Project description:Praja2 (Pja2), a member of the growing family of mammalian RING E3 ubiquitin ligases, is reportedly involved not only in several types of cancer but also in neurological diseases and disorders. However, the underlying genetic mechanism of Pja2 regulation in the nervous system remains unclear. To study the cellular and molecular function of Pja2 in mouse hippocampal neuronal cells (MHNCs), we used gain- and loss-of-function manipulations of Pja2 in HT-22 cells and tested their regulatory effects on three Alzheimer's disease (AD) genes and cell proliferation. We found that the expression of AD markers including App, Mapt and Gsap could be inhibited by Pja2 overexpression and activated by Pja2 knockdown. In addition, HT-22 cell proliferation was enhanced by Pja2 upregulation and suppressed by its downregulation. We also applied RNA-Seq to evaluate and quantify the targets that responded to the enforced expression of Pja2. In particular, P2rx3 and P2rx7, which have different expression patterns in the critical calcium signaling pathway, were shown to mediate the regulatory effect of Pja2 in HT-22 cells. Functional studies indicated that Pja2 regulated HT-22 cell development and AD marker genes by inhibiting P2rx3 but promoting P2rx7, a gene downstream of P2rx3. In conclusion, our results provide new insights into the regulatory function of the gene Pja2 in MHNCs, underscoring the potential relevance of this molecule to the pathophysiology of AD.

Project description:The Hace1 E3 ligase is a tumor suppressor in stressed cells. Through unknown mechanisms, Hace1 indirectly targets the cyclin D1 proto-oncogene for proteasomal degradation during nutrient depletion. We now show that Hace1 targets HIF1alpha for VHL-dependent degradation during hypoxia. To better understand these diverse actions we performed mass spectrometry to identify Hace1-interacting proteins. We show that Hace1 interacts with cullin-associated NEDD8-dissociated protein 1 (CAND1) under nutrient depletion and hypoxia. CAND1 binds cullins and prevents their entry into cullin ring E3 ligase (CRL) complexes, thus blocking CRL activity. Hace1 binding releases CUL1/2 from CAND1, facilitating assembly of CRL complexes to degrade cyclin D1 and HIF1alpha, respectively. These findings suggest a broad role for Hace1 in regulating tumor suppressive CRL E3 ligases. In this study, we used gene expression profiling to characterize how Hace1 overexpression affect the transcriptional response to hypoxic stress Using Affymetrix exon-level microarrays, we compared the expression profile of HEK293 cells overexpressing either Hace1 or MSCV vector alone, under hypoxia or normoxia

Project description:JAB1 is a regulator of ubiquitin mediated protein degradation upstream of the 26S proteasome. JAB1 regulates the ubiquitin proteasome system through controlling the activity of the largest family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, the Cullin-RING Ligases. JAB1 is also a transcriptional co-factor contolling the expression of numerous genes and regulates musculoskeletal development in vivo. It is reported that JAB1 is overexpressed in many cancers, making it a potential oncogene. Thus, JAB1 has a highly spatiotemporal specific role in development and cancer pathogenesis. This study aims to determine the JAB1-mediated transcriptome that exists in osteosarcoma cells.

Project description:Heterobifunctional proteolysis-targeting chimeric compounds leverage the activity of E3 ligases to induce degradation of target oncoproteins and exhibit potent preclinical antitumor activity. To dissect the mechanisms regulating tumor cell sensitivity to different classes of pharmacological "degraders" of oncoproteins, we performed genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing studies. We observed that myeloma cell resistance to "degraders" of different targets (BET bromodomain proteins, CDK9) and operating through CRBN (degronimids) or VHL is primarily mediated by prevention of, rather than adaptation to, breakdown of the target oncoprotein; involves loss-of-function for the cognate E3 ligase or interactors/regulators of the respective cullin-RING ligase (CRL) complex. The substantial gene-level differences for CRBN- vs. VHL-based degraders explains mechanistically the lack of cross-resistance for degraders targeting the same protein via different E3 ligase/CRLs.

