Trypanosoma brucei PH1-BioID proxisome

ABSTRACT: Kinesins are motor proteins found in all eukaryotic lineages that move along microtubule tracks to mediate several cellular processes such as mitosis and intracellular transport of cargo. In trypanosomatids, the kinesin protein superfamily has undergone a prominent expansion, giving these protists one of the most diverse kinesin repertoires in eukaryotes. This has led to the emergence of two trypanosomatid-restricted groups of kinesins. Here, we characterize in Trypanosoma brucei TbKifX2, a hitherto orphaned kinesin that belongs to one of these groups. TbKifX2 tightly interacts with TbPH1, a kinesin-like protein named after a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain present within its carboxy terminal tail. TbKifX2 recruits TbPH1 to the microtubule quartet (MtQ), a characteristic cytoskeletal structure that runs adjacent to the flagellar attachment zone filament from the basal body to the anterior of the cell. The proximal proteome of TbPH1 has revealed four proteins that localize to structures found adjacent to the length of the MtQ, further confirming that the likely TbKifX1/TbPH1 heterodimer binds the MtQ along its whole length. Simultaneous ablation of both TbKifX2 and TbPH1 leads to the formation of prominent extrusions from the cell posterior. Thus, we have attributed a morphogenesis role to these two trypanosomatid-restricted proteins, and the unique cytoskeletal structure represented by the MtQ. We hypothesize that the putative TbKiX2/TbPH1 heterodimer may transport a cytokinesis auxiliary factor(s) along the MtQ to or from the T. brucei posterior. The cohort of proteins found in proximity to TbPH1 may represent one of these factors directly or be involved in their trafficking during cell division in trypanosomatids.

Here, we characterize in Trypanosoma brucei TbKifX2A, an orphaned X2 kinesin. TbKifX2A tightly interacts with TbPH1, a kinesin-like protein with a likely inactive motor domain, a rarely reported occurrence. Both TbKifX2A and TbPH1 localize to the microtubule quartet (MtQ), a characteristic but poorly understood cytoskeletal structure that wraps around the flagellar pocket as it extends to the cell body anterior. The proximal proteome of TbPH1 revealed two other interacting proteins, the flagellar pocket protein FP45 and intriguingly another X2 kinesin, TbKifX2C. Simultaneous ablation of TbKifX2A/TbPH1 results in the depletion of FP45 and TbKifX2C and also an expansion of the flagellar pocket, among other morphological defects. TbKifX2A is the first motor protein to be localized to the MtQ. The observation that TbKifX2C also associates with the MtQ suggests that the X2 kinesin family may have co-evolved with the MtQ, both kinetoplastid-specific traits.cellular processes such as mitosis and intracellular transport.

Project description:Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase is located on the inner membrane of mitochondria which generate ATP for various cellular processes. Our previous studies showed that ATP synthases existed on plasma membrane of several types of cancer cells, which was defined as ectopic ATP synthase. However, the trafficking pathway of ectopic ATP synthase is still unclear. To investigate how ATP synthase subunits are involved in the trafficking process, we performed shot-gun proteomic analysis to reveal the plasma membrane proteins of A549 lung cancer cells and identified four subunits of ATP synthases, ATP5A1, ATP5B, ATP5H, and MT-ATP6. With the results of gene set enrichment analysis, we inferred that ectopic ATP synthase subunits are assembled as complex consistently and then translocated to cell surface through the trafficking of mitochondria. On the other hand, microtubules are involved in many intracellular transport. During protein trafficking, mitochondria and vesicles are transported to their final destination along microtubules by motor proteins such as kinesins and dyneins. To explore the function of microtubules in the trafficking of ectopic ATP synthase, we treated MCF-7 breast and A549 lung cancer cells with nocodazole, a microtubule depolymerization agent, and found that the expression level of ectopic ATP synthase decreased using both immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Besides, since kinesin family member 5B (KIF5B) is an important motor proteins involved in the transport of mitochondria, we further performed the immunoprecipitation of KIF5B followed by liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry (LC−MS/MS). The result revealed that one of the mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, dynamin-1 like proteins (Drp1), was able to associate to KIF5B. From our recent research results and other reports show that Drp1 is a mediator of mitochondrial dynamic through regulation of mitochondrial fission. Taken together, our findings suggested that Drp1-KIF5B complex-mediated mitochondrial trafficking along microtubules may play a critical role in the transport of ectopic ATP synthase
