Project description:Kinesins are a superfamily of molecular motors that undertake ATP-dependent microtubule-based movement or regulate microtubule dynamics. Plasmodium species, which cause malaria and kill hundreds of thousands annually, encode ~9 kinesins in their genomes. Of these, two – kinesin-8B and kinesin-8X - are canonically classified as kinesin-8s, which in other eukaryotes typically modulate microtubule dynamics. Unexpectedly, Plasmodium kinesin-8B is required for development of the flagellated male gamete in the mosquito host, and its absence completely blocks parasite transmission. To understand the molecular basis of kinesin-8B’s essential role, we characterised the in vitro properties of the kinesin-8B motor domains from P. berghei and P. falciparum. Both motors drive plus-end directed ATP-dependent microtubule gliding, but also catalyse ATP-dependent microtubule depolymerisation. We determined the microtubule-bound structures of these motors using cryo-electron microscopy. P. berghei and P. falciparum kinesin-8B exhibit a very similar mode of microtubule interaction, in which Plasmodium-distinct sequences at the microtubule-kinesin interface influence motor function. Intriguingly, however, P. berghei kinesin-8B exhibits a non-canonical structural response to ATP analogue binding such that neck linker docking is not induced. Nevertheless, the neck linker region is absolutely required for motility and depolymerisation activities of these motors. Taken together, these data suggest that the mechanochemistry of Plasmodium kinesin-8Bs has been functionally tuned to efficiently contribute to flagella formation.

Project description:We focused on the iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic characterization of rodent parasite Plasmodium berghei mutants with disrupted kinesin-8B gene compared to wild type within the gamete differentiation. Time-course analyses were performed 7 and 15 min after gametogenesis induction (Time 0).

Project description:Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a beta coronavirus that emerged in 2012, causing severe pneumonia and renal failure. MERS-CoV encodes five accessory proteins. Some of them have been shown to interfere with host antiviral immune response. However, the roles of protein 8b in innate immunity and viral virulence was rarely studied. Here, we introduced individual MERS-CoV accessory protein genes into the genome of an attenuated murine coronavirus (Mouse hepatitis virus, MHV), respectively and found accessory protein 8b could enhance viral replication in vivo and in vitro, and increase the lethality of infected mice. RNA-seq analysis revealed that protein 8b could significantly inhibit type I interferon production (IFN-I) and innate immune response in mice infected with MHV expressing protein 8b. We also found that MERS-CoV protein 8b could initiate from multiple internal methionine sites and at least three protein variants were identified. Residues 1-23 of protein 8b was demonstrated to be responsible for increased virulence in vivo. In addition, the inhibitory effect on IFN-I of protein 8b might not contribute to its virulence enhancement as aa1-23 deletion did not affect IFN-I production in vitro and in vivo. Next, we also found that protein 8b was localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi membrane in infected cells, which was disrupted by C-terminal region aa 88-112 deletion. This study will provide new insight into the pathogenesis of MERS-CoV infection.

Project description:Resistance to inhibitors of cholinesterases (Ric-8 proteins) are involved in modulating G-protein function but little is known of their potential physiological importance in the heart. In the present study, we assessed the role of resistance to inhibitors of cholinesterase 8b (Ric-8b) in determining cardiac contractile function using a mouse model. Deletion of Ric-8b in cardiac tissue led to severely reduced contractility as measured using echocardiography days after administration of tamoxifen. Histological analysis of the ventricular tissue showed highly variable myocyte size, prominent fibrosis and an increase in cellular apoptosis. RNA sequencing revealed transcriptional remodelling in response to cardiac Ric-8b deletion involving the extracellular matrix and inflammation. Phosphoproteomic analysis revealed substantial downregulation of phosphopeptides related to myosin light chain 2. At the cellular level, the deletion of Ric-8b led to loss of activation of the L-type calcium channel through the β-adrenergic pathways. Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based assays in heterologous expression systems we showed Ric-8b protein selectively interacts with the stimulatory G-protein, Gαs. We explored if deletion of Gnas (the gene encoding Gαs) in cardiac tissue using a similar approach in the mouse led to an equivalent phenotype. The conditional deletion of the Gαs gene in the ventricle led to comparable effects on contractile function and cardiac histology. We conclude that Ric-8b is essential to preserve cardiac contractile function likely through an interaction with the stimulatory G-protein and downstream phosphorylation of myosin light chain 2.

Project description:Analysis of recombinant mouse Ric-8B protein phosphorylation. Ric-8B was purified from insect cells and E.coli and both treated with protein kinase CK2 and re-purified prior to LC-MS/MS. Another Ric-8B sample from insect cells was not treated with CK2 and also subjected to LC-MS/MS.

Project description:We identified gene expression signatures predicting responsiveness to a Kinesin-5 (kinesin spindle protein, KIF11) inhibitor (Kinesin-5i) in cultured colon tumor cell lines. Genes predicting resistance to Kinesin-5i were enriched for those from chromosome 20q, a region of frequent amplification in a number of tumor types. siRNAs targeting genes in this chromosomal region identified AURKA, TPX2 and MYBL2 as genes whose disruption enhances response to Kinesin-5i. Taken together, our results show functional interaction between these genes, and suggest that overexpression of AURKA, TPX2 and MYBL2 is functionally involved in resistance to Kinesin-5i. Furthermore, our results suggest that patients whose tumors overexpress AURKA due to amplifications of 20q will be more likely to resist treatment with Kinesin-5 inhibitor, and that inactivation of AURKA may sensitize these patients to treatment.

Project description:Purpose: Breast cancer is a genetically heterogenous disease with subtypes differing in prognosis and chemosensitivity. The basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) molecular subtype is associated with poorer outcomes, but is more responsive to taxane-based chemotherapy. We evaluated the role of kinesins, motor proteins interacting with microtubules, in influencing taxane resistance. Experimental Design: Kinesin (KIF) expression was studied in one local dataset comprising all taxane resistant breast cancers in relation to taxane resistance. Data in the NCI-60 cell line dataset (GSE5846) nd the MDACC dataset (GSE20194) is separately detailed. Results: In the local dataset, the kinesin KIF26B is overexpressed in taxane-resistant residual breast cancers post-chemotherapy. Conclusions: We show that kinesin overexpression correlates with taxane resistance in BLBC cell lines and tissue. Our results suggest a potential approach to overcoming taxane resistance through concurrent or sequential use of kinesin inhibitors, highlighting the ATP-binding domain as a drug development target. Kinesin (KIF) expression was studied in one local dataset comprising all taxane resistant breast cancers in relation to taxane resistance. Data in the NCI-60 cell line dataset (GSE5846) and the MDACC dataset (GSE20194) is separately detailed.
