Project description:Defects in mitochondrial metabolism have been increasingly linked with age-onset protein misfolding diseases such as Alzheimerâs, Parkinsonâs, and Huntingtonâs. In response to protein folding stress, compartment-specific unfolded protein responses (UPRs) within the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and cytosol work in parallel to ensure cellular protein homeostasis. While perturbation of individual compartments can make other compartments more susceptible to protein stress, the cellular conditions that trigger cross-communication between the individual UPRs remain poorly understood. We have uncovered a conserved, robust mechanism linking mitochondrial protein homeostasis and the cytosolic folding environment through changes in lipid homeostasis. Metabolic restructuring caused by mitochondrial stress or small molecule activators trigger changes in gene expression coordinated uniquely by both the mitochondrial and cytosolic UPRs, protecting the cell from disease-associated proteins. Our data suggest an intricate and unique system of communication between UPRs in response to metabolic changes that could unveil new targets for diseases of protein misfolding. Because the induction of the MCSR due to hsp-6 RNAi required both hsf-1 and dve-1, key transcription factors required for the HSR and UPRmt, respectively, we asked which gene sets are coordinately regulated by both factors. We performed microarray analyses to determine which genes have their expression altered by hsp-6 RNAi and whether these genes are regulated either by hsf-1, dve-1 or both

Project description:Global warming has great impacts on plant growth and development. Heat shock transcription factors are the master regulators of heat stress response to alleviate protein misfolding in the cytosol in plants. However, how plants deal with accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) under heat stress conditions is less understood, especially in crops such as in rice. Here we report a positive feed-back loop mediated by the membrane-associated transcription factors NTL3 and bZIP74 in heat stress response in rice. In response to heat stress, the ER-membrane-associated bZIP74 is activated and up-regulate the expression of NTL3 in rice; NTL3 encodes an ER-membrane-associated transcription factor that is activated and regulate downstream genes including bZIP74 involved in protein folding and reactive oxygen species scavenging. Loss-of-function mutations of NTL3 are sensitive to heat stress while inducible expression of the processed form of NTL3 increases heat stress tolerance in rice seedlings. Our work reveals the important role of NTL3 in ER stress response for heat stress tolerance in rice.

Project description:The accumulation of unfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes stress and induces the unfolded protein response (UPR) which is characterised in part by the transcriptional induction of genes involved in assisting protein folding. Translational responses to ER stress have been less well described and here we report on a genome-wide analysis of translational regulation in the response to the ER stress-inducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although the observed polysome profiles were similar under control and ER stress conditions microarray analysis identified transcipt-specific translational regulation. Genes with functions in ribosomal biogenesis and assembly were translationally repressed under ER stress. In contrast mRNAs for known UPR genes, including the UPR transcription factor HAC1, the ER-oxidoreductase ERO1 and the ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) gene DER1 were enriched in polysomal fractions under ER stress conditions. In addition, we show that splicing of HAC1 mRNA is required for efficient ribosomal loading and that Gcn2p is required for normal HAC1 splicing, so shedding light on the role of this protein kinase in the UPR pathway. Experiment Overall Design: Polyribosomes were extracted from S. cerevisiae cells treated with 2 mM DTT or water (control), and fractionated according to ribosome loading. Following RNA purification from these fractions, for each sub-polysomal and polysomal RNA sample, fractions from three independent extracts per treatment (DTT/control) were pooled.

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) couples cellular translation rates and gene expression to the protein folding status of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Upon activation, the UPR machinery elicits a general suppression of protein synthesis and activation of stress gene expression, which act coordinately to restore protein folding homeostasis. We report here that UPR activation promotes the release of signal sequence-encoding mRNAs from the ER to the cytosol as a mechanism to decrease protein influx into the ER. This release of mRNA begins rapidly, then gradually recovers with ongoing stress. Upon release into the cytosol, these mRNAs have divergent fates: some synthesize full-length proteins, while others are translationally inactive and retain nascent protein chains. Together, these findings identify the dynamic subcellular localization of mRNAs and translation as a regulatory feature of the cellular response to protein folding stress. Cells were treated with a timecourse of Thapsigargin or DTT, then fractionated and analyzed by mRNA-seq or ribosome profiling

Project description:Accumulated unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) will trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) to increase protein-folding capacity. The ER proteostasis and UPR signaling should be precisely and timely regulated. In the project, by unbiased proteomics analysis, we identify that the serine 357 of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is rapidly phosphorylated by the secretory pathway kinase Fam20C under ER stress. Remarkably, phosphorylated Ser357 induces an open conformation of PDI and turns it from a ‘foldase’ to a ‘holdase’, which is critical for preventing protein misfolding in the ER.

Project description:We are currently studying how these information-carrying oligosaccharides are involved in cellular stress responses, particularly in human genetic diseases called Congenital Disorders Of Glycosylation in which oligosaccharide assembly is defective. We are interested in endoplasmic stress responses/unfolded protein responses. ER glycans and ER lectins are intimately involved in the folding of ER proteins. Therefore, ER lectins and ER glycosyltransferases may be controlled by these stress responses, to produce and/or recognize key glycans in the stress response. Our model system is the human dermal fibroblast. We have successfully calibrated the ER stress responses in these cells by determining the magnitudes of various stress effects (such as chaperone transcription) with different forms of ER stress. We are also completing a study in which activation the signaling molecules Ire1 and ATF6 are also calibrated. We prepared multiple identical aliquots of RNA from cells stressed under several of these calibrated conditions. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR): Study of the role of ER stress in the expression of genes for ER transferases and lectins that participate in ER folding and quality control using human skin fibroblasts. The UPR response in these cells has been calibrated using various readouts in response to different stresses: 1) 40 nM L-azetidine-2-carboxylate (AZC) 1 hour, 2) 0.2 mg/ml castanospermine, 24 hours, 3) 2 mM Dithiothreitol (DTT), 20 minutes, 4) 100nm Thapsigargin (TG), 30 minutes, 5) 5 ug/ml tunicamycin, 5 hours, 6) untreated control cells

Project description:Immunophenotyping of tumor microenvironment (TME) is crucial for immunotherapy efficacy in patients with solid tumours. However, strategies to characterize TME are largely limited with huge heterogeneity. We show that endoplasmic reticular oxidoreductase-1α (ERO1A) induces an immune-suppressive TME and resistance to PD-1 blockade by promoting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Single-cell RNA sequencing analyses confirm that ERO1A is correlated with immunosuppression and dysfunction of CD8+ T cell along anti-PD-1 treatment. Ablation of Ero1a in tumours promotes the infiltration of lymphocytes as well as cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells and enhances response to anti-PD-1 treatment in mouse models.

Project description:Protein homeostasis is linked with aging and aging associated diseases. Oxidative protein folding occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and produces H2O2 as a byproduct. The role of oxidative protein folding in human stem cells aging remains unknown. Here, we succeed to knockout protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a key oxidoreductase for catalyzing oxidative protein folding, in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Deletion of PDI does not affect the self-renewal of hESCs but significantly delays hMSCs senescence. Mechanistically, knockout of PDI slows down the rate of oxidative protein folding and decreases the leakage of ER-derived H2O2 into the nucleus, therefore alleviating oxidative stress and the secretory-associated senescence phenotype (SASP). Among the SASP-related genes, SERPINE1 is identified as a key driver for cell senescence. These findings establish a novel link between oxidative protein folding and aging. The previously unrecognized function of PDI in regulating cell senescence provides a potential target for aging and aging-related disease intervention.
