Project description:Rho GTPases integrate control of cell structure and adhesion with downstream signaling events. In keratinocytes, RhoA is activated at early times of differentiation and plays an essential function in establishment of cellcell adhesion. We report here that, surprisingly, Rho signaling suppresses downstream gene expression events associated with differentiation. Similar inhibitory effects are exerted by a specific Rho effector, CRIK (Citron kinase), which is selectively down-modulated with differentiation, thereby allowing the normal process to occur. The suppressing function of Rho/CRIK on differentiation is associated with induction of KyoT1/2, a LIM domain protein gene implicated in integrin-mediated processes and/or Notch signaling. Like activated Rho and CRIK, elevated KyoT1/2 expression suppresses differentiation. Thus, Rho signaling exerts an unexpectedly complex role in keratinocyte differentiation, which is coupled with induction of KyoT1/2, a LIM domain protein gene with a potentially important role in control of cell self renewal. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA from primary mouse keratinocytes infected with adeno-GFP, adeno-RhoV14, or adeno-CRIK-SK for 48 h was used for biotin-labeled cRNA probe preparation and hybridization to Affymetrix U74A gene chips. cRNA probes from each condition were tested in duplicate.

Project description:To investigate the DNA binding specificity of the CLAMP protein, we have designed a custom PBM to interrogate the binding of CLAMP to DNA sequences extracted from the Drosophila melanogaster genome. Specific regions were extracted based on ChIP-seq data, motif occurence and proximity to gene transcription start sites. N-terminal GST-tagged protein samples were made for the C-terminal four and six zinc finger portions of the protein CLAMP; samples were made by in vitro transcription translation (IVT). IVT reaction mixtures for the two CLAMP constructs were applied directly to the PBM microarray and incubated for 1hour. Microarray-bound protein was fluorescently labeled using Alexa488-conjugated antibodies targeting GST, and the microarray was scanned in using a standard microarray scanner. Median fluorescence intensity over eight replicate probes was reported for each unique DNA sequence on the microarray.

Project description:The ~160 small GTPases that comprise the Ras superfamily include many major regulators of growth, membrane traffic and the cytoskeleton, and a wide range of diseases are caused by mutations in particular members. They function as switchable landmarks with the active GTP-bound form recruiting to the membrane a specific set of effector proteins. The location and level of the GTP-bound form is precisely controlled by upstream regulators that promote acquisition of GTP (GEFs) or its hydrolysis to GDP (GAPs). We report here MitoID, a method for identifying effectors and regulators by performing in vivo proximity biotinylation with mitochondrial-localized forms of the GTPases. Applying this to 11 human Rab GTPases identified many known effectors and GAPs, as well as putative novel interactors, with examples of the latter validated for Rab2, Rab5 and Rab9. We also show that MitoID can efficiently identify effectors and GAPs of members of other GTPase families such as Cdc42, RhoA, Rac1, Rheb, RalB and N-Ras, and can also identify GEFs by use of GDP-bound forms.

Project description:Rho family small GTPases serve as molecular switches in the regulation of diverse cellular functions including actin cytoskeleton remodeling, cell migration, gene transcription, and cell proliferation. Importantly, Rho overexpression is frequently seen in many carcinomas. However, published studies have almost invariably utilized immortal or tumorigenic cell lines to study Rho GTPase functions and there are no studies on the potential of Rho small GTPase to overcome senescence checkpoints and induce preneoplastic transformation of human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs). We found that ectopic expression of wild-type RhoA as well as a constitutively-active RhoA mutant (G14V) in primary hMEC strains led to their immortalization and preneoplastic transformation. Significantly, RhoA-T37A mutant, known to be incapable of interacting with many well known Rho-effectors ,was also capable of immortalizing hMECs.Our results demonstrate that RhoA can induce the preneoplastic transformation of hMECs by altering multiple pathways linked cellular transformation and breast cancer. Through microarray analysis, we want to identify genes and pathways linked to RhoA induced hMECs immortalization. Experiment Overall Design: 4 samples, in triplicate analyses per sample.

Project description:The aim of this project was to determine which viral and host proteins bind to purified recombinant human GTPase Rab11a from lysates of HEK-293T cells infected with influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus. To this aim we used a GST pull-down assay. Approximately 8∙106 HEK-293T cells were infected with influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus at a multiplicity of infection of 5 (MOI=5) or mock infected. Twelve hours (h) post-infection cells were harvested by centrifugation at 1,000 rpm for 5 min and lysed for 1 h in lysis buffer [50 mM HEPES-NaOH pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 0.5 % (v/v) IGEPAL CA-630 (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1x PMSF, 1x protease inhibitor (Roche, complete mini, EDTA-free)] at 4 °C. Supernatants were collected by centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C. Approximately 0.2 mg of purified GST-tagged Rab11CA (constitutively active Rab11a with a Q70L substitution) or GST tag was bound to pre-equilibrated Glutathione Sepharose 4B beads (GE Healthcare) (100 µl slurry per 1 ml sample volume) at 4 °C for 3 h in binding buffer [50 mM HEPES-NaOH pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl, 10 % (v/v) glycerol, 8 mM MgCl2, 10 µM GTP-γ-S (Abcam)]. GST-Rab11CA or GST tag bound beads were incubated with virus infected or mock infected cell lysates for 1 h at 4 °C followed by five washes in binding buffer. Rab11CA and bound proteins were released in the same buffer supplemented with 1 mM DTT and 0.1 mg human rhinovirus (HRV) 3C protease to cleave off Rab11CA from the GST tag. After 1 h incubation at 4 °C released proteins were cleared from the beads by centrifugation at 1,000 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C. GST pull-down protein fractions were used for analysis by mass spectrometry.

