Spurious regulatory connections dictate the expression-fitness landscape of translation factors

ABSTRACT: During steady-state cell growth, individual enzymatic fluxes can be directly inferred from growth rate by mass conservation, but the inverse problem remains unsolved. Perturbing the flux and expression of a single enzyme could have pleiotropic effects that may or may not dominate the impact on cell fitness. Here, we quantitatively dissect the molecular and global responses to varied expression of translation termination factors (peptide release factors, RFs) in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. While endogenous RF expression maximizes proliferation, deviations in expression lead to unexpected distal regulatory responses that dictate fitness reduction. Molecularly, RF depletion causes expression imbalance at specific operons, which activates master regulators and detrimentally overrides the transcriptome. Through these spurious connections, RF abundances are thus entrenched by focal points within the regulatory network, in one case located at a single stop codon. Such regulatory entrenchment suggests that predictive bottom-up models of expression-fitness landscapes will require near-exhaustive characterization

Protein interactome of small RNA fragments: identification and functional implications

Project description:Populations of small eukaryotic RNAs, in addition to relatively well recognized molecules (such as miRNAs or siRNAs), also contain fragments derived from all classes of constitutively expressed non-coding RNAs. It has been recently demonstrated that the formation and accumulation of RNA fragments (RFs) is cell-/tissue-specific and depends on internal and external stimuli. Unfortunately, the mechanisms underlying RF biogenesis and function remain unclear. To better understand them, we employed RNA pull-down and mass spectrometry methods to characterize the interaction networks of seven RFs originating from tRNA, snoRNA and snRNA. In addition, we performed an in silico screen of the selected RFs against publicly available cross-linking and immunoprecipitation datasets. We determined that the RF interactome comprises a large number of proteins, which were generally different from those that interact with their parental full length RNAs. Proteins that were differentially bound by the RFs were involved in mRNA splicing, tRNA processing, DNA recombination/replication, protein biosynthesis and carbocyclic acid metabolism. Our data suggest that RFs can be endogenous aptamer-like molecules and potential players in emerging RNA-protein regulatory networks.

Composition of Rosenthal fibers in Alexander disease patients and mouse models

Project description:Alexander disease (AxD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence in astrocytes of protein aggregates called Rosenthal fibers (RFs). In this work, we used a new biochemical fractionation method to enrich for RFs followed by analysis of this fraction using quantitative iTRAQ mass spectrometry. This work identified 77 proteins not previously associated with RFs. Multiple proteins selected for follow-up were confirmed by immunobloting to be enriched in the RF fraction of both the AxD mouse models and human AxD patients including receptor for activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1), G1/S-specific cyclin D2, and ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX3X.

The fitness cost of spurious phosphorylation

Project description:The fidelity of signal transmission requires the binding of regulatory molecules to their cognate targets. However, the crowded cell interior risks off-target interactions between proteins that are functionally unrelated. Understanding the constraints this imposes on cell systems evolution requires the fitness cost of spurious interactions to be quantified. Towards this end, we express human tyrosine kinases in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae. Yeast lacks bona fide tyrosine kinases and so the majority of resulting pY sites are functionless and artificial. We express 24 unique tyrosine kinases in total and perform phosphoproteomics in each case, resulting in ~30,000 phosphosites sites mapping to 3500 phosphoproteins. Examination of the fitness costs in each strain reveals a strong correlation between the number of spurious pY sites generated and negative effects on growth. Moreover, the prediction of pY effects on protein structure and on protein function (conservation-based) reveals potential for the widespread perturbation of the yeast proteome. Comparing the spurious pY sites (pre-selection) with native pY sites in human (post-selection) also demonstrates the recurrent modification of proteins and sites with no homology to native substrates. However, examination of these data together (fitness and phosphoproteomics) strongly suggests that a large number of the pY sites generated have a negligible effect on fitness. Finally, we test the hypothesis of pY counter-selection following the emergence of tyrosine kinases in metazoan species, but find no strong evidence for proteome-wide selection against spurious Y phosphorylation.

