Trnp1 is a novel regulator of several nuclear membrane-less compartments

ABSTRACT: TMF1-regulated nuclear protein 1 (Trnp1) has been shown to exert potent roles in neural development affecting neural stem cell self-renewal and brain folding, but its molecular function in the nucleus is still unknown. Here we show that Trnp1 is a low complexity protein with the capacity to phase separate. Trnp1 interacts with factors located in several nuclear membrane-less organelles, the nucleolus, nuclear speckles and condensed chromatin. Importantly, Trnp1 co-regulates the architecture and function of these nuclear compartments in vitro and in the developing brain in vivo. Deletion of a highly conserved region in the N-terminal intrinsic disordered region abolishes the capacity of Trnp1 to regulate nucleolar size and dynamics, proliferation and M-phase length, decreases the capacity to phase separate and abrogates most of Trnp1 protein interactions. Thus, we identified Trnp1 as a novel regulator of several nuclear membrane-less compartments, a function important to maintain cells in a self-renewing proliferative state.

Project description:Development and homeostasis of blood vessels critically depend on the regulation of endothelial cell-cell junctions. Perturbations in cell-cell junction organization and function results in developmental defects and vascular pathologies including chronic inflammation, edema and atherosclerosis. Although many aspects of blood vessel formation and homeostasis depend on cell-cell junctions, the molecular mechanisms that regulate their dynamic rearrangement are not fully understood. The VEcad-catenin complex, which constitute the molecular basis of the adherens junctions (AJ), is connected to the actin cytoskeleton and its function is regulated by cytoskeletal contraction and actin-driven plasma membrane protrusions. Junction-associated intermitted lamellipodia (JAIL) are small actin-driven protrusions at cell-cell junctions controlled by the actin related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3)-complex that contribute to the regulation of cell-cell junctions. JAIL drive VEcad dynamics within the cell-cell junction thereby being critical for monolayer integrity, cell migration and angiogenesis. The molecular mechanisms regulating JAIL during vessel development are not completely understood. Coronin 1B (Coro1B) is an actin binding protein that controls actin networks at classical lamellipodia via both Arp2/3 complex and cofilin-mediated pathways. The role of Coro1B in endothelial cell (ECs) is not fully understood. In this study we demonstrate that Coro1B is a novel component and regulator of cell-cell junctions in ECs. Immunofluorescence studies show that Coro1B colocalizes with VEcad at cell-cell junctions in monolayers of ECs. Live-cell imaging reveal that Coro1B is recruited to, and operated at, actin-driven membrane protrusions at the cell-cell junctions. Coro1B recruitment to cell-cell junctions is regulated by cytoskeleton tension. By analyzing the Coro1B interactome, we identify integrin linked kinase (ILK) as new Coro1B-associated protein. Coro1B colocalizes with α-parvin, an interactor of ILK, at the leading edge of lamellipodia protrusions. Finally, functional experiments reveal that depletion of Coro1B causes defects in actin cytoskeleton and cell-cell junctions. In matrigel vessel network assays, depletion of Coro1B results in reduced network complexity, vessel number and vessel length. Together, our findings point towards a critical role for Coro1B in the dynamic remodeling of endothelial cell-cell junction and the assembly of vessel network.
