Nuclear Envelope Retention of LINC Complexes Is Promoted by SUN-1 Oligomerization in the Caenorhabditis elegans Germ Line

ABSTRACT: SUN (Sad1 and UNC-84) and KASH (Klarsicht, ANC-1 and Syne homology) proteins are constituents of the inner and outer nuclear membranes. They interact in the perinuclear space via carboxy-terminal SUN-KASH domains to form the Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex thereby bridging the nuclear envelope. LINC complexes sustain numerous biological processes by connecting chromatin with the cytoplasmic force generating machinery. Here we show that the coiled-coil domains of SUN-1 are required for oligomerization and retention of the protein in the nuclear envelope, especially at later stages of female gametogenesis. Consistently, deletion of the coiled coil domain makes SUN-1 sensitive to unilateral force generation across the nuclear membrane. However, absence of this domain does not lead to different expression levels of sun-1 and other known meiotic genes in the mutant compared to wild type. Premature loss of SUN-1 from the nuclear envelope leads to embryonic death due to loss of centrosome-nuclear envelope attachment. However, in contrast to previous notions we can show that the coiled-coil domain is dispensable for functional LINC complex formation, exemplified by successful chromosome sorting and synapsis in meiotic prophase I in their absence.

Depletion of Sun1/2 Induces Heterochromatin Accrual in MSCs

Project description:Mesenchyal Stem Cells (MSCs) differentiation into multiple lineages, such as osteocytes and adipocytes, has been shown to be regulated by mechanical signals. The Linker of the Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex has been shown to be required for mechanical signal transduction, regulation of MSCs differentiation, and nuclear integrity. The LINC complex is made of Nesprins and Sun proteins. Nesprin proteins associate with the cytoskeleton on the outer nuclear membrane and Sun proteins are bound to the inner nuclear membrane where they bind to inner nuclear proteins and chromatin. We investigated the role of the Sun1/2 in regulating the inner nuclear functions of chromatin organization and adipogenic differentiation independently of the LINC complex function. We show that depletion of Sun1/2 increased nuclear area and perimeter, and decreased circularity. Expression of a dominant-negative KASH (dnKASH) domain targeting the SUN domain on Sun proteins inhibiting Nesprin-SUN association resulting a loss of Nesprin localization to the nuclear envelope decreased nuclear area and circularity. Adipogenesis was inhibited during Sun1/2 depletion while dnKASH expression accelerated adipgoenesis. RNA-seq data showed decreased adipogensis and increased immune response during Sun1/2 depletion. dnKASH responded oppositely with increased adipogenic gene expression and decreased immune response. We also observed increased H3K9me3 levels, increased H3K9me3 foci count, and enrichment on Adipoq during Sun1/2 depletion. No increase of H3K9me3 levels, foci count, or increased H3K9me3 enrichment on Adipoq was found during dnKASH expression. We conclude that physically decoupling of the LINC complex via dnKASH accelerates adipogenesis and that Sun1/2 regulates chromatin organization and adipogenesis independently of the LINC complex function.

The effect of knockdown of SUN1/2 on LPS-primed macrophages

Project description:SUN1/2 are located on the inner nuclear envelope membrane, which comprise an N-terminal nucleoplasmic domain, a transmembrane segment and a C-terminal SUN domain. The nucleoplasmic domain of SUN1/2 interacts with lamina and/or chromatin binding proteins, while the SUN domain protrudes into the lumen of the nuclear envelope to interact with KASH proteins in a trimeric fashion. Defects in SUN proteins have been linked to human diseases including laminopathies, ataxia, progeria, lissencephaly, and cancer. To explore the role of SUN1/2 during macrophage activation, we explore microarray analysis of THP-1-derived macrophages after stable transfection of siVGLL4 for 48 h.

