Antagonism of mitophagy by Zika virus reveals Ajuba as a regulator of PINK1-Parkin signaling and PKR-dependent inflammation

ABSTRACT: Dysregulated inflammation is a key driver of disease following infection with the globally important human pathogens, Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus. However, specific mechanisms of inflammation are not well defined. Here, we demonstrate that ZIKV antagonizes mitophagy, or the process of selective degradation of damaged mitochondria. The mechanism of antagonism was through interactions between NS5 and the host protein Ajuba to prevent Ajuba translocation to depolarized mitochondria. We further identify a role of Ajuba in mitophagy through augmenting PINK1 kinase activity. Mitophagy suppression in infected Ajuba-/- cells amplified the cellular integrated stress response (ISR) to promote ZIKV replication, and increased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression dependent on the ISR kinase, PKR. Thus, ZIKV suppresses mitophagy to favor replication and this failure of mitochondrial quality control is translated to inflammation by PKR, suggesting new therapeutic targets to treat flavivirus disease.

Neuronal mitochondria transport Pink1 mRNA via Synaptojanin 2 to support local mitophagy

Project description:PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) is a very short-lived protein that is required for the removal of damaged mitochondria through Parkin translocation and mitophagy. Because the short half-life of PINK1 limits its ability to be trafficked into neurites, local translation is required for this mitophagy pathway to be active far from the soma. The Pink1 transcript is associated with and cotransported with neuronal mitochondria. In concert with translation, the mitochondrial outer membrane protein Synaptojanin 2 Binding Protein (SYNJ2BP) and Synaptojanin 2 (SYNJ2) are required for tethering Pink1 mRNA to mitochondria via an RNA-binding domain in SYNJ2. This neuron-specific adaptation for local translation of PINK1 provides distal mitochondria with a continuous supply of PINK1 for activation of mitophagy.

The LIM protein Ajuba promotes a metastatic phenotype in colon cancer cells

Project description:RNA-seq of Colon cancer cell line Sw480 with Ajuba OE and KD.Colon cancer, along with its potential for recurrence and metastasis is a major health problem. Understanding the proteins and pathways that regulate cell growth and metastasis may provide new targets for patient care. Ajuba is a LIM domain protein often found overexpressed in cancers, however the exact function role of Ajuba in colon cancer is not known. Our data demonstrates that Ajuba is highly expressed in colon cancer cell lines and tumour tissue compared to adjacent non-tumour tissue. Using publicly available data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, we correlated poor colon cancer patient survival with high Ajuba expression. To investigate the function of Ajuba in colon cancer metastasis we transduced cells with lentiviral constructs to knock down and overexpress Ajuba protein and performed an RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis on each modified line. Analysing the pathways enriched in the differentially expressed genes, we found Ajuba to be involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. We confirmed our findings in biological assays, cells depleted of Ajuba were less proliferative, more sensitive to irradiation, migrated less and were less efficient in colony formation. Our data indicates that increased Ajuba expression observed in colon cancer supports proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and metastasis.

Optogenetic control of the integrated stress response reveals proportional encoding and the stress memory landscape

Project description:To understand ISR signaling we engineered photo-switchable control over the ISR stress sensor kinase PKR (opto-PKR), which allows virtual control of the ISR. Using controlled light inputs to activate opto-PKR we traced information flow in the ISR both globally, in the transcriptome, and for key ISR effectors

The LIM protein AJUBA promotes colorectal cancer cell survival through suppression of JAK1/STAT1/IFIT2 network

Project description:Background and Aims: The LIM protein AJUBA participates in the regulation of cell adhesion, mitosis, DNA damage, cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and gene transcription, yet its roles in tumor development and progression are poorly defined. The aim is to determine the role of AJUBA in colorectal tumorigenesis. Methods: We performed data mining in Oncomine databases and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays on 67 paired colorectal cancer (CRC) samples; we manipulated the AJUBA expression in SW-1116 and Caco-2 cells using specific shRNA and overexpression plasmids and performed assays for cell viability, cell cycle and apoptosis; we performed RNA-seq and qRT-PCR assays to identify genes regulated by AJUBA; we performed western blot, co-immunoprecipitation assays to study the interaction of AJUBA and JAK/STAT; Results: We discovered that AJUBA is highly expressed in CRC and promotes CRC cell growth in culture and in xenograted mice via an inhibition of apoptosis by repression of the IFIT2 gene. AJUBA specifically binds the FERM domain of JAK1 to dissociate JAK1 from the IFNγ recepter, resulted in inhibition of STAT1 phosporylation and concomitantly its nuclear translocation. Clinically, the level of AJUBA in CRC specimens is negatively correlated with the levels of IFIT2 and pSTAT1. Conclusion: Ajuba functions as a specific suppressor of the Interferon-activated JAK1/STAT1 signaling to promote colorectal cancer development via an inhibition of Interferon induced apoptosis.

JEV and ZIKV NS5 interactome

Project description:Among the flaviviral proteins, NS5 is the largest and most conserved. NS5 contains major enzymatic components of the viral replication complex. Disruption of the common key NS5-host protein-protein interactions critical for viral replication could aid in the development of broad-spectrum anti-flaviviral therapeutics. To this end, we investigated the JEV- and ZIKV-NS5 interactomes in human cells using GFP pull-downs with mass spectrometry analysis in a label-free fashion. A total of 138 cellular proteins interacting with NS5 from JEV, ZIKV, or both were identified as Protein classification analysis of identified cellular targets revealed the enrichment of RNA binding, processing and splicing including spliceosomal and spliceosome-associated proteins in both datasets. Comparison of our data with literature not only revealed several cellular NS5 interacting proteins shared among flaviviruses, but also identified proteins that have no known function in flavivirus biology such as RNA polymerase II-associated Paf1 complex, protein phosphatase 6, and s-adenosylmethionine synthetase. Our study generates the first landscape of the JEV and ZIKV NS5 interactome in human cells and identifies cellular proteins that are potentially targetable for broad-spectrum anti-flaviviral therapy.

Zika Virus Non-Coding RNAs Antagonize Antiviral Responses by PKR-Mediated Translational Arrest (Ribo-Seq)

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes severe outbreaks in human populations. ZIKV infection leads to the accumulation of small non-coding viral RNAs (known as sfRNAs) that are crucial for evasion of antiviral responses and for viral pathogenesis. However, the mechanistic understanding of how sfRNAs function remains incomplete. Here, we use recombinant ZIKVs and ribosome profiling of infected human cells to show that sfRNAs block translation of antiviral genes. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that specific RNA structures present in sfRNAs trigger PKR activation, which instead of limiting viral replication, enhances viral particle production. Although ZIKV infection induces mRNA expression of antiviral genes, translation efficiency of type I interferon and interferon stimulated genes were significantly downregulated by PKR activation. Our results reveal a novel viral adaptation mechanism mediated by sfRNAs, where ZIKV increases its fitness by repurposing the antiviral role of PKR into a proviral factor.
