A mycobacterial effector promotes ferroptosis-dependent pathogenicity and dissemination

ABSTRACT: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death caused by lipid peroxidation. Emerging evidence suggests several pathogens manipulate ferroptosis as a way for pathogen propagation, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we report that PtpA, secreted by intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a ferroptosis inducer during infection. Mechanistically, Mtb PtpA entries into the nucleus through the RaDAR pathway depending on the conserved cysteine 11 site, but not canonical ARs motif. Then, PtpA functions as an adaptor to increase the affinity between protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) with its substrate histone H3, thus promoting the asymmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2a), leading to repression of GPX4 gene expression and the ensuing ferroptosis. Accordingly, disrupting nucleus entry site or PRMT6-interacting motif of PtpA markedly eliminates the PtpA-induced ferroptosis in host cells. These findings find a new motif involved in intracellular pathogens effectors for entering host nucleus, and reveal an unrecognized regulatory role of PtpA as an activator of methyltransferases PRMT6 to promote ferroptosis in host nuclear, providing fresh insights into the mechanism of Mtb-induced cell death.

PRMT6 substrate specificity analysis

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) catalyses the asymmetric dimethylation of arginines on numerous substrate proteins within the human cell. In particular, PRMT6 methylates histone H3 arginine 2 (H3R2) which affects both gene repression and activation. However, the substrate specificity of PRMT6 has not been comprehensively analysed. Here we have systematically characterised the substrate recognition motif of PRMT6 in context of the histone H3 tail, finding that it has broad specificity and recognises the RG motif. Working with a H3 tail peptide as a template, on which we made 204 amino acid substitutions, we use targeted mass spectrometry to measure the effect on PRMT6 in vitro activity. We first show that PRMT6 methylates R2 and R8 in the H3 peptide, although H3R8 is methylated with lower efficiency and is not an in vivo PRMT6 substrate. Then, using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) with electron transfer dissociation (ETD), we quantify the effect of 194 of these amino acid substitutions on methylation at both H3R2 and H3R8. In both cases, we find that PRMT6 is capable of tolerating essentially any amino acid substitution in the H3 peptide, but that positively charged and bulky residues are preferred near the target arginine. We show that PRMT6 prefers glycine in the position immediately following the target arginine, indicating that PRMT6 recognises the RG motif. We confirm this preference for the RG motif on another PRMT6 substrate, histone H4R3. This broad specificity, along with recognition of RG rather than RGG, is distinctive among the PRMT family and has implications for the development of drugs to selectively target PRMT6.

Expression data of embryonic stem (ES) cells from both control and Prmt6 overexpressed population

Project description:ES cells are able to self-renew and remain pluripotent. These characteristics are maintained by both genetic and epigenetic regulators. Protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) 4 and 5 are shown to be important in early embryonic development and in ES cells. PRMT6-mediated di-methylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2) can antagonize the tri-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4, which marks active genes. However, it is unclear whether PRMT6 and PRMT6-mediated H3R2me2 play crucial roles in early embryonic development and ES cell identity. In this study, we investigate their functions using mouse ES cells as the model. We used microarray (Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0ST) to examine the global change of gene expression in mouse ES cells when Prmt6 was overexpressed and identified distinct classes of genes that are up-regulated and down-regulated during this process. Mouse ES cells were transfected with either pCAGIP.puro empty vector (control) or Prmt6 overexpressing plasmid (P+6 OE). After 3 days of selection by puromycin, cells from both populations were subjected to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Repressive mark H3K27me3 in PRMT6 KO NT2/D1 cells

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) is an epigenetic regulator of fundamental cellular processes, such as gene expression and DNA repair. Asymmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2a) is the major histone modification catalyzed by PRMT6. To identify the genome-wide deposition and transcriptional impact of H3R2me2a, we established PRMT6 deletion in a human cell model of neural differentiation. These knockout cells show severe neural differentiation defects. ChIP-seq profiling reveals that H3R2me2a is present at promoter as well as non-promoter sites in a PRMT6-dependent manner. Loss of H3R2me2a causes enhanced H3K4me3 deposition and target gene transcription supporting a genome-wide repressive nature of H3R2me2a. Intriguingly, the non-promoter H3R2me2a peaks co-localize with active enhancer marks, such as H3K4me1 and H3K27ac.

