Project description:A constant communication between mitochondria and nucleus ensures cellular homeostasis and adaptation to mitochondrial stress. Anterograde regulatory pathways involving a large number of nuclear-encoded proteins control mitochondrial biogenesis and functions. Such functions are deregulated in cancer, resulting in proliferative advantages for cancer cells, aggressive disease and therapeutic resistance. Transcriptional networks controlling the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are known, however alternative splicing (AS) regulation has not been implicated in this communication. Here, we show that IQGAP1, a scaffold protein that regulates AS of distinct gene subsets in gastric cancer cells, participates in AS regulation that strongly affects mitochondrial respiration. Combined proteomic and RNA-seq analyses of IQGAP1KO and parental cells show that IQGAP1KO alters a specific AS event of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I (CI) subunit NDUFS4 and downregulates a subset of CI subunits. In IQGAP1KO cells, CI intermediates accumulate resembling assembly deficiencies observed in patients with Leigh syndrome bearing NDUFS4 mutations. Mitochondrial CI activity is significantly lower in KO compared to parental cells, while exogenous expression of IQGAP1 reverses mitochondrial defects of IQGAP1KO cells. Our work sheds light to a novel facet of IQGAP1 in mitochondrial quality control that involves fine-tuning of CI activity through AS regulation in gastric cancer.

Project description:Retrograde response was widely studied in budding yeast but the main transcription factors that transmit it (RTG1,2 and 3) are not conserved in other organisms, thus it is interesting to study how communication between mitochondria and nucleus evolved in distantly related fission yeast, and which are the common aspects of this conserved pathway between yeast and higher organisms.To analyse any retrograde response in fission yeast, we inhibited the electron transport chain activity by antimycin A and studied cellular gene expression changes by microarrays. Cells treated with antimycin A in fermentative medium (YE with 3% glucose), showed the same growth rate as untreated cells, but they reached a lower biomass in stationary phase. Antimycin A treated cells consumed glucose at a faster rate and produced more ethanol, indicating that the energy metabolism was shifted even more towards fermentation. We analyzed the transcriptomes of antimycin A-treated cells to untreated control cells during early exponential growth phase (OD 0.5).

Project description:As most of the mitochondrial proteome is encoded in the nucleus, mitochondrial functions critically depend on nuclear gene expression and bidirectional mito-nuclear communication. However, mitochondria-to-nucleus communication pathways are incompletely understood. Here, we identify G-Protein Pathway Suppressor 2 (GPS2) as a mediator of mitochondrial retrograde signaling and a key transcriptional activator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes in mammals. GPS2 regulated translocation from mitochondria to nucleus is essential for the transcriptional activation of the nuclear stress response to mitochondrial depolarization and for supporting basal mitochondrial biogenesis in differentiating adipocytes and in brown adipose tissue from mice. In the nucleus, GPS2 recruitment to target gene promoters regulates histone H3K9 demethylation and RNA Polymerase II (POL2) activation through inhibition of Ubc13-mediated ubiquitination. These findings, together, reveal an unexpected layer of regulation of mitochondrial gene transcription, uncover a novel direct mitochondria-nuclear communication pathway and indicate that GPS2 retrograde signaling is a key component of the mitochondrial stress response in mammals.
