Project description:In both free-living and pathogenic bacteria, problems in the synthesis and assembly of early flagellar components invariably lead to cell division defects. However, the mechanism that fine-tunes the cell division cycle with the flagellar biogenesis is poorly understood. Herein, we report the role of the conserved regulator MadA in coupling flagellar biogenesis to cell division in Caulobacter crescentus. We demonstrate that MadA is required to induce the flagellar specific type III export component FlhA to release and activate FliX, which in-turn is required to license the conserved σ54-activator, FlbD. In the absence of MadA, FliX is tethered to FlhA, inhibiting FlbD activation and crippling completion of flagellar biogenesis and cell division. Furthermore, we demonstrate that MadA exploits a divisome-stoichiometric to control cell division. We propose that MadA has a sentinel-type function that warrants progression of the flagellar biogenesis, and the cell division cycle, once early flagellar structures are properly assembled.

Project description:We report that inactivation of the fission yeast Cdk7 kinase affects gene expression through both its RNA Polymerase II CTD kinase activity and its Cdc2-activating kinase activity. The ribosome biogenesis cluster is specifically downregulated when Cdc2 T167 phosphorylation is abolished, which results is slow growth. We propose that Cdc2 activation by CAK defines the rate change point observed in mid G2 and that CAK therefore couples cell growth to cell division. Total RNA was isolated from two biological replicates for all conditions, and each biological replicate was hybridized in duplicate on Agilent arrays (dye-swap).

Project description:In gain of function studies, phloem intercalated with xylem (PXY) signalling has previously been shown to promote vascular cell division. However, no reduction in vascular cell division has been reported in pxy mutants. This suggests that a compensatory mechanism promotes vascular cell division in the absence of PXY. To uncover this mechanism, the transcriptome of pxy mutants was compared to wild type counterparts.

Project description:The basis for commitment to cell division in late G1 phase, called Start in yeast and the Restriction Point in metazoans, is a critical but still poorly understood aspect of eukaryotic cell proliferation. All eukaryotic cells must grow to a critical cell size before commitment to division occurs. This size threshold couples cell growth to division and thereby establishes long-term size homeostasis. Here, to address the problem of cell size control across different species, we performed the first quantitative survey of the size phenome in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans by focusing on mutants of transcriptional regulators and kinases. We investigate one of the divergent size regulatory pathways in C. albicans, the p38/HOG MAPK module, to uncover a novel stress-independent function for the HOG module in size control. We show that Hog1 inhibits G1/S transcription to delay the G1/S transition and that Hog1 also controls ribosome biogenesis gene expression. These results suggest that Hog1 represents a critical and previously unsuspected nexus between the growth and division machineries. Our study thus delineates the overall genetic basis for size control in C. albicans and identifies, to our knowledge, the first specific conduit that couples cell growth to cell division.

Project description:The sorting of RNA transcripts dictates their ultimate post-transcriptional fates, such as translation, decay or degradation by RNA interference (RNAi). This sorting of RNAs into distinct fates is mediated by their interaction with RNA-binding proteins. While hundreds of RNA binding proteins have been identified, which act to sort RNAs into different pathways is largely unknown. Particularly in plants, this is due to the lack of reliable protein-RNA artificial tethering tools necessary to determine the mechanism of protein action on an RNA in vivo. Here we generated a protein-RNA tethering system which functions on an endogenous Arabidopsis RNA that is easily tracked by the quantitative flowering time phenotype. Unlike other protein-RNA tethering systems that have been attempted in plants, our system circumvents the inadvertent triggering of RNAi. We successfully in vivo tethered a protein epitope, deadenylase protein and translation factor to the RNA, which function to tag, decay and boost protein production, respectively. We demonstrated that our tethering system 1) is sufficient to engineer the downstream fate of an RNA, 2) enables the determination of any protein’s function upon recruitment to an RNA, and 3) can be used to discover new interactions with RNA-binding proteins.

Project description:Higher order genome structure influences the transcriptional regulation of cellular genes through the juxtaposition of regulatory elements, such as enhancers, close to promoters of target genes. While enhancer activation has emerged as an important facet of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) biology, mechanisms controlling enhancer-target gene expression remain obscure. Here, we discover that the KSHV genome tethering protein latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) potentiates enhancer-target gene expression in primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), a highly aggressive B cell lymphoma causally associated with KSHV. Genome-wide analyses demonstrate increased levels of enhancer RNA transcription as well as activating chromatin marks at LANA bound enhancers. 3D-genome conformation analyses identified genes critical for latency and tumorigenesis as targets of LANA occupied enhancers, and LANA depletion results in their downregulation. These findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism in enhancer-gene coordination and describe a role through which the main KSHV tethering protein regulates essential gene expression in PEL.

Project description:The compartmentalisation of distinct organelles within eukaryotic cells is essential for their diverse functions, however, how their structures and functions depend on each other has not been systematically explored. We combined a fluorescent reporter of mitochondrial stress with genome-wide CRISPR knockout screening and identified networks of genes involved in the biogenesis and metabolism of diverse organelles. Targeted organelle gene knockouts identified that defects in peroxisomes, Golgi, and ER cause mitochondrial fragmentation and dysfunction. Correlative light and electron microscopy analysed using artificial intelligence-directed voxel extraction revealed in unprecedented detail how impaired mitochondrial interactions with diverse organelles caused cell-wide defects in their morphology and biogenesis. Multi-omics analyses identified a unified proteome stress response and global shifts in lipid and glycoprotein homeostasis that are elicited when organelle biogenesis is compromised. Our comprehensive resource has defined metabolic and morphological interactions between organelles that can be mined to understand how changes in organelle components drive diverse cellular pathologies.

Project description:Eukaryotic cells contain several membrane-separated organelles to compartmentalize distinct metabolic reactions. However, it has remained unclear how these organelle systems are coordinated, when cells adapt metabolic pathways to support their development, survival or effector functions. Here we present OrgaPlexing, a multispectral organelle imaging approach for the comprehensive mapping of six key metabolic organelles and their interactions. We use this analysis on macrophages, immune cells that undergo rapid metabolic switches upon sensing bacterial and inflammatory stimuli. Our results identify lipid droplets (LDs) as primary inflammatory responder organelle, which forms three- and four-way interactions with other organelles. While clusters with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria (M-ER-LD unit) help supply fatty acids for LD growth, the additional recruitment of peroxisomes (M-ER-P-LD unit) supports fatty acid efflux from LDs. Interference with individual components of these units has direct functional consequences for inflammatory lipid synthesis. Together, we show that macrophages form functional multi-organellar units (MOUs) to support metabolic adaptation, and provide an experimental strategy to identify organelle-metabolic signaling hubs.
