Project description:The upstream stimulating factors (USFs) USF1 and USF2 are ubiquitously expressed transcription factors characterized by a conserved basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper DNA-binding domain. They form homo- or heterodimers and recognize E-box motifs to modulate gene expression. They are known to regulate diverse cellular functions including the cell cycle, immune response and glucose-lipid metabolism, but their roles in neuronal cells remain to be clarified. Here, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation of USF1 from mouse brain cortex preparations. Subsequent promoter array analysis (ChIP-chip) indicated that USF1 exclusively bound to the CACGTG E-box motifs in the proximal promoter regions. Importantly, functional annotation of the USF1-binding targets revealed an enrichment of genes related to lysosomal functions. Gene expression arrays using a neuronal cell line subsequently revealed that knockdown of USFs deregulated lysosomal gene expression. Altered expression was validated by quantitative RT-PCR, supporting the conclusion that USFs regulate lysosomal gene expression. Furthermore, USFs knockdown slightly increased LysoTracker staining, implying a role for USFs in modulating lysosomal homeostasis. Together, our comprehensive, genome-scale analyses identified lysosomal genes as targets of USFs in neuronal cells, suggesting a potential additional pathway of lysosomal regulation. ChIP-chip analysis of USF1 and NF-Y in mouse brain cortex. To identify downstream targets of USF1 and NF-Y in neuronal cells, they were chromatin-immunoprecipitated from mouse brain cortical lysates. The obtained chromatin DNAs were labeled with biotin and hybridized on Affymetrix Mouse Promoter 1.0R Array.

Gene expression profiling of neuro2a cells knocking down USFs. To screen USFs-downstream genes, mouse neuro2a cells were transfected with vectors for USFs miR RNAi or an empty vector, and then subjected to microarray analysis using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Project description:Protein AMPylation is a prevalent posttranslational modification with an emerging role in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. Although in metazoans the two highly conserved protein AMP-transferases together with diverse group of AMPylated proteins have been identified using chemical proteomics and biochemical techniques the function of this modification remains largely unknown. Particularly problematic is a localisation of thus far identified AMPylated proteins and putative AMP-transferases. Here, we uncover protein AMPylation as a novel lysosomal protein posttranslational modification characteristic for differentiating neurons. The AMPylated soluble form of exonuclease PLD3 localised in lysosomes shows dramatic increase during the differentiation of neuronal cell lineages. Similar AMPylation pattern has been observed for a lysosomal acid phosphatase ACP2. Our discovery was enabled by combination of chemical proteomics and novel gel-based separation technique of modified and non-modified proteins. Together, our findings expose further the connection between the protein AMPylation and neurodevelopment and reveal a novel lysosomal posttranslational modification.

Project description:Lysosomal cathepsins regulate an exquisite range of biological functions, and their deregulation is associated with inflammatory, metabolic and degenerative disease in humans. Here, we identified a key cell-intrinsic role for cathepsin B as a negative feedback regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. Mice and macrophages lacking cathepsin B activity had increased resistance to the cytosolic bacterial pathogen Francisella novicida. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of cathepsin B downregulated mTOR activity and prevented cleavage of the lysosomal calcium channel TRPML1. These events drove transcription of lysosomal and autophagy genes via the transcription factor TFEB, which increased lysosomal biogenesis and activation of autophagy-initiation kinase ULK1 for clearance of the bacteria. Our results identified a fundamental biological function of cathepsin B in providing a checkpoint for homeostatic maintenance of lysosome population and basic recycling functions in the cell. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) isolated from cathepsin B-/- and wild-type mice.
