The Scar/WAVE complex drives normal actin protrusions without the VCA domain, but proline-rich domains are required

ABSTRACT: The Scar/WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) is the main catalyst of pseudopod and lamellipodium formation during cell migration. Its actin nucleation activity has been attributed to its ability to activate the Arp2/3 complex through the VCA domain of Scar/WAVE. Here we show in both B16-F1 mouse melanoma cells and Dictyostelium discoideum cells that the WRC with its VCA domain deleted can still induce the formation of morphologically normal actin protrusions. Its function is lost only after further deletion of Scar/WAVE’s (in Dictyostelium cells) or both Abi and WAVE’s (in B16-F1 cells) proline-rich domains. Moreover, mass spectrometry analysis identified BAIAP2 and Vasp (both promotors of actin polymerization) as specific interactors of WRC polyproline domains. Thus we conclude that proline-rich domains play a central role in actin nucleation by concentrating other effectors needed to form actin protrusions. Together, these findings suggest a new mechanism for WRC action independent of the VCA-Arp2/3 interaction.

An interphase actin wave promotes mitochondrial content mixing and 2 organelle homeostasis

Project description:Across the cell cycle, mitochondrial dynamics are regulated by a cycling wave of actin polymerization/depolymerization. In metaphase, this wave induces the assembly of actin comet tails on mitochondria that propel these organelles to drive spatial mixing,resulting in their equitable inheritance by daughter cells. In contrast, during interphasethe cycling actin wave promotes localized mitochondrial fission. Here, we identify the F-actin nucleator/elongator FMNL1 as a positive regulator of the wave. Depletion of FMNL1 ablates the actin wave, allowing us to assess the functional consequences in interphase cells. FMNL1-depleted cells exhibit decreased mitochondrial polarization, decreased mitochondrial oxygen consumption, and increased production of reactive oxygen species. Accompanying these changes is a loss of hetero-fusion of wave-fragmented mitochondria. Thus we propose that the interphase actin wave maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by promoting mitochondrial content mixing. Finally, we investigated the mechanistic basis for the observation that the wave drives mitochondrial motility in metaphase but mitochondrial fission in interphase. Our data indicate that when the force of actin polymerization is resisted by mitochondrial tethering to microtubules, fission results. In striking contrast, upon microtubule depolymerization actin wave-enveloped mitochondria in interphase cells display comet tail motility characteristic of metaphase cells, which are devoid of microtubule-mitochondria interactions, suggesting that microtubule tethering inhibits comet tail-driven motility.

Fam49/CYRI interacts with Rac1 and locally suppresses protrusions

Project description:Actin-based protrusions driving cell migration are reinforced through positive feedback, but it is unclear how the cell restricts the eventual size of protrusions, or limits positive signals to allow them to split or retract. We have identified an evolutionarily conserved regulator of the protrusion machinery, which we name CYRI (CYFIP-related Rac interactor). CYRI binds specifically to activated Rac1 via a common motif that is also found in CYFIP, the Domain of Unknown Function DUF1394; we demonstrate that DUF1394 as a new class of Rac1 binding module. CYRI-depleted cells have broad, Scar/WAVE-enriched lamellipodia and display an enhanced duration and extent of pseudopod extension in response to optogenetic Rac1 activation. Conversely, CYRI overexpression suppresses recruitment of active Scar/WAVE complex to the cell edge and results in short-lived, unproductive protrusions. CYRI dynamically inhibits Scar/WAVE induced actin to focus positive protrusion signals and regulate pseudopod complexity. It therefore behaves like a “local inhibitor” predicted and described in widely accepted mathematical models, but not previously identified in living cells. CYRI is important for processes requiring polarity and plasticity of protrusions, including directional chemotactic migration and polarization of epithelial cysts.

