Project description:CD8+ T cells are critical mediators of pathogen clearance and anti-tumor immunity. Although signaling pathways leading to the activation of NF-B transcription factors have crucial functions in the regulation of immune responses, the CD8+ T cell-autonomous roles of the different NF-B subunits, are still unresolved. Here, we investigated the function of the ubiquitously expressed transcription factor RelA in CD8+ T-cell biology using a novel mouse model and gene-edited human cells. We found that CD8+ T cell-specific ablation of RelA markedly altered the transcriptome of ex vivo stimulated cells, but maintained the proliferative capacity of both mouse and human cells. In contrast, in vivo experiments showed that RelA deficiency did not affect the CD8+ T-cell response to acute viral infection or transplanted tumors. Our data suggest that in CD8+ T cells, RelA is dispensable for their protective activity in pathological contexts.

Project description:Post-translational modification of NF-κB subunits provides a mechanism to differentially regulate their activity in response to the many stimuli that can induce this pathway. However, the physiological significance of these modifications is largely unknown and it remains unclear if these have a critical role in the normal and pathological functions of NF-κB in vivo. Among these, phosphorylation of the RelA(p65) Thr505 residue has been described as an important regulator of NF-κB activity in cell lines but its physiological significance was not known. Therefore, to learn more about the role of this pathway in vivo, we generated a knockin mouse with a RelA T505A mutation. Unlike RelA knockout mice, the RelA T505A mice develop normally but exhibit aberrant hepatocyte proliferation following liver partial hepatectomy or damage resulting from carbon tetrachloride treatment. Consistent with these effects, RelA T505A mice exhibit earlier onset of cancer in the N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) model of hepatocellular carcinoma. This data reveals a critical pathway controlling NF-κB function in the liver that acts to suppress tumour-promoting activities of RelA.

Project description:Proteasome-mediated degradation of chromatin-bound NF-κB is critical in terminating the transcription of pro-inflammatory genes and can be triggered by Set9-mediated lysine methylation of RelA subunit. However, the E3 ligase targeting methylated RelA remains unknown. Here, we identified two structurally similar WD-40 repeat (WDR) proteins, WSB1 and WSB2, as the E3s that recognize chromatin-bound methylated RelA for polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. WSB1/2 specifically recognized methylated lysines (K) 314 and 315 of RelA via their WDR domains. Deletion of WRD in WSB1/2 or mutation of K314/315 of RelA to arginines abolished the interaction between WSB1/2 and RelA. RNA-sequencing of TNF--stimulated WSB1/2 knockdown cells revealed that WSB1/2 negatively regulated a subset of NF-B target genes with reduced polyubiquitination of chromatin-bound RelA. TNF- stimulated the methylation of RelA and the subsequent recruitment of WSB1/2 to the promoters of these NF-B target genes to terminate the transcription. Computational modeling demonstrated that a highly conserved Asp within repeat 3 of WDR domains of WSB1/2 coordinated its interaction with K314/K315 of RelA, with a higher pKa when either of the lysines is methylated. Together, these findings identify novel E3 ligases that target chromatin-bound methylated RelA for proteolysis to prevent sustained NF-κB activation, providing new targets for therapeutic intervention of NF-κB-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Transcription factor NF-κB regulates cellular responses to environmental cues. For many stimuli NF-κB resides only transiently in the nucleus. Consequently, time-dependent transcriptional outputs are a fundamental feature of NF-κB activation. Here we identify mechanisms that direct kinetic patterns of NF-κB-dependent gene expression and transcriptional outcomes in response to a transient NF-κB-inducing stimulus in B cells. By combining RELA binding, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment, and perturbation of NF-κB activation, we demonstrate that kinetic differences amongst early- and late-activated RELA target genes can be understood based on chromatin configuration prior to cell activation and RELA-dependent priming, respectively. Additionally, we identified genes that were repressed by RELA activation and others that responded to RELA-activated transcription factors. Cumulatively, our studies define an NF-κB-responsive inducible gene cascade in activated B cells.

Project description:NF-κB has an essential role in innate immune response and inflammation and is involved in cancer development and progression. We apply the SEC-PCP-SILAC method incorporating metabolic labeling, size exclusion chromatography and protein correlation profiling to construct a complex network of interactome rearrangement in response to NF-κB modulation in breast cancer cells. Our interaction network represents a complex insight into the dynamics of MCF-7 protein interactome associated with NF-κB pathway. Our dataset could serve as a basis for future studies characterizing role of NF-κB in breast cancer cellular pathways. This PRIDE project includes results from SILAC labeled and label-free replicates from the SEC-PCP-SILAC analysis of protein complexes in MCF-7 cells with inhibited and uninhibited NF-κB pathway, results from the immunoprecipitation experiment aimed at interaction partners of NF-κB factor RELA, analysis of total proteome after NF-κB inhibition, and results from SEC fractionation of untreated and unlabeled MCF-7 cells.
