Gene expression profiling by RNA-seq in the roots of wild-type, mctp4-1 single mutant (M6), mctp3-2 single mutant (M8) and mctp3-2/mctp4-1 double mutant (C2) Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.

ABSTRACT: Membrane contact sites (MCS) are fundamental for intracellular communication, but their role in intercellular communication remains unexplored. We show that in plants, plasmodesmata communication bridges function as atypical endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) tubular MCS, operating at cell-cell interfaces. Similar to other MCS, ER-PM apposition is controlled by a protein-lipid tethering complex, but uniquely, this serves intercellular communication. Combining high-resolution microscopy, molecular dynamics, pharmacological and genetic approaches, we show that cell-cell trafficking is modulated through the combined action of Multiple C2 domains and transmembrane domain proteins (MCTP) 3, 4, and 6 ER-PM tethers, and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) lipid. Graded PI4P amounts regulate MCTP docking to the PM, their plasmodesmata localization and cell-cell permeability. SAC7, an ER-localized PI4P-phosphatase, regulates MCTP4 accumulation at plasmodesmata and modulates cell-cell trafficking capacity in a cell-type specific manner. Our findings expand MCS's functions in information transmission, from intracellular to intercellular cellular activities.

Multiple C2 domains and Transmembrane region Proteins (MCTPs) tether membranes at plasmodesmata

Project description:In eukaryotes, membrane contact sites (MCS) allow direct communication between organelles. Plants have evolved unique MCS, the plasmodesmata intercellular pores, which combine organelle tethering with regulation of cell-to-cell signalling, the molecular mechanisms of which remains unknown. Here, we identify Multiple C2 domains and Transmembrane region Proteins (MCTPs) as tethers that link the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane (PM) within plasmodesmata. We report that MCTPs, including MCTP3 and 4 recently identified as modulators of SHOOTMERISTEMLESS trafficking, are ER-anchored proteins that cluster at plasmodesmata. MCTPs insert into the ER via their transmembrane region whilst their C2 domains dock to the PM through interaction with anionic phospholipids. A mctp3/4 loss-of function mutant induces plant developmental defects while MCTP4 expression in a yeast .tether mutant partially restores ER-PM tethering. Our data suggest that MCTPs are unique membrane tethers controlling both ER-PM contacts and cell-cell signalling.

Spatiotemporal profiling of membrane proteins involved in organelle communication

Project description:Organelle communication is largely mediated by proteins at membrane contact sites (MCS), such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria, ER-plasma membrane (PM), and mitochondria-lipid droplets (LD). In this project, we developed a new tool for identifying membrane proteins at MCS by utilizing two mutually orthogonal binding pair systems, streptavidin-biotin (SA-Bt) and cucurbit[7]uril-adamantane (CB[7]-Ad), in conjunction with two distinct engineered enzymes, TurboID and APEX2. This enabled us to successfully identify proteins at the contact sites of the ER and mitochondria, and further allowed us to detect protein sets that undergo structural and locational changes at the ER-mitochondria contact site during the process of mitophagy.

Neutrophil trapping and nexocytosis are mast cell processes for inflammatory signal relay

Project description:Neutrophils are sentinel immune cells with essential roles for our anti-microbial defense. Most of our knowledge on neutrophil trafficking and tissue navigation derived from models of sterile inflammation and infection. Here, we analyzed allergen-challenged mouse tissues and discovered that degranulating mast cells (MCs) trap living neutrophils inside them. MCs release the attractant leukotriene B4 to re-route neutrophils toward them, thus exploiting a chemotactic system which neutrophils normally use for intercellular communication. Neutrophils die as a consequence of mast cell intracellular trap (MIT) formation, but their undigested material remains stored inside MC vacuoles over days. MCs can use this debris to increase their functional and metabolic fitness. Additionally, they can also exocytose active neutrophilic compounds with a time delay (nexocytosis) and elicit a pro-inflammatory type 1 interferon response in surrounding macrophages. Together, our study highlights neutrophil trapping and nexocytosis as mast cell-dependent processes, which may relay neutrophilic features over the course of chronic allergic inflammation.

Expression profiles of embryo-defective Arabidopsis thaliana mutants increased size exclusion limit1 (ise1) and ise2

Project description:We use Arabidopsis thaliana embryogenesis as a model system for studying intercellular transport via plasmodesmata (PD). A forward genetic screen for altered PD transport identified ise1 and ise2 mutants with increased intercellular transport of fluorescent 10-kDa tracers. Both ise1 and ise2 exhibit increased formation of twinned and branched PD. ISE1 encodes a mitochondrial DEAD-box RNA helicase, while ISE2 encodes a DEVH-type RNA helicase. Here we show that ISE2 foci are localized to the chloroplast stroma. Surprisingly, plastid development is defective in both ise1 and ise2 mutant embryos. In an effort to understand how RNA helicases that localize to different organelles have similar impacts on plastid and PD development/function we performed whole genome expression analyses. The most significantly affected class of transcripts in both mutants encodes products that target to and enable plastid function. These results reinforce the importance of plastid-mitochondria-nucleus crosstalk, add PD as a critical player in the plant cell communication network, and thereby illuminate a new signaling pathway, dubbed organelle-nucleus-plasmodesmata signaling (ONPS). Several genes with roles in cell wall synthesis and modification are also differentially expressed in both mutants, providing new targets for investigating PD development and function. Three biological replicates each of either ise1 or ise2 mutant seeds vs. sister wild-type controls

Assaying effector cell-to-cell mobility in plant tissues identifies hypermobility and indirect manipulation of plasmodesmata

