DGAT1 phosphoproteome and long-term proteome

Project description:Enhanced fatty acid (FA) synthesis and uptake underpin the sustained membrane biogenesis and ATP production required for melanoma cell growth and division1-4. However, to thrive, melanoma cells must avoid a potential reduction in cell growth signalling, rampant reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and the build-up of toxic lipid species that can accompany excess free FA5. Here, we uncover and address the significance of frequent amplification and up-regulation of the Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) gene in melanoma, whose encoded product catalyses the final step of Triacyglyceride (TAG) synthesis. Consistent with the classification of DGAT1 as an oncogene, we found that forced DGAT1 expression in p53 mutant zebrafish melanocytes was sufficient to induce melanoma, and accelerated melanoma progression initiated by co-expression of oncogenic BRAF or NRAS. Regarding DGAT1 function in human melanoma cells, its depletion, or alternatively pharmacological inhibition, suppressed mTOR-S6K signalling and increased levels of acyl carnitine species— FA derivatives that are the limiting substrate for FA oxidation (FAO). In turn, increased FAO induced mitochondrial malfunction, ROS generation, and lipid peroxidation. However, the resultant oxidative stress induced NRF2 and SESTRIN2 (SESN2) expression, which limited the extent of cell death. Conversely, DGAT1 over-expression enhanced mTOR-S6K signalling and cell growth, and protected against ROS, particularly in hypoxic conditions. Together, our data establish DGAT1 as a bona fide oncogene essential in melanoma cells for enabling FA accumulation.

DGAT1 is a bona fide oncogene stimulating cell growth and suppressing oxidative stress while enabling fatty acid accumulation

Project description:Forced over-expression of dgat1a using the minicoopR system increased the rate of tumour formation in tp53m214K/m214k; mitfa-/-; nras G12D. This was through increased TOR signalling and alterations in key metabolic pathways.

Staphylococcus aureus bona fide sRNAs in the model strain HG003

Project description:Accurate annotation of regulatory RNAs is a complex task but nevertheless essential as sRNA molecular and functional studies ensue from it. Several formerly considered small RNAs (sRNA) are now known to be parts of UTR transcripts. In light of experimental data, we review hundreds of Staphylococcus aureus putative regulatory RNAs. We pinpoint those that are likely acting in trans and are not expressed from the opposite strand of a coding gene. We conclude that HG003, a NCTC8325 derivative strain, has about 50 bona fide sRNAs, indicating that these RNAs are less numerous than commonly stated.

BioE3 enables the identification of bona fide targets of E3 ligases

Project description:The post-translational modification of proteins by ubiquitination is a highly regulated process that involves a dynamic, three-step enzymatic cascade, where more than 600 E3 ligases play a critical role in recognizing specific substrates for modification. Separating bona fide targets of E3s from E3-interacting proteins remains a major challenge in the field. In this study, we present BioE3, a novel approach for identifying substrates of ubiquitin-like (UbL) E3 ligases of interest. Using BirA-E3 ligase fusion proteins and bioUbLs, the method facilitates site-specific biotinylation of UbL-modified substrates for proteomic identification. We demonstrate that the BioE3 system can identify both known and novel targets of two RING-type ubiquitin E3 ligases: RNF4, known to be involved in DNA damage response and the regulation of PML nuclear bodies, and MIB1, implicated in endocytosis, autophagy, and centrosomal protein homeostasis. We further show the versatility of BioE3 by identifying targets of an organelle-specific E3 (MARCH5) and a relatively uncharacterized E3 (RNF214). Furthermore, we show that BioE3 works with HECT-type E3 ligases and identify novel targets of NEDD4 involved in vesicular trafficking. BioE3 is a powerful tool that enables identification of bona fide substrates of UbL E3 ligases and how they change with chemical perturbations, which may be useful for the emerging applications in targeted protein degradation (TPD). BioE3 may also be applicable for UbLs beyond Ub and SUMO, as well as other E3 ligase classes. The resulting knowledge can shed light on the regulation of cellular processes by the complex UbL network, advancing our understanding of fundamental biological mechanisms.

Transcriptomic analysis unveils bona fide molecular signatures of microglia under conditions of homeostasis and viral encephalitis

Project description:Microglia provide a front-line defense against neuroinvasive viral infection, however, determination of their bona fide transcriptional profiles under conditions of health and disease is challenging. Here, we used a combination of experimental tools to delineate the overall transcriptional landscape of microglia during viral infection. By exploiting the ribosomal tagging approach, we developed the concept of enrichment of relevant marker genes by comparing immunoprecipitated RNA with total RNA. Enriched transcripts corresponding to genes expressed in target cells were instrumental in defining bona fide signatures of microglia. With this approach, we generated a comprehensive and accurate transcriptome of microglia at the in situ environment under conditions of health and virus infection. These unified microglial signatures may serve as a benchmark to retrospectively assess ex vivo artefacts from available atlases. Leveraging the microglial translatome, we found enrichment of genes implicated in T-cell activation and cytokine production during the course of VSV infection. These data linked microglia with T-cell re-stimulation and further underscored that microglia shape anti-viral T-cell responses in the brain. Collectively, this study faithfully defines the transcriptional landscape of microglia in steady state and during viral encephalitis and highlights cellular interactions between microglia and T cells that contribute to the control of virus dissemination.

Proteomic profiles of bona fide RNA-binding proteins across E. coli growth curve in M9LB media.

Project description:Dynamic interactions between RNA and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate a broad spectrum of bacterial functions. Here, we have characterised how the RBPome is dynamically rewired during the E. coli life cycle. We applied Orthogonal Organic Phase Separation (OOPS) coupled with an RNase digestion step to shortlist bona fide bacterial RBPs and assessed whether proteins bound RNA differentially express at different cell proliferation stages.
