Investigation of the gamma-tubulin binding site in the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA of cells in S-phase

ABSTRACT: In a cell, g-tubulin establishes a cellular network of threads named g-string meshwork. However, the functions of this meshwork remain to be determined. We investigated the traits of the meshwork and show that g-strings have the ability to connect the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial DNA together. We also show that g-tubulin has a role in the maintenance of the mitochondrial meshwork and homeostasis as reduced levels of g-tubulin or impairment of its GTPase domain disrupts the mitochondria network and alters both their respiratory capacity and the expression of mitochondria-related genes. By contrast, reduced mitochondria number or increased protein levels of g-tubulin DNA-binding domain favour the association of g-tubulin with mitochondria. Our results demonstrate that g-tubulin is an important mitochondrial structural component that maintains the mitochondria meshwork, providing mitochondria with a cellular infrastructure. We propose that g-tubulin provides a cytoskeletal element that maintains mitochondria homeostasis and gives form to the mitochondria meshwork.

Investigation of the PCNA binding site in the DNA of cells in S-phase

Project description:In a cell, g-tubulin establishes a cellular network of threads named g-string meshwork. However, the functions of this meshwork remain to be determined. We investigated the traits of the meshwork and show that g-strings have the ability to connect the cytoplasm and the nuclear DNA together. We also show that g-tubulin has a role in determining the positioning of PCNA during DNA-replication.

The g-tubulin meshwork assists to the transport of cytosolic PCNA to chromatin in mammalian cells

Project description:Changes in the location of g-tubulin ensure cell survival and preserve genome integrity. We investigated whether the nuclear accumulation of g-tubulin facilitates the transport of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) between the cytosolic and the nuclear compartment in mammalian cells. We found that the g-tubulin meshwork assists to the recruitment of PCNA to chromatin. Also, decreased levels of g-tubulin affected the nuclear pool of PCNA. In addition, the g-tubulin C terminus encodes a PCNA-interacting peptide (PIP) motif, and a g-tubulin–PIP-mutant affects the nuclear accumulation of PCNA. In a cell-free system, PCNA and g-tubulin formed a complex. In tumors, there is a significant positive correlation between TUBG1 and PCNA expression. Thus, we report a novel mechanism that constitutes the basis for tumor growth by which the g-tubulin meshwork maintains indefinite proliferation by acting as an opportune scaffold for the transport of PCNA from the cytosol to the chromatin.

The tubulin code during cardiac hypertrophy and failure [IV]

Project description:A proliferated and post-translationally modified microtubule network underlies cellular growth in cardiac hypertrophy and contributes to contractile dysfunction in heart failure. Yet how the heart achieves this modified network is poorly understood. Determining how the “tubulin code” – the permutations of tubulin isoforms and post-translational modifications - is rewritten upon cardiac stress may provide new targets to modulate cardiac remodeling. Further, while tubulin can autoregulate its own expression, it is unknown if autoregulation is operant in the heart or tuned in response to stress. Here we use heart failure patient samples and murine models of cardiac remodeling to interrogate transcriptional, autoregulatory, and post-translational mechanisms that contribute to microtubule network remodeling at different stages of heart disease. We find that autoregulation is operant across tubulin isoforms in the heart and leads to an apparent disconnect in tubulin mRNA and protein levels in heart failure. We also find that within 4 hours of a hypertrophic stimulus and prior to cardiac growth, microtubule detyrosination is rapidly induced to help stabilize the network. This occurs concomitant with rapid transcriptional and autoregulatory activation of specific tubulin isoforms and microtubule motors. Upon continued hypertrophic stimulation, there is an increase in post-translationally modified microtubule tracks and anterograde motors to support cardiac growth, while total tubulin content increases through progressive transcriptional and autoregulatory induction of tubulin isoforms. Our work provides a new model for how the tubulin code is rapidly rewritten to establish a proliferated, stable microtubule network that drives cardiac remodeling, and provides the first evidence of tunable tubulin autoregulation during pathological progression.
