Double-stranded RNA triggers a distinct integrated stress response in the early embryo [cas9 tol2]

ABSTRACT: Gene functional study and the emerging mRNA therapy technology heavily rely on in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA, but the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by-product generated during IVT is often recognized by cells as a marker of virus replication, leading to the integrated stress response (ISR).The biological effects of dsRNA in undifferentiated cells differ significantly from those of differentiated counterparts.Here, we found that dsRNA triggered an unprecedented ISR in zebrafish early embryos, leading to developmental delay, severe cell necrosis, and lethal malformations.Mechanistically, dsRNA stimulation caused a PKR-eIF2α independent global translation inhibition and a burst of p53 signaling. In turn, p53 activated Interferon Stimulated Genes (ISGs) and other defense-related genes in the absence of the IFN system. Unexpectedly, p53 does not promote cell death; instead, it plays a protective role in weakening the damage of translation repression by compromising protein turnover via enhanced ISGylation.This study thus unveils a distinct ISR upon dsRNA stimulation, which may help perform faithful gene overexpression in early embryos and shed light on the strategies of undifferentiated cells against RNA virus infection.

Double-stranded RNA triggers a distinct integrated stress response in the early embryo [RNA-seq, Ribo-seq]

Project description:Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is associated with virus infections and is present as by-products during the transcription of synthetic mRNA, which has been widely used in gene gain-of-function studies and serves as a core component in emerging mRNA-based therapies1-4. The presence of dsRNA in host cells induces an integrated stress response that functions to prevent virus replication and infection5,6. Unlike differentiated cells, undifferentiated cells adopt a distinct defense strategy against RNA virus infection7, but the mechanism is unclear. We show a previously unidentified response triggered by dsRNA in the early embryo. Although dsRNA causes a global protein translation inhibition in a PKR-eIF2α independent manner and leads to developmental delay and cell necrosis, it also strongly induces p53 activation, which then upregulates Interferon Stimulated Genes independently of interferon ligands. Importantly, we demonstrate that the burst of p53 signaling dose not result in cell death but functions as a protective mechanism against deleterious translation blockage by slowing down global protein degradation via ISGylation. Our work has identified a distinct dsRNA-induced stress response in the embryo, reflecting an ancient innate immune memory before the establishment of the IFN system. It also raises the provocative question as to the original protective role of p53 during evolution.

MS-based identification of AcP10 interaction partners.

Project description:In times of cellular stress, such as during virus infections, the integrated stress response (ISR) blocks translation initiation through phosphorylation of the essential translation initiation factor eIF2. Phosphorylated eIF2 (p-eIF2) sequesters the eIF2-specific guanidine exchange factor (GEF) eIF2B, thereby preventing eIF2 recycling. Here we describe the first example of a viral ISR antagonist that inhibits the ISR at its most central step: the interplay between p-eIF2 and eIF2B. Using AP-MS, we determine that BW10 binds eIF2B. There, it selectively displaces eIF2B’s inhibitor p-eIF2 without affecting the association of its substrate eIF2. By this mechanism, BW10 renders cellular translation immune to regulation by eIF2 phosphorylation. Thus, under stress conditions BW10 creates the unprecedented situation of high levels of p-eIF2 coinciding with unimpaired translation.

eIF2B-capturing viral protein NSs suppresses the integrated stress response

Project description:Various stressors such as viral infection lead to the suppression of cap-dependent translation and the activation of the integrated stress response (ISR), since the stress-induced phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 [eIF2(αP)] tightly binds to eIF2B to prevent it from exchanging guanine nucleotide molecules on its substrate, unphosphorylated eIF2. Sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) evades this cap-dependent translation suppression through the interaction between its nonstructural protein NSs and host eIF2B. However, its precise mechanism has remained unclear. Here, our cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis revealed that SFSV NSs binds to the α-subunit of eIF2B in a competitive manner with eIF2(αP). Together with SFSV NSs, eIF2B retains nucleotide exchange activity even in the presence of eIF2(αP), in line with the cryo-EM structures of the eIF2B•SFSV NSs•unphosphorylated eIF2 complex. A genome-wide ribosome profiling analysis clarified that SFSV NSs expressed in cultured human cells attenuates the ISR triggered by thapsigargin, an endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer. Furthermore, SFSV NSs introduced in rat hippocampal neurons and human induced-pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived motor neurons exhibited neuroprotective effects against the ISR-inducing stress. Since ISR inhibition is beneficial in various neurological disease models, SFSV NSs is promising as a therapeutic ISR inhibitor.

