Project description:Activating transcription factor 6 alpha (ATF6⍺) is one of the three endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane stress sensors that mediate the unfolded protein response (UPR). Despite its significant involvement in long-term ER stress adaption, regulation of ATF6⍺ signalling is still poorly understood, possibly because its activation involves Golgi and nucleus trafficking. Here, we have generated a dual CHO-K1 ATF6⍺/IRE1⍺ reporter cell line to perform an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis screen, in the presence and absence of ER stress, to systematically profile genetic factors that specifically contribute to ATF6⍺ signalling. Anticipated and new candidate genes that regulate ATF6⍺ activation were discovered. Among these, calreticulin (CRT), a key ER luminal chaperone, emerged as a selective repressor molecule of ATF6⍺ signalling. Cells lacking CRT constitutively activated a BiP::sfGFP ATF6⍺-dependent reporter, had higher BiP levels and an increased rate of trafficking and processing of ATF6⍺. Purified CRT interacts with the luminal domain of ATF6⍺ in vitro and the two proteins co-immunoprecipitated from cell lysates. CRT depletion exposed a negative feedback loop implicating ATF6⍺ in repressing IRE1⍺ activity basally and overexpression of CRT reversed phenotype. Our data indicate that CRT, in addition to its known role as a chaperone, also serves as an ER repressor of ATF6⍺ to maintain selective regulation of the UPR.

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis through the activation of transcription factors such as XBP1s and ATF6. The functional consequences of these transcription factors for ER proteostasis remain poorly defined. Here, we describe methodology that enables orthogonal, small molecule-mediated activation of the UPR-associated transcription factors XBP1s and/or ATF6 in the same cell independent of stress. We employ transcriptomics and quantitative proteomics to evaluate ER proteostasis network remodeling owing to the XBP1s and/or ATF6 transcriptional programs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the three ER proteostasis environments accessible by activating XBP1s and/or ATF6 differentially influence the folding, trafficking, and degradation of destabilized ER client proteins without globally affecting the endogenous proteome. Our data reveal how the ER proteostasis network is remodeled by the XBP1s and/or ATF6 transcriptional programs at the molecular level and demonstrate the potential for selectively restoring aberrant ER proteostasis of pathologic, destabilized proteins through arm-selective UPR-activation. The unfolded protein response adapts endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis via stress-responsive transcription factors including XBP1s and ATF6. Here, R. Luke Wiseman and colleagues implement technology for the orthogonal, ligand-dependent activation of XBP1s and/or ATF6 in a single cell. They characterize how XBP1s and/or ATF6 activation impacts ER proteostasis pathway composition and function. Adapted ER environments influence the proteostasis of destabilized protein variants without affecting the endogenous proteome. The work informs the development of proteostasis environment-adapting therapeutics for protein misfolding-related diseases. In order to activate both XBP1s and ATF6 in the same cell, we incorporated DHFR.ATF6 and tet-inducible XBP1s into a HEK293T-REx cell line stably expressing the tet-repressor. The HEK293DYG control cell line expresses tet-inducible eGFP and DHFR.YFP and is used as a control to demonstrate that the addition of doxycycline (dox) and trimethoprim (TMP) do not induce UPR genes. HEK293DYG cells were treated for 12 h with vehicle or 1 μg/mL dox and 10 μM TMP in biological triplicate. Cells were harvested and RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). Genomic DNA was removed by on-column digestion using the RNase-free DNase Set (Qiagen). Data from HEK293DYG cells showed no significant overlap in the ligand-treated transcriptomes obtained from HEK293DAX cells.

Project description:The objective was to evaluate the status of the global hepatic transcriptome in the presence of inhibited calreticulin levels. Results identify a total of 324 genes were altered of which 245 genes were downregulated and 79 genes were upregulated. This suggests that such altered genes might be associated with altered hepatic physiology that are observed during calreticulin deficiency. Total RNA was isolated from HepG2 cells subjected to calreticulin (CRT) siRNA for 24 hours compared to control HepG2 cells subjected to scramble siRNA for 24 hours. This was then hybridized to Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip arrays.

Project description:ATF6 encodes a transcription factor that is activated during the Unfolded Protein Response to protect cells from ER stress. Loss of ATF6α and its paralog ATF6β, results in embryonic lethality, notochord dysgenesis, and in people, loss of ATF6α specifically, results in malformed neuroretina and congenital vision loss. These phenotypes implicate an essential role for ATF6 during vertebrate development. We investigated the function of ATF6 in development using human stem cells undergoing differentiation into multipotent germ layers, nascent tissues, and organs. We artificially activated ATF6 in stem cells with a recently identified small molecule ATF6 agonist, and we inhibited ATF6 using iPSCs from patients harboring ATF6 mutations. We discovered that ATF6 suppresses pluripotency, enhances differentiation, and surprisingly, guides stem cells toward mesodermal cell fates. Our findings reveal a novel role for ATF6 during differentiation and identify a new strategy to robustly create mesodermal tissues through modulation of the ATF6 arm of the UPR.

Project description:Achromatopsia (ACHM) is an autosomal recessive disease that results in severe visual loss. Symptoms of ACHM include impaired visual acuity, nystagmus, and photoaversion starting from infancy; furthermore, ACHM is associated with bilateral foveal hypoplasia and absent or severely reduced cone photoreceptor function on electroretinography. Here, we performed genetic sequencing in 3 patients from 2 families with ACHM, identifying and functionally characterizing 2 mutations in the activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) gene. We identified a homozygous deletion covering exons 8–14 of the ATF6 gene from 2 siblings from the same family. In another patient from a different family, we identified a heterozygous deletion covering exons 2 and 3 of the ATF6 gene found in trans with a previously identified ATF6 c.970C>T (p.Arg324Cys) ACHM disease allele. Recombinant ATF6 proteins bearing these exon deletions showed markedly impaired transcriptional activity by qPCR and RNA-Seq analysis compared with WT-ATF6. Finally, RNAscope revealed that ATF6 and the related ATF6B transcripts were expressed in cones as well as in all retinal layers in normal human retina. Overall, our data identify loss-of-function ATF6 disease alleles that cause human foveal disease.
