Coordination between the eIF2 kinase GCN2 and p53 signaling supports purine metabolism and the progression of prostate cancer

ABSTRACT: Cancers invoke various pathways to mitigate external and internal stresses to continue their growth and progression. We previously reported that the eIF2 kinase GCN2 and the integrated stress response are constitutively active in prostate cancer (PCa) and are required to maintain amino acid homeostasis needed to fuel tumor growth. However, although loss of GCN2 function reduces intracellular amino acid availability and PCa growth, there is no appreciable cell death. Here, we discovered that the loss of GCN2 in PCa induces prosenescent p53 signaling. This p53 activation occurred through GCN2 inhibition-dependent reductions in purine nucleotides that impaired ribosome biogenesis and, consequently, induced the impaired ribosome biogenesis checkpoint. p53 signaling induced cell cycle arrest and senescence that promoted the survival of GCN2-deficient PCa cells. Depletion of GCN2 combined with loss of p53 or pharmacological inhibition of de novo purine biosynthesis reduced proliferation and enhanced cell death in PCa cell lines, organoids, and xenograft models. Our findings highlight the coordinated interplay between GCN2 and p53 regulation during nutrient stress and provide insight into how they could be targeted in developing new therapeutic strategies for PCa.

Selective control of metabolism by the GCN2 eIF2 kinase pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:When eukaryotic cells are deprived of amino acids, uncharged tRNAs accumulate and activate the conserved GCN2 protein kinase. We examine how yeast growth and tRNA charging or aminoacylation is affected during amino acid depletion in the presence and absence of GCN2. tRNA charging is measured using a microarray technique which allows for simultaneous measurement of all cytosolic tRNAs. A fully prototrophic and its isogenic GCN2 deletion strain were used. We measured relative tRNA charging levels in yeast strains with an intact and deleted GCN2.

Multiple mechanisms activate GCN2 eIF2 kinase in response to diverse stress conditions

Project description:Diverse environmental insults induce the integrated stress response (ISR), which features eIF2 phosphorylation and translational control that serves to restore protein homeostasis. The eIF2 kinase GCN2 is a first responder in the ISR that is activated by amino acid depletion and other unrelated stresses. Two processes are suggested to trigger an ordered process of GCN2 activation during stress: GCN2 monitoring stress via accumulating uncharged tRNAs or by stalled and colliding ribosomes. Our results suggest that while ribosomal collisions are indeed essential for GCN2 activation in response to translational elongation inhibitors, conditions that trigger deacylation of tRNAs activate GCN2 via its direct association with affected tRNAs. Both process require the GCN2 regulatory domain related to histidyl tRNA synthetases. GCN2 activation by UV irradiation features lowered amino acids and increased uncharged tRNAs and ribosome collisions are dispensable. We conclude that there are multiple mechanisms that activate GCN2 during diverse stresses.

Translational control through differential ribosome pausing during amino acid limitation in mammalian cells

Project description:Limitation for amino acids is thought to regulate translation in mammalian cells primarily by signaling through the kinases mTORC1 and GCN2. We find that limitation for the amino acid arginine causes a selective loss of tRNA charging, which regulates translation through ribosome pausing at two of six arginine codons. Interestingly, limitation for leucine, an essential and abundant amino acid in protein, results in little or no ribosome pausing. Chemical and genetic perturbation of mTORC1 and GCN2 signaling revealed that their robust response to leucine limitation prevents ribosome pausing, while an insufficient response to arginine limitation led to loss of arginine tRNA charging and ribosome pausing. Codon-specific ribosome pausing decreased protein production and triggered premature ribosome termination without significantly reducing mRNA levels. Together, our results suggest that amino acids which are not optimally sensed by the mTORC1 and GCN2 pathways still regulate translation through an evolutionarily conserved mechanism based on synonymous codon usage.

Identification of SENP5 target proteins by endogenous SUMO2/3 IP-MS

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is a complex and energy demanding process requiring tight coordination with cell growth and proliferation. Impairment of ribosome biogenesis activates a well-defined cell-cycle checkpoint that primarily relies on the activation of p53 signaling. However, there is mounting evidence that p53-independent signaling networks connect impaired ribosome biogenesis to cell cycle-checkpoints. So far, however, these pathways have remained largely enigmatic. By characterizing the nucleolar SUMO isopeptidase SENP3 and SENP5 we found that both isopeptidases control the SUMOylation state of specific ribosome biogenesis factors and regulate the 60S and 40S ribosome maturation pathways. Accordingly, inactivation of SENP3 and SENP5 induces a canonical p53-mediated G1/S arrest. Intriguingly, however, we discovered that inactivation of SENP3 or SENP5 drastically and specifically downregulates the expression of the key-cell cycle regulator CDK6 in a p53-independent process. Accordingly, depletion of SENP3 or SENP5 impairs G1/S transition and cell proliferation in both p53-proficient and p53-deficient cells. Strikingly, we further revealed that impaired ribosome maturation induced by depletion of a panel of ribosome biogenesis factors or by chemical inhibition of RNA polymerase I, generally triggers loss of CDK6 independent of the cellular p53 status. Altogether our data unveil a long-sought p53-independent checkpoint of impaired ribosome biogenesis. Since CDK6 represents a dependency in a subset of cancer entities, such as AML and lymphoma, we propose that this checkpoint can serve as an actionable drug target in tumor therapy.

A translation control module coordinates germline stem cell differentiation with ribosome biogenesis during Drosophila oogenesis [rRNA_RIP-seq]

Project description:Ribosomal defects perturb stem cell differentiation, causing diseases called ribosomopathies. How ribosome levels control stem cell differentiation is not fully known. Here, we discovered three RNA helicases are required for ribosome biogenesis and for Drosophila oogenesis. Loss of these helicases, which we named Aramis, Athos and Porthos, lead to aberrant stabilization of p53, cell cycle arrest and stalled GSC differentiation. Unexpectedly, Aramis is required for efficient translation of a cohort of mRNAs containing a 5’-Terminal-Oligo-Pyrimidine (TOP)-motif, including mRNAs that encode ribosomal proteins and a conserved p53 inhibitor, Novel Nucleolar protein 1 (Non1). The TOP-motif co-regulates the translation of growth-related mRNAs in mammals. As in mammals, the La-related protein co-regulates the translation of TOP-motif containing RNAs during Drosophila oogenesis. Thus, a previously unappreciated TOP-motif in Drosophila responds to reduced ribosome biogenesis to co-regulate the translation of ribosomal proteins and a p53 repressor, thus coupling ribosome biogenesis to GSC differentiation.
