Histidine-dependent protein methylation is required for compartmentalization of CTP synthase

ABSTRACT: CTP synthase (CTPS) forms compartmentalized filaments in response to substrate availability and environmental nutrient status. However, the physiological role of filaments and mechanisms for filament assembly are not well understood. Here, we provide evidence that CTPS forms filaments in response to histidine influx during glutamine starvation. CTPS protein levels remained stable in the presence of histidine during nutrient deprivation, followed by rapid cell growth following nutrient replenishment. Tetramer conformation-based filament formation restricted CTPS enzyme activity duringnutrient deprivation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that filament formation controlled at two levels. Starvation stress/glutamine deficiency activates the GCN2/ATF4/MTHFD2 axis to accelerate the folate cycle in mitochondria for energy homeostasis. In addition, histidine promotes re-methylation of homocysteine by donating one-carbon to the cytosolic folate cycle. CTPS filament formation induced by histidine-mediated methylation maybe a strategy usedby cancer cells to maintain homeostasis and ensure a growth advantage in adverse environments.

Identification of CTPS1 Filament Interacting Proteins

Project description:CTP synthase (CTPS) catalyzes the formation of CTP in de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. Compartmentalization of CTPS into filamentous structure is evolutionarily conserved from E.coli, yeast, Drosophila, mice to humans. Recently, we have demonstrated that histidine-mediated protein methylation promotes the formation of CTPS filament under glutamine and/or serum deprivation, which reduces its enzymatic activity and protects it from degradation. However, it is still unclear how the filament assembly takes place. In the current study, we used APEX2-mediated in vivo proximity labeling to identify proteins involved in CTPS filament formation.

Identification of CTPS1 Filament Interacting Proteins_2019 dataset

Project description:CTP synthase (CTPS) catalyzes the formation of CTP in de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. Compartmentalization of CTPS into filamentous structure is evolutionarily conserved from E.coli, yeast, Drosophila, mice to humans. Previously, we demonstrated that histidine (His) mediated methylation promotes the formation of CTPS filament to suppress the enzymatic activity and preserve CTPS protein under Gln deprivation, which promotes cancer cell growth after stress alleviation. However, it remains unclear where and how these enigmatic structures are assembled. Here we used APEX2-mediated in vivo proximity labeling to identify proteins involve in the formation of human CTPS filaments.

Phosphoethanolamine Accumulation Protects Cancer Cells under Glutamine Starvation through Downregulation of PCYT2

Project description:The conditions of the tumor microenvironment, such as nutrient starvation, play critical roles in cancer progression. However, the role of glutamine deprivation in cancer progression is not studied as extensively as that of hypoxia. Here, we show that glutamine starvation triggered down-regulation of PCYT2 by stimulating accumulation of PEtn. Interestingly, glutamine upregulated series of glutamine-responsive genes, not only PCYT2. Furthermore, glutamine-responsive genes were associated with overall survival of cancer patients. Thus, our findings show that glutamine responsive genes such as PCYT2 are key for progression of cancer cells, partly protecting cancer cells to glutamine starvation.

A role for p53 in the adaptation to glutamine starvation through the expression of Slc1a3

Project description:Numerous mechanisms to support cells under conditions of transient nutrient starvation have been described. The tumor suppressor protein p53 can contribute to the adaptation of cells to metabolic stress through various mechanisms that may help cancer cell survival in nutrient limiting conditions. We show here that p53 helps cancer cells to survive glutamine starvation by promoting the expression of SLC1A3, an aspartate/glutamate transporter that allows the utilization of aspartate to support cells in the absence of extracellular glutamine. Under glutamine deprivation, SLC1A3 expression maintains electron transport chain and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity, promoting de novo glutamate, glutamine and nucleotide synthesis to rescue cell viability. Tumor cells with high levels of SLC1A3 expression are resistant to glutamine starvation and SLC1A3 depletion retards the growth of these cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a therapeutic potential for SLC1A3 inhibition.

