Metabolic Engineering of Squalene Biosynthesis via Different Genomes Impacts Non-target Cellular Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Pathways

ABSTRACT: The impact of metabolic engineering on non-target pathways is a poorly explored question that requires deeper mechanistic investigation. Therefore, Nicotiana tabacum was engineered via the chloroplast (C), nuclear (N) or both (CN) genomes to express genes encoding FARNESYL DIPHOSPHATE SYNTHASE (FPS) and SQUALENE SYNTHASE (SQS) to promote squalene biosynthesis. SQS levels were ~4,300-fold higher in C and CN lines than in the N line, but all accumulated ~150-fold more squalene due to substrate or storage limitations. Slower growth and abnormal flowering phenotypes occurred regardless of the compartment or level of transgene expression. Substantial changes in metabolomes of all lines were observed: 65-120 unrelated metabolites changed > 32-fold. Profound effects of transgenesis on non-target gene expression included changes in the expression of 19,076 transcripts by > 2,000-fold in the CN line; 7,784 transcripts by > 1,400-fold in the N line; and 5,224 transcripts by > 2,200-fold in the C line. Cell cycle-associated transcripts were disproportionally repressed in all three lines, as shown by both manual and Gene Ontology analysis, and transporter-related transcripts were induced. Trends observed in transcriptomes were further validated by qRT-PCR. The mechanism underlying these large changes likely involves metabolite-mediated anterograde and/or retrograde signaling.

Transcriptomic analysis of race L Botryococcus braunii AC768 revealed a race L-specific protein resembling the lycopaoctaene synthase

Project description:The green algal Botryococcus braunii (Chlorophyte) is known for accumulating high levels of hydrocarbons that are a useful alternative to fossil fuels. B. braunii is categorized into three groups based on types of their accumulated hydrocarbons: alkadiene/triene in race A, botryococcenes in race B, and lycopadiene in race L. Transcriptomic studies in race A and race B have discovered tremendous information related to the genes encoding proteins involved in hydrocarbon biosynthesis. However, transcriptome of race L has not been reported. In this study, we report a transcriptome of race L B. braunii AC768 through the de novo assembly using Hiseq platform. Our analyses indicate that photosynthesis and protein biosynthesis are the most abundantly transcribed in actively growing race L B. braunii. We show that the transcriptome of race L shares similar amounts (~20%) of mutual best-hits with that of race A or race B. Sequence homologous analyses indicate that enzymes involved in squalene and phytoene biosynthesis are well separated into geranyl-diphosphate synthase, farnesyl-diphosphate synthase, geranylgeranyl-diphosphate synthase, phytoene synthase, and squalene synthase. Both B. braunii specific enzymes botryococcene synthase SSL3 and lycopaoctaene synthase LOS are found to form distinctive subgroups in the group of squalene synthase. One of the ESTs in AC768 transcriptome that falls into the subgroup with LOS and shares >88% identity with that of LOS. Together, our results show that SSL and LOS are unique to race B and race L B. braunii subspecies, respectively. We propose that phytoene synthase in race L shares higher homolog to squalene synthase than phytoene synthase in other algae.

Bulk RNA of IL-4 and squalene treated MDM

Project description:We performed bulk RNA-seq on squalene/M-CSF-treated macrophages to compute the fold change of genes in the squalene/M-CSF compared to M-CSF alone treated macrophages. We then looked at the distribution of the log fold changes in the skin-derived TREM2 (607 genes) and M2-like (709 genes) macrophage scRNA-seq signatures. We found that the TREM2 gene signature was more highly induced by squalene/M-CSF than the M2-like macrophage signature. In these squalene-induced macrophages, we found upregulation of several of the lipid metabolism and pro-inflammatory genes present in the skin-derived TREM2 macrophage gene signature.

