Project description:Cyclin E is a regulatory subunit of CDK2 that mediates S phase entry and progression. Cleavage of full-length cyclin E (FL-cycE) to low molecular weight isoforms (LMW-E) dramatically alters the substrate specificity, promoting G1/S cell cycle transition and accelerating mitotic exit. Approximately 70% of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) express LMW-E, which correlates with poor prognosis. PKMYT1 also plays an important role in mitosis by inhibiting CDK1 to block premature mitotic entry, suggesting it could be a therapeutic target in TNBC expressing LMW-E. Here, analysis of TNBC patient tumor samples revealed that co-expression of LMW-E and PKMYT1-catalyzed CDK1 phosphorylation predicted poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Compared to FL-cycE, LMW-E specifically upregulated PKMYT1 expression and protein stability, elevating CDK1 phosphorylation. Inhibiting PKMYT1 with the selective inhibitor RP-6306 (lunresertib) elicited LMW-E dependent antitumor effects, accelerating premature mitotic entry, inhibiting replication fork restart, and enhancing DNA damage, chromosomal breaks, apoptosis, and replication stress. Importantly, TNBC cell line xenografts expressing LMW-E showed greater sensitivity to RP-6306 than tumors with empty vector or FL-cycE. Furthermore, RP-6306 exerted tumor suppressive effects in LMW-E transgenic murine mammary tumors and LMW-E-high TNBC patient-derived xenografts but not in the LMW-E null models examined in parallel. Lastly, transcriptomic and immune profiling demonstrated that RP-6306 treatment induced interferon responses and T-cell infiltration in the LMW-E-high tumor microenvironment, enhancing the antitumor immune response. These findings highlight the LMW-E/PKMYT1/CDK1 regulatory axis as a promising therapeutic target in TNBC, providing the rationale for further clinical development of PKMYT1 inhibitors in this aggressive breast cancer subtype.

Project description:Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent malignancy of the endocrine system. We and others have shown that several microRNAs, which are ~21-24nt post-transcriptional gene regulators, are aberrantly expressed in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) tissues and cell lines. In the cell, miRNAs are bound to Argonaute (AGO) proteins as low molecular weight RNA Induced Silencing Complexes (LMW-RISCs) that can then assemble into high molecular weight RISCs (HMW-RISCs) that also include additional proteins and mRNA. In this study, we sought to analyze the association of miRNAs across RISC complexity in ATC and PTC. For both ATC and PTC lines, miRNAs were enriched in HMW-RISC and LMW-RISC fractions compared with intermediate fractions or very low molecular weight (AGO-poor) fractions. Furthermore, 60% of all miRNAs were more abundant in LMW-RISC versus HMW- RISC fractions by ~2-4 fold. Surprisingly, miR-21-5p, one of the most abundant miRNAs in both ATC and PTC lines, was consistently one the least abundant miRNAs in HMW-RISC and the most enriched miRNA in LMW-RISC fractions. These findings suggest that miR-21 may be uniquely distributed in RISCs relative to other miRNAs. Furthermore, the methodology described here is a useful way to assess the relative magnitude of miR-21association with HMW and LMW-RISCs and may help to reveal the true roles of this miRNA in thyroid cancer development, progression, and treatment.

Project description:Low molecular weight (LMW) proteins were purified from English walnuts (J. regia cv. Chandler). The LMW proteins were separated by anion exchange chromatography. The anion exchange fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and protein bands were excised. In gel trypsin digestion was conducted (following reduction with DTT and alkylation with iodoacetamide). Peptides were separated by RP-HPLC and analyzed with an LTQ Orbitrap XL. Peptide and protein identifications were obtained with Mascot.

