G2 Phase Controls Binary Division of Toxoplasma gondii

ABSTRACT: The current study investigates the roles of a novel essential cell cycle kinase TgCrk4. We identified this kinase aalong with its cyclin partner and demonstrated that TgCrk4 regulates processes carried out during conventional G2 phase, such as repression of chromosome re-replication and centrosome re-duplication. Accumulation of TgCyc4 in the nucleus and on the centrosomes, supported the role of TgCrk4-TgCyc4 complex as a coordinator of chromosome and centrosome cycles in T. gondii.

A versatile division of apicomplexan parasites and a dearth of conserved regulators have hindered the progress of apicomplexan cell cycle studies. While most apicomplexans divide in a multinuclear fashion, Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites divide in the traditional binary mode. We previously identified five Toxoplasma CDK-related kinases (Crk). Here, we investigated TgCrk4 and its cyclin partner TgCyc4. We demonstrated that TgCrk4 regulates conventional G<sub>2</sub> phase processes, such as repress ...[more]

Deciphering TRIM69 interactors and its phosphor-proteomic regulation in centrosome dynamics

Project description:Stringent control of centrosome duplication and separation is important for preventing chromosome instability. Structural and numerical alterations in centrosomes are hallmarks of neoplastic cells and contribute to tumorigenesis. We show that a Centrosome Amplification 20 (CA20) gene signature is associated with high expression of the Tripartite Motif (TRIM) family member E3 ubiquitin ligase, TRIM69. TRIM69-ablation in cancer cells leads to centrosome scattering and chromosome segregation defects. To identify potential effectors of TRIM69 in regulating centrosome dynamics, we performed mass-spectrometry analysis of immunopurified TRIM69 complexes and defined the TRIM69 protein-interaction network. We discovered Serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 (MST2) as a new direct binding partner of TRIM69 and TRIM69 redistributes MST2 to the perinuclear cytoskeleton. Additionally, we performed IP mass- spectrometry analysis to define the MST2 interactome in the presence and absence of co-expressed TRIM69A. We found that WT TRIM69A (but not the E3 ligase mutant) promoted complex formation between MST2 and PLK1 in the detergent-insoluble CSK compartment. PLK1-mediated phosphorylation of MST2 at S15, S18 and S316 is crucial for centrosome disjunction. Analysis of MST2 phospho-peptides from the LC-MS/MS experiment revealed increased phosphorylation of S15, S316 and several other residues in the detergent-insoluble fraction of TRIM69A-overexpressing cells. Our findings suggest that TRIM69 is a new proximal regulator of distinct signaling pathways that regulate centrosome dynamics and promote bipolar mitosis. Further studies are necessary to identify the putative TRIM69A substrate(s) whose ubiquitination is necessary for regulating and interacting MST2 and centrosome dynamics. To address this issue, we have performed an unbiased mass spectrometry screen for TRIM69A-induced ubiquitination events.

Selective autophagy maintains centrosome integrity and accurate mitosis by turnover of centriolar satellites

Project description:The centrosome is the master orchestrator of mitotic spindle formation and chromosome segregation in animal cells. Centrosome abnormalities are frequently observed in cancer, but little is known of their origin and about pathways affecting centrosome homeostasis. Here we show that autophagy preserves centrosome organization and stability through selective turnover of centriolar satellite components, a process we termed doryphagy. Autophagy targets the satellite organizer PCM1 by interacting with GABARAPs via a C-terminal LIR motif. Accordingly, autophagy deficiency results in accumulation of large abnormal centriolar satellites and a resultant dysregulation of centrosome composition. These alterations have critical impact on centrosome stability and lead to mitotic centrosome fragmentation and unbalanced chromosome segregation. Our findings identify doryphagy as an important centrosome-regulating pathway and bring mechanistic insights to the link between autophagy dysfunction and chromosomal instability. In addition, we highlight the vital role of centriolar satellites in maintaining centrosome integrity.