Calcineurin increases expression of aldosterone synthase via dephosphorylation of NFATc4

Project description:The mineralocorticoid hormone, aldosterone, is secreted by the adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) in response to high plasma K+ and hypovolemia and promotes renal Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion. Hence, the regulation of aldosterone secretion is critical for the control of ion homeostasis and blood pressure. While the kinase pathways regulating aldosterone production are well studied, little is known about the involved phosphatases. Using the human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line NCI-H295R, we found that the mRNA expression of the aldosterone synthase increases significantly within 6 hours after K+ exposure. This increase was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the calcineurin inhibitors tacrolimus and cyclosporine A. Calcineurin (Cn) is a serine-threonine-specific, Ca2+ and CaM-activated protein phosphatase essential for lymphocyte, neuronal and cardiac function. The physiologic role of Cn in the ZG cells and the molecular pathways by which Cn regulates the K+-stimulated secretion of aldosterone are unknown. To answer these questions, we stimulated NCI-H295R cells with K+ with or without Tacrolimus and studied the phosphorylation pattern of cytoplasmic proteins by phospho-proteomics. We generated a map of the changes in the Ser/Thr phosphorylation in adrenocortical cells upon stimulation with K+ and identified Cn-regulated phosphoproteins.

Viperin inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis and interacts with enzymes in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway

Project description:Many enveloped viruses bud from cholesterol-rich lipid rafts on the cell membrane. Depleting cellular cholesterol impedes this process and results in viral particles with reduced viability. Viperin (virus inhibitory protein endoplasmic reticulum-associated, interferon-induced) is an ER membrane-associated enzyme that when expressed in response to viral infections exerts broad-ranging antiviral effects, including inhibiting the budding of some enveloped viruses. Here we have investigated the effect of viperin expression on cholesterol biosynthesis. We found that viperin expression reduces cholesterol levels by 20 – 30 % in HEK293T cells. A proteomic screen of the viperin interactome identified several cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes among the top hits. The two most highly enriched proteins were lanosterol synthase and squalene monooxygenase, enzymes that catalyze key steps establishing the sterol carbon skeleton. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments established that viperin, lanosterol synthase and squalene monooxygenase form a complex at the ER membrane. Co-expression of viperin was found to significantly inhibit the specific activity of lanosterol synthase in HEK293T cell lysates. Co-expression of viperin had no effect on the specific activity of squalene monooxygenase, but reduced its expression levels in the cells by approximately 30 %. Despite these inhibitory effects, co-expression of either LS or SM failed to reverse the viperin-induced depletion of cellular cholesterol levels in HEK293T cells. Our results establish a clear link between the down-regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis and viperin, although at this point the effect cannot be unambiguously attributed interactions between viperin and a specific biosynthetic enzyme.

Targeting transcriptional dependencies in cancer using a covalent CDK7 inhibitor (expression)

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) plays a critical role in the general regulation of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. However, the absence of selective CDK7 inhibitors has hindered the ability to investigate the consequences of acute and prolonged inhibition of CDK7 under normal and pathological conditions. Here we present the discovery and characterization of the first covalent CDK7 inhibitor, CDK7-IN-1, that has the unprecedented ability to target a unique cysteine residue located outside of the canonical kinase domain, providing an unanticipated means of achieving selectivity for CDK7 amongst the 20 known CDKs. Cancer cell line profiling indicates that a subset of cancer cell lines, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), exhibit 100-fold greater sensitivity to CDK7-IN-1 over other tumor and normal cell lines. Genome-wide expression analysis in Jurkat T-ALL indicates that CDK7-IN-1 disproportionally affects RUNX1 as well as other components of the TAL1 transcriptional network and its targets, downregulating key regulators of transcription and apoptosis critical for the T-ALL state. These oncogenes are encoded by short-lived mRNA transcripts, are associated with super-enhancers, and exhibit a strong dependency on continuous transcription for sustained expression. Therefore, pharmacological modulation of CDK7 kinase activity may define a method for the identification and treatment of tumor types exhibiting extreme dependencies on transcription for maintenance of the oncogenic state.
