Coronaviral ORF6 protein mediates inter-organelle contacts and modulates host cell lipid flux for virus production

ABSTRACT: Lipid droplets (LDs) form inter-organelle contacts with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that promote their biogenesis, while lipid droplet contacts with mitochondria enhance β-oxidation of contained fatty acids. Viruses have been shown to take advantage of lipid droplets to promote viral production, but it remains unclear whether they also modulate the interactions between LDs and other organelles. Here, we showed that coronavirus ORF6 protein targets lipid droplets and is localized to the mitochondria-LD and ER-LD contact sites, where it regulates LD biogenesis and lipolysis. At the molecular level, we find that that ORF6 inserts into the LD lipid monolayer via its two amphipathic helices. ORF6 further interacts with ER membrane proteins BAP31 and USE1 to mediate ER-LDs contact formation. Additionally, ORF6 interacts with the SAM complex in the mitochondrial outer membrane to link mitochondria to LDs. In dong so, ORF6 promotes cellular lipolysis and lipid droplet biogenesis to reprogram host cell lipid flux and facilitate viral production

Viral Generated Inter-Organelle Contacts Redirect Lipid Flux for Genome Replication.

Project description:Positive-stranded RNA viruses extensively remodel host cell architecture to enable viral replication. Here, we examined the poorly understood formation of specialized membrane compartments that are critical sites for the synthesis of the viral genome. We show that the replication compartments (RCs) of enteroviruses are created through novel membrane contact sites that recruit host lipid droplets (LDs) to the RCs. Viral proteins tether the RCs to the LDs and interact with the host lipolysis machinery to enable transfer of fatty acids from LDs, thereby providing lipids essential for RC biogenesis. Inhibiting the formation of the membrane contact sites between LDs and RCs or inhibition of the lipolysis pathway disrupts RC biogenesis and enterovirus replication. Our data illuminate mechanistic and functional aspects of organelle remodeling in viral infection and establish that pharmacological targeting of contact sites linking viral and host compartments is a potential strategy for antiviral development.

FFAT motif phosphorylation controls formation and lipid transfer function of inter-organelle contacts.

Project description:Organelles are physically connected in membrane contact sites. The endoplasmic reticulum possesses three major receptors, VAP-A, VAP-B, and MOSPD2, which interact with proteins at the surface of other organelles to build contacts. VAP-A, VAP-B, and MOSPD2 contain an MSP domain, which binds a motif named FFAT (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract). In this study, we identified a non-conventional FFAT motif where a conserved acidic residue is replaced by a serine/threonine. We show that phosphorylation of this serine/threonine is critical for non-conventional FFAT motifs (named Phospho-FFAT) to be recognized by the MSP domain. Moreover, structural analyses of the MSP domain alone or in complex with conventional and Phospho-FFAT peptides revealed new mechanisms of interaction. Based on these new insights, we produced a novel prediction algorithm, which expands the repertoire of candidate proteins with a Phospho-FFAT that are able to create membrane contact sites. Using a prototypical tethering complex made by STARD3 and VAP, we showed that phosphorylation is instrumental for the formation of ER-endosome contacts, and their sterol transfer function. This study reveals that phosphorylation acts as a general switch for inter-organelle contacts.

A proximity labeling strategy enables proteomic analysis of inter-organelle membrane contacts.

Project description:Inter-organelle membrane contacts are highly dynamic and act as central hubs for many biological processes, but the protein compositions remain largely unknown due to the lack of efficient tools. Here, we developed BiFCPL to analyze the contact proteome in living cells by a bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC)-based proximity labeling (PL) strategy. BiFCPL was applied to study mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contacts (MERCs) and mitochondria-lipid droplet (LD) contacts. We identified 403 highly confident MERC proteins, including many transiently resident proteins and potential tethers. Moreover, we demonstrated that mitochondria-LD contacts are sensitive to nutrient status. A comparative proteomic analysis revealed that 60 proteins are up- or downregulated at contact sites under metabolic challenge. We verified that SQLE, an enzyme for cholesterol synthesis, accumulates at mitochondria-LD contact sites probably to utilize local ATP for cholesterol synthesis. This work provides an efficient method to identify key proteins at inter-organelle membrane contacts in living cells.

