N-terminal processing of beta and gamma actin in human platelets

ABSTRACT: Actin is one of the most essential and abundant intracellular proteins, playing an essential physiological role as the major constituent of the actin cytoskeleton. Two cytoplasmic actins, beta- and gamma-actin, are encoded by different genes, but their amino acid sequences differ only by four conservative substitutions at the N-terminus, making it very difficult to dissect their individual regulation in vivo. The majority of actins are N-terminally acetylated, following the removal of N-terminal Met. Here, we analyzed beta and gamma cytoplasmic actin N-termini in different actin preparations.

Cytoplasmic beta- and gamma-actin are ubiquitously expressed in every eukaryotic cell. They are encoded by different genes, but their amino acid sequences differ only by four conservative substitutions at the N-termini, making it difficult to dissect their individual regulation. Here, we analyzed actin from cultured cells and tissues by mass spectrometry and found that beta, unlike gamma actin, undergoes sequential removal of N-terminal Asp residues, leading to truncated actin species found in b ...[more]

Purification of Human β and γ Actin from Budding Yeast

Project description:To facilitate biochemical studies of human cytoplasmic actins, Saccharomyces cerevisiaestrains were developed that express either human β-actin or γ-actin as their sole actin. Actins purified from these strains have biochemical properties similar to mammalian skeletal muscle α-actin, but display differential binding to some key actin regulators. Mass-spectrometry analysis shows that the human actins made from yeast generally retain their N-terminal methionines, which are modified by acetylation.

Different roles of gamma- and beta-actin in neuronal functions

Project description:Lack of cytoplasmic beta-actin gene (Actb) leads to early embryonic lethality in mice, however targeted editing of Actb coding sequence by introducing five point mutations to encode cytoplasmic gamma-actin protein does not affect mouse viability. These mice with beta to gamma actin replacement (Actbc-g mice) develop normally and show no detectable phenotypes at young age, despite complete lack of beta-actin protein. Here we investigated the effect of the replacement of beta-actin with gamma-actin in the brain and the retina --- the tissue where these two cytoplasmic actin isoforms predominate.

Actb knockout in primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts LC-MS/MS

Project description:The cytoplasmic actin proteins, beta- and gamma-actin, are 99% identical but perform non-redundant functions. Genes encoding the cytoplasmic actins, Actb and Actg1, respectively, are less similar but still share 89% of their nucleotide sequences. Knockout (KO) of Actb by deletion of first coding exons 2 and 3 in mice is embryonic lethal while KO embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) fail to proliferate. In contrast, KO of Actg1 is viable but mice lacking Actg1 present with increased perinatal lethality and Actg1 KO MEFs present with a much milder defect in cell proliferation. Recent studies have identified important protein-independent functions for both Actb and Actg1 and demonstrate that deletions within the Actb nucleotide sequence, and not loss of the beta-actin protein, cause the most severe phenotypes in KO mice and cells. Here, we use a multi-omics approach to better understand what drives the phenotypes of Actb KO MEFs. RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry of Actb KO MEFs reveal largescale changes to the transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome. Pathway analysis of genes and proteins differentially expressed upon Actb KO shows widespread dysregulation of genes involved in the cell cycle. Together, these data suggest novel, protein-independent roles for Actb in regulating gene expression associated with control of cell proliferation.

Naa80 acetylates the actin N-terminus impacting the actin cytoskeleton and cell motility

Project description:Eukaryotic actins undergo several post-translational modifications during their maturation to enable a fully functional cytoskeletal network. A unique N-terminal processing is conserved in the animal kingdom and includes the removal of the first one or two amino acids as well as N-terminal acetylation of the newly exposed acidic N-termini. These events have been known for decades, but the mechanism and function of actin N-terminal acetylation are not well understood due to the lack of information on the catalysing N-terminal acetyltransferase (NAT). Here, we show that NAA80, previously known as NAT6 or FUS-2,is a unique, animal kingdom-specific NAT that exclusively N-terminally acetylates actins. In vitro, the lack of actin N-terminal acetylation impedes the actin polymerization rate due to decreased formin-mediated filament elongation, while the depolymerisation rate is unaffected. Human NAA80 knockout cells display a complete loss of actin N-terminal acetylation and a reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. We reveal Naa80 as the enzyme that specifically N-terminally acetylates actin the most abundant protein in animal cells, and that this modification controls cellular dynamics and cytoskeletal functions. In this project acetylation of actins was investigated with the use of LC-MS/MS and MS1 quantitation of the Total Ion Current signal.

