Project description:For its association with chromatin, the cohesin complex depends on a heterodimer formed by NIPBL and MAU2. Variants in NIPBL are the main cause of CdLS and result in NIPBL haploinsufficiency. Using CRISPR, we generated cells homozygous for an out-of-frame duplication in NIPBL. Remarkably, alternative translation initiation rescued NIPBL expression in these cells and produced an N-terminally truncated NIPBL that lacks MAU2-interaction domain, causing a dramatic reduction of MAU2 protein levels while a lot of NIPBL functions remain intact.

Project description:More than a century ago Metchnikoff defined neutrophils as small amoeboid-like cells that harbored peculiar polymorphonuclear structures. While since these early studies much has been learned about neutrophil physiology, mechanistic insight into neutrophil polymorphonuclear assembly remains rudimentary. Here we found that depletion of factors, that initiate the loop extrusion program, including NIPBL and MAU2, greatly accelerated the conversion of mononuclear to polymorphonuclear cells and orchestrated the induction of a neutrophil specific transcription signature. Remarkably, mere ablation of either NIPBL or MAU2 expression under conditions that normally prevent neutrophil differentiation, swiftly converted mono-nuclear into polymorphonuclear cells that expressed a neutrophil specific gene program. Depletion of NIPBL and MAU2 in neutrophil progenitors activated an armamentarium of neutrophil-specific enhancers to establish a neutrophil genome depleted for loop extrusion-induced looping. These observations indicate that extinction of the loop extrusion program converts mononuclear progenitor cells into polymorphonuclear cells and suffices to induce a neutrophil specific program of gene expression.

Project description:In cyanobacteria and red algae, the structural basis dictating efficient excitation energy transfer from the phycobilisome (PBS) antenna complex to the reaction centers (RCs) remains unclear. PBS has several peripheral rods and a central core, which binds to the thylakoid membrane, allowing energy coupling with Photosystems II (PSII) and Photosystem I (PSI). Here, we integrated chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry with homology modeling analysis to propose a tri-cylindrical cyanobacterial PBS-core structure. Our model reveals a side view crossover configuration of the two basal cylinders, consolidating the essential roles of the anchoring domains comprised of the ApcE PB-loop and ApcD, which facilitate the energy transfer to PSII and PSI respectively. The uneven bottom surface of the PBS-core contrasts with the flat reducing side of PSII. The extra space between two basal cylinders of the PBS-core and PSII provides increased accessibility of regulatory elements, e.g., orange carotenoid protein, which are required for modulating photochemical activities.

Project description:The decision of metazoan cells to live or undergo programmed cell death hinges on the balance between the levels of pro- versus anti-apoptotic gene products. The general RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription factor, TFIID, plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression through its core promoter recognition and co-activator functions. The core TFIID subunit TAF6 is a co-activator for the pro-apoptotic p53 tumour suppressor protein. Our previous studies identified a specialized isoform of TAF6, termed TAF6 that can specifically be induced in apoptosis. To elucidate the impact of TAF6 on gene expression and cell death, we employed modified antisense oligonucleotides to enforce expression of endogenous TAF6. The induction of endogenous TAF6 triggered apoptosis in several cancer cell lines. Importantly, TAF6 also induces apoptosis in tumor cell lines devoid of p53, placing TAF6 function downstream of p53. Microarray experiments uncovered a TAF6-induced transcriptome landscape displaying enhanced expression of genes of the Notch, oxidative stress, integrin, p53 and apoptosis pathways. Our data show that the TAF6 pathway is a pivotal signalling nexus that controls pro-apoptotic gene expression programs.

Project description:The overall description of the project: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental cellular process frequently hijacked by cancer cells to promote tumor progression, especially metastasis formation. Molecularly, EMT is orchestrated by various molecular networks acting at different layers of gene regulation. Compared to transcriptional regulation that has been extensively studied in the context of EMT, post-transcriptional mechanisms remain relatively underexplored. Here, by taking advantage of pooled CRISPR screen, we analyzed the influence of 1547 RNA binding proteins (RBPs) on cell motility and identified multiple core P-body (PB) components as negative modulators of cancer cell migration. Further experiments demonstrated that depletion of the PB via silencing DDX6 or EDC4 could activate hallmarks of EMT thereby enhancing cell migration in vitro as well as metastasis formation in vivo. Integrative multi-omics analysis revealed that the PB could repress the translation of its target genes, including an EMT-driver gene, HMGA2. Furthermore, we demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is an intrinsic signal that can induce PB disassembly and translational derepression of HMGA2. Finally, we used mouse genetics to demonstrate that knockout of Ddx6 resulted in EMT-related defects in embryonic development. Taken together, our study has put forward a novel function of the PB as an EMT regulator in both pathological and physiological conditions. The description of the MS part: Recent studies have suggested that the PB is mainly involved in translational regulation. Therefore, we performed mass spectrometry analysis on DDX6- and EDC4-KO clones and parental cells to measure changes at the protein level upon PB perturbation. After filtering and normalization, 3,762 and 3,000 peptides corresponding to 3,721 and 2,991 proteins were identified in DDX6- and EDC4-KO cells, respectively, and their abundance was then compared to parental HCT116 cells. A good correlation between two independent gene KO clones was observed in terms of protein level changes. In total, DDX6-KO induced up- and down-regulation of 230 and 291 proteins, respectively, while EDC4-KO induced up- and down-regulation of 73 and 22 proteins, respectively. To assess whether the PB mainly contributes to the RNA degradation or translational repression of its mRNA targets in HCT116 cells, we compared the RNA level and translation efficiency changes of DDX6-bound genes with other genes upon PB loss. As a result, both DDX6 and EDC4 KO led to a lower RNA, but higher translational efficiency of DDX6-bound genes compared to other unbound genes, suggesting PBs mainly function as a translational repressor of stored mRNAs in HCT116 cells.