Project description:Hyaluronan (HA) is the major glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular matrix involved in the pathogenesis of asthma and other chronic inflammatory diseases. During inflammation there is an increased breakdown of HA, resulting in the local and systemic accumulation of low molecular weight (LMW) HA. Eicosanoids, derived from cytosolic phospholipase A2 group IVA activation, are potent lipid mediators also attributed to acute and chronic inflammation. We investigated the effect of LMW HA on lipidomic profile and global gene expression in PBMCs of patients with mild-to-moderate and severe asthma. We found that LMW HA increased production of 68 unique lipid species, among which PGE2, PGA2, PGD2, PGF2a, 15-HETE, TxB2, 11,12-EET, 14,15 EET, 13-HOTrE(y) and 16 (17) EpDPE were significantly upregulated in severe asthmatics. We also performed a systematic genome-wide expression analysis of LMW HA signaling, confirming its highly immunostimulatory potential. However, in severe asthmatics the LMW HA-induced global gene expression profile showed a comprehensive impairment in interferon signaling, cell apoptosis and cell movement, leading to diminished antiviral responses. Likewise, LMW HA-induced production of IL12 p40, CXCL10, CXCL11 and CCL8was markedly reduced in severe asthmatics. Our findings suggest a previously unforeseen link between extracellular matrix, global lipid production and antiviral responses in the pathogenesis of severe asthma. We used microarray to perform a systematic genome-wide expression analysis of LMW HA effect in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in control subjects, mild-to moderate asthma and severe asthma patients

Project description:When organisms encounter an unfavorable environment, they transition to a physiologically distinct, quiescent state wherein abundant transcripts from the previous active growth state continue to persist, albeit their active transcription is downregulated. In order to generate proteins for the new quiescent physiological state, we hypothesized that the translation machinery must selectively translate upregulated transcripts in an intracellular milieu crowded with considerably higher abundance transcripts from the previous active growth state. Here, we have analyzed genome-wide changes in the transcriptome (RNA sequencing [RNA-seq]), changes in translational regulation and efficiency by ribosome profiling across all transcripts (ribosome profiling [Ribo-seq]), and protein level changes in assembled ribosomal proteins (sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra [SWATH-MS]) to investigate the interplay of transcriptional and translational regulation in Halobacterium salinarum as it transitions from active growth to quiescence. We have discovered that interplay of regulatory processes at different levels of information processing generates condition-specific ribosomal complexes to translate preferentially pools of low abundance and upregulated transcripts. Through analysis of the gene regulatory network architecture of H. salinarum, Escherichia coli, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we demonstrate that this conditional, modular organization of regulatory programs governing translational systems is a generalized feature across all domains of life.IMPORTANCE Our findings demonstrate conclusively that low abundance and upregulated transcripts are preferentially translated, potentially by environment-specific translation systems with distinct ribosomal protein composition. We show that a complex interplay of transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation underlies the conditional and modular regulatory programs that generate ribosomes of distinct protein composition. The modular regulation of ribosomal proteins with other transcription, translation, and metabolic genes is generalizable to bacterial and eukaryotic microbes. These findings are relevant to how microorganisms adapt to unfavorable environments when they transition from active growth to quiescence by generating proteins from upregulated transcripts that are in considerably lower abundance relative to transcripts associated with the previous physiological state. Selective translation of transcripts by distinct ribosomes could form the basis for adaptive evolution to new environments through a modular regulation of the translational systems.

