Project description:Environmental stress, such as oxidative or heat stress, induces the activation of the heat shock response
(HSR) and leads to an increase in the heat shock proteins (HSPs) level. These HSPs act as molecular
chaperones to maintain cellular proteostasis. Controlled by highly intricate regulatory mechanisms,
having stress-induced activation and feedback regulations with multiple partners, the HSR is still
incompletely understood. In this context, we propose a minimal molecular model for the gene
regulatory network of the HSR that reproduces quantitatively different heat shock experiments both
on heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and HSPs activities. This model, which is based on chemical kinetics
laws, is kept with a low dimensionality without altering the biological interpretation of the model
dynamics. This simplistic model highlights the titration of HSF1 by chaperones as the guiding line of
the network. Moreover, by a steady states analysis of the network, three different temperature stress
regimes appear: normal, acute, and chronic, where normal stress corresponds to pseudo thermal
adaption. The protein triage that governs the fate of damaged proteins or the different stress regimes
are consequences of the titration mechanism. The simplicity of the present model is of interest in
order to study detailed modelling of cross regulation between the HSR and other major genetic
networks like the cell cycle or the circadian clock.

Project description:Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) is best known as the master transcriptional regulator of the heat-shock response (HSR), a conserved adaptive mechanism critical for protein homeostasis (proteostasis). Combining a genome-wide RNAi library with an HSR reporter, we identified JMJD6 as an essential mediator of HSF1 activity. In follow-up studies, we found that JMJD6 is itself a non-canonical transcriptional target of HSF1 which acts as a critical regulator of proteostasis. In a positive feedback circuit, HSF1 binds and promotes JMJD6 expression, which in turn reduces HSP70 R469 monomethylation to disrupt HSP70-HSF1 repressive complexes resulting in enhanced HSF1 activation. Thus, JMJD6 is intricately wired into the proteostasis network where it plays a critical role for cellular adaptation to proteotoxic stress.

Project description:Background. The Heat Shock Response (HSR) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that helps cells adapt to environmental stresses. Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) is a master HSR transcription factor that is long known to bind at promoters of its target HSP genes to rapidly activate their transcription. However, recent genome-wide studies revealed HSF1 binding at thousands of sites outside of heat-shock responsive gene promoters, implying a broader role of HSF1 in HSR. Results. We asked how the widespread HSF1 binding is established and to what extent it may be related to transcription activation. To answer these questions, we examined responses of two different human cancer cell lines to two stimuli that induce HSR, exposure to 42C and inorganic arsenic at the ambient temperature, by manually integrating ChIP-sequencing against HSF1, RNA Pol II, H3K4Me3 with nascent RNA- and ATAC-sequencing datasets in cells before and during HSR induced by these two stimuli. We show that widespread HSF1 binding is a temperature-agnostic hallmark of HSR whose genome-wide patterns combine cell type specificity with robustness to the nature of a stimulus and magnitude of activation. Mechanistically, HSR involves amplification of pre-existing low level HSF1 binding with few changes in accessible chromatin. HSF1 binding patterns show more stability than transcriptionally activated genes both between conditions and between cell lines. Conclusions. Comparing responses of distant cell lines to two HSR-inducing stimuli allowed us to define several features of HSR. Genome-wide HSF1 binding is a sensitive readout of HSR whose genome-wide patterns retain cell type identity across a broad dynamic range. The pre-existing genomic architecture is retained during HSR down to individual loci. Context-specific transcription involving common HSF1 binding favors a model of regulation by combinatory interplay of rigid transcription factor patterns.

Project description:Heat shock response (HSR) is critical for survival of organisms undergoing proteotoxic stress. Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is widely believed to be the master regulator of this response. Here, we examined the kinetics of the transcriptional response and HSF1 binding changes genome-wide after heat shock (HS) with high sensitivity and high spatial and temporal resolution using PRO-seq and ChIP-seq assays respectively in wild type and in hsf1-deletion mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The transcriptional response is rapid, dynamic, and extensive with activation of several hundred genes and repression of several thousands of genes. Although HSF1 is critically required for classical inducible Heat Shock Protein (HSP) genes, it is not required for the majority of gene activation. HSF1 acts mechanistically to promote RNA polymerase II (Pol II) release from the promoter-proximal pause, while recruitment and initiation of Pol II are predominantly HSF1-independent. Surprisingly, a major class of cytoskeleton genes is immediately (within 2.5 minutes) and transiently activated in an HSF1-independent manner. A second wave of regulation is characterized by robust activation or repression of new sets of genes. The broad repression of thousands of genes, a quarter of which are repressed immediately upon HS and the rest are repressed in the second wave of regulation, is mediated at the level of decreasing Pol II pause release and not at prior steps of Pol II recruitment or initiation. Notably, heat shock does not induce transcription of some previously defined HSP genes, and HSF2 â a homolog of HSF1 â does not compensate for the lack of HSF1. Together, these findings indicate that mammalian cells cope with stress by rapidly inducing pervasive and dramatic changes in transcription that are largely modulated at the step of pause release, and only a fraction of this regulation is HSF1-dependent.

Project description:How heat shock induces the heat shock response (HSR) - a gene expression program encoding chaperones and other protein homeostasis (proteostasis) factors - remains an unresolved question in eukaryotic cell biology. Here we show that subcellular localization of the conserved J-protein Sis1 is a key regulator of the HSR in yeast. Under nonstress conditions, nucleoplasmic Sis1 promotes interaction between the chaperone Hsp70 and the transcription factor Hsf1 to repress the HSR. Heat shock triggers Sis1 to localize to the periphery of the nucleolus and to condense on the ER surface. Sis1 recruits the proteasome to this spatial network along with disaggregases and the ribosome quality control complex. Through localization dynamics, Sis1 relays the condition of the proteome to Hsf1. We conclude that the activation state of the HSR is determined by the spatial organization of the proteostasis network.

Project description:Disruption of circadian clocks exacerbates various diseases, in part likely due to impaired stress resistance. It is unclear how nearly lethal stresses affect circadian clocks. We found that near-lethal doses of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced critical oxidative stress (cOS) at the branch point of life and death resets circadian clocks, synergistically evoking protective responses for cell survival. The cOS-triggered clock resetting and pro-survival responses are mediated by transcription factor, central clock-regulatory BMAL1 and heat shock stress-responsive (HSR) HSF1. Casein kinase II (CK2) –mediated phosphorylation regulates dimerization and function of BMAL1 and HSF1 to control the cOS-evoked responses. The core cOS-responsive transcriptome includes CK2-orchestrated crosstalk between the circadian, HSR, NFκB-mediated anti-apoptotic, and Nrf2-mediated anti-oxidant pathways. This novel circadian-adaptive signaling system likely plays fundamental protective roles in ROS-inducible disorders, various diseases, and death.

Project description:Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is well known for its role in the heat shock response (HSR), where it drives a transcriptional program comprising heat shock protein (HSP) genes, and in tumorigenesis, where it drives a program comprising HSPs and many non-canonical target genes that support malignancy. Here, we find that HSF2, an HSF1 paralog with no significant role in the HSR, physically and functionally interacts with HSF1 across diverse types of cancer. HSF1 and HSF2 have strikingly similar chromatin occupancy and regulate a common set of genes which include both HSPs and non-canonical transcriptional targets with roles critical in supporting malignancy. Loss of either HSF1 or HSF2 results in a dysregulated response to nutrient stresses in vitro and reduced tumor progression in cancer cell line xenografts. Taken together, these findings establish HSF2 as a critical cofactor of HSF1 in driving a cancer cell transcriptional program to support the anabolic malignant state.
