Project description:Autophagy is a vital cellular process that maintains organismal health by recycling damaged or superfluous cellular components within autophagosomes. This process is mediated by conserved ATG proteins, which coordinate autophagosome biogenesis and selective cargo degradation. Among these, the ubiquitin-like ATG8 protein plays a central role by linking cargo to the growing autophagosomes through interactions with selective autophagy receptors. Unlike most ATG proteins, which are represented by single or few isoforms, the ATG8 gene family is expanded in vascular plants, yet the extent of functional specialization within ATG8 isoforms remains largely unknown. Using transcriptional and translational reporters in Arabidopsis thaliana, we revealed that ATG8 isoforms are differentially expressed across tissues and form distinct autophagosomes within the same cell. To explore ATG8 specialization, we generated the nonuple Δatg8mutant lacking all nine ATG8 isoforms. The mutant displayed hypersensitivity to carbon and nitrogen starvation, coupled with defects in bulk and selective autophagy as shown by biochemical and ultrastructural analyses. Complementation experiments demonstrated that ATG8A could rescue both carbon and nitrogen starvation phenotypes, whereas ATG8H could only complement carbon starvation. Proximity labeling proteomics further identified isoform-specific interactors under nitrogen starvation, underscoring their functional divergence. These findings provide genetic evidence for the specialization of ATG8 isoforms in plants and lay a foundation for investigating their roles in diverse cell types and stress conditions.

Project description:Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process which degrades and recycles intracellular components. To accomplish this task the surplus material (cargo) is sequestered in a double membranous vesicle termed autophagosome. To initiate the formation of autophagosome autophagy machinery is recruited to cargo in a controlled manner. One of the first factors recruited to damaged mitochondria during mitophagy (selective removal of damaged mitochondria by autophagy) are two protein kinases, ULK1/2 complex and TBK1. They both promote a subsequent recruitment of the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I (PI3Kc1 complex) which function is to generate the lipid phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P) on phagophore membranes. Both ULK1 and TBK1 were reported to phosphorylate several autophagy factors. Here, we probed phosphorylation of PI3Kc1 by ULK1 and TBK1 to gain a full picture of the phosphosites map of PI3Kc phosphorylated by both protein kinases. Recombinant PI3Kc1 was incubated with recombinant ULK1 complex or TBK1 in the presence of ATP and MgCl2. As a negative control, the same protein mixtures were incubated in a kinase buffer lacking MgCl2 and ATP. Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie. The bands for each subunit of the PI3KC3-C1 complex (VPS15, VPS34, ATG14, and Beclin1) were extracted from the gel and submitted for mass spectrometry analysis.

Project description:Autophagy is a mechanism by which intracellular cargo are catabolised in the lysosome. It involves the formation of double membraned organelles termed autophagosomes, a complex process orchestrated by the serine/threonine kinase ULK complex and class III PI3 kinase VPS34. Unbiased screens for ULK substrates revealed that the phosphoproteome is significantly altered upon loss of Ulk1/2 and yielded a high confidence list of substrates, including VPS34 complex member VPS15 and AMPK complex member PRKAG2. We identified 6 new ULK substrate residues in the VPS15. Mutation of these VPS15 phosphoacceptors reduces autophagosome formation and autophagic flux in cells, and VPS34 activity in vitro. ULK phosphorylation of the major phosphosite in VPS15, serine 861, decreases both autophagy initiation and autophagic flux. Analysis of VPS15 knockout cells and the ULK substrate VPS34 serine 249 revealed two novel ULK-dependent phenotypes downstream of VPS15 removal: starvation-independent accumulation of ULK substrates and kinase activity-regulated recruitment of autophagy proteins to ubiquitin-positive structures, both of which occur upon VPS15 ablation and can be partially recapitulated by chronic VPS34 inhibition.

Project description:Autophagy is an essential cellular process in eukaryotes that degrades and recycles macromolecules and organelles. Defects in autophagy is known to affect metabolism, including the lipidome. Genetic approaches have identified a series of AuTophaGy-related (ATG) genes in Arabidopsis. In this study we used WT (ecotype Col-0) and two Arabidopsis autophagy-defective mutants, atg7 and atg9 to perform a multi-omics study on the effect of nitrogen starvation treatment, which induces autophagy. Specifically, we have quantified ~100 lipids from leaf and root tissues of WT, atg7 and atg9 mutant plants, under either autophagy-inducing conditions (-N) or normal nitrogen conditions (+N). The lipid species we quantified include: DGDG, MGDG, LPC, LPE, PE, LPG, PC, PA, PG, PI, and PS. Our study sheds lights on the understanding of the relationships between autophagy and metabolism, especially lipid metabolism.