Project description:Halophilic microorganisms have long been known to survive within the brine inclusions of salt crystals, as evidenced by the change in color for salt crystals containing pigmented halophiles. However, the molecular mechanisms allowing this survival has remained an open question for decades. While protocols for the surface sterilization of halite (NaCl) have enabled isolation of cells and DNA from within halite brine inclusions, "-omics" based approaches have faced two main technical challenges: (1) removal of all contaminating organic biomolecules (including proteins) from halite surfaces, and (2) performing selective biomolecule extractions directly from cells contained within halite brine inclusions with sufficient speed to avoid modifications in gene expression during extraction. In this study, we tested different methods to resolve these two technical challenges. Following this method development, we then applied the optimized methods to perform the first examination of the early acclimation of a model haloarchaeon (Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1) to halite brine inclusions. Examinations of the proteome of Halobacterium cells two months post-evaporation revealed a high degree of similarity with stationary phase liquid cultures, but with a sharp down-regulation of ribosomal proteins. While proteins for central metabolism were part of the shared proteome between liquid cultures and halite brine inclusions, proteins involved in cell mobility (archaellum, gas vesicles) were either absent or less abundant in halite samples. Proteins unique to cells within brine inclusions included transporters, suggesting modified interactions between cells and the surrounding brine inclusion microenvironment. The methods and hypotheses presented here enable future studies of the survival of halophiles in both culture model and natural halite systems.

Project description:ABSTRACT Since 2012, Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) launched the journey of missing proteins (MPs) investigation for completing human proteome project (HPP). We found the majority of MPs were distributed in low molecular weight (LMW) ranges, especially in 0-40 kDa. The identification of LMW proteins is challenging owing to their low length, low abundancy, and hydrophobicity. Even worse, many sequences from Trypsin digestion are unlikely to yield detectable peptides or composed less number of observable peptides in MS detection. Therefore, we focused on small MPs by combining LMW protein enrichment and mirror-protease strategy on human testis samples. The in-depth testis LMW protein profiling documented 4,063 proteins from which 2,565 proteins were belong to LMW proteins and 1,130 proteins had mirror peptides. This provided mass spectral evidence for small MPs further verification, and two MPs were verified in seven identified MPs. For Q8N688, confident peptides were verified from Trypsin and LysargiNase digestions, and continuous b/y-ion peptide was obtained by mirror-spectrum matching. Two verified peptides of Q86WR6 were from gel-separation and gel-elution dataset, respectively. And the other 5 MPs cannot be distinguished sufficiently as PE1, but need more verification information.

Project description:Genomic analysis points to N-glycosylation as being a common posttranslational modification in Archaea. To date, however, pathways of archaeal N-glycosylation have only been described for few species. With this in mind, the similarities of N-linked glycans decorating glycoproteins in the haloarchaea Haloferax volcanii and Halobacterium salinarum directed a series of bioinformatics, genetic, and biochemical experiments designed to describe that Hbt. salinarum pathway responsible for biogenesis of one of the two N-linked oligosaccharides described in this species. As in Hfx. volcanii, where agl (archaeal glycosylation) genes that encode proteins responsible for the assembly and attachment of a pentasaccharide to target protein Asn residues are clustered in the genome, Hbt. salinarum also contains a group of clustered homologous genes (VNG1048G-VNG1068G). Introduction of these Hbt. salinarum genes into Hfx. volcanii mutant strains deleted of the homologous sequence restored the lost activity. Moreover, transcription of the Hbt. salinarum genes in the native host, as well as in vitro biochemical confirmation of the predicted functions of several of the products of these genes provided further support for assignments made following bioinformatics and genetic experiments. Based on the results obtained in this study, the first description of an N-glycosylation pathway in Hbt. salinarum is offered.

Project description:The archaeon Halobacterium salinarum can produce energy using three different processes, namely photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation and fermentation of arginine, and is thus a model organism in bioenergetics. Compared to its bacteriorhodopsin-driven photosynthesis, less attention has been devoted to modeling its respiratory pathway. We created a system of ordinary differential equations that models its oxidative phosphorylation. The model consists of the electron transport chain, the ATP synthase, the potassium uniport and the sodium-proton antiport. By fitting the model parameters to experimental data, we show that the model can explain data on proton motive force generation, ATP production, and the charge balancing of ions between the sodium-proton antiporter and the potassium uniport. We performed sensitivity analysis of the model parameters to determine how the model will respond to perturbations in parameter values. The model and the parameters we derived provide a resource that can be used for analytical studies of the bioenergetics of H. salinarum.
