A prophage encoded actin-like protein mediates viral DNA segregation/replication in bacteria [Set1]

ABSTRACT: Active segregation of DNA in bacteria is catalyzed by cytomotive structures. Mediators of subcellular plasmid positioning are Walker-type ATPases (ParA), actin-like proteins, or tubulin homologs. These motor proteins are coupled to the DNA via adaptor proteins that recognize specific DNA motifs. Here, we describe that a temperate phage, CGP3, integrated into the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 encodes an actin-like protein, AlpC. Biochemical characterization confirms that AlpC is a bona fide actin-like protein and cell biological analysis shows that AlpC forms dynamic filamentous structures upon phage induction. The co-transcribed AlpA protein binds to a specific region of the phage DNA, possibly functioning as an adaptor protein that connects circular phage DNA to the tips of the AlpC filaments. The AlpC filaments transport phage DNA to the cell membrane of the host cell. Furthermore, both AlpA and AlpC are required for efficient phage replication. This is remarkably similar to actin-assisted membrane localization of eukaryotic viruses that use the actin cytoskeleton to concentrate virus particles at the egress sites.

Significance of Immunohistochemical Expression of Fascin-1 in Colorectal Carcinoma

Project description:Colorectal carcinoma is a major health problem. As a malignant tumor, the malignant potential of colorectal carcinoma is based mainly on its ability to metastasis to different sites. Fascin-1 is an actin binding protein which is involved in reconstruction of intracellular actin network, the latter enforces the neoplastic cell to invade surrounding structures.

Multimodal multiscale analysis reveals flexible DNA contacts of bacterial nucleoprotein filaments

Project description:Gene silencing in bacteria is mediated by chromatin proteins, of which Escherichia coli H-NS is a paradigmatic example. H-NS forms nucleoprotein filaments with either one or two DNA duplexes. However, the overall structures, arrangements of DNA-binding domains (DBDs), positions of DBD–DNA contacts, and determinants of genomic distribution for these linear and bridged filaments are uncertain. To connect H-NS structures that silence genes in vivo with features elucidated in vitro, we developed a multimodal multiscale analysis that combines a new method for chromatin reconstitution and mapping (Nitro-seq), ChIP-seq, tethered-nuclease mapping of DBD–DNA contacts (TEN-map), ·OH footprinting, molecular dynamics, and bioinformatics. We find that DNA sequence principally governs H-NS-filament location with indistinguishable sequence specificity in bridged or linear forms with or without the H-NS modifiers StpA and Hha and that DBD–DNA contacts vary in orientation and position with ~10-bp average spacing. Our results support a hemi-sequestration model of linear-to-bridged filament switching.

Gene Expression Profiles Induced by RNA interference on NSD1 Δ5Δ7, and NSD1 Δ19–23 isoforms in Fibroblast Cells II.

Project description:NSD1 Δ5Δ7, NSD1 Δ19–23 5’end and canonical NSD1 transcript are involved in cell cycle regulation and in tumoral and neoplastic development. Another NSD1 isoform AT2 target that might mediate the cellular division mechanisms is ARP3 actin-related protein 3 homolog B ACTR3B that may act downstream of the stress fibers and bundle of actin filaments formation

The Trichomonas PACK proteome - The Cytoskeleton of Parabasalian Parasites Comprises Proteins that Share Properties Common to Intermediate Filament Proteins

Project description:Certain protist lineages bear cytoskeletal structures that are germane to them and define their individual group. Trichomonadida are excavate parasites united by a unique cytoskeletal framework, which includes tubulin-based structures such as the pelta and axostyle, but also other filaments such as the striated costa whose protein composition remains unknown. We determined the proteome of the detergent-resistant cytoskeleton of Tetratrichomonas gallinarum. 203 proteins with homology to Trichomonas vaginalis were identified, which contain significantly more long coiled-coil regions than control protein sets. Five candidates were shown to associate with previously described cytoskeletal structures including the costa and the expression of a single T. vaginalis protein in T. gallinarum induced the formation of accumulated, striated filaments. Our data suggests that filament-forming proteins of protists other than actin and tubulin share common structural properties with metazoan intermediate filament proteins, while not being homologous. These filament-forming proteins might have evolved many times independently in eukaryotes, or simultaneously in a common ancestor but with different evolutionary trajectories downstream in different phyla. The broad variety of filament-forming proteins uncovered, and with no homologs outside of the Trichomonadida, once more highlights the diverse nature of eukaryotic proteins with the ability to form unique cytoskeletal filaments.

Pupylated proteins in Corynebacterium glutamicum revealed by MudPIT analysis

Project description:In a manner similar to ubiquitin, the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) has been shown to target proteins for degradation via the proteasome in mycobacteria. However, not all actinobacteria possessing the Pup protein also harbor a proteasome, suggesting fates for pupylated proteins other than degradation via a proteasome or degradation at all. In the present study we set out to study pupylation in the proteasome-lacking non-pathogenic model microorganism and biotechnological workhorse Corynebacterium glutamicum. A defined pup deletion mutant of C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 grew as the control indicating that pupylation seems to be dispensable under the conditions tested. By expression of homologous Pup carrying a poly-histidine tag in C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 we purified the first pupylome of a microorganism lacking a proteasome. Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT) unraveled 54 proteins being pupylated in this organism. Similar to mycobacteria, the majority of pupylated proteins in C. glutamicum can be classified as enzymes of the metabolism or as involved in translation. These results help to elucidate the common target pathways of pupylation in bacteria.

Calcium bursts allow rapid reorganization of EFhD2/Swip-1 crosslinked actin networks in epithelial wound closure

Project description:Changes in cell morphology require the dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. Calcium fluxes have been suggested as an important signal to rapidly relay information to the actin cytoskeleton, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the EF-hand domain containing protein EFhD2/Swip-1 as a conserved lamellipodial protein strongly upregulated in Drosophila macrophages at the onset of metamorphosis when macrophage behavior shifts from quiescent to migratory state. Loss- and gain-of-function analysis confirm a critical function of EFhD2/Swip-1 in lamellipodial cell migration in fly and mouse melanoma cells. Contrary to previous assumptions, TIRF-analyses unambiguously demonstrate that EFhD2/Swip-1 proteins efficiently cross-link actin filaments in a calcium-dependent manner. Using a single-cell wounding model, we show that EFhD2/Swip-1 promotes wound closure in a calcium-dependent manner. Mechanistically, our data suggest that transient calcium bursts reduce EFhD2/Swip-1 cross-linking activity and thereby promote rapid reorganization of existing actin networks to drive epithelial wound closure.

Control of a programmed cell death pathway in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by a ppGpp-responsive antiterminator [RNAtag-seq]

Project description:In the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa the alp system encodes a programmed cell death (PCD) pathway that is switched on in a subset of cells in response to DNA damage. Here we show that the central regulator of this pathway, AlpA, exerts its effects by acting as an antiterminator rather than a transcription activator. In particular, we present evidence that AlpA positively regulates the alpBCDE cell lysis genes, as well as genes in a second newly identified operon, by recognizing specific DNA sites within the promoter, then binding RNA polymerase directly and allowing it to bypass intrinsic terminators positioned downstream. We further show that the activity of AlpA is potentiated by the alarmone ppGpp, which is produced by the cell in response to stress. Through its responsiveness to ppGpp, AlpA can integrate environmental cues into the decision to execute a PCD pathway that is linked to the virulence of the organism.