Project description:In plants, plasmodesmata establish cytoplasmic continuity between cells to allow for communication and resource exchange across the cell wall. While plant pathogens use plasmodesmata as a pathway for both molecular and physical invasion, the benefits of molecular invasion (cell-to-cell movement of pathogen effectors) are poorly understood. To establish a methodology for identification and characterization of the cell-to-cell mobility of effectors, we performed a quantitative live imaging-based screen of candidate effectors of the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum higginsianum. We predicted C. higginsianum effectors by their expression profiles, the presence of a secretion signal, and their predicted and in planta localization when fused to GFP. We assayed for cell-to-cell mobility of nucleo-cytosolic effectors and identified 14 that are cell-to-cell mobile. We identified that 3 of these effectors are “hypermobile”, showing cell-to-cell mobility greater than expected for a protein of its size. To explore the mechanism of hypermobility we chose two hypermobile effectors and measured their impact on plasmodesmata function and found that even though they show no direct association with plasmodesmata, each increases the transport capacity of plasmodesmata. Thus, our methods for quantitative analysis of cell-to-cell mobility of candidate microbe-derived36effectors, or any suite of host proteins, can identify cell-to-cell hypermobility and offer greater understanding of how proteins affect plasmodesmal function and intercellular connectivity.

Identification of a lipid droplet-plasma membrane tethering complex

Project description:Membrane contact sites (MCS) are interorganellar contacts that allow for the direct exchange of molecules such as lipids or Ca2+ between organelles, but can also be a mean for tethering of organelles. In mammals and yeast, LDs have been shown to engage in MCS with nearly all organelles in the cell, while in plants only LD-ER and LD-peroxisome contacts have been characterised. We here analyse three proteins, LD-localised SEED LIPID DROPLET PROTEIN (SLDP) 1 and 2 and PM-localised LIPID DROPLET PLASMA MEMBRANE ADAPTOR. Knockout of SLDP1 and 2, as well as knockout of LIPA lead to aberrant clustering of LDs in seedlings, while ectopic co-expression of SLDP and LIPA in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes is sufficient to reconstitute LD-PM tethering in this tissue, where LDs normally dynamically float in the cytosol stream. We propose a model, in which SLDP and LIPA interact and thereby form a tether to anchor a subset of LDs to the PM during post-germinative growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Mast cell intracellular traps (MIT) release neutrophil effector proteins during degranulation and nexocytosis

Project description:Degranulating mast cells (MCs) release inflammatory mediators (proteins, lipids, small molecules), including chemokines and chemoattractants, which recruit other immune cells in tissues. Neutrophils can initiate self-amplifying swarming responses via intercellular communication through the lipid leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Initially discovered by two-photon intravital microscopy in mice and confocal live cell imaging, we show that degranulating MCs release LTB4 and exploit this attractant by re-directing neutrophils to MCs. In a process generally termed entosis, neutrophil cluster formation around MCs results in the trapping of living neutrophils inside MC vacuoles in vivo and in vitro. Thus, we identify a novel cell-in-cell structure between MCs and neutrophils, which we term “Mast Cell Intracellular Trap” (MIT). Compared to MCs, MITs revealed improved MC metabolism and recovery after degranulation. This leads to several benefits for MITs: (1) they can be more efficiently re-stimulated than MCs, (2) they show improved survival under nutrient limitation, and (3) MITs store neutrophil proteins, DNA and effector molecules, which can be released after re-stimulation. In this context, we compare the secretome (secreted proteins) of MCs and MITs (in cell culture) before and subsequent to degranulation via label-free nanoLC-MS. In summary, mast cells trap and cannibalize swarming neutrophils, which supply nutrients, proteins and inflammatory molecules to recovering MCs. Our studies may have potential implications for chronically activated MCs in MC-related immune disorders.

NPC1 regulates the distribution of phosphatidylinositol 4 kinases at Golgi and Lysosome membranes

Project description:Cholesterol and phosphoinositides (PI) are two critically important lipids that are found in cellular membranes and dysregulated in many disorders. Therefore, uncovering molecular pathways connecting these essential lipids may offer new therapeutic insights. We report that loss of function of lysosomal Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) cholesterol transporter, which leads to neurodegenerative NPC disease, initiates a signaling cascade that alters the cholesterol/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) countertransport cycle between Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as well as lysosome-ER membrane contact sites (MCS). Central to these disruptions is increased recruitment of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases-PI4KIIα and PI4KIIIβ-which boosts PtdIns4P metabolism at Golgi and lysosomal membranes. Aberrantly increased PtdIns4P levels elevate constitutive anterograde secretion from the Golgi complex, and mTORC1 recruitment to lysosomes. NPC1 disease mutations phenocopy the transporter loss of function and can be rescued by inhibition or knockdown of either key phosphoinositide enzymes or their recruiting partners. In summary, we show that the lysosomal NPC1 cholesterol transporter tunes the molecular content of Golgi and lysosome MCS to regulate intracellular trafficking and growth signaling in health and disease.

Effect of experimental stroke on meningeal gene expression and the influence of mast cells on these gene changes

Project description:Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability and death. Inflammation plays an important role in stroke pathology, but the factors which promote brain inflammation in this setting remain to be fully defined. Here we investigate the meninges, the membranes that envelop the brain, for a potential role in modulating immune cell trafficking to the brain. We also investigate the potential of mast cells (MCs) to modulate this response as MCs are often considered as 'first responders' playing a critical role in the initiation and development of inflammation in many disease settings. We find that stroke increases expression of inflammatory and immune response genes in the meninges in mice consistent with a potential role in modulating immune cell trafficking. Moreover, genetic and cell transfer approaches identify MCs as important modulators of this response.
