Project description:Abstract: Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs or PADIs) catalyze the conversion of positively charged arginine to neutral citrulline, which alters target protein structure and function. It is well established that a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) stimulates PAD2-catalyzed histone citrullination to epigenetically regulate gonadotropin gene expression in the gonadotrope derived LBT2 cell line. However, PADs are also found in the cytoplasm. Given this, we used mass spectrometry to identify additional non-histone proteins that are citrullinated following GnRHa stimulation and characterize the temporal dynamics of this modification. Our results show that actin and tubulin are rapidly citrullinated, which led us to hypothesize that GnRHa might induce their citrullination to modulate cytoskeletal dynamics and architecture. Data shows that 10 nM GnRHa induces citrullination of beta-actin with maximal levels occurring at 10 minutes. The level of beta-actin citrullination is reduced in the presence of the pan-PAD inhibitor bi-phenyl-benzimidazole-Cl-amidine (BB-ClA), which also prevents GnRHa induced actin reorganization in dispersed mouse gonadotrope cells. GnRHa induces citrullination of beta-tubulin with elevated levels occurring at 30 minutes; similarly to beta-actin, this response is attenuated in the presence of BB-ClA. To examine the functional consequence of beta-tubulin citrullination, we utilized fluorescently tagged end binding protein 1 (EB1-GFP) to track the growing plus end of microtubules (MT) in real time in transfected LBT2 cells. Time-lapse confocal microscopy of EB1-GFP reveals that MT average lifetime increases following 30 minutes of GnRHa treatment, but this increase is attenuated by PAD inhibition. Taken together, our data suggest that GnRHa induced citrullination alters actin reorganization and MT lifetime in gonadotrope cells.
