Proteome and ubiquitinome changes in Huntington’s disease

ABSTRACT: Huntington’s disease is caused by a polyglutamine repeat expansion at the N-terminus of the huntingtin protein which affects the function and folding of the protein, and results in intracellular protein aggregates. Here, we examined whether this mutation leads to altered ubiquitination of huntingtin and other proteins in both soluble and insoluble fractions of brain lysates of the Q175 knock-in Huntington disease mouse model and the Q20 wild-type mouse model. Ubiquitination sites are detected by identification of Gly-Gly (diGly) remnant motifs that remain on modified lysine residues after digestion. We identified K6, K9, K132, K804 and K837 as endogenous ubiquitination sites of soluble huntingtin, with wild-type huntingtin being mainly ubiquitinated at K132, K804 and K837. Mutant huntingtin protein levels were strongly reduced in the soluble fraction while K6 and K9 were mainly ubiquitinated. In the insoluble fraction increased levels of huntingtin K6 and K9 diGly sites were observed for mutant huntingtin as compared to wild type. Besides huntingtin, proteins with various roles, including membrane organization, transport, mRNA processing, gene transcription, translation, catabolic processes and oxidative phosphorylation, were differently expressed or ubiquitinated in wild-type and mutant huntingtin brain tissues. Correlating protein and diGly site fold-changes in the soluble fraction revealed that diGly site abundances of the majority of the proteins were not related to protein fold-changes, indicating that these proteins were differentially ubiquitinated in the Q175 mice. In contrast, both the fold-change of the protein level and diGly site level were increased for several proteins in the insoluble fraction, including ubiquitin, ubiquilin-2, sequestosome-1/p62 and myo5a. Our data sheds light on putative novel proteins involved in different cellular processes as well as their ubiquitination status in Huntington’s disease, which forms the basis for further mechanistic studies to understand the role of differential ubiquitination of huntingtin as well as ubiquitin-regulated processes in Huntington’s disease.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, short-lived, regulatory and misfolded or denatured proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS), a highly regulated mechanism including the active marking of proteins for proteasomal degradation by ubiquitin. The UPS is critical in regulating proteostasis and dysfunctioning of this system has been implicated in diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. We have investigated the effects of proteasome malfunctioning in Drosophila by monitoring the global proteome and ubiquitinome using SILAC proteomics. The proteasome was inactivated by either chemical inhibitors or by dsRNA mediated knockdown of specific proteasome subunit constituents. Upon proteasome perturbation both the global proteome and the ubiquitinome were remodeled to a great extent, albeit that the overall impact on the ubiquitinome was much more dramatic. The abundances of ~10% of all observable proteins were increased as a result of both de novo synthesis and of accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins. In the ubiquitinome analysis ~14,000 diGly peptides were identified and most of these could also be quantified. The far majority of diGly peptides showed increased levels, indicating that the pool of ubiquitinated proteins is highly dynamic. Interestingly, because of the high level of detail the ubiquitination dynamics of individual proteins could be explored. Several examples (e.g., Rps3 and H2B) will be discussed, in which different target lysine residues show either increased or decreased ubiquitination on the same protein, suggesting the occurrence of simultaneous and possibly functionally different ubiquitination events. In conclusion, the combination of quantitative proteomic methods with dsRNA mediated knockdown of individual subunits of the 26S proteasome offers a powerful tool to study the dynamics of the (modified) proteome upon perturbation of the UPS. This strategy opens up new avenues for the dissection of the mode of action of this cellular machinery, both under proteostasis and proteotoxic conditions.