Microsporidian EnP1 alters host cell H2B monoubiquitination and prevents ferroptosis facilitating microsporidia survival

Project description:Microsporidia are intracellular eukaryotic pathogens that pose a substantial threat to immunocompromised hosts. The way these pathogens manipulate host cells during infection remains poorly understood. Using a proximity biotinylation strategy we established that microsporidian EnP1 is a nucleus-targeted effector that modifies the host cell environment. EnP1's translocation to the host nucleus is meditated by nuclear localization signals (NLSs). In the nucleus, EnP1 interacts with host histone H2B. This interaction disrupts H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub), subsequently impacting p53 expression. Crucially, this inhibition of p53 weakens its control over the downstream target gene SLC7A11, enhancing the host cell's resilience against ferroptosis during microsporidian infection. This favorable condition promotes the proliferation of microsporidia within the host cell. These findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms by which microsporidia modify their host cells to facilitate their survival.

Asymmetric demethylation at histone H3 arginine 2 by PRMT6 in gastric cancer progression (NUGC3 cell line)

Project description:Purpose: Dysregulation of histone H3 arginine (R) methylation is still unknown in primary cancer including gastric cancer (GC), although PRMT6 plays a role in asymmetric dimethylation at H3R2 (H3R2me2as) in cancer cells. The objective is to clarify biological and molecular roles of H3R2me2as-PRMT6 pathway in GC. Experimental Design: We assessed H3R2me2as and PRMT6 levels in 133 primary GC tissues by immunohistochemistry. We analyzed biological functions of PRMT6 in GC cell lines using a lentivirus overexpression and CRISPR/Cas9-based knockout of PRMT6 systems. Results: Increased H3R2me2as was found in 68 GC (51.1%) cases and independently correlated with poor prognosis. PRMT6 was overexpressed in 70 (52.6%) GC, which strongly correlated with the H3R2me2as levels (P<0.001). PRMT6 overexpression in GC cells enhanced global H3R2me2as levels, cell invasiveness in vitro, while PRMT6-knockout GC cells suppressed these effects. PRMT6 knockout also impaired tumorigenicity in vivo. Microarray and ChIP assays demonstrated that PRMT6-knockout GC cells decreased the H3R2me2as levels at the promoter regions of PCDH7, SCD and IGFBP5, resulting in up-reregulation of their gene expression. PRMT6 recruited at the regions of PCDH7 and SCD in the PRMT6-overexpressed cells. Knockdown of tumor suppressor PCDH7 in PRMT6-knockout GC cells elevated cell migration and invasion. PRMT6 expression inversely correlated with PCDH7 expression in primary GC (P=0.021). Conclusions: H3R2me2as is a strong prognostic indicator of GC patients. Global and gene-specific H3R2me2as are maintained by PRMT6. PRMT6-overexpressed GC cells may acquire invasiveness through direct inhibition of PCDH7 by increasing H3R2me2as activity. Thus, PRMT6-H3R2me2as pathway is a promising new therapeutic target in GC.

TRIM27 mediates protective immunity against tuberculosis by activating host autophagy flux

Project description:Infectious diseases, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-caused tuberculosis (TB), remain a global health threat exacerbated by increasing drug resistance. Host-directed therapy (HDT) is a complementing strategy for infection treatment through targeting host immune mechanisms. However, the limited understanding of the host factors and their regulatory mechanisms involved in host immune defense against infections has impeded HDT development. Here, we identify the E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif-containing 27 (TRIM27) elicits host protective immunity against Mtb. Mechanistically, TRIM27 enters host cell nucleus upon Mtb infection to function as a transcription activator of transcription factor EB (TFEB). TRIM27 binds to TFEB promoter and the TFEB transcription factor cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1), thus enhancing CREB1-TFEB promoter binding affinity and promoting CREB1 transcription activity towards TFEB, eventually leading to autophagy activation and pathogen clearance. Thus, TRIM27 contributes to host anti-Mtb immunity and targeting TRIM27/CREB1/TFEB axis serves as a promising HDT-based TB treatment.
