BAG5, a co-chaperone protein, regulates the assembly of HTCA in sperm

ABSTRACT: Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome is severe teratozoospermia, displaying the separation of the sperm head and tail. In 2015, we first reported that genetic ablation of SPATA6 results in the separation of sperm head and tail. Here, we focus on a co-chaperone protein BAG5 that interacts with SPATA6 and expresses in steps 9-16 spermatids. The deficiency of BAG5 in male mice causes the abnormal assembly of the head-tail coupling apparatus (HTCA), leading to acephalic spermatozoa and male infertility. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that HTCA formation-related proteins (SPATA6), cargo transport-related myosin proteins (MYO5A and MYL6) and dynein proteins (DYNLT1, DCTN1 and DNAL1) were misfolded after loss of BAG5. Further, BAG5 interacts with HSPA8 to regulate its affinity with SPATA6, myosin proteins and dynein proteins. Therefore, we speculate that BAG5 regulates the assembly of the head-tail coupling apparatus (HTCA) by activating the protein-folding function of HSPA8.

Revealing RNA poly(A) tail dynamics during spermiogenesis and its function to support male fertility [dRNA-seq_mutants]

Project description:TENT5C is a terminal nucleotidyltransferase with mRNA polyadenylation activity, required for the fastening of the flagella and the head of the sperm. However, TENT5C’s role in shaping the poly(A) tail of the elongating spermatid transcriptome remains limited. Here we show that the poly(A) polymerase activity of TENT5C is required for fertility and spermiogenesis: male mice expressing catalytically inactive TENT5C (Tent5cdCat/dCat) are sterile and produce headless spermatozoa phenocopying TENT5C-deficient animals. We found that the transcript encoding for the structural proteins SMCP and ODF1 are directly targeted by TENT5C. We propose a model in which TENT5C secures the fastening of the flagella to the head of the sperm by targeting ODF1 in elongating spermatids.

SUN5 interacts with nuclear membrane LaminB1 and cytoskeletal GTPase Septin12 mediating the sperm head-and-tail junction

Project description:Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome (ASS) is a severe teratospermia with decaudated, decapitated and malformed sperm, resulting in male infertility. Nuclear envelop (NE) protein SUN5 localizes to the junction between the sperm head and tail. Mutations in SUN5 gene have been identified most frequently (33-47%) in ASS cases, and the molecular mechanism needs to be explored. In the present study, we generated Sun5 knockout mice, which presented the phenotype of ASS. Nuclear membrane protein LaminB1, cytoskeletal GTPases Septin12 and Septin2 were identified as potential partners for interacting with SUN5 in mouse testis by immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS). Further studies demonstrated that SUN5 co-operated with LaminB1, and connected proximal centriole by interacting with Septin12. The binding between SUN5 and Septin12 promoted the aggregation of SUN5 and Septin12 in the sperm neck. The disruption of LaminB1/SUN5/Septin12 complex by Sun5 deficiency caused separation of the Septin12- proximal centriole from the nucleus, leading to the breakage of the head-to-tail junction. Collectively, these data provide new insights into the pathogenesis of ASS caused by SUN5 deficiency.

In-depth proteomic analysis of carp (Cyprinus carpio L) spermatozoa

Project description:Using a combination of protein fractionation by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography - electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, we identified 348 proteins in carp spermatozoa, most of which were for the first time identified in fish. Dynein, tubulin, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, adenosylhomocysteinase, NKEF-B, brain type creatine kinase, mitochondrial ATP synthase, and valosin containing enzyme represent high abundance proteins in carp spermatozoa. These proteins are functionally related to sperm motility and energy production as well as the protection of sperm against oxidative injury and stress. Moreover, carp sperm is equipped with functionally diverse proteins involved in signal transduction, transcription, translation, protein turnover and transport. About 15% of carp sperm proteins identified here were also detected in seminal plasma which may be a result of leakage from spermatozoa into seminal plasma, adsorption of seminal plasma proteins on spermatozoa surface, and expression in both spermatozoa and cells secreting seminal plasma proteins. The availability of a catalogue of carp sperm proteins provides substantial advances for an understanding of sperm function and for future development of molecular diagnostic tests of carp sperm quality, the evaluation of which is currently limited to certain parameters such as sperm count, morphology and motility or viability.

HEATR5B associates with dynein-dynactin and selectively promotes motility of AP1- bound endosomal membranes_BioMass@LMB

Project description:The dynein motor complex mediates polarised trafficking of a wide variety of organelles, intracellular vesicles and macromolecules. These functions are dependent on the dynactin 5 complex, which helps recruit cargoes to dynein’s tail region and activates motor movement. How dynein and dynactin orchestrate trafficking of diverse cargoes is unclear. Here, we identify HEATR5B, an interactor of the AP1 clathrin adaptor complex, as a novel player in dynein-dynactin function. HEATR5B is one of several proteins recovered in a biochemical screen for proteins whose association with the human dynein tail complex is augmented by 10 dynactin. We show that HEATR5B binds directly to the dynein tail and dynactin and stimulates motility of AP1-associated endosomal membranes in human cells. We also demonstrate that the HEATR5B homologue in Drosophila is an essential gene that promotes dynein-based transport of AP1-bound membranes to the Golgi apparatus. As HEATR5B lacks the coiledcoil architecture typical of dynein adaptors, our data point to a non-canonical process 15 orchestrating motor function on a specific cargo. We additionally show that HEATR5B promotes association of AP1 with endosomal membranes in a dynein-independent manner. Thus, HEATR5B co-ordinates multiple events in AP1-based trafficking.

