Project description:Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) counteract ubiquitylation to control the stability or activity of their substrates. Identifying DUB substrates is challenging and genetic approaches can be thwarted by redundant action of DUBs. Here, we circumvented redundancy by broadly inhibiting DUBs in Xenopus egg extract and used quantitative mass spectrometry to identify over thirty proteins that undergo proteasomal degradation, the majority of which have not been reported as DUB substrates. These results were confirmed with recombinant human proteins, demonstrating the conservation of their DUB-dependent stability. We used these substrates to profile the ability of a panel of DUBs to rescue degradation. This approach revealed that USP7, uniquely among the 14 DUBs tested, has a broad ability to rescue degradation. USP21, which is used widely to nonspecifically deubiquitylate proteins in vitro, was unable to rescue degradation, highlighting the importance of profiling enzyme activity in a physiological system. Together, we identify new DUB substrates and present a system to characterize physiological DUB specificity, overcoming the challenges posed by DUB redundancy.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) are histone-modifying and -binding complexes that mediate the formation of facultative heterochromatin and are required for silencing of developmental genes and maintenance of cell fate. Multiple pathways of RNA decay work together to establish and maintain heterochromatin in fission yeast, including a recently identified role for a conserved RNA degradation complex called the rixosome or RIX1 complex. Whether RNA degradation also plays a role in the stability of mammalian heterochromatin remains unknown. Here we show that the rixosome contributes to silencing of many Polycomb targets in human cells. The rixosome associates with human PRC complexes and is enriched at promoters of Polycomb target genes. Importantly, depletion of either the rixosome or Polycomb results in accumulation of paused and elongating RNA polymerase at Polycomb-target genes. We identify point mutations in the RING1B subunit of PRC1 that disrupt the interaction between PRC1 and the rixosome and result in diminished silencing, suggesting that direct recruitment of the rixosome to chromatin is required for silencing. Finally, we show that the RNA kinase activity of the rixosome and the XRN2 exoribonuclease, which degrades RNAs with 5’ mono-phosphate groups generated by the rixosome, are required for silencing. Our findings suggest that rixosome-mediated degradation of nascent RNA is conserved from fission yeast to human, although in human cells the rixosome degrades RNA in facultative rather than constitutive heterochromatin.

Project description:Kabuki Syndrome (KS) is a multisystemic rare disorder, characterized by growth delay, distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, and rarely autism spectrum disorder. This condition is mostly caused by de novo mutations of KMT2D, encoding a catalytic subunit of the COMPASS complex involved in enhancer regulation. KMT2D catalyzes the deposition of histone-3-lysine-4 mono-methyl (H3K4Me1) that marks active and poised enhancers. To assess the impact of KMT2D mutations in the chromatin landscape of KS tissues, we have generated patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), which we further differentiated into neural crest stem cells (NCSC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and cortical neurons (iN). In addition, we further collected blood samples from 5 additional KS patients. To complete our disease modeling cohort we generated an isogenic KMT2D mutant line from human embryonic stem cells, which we differentiated into neural precursor and mature neurons. Micro-electrode-array (MEA)-based neural network analysis of KS iNs revealed an altered pattern of spontaneous network-bursts in a Kabuki-specific pattern. RNA-seq profiling was performed to relate this aberrant MEA pattern to transcriptional dysregulations, revealing that dysregulated genes were enriched for neuronal functions, such as ion channels, synapse activity, and electrophysiological activity. Here we show that KMT2D haploinsufficiency tends to heavily affect the transcriptome of cortical neurons and differentiated tissues while sparing multipotent states, suggesting that KMT2D has a most prevalent role in terminally differentiated cell and activate transcriptional circuitry unique to each cell type. Moreover, thorough profiling of H3K4Me1 unveiled the almost complete uncoupling between this chromatin mark and the regulatory effects of KMT2D on transcription, which is instead reflected by a defect of H3K27Ac. By integrating RNA-seq with ChIP-seq data we defined TEAD and REST as the master effectors of KMT2D haploinsufficiency. Also, we identified a subset of genes whose regulation is controlled by the balance between KMT2D and EZH2 dosage. Finally, we identified the bona fide direct targets of KMT2D in healthy and KS mature cortical neurons and TEAD2 as the main proxy of KMT2D dysregulation in KS. Overall, our study provides the transcriptional and epigenomic characterization of patient-derived tissues as well as iPSCs and differentiated disease-relevant cell types, as well as the identification of KMT2D direct target in cortical neurons, together with the identification of a neuronal phenotype of the spontaneous electrical activity.

