Stimulation of immunity-linked genes by membrane disruption is linked to Golgi function and the ARF-1 GTPase

ABSTRACT: Immunity-linked genes (ILGs) are activated by pathogens but also may respond to imbalances in lipids. Why pathogen attack and metabolic changes both impact ILG activation is unclear. We find that ILGs are activated when membrane phosphatidylcholine ratios change in secretory organelles in C. elegans. RNAi targeting of the ADP-ribosylation factor ARF-1, which disrupts the Golgi, also activates ILG expression, suggesting that activation of this membrane stress response could occur outside the ER. Our data argue that ILG upregulation is a coordinated response to changes in trafficking resulting from intrinsic cues (changes in membrane lipids) or extrinsic stimulation (increased secretion during immune response). Indeed, a focused RNAi screen of ILGs uncovered defects in secretion of two GFP reporters as well as accumulation of a pathogen-responsive CUB-domain fusion protein. These results also suggests that genes shared between the classical pathogen responses and lipid stress may act to counteract stress on secretory function.

The transcriptional responses of C. glutamicum to the secretory production of two different heterologous proteins

Project description:High level secretion of proteins via the Sec protein export pathway leads to secretion stress, a phenomenon that is thought to be caused by the accumulation of incompletely or misfolded proteins at the membrane-cell envelope interface. We have analyzed the transcriptional responses of C. glutamicum to the secretory production of two different heterologous proteins and found that, in both cases, the expression of the gene encoding a homologue of the extracytosolic HtrA protease was highly upregulated.

Exocyst Subunit Exo70B2 is Linked to Immune Signalling and Autophagy

Project description:During the immune response, activation of the secretory pathway is key to mount an effective response, while gaging its output is important to maintain cellular homeostasis. Exo70 subunit of the exocyst functions as a spatiotemporal regulator by mediating numerous interactions with proteins and lipids. However, a molecular understanding of the exocyst regulation remains challenging. We show that the Exo70B2 behaves as a bona fide exocyst subunit. Conversely, treatment with the salicylic acid (SA) defence hormone analogue Benzothiadiazole (BTH), or the immunogenic peptide flg22, induced Exo70B2 transport into the vacuole. We reveal that Exo70B2 interacts with ATG8 via two ATG8-interacting motives (AIMs) and its transport into the vacuole was dependent on autophagy. In line with its role in immunity, we discovered that Exo70B2 interacted with and was phosphorylated by the kinase MPK3. Mimicking phosphorylation had a dual impact on Exo70B2; first, by inhibiting localization at sites of active secretion, and second, it increased the interaction with ATG8. Phosphonull variants displayed higher Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI) and were hypersensitive to BTH, which induce secretion and autophagy. Our results suggest a molecular mechanism by which phosphorylation diverts Exo70B2 from the secretory into the autophagy pathway for its degradation, to dampen secretory activity.

A multi-omics approach reveals functions of Secretory Carrier-Associated Membrane Proteins in wood formation of Populus trees

Project description:Secretory Carrier-Associated Membrane Proteins (SCAMPs) are highly conserved proteins that are involved in membrane trafficking. An integrated approach was taken to elucidate function of SCAMPs in wood formation of Populus trees. The metabolomics analyses were performed in woody tissues of transgenic Populus trees carrying an RNAi construct for Populus tremula x tremuloides SCAMP3 (PttSCAMP3; Potri.019G104000). The secondary xylem of the transgenic trees displayed increases in the amounts of polysaccharide derived sugars as well as lignin oligomers, indicating increased deposition of both carbohydrate and lignin polymers in the secondary cell walls. Somewhat surprisingly, the transgenic lines showed significantly increased amounts of suberic acid in the secondary xylem tissues. Populus SCAMP proteins were shown to influence accumulation of secondary cell wall components including polysaccharides, polyphenolics, lipids and suberin in the woody tissues of Populus tree stems.

A Fungal Effector Suppresses the Nuclear Export of AGO1-miRNA Complex to Promote Infection in Plants

Project description:Communication between interacting organisms via bioactive molecules is widespread in nature and plays key roles in diverse biological processes. Small RNAs (sRNAs) can travel between host plants and filamentous pathogens to trigger trans-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) in recipient cells and modulate plant defense and pathogen virulence. However, how trans-kingdom RNAi is regulated has rarely been reported. Here, we show that the secretory protein VdSSR1 (secretory silencing repressor 1) from Verticillium dahliae, a soil-borne phytopathogenic fungus that causes wilt diseases in a wide range of plant hosts, is required for fungal virulence in plants through the suppression of trans-kingdom RNAi.

