which the expression of many genes is altered in the liver. Amongst these transcripts are those encoding acute phase proteins, defined as circulating proteins with significantly changed concentrations during an acute phase response. The goal of this study was to determine the influence of NF-kappaB RelA (p65) on hepatic gene changes including but not limited to acute phase proteins during bacterial pneumonia. Using the Cre-LoxP system, mice were generated with functional deletion of NF-kappaB RelA (p65) in hepatocytes. In mutant mice, Cre-recombinase was expressed under transcriptional control of an albumin promoter in the presence of homozygous floxed alleles for RelA. Wild-type control mice lacked the Cre-recombinase transgene. Microarray analysis was performed on liver RNA collected from both genotypes of mice in the absence and presence of pneumococcal pneumonia.

TRAF7 protein promotes Lys-29-linked polyubiquitination of IkappaB kinase (IKKgamma)/NF-kappaB essential modulator (NEMO) and p65/RelA protein and represses NF-kappaB activation.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) proteins are cytoplasmic regulatory molecules that function as signal transducers for receptors involved in both innate and adaptive humoral immune responses. In this study, we show that TRAF7, the unique noncanonical member of the TRAF family, physically associates with IκB kinase/NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) and with the RelA/p65 (p65) member of the NF-κB transcription factor family. TRAF7 promotes Lys-29-linked polyubiquitination of NEMO and p65 that results in lysosomal degradation of both proteins and altered activation. TRAF7 also influences p65 nuclear distribution. Microarray expression data are consistent with an inhibitory role for TRAF7 on NF-κB and a positive control of AP-1 transcription factor. Finally, functional data indicate that TRAF7 promotes cell death. Thus, this study identifies TRAF7 as a NEMO- and p65-interacting molecule and brings important information on the ubiquitination events that control NF-κB transcriptional activity.