Project description:The neural stem cell decision to self-renew or differentiate is tightly regulated by its microenvironment. Here, we have asked about this microenvironment, focusing on growth factors in the embryonic cortex at a time when it is largely comprised of neural precursor cells (NPCs) and newborn neurons. We show that cortical NPCs secrete factors that promote their maintenance while cortical neurons secrete factors that promote differentiation. To define factors important for these activities, we used transcriptome profiling to identify ligands produced by NPCs and neurons, cell surface mass spectrometry to identify receptors on these cells, and computational modeling to integrate these data. The resultant model predicts a complex growth factor environment with multiple autocrine and paracrine interactions. We tested this communication model, focusing on neurogenesis, and identified IFNγ, Nrtn and glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) as ligands with unexpected roles in promoting neurogenic differentiation of NPCs in vivo. We prepared E16 cortical neuron, E13 cortical precursor and co-cultured E16 cortical neuron and E13 cortical precursor cultures from three independent biological replicates.

Project description:Spemann and Mangold Organizer (SMO) is of fundamental importance for the dorsal ventral body axis formation during vertebrate embryogenesis. Maternal Huluwa (Hwa) has been identified as the dorsal determinant that is both necessary and sufficient for the SMO formation. However, it remains unclear how Hwa is regulated. Here we report that the E3 ubiquitin ligase zinc and ring finger 3 (ZNRF3) is essential for restricting the spatial activity of Hwa, and therefore the proper SMO formation in Xenopus leavis. ZNRF3 interacts with and ubiquitinates Hwa thereby regulating its lysosomal trafficking and protein stability. Perturbation of ZNRF3 leads to the accumulation of Hwa and induction of ectopic axis in embryos. Ectopic expression of ZNRF3 promotes Hwa degradation and damps the axis-inducing activity of Hwa. Thus, our findings identify a substrate of ZNRF3, but also highlight the importance of the regulation of Hwa temporospatial activity in body axis formation in vertebrate embryos.

Project description:FUS is one of the pathogenic RNA-binding proteins for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We previously reported that FUS stabilized SynGAP mRNA at its 3’UTR and maintained spine maturation and cognitive function in mice. To elucidate whether this mechanism could be pathogenic for ALS, we identified SynGAP 3’UTR variant at the binding site of FUS, different from that in mice, from a multicenter cohort in Japan. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-derived motor neurons with SynGAP variant showed spine abnormality with aberrant SynGAP splicing. To evaluate how SynGAP variant altered the access of RNA binding proteins to SynGAP 3'UTR, we performed pull down assay by using biotinylated RNA probes with or without the variant.

Project description:The tumor suppressor gene adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is mutated in most colorectal cancers (CRC) resulting in constitutive Wnt activation. To understand the Wnt-activating mechanism of APC mutation, we applied CRISPR/Cas9 technology to engineer various APC-truncated isogenic lines. We find that the β-catenin inhibitory domain (CID) in APC represents the threshold for pathological levels of Wnt activation and tumor transformation. Mechanistically, CID-deleted APC truncation promotes β-catenin deubiquitination through reverse binding of β-TrCP and USP7 to the destruction complex. USP7 depletion in APC-mutated CRC inhibits Wnt activation by restoring β-catenin ubiquitination, drives differentiation and suppresses xenograft tumor growth. Finally, the Wnt-activating role of USP7 is specific to APC mutations, thus can be used as tumor-specific therapeutic target for most CRCs.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions in protein and lipid synthesis, calcium ion flux, and inter-organelle communication, all of which are driven by the ER proteome landscape. ER is remodeled in part through autophagy-dependent protein turnover involving membrane-embedded ER-phagy receptors1,2. A refined tubular ER network is formed in neurons within highly polarized dendrites and axons3,4. Autophagy-deficient neurons in vivo display axonal ER accumulation within synaptic ER boutons, associated with hyper-excitability,5 and the ER-phagy receptor FAM134B has been genetically linked with human sensory and autonomic neuropathy6,7. However, mechanisms and receptor selectivity underlying ER remodeling by autophagy in neurons is limited. Here, we employ genetic, proteomic and computational tools to create a quantitative landscape of ER proteome remodeling via selective autophagy during conversion of stem cells to induced neurons in vitro. Through analysis of single and combinatorial ER-phagy receptor mutants coupled with an allelic series computational framework, we delineate the extent to which each of five receptors contributes to both the magnitude of ER turnover by autophagy and the selectivity of clearance for individual ER proteins. We define specific subsets of reticulon-domain containing ER-tubule shaping proteins or luminal proteins as preferred clients for autophagic turnover via distinct receptors. Using spatial sensors and flux reporters, we demonstrate receptor-specific autophagic capture of ER in axons, which correlates with aberrant accumulation of ER in axonal structures in ER-phagy receptor or autophagy-deficient cells. This molecular inventory of ER proteome remodeling and versatile genetic toolkit provides a quantitative framework for understanding the contributions of individual ER-phagy receptors for reshaping this critical organelle during transitions in cell states.
