Project description:Mitochondria are organelles with their own genomes, but they rely on the import of nuclear-encoded proteins that are translated by cytosolic ribosomes. Therefore, it is important to understand whether failures in the mitochondrial uptake of these nuclear-encoded proteins can cause proteotoxic stress and identify response mechanisms that may counteract it. Here, we report that upon impairments in mitochondrial protein import, high-risk precursor and immature forms of mitochondrial proteins form aberrant deposits in the cytosol. These deposits then cause further cytosolic accumulation and consequently aggregation of other mitochondrial proteins and disease-related proteins, including α-synuclein and amyloid β. This aggregation triggers a cytosolic protein homeostasis imbalance that is accompanied by specific molecular chaperone responses at both the transcriptomic and protein levels. Altogether, our results provide evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction, specifically protein import defects, contributes to impairments in protein homeostasis, thus revealing a possible molecular mechanism by which mitochondria are involved in neurodegenerative diseases.

Project description:Mitochondrial function degenerates with ageing and in ageing-related neuromuscular degenerative diseases, causing physiological decline of the cell. Factors that can delay the degenerative process are actively sought after. Here, we show that reduced cytosolic protein synthesis is a robust cellular strategy that suppresses ageing-related mitochondrial degeneration. We modelled autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia (adPEO), an adult- or later-onset degenerative disease, by introducing the A128P mutation into the adenine nucleotide translocase Aac2p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The aac2(A128P) allele dominantly induces ageing-dependent mitochondrial degeneration and phenotypically tractable degenerative cell death, independently of its ADP/ATP exchange activity. Mitochondrial degeneration was suppressed by lifespan-extending nutritional interventions and by eight longevity mutations, which are all known to reduce cytosolic protein synthesis. These longevity interventions also independently suppressed ageing-related mitochondrial degeneration in the pro-ageing prohibitin mutants. The aac2(A128P) mutant has reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi(m)) and is synthetically lethal to low delta psi(m) conditions, including the loss of prohibitin. Mitochondrial degeneration was accelerated by defects in protein turnover on the inner membrane and was suppressed by cycloheximide, a specific inhibitor of cytosolic ribosomes. Reduced cytosolic protein synthesis suppressed membrane depolarization and defects in mitochondrial gene expression in aac(A128P) cells. Our finding thus establishes a link between protein homeostasis (proteostasis), cellular bioenergetics and mitochondrial maintenance during ageing.

Project description:Cadmium is a highly poisonous metal and is classified as a human carcinogen. While its toxicity is undisputed, the underlying in vivo molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that cadmium induces aggregation of cytosolic proteins in living Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Cadmium primarily targets proteins in the process of synthesis or folding, probably by interacting with exposed thiol groups in not-yet-folded proteins. On the basis of in vitro and in vivo data, we show that cadmium-aggregated proteins form seeds that increase the misfolding of other proteins. Cells that cannot efficiently protect the proteome from cadmium-induced aggregation or clear the cytosol of protein aggregates are sensitized to cadmium. Thus, protein aggregation may contribute to cadmium toxicity. This is the first report on how cadmium causes misfolding and aggregation of cytosolic proteins in vivo The proposed mechanism might explain not only the molecular basis of the toxic effects of cadmium but also the suggested role of this poisonous metal in the pathogenesis of certain protein-folding disorders.

Project description:Neurodegeneration is characterized by protein aggregate deposits and mitochondrial malfunction. Reduction in Tom40 (translocase of outer membrane 40) expression, a key subunit of the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane complex, led to accumulation of ubiquitin (Ub)-positive protein aggregates engulfed by Atg8a-positive membranes. Other macroautophagy markers were also abnormally accumulated. Autophagy was induced but the majority of autophagosomes failed to fuse with lysosomes when Tom40 was downregulated. In Tom40 RNAi tissues, autophagosome-like (AL) structures, often not sealed, were 10 times larger than starvation induced autophagosomes. Atg5 downregulation abolished Tom40 RNAi induced AL structure formation, but the Ub-positive aggregates remained, whereas knock down of Syx17, a gene required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion, led to the disappearance of giant AL structures and accumulation of small autophagosomes and phagophores near the Ub-positive aggregates. The protein aggregates contained many mitochondrial preproteins, cytosolic proteins, and proteasome subunits. Proteasome activity and ATP levels were reduced and the ROS levels was increased in Tom40 RNAi tissues. The simultaneous inhibition of proteasome activity, reduction in ATP production, and increase in ROS, but none of these conditions alone, can mimic the imbalanced proteostasis phenotypes observed in Tom40 RNAi cells. Knockdown of ref(2)P or ectopic expression of Pink1 and park greatly reduced aggregate formation in Tom40 RNAi tissues. In nerve tissues, reduction in Tom40 activity leads to aggregate formation and neurodegeneration. Rather than diminishing the neurodegenerative phenotypes, overexpression of Pink1 enhanced them. We proposed that defects in mitochondrial protein import may be the key to linking imbalanced proteostasis and mitochondrial defects.AbbreviationsAL: autophagosome-like; Atg12: Autophagy-related 12; Atg14: Autophagy-related 14; Atg16: Autophagy-related 16; Atg5: Autophagy-related 5; Atg6: Autophagy-related 6; Atg8a: Autophagy-related 8a; Atg9: Autophagy-related 9; ATP: adenosine triphosphate; Cas9: CRISPR associated protein 9; cDNA: complementary DNA; COX4: Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4; CRISPR: clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats; Cyt-c1: Cytochrome c1; DAPI: 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride; Dcr-2: Dicer-2; FLP: Flippase recombination enzyme; FRT: FLP recombination target; GFP: green fluorescent protein; GO: gene ontology; gRNA: guide RNA; Hsp60: Heat shock protein 60A; HDAC6: Histone deacetylase 6; htt: huntingtin; Idh: Isocitrate dehydrogenase; IFA: immunofluorescence assay; Irp-1A: Iron regulatory protein 1A; kdn: knockdown; Marf: Mitochondrial assembly regulatory factor; MitoGFP: Mitochondrial-GFP; MS: mass spectrometry; MTPAP: mitochondrial poly(A) polymerase; Nmnat: Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase; OE: overexpression; Pink1/PINK1: PTEN-induced putative kinase 1; polyQ: polyglutamine; PRKN: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; Pros?4: proteasome ?4 subunit; Pros?1: proteasome ?1 subunit; Pros?5: proteasome ?5 subunit; Pros?7: proteasome ?7 subunit; ref(2)P: refractory to sigma P; RFP: red fluorescent protein; RNAi: RNA interference; ROS: reactive oxygen species; Rpn11: Regulatory particle non-ATPase 11; Rpt2: Regulatory particle triple-A ATPase 2; scu: scully; sicily: severe impairment of CI with lengthened youth; sesB: stress-sensitive B; Syx17: Syntaxin17; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; ttm50: tiny tim 50; Tom: translocase of the outer membrane; Tom20: translocase of outer membrane 20; Tom40: translocase of outer membrane 40; Tom70: translocase of outer membrane 70; UAS: upstream active sequence; Ub: ubiquitin; VNC: ventral nerve cord; ZFYVE1: zinc finger FYVE-type containing 1.
