Abstract
Dynamic interactions between transcription factors govern changes in gene expression that mediate changes in cell state accompanying injury response and regeneration. Transcription factors frequently function as obligate dimers whose activity is often modulated by post-translational modifications. These critical and often transient interactions are not easily detected by traditional methods to investigate protein-protein interactions. This chapter discusses the design and validation of a fusion protein involving a transcription factor tethered to a proximity labeling ligase, APEX2. In this technique, proteins are biotinylated within a small radius of the transcription factor of interest, regardless of time of interaction. Here we discuss the validations required to ensure proper functioning of the transcription factor proximity labeling tool and the sample preparation of biotinylated proteins for mass spectrometry analysis of putative protein interactors.

The RNF214-TEAD-YAP signaling axis promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression via TEAD ubiquitylation. Nat Commun 2024; 15:4995. [PMID: 38862474 PMCID: PMC11167002 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-49045-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
RNF214 is an understudied ubiquitin ligase with little knowledge of its biological functions or protein substrates. Here we show that the TEAD transcription factors in the Hippo pathway are substrates of RNF214. RNF214 induces non-proteolytic ubiquitylation at a conserved lysine residue of TEADs, enhances interactions between TEADs and YAP, and promotes transactivation of the downstream genes of the Hippo signaling. Moreover, YAP and TAZ could bind polyubiquitin chains, implying the underlying mechanisms by which RNF214 regulates the Hippo pathway. Furthermore, RNF214 is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and inversely correlates with differentiation status and patient survival. Consistently, RNF214 promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and HCC tumorigenesis in mice. Collectively, our data reveal RNF214 as a critical component in the Hippo pathway by forming a signaling axis of RNF214-TEAD-YAP and suggest that RNF214 is an oncogene of HCC and could be a potential drug target of HCC therapy.

Abstract
GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9orf72 causes frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Expanded GGGGCC repeat RNA accumulates within RNA foci and is translated into toxic dipeptide repeat proteins; thus, efficient repeat RNA degradation may alleviate diseases. hnRNPA3, one of the repeat RNA-binding proteins, has been implicated in the destabilization of repeat RNA. Using APEX2-mediated proximity biotinylation, here, we demonstrate PABPC1, a cytoplasmic poly (A)-binding protein, interacts with hnRNPA3. Knockdown of PABPC1 increased the accumulation of repeat RNA and RNA foci to the same extent as the knockdown of hnRNPA3. Proximity ligation assays indicated PABPC1-hnRNPA3 and PABPC1-RNA exosomes, a complex that degrades repeat RNA, preferentially co-localized when repeat RNA was present. Our results suggest that PABPC1 functions as a mediator of polyadenylated GGGGCC repeat RNA degradation through interactions with hnRNPA3 and RNA exosome complex.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (mtSNPs) have been associated with a reduced risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD), yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we investigate the functional role of a PD-associated mtSNP that impacts the mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) Small Humanin-like Peptide 2 (SHLP2). We identify m.2158 T > C, a mtSNP associated with reduced PD risk, within the small open reading frame encoding SHLP2. This mtSNP results in an alternative form of SHLP2 (lysine 4 replaced with arginine; K4R). Using targeted mass spectrometry, we detect specific tryptic fragments of SHLP2 in neuronal cells and demonstrate its binding to mitochondrial complex 1. Notably, we observe that the K4R variant, associated with reduced PD risk, exhibits increased stability compared to WT SHLP2. Additionally, both WT and K4R SHLP2 show enhanced protection against mitochondrial dysfunction in in vitro experiments and confer protection against a PD-inducing toxin, a mitochondrial complex 1 inhibitor, in a mouse model. This study sheds light on the functional consequences of the m.2158 T > C mtSNP on SHLP2 and provides insights into the potential mechanisms by which this mtSNP may reduce the risk of PD.

Abstract
Heart development is a spatiotemporally regulated process that extends from the embryonic phase to postnatal stages. Disruption of this highly orchestrated process can lead to congenital heart disease or predispose the heart to cardiomyopathy or heart failure. Consequently, gaining an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing cardiac development holds considerable promise for the development of innovative therapies for various cardiac ailments. While significant progress in uncovering novel transcriptional and epigenetic regulators of heart development has been made, the exploration of post-translational mechanisms that influence this process has lagged. Culling-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs), the largest family of ubiquitin ligases, control the ubiquitination and degradation of ~20% of intracellular proteins. Emerging evidence has uncovered the critical roles of CRLs in the regulation of a wide range of cellular, physiological, and pathological processes. In this review, we summarize current findings on the versatile regulation of cardiac morphogenesis and maturation by CRLs and present future perspectives to advance our comprehensive understanding of how CRLs govern cardiac developmental processes.

Abstract
Unraveling interacting partners of protein tyrosine (Tyr) phosphatases is considered a key aspect in resolving the regulation of signaling cascades either in a pathological or in developmental context. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based protein identification has emerged as the major approach in this arena, complemented by the development of novel biochemical methodologies for sample preparation. In this chapter, we highlight two methods that, combined with mass spectrometry, may help the investigator create an interactome map for the phosphatase of interest within a specific biological context.