Anchoring of heterochromatin to the nuclear lamina helps stabilize dosage compensation-mediated gene repression

Project description:Higher order structure of interphase chromosomes and their spatial organization within the nucleus can have profound effects on regulation of gene expression. We show how compartmentalizing the genome by tethering heterochromatic regions to the nuclear lamina can affect gene expression during C. elegans dosage compensation. In this organism, the dosage compensation complex (DCC) binds both X chromosomes of hermaphrodites to repress gene expression two-fold, thus balancing gene expression between XX hermaphrodites and XO males. X chromosome structure is disrupted by mutations in DCC subunits. We found that X chromosome structure and subnuclear localization are also disrupted when the mechanisms that anchor heterochromatin to the nuclear lamina are defective. Strikingly, the heterochromatic left end of the X chromosome is less affected than the gene-rich middle region which lacks heterochromatic anchors. Our results suggest a model in which tethers at the left of the chromosome nucleate formation of a compact structure, which, by the action of the DCC, is propagated to the rest of the chromosome. These changes in X chromosome structure and subnuclear localization are accompanied by small, but significant levels of derepression of X-linked genes, without any observable defects in DCC localization and DCC-mediated changes in histone modification.

Developmental signals control chromosome segregation fidelity during pluripotency and neurogenesis by modulating replicative stress

Project description:Human development relies on the correct replication, maintenance and segregation of our genetic blueprints. How these processes are monitored across embryonic lineages, and why genomic mosaicism varies during development remain unknown. Using pluripotent stem cells, we identify that several patterning signals –including WNT, BMP and FGF– converge into the modulation of DNA replication stress and damage during S-phase, which in turn controls chromosome segregation fidelity in mitosis. We show that the WNT and BMP signals protect from excessive origin firing, DNA damage and chromosome missegregation derived from stalled forks in pluripotency. Cell signalling control of chromosome segregation declines during lineage specification into the three germ layers, but re-emerges in neural progenitors. In particular, we find that the neurogenic factor FGF2 induces DNA replication stress-mediated chromosome missegregation during the onset of neurogenesis, which could provide a rationale for the elevated chromosomal mosaicism of the developing brain. Our results highlight roles for morphogens and cellular identity in genome maintenance that contribute to somatic mosaicism during mammalian development.

RNA-seq analysis for VCPWT and VCPT76A breast tumor

Project description:Proper centrosome movement to the bipolar position is a prerequisite for bipolar spindle orientation and genome stability. Polo like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a key mitotic kinase which controls centrosome separation. Here we found that Plk1 phosphorylated residue Thr76 in VCP/p97, an AAA-ATPase mainly involved in protein homeostasis, at centrosome from prophase to anaphase. This phosphorylation recruited VCP to centrosome to regulate centrosome orientation. VCP also exhibited strong co-localization with Eg5, a mitotic kinesin motor for centrosome movement, at mitotic spindle, and dephosphorylation of Thr76 in VCP was required for the enrichment of VCP and Eg5 to the spindle, thus, ensuring proper spindle orientation and chromosome segregation. Since genome instability is the hallmark of cancer and the phosphorylation of Thr76 in VCP is important for proper centrosome movement, spindle orientation, and chromosome segregation, we, thus, knocked down VCP in MDA-MB-231cells by its specific shRNA, and reconstituted the expression of VCP by infecting the cells with lentivirus encoding shRNA-resistant Flag-VCPWT or Flag-VCPT76A. We then implanted VCPWT- or VCPT76A-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells into nude mice and found that the tumor growth in mice implanted with VCPT76A-expressing cells was significantly slower when compared with the mice implanted with the Flag-VCPWT-expressing cells. To better understand the decreased tumor formation ability of Flag-VCPT76A-expressing cells, we isolated the primary breast tumor tissues for the RNA-Seq analysis. Of the 57,905 mapped whole genome genes in the isolated tumors, we identiﬁed 234 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.1).

