Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a length-dependent peripheral neuropathy. The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute the largest protein family implicated in CMT. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are predominantly cytoplasmic, but are also present in the nucleus. Here we show that a nuclear function of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) is implicated in a Drosophila model of CMT. CMT-causing mutations in TyrRS induce unique conformational changes, which confer capacity for aberrant interactions with transcriptional regulators in the nucleus, leading to transcription factor E2F1 hyperactivation. Using neuronal tissues, we reveal a broad transcriptional regulation network associated with wild-type TyrRS expression, which is disturbed when a CMT-mutant is expressed. Pharmacological inhibition of TyrRS nuclear entry with embelin reduces, whereas genetic nuclear exclusion of mutant TyrRS prevents hallmark phenotypes of CMT in the Drosophila model. These data highlight that this translation factor may contribute to transcriptional regulation in neurons, and suggest a therapeutic target for CMT.

Project description:Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) are essential enzymes responsible for charging amino acids onto cognate tRNAs during protein synthesis¬. In histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HARS), autosomal dominant mutations in the HARS catalytic domain are associated with Charcot Marie Tooth Disease Type 2W (CMT2W), while anticodon-binding domain mutations cause Usher Syndrome Type IIIB (USH3B). We use yeast as a model system to study disease-causing HARS mutations (V133F, V155G, Y330C, S356N) associated with CMT2W, and Y454S, associated with USH3B. All human HARS variants complemented genomic deletion of the yeast ortholog HTS1 at high expression levels. CMT2W associated mutations, but not Y454S, result in reduced growth. HARS V155G and S356N cause accumulation of insoluble proteins and mistranslation in yeast, and the growth defect of these mutants was rescued by histidine addition to the growth media, restoring the soluble proteome. V133F and Y330C, on the other hand, lead to decreased HARS abundance. Histidine supplementation further reduced viability in yeast expressing V133F and Y330C, and lead to insoluble protein accumulation, indicating histidine toxicity associated with these mutants. Because histidine is in clinical trials as treatment for USH3B, our data will inform future treatment options for these as well as CMT patients, where histidine supplementation may either have a toxic or compensating effect dependingon the nature of the causative HARS variant.

Project description:Heterozygous mutations in six tRNA synthetase genes cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) peripheral neuropathy. CMT-mutant glycyl- or tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases inhibit global protein synthesis by an unknown mechanism, independent of aminoacylation activity. We report that tRNAGly overexpression rescues protein synthesis and peripheral neuropathy phenotypes in Drosophila and mouse models of CMT caused by glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GlyRS) mutations (CMT2D). Kinetic experiments revealed that CMT-mutant GlyRS bind tRNAGly, but display markedly slow release rates. This tRNAGly sequestration may deplete the cellular tRNAGly pool, leading to insufficient glycyl-tRNAGly supply to the ribosome and translation deficit.

Project description:Introduction Aminoacyl tRNA-synthetases are ubiquitously expressed enzymes that attach amino acids to their cognate tRNA molecule. Mutations in several of the aminoacyl tRNA-syntheases are described to cause peripheral neuropathy, i.e. AARS1, GARS1, HARS1, YARS1 and WARS1. The Alanyl-tRNA Synthetase (AARS) is encoded by the AARS1. Bi-allelic mutations have been described responsible for epileptic encephalopathy with persistent myelination defect, while mutation in a single allele cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2). Do date it is uncertain how a single AARS1 mutation cause tissue specific neuropathy. Methods The AARS1 was sequenced by next-generation sequencing in probands. Family members were examined by Sanger sequencing. Blood samples from affected and healthy controls were used for quantitative RNA analysis, biochemical analysis of alanine, and proteomics. Results Three Norwegian CMT2 families carried the same novel heterozygous AARS1 variant (NM_001605.2:c.976C>T p.(Arg326Trp)). The three families consisted of in total 17 genetically examined family members, of which 11 individuals carried the AARS1 variant and six unaffected individuals did not carry the variant. All individuals carrying the AARS1 variant presented with a mild to moderately severe CMT2 phenotype with adult onset, except a man age 91 years (reported by his son). Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of four affected individuals pointed towards an effect on the immune system, comprising proteins known to represent components of systemic response to chronic injury and inflammation. Interestingly, a wide-spread impact on mitochondrial dysfunction was identified. Specifically, the oxidative phosphorylation complexes I, IV and V were highly downregulated. Conclusion Three Norwegian CMT2 families with an AARS1 variant, suggests mitochondrial dysfunction in AARS1 neuropathy.

Project description:Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease can be caused by mutations in Aminoacyl-tRNA-Synthetases, including G240R mutation in Glycyl-tRNA-Synthetase (GARS). Ribo-seq generates snapshots of translating ribosomes on mRNA and therefore allows analysis of ribosome pausing mRNA. Here we performed Ribo-seq on lysates of HEK293T cells overexpressing GARS, WT or G240R, to dissect mechanism of CMT linked with translation. We found that GARS G240R causes pausing of ribosomes with glycine codons in A-site. The effect is specific for 21 nt ribosome-protected fragments, produced by ribosomes with empty A-sites, suggestive of the deficit of charged Glycyl-tRNA in GARS G240R-CMT.

Project description:We have generated mouse models of real CMT1B mutations in the gene encoding for myelin protein zero (P0). One of these mutants, P0S63del is retained in the ER where it elicits an unfolded protein response (UPR). Genetic ablation of the UPR factor CHOP restores the motor capacity in S63del mice. We used microarray to decipher the molecular mechanism undelying the P0S63del neuropathy and the rescue in S63del/Chop null nerves. Sciatic nerves were dissected from WT, S63del, Chop null and S63del/Chop null mice at three different time points: (i) postnatal day 5 (P5) when myelination has just started and only the primary effects of the presence of the mutant protein should be detected; (ii) P28, around the peak of myelination, when all the downstream targets of CHOP should be activated; and (iii) 4 months, to check for secondary effects of the disease and because this was the time-point when the motor and morphological rescue due to the ablation of CHOP were clearly detectable.