Transcription profiling of mouse B16-F10 melanoma cells transfected with FoxD3

Project description:We wished to examine the genes regulated by FoxD3 in pigment cells to gain understanding in how FoxD3 represses melanoblast specification in the neural crest. For technical reasons, we could not use neural crest cells, so we used melanoma cells, since they are derived from neural crest cells. To this end, we transfected B16-F10 mouse melanoma cells with constructs expressing FoxD3, or FoxD3-VP16, in which the C-terminal portion of FoxD3 (which contains the transcriptional repression domain) has been replaced by the VP16 transcriptional activation domain. Experiment Overall Design: The base vector used for these studies was pMES, which expresses the gene of interest under control of the chick beta-actin promoter. EGFP is also expressed from the bicistronic mRNA through the use of an IRES. Experiment Overall Design: B16-F10 cells were transfected with either empty pMES, pFoxD3 (which contains FoxD3 inserted into pMES), or pFoxD3-VP16 (similar to pFoxD3, except that the C-terminal portion of FoxD3, which contains the transcriptional repression domain, has been replaced by the transcriptional activation domain of VP16). Experiment Overall Design: 24 hours after transfection, EGFP-positive cells were collected by FACS and those cells were subjected to microarray analysis.

RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq analysis of MKL1 blocked cells during reprogramming

Project description:Actins and regulators of actin dynamics generate contractile forces providing major mechanical and structural support for the cell. Whether and how they actively participate in cell fate control is not clear. Here, we report the actin responsive transcription factor complex MKL1/SRF, the major transcriptional regulator of large numbers of actin cytoskeletal genes, as an important regulator of genomic accessibility and cell fate outcome. Somatic cells with weaker MKL1/SRF activity progress toward pluripotency efficiently while sustained MKL1/SRF activity at a level seen in typical fibroblasts is sufficient to stall cells on their trajectory toward pluripotency. This altered cell fate outcome is associated with an overactive actin cytoskeleton, which connects to chromatin via the LINC complex, preventing its conversion into a relaxed, open conformation that allows sufficient accessibility to pluripotency-inducing transcription factors. Interfering with actin polymerization at appropriate times promotes pluripotency induction. Thus, we reveal a previously unappreciated aspect of cell fate control exerted by the actin based cytoskeletal system.

Molecular basis of F-actin regulation and sarcomere assembly via myotilin

Project description:Sarcomeres, the basic contractile units of striated muscle cells, contain arrays of thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments that slide past each other during contraction. The Ig-like domain containing protein myotilin provides structural integrity to Z-discs—the boundaries between adjacent sarcomeres. Myotilin binds to Z-disc components, including F-actin and α-actinin-2, but the molecular mechanism of binding and implications of these interactions on Z-disc integrity are still elusive. To illuminate them we used a combination of small angle X-ray scattering, cross-linking mass spectrometry, biochemical and molecular biophysics approaches. We discovered that myotilin displays conformational ensembles in solution. We generated a structural model of the F-actin:myotilin complex that revealed how myotilin interacts with and stabilizes F-actin via its Ig-like domains and flanking regions. Mutant myotilin designed with impaired F-actin binding showed increased dynamics in cells. Structural analyses and competition assays uncovered that myotilin displaces tropomyosin from F-actin. Our findings suggest a novel role of myotilin as a co-organizer of Z-disc assembly and advance our mechanistic understanding of myotilin's structural role in Zdiscs.
