Palmitoylation of BMPR1a regulates neural stem cell fate

ABSTRACT: Neural stem cells (NSCs) generate neurons and glial cells throughout embryonic and postnatal brain development. The role of s-acylation, a reversible post-translational lipid modification of proteins, in regulating fate and activity of NSCs remains largely unknown. We here used an unbiased screening approach to identify proteins that are s-acylated in mouse NSCs.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) generate neurons and glial cells throughout embryonic and postnatal brain development. The role of S-palmitoylation (also referred to as S-acylation), a reversible posttranslational lipid modification of proteins, in regulating the fate and activity of NSCs remains largely unknown. We used an unbiased screening approach to identify proteins that are S-acylated in mouse NSCs and showed that bone morphogenic protein receptor 1a (BMPR1a), a core mediator of BMP signaling, i ...[more]

Project description:Mutations in Ppt1, which is a depalmitoylation enzyme result in early onset neurodegeneration, therefore, we hypothesized that the protein content of brain membranes from mutant newborn mice will differ from those derived from wild-type. This unbiased analysis revealed that the majority of the differentially identified proteins are palmitoylated and their upstream pathway analysis point to neurodegenerative diseases. One of the differentially expressed proteins was Rab3IP, which is a direct downstream effector of Rab11 and affects the guanine nucleotide-exchange activity of Rab3IP toward Rab8. Rab3IP, Rab11 and Rab8 are known to be involved in ciliogenesis. Rab3IP distribution in cilia differed between the wild type and the mutant cells. Our analysis showed that these three proteins are palmitoylated. Site-directed mutagenesis of the palmitoylation sites of Rab11 affects its intracellular localization. Most importantly, in MEFs, neuroblasts, neurons and brain preparations, longer cilia were detected in Ppt1-/-. Collectively, our studies suggest that cilia abnormalities need to be considered as part of the pathophysiology of CLN1.

Collectively, our studies suggest that cilia abnormalities need to be considered as part of the pathophysiology of CLN1. Mutations in Ppt1 result in early onset neurodegeneration, therefore, we hypothesized that the levels of proteins extracted from purified brain membranes of newborn mice will differ. One of the main effects of palmitoylation is changing the hydrophobic index of proteins and thus affecting these proteins interactions with different membranal domains. Assuming that PPT1 substrates are over palmitoylated in Ppt1-/- brains it is possible that its localization to specific membranal domain is different than in the wild-type brains. We isolated Triton X-100 soluble membranes from three wild-type and three Ppt1-/- brains and identified the proteins by PalmPISC. Many of the identified proteins were found to be palmitoylated. A second feature, which was noted is that many of the differential proteins (62 out of 88, 70%) can be detected in the cilia proteome (http://v3.ciliaproteome.org/cgi-bin/index.php). This observation led to test whether ciliary proteins differ between wild-type and Ppt1-/-. Cilia were prepared from newborn dissociated brain cell cultures and analyzed by MS