Project description:Transmembrane E3 ligases play crucial roles in homeostasis. Much protein and organelle quality control, and metabolic regulation, are determined by ER-resident MARCH6 E3 ligases, including Doa10 in yeast. Here, we present Doa10/MARCH6 structural analysis by cryo-EM and AlphaFold predictions, and a structure-based mutagenesis campaign. The majority of MARCH6/Doa10 adopts a unique circular structure within the membrane. This channel is established by a lipid-binding scaffold, gated by a flexible helical bundle. The ubiquitylation active site is positioned over the channel by connections between the cytosolic E3 ligase RING domain and the membrane-spanning scaffold and gate. Assaying 95 MARCH6 variants for effects on stability of the well-characterized substrate SQLE, which regulates cholesterol levels, revealed crucial roles of the gated channel and RING domain consistent with AlphaFold-models of substrate-engaged and ubiquitylation complexes. SQLE degradation further depends on connections between the channel and RING domain, and lipid binding sites, revealing how interconnected MARCH6/Doa10 elements could orchestrate metabolic signals, substrate binding, and E3 ligase activity.

Project description:Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) are directed to targets by cascades of E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The largest ubiquitin E3 subclass consists of cullin-RING ligases (CRLs), which contain one each of several cullins (CUL1, -2, -3, -4, or -5) and RING proteins (RBX1 or -2). CRLs are activated by ligation of the UBL NEDD8 to a conserved cullin lysine. How is cullin NEDD8ylation specificity established? Here we report that, like UBE2M (also known as UBC12), the previously uncharacterized E2 UBE2F is a NEDD8-conjugating enzyme in vitro and in vivo. Biochemical and structural analyses indicate how plasticity of hydrophobic E1-E2 interactions and E1 conformational flexibility allow one E1 to charge multiple E2s. The E2s have distinct functions, with UBE2M/RBX1 and UBE2F/RBX2 displaying different target cullin specificities. Together, these studies reveal the molecular basis for and functional importance of hierarchical expansion of the NEDD8 conjugation system in establishing selective CRL activation.

Project description:The purpose of this project was to compare whole genome expression in 5 transgenic mice with human genes for dementia that result in either plaques or tangle pathology to the expression in wild-type control mice and to each other at different stages of disease progression. Total RNA was obtained from hippocampus, cortex and cerebellum in four lines of ‘amyloid’ transgenic mice (mutant human APP and APP/PSEN1 genes) and ‘TAU’ transgenic mice (mutant human MAPT gene) as well as wild-type control mice at 8,16, 32 and 72 weeks

Here we explore the specific functions of Ube2f and Ube2m by comparing gene expression profiles following knockdown of their function in NIH 3T3 cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression changes following knockdown of Ube2m and Ube2f in NIH 3T3 cells. NIH 3T3 cells were transduced with retroviral constructs containing shRNA directed against Ube2m or Ube2f. Three replicates of each condition were analyzed.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder that is influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors, such as inheritance of ε4 allele of APOE (APOE4), sex and diet. Here, we examined the effect of high fat diet (HFD) on amyloid pathology and expression profile in brains of AD model mice expressing human APOE isoforms (APP/E3 and APP/E4 mice). APP/E3 and APP/E4 mice were fed HFD or Normal diet for 3 months. We found that HFD significantly increased amyloid plaques in male and female APP/E4, but not in APP/E3 mice. To identify differentially expressed genes and gene-networks correlated to diet, APOE isoform and sex, we performed RNA sequencing and applied Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis. We determined that the immune response network with major hubs Tyrobp/DAP12, Csf1r, Tlr2, C1qc and Laptm5 correlated significantly and positively to the phenotype of female APP/E4-HFD mice. Correspondingly, we found that in female APP/E4-HFD mice, microglia coverage around plaques, particularly of larger size, was significantly reduced. This suggests altered containment of the plaque growth and sex-dependent vulnerability in response to diet. The results of our study show concurrent impact of diet, APOE isoform and sex on the brain transcriptome and AD-like phenotype.
