Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis’success as a pathogen comes from itsability to evade degradation by macrophages. Normally macro-phages clear microorganisms that activate pathogen-recognitionreceptors (PRRs) through a lysosomal-trafficking pathway called“LC3-associated phagocytosis”(LAP). AlthoughM.tuberculosisac-tivates numerous PRRs, for reasons that are poorly understoodLAP does not substantially contribute toM.tuberculosiscontrol.LAP depends upon reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated byNADPH oxidase, butM.tuberculosisfails to generate a robustoxidative response. Here, we show that CpsA, a LytR-CpsA-Psr(LCP) domain-containing protein, is required forM.tuberculosisto evade killing by NADPH oxidase and LAP. Unlike phagosomescontaining wild-type bacilli, phagosomes containing theΔcpsAmutant recruited NADPH oxidase, produced ROS, associated withLC3, and matured into antibacterial lysosomes. Moreover, CpsAwas sufficient to impair NADPH oxidase recruitment to fungal par-ticles that are normally cleared by LAP. Intracellular survival of theΔcpsAmutant was largely restored in macrophages missing LAPcomponents (Nox2,Rubicon,Beclin,Atg5,Atg7,orAtg16L1) butnot in macrophages defective in a related, canonical autophagypathway (Atg14,Ulk1,orcGAS). TheΔcpsAmutant was highlyimpaired in vivo, and its growth was partially restored in micedeficient in NADPH oxidase,Atg5,orAtg7, demonstrating thatCpsA makes a significant contribution to the resistance ofM.tu-berculosisto NADPH oxidase and LC3 trafficking in vivo. Overall,our findings reveal an essential role of CpsA in innate immuneevasion and suggest that LCP proteins have functions beyond theirpreviously known role in cell-wall metabolism.

Project description:Macroautophagy/autophagy is a catabolic process that targets a wide variety of cellular components including proteins, lipids, damaged organelles, and pathogens. The autophagy protein ATG7 is involved in autophagy initiation by facilitating the lipidation of LC3/GABARAPs at the growing autophagosomal membrane. ATG7 is important for normal cellular homeostasis as well as diseased state such as tumor initiation and progression in various tumors. A short isoform of ATG7, termed ATG7(2) in contrast to the full-length ATG7(1), is unable to perform the characterized ATG7 mediated autophagy lipidation activity. In this study, we found that ATG7(1) and ATG7(2) are not correlated in expression in human tissues. They have different patterns of expression indicating that these isoforms are involved in diverse cellular mechanisms. To address the functional role of the short ATG7(2) isoform, we performed mass spectrometry analysis of the protein interactome of ATG7(1) and ATG7(2). This revealed that whereas ATG7(1) interacts with the autophagy machinery, ATG7(2) interacts with key glycolysis and mitochondrial membrane proteins. Functional experiments showed that ATG7(2) expression mediates a decrease in glycolytic activity, opposite to the effects mediated by ATG7(1) expression. These findings suggest a molecular switch between main catabolic processes through isoform dependent expression of a key autophagy gene.

Project description:Autophagosome formation requires multiple autophagy-related (ATG) factors. However, we find that a subset of autophagy substrates remains robustly targeted to the lysosome in the absence of several core ATGs, including the LC3 lipidation machinery. To address this unexpected result, we performed genome-wide CRISPR screens identifying genes required for NBR1 flux in ATG7KO cells. We find that ATG7-independent autophagy still requires canonical ATG factors including FIP200. However, in the absence of LC3 lipidation, additional factors are required including TAX1BP1 and TBK1. TAX1BP1's ability to cluster FIP200 around NBR1 cargo and induce local autophagosome formation enforces cargo specificity and replaces the requirement for lipidated LC3. In support of this model, we define a ubiquitin-independent mode of TAX1BP1 recruitment to NBR1 puncta, highlighting that TAX1BP1 recruitment and clustering, rather than ubiquitin binding per se, is critical for function. Collectively, our data provide a mechanistic basis for reports of selective autophagy in cells lacking the lipidation machinery, wherein receptor-mediated clustering of upstream autophagy factors drives continued autophagosome formation.

Project description:The PI3K-PKB/c-akt-FOXO signalling network provides a major intracellular hub for regulation of cell proliferation, survival and stress resistance1. Here we report a novel function for FOXO transcription factors in regulating autophagy through modulation of intracellular glutamine levels. To identify novel transcriptional targets of this module we performed an unbiased microarray analysis after conditional activation of the key components PI3K, PKB, FOXO3 and FOXO4. Utilising this global pathway approach we identified glutamine synthetase (GS) as being transcriptionally regulated by PI3K-PKB-FOXO signalling. FOXO-mediated increase in GS expression specifically induced glutamine production independently of cell type, and this was evolutionary conserved. FOXO activation resulted in mTOR inhibition by preventing the translocation of mTOR to lysosomal membranes, which was dependent on GS activity. Increased GS activity resulted in increased autophagosome turnover as measured by LC3 lipidation, p62 degradation, and confocal imaging of LC3, p62, WIPI-1, ULK2 and Atg12. Inhibition of FOXO3-mediated autophagy resulted in increased apoptosis, suggesting that the induction of autophagy by FOXO3-mediated upregulation of GS is important for cellular survival. These findings reveal a novel signalling network that can directly modulate autophagy through regulation of glutamine metabolism. conditional activation of pkb and pi3k were followed in a timeseries. Each timepoint consists of 4 independent replicates, labeled with either cy3 or cy5 and put on array against time0.

Project description:ATG5 is a part of the E3 ligase directing lipidation of ATG8 proteins (mATG8s), a process central to membrane atg8ylation and its downstream homeostatic manifestations, including canonical autophagy, with impact on health. Genetic ablation of ATG5 in myeloid cells causes mortality in murine models of tuberculosis. Paradoxically, this in vivo phenotype is specific to ATG5 and does not apply to other ATGs. Here we show that absence of ATG5 but not of other components of canonical autophagy, promotes lysosomal exocytosis, secretion of extracellular vesicles, and in neutrophils their excessive degranulation. This is due to lysosomal disrepair in ATG5 knockout cells and sequestration of ESCRT proteins by an alternative ATG conjugation complex. These findings explain the unique nature of ATG5 in host-protective role in murine experimental models of tuberculosis, and emphasize the significance of the branching aspects of the atg8ylation conjugation cascade beyond the canonical autophagy.

Project description:To explore the mechanisms of autophagy in the regulation of vascular tumour cells, we generated three autophagy-related genes, Fip200, Atg5 and Atg7, knockout vascular tumor cells in 562 cell line by CRISPR-Cas9-based sgRNAs. Three independent replicates of mRNA samples were prepared from each KO cells and subjected to RNA-sequencing in comparison to three samples from control 562 cells. We examined changes in gene expression by transcriptional profiling of Fip200 KO, Atg5 KO, and Atg7 KO cells, compared to control 562 cells respectively.