Project description:Autophagy as a conserved degradation and recycling machinery is important in normal development and physiology, and defects in this process are linked to many kinds of disease. Because too much or too little autophagy can be detrimental, the process must be tightly regulated both temporally and in magnitude. The transcriptional induction and repression of the autophagy-related (ATG) genes is one crucial aspect of this regulation, but the transcriptional regulators that modulate autophagy are not well characterized. In this study, we identified Pho23 as a master transcriptional repressor for autophagy, with transcriptome profiling revealing that ATG9 is one of the key target genes. Physiological studies with a PHO23 null mutant, or with strains expressing modulated levels of Atg9, demonstrate a critical role of this protein as a regulator of autophagosome formation frequency; Atg9 protein levels correlate with the number of autophagosomes generated upon autophagy induction, and the level of autophagy activity. WT yeast and pho23 deletion mutants were grown under nutrient rich or nitrogen starvation conditions; gene expression was quantified across these 4 samples.

Project description:Autophagy is an evolutionally conserved catabolic process that recycles nutrients upon starvation and maintains cellular energy homeostasis1-3. Its acute regulation by nutrient sensing signaling pathways is well described, but its longer-term transcriptional regulation is not. The nuclear receptors PPARα and FXR are activated in the fasted or fed liver, respectively4,5. Here we show that both regulate hepatic autophagy. Pharmacologic activation of PPARα reverses the normal suppression of autophagy in the fed state, inducing autophagic lipid degradation, or lipophagy. This response is lost in PPARα knockout (PPARα-/-) mice, which are partially defective in the induction of autophagy by fasting. Pharmacologic activation of the bile acid receptor FXR strongly suppresses the induction of autophagy in the fasting state, and this response is absent in FXR knockout (FXR-/-) mice, which show a partial defect in suppression of hepatic autophagy in the fed state. PPARα and FXR compete for binding to shared sites in autophagic gene promoters, with opposite transcriptional outputs. These results reveal complementary, interlocking mechanisms for regulation of autophagy by nutrient status. Mouse liver PPARα cistromes in fed 8-week-old male WT or PPARα KO mice treated with or without its synthetic agonist ligand GW7647twice a day were generated by deep sequencing in quadruplicate using illumina

Project description:Viruses manipulate cellular metabolism and macromolecule recycling processes like autophagy. Dysregulated metabolism might lead to excessive inflammatory and autoimmune responses as observed in severe and long COVID-19 patients. Here we show that SARS-CoV-2 modulates cellular metabolism and reduces autophagy. Accordingly, compound-driven induction of autophagy limits SARS-CoV-2 propagation. In detail, SARS-CoV-2-infected cells show accumulation of key metabolites, activation of autophagy inhibitors (AKT1, SKP2) and reduction of proteins responsible for autophagy initiation (AMPK, TSC2, ULK1), membrane nucleation, and phagophore formation (BECN1, VPS34, ATG14), as well as autophagosome-lysosome fusion (BECN1, ATG14 oligomers). Consequently, phagophore-incorporated autophagy markers LC3B-II and P62 accumulate, which we confirm in a hamster model and lung samples of COVID-19 patients. Single-nucleus and single-cell sequencing of patient-derived lung and mucosal samples show differential transcriptional regulation of autophagy and immune genes depending on cell type, disease duration, and SARS-CoV-2 replication levels. Targeting of autophagic pathways by exogenous administration of the polyamines spermidine and spermine, the selective AKT1 inhibitor MK-2206, and the BECN1-stabilizing anthelmintic drug niclosamide inhibit SARS-CoV-2 propagation in vitro with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 136.7, 7.67, 0.11, and 0.13 μM, respectively. Autophagy-inducing compounds reduce SARS-CoV-2 propagation in primary human lung cells and intestinal organoids emphasizing their potential as treatment options against COVID-19.

Project description:Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are key transcriptional regulators of lipid metabolism. To define functional differences between the three mammalian SREBPs we are using genome-wide ChIP-seq with isoform-specific antibodies and chromatin from select tissues of mice challenged with different dietary conditions that enrich for specific SREBPs. We show hepatic SREBP-2 binds preferentially to two different gene-proximal motifs. Gene ontology analyses suggests SREBP-2 targets lipid metabolic processes as expected but apoptosis and autophagy gene categories were also enriched. We show SREBP-2 directly activates autophagy genes during cell sterol depletion, conditions known to induce both autophagy and nuclear SREBP-2 levels. Additionally, SREBP-2 knockdown during nutrient depletion decreased autophagosome formation and lipid droplet association of the autophagosome targeting protein LC3. Thus, the lipid droplet could be viewed as a third source of cellular cholesterol, which along with sterol synthesis and uptake, is also regulated by SREBP-2. Examination of hepatic SREBP-2 binding using ChIP-Seq. One ChIP-Seq dataset and one IgG control.
