Project description:Neutrophils are highly abundant in the gingival tissues where they play an essential role in immune homeostasis by preventing microbial invasion. Here, we show that the oral periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis utilizes its cysteine proteases (gingipains) to disengage phagosomal antimicrobial capacity without inducing neutrophil apoptosis. Arginine gingipains are a sub-family of trypsin-like proteases produced by P. gingivalis that cleave several host proteins at arginine residues. We found that RgpB action is not limited to the extracellular or plasma membrane-associated host proteins but can proteolytically modify several intracellular proteins in neutrophils. We used 2D-DIGE coupled with mass spectrometry to identify neutrophil proteins susceptible to RgpB-mediated cleavage and determined the impact of these modifications on neutrophil antimicrobial capacity and inflammatory responses. RgpB cleaved several cytoskeletal and cytoplasmic proteins, including metabolic enzymes and antimicrobial proteins such as neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, and proteinase 3 within neutrophil granules. RgpB also directly primed neutrophils, increasing integrin expression and inducing broad transcriptional changes, consistent with proinflammatory reprogramming. However, despite their primed status and augmented inflammatory capacity, RgpB-treated neutrophils were conducive to intracellular bacterial survival due to the reduced activity of granule proteins and oxidative burst. Thus, our data show a previously unknown role for P. gingivalis proteases in the systematic inactivation of neutrophil microbicidal capacity via proteolysis of intracellular proteins.

Project description:Cell division ensures that both genetic information and non-genetic contents are inherited by daughter cells. Whereas considerable detail has been learned about the processing of intact or damaged DNA during the cell cycle (Branzei & Foiani, 2008; Klaasen et al., 2022),(Bakhoum & Cantley, 2018),(Hustedt & Durocher, 2016), how daughter cells deal with other forms of inherited damage is unknown. Here we identified a special kind of cytoplasmic granules responsible for the compartmentalisation of parental RNA damage. We found that ultraviolet (UV)-induced RNA, but not DNA, damage triggered assembly of this unique type of granules characterized by the presence of RNA helicase DHX9. By developing a novel methodology, FANCI, we discovered that DHX9 granules are enriched in damaged intron RNA and pre-mRNA-binding proteins, which is in contrast to other classical stress granules (SGs) that are composed of mature mRNA. Intron damage impeded proper splicing and intron decay, and induced generation of circRNA and dsRNA in the granules. Moreover, we showed that intron damage induced DHX9 granules assembled specifically in postmitotic daughter cells and triggered a cellular dsRNA immune response. Condensation with dsRNA is crucial for DHX9 localization to the granules and the modulation of dsRNA in these granules by DHX9 was crucial for daughter cell survival. Our observations revealed that DHX9 granules constitute a dedicated non-membrane-bound cytoplasmic compartment that protects daughter cells from parental damaged RNA.

Project description:Classically considered short-lived, purely defensive leukocytes, neutrophils are unique in their fast and moldable response to stimulation. This plastic behavior may underlie variable and even antagonistic functions during inflammation or cancer, yet the full spectrum of neutrophil properties as they enter healthy tissues remains unexplored. Using a new model to track neutrophil fates, we found short but variable lifetimes across multiple tissues. Through analysis of the receptor, transcriptional and chromatin accessibility landscapes, we identify varying neutrophil states and assign non-canonical functions, including vascular repair and hematopoietic homeostasis.

Project description:P granules in C. elegans are required for fertility and function to maintain germ cell identity and pluripotency. Sterility in the absence of P granules is often accompanied by the mis-expression of soma-specific proteins and the initiation of somatic differentiation in germ cells. To investigate whether this is caused by the accumulation of somatic transcripts, we performed mRNA-seq on dissected germlines with and without P granules. Strikingly, we found that somatic transcripts do not increase in the young adult germline when P granules are impaired. Instead, we found that impairing P granules causes sperm-specific mRNAs to become highly overexpressed. This includes the accumulation of major sperm protein (MSP) transcripts in germ cells, a phenotype that is suppressed by feminization of the germline. A core component of P granules, the endo-siRNA-binding Argonaute protein CSR-1, has recently been ascribed with the ability to license transcripts for germline expression. However, impairing CSR-1 has very little effect on the accumulation of its mRNA targets. Instead, we found that CSR-1 functions with P granules to prevent MSP and sperm-specific mRNAs from being transcribed in the hermaphrodite germline. These findings suggest that P granules protect germline integrity through two different mechanisms, by 1) preventing the inappropriate expression of somatic proteins at the level of translational regulation, and by 2) functioning with CSR-1 to limit the domain of sperm-specific expression at the level of transcription. Four biological replicates of each condition (empty vector control, P granule RNAi, and CSR-1 RNAi germlines) were collected for total RNA.

Project description:In C. elegans nematodes, components of liquid-like germ granules were shown to be required for transgenerational small RNA inheritance. Surprisingly, we show here that mutants with defective germ granules can nevertheless inherit potent small RNA-based silencing responses, but some of the mutants lose this ability after many generations of homozygosity. Animals mutated in pptr-1, which is required for stabilization of P granules in the early embryo, display extraordinarily strong heritable RNAi responses, lasting for tens of generations. Intriguingly, the RNAi capacity of descendants derived from mutants defective in the core germ granules proteins MEG-3 and MEG-4 is determined by the genotype of the ancestors, and changes transgenerationally. Further, whether the meg-3/4 mutant alleles were present in the paternal or maternal lineages lead to different transgenerational consequences. Small RNA inheritance, rather than maternal contribution of the germ granules themselves, mediates the transgenerational defects in RNAi of meg-3/4 mutants and their progeny. Accordingly, germ granule defects lead to heritable genome-wide mis-expression of endogenous small RNAs. Upon disruption of germ granules, hrde-1 mutants can inherit RNAi although HRDE-1 was previously thought to be absolutely required for RNAi inheritance. We propose that germ granules sort and shape the RNA pool, and that small RNA inheritance maintains this activity for multiple generations.

Project description:T bruce were heat shocked for 1 h at 41C then granules were prepared as per Fritz et al. 2015. After spinning down cytoskeletons with trapped contents and lysing them we sequenced the supernatant (trapped RNA) and pellet (granule) fractions. Input total RNA is included for comparison.