SWR1-independent association of H2A.Z to the LINC complex promotes meiotic chromosome motion

Project description:The H2A.Z histone variant is deposited into chromatin by the SWR1 complex affecting multiple aspects of meiosis. Here we describe a SWR1-independent localization of H2A.Z at meiotic telomeres and the centrosome. We demonstrate that H2A.Z colocalizes and interacts with Mps3, the SUN component of the LINC complex that spans the nuclear envelope and links meiotic telomeres to the cytoskeleton promoting meiotic chromosome movement. H2A.Z also interacts with the meiosis-specific Ndj1 protein that anchors telomeres to the nuclear periphery via Mps3. Telomeric localization of H2A.Z depends on Ndj1 and the N-terminal domain of Mps3. Although telomeric attachment to the nuclear envelope is maintained in the absence of H2A.Z, the distribution of Mps3 is altered. The velocity of chromosome movement during meiotic prophase I is reduced in the htz1? mutant lacking H2A.Z, but it is unaffected in swr1? cells. We reveal that H2A.Z is an additional LINC-associated factor that contributes to promote telomere-driven chromosome motion critical for error-free gametogenesis.

Phase separation of TAZ compartmentalizes the transcription machinery to promote gene expression

Project description:TAZ promotes cell proliferation, development, and tumorigenesis by regulating target gene transcription. However, how TAZ orchestrates the transcriptional responses remains poorly defined. Here we demonstrate that TAZ forms nuclear condensates via liquid-liquid phase separation to compartmentalize its DNA binding co-factor TEAD4, the transcription co-activators BRD4 and MED1 and the transcription elongation factor CDK9 for activation of gene expression. TAZ, but not its paralog YAP, forms phase-separated droplets in vitro and liquid-like nuclear condensates in cells and tissues, and this ability is negatively regulated by Hippo signaling via LATS-mediated phosphorylation and mediated by the coiled-coil domain. Deletion of the TAZ coiled-coil domain or substitution with the YAP coiled-coil domain does not affect the interaction with its partners, but prevents its phase separation and more importantly, its ability to induce expression of TAZ-specific target genes. Thus, our study has identified a novel mechanism for the transcriptional activation by TAZ and demonstrated for the first time that pathway-specific transcription factors also engage the phase separation mechanism for efficient and specific transcription activation.

T. Brucei, Nup-1 Depletion

Project description:Organization of the genome into compacted chromatin is a eukaryotic innovation facilitating increased sophistication in transcriptional regulation. In metazoa coiled-coil lamin proteins are major components of the chromatin organizer at the nuclear periphery and maintain nuclear integrity. While identifiable lamin homologues are restricted to metazoans, morphologically analogous structures maintaining nuclear organization in other eukaryotic lineages are known, but the molecular constituents remain undefined. Trypanosoma brucei NUP-1 is a large coiled-coil protein associated with fibrils at the inner face of the nuclear envelope. Using transcriptome analysis in combination with RNA interference and various imaging techniques, we demonstrate that NUP-1 forms a stable immobile cage around the nucleus, is required for viability and nuclear structural integrity, directs the positional organization of nuclear pore complexes, and serves to organize chromatin and specifically repress genes located at the nuclear periphery involved in immune evasion. Based on architectural similarity and functionality, we propose that NUP-1 is a novel, highly divergent lamin

The SUN1-SPDYA interaction plays an essential role in meiosis prophase I

Project description:Chromosomes pair and synapse with their homologous partners to segregate correctly at meiosis I. Association of telomeres with the LINC (Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex enables telomere-led chromosome movements and telomere bouquet formation, facilitating precise pairwise alignment of homologs. Here, we identify a direct interaction between SUN1 and Speedy A (SPDYA) and determine the crystal structure of human SUN1-SPDYA-CDK2 ternary complex. Analysis of meiosis prophase I process in SPDYA-binding-deficient SUN1 mutant mice reveals that the SUN1-SPDYA interaction is required for the telomere-LINC complex connection and the assembly of a ring-shaped telomere supramolecular architecture at the nuclear envelope, which is critical for efficient homologous pairing and synapsis. Overall, our results provide structural insights into meiotic telomere structure that is essential for meiotic prophase progression.
