Mapping the Landscape of a Eukaryotic Degronome

ABSTRACT: Maintenance of cellular protein homeostasis requires controlled temporal and spatial protein degradation as well as the continuous removal of damaged proteins. Despite our detailed knowledge of the cellular proteolytic network, little is known about sequence and structural determinants that target proteins for elimination (termed “degrons”). Here we introduce a systematic approach to map degrons, either native or out-of-frame. We use a reporter-based high throughput degron competition assay, followed by deep sequencing analysis, to quantitatively evaluate the degradation potency of thousands of polypeptides originating from the yeast genome (degronome). We show that our assay is quantitative and recapitulates relative degradation rates in vivo. By applying our assay in cells with deletion of the E3 ligase Doa10p, we identify specific targets in a principal branch of the ubiquitin-mediated protein quality control (PQC) pathway. We further compare nuclear and cytosolic specific degrons and identify substantial variations between the degradation signals in these respective cellular compartments. Our results provide the first comprehensive map of the yeast degronome and identify hundreds of degradation signals that reside within open reading frames of native proteins. Based on the versatility and robustness of the system described herein we anticipate that it can be utilized in more complex in vivo studies in eukaryotic cells aimed at better understanding how proteolysis regulates various cellular functions.

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana the evolutionary conserved N-terminal acetyltransferase (Nat) complexes NatA and NatB co-translationally acetylate 60% of the proteome. Both have recently been implicated in the regulation of plant stress responses. While NatA mediates drought tolerance, NatB is required for pathogen resistance and the adaptation to high salinity and high osmolarity. Salt and osmotic stress impair protein folding and result in the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER-membrane resident E3 ubiquitin ligase DOA10 targets misfolded proteins for degradation during ER stress and is conserved among eukaryotes. In yeast, DOA10 recognizes conditional degradation signals (Ac/N-degrons) created by NatA and NatB. Assuming that this mechanism is preserved in plants, the lack of Ac/N-degrons required for efficient removal of misfolded proteins might explain the sensitivity of NatB mutants to protein harming conditions. In this study, we investigate the response of NatB mutants to dithiothreitol (DTT) and tunicamycin (TM) induced ER stress. We report that NatB mutants are hypersensitive to DTT but not TM, suggesting that the DTT hypersensitivity is caused by an over-reduction of the cytosol rather than an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER. In line with this hypothesis, the cytosol of NatB depleted plants is constitutively over-reduced and a global transcriptome analysis reveals that their reductive stress response is permanently activated. Moreover, we demonstrate that doa10 mutants are susceptible to neither DTT nor TM, ruling out a substantial role of DOA10 in ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) in plants. Contrary to previous findings in yeast, our data indicates that N-terminal acetylation (NTA) does not inhibit ER targeting of a substantial amount of proteins in plants. In summary, we provide further evidence that NatB-mediated imprinting of the proteome is vital for the response to protein-harming stress and rule out DOA10 as the sole recognin for substrates in the plant ERAD pathway.

Project description:Irani2015 - Genome-scale metabolic model of P.pastoris N-glycosylation This model is described in the article: Genome-scale metabolic model of Pichia pastoris with native and humanized glycosylation of recombinant proteins. Irani ZA, Kerkhoven E, Shojaosadati SA, Nielsen J. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2015 Oct; Abstract: Pichia pastoris is used for commercial production of human therapeutic proteins, and genome-scale models of P. pastoris metabolism have been generated in the past to study the metabolism and associated protein production by this yeast. A major challenge with clinical usage of recombinant proteins produced by P. pastoris is the difference in N-glycosylation of proteins produced by humans and this yeast. However, through metabolic engineering a P. pastoris strain capable of producing humanized N-glycosylated proteins was constructed. The current genome-scale models of P. pastoris do not address native nor humanized N-glycosylation, and we therefore developed ihGlycopastoris, an extension to the iLC915 model with both native and humanized N-glycosylation for recombinant protein production, but also an estimation of N-glycosylation of P. pastoris native proteins. This new model gives a better predictions of protein yield, demonstrates the effect of the different types of N-glycosylation of protein yield, and can be used to predict potential targets for strain improvement. The model represents a step towards a more complete description of protein production in P. pastoris, which is required for using these models to understand and optimize protein production processes.
