Project description:Memory B cells (MBCs) are key cellular components of long-term humoral immunity that dominate recall responses by rapidly differentiating into effector cells. As the biology of MBCs has been mainly studied in the context of model antigen immunizations, the dynamics of these cells during infection remains largely unexplored. Here, we combined influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infection models with fluorescent-reporter mice to identify MBCs regardless of antigen-specificity. scRNA-seq analysis and confocal imaging revealed that two main transcriptionally distinct subsets of MBCs colonize the lung airways after infection. These subsets were class-switched, somatically mutated and preferentially differentiated into plasma rather than germinal center cells upon activation. Combined analysis of antigen-specificity and B cell receptor repertoire unveiled a highly permissive selection process that segregated these subsets into “bona fide” virus-specific MBCs and “bystander” MBCs with no apparent specificity for eliciting viruses. Thus, diverse transcriptional programs in MBCs are not linked to specific effector fates but rather to divergent strategies of the immune system to simultaneously provide rapid protection from re-infection while diversifying the initial B cell repertoire.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus bona fide sRNAs in the model strain HG003
| PRJNA414251 | ENA
Project description:Accurate annotation of regulatory RNAs is a complex task but nevertheless essential as sRNA molecular and functional studies ensue from it. Several formerly considered small RNAs (sRNA) are now known to be parts of UTR transcripts. In light of experimental data, we review hundreds of Staphylococcus aureus putative regulatory RNAs. We pinpoint those that are likely acting in trans and are not expressed from the opposite strand of a coding gene. We conclude that HG003, a NCTC8325 derivative strain, has about 50 bona fide sRNAs, indicating that these RNAs are less numerous than commonly stated.

Project description:The post-translational modification of proteins by ubiquitination is a highly regulated process that involves a dynamic, three-step enzymatic cascade, where more than 600 E3 ligases play a critical role in recognizing specific substrates for modification. Separating bona fide targets of E3s from E3-interacting proteins remains a major challenge in the field. In this study, we present BioE3, a novel approach for identifying substrates of ubiquitin-like (UbL) E3 ligases of interest. Using BirA-E3 ligase fusion proteins and bioUbLs, the method facilitates site-specific biotinylation of UbL-modified substrates for proteomic identification. We demonstrate that the BioE3 system can identify both known and novel targets of two RING-type ubiquitin E3 ligases: RNF4, known to be involved in DNA damage response and the regulation of PML nuclear bodies, and MIB1, implicated in endocytosis, autophagy, and centrosomal protein homeostasis. We further show the versatility of BioE3 by identifying targets of an organelle-specific E3 (MARCH5) and a relatively uncharacterized E3 (RNF214). Furthermore, we show that BioE3 works with HECT-type E3 ligases and identify novel targets of NEDD4 involved in vesicular trafficking. BioE3 is a powerful tool that enables identification of bona fide substrates of UbL E3 ligases and how they change with chemical perturbations, which may be useful for the emerging applications in targeted protein degradation (TPD). BioE3 may also be applicable for UbLs beyond Ub and SUMO, as well as other E3 ligase classes. The resulting knowledge can shed light on the regulation of cellular processes by the complex UbL network, advancing our understanding of fundamental biological mechanisms.

Project description:Microglia provide a front-line defense against neuroinvasive viral infection, however, determination of their bona fide transcriptional profiles under conditions of health and disease is challenging. Here, we used a combination of experimental tools to delineate the overall transcriptional landscape of microglia during viral infection. By exploiting the ribosomal tagging approach, we developed the concept of enrichment of relevant marker genes by comparing immunoprecipitated RNA with total RNA. Enriched transcripts corresponding to genes expressed in target cells were instrumental in defining bona fide signatures of microglia. With this approach, we generated a comprehensive and accurate transcriptome of microglia at the in situ environment under conditions of health and virus infection. These unified microglial signatures may serve as a benchmark to retrospectively assess ex vivo artefacts from available atlases. Leveraging the microglial translatome, we found enrichment of genes implicated in T-cell activation and cytokine production during the course of VSV infection. These data linked microglia with T-cell re-stimulation and further underscored that microglia shape anti-viral T-cell responses in the brain. Collectively, this study faithfully defines the transcriptional landscape of microglia in steady state and during viral encephalitis and highlights cellular interactions between microglia and T cells that contribute to the control of virus dissemination.

Project description:Dynamic interactions between RNA and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate a broad spectrum of bacterial functions. Here, we have characterised how the RBPome is dynamically rewired during the E. coli life cycle. We applied Orthogonal Organic Phase Separation (OOPS) coupled with an RNase digestion step to shortlist bona fide bacterial RBPs and assessed whether proteins bound RNA differentially express at different cell proliferation stages.

Project description:Hyperinsulinemia, often associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, is also linked to an elevated risk of various cancers. However, the specific mechanisms underlying this connection remain unclear. Here, we report that inhibiting neddylation, in the presence of insulin treatment, further promotes cancer cell migration in different cancer types by activating both insulin receptor substrate 1 and 2, as well as the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. We also found that C-CBL neddylates IRS1 and IRS2 as an E3 ligase, with clinical evidence supporting its role as a tumor suppressor. Altogether, these findings suggest that the neddylation of IRS1 and IRS2 may be a bona fide suppressor of cancer cell migration. Thus, caution is advised when considering neddylation inhibitors as a treatment for cancer patients with obesity-related type 2 diabetes or hyperinsulinemic condition.

Project description:Cross-presentation by type 1 DCs (cDC1) is critical to induce and sustain antitumoral CD8 T cell responses to model antigens, in various tumor settings. However, the impact of cross-presenting cDC1 and the potential of DC-based therapies in tumors carrying varied levels of bona-fide neoantigens (neoAgs) remains unclear. We develop a hypermutated model of non-small cell lung cancer, encoding genuine MHC-I neoepitopes to study neoAgs-specific CD8 T cell responses in spontaneous settings and upon Flt3L+CD40 (DC-therapy). We find that cDC1 are required to generate broad CD8 responses against a range of diverse neoAgs. DC-therapy promotes immunogenicity of weaker neoAgs and strongly inhibits the growth of high tumor-mutational burden (TMB) tumors. In contrast, low TMB tumors respond poorly to DC-therapy, generating mild CD8 T cell responses that are not sufficient to block progression. scRNA transcriptional analysis, immune profiling and functional assays unveil the changes induced by DC-therapy in lung tissues, which comprise accumulation of cDC1 with increased immunostimulatory properties and decreased exhaustion in effector CD8 T cells. We conclude that boosting cDC1 activity is critical to broaden the diversity of anti-tumoral CD8 T cell responses and to leverage neoAgs content for therapeutic advantage.
