Requirement for Sun1 in the expression of meiotic reproductive genes and piRNA

ABSTRACT: The inner nuclear envelope (NE) proteins interact with the nuclear lamina and participate in the architectural compartmentalization of chromosomes. The association of NE proteins with DNA contributes to the spatial rearrangement of chromosomes and their gene expression. Sun1 is an inner nuclear membrane (INM) protein that locates to telomeres and anchors chromosome movement in the prophase of meiosis. Here, we have created Sun1-/- mice and found that these mice are born and grow normally but are reproductively infertile. Detailed molecular analyses showed that Sun1-/- P14 testes are repressed for the expression of reproductive genes and have no detectable piRNA. These findings raise a heretofore unrecognized role of Sun1 in the selective gene expression of coding and non-coding RNAs needed for gemetogenesis.

Total RNA was isolated from E14.5 mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and and day 9 and 14 mouse whole testes. cDNA samples from paired (same parents) wt (Cy3-labled) and Sun1-/- (Cy5-labled) mice were mixed and hybridized.

Depletion of Sun1/2 Induces Heterochromatin Accrual in MSCs

Project description:Mesenchyal Stem Cells (MSCs) differentiation into multiple lineages, such as osteocytes and adipocytes, has been shown to be regulated by mechanical signals. The Linker of the Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex has been shown to be required for mechanical signal transduction, regulation of MSCs differentiation, and nuclear integrity. The LINC complex is made of Nesprins and Sun proteins. Nesprin proteins associate with the cytoskeleton on the outer nuclear membrane and Sun proteins are bound to the inner nuclear membrane where they bind to inner nuclear proteins and chromatin. We investigated the role of the Sun1/2 in regulating the inner nuclear functions of chromatin organization and adipogenic differentiation independently of the LINC complex function. We show that depletion of Sun1/2 increased nuclear area and perimeter, and decreased circularity. Expression of a dominant-negative KASH (dnKASH) domain targeting the SUN domain on Sun proteins inhibiting Nesprin-SUN association resulting a loss of Nesprin localization to the nuclear envelope decreased nuclear area and circularity. Adipogenesis was inhibited during Sun1/2 depletion while dnKASH expression accelerated adipgoenesis. RNA-seq data showed decreased adipogensis and increased immune response during Sun1/2 depletion. dnKASH responded oppositely with increased adipogenic gene expression and decreased immune response. We also observed increased H3K9me3 levels, increased H3K9me3 foci count, and enrichment on Adipoq during Sun1/2 depletion. No increase of H3K9me3 levels, foci count, or increased H3K9me3 enrichment on Adipoq was found during dnKASH expression. We conclude that physically decoupling of the LINC complex via dnKASH accelerates adipogenesis and that Sun1/2 regulates chromatin organization and adipogenesis independently of the LINC complex function.

The effect of knockdown of SUN1/2 on LPS-primed macrophages

Project description:SUN1/2 are located on the inner nuclear envelope membrane, which comprise an N-terminal nucleoplasmic domain, a transmembrane segment and a C-terminal SUN domain. The nucleoplasmic domain of SUN1/2 interacts with lamina and/or chromatin binding proteins, while the SUN domain protrudes into the lumen of the nuclear envelope to interact with KASH proteins in a trimeric fashion. Defects in SUN proteins have been linked to human diseases including laminopathies, ataxia, progeria, lissencephaly, and cancer. To explore the role of SUN1/2 during macrophage activation, we explore microarray analysis of THP-1-derived macrophages after stable transfection of siVGLL4 for 48 h.