Affinity Purification Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Mutant and Wildtype SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic is arguably the most important global threat to humankind that the world has seen in a century. SARS-CoV-2 has now reached 196 countries across all continents with over 159 million confirmed cases with 3.3 million deaths todate. Currently, our knowledge on how and why SARS-CoV-2 causes severe COVID-19 is continually evolving. Here, we identified three consecutive SNPs (G28881A, G28882A, G28883C) resulting in the Nucleocapsid (N) protein amino acid mutations R203K and G204R (simply termed KR mutation) by large-scale SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing from clinical swab samples of patients. The nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2, the highly abundant structure protein within the infected cells, serves multiple functions during viral infection, which besides RNA binding, playing essential roles in viral transcription, replication, and translation. We investigated the impact of this KR mutation on the functional properties of N protein in terms of host protein interaction and phosphorylation status by mass spectrometry.

APIM-peptide targeting PCNA improves cisplatin therapy in a rat muscle-invasive bladder cancer model

Project description:High mortality rate of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and complexity of disease demand new multi-targeting treatment strategies. Targeting proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) with a peptide containing the AlkB homologue 2 PCNA interacting motif (APIM), is shown to impair multiple vital cellular stress responses and induce hypersensitivity against several chemotherapeutics in different pre-clinical models. This study examine the anti-cancer efficacy of the novel APIM-peptide drug when combined with cisplatin-based therapies (cisplatin, cisplatin/gemcitabine (GC) and methotrexate/vinblastine/adriamycin/cisplatin (MVAC)) in a panel of bladder cancer (BC) cells and with intravenous cisplatin-therapy in a rat MIBC-model. Furthermore, we explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed effects on a genomic, proteomic and metabolomic level using microarray, multiplexed inhibitor bead (MIB)-assay, and targeted mass spectrometric metabolite profiling. The APIM-peptide significantly increased the efficacy of all cisplatin-based therapies in all BC cell lines tested, including a cisplatin resistant cell line and reduced the tumor load in cisplatin treated MIBC-bearing rats. Genome and proteome analysis of APIM-peptide/cisplatin treated BC cells revealed reduced expression of multiple proteins frequently overexpressed in MIBC. Of notice, the EGFR/ERBB2, PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways and anti-apoptosis were downregulated. We suggest that the anti-cancer effect of the APIM-peptide is through the downregulation of several known oncogenic signaling pathways including anti-apoptosis. Together our results indicate that the APIM-peptide represents a potential improved treatment approach for patients with MIBC.

Mmp14 is essential for circadian clock rhythmicity in fibroblasts

Project description:Membrane type I-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP/Mmp14) is an unusual MMP because it is essential for survival in mice with multiple organ systems being affected for reasons that are unclear. Here, we show that the protein (MT1-MMP) and gene (Mmp14) are under strict circadian clock control and conditional knockout in fibroblasts leads to ~16% of the proteome losing or inverting circadian rhythmicity. The result is loss of the actin cytoskeleton and cell-matrix adhesions and major imbalance of the matrisome. Lack of collagen-I monomer turnover results in excess fibril formation in the absence of Mmp14. In the absence of Mmp14, paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (Pitx2) is upregulated and remains in the nucleus where it drives Plod2 expression. The overall result is accumulation of collagen fibrils and elevated pyridinoline crosslinking that renders collagen fibrils insoluble. In conclusion, Mmp14 is a master regulator of circadian rhythms affecting the actin cytoskeleton and cell microenvironment.

SEMA3E-PLXND1 induced transcriptional changes in B16 melanocytes

Project description:Exposure to SEMA3E cause an immediate but transient collapse in F-actin of B16 melanocytes expressing the receptor PLXND1. Concomitant signal transduction by activated PLXND1 receptor mediated via its GTPase activating domain has a role in adapting the melanocytes to its micro-environment. To analyse these adaptive transcriptional responses B16 melanocytes were treated with SEMA3E for 2h to study early responses and for 8h to study prolonged responses. Cytochalasin D (8h) was used to distinguish the effects brough about by cytoskeletal collapse alone.