Project description:Rationale: Endothelial cells (ECs) line the inner surface of continuous capillaries and form a permselective barrier between blood and tissues to limit paracellular fluid and solute flux. The capillary barrier is maintained by intercellular tight junctions (TJs) which are regulated, in part, by differential activity of small GTPases. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) causes TJ disassembly in a process dependent upon NF-κB-mediated gene expression. Activated (GTP-bound) RhoB has been identified as a downstream effector of TNF-induced leak both through Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase-mediated phosphorylation of RelA, enhancing TNF-induced NF-κB-mediated gene activation, and through sequestration of Rac1 away from the cell junction, preventing barrier restoration. To date, no TNF-induced, RhoB-selective GTP exchange factor (GEF) has been identified in ECs. Objective: Identify a TNF-induced RhoB specific GEF in capillary ECs. Method and Results: human dermal microvascular ECs (HDMECs) were used because they form TJs. Candidate GEFs were identified by whole transcriptome profiling of HDMECs with or without TNF stimulation. Fifty-seven of 73 known GEFs were expressed in HDMECs and 17 were significantly upregulated by TNF. Functional impact of each of the latter group was assessed by measuring the effects of depletion by short interfering RNA knockdown on TNF-induced reduction of trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TEER) of HDMEC monolayers. Depletions of ArhGEF10 or RhoB or double depletion of ArhGEF10/RhoB similarly decreased TNF-mediated reduction of TEER. ArhGEF10 knockdown prevented TNF-induced disruption of TJ proteins assessed by confocal microscopy. TNF-induced increases in the levels of activated RhoB in HDMEC lysates were markedly reduced with only minimal alterations in RhoA or RhoC activation. Finally, immunoisolated ArhGEF10 selectively catalyzed GTP exchange for GDP in RhoB, but not RhoA or RhoC, in vitro. Conclusion: ArhGEF10 is a TNF-induced RhoB-selective GEF for RhoB in cultured human capillary ECs that contributes to TJ disruption.

Project description:Interaction between the host and invading pathogen determines the fate of both organisms during the infectious state. The host is equipped with a battery of immune reactions, while the pathogen displays a variety of mechanisms to compromise host immunity. Although bacteria alter their pattern of gene expression when they enter host organisms, studies to elucidate the mechanism behind this are only in their infancy. In the present study, we examined the possibility that host immune proteins directly participate in the change of gene expression in bacteria. To this end, Escherichia coli was treated with a mixture of the extracellular region of membrane-bound peptidoglycan recognition protein LC (PGRP-LC) and the antimicrobial peptide attacin of Drosophila, and subsequently subjected to DNA microarray analysis for the repertoire of mRNA. We identified nearly 200 genes whose mRNA increased after the treatment, and at least four of them were induced in response to PGRP-LC. One such gene, lipoprotein-encoding nlpI, showed a transient increase of its mRNA level in adult flies depending on PGRP-LC, and NlpI-lacking E. coli had a smaller pathogenic effect with lowered growth/viability than the parental strain in adult flies. These results suggest that a host immune receptor triggers a change of gene expression in bacteria simultaneously to their recognition of the invader and induction of immune responses. The E. coli strain BW25113 (2 x 10^9) suspended with insect saline (0.13 M NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 1.9 mM CaCl2), was incubated with a mixture of GST-attacin (0.125 μM), GST-PGRP-LCa (0.5 μM), GST-PGRP-LCx (1 μM), and GST-PGRP-LCy (0.5 μM) for 10 min at room temperature. As a negative control, incubation of E. coli was done in the presence of GST alone (3 μM).

Project description:Fibronectin (FN)-binding integrins control a variety of cellular responses through Rho GTPases. The FN-binding integrins, αvβ3 and α5β1, are known to induce different effects on cell morphology and motility. Here we report that FN-bound αvβ3 integrin, but not FN-bound α5β1 integrin, triggers the dissociation of the RhoA GEF Lfc (GEF-H1 in humans) from microtubules (MT), leading to the activation of RhoA, formation of stress fibres and maturation of focal adhesions (FAs). Conversely, loss of Lfc expression decreases RhoA activity, stress fibre formation and FA size, suggesting that Lfc is the major GEF downstream of FN-bound αvβ3 that controls RhoA activity. Mechanistically, FN-engaged αvβ3 integrin activates a kinase cascade involving MARK2/3, which in turn leads to phosphorylation of several phospho-sites on Lfc. In particular, S151 was identified as the main site involved in the regulation of Lfc localization and activity. Our findings indicate that activation of Lfc/RhoA is orchestrated in FN-adherent cells in an integrin-specific manner