A novel bacterial effector protein mediates ER-LD membrane contacts to regulate host lipid droplets

Project description:Effective intracellular communication between cellular organelles occurs at dedicated membrane contact sites (MCSs). Tether proteins are responsible for the establishment of MCSs, enabling direct communication between organelles to ensure organelle function and host cell homeostasis. While recent research has identified tether proteins in several bacterial pathogens, their functions have predominantly been associated with mediating inter-organelle communication between the bacteria containing vacuole (BCV) and the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we identify a novel bacterial effector protein, CbEPF1, which acts as a molecular tether beyond the confines of the BCV and facilitates interactions between host cell organelles. Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen, encodes the FFAT motif-containing protein CbEPF1 which localizes to host lipid droplets (LDs). CbEPF1 establishes inter-organelle contact sites between host LDs and the ER through its interactions with VAP family proteins. Intriguingly, CbEPF1 modulates growth of host LDs in a FFAT motif-dependent manner. These findings highlight the potential for bacterial effector proteins to impact host cellular homeostasis by manipulating inter-organelle communication beyond conventional BCVs.

Inter-organelle lipid transfer: a channel model for Vps13 and chorein-N motif proteins.

Project description:Membrane contact sites, where two organelles are in close proximity, are critical regulators of cellular membrane homeostasis, with roles in signaling, lipid metabolism, and ion dynamics. A growing catalog of specialized lipid transfer proteins carry out lipid exchange at these sites. Currently characterized eukaryotic lipid transport proteins are shuttles that typically extract a single lipid from the membrane of the donor organelle, solubilize it during transport through the cytosol, and deposit it in the acceptor organelle membrane. Here, we highlight the recently identified chorein_N family of lipid transporters, including the Vps13 proteins and the autophagy protein Atg2. These are elongated proteins that, distinct from previously characterized transport proteins, bind tens of lipids at once. They feature an extended channel, most likely lined with hydrophobic residues. We discuss the possibility that they are not shuttles but instead are bridges between membranes, with lipids traversing the cytosol via the hydrophobic channel.

FAM210A mediates an inter-organelle crosstalk essential for protein synthesis and muscle growth in mouse.

Project description:Mitochondria are not only essential for energy production in eukaryocytes but also a key regulator of intracellular signaling. Here, we report an unappreciated role of mitochondria in regulating cytosolic protein translation in skeletal muscle cells (myofibers). We show that the expression of mitochondrial protein FAM210A (Family With Sequence Similarity 210 Member A) is positively associated with muscle mass in mice and humans. Muscle-specific Myl1Cre-driven Fam210a knockout (Fam210aMKO) in mice reduces mitochondrial density and function, leading to progressive muscle atrophy and premature death. Metabolomic and biochemical analyses reveal that Fam210aMKO reverses the oxidative TCA cycle towards the reductive direction, resulting in acetyl-CoA accumulation and hyperacetylation of cytosolic proteins. Specifically, hyperacetylation of several ribosomal proteins leads to disassembly of ribosomes and translational defects. Transplantation of Fam210aMKO mitochondria into wildtype myoblasts is sufficient to elevate protein acetylation in recipient cells. These findings reveal a novel crosstalk between the mitochondrion and ribosome mediated by FAM210A.

TRIM27 mediates protective immunity against tuberculosis by activating host autophagy flux

Project description:Infectious diseases, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-caused tuberculosis (TB), remain a global health threat exacerbated by increasing drug resistance. Host-directed therapy (HDT) is a complementing strategy for infection treatment through targeting host immune mechanisms. However, the limited understanding of the host factors and their regulatory mechanisms involved in host immune defense against infections has impeded HDT development. Here, we identify the E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif-containing 27 (TRIM27) elicits host protective immunity against Mtb. Mechanistically, TRIM27 enters host cell nucleus upon Mtb infection to function as a transcription activator of transcription factor EB (TFEB). TRIM27 binds to TFEB promoter and the TFEB transcription factor cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1), thus enhancing CREB1-TFEB promoter binding affinity and promoting CREB1 transcription activity towards TFEB, eventually leading to autophagy activation and pathogen clearance. Thus, TRIM27 contributes to host anti-Mtb immunity and targeting TRIM27/CREB1/TFEB axis serves as a promising HDT-based TB treatment.