Rnase L reprograms translation by widespread mRNA turnover escaped by antiviral mRNAs

Project description:In response to foreign and endogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), protein kinase R (PKR) and ribonuclease L (RNase L) reprogram translation in mammalian cells. PKR inhibits translation initiation through eIF2 phosphorylation, which triggers stress granule (SG) formation and promotes translation of stress responsive mRNAs. The mechanisms of RNase L-driven translation repression, its contribution to SG assembly, and its regulation of dsRNA stress-induced mRNAs are unknown. We demonstrate that RNase L drives translational shut-off in response to dsRNA by promoting widespread turnover of mRNAs. This alters stress granule assembly and reprograms translation by only allowing for the translation of mRNAs resistant to RNase L degradation, including numerous antiviral mRNAs such as IFN- . Individual cells differentially activate dsRNA responses revealing variation that can affect cellular outcomes. This identifies bulk mRNA degradation and the resistance of antiviral mRNAs as the mechanism by which RNaseL reprograms translation in response to dsRNA.

Nucleophosmin sustains WNT-driven cell proliferation and tumor initiation in vivo

Project description:Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is a nucleolar protein frequently overexpressed in many solid tumours with little known about its functional role to support carcinogenesis. Here, we identify Npm1 as a commonly upregulated gene following Apc loss in highly proliferative tissues, and high expression correlates with increased proliferation in CRC patients. We show that NPM1 is dispensable for adult epithelial tissue homeostasis, however, it has a profound effect on WNT-driven intestinal and liver tumourigenesis, leading to reduced proliferation and extension of survival. Mechanistically, NPM1 depletion triggers integrated stress response (ISR) and p53 pathway activation. P53 deletion, or inhibition of the ISR effects, rescue proliferation following NPM1 loss. Overall, our results demonstrate that NPM1 supports WNT-driven cell proliferation and tumour initiation by attenuating p53 pathway activation or induction of ISR. Being dispensable for homeostasis, NPM1 presents as a promising target for cancer therapy in WNT-driven tumours with functional p53, including difficult to treat KRAS-mutant CRC and hepatic cancers.

ISR activation mediates the behavioral and neurophysiological abnormalities in Down syndrome

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability and a major biomedical concern. Despite a general consensus that protein homeostasis is essential for normal brain function, little is known about its role in DS. Here, we show that the integrated stress response (ISR)—a conserved signaling network that maintains proteostasis by controlling protein synthesis—is activated in the brains of DS mice and individuals with DS, leading to reduced translation. Genetic and pharmacological suppression of the ISR, either by inhibiting the ISR-initiating double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR) or boosting the function of the eIF2•eIF2B complex, which becomes limiting upon ISR activation, de-repressed translation, reversed enhanced inhibitory synaptic transmission, and rescued the deficits in synaptic plasticity and memory in DS mice. Our findings unveil a crucial role for the ISR in DS pathophysiology and suggest tuning of the ISR as a promising therapeutic intervention for DS.

Impact of eIF2α phosphorylation on the translational landscape of mouse embryonic stem cells [Ribo-Seq]

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) is critical for cell survival under stress. In response to diverse environmental cues, eIF2αbecomes phosphorylated, engendering a dramatic change in mRNA translation. The activation of ISR plays a pivotal role in the early embryogenesis but the eIF2-dependent translational landscape in pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESC) is largely unexplored. We employ a multi-omics approachconsisting of ribosome profiling, proteomics, and metabolomics inwild-type(eIF2α+/+)andphosphorylation-deficient mutant eIF2α(eIF2αA/A)mouse ESCs (mESCs) to investigate phosphorylated (p)-eIF2α-dependent translational control of naïve pluripotency. We show a transient increase in p-eIF2α in the naïve epiblast layer of E4.5 embryos. Absence of eIF2α phosphorylation engenders an exit from naive pluripotency following 2i (two chemical inhibitors of MEK1/2 and GSK3α/β) withdrawal. p-eIF2α controls translation of mRNAs encoding proteins which govern pluripotency, chromatin organization, and glutathione synthesis.Thus, p-eIF2αacts as a key regulator of the naïve pluripotency gene regulatory network.