Interactors and targeted substrates of UBL7 in mouse testis and sperm

Project description:Spermiogenesis is a tightly regulated process to produce mature sperm cells. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a crucial role in controlling protein half-life and is essential for spermiogenesis. In this study, we demonstrate that UBL7, a testis-enriched UBL-UBA protein, is indispensable for sperm formation. UBL7 interacts with the valosin-containing protein (VCP) complex and proteasomes, and shuttles substrates between them. Notably, UBL7 slows down the degradation rates of substrates involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) within cells. Through tandem mass tag (TMT)-labeled quantitative proteomics of sperm from Ubl7+/- and Ubl7-/- epididymis, we found lots of proteins were decreased in Ubl7-/- sperm, including critical factors involved in ATP metabolism and glycolytic process. Through a two-step immunoprecipitation method, we identify several essential factors in spermatids that are protected by UBL7, including factors involved in the development of manchette (such as IFT140), head-tail coupling apparatus (such as SPATA20) and cytoplasmic droplets (such as HK1 and SLC2a3). In summary, our findings highlight UBL7 as a guardian that protects crucial factors from excessive degradation and thereby ensures successful spermiogenesis.

HSPA8 dampens SCAP/INSIG split and SREBP activation by reducing PKR-mediated INSIG phosphorylation

Project description:Lipid accumulation in the renal tubules is a major determinant of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and activation of SREBPs plays a central role in this process. Our study aimed to explore whether HSPA8, a molecular chaperone, is the master regulator of INSIG/SREBPs function in DKD. Here, we showed that tubular epithelial cell (TEC)-specific knockout of HSPA8 upregulated the phosphorylation of INSIG1 and INSIG2, which disrupted the interaction between INSIG proteins and SCAP, leading to the translocation of the SCAP-SREBP complex to the Golgi apparatus, and the activation of SREBPs. TEC-specific overexpression of HSPA8 restrained these changes. INSIG1 and INSIG2 can be phosphorylated by protein kinase R (PKR), while HSPA8 can recognize PKR and recruit the E3 ubiquitin ligase (CHIP) to promote PKR ubiquitination and degradation. SREBP1 transcriptionally activated HSPA8 expression under temporary hyperglycemic stimulation. However, persistent hyperglycemia reduced HSPA8 levels by promoting nuclear factor (NF)-κB-mediated transcriptional inhibition and reducing USP43-mediated deubiquitination of HSPA8. Collectively, these findings indicate that the molecular chaperone HSPA8 serves as a negative feedback regulator of SREBPs, lipogenesis, and DKD development.

GIV/Girdin Regulates Spatiotemporal Signaling during Sperm Capacitation and is Required for Male Fertility

Project description:For a sperm to successfully fertilize an egg, it must first undergo capacitation in the female reproductive tract, and later undergo acrosomal reaction (AR) upon encountering an egg. How premature AR is avoided despite rapid surges in signaling cascades during capacitation remains unknown. Using a combination of KO mice and cell-penetrating peptides, here we show that GIV (CCDC88A), a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEM) for trimeric GTPases, is highly expressed in spermatocytes and is required for male fertility. GIV is rapidly phosphoregulated on key tyrosine and serine residues in human and murine sperms. These phosphomodifications enable GIV-GEM to orchestrate two distinct compartmentalized signaling programs in the sperm tail and head; in the tail, GIV enhances PI3K→Akt signals, sperm motility and survival, whereas in the head it inhibits cAMP surge and premature AR. Furthermore, GIV transcripts are downregulated in the testes and semen of infertile men. These findings exemplify the spatiotemporally segregated signaling programs that support sperm capacitation and the etiology of infertility in men.

CTCF contributes in a critical way to spermatogenesis and male fertility

Project description:The CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is an architectural protein that governs chromatin organization and gene expression in somatic cells. Here, we show that CTCF regulates chromatin compaction necessary for packaging of the paternal genome into mature sperm. Inactivation of Ctcf in male germ cells in mice (Ctcf-cKO mice) resulted in impaired spermiogenesis and infertility. Residual spermatozoa in Ctcf-cKO mice displayed abnormal head morphology, aberrant chromatin compaction, impaired protamine 1 incorporation into chromatin and accelerated histone depletion. Thus, CTCF regulates chromatin organization during spermiogenesis, contributing to the functional organization of mature sperm.

Connection of core and and tail Mediator modules restrains transcription from TFIID-dependent promoters [ChEC-seq Med16-AID]

Project description:The Mediator coactivator complex is divided into four modules: head, middle, tail, and kinase. Deletion of the architectural subunit Med16 separates core Mediator (cMed), comprising the head, middle, and scaffold (Med14), from the tail. However, the direct global effects of tail/cMed disconnection are unclear. We find that rapid depletion of Med16 downregulates genes that require the SAGA complex for full expression, consistent with their reported tail dependence, but also moderately overactivates TFIID-dependent genes in a manner partly dependent on the separated tail, which remains associated with upstream activating sequences. Suppression of TBP dynamics via removal of the Mot1 ATPase partially restores normal transcriptional activity to Med16-depleted cells, suggesting that cMed/tail separation results in an imbalance in the levels PIC formation at SAGA-requiring and TFIID-dependent genes. We suggest that the preferential regulation of SAGA-requiring genes by tailed Mediator helps maintain a proper balance of transcription between these genes and those more dependent on TFIID.