LiaR-dependent gene expression contributes to antimicrobial responses in group A Streptococcus [RNA-seq]

Project description:The ability to sense and respond to host defenses is essential for pathogen survival. Some mechanisms involve two-component systems (TCS) that respond to host molecules, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and activate specific gene regulatory pathways to aid in survival. Alongside TCSs, bacteria coordinate cell division proteins, chaperones, cell wall sortases and secretory translocons at discrete locations within the cytoplasmic membrane, referred to as functional membrane microdomains (FMMs). In Group A Streptococcus (GAS), the FMM or “ExPortal” coordinates protein secretion, cell wall synthesis and sensing of AMP-mediated cell envelope stress via the LiaFSR three-component system. Previously we showed GAS exposure to a subset of AMPs (-defensins) activates the LiaFSR system by disrupting LiaF and LiaS co-localization in the ExPortal, leading to increased LiaR phosphorylation, expression of the transcriptional regulator SpxA2, and altered GAS virulence gene expression. The mechanisms by which LiaFSR integrates cell envelope stress with responses to AMP activity and virulence are not fully elucidated. Here, we show the LiaFSR regulon is comprised of genes encoding SpxA2 and three membrane-associated proteins: a PspC domain-containing protein (PCP), the lipoteichoic acid-modifying protein LafB and the membrane protein insertase YidC2. Our data show phosphorylated LiaR induces transcription of these genes via a conserved operator, whose disruption attenuates GAS virulence and increases susceptibility to AMPs in a manner primarily dependent on differential expression of SpxA2. Our work expands understanding of the LiaFSR regulatory network in GAS and identifies targets for further investigation of mechanisms of cell envelope stress tolerance contributing to GAS pathogenesis.

Transcription profiling of mouse small intestine from PlagL2-/- animals reveals transcription factor PlagL2 regulates steps in chylomicron metabolism

Project description:Enterocytes assemble dietary lipids into chylomicron particles that are taken up by intestinal lacteal vessels and peripheral tissues. Although chylomicrons are known to assemble in part within membrane secretory pathways, the modifications required for efficient vascular uptake are unknown. We report that the transcription factor Pleomorphic adenoma gene-like 2 (PLAGL2) is essential for this aspect of dietary lipid metabolism. PlagL2-/- mice die from post-natal wasting owing to failure of fat absorption. Lipids modified in the absence of PlagL2 exit from enterocytes but fail to enter interstitial lacteal vessels. Dysregulation of enterocyte genes closely linked to intracellular membrane transport identified candidate regulators of critical steps in chylomicron assembly. PlagL2 thus regulates essential and poorly understood aspects of dietary lipid absorption and its deficiency represents an authentic animal model with implications for amelioration of obesity or the metabolic syndrome. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from 4 knockout and 4 wild-type mouse small intestines at 18.5 dpc using the Macherey-Nagel Nucleospin kit. cRNA synthesis and labeling, hybridization to Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) MOE430 2.0 expression arrays, and data acquisition occurred on the Affymetrix GeneChip Instrument System.

Golgi-IP, a tool for multimodal analysis of Golgi molecular content

Project description:The Golgi is a membrane-bound organelle that is essential for protein and lipid biosynthesis. It represents a central trafficking hub that sorts proteins and lipids to various destinations or for secretion from the cell. The Golgi has emerged as a docking platform for cellular signaling pathways including LRRK2 kinase whose deregulation leads to Parkinson disease. Golgi dysfunction is associated with a broad spectrum of diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. To allow the study of the Golgi at high resolution, we report a rapid Golgi immunoprecipitation technique (Golgi-IP) to isolate intact Golgi mini-stacks for subsequent analysis of their content. By fusing the Golgi-resident protein TMEM115 to three tandem HA epitopes (GolgiTAG), we purified the Golgi using Golgi-IP with minimal contamination from other compartments. We then established an analysis pipeline using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to characterize the human Golgi proteome, metabolome, and lipidome. Subcellular proteomics confirmed known Golgi proteins and identified proteins not previously associated with the Golgi. Metabolite profiling established the human Golgi metabolome and revealed the enrichment of uridine-diphosphate (UDP) sugars and their derivatives, which is consistent with their roles in protein and lipid glycosylation. Furthermore, targeted metabolomics validated SLC35A2 as the subcellular transporter for UDP-hexose. Finally, lipidomics analysis showed that phospholipids including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine are the most abundant Golgi lipids and that glycosphingolipids are enriched in this compartment. Altogether, our work establishes a comprehensive molecular map of the human Golgi and provides a powerful method to study the Golgi with high precision in health and disease.

Gene expression profile of M.tuberculosis espR (Rv3849) mutant

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a pathogen of global importance, utilizes the ESX-1 protein secretion system to export virulence factors that disarm host macrophages. Although this secretory pathway is critical for virulence, how ESX-1 is regulated is completely unknown. Here we show that EspR (Rv3849) is a key regulator of ESX-1. EspR activates transcription of an operon that includes three ESX-1 components, Rv3616c-Rv3614c, whose expression in turn promotes secretion of ESX-1 substrates. Keywords: Strain comparison Comparison of the global gene expression of three M.tb strains grown in log phase: Erdman strain of M.tb, espR transposon mutant, and the espR transposon mutant complemented with the espR gene