Spatial centrosome proteome of human neural cells uncovers novel interactors and disease hubs

Project description:Despite the crucial importance of the centrosome in brain development and disease, its comprehensive proteome remains uncharacterized in neural cells. Here, we used spatial proteomics to elucidate protein interaction networks at the centrosome of iPSC-derived human neural stem cells (NSCs) and neurons. Centrosome-associated proteins were largely cell type-specific, with protein hubs involved in RNA dynamics. Analysis of neurodevelopmental disease cohorts identified a significant overrepresentation of NSC centrosome proteins with variants in patients with periventricular heterotopia (PH). Expressing the PH-associated mutant splicing factor PRPF6 reproduced the periventricular misplacement in the developing mouse brain, highlighting mis-splicing of transcripts of the MAP-kinase SAD-A at centrosomal location as essential for the phenotype. Collectively, cell type-specific centrosome interactomes explain how genetic variants in ubiquitous proteins may convey brain-specific phenotypes.

Mast cell intracellular traps (MIT) release neutrophil effector proteins during degranulation and nexocytosis

Project description:Degranulating mast cells (MCs) release inflammatory mediators (proteins, lipids, small molecules), including chemokines and chemoattractants, which recruit other immune cells in tissues. Neutrophils can initiate self-amplifying swarming responses via intercellular communication through the lipid leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Initially discovered by two-photon intravital microscopy in mice and confocal live cell imaging, we show that degranulating MCs release LTB4 and exploit this attractant by re-directing neutrophils to MCs. In a process generally termed entosis, neutrophil cluster formation around MCs results in the trapping of living neutrophils inside MC vacuoles in vivo and in vitro. Thus, we identify a novel cell-in-cell structure between MCs and neutrophils, which we term “Mast Cell Intracellular Trap” (MIT). Compared to MCs, MITs revealed improved MC metabolism and recovery after degranulation. This leads to several benefits for MITs: (1) they can be more efficiently re-stimulated than MCs, (2) they show improved survival under nutrient limitation, and (3) MITs store neutrophil proteins, DNA and effector molecules, which can be released after re-stimulation. In this context, we compare the secretome (secreted proteins) of MCs and MITs (in cell culture) before and subsequent to degranulation via label-free nanoLC-MS. In summary, mast cells trap and cannibalize swarming neutrophils, which supply nutrients, proteins and inflammatory molecules to recovering MCs. Our studies may have potential implications for chronically activated MCs in MC-related immune disorders.

Gene expression in mitotic tissues of Drosophila larvae without centrosomes or too many centrosomes

Project description:Centrosome defects are a common feature of many cancers. Surprisingly, flies can proceed through the majority of development without centrosomes or with amplified centrosomes in most of their cells. It is unclear whether this is because centrosome defects do not cause many problems in Drosophila cells, or because they can adapt to cope with any problems that arise. Indeed, centrosome loss and centrosome amplification predispose fly brain cells to form tumours. Here we assess how centrosome loss or centrosome amplification perturbs cell physiology by profiling the global transcriptome of Drosophila larval brains and imaginal discs that either lack centrosomes or have too many centrosomes. Mitotic tissues (brains and imaginal discs) were dissected from 3rd instar Drosophila larvae of mutants lacking centrosomes (DSas-4 and DSas-6), a strain with too many centrosomes (SakOE) and two different wild type strains (w67 and OregonR). We extracted RNA from three biological replicates per strain and used it for hybridisation to Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 arrays. Per biological sample, material dissected from ten larvae was pooled. Gene expression of the mutant strains was compared to both wild type controls.

Transient genomic instability drives tumorigenesis through accelerated clonal evolution

Project description:Abnormal numerical and structural chromosome content is frequently found in human cancer. However, the role of aneuploidy in tumor initiation and progression is poorly understood. To test the effect of aneuploidy on cancer development, we transiently induced chromosome instability (CIN) in mice by inducible overexpression of polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4), a master regulator of centrosome number. Short term increased PLK4 expression generated significant centrosome amplification and aneuploidy resulting in the formation of aggressive T cell lymphomas in mice with heterozygous inactivation of one p53 allele or accelerated tumor development in the absence of p53. Transient CIN increased the frequency of lymphoma-initiating cells, as revealed by T cell receptor sequencing of tumor samples. Transient CIN produced a unique tumor karyotype containing triploid chromosomes 4, 5, 14, and 15, as determined by whole genome sequencing.