Expedited SARS-CoV-2 MPro inhibitor discovery through a modular, 'direct-to-biology' approach

Project description:Reactive fragment (RF) screening has emerged as an efficient method for ligand discovery across the proteome, irrespective of a target’s perceived tractability. To date, however, the efficiency of subsequent optimisation campaigns has largely been low-throughput, constrained by the need for synthesis and purification of target compounds. We report a high-throughput platform for ‘direct-to-biology’ (D2B) screening of cysteine-targeting chloroacetamide RFs, wherein synthesis is performed in 384-well plates allowing direct assessment in downstream biological assays without purification. Here, the developed platform was used to optimise inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 main protease (MPro), an established drug target for the treatment of COVID-19. An initial RF hit was developed into a series of potent inhibitors, and further exploration using D2B screening enabled a ‘switch’ to a reversible inhibitor series. This example of ligand discovery for MPro illustrates the acceleration that D2B chemistry can offer for optimising RFs towards covalent inhibitor candidates, as well as providing future impetus to explore the evolution of RFs into non-covalent ligands.

NSMF promotes the replication stress-induced DNA damage response for genome maintenance

Project description:Proper activation of DNA repair pathways in response to DNA replication stress is critical for maintaining genomic integrity. Due to the complex nature of the replication fork (RF), problems at the RF require multiple proteins, which remain unidentified, for resolution. In this study, we identified the NMDA receptor synaptonuclear signaling and neuronal migration factor (NSMF) as a key replication stress response factor that is important for ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) activation. NSMF localizes rapidly to stalled RFs and acts as a scaffold to modulate replication protein A (RPA) complex formation with cell division cycle 5-like (CDC5L) and ATR/ATR-interacting protein (ATRIP). Depletion of NSMF compromised phosphorylation and ubiquitination of RPA2 and the ATR signaling cascade, resulting in genomic instability at RFs under DNA replication stress. Consistently, NSMF knockout (KO) mice exhibited increased genomic instability and hypersensitivity to genotoxic stress. NSMF deficiency in human and mouse cells also caused increased chromosomal instability. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that NSMF regulates the ATR pathway and the replication stress response network for genome maintenance and cell survival.

Gene expression in nontumoral liver tissue and recurrence-free survival in hepatitis C virus-positive HCC

Project description:Background/Aims: Recurrence-free survival (RFS) following curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in subjects with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is highly variable. Traditional clinico-pathological endpoints are recognized as weak predictors of RFS. It has been suggested that gene expression profiling of HCC and nontumoral liver tissue may improve prediction of RFS, aid in understanding of the underlying liver disease, and guide individualized therapy. The goal of this study was to create a gene expression predictor of HCC recurrence in subjects with HCV. Methods: Frozen samples of the tumors and nontumoral liver were obtained from 47 subjects with HCV-associated HCC. Additional nontumoral liver samples were obtained from HCV-free subjects with metastatic liver tumors. Gene expression profiling data was used to determine the molecular signature of HCV-associated HCC and to develop a predictor of RFS. Results: The molecular profile of the HCV-associated HCC confirmed central roles for MYC and TGF-beta1 in liver tumor development. Gene expression in tumors was found to have poor predictive power with regards to RFS, but analysis of nontumoral tissues yielded a strong predictor for RFS in late-recurring (>1 year) subjects. Importantly, nontumoral tissue-derived gene expression predictor of RFS was highly significant in both univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model analyses. Conclusions: Microarray analysis of the nontumoral tissues from subjects with HCV-associated HCC delivers novel molecular signatures of RFS, especially among the late-recurrence subjects. The gene expression signature of the predictor gives important insights into the pathobiology of HCC recurrence and used in design of the individualized therapy.

The radish Ogura fertility restorer impedes translation elongation along its cognate CMS-causing mRNA [RNA-seq]

Project description:The control of mRNA translation has been increasingly recognized as a key regulatory step for gene control but clear examples in eukaryotes are still scarce. Nucleo-cytoplasmic male sterilities (CMS) represent ideal genetic models to dissect genetic interactions between the mitochondria and the nucleus in plants. This trait is determined by specific mitochondrial genes and is associated with a pollen sterility phenotype that can be suppressed by nuclear genes known as restorer-of-fertility (Rf) genes. In the study, we focused on the Ogura CMS system in rapeseed and showed that the suppression to male sterility by the PPR-B fertility restorer (also called Rfo) occurs through a specific inhibition of the translation of the mitochondria-encoded cms-causing mRNA orf138. We also demonstrate that PPR-B binds within the coding sequence of orf138 and acts as a ribosome blocker to specifically impede translation elongation along the orf138 mRNA. Rfo is the first recognized fertility restorer shown to act this way. These observations will certainly facilitate the development of synthetic fertility restorers for CMS systems in which efficient natural Rfs are lacking.