The SUN1-SPDYA interaction plays an essential role in meiosis prophase I

Project description:Chromosomes pair and synapse with their homologous partners to segregate correctly at meiosis I. Association of telomeres with the LINC (Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex enables telomere-led chromosome movements and telomere bouquet formation, facilitating precise pairwise alignment of homologs. Here, we identify a direct interaction between SUN1 and Speedy A (SPDYA) and determine the crystal structure of human SUN1-SPDYA-CDK2 ternary complex. Analysis of meiosis prophase I process in SPDYA-binding-deficient SUN1 mutant mice reveals that the SUN1-SPDYA interaction is required for the telomere-LINC complex connection and the assembly of a ring-shaped telomere supramolecular architecture at the nuclear envelope, which is critical for efficient homologous pairing and synapsis. Overall, our results provide structural insights into meiotic telomere structure that is essential for meiotic prophase progression.

BULK RNA SEQ OF HUVEC - NON-TARGETING AND SUN1, STATIC AND FLOW

Project description:The nuclear membrane protein SUN1 promotes blood vessel formation and barrier function by stabilizing endothelial cell-cell junctions. Communication between SUN1 and endothelial cell junctions relies upon proper microtubule dynamics and Rho signaling, revealing long-range cellular communication from the nucleus to the cell periphery that is important for vascular development and function.

The inner nuclear membrane-associated degradation system in plants

Project description:The homeostasis of the inner nuclear membrane (INM) proteins plays a critical role in regulating the nuclear structure, genome integrity, and signal transduction. However, little is known about the turnover of INM proteins in higher eukaryotes. Here we demonstrated that the conserved INM protein SUN1 undergoes proteasome-dependent degradation in Arabidopsis. Using in vivo proximity labeling-coupled mass spectrometry, we showed that SUN1 associates with the CDC48 complex, which mediates membrane protein extraction and proteolysis. Moreover, we discovered a specific subclade of plant ubiquitin regulatory X (UBX) domain-containing proteins (PUXs), including PUX3, PUX4, and PXU5, that negatively regulate this process. The three PUX proteins associate with the nucleoskeleton to target the INM, where they physically interact with CDC48, likely directly regulating the activity or substrate specificity of CDC48. Our findings provide direct evidence for the existence of plant INM-associated degradation pathway and uncover a nucleoskeleton-associated regulatory mechanism for it.

Plasmodium berghei SUN1 and allantoicase interaction proteomics

Project description:SUN1 was identified in a screen for fertility genes in Plasmodium berghei. To understand its role, SUN1 was tagged with an HA tag at the endogenous locus, and SUN1 interacting proteins were characterised by affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry. This led to the identification of allantoicase as a SUN1-associated protein. Subsequent affinity interaction proteomics of HA-tagged allantoicase confirmed the interaction between these two proteins.

SUN1/2 Controls Macrophage Polarization via Modulating Nuclear Size and Stiffness

Project description:Alteration of the size and stiffness of the nucleus triggered by environmental cues are thought to be important for eukaryotic cell fate and function. Here we identify the nuclear envelope proteins SUN1/2 as mechano-regulators of the nucleus during M1 polarization of the macrophage. Specifically, we show that LPS treatment decreases the protein levels of SUN1/2 in a CK2-bTrCP-dependent manner to shrink and soften the nucleus, therefore altering the chromatin accessibility for M1-associated gene expression.

Inducible repositioning of genes to the inner nuclear membrane

Project description:Nuclear compartmentalization appears to play an important role in regulating metazoan genes. While studies on immunoglobulin (Ig) and other loci have correlated positioning at the nuclear lamina with gene repression, the functional consequences of this compartmentalization remain untested. We devised an approach for inducible tethering of genes to the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and demonstrate with 3D DNA-ImmunoFISH, repositioning of chromosomal regions to the nuclear lamina. Relocalization requires mitotic nuclear envelope breakdown and reformation. Tethering leads to the accumulation of lamin and INM proteins but not to association with pericentromeric heterochromatin or nuclear pore complexes. Recruitment of genes to the INM can result in their transcriptional repression. Using DamID we show that as is the case for our model system, inactive Ig loci at the nuclear periphery are contacted by INM and lamina components. We propose that such molecular interactions are used to compartmentalize and limit the accessibility of Ig loci. Keywords: Inducible
