Project description:The densely packed centromeric heterochromatin at minor and major satellites is comprised of H3K9me2/3 histones, the heterochromatin protein HP1α and histone variants. In the present study we sought to determine the mechanisms by which condensed heterochromatin at major and minor satellites stabilized by the chromatin factor CFDP1 affects the activity of the small GTPase Ran as a requirement for spindle formation. CFDP1 co-localized with heterochromatin at major and minor satellites and was essential for the structural stability of centromeric heterochromatin. Loss of CENPA, HP1α and H2A.Z heterochromatin components resulted in decreased binding of the spindle nucleation facilitator RCC1 to minor and major satellite repeats. Decreased RanGTP levels as a result of diminished RCC1 binding interfered with chromatin-mediated microtubule nucleation at the onset of mitotic spindle formation. Rescuing chromatin H2A.Z levels in cells and mice lacking CFDP1 through knock-down of the histone chaperone ANP32E not only partially restored RCC1 dependent RanGTP levels but also alleviated CFDP1-knockout related craniofacial defects and increased microtubule nucleation in CFDP1/ANP32E co-silenced cells. Together, these studies provide evidence for a direct link between condensed heterochromatin at major and minor satellites and microtubule nucleation through the chromatin protein CFDP1.

Project description:RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play a critical role in tumor progression by participating in the post-transcriptional regulation of RNA. However, the expression and function of RBPs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain elusive. This study identified 5 RBPs (RAN, EZH2, RDM1, HRSP12, and ALYREF) that were up-regulated in NPC and could promote NPC cells migration or proliferation. RAN was first investigated because of its most significant effect on NPC cells. Functionally, RAN facilitated NPC proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and in vivo. High expression of RAN was associated with poor prognosis of NPC patients and could be performed as a prognostic biomarker. Mechanistically, RAN mediated the nucleus import of TDP43 and enhanced TDP43 nuclear distribution. On the other hand, RAN was directly bound to the coding sequence of G3BP1 mRNA and served as an adapter to facilitate TDP43 interacting with G3BP1 mRNA 3’untranslated region. Thereby increased G3BP1 mRNA stability in the nucleus and led to up-regulation of G3BP1, which further enhanced ATK/ERK phosphorylation and ultimately promoted NPC proliferation and metastasis.

Project description:Comparing transcriptome of the leaves of Ran-GDP and Ran-GTP overexpression transgenic plants before and after dark incubation, we discovered 851 differentially expressed genes that designated as Ran-regulated genes. The RNA-seq result confirmed the early senescence phenotype of Ran-GTP overexpression plants and the up-regulation of several signaling pathways, implied their positive roles in Ran-regulated senescence and suggest potential downstream targets of Ran. This study provided a mechanism that senescence process could be regulated by nuclear transportation machinery in Arabidopsis.

Project description:During mitotic exit, thousands of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) assemble concomitant with the nuclear envelope to build a transport-competent nucleus. Here, we show that Nup50 plays a crucial role in NPC assembly independent of its well-established function in nuclear transport. RNAi-mediated downregulation in cells or immunodepletion of Nup50 protein in Xenopus egg extracts interferes with NPC assembly. We define a conserved central region of 46 residues in Nup50 that is crucial for Nup153 and MEL28/ELYS binding, and for NPC interaction. Surprisingly, neither NPC interaction nor binding of Nup50 to importin /, the GTPase Ran, or chromatin is crucial for its function in the assembly process. Instead, an N-terminal fragment of Nup50 can stimulate the Ran GTPase guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor RCC1 and NPC assembly, indicating that Nup50 acts via the Ran system in NPC reformation at the end of mitosis. In support of this conclusion, Nup50 mutants defective in RCC1 binding and stimulation cannot replace the wild-type protein in in vitro NPC assembly assays, while excess RCC1 can compensate the loss of Nup50.

Project description:Pericentric heterochromatin silencing at mammalian centromeres is essential for mitotic fidelity and genomic stability. Defective pericentric silencing is observed in senescent cells, aging tissues, and mammalian tumors, but the underlying mechanisms and functional consequences of these defects are unclear. Here, we uncover a pivotal role of the human SIRT6 enzyme in pericentric transcriptional silencing, and this function protects against mitotic defects, genomic instability, and cellular senescence. At pericentric heterochromatin, SIRT6 promotes deacetylation of a new substrate, histone H3 lysine K18 (H3K18), and inactivation of SIRT6 in cells leads to H3K18 hyperacetylation and aberrant accumulation of pericentric transcripts. Strikingly, RNAi-depletion of these transcripts rescues the mitotic and senescence phenotypes of SIRT6-deficient cells. Together, our findings reveal a new function for SIRT6 and H3K18Ac regulation at heterochromatin, and demonstrate the pathogenic role of de-regulated pericentric transcription in aging- and cancer- related cellular dysfunction.

Project description:Identification of repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation in trinucleotide (CAG) repeat diseases leads to an emerging concept that CAG repeat diseases are caused by non-polyglutamine products. Nonetheless, the exact contribution of RAN translation to the pathogenesis of CAG repeat diseases remains elusive. Via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, we established new knock-in mouse models that harbor expanded CAG repeats in the mouse huntingtin gene, which express RAN translated products or polyglutamine products respectively. Here we report that RAN translation is not detected in the knock-in mouse models, and that only the expanded polyglutamine products can cause neuropathology and behavioral phenotypes. Therefore, polyglutamine products, rather than RAN translated products, play a major role in the pathogenesis of CAG repeat diseases.

Project description:Ran, a member of the Ras-GTPase superfamily, has a well-established role in regulating the transport of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope (NE). Ran has also been implicated in mitosis, cell cycle progression, and NE formation. Over-expression of Ran is associated with various cancers, although the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon is unclear. Serendipitously, we found that Ran possesses the ability to move from cell-to-cell when transiently expressed in mammalian cells. Moreover, we show that the inter-cellular transport of Ran is GTP-dependent. Importantly, Ran displays a similar distribution pattern in the recipient cells as that in the donor cell and co-localizes with the Ran binding protein Nup358 (also called RanBP2). Interestingly, leptomycin B, an inhibitor of CRM1-mediated export, or siRNA mediated depletion of CRM1, significantly impaired the inter-cellular transport of Ran, suggesting a function for CRM1 in this process. These novel findings indicate a possible role for Ran beyond nucleo-cytoplasmic transport, with potential implications in inter-cellular communication and cancers.