Fat body-specific reduction of CTPS alleviates HFD-induced obesity

Project description:High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity is a multi-factorial disease including genetic, physiological, behavioral, and environmental components. Drosophila has emerged as an effective metabolic disease model. Cytidine 5'-triphosphate synthase (CTPS) is a crucial enzyme for the de novo synthesis of CTP, governing the cellular level of CTP and phospholipid synthesis. CTPS has been found to form filaments known as cytoophidia, which are evolutionarily conserved in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Here, we show that CTPS functions in fat bodies to regulate body weight and starvation resistance in Drosophila. HFD-induced obesity enhances CTPS transcription and lengthens cytoophidia in larval adipocytes. CTPS depletion in the fat body prevented HFD-induced obesity, including body weight gain, adipocyte expansion, and lipid accumulation, by inhibiting the PI3K-Akt-SREBP axis. A dominant-negative form of CTPS also inhibits adipocyte expansion and down-regulates lipogenic genes. As a result, our findings not only establish a functional link between CTPS and lipid homeostasis but also highlight a potential role of CTPS manipulation in the treatment of HFD-induced obesity.

p53 promotes cancer cell adaptation to glutamine deprivation by upregulating Slc7a3 to increase arginine uptake

Project description:Cancer cells heavily depend on the amino acid, glutamine, to meet the demands associated with growth and proliferation. Due to its rapid consumption, cancer cells frequently undergo glutamine starvation in vivo. We and others have shown that p53 is a critical regulator in metabolic stress resistance. To better understand the molecular mechanisms by which p53 activation promotes cancer cell adaptation to glutamine deprivation, we identified p53-dependent genes that are induced upon glutamine deprivation using RNA-seq analysis. We show that Slc7a3, an arginine transporter, is significantly induced by p53. We show the concomitant rise in intracellular arginine levels following glutamine deprivation is dependent on p53. The influx of arginine has minimal effect on known metabolic pathways upon glutamine deprivation. Instead, we found arginine serves as an effector for mTORC1 activation to promote in vitro and in vivo cell growth in response to glutamine starvation. Therefore, we identify a novel p53-inducible gene that contributes to the metabolic stress response.

Glutamine depletion regulates Slug to promote EMT and metastasis in pancreatic cancer [human]

Project description:Tumor cells rely on glutamine to fulfill their metabolic demands and sustain proliferation. The elevated consumption of glutamine can lead to intratumoral nutrient depletion, causing metabolic stress that has the potential to impact tumor progression. Here, we show that nutrient stress caused by glutamine deprivation leads to the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that glutamine deficiency regulates EMT through the upregulation of the EMT master regulator Slug, a process that is dependent on both MEK/ERK signaling and ATF4. We find that Slug is required in PDAC cells for glutamine deprivation-induced EMT, cell motility and nutrient stress survival. Importantly, we decipher that Slug is associated with nutrient stress in PDAC tumors and is required for metastasis. These results delineate a novel role for Slug in the nutrient stress response and provide insight into how nutrient depletion might influence PDAC progression.

Oncogenic KRAS mediates amino acid metabolism during nutrient stress via regulation of NRF2 and ATF4 in NSCLC [shKRAS low Q]

Project description:Glutamine is a key nutrient for tumor cells that supports nucleotide and amino acid biosynthesis, replenishes the TCA cycle intermediates and contributes to redox metabolism. We identified oncogenic KRAS as a critical regulator of the response to glutamine deprivation in NSCLC. Full activation of the ATF4 stress response pathway is dependent on expression of NRF2 downstream of oncogenic KRAS in NSCLC. Through this mechanism, KRAS alters amino acid uptake and metabolism and sustains mTORC1 signaling during nutrient stress. Furthermore, we identified regulation of asparagine synthetase (ASNS) as a key effect of oncogenic KRAS signaling via ATF4 during glutamine deprivation, and a potential therapeutic target in KRAS mutant NSCLC.