Abstract
The four-subunit negative elongation factor (NELF) complex mediates RNA polymerase II (Pol II) pausing at promoter-proximal regions. Ablation of individual NELF subunits destabilizes the NELF complex and causes cell lethality, leading to the prevailing concept that NELF-mediated Pol II pausing is essential for cell proliferation. Using separation-of-function mutations, we show here that NELFB function in cell proliferation can be uncoupled from that in Pol II pausing. NELFB mutants sequestered in the cytoplasm and deprived of NELF nuclear function still support cell proliferation and part of the NELFB-dependent transcriptome. Mechanistically, cytoplasmic NELFB physically and functionally interacts with prosurvival signaling kinases, most notably phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT. Ectopic expression of membrane-tethered phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT partially bypasses the role of NELFB in cell proliferation, but not Pol II occupancy. Together, these data expand the current understanding of the physiological impact of Pol II pausing and underscore the multiplicity of the biological functions of individual NELF subunits.

Abstract
In Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), the VESICLE-INDUCING PROTEIN IN PLASTIDS 1 and 2 (VIPP1 and VIPP2) play roles in the sensing and coping with membrane stress and in thylakoid membrane biogenesis. To gain more insight into these processes, we aimed to identify proteins interacting with VIPP1/2 in the chloroplast and chose proximity labeling (PL) for this purpose. We used the transient interaction between the nucleotide exchange factor CHLOROPLAST GRPE HOMOLOG 1 (CGE1) and the stromal HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 70B (HSP70B) as test system. While PL with APEX2 and BioID proved to be inefficient, TurboID resulted in substantial biotinylation in vivo. TurboID-mediated PL with VIPP1/2 as baits under ambient and H2O2 stress conditions confirmed known interactions of VIPP1 with VIPP2, HSP70B, and the CHLOROPLAST DNAJ HOMOLOG 2 (CDJ2). Proteins identified in the VIPP1/2 proxiomes can be grouped into proteins involved in the biogenesis of thylakoid membrane complexes and the regulation of photosynthetic electron transport, including PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5-LIKE 1 (PGRL1). A third group comprises 11 proteins of unknown function whose genes are upregulated under chloroplast stress conditions. We named them VIPP PROXIMITY LABELING (VPL). In reciprocal experiments, we confirmed VIPP1 in the proxiomes of VPL2 and PGRL1. Our results demonstrate the robustness of TurboID-mediated PL for studying protein interaction networks in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas and pave the way for analyzing functions of VIPPs in thylakoid biogenesis and stress responses.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer with poor prognosis. FMS-like tyrosine kinase receptor-3 (FLT3) is one of the major oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases aberrantly activated in AML. Although protein tyrosine phosphatase PRL2 is highly expressed in some subtypes of AML compared with normal human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, the mechanisms by which PRL2 promotes leukemogenesis are largely unknown. We discovered that genetic and pharmacological inhibition of PRL2 significantly reduce the burden of FLT3-internal tandem duplications-driven leukemia and extend the survival of leukemic mice. Furthermore, we found that PRL2 enhances oncogenic FLT3 signaling in leukemia cells, promoting their proliferation and survival. Mechanistically, PRL2 dephosphorylates the E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL at tyrosine 371 and attenuates CBL-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of FLT3, leading to enhanced FLT3 signaling in leukemia cells. Thus, our study reveals that PRL2 enhances oncogenic FLT3 signaling in leukemia cells through dephosphorylation of CBL and will likely establish PRL2 as a novel druggable target for AML.

Abstract
Caspase-8, a caspase protein, is involved in the regulation of multiple cell death modes and has a predominant role in cell death. Cancer-associated mutations in the protein-coding region of caspase-8 have been widely reported in several solid tumors and might lead to the loss of its apoptotic function and contribute to the pathogenesis of tumors. However, the specific function and molecular mechanisms of mutant caspase-8 in the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain unknown. Here, we identified caspase-8 mutants exert tumor-promoting properties in ESCC, patients with the mutants presented a worse prognosis, and caspase-8 mutants lost the suppressive effect on tumor growth in ESCC cells. In addition, we demonstrated that caspase-8 mutants gain a new function of abolishing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) to maintain ESCC cell growth under oxidative stress. An Nrf2 inhibitor reduced the effects of caspase-8 mutants against oxidative stress. Caspase-8 mutants combined with mTOR to phosphorylate SQSTM1 at Ser349, facilitating the interaction of SQSTM1 and Keap1 and reducing the degradation of the Nrf2 protein. Therefore, our study demonstrated that caspase-8 mutants gain a new function of protecting against oxidative stress via the mTOR/SQSTM1/Keap1/Nrf2 axis in ESCC. Caspase-8 status may be a new prognostic factor for survival in ESCC patients.

Abstract
Biotin ligases have been developed as proximity biotinylation enzymes for analyses of the interactome. However, there has been no report on the application of proximity labeling for in-resin correlative light-electron microscopy of Epon-embedded cells. In this study, we established a proximity-labeled in-resin CLEM of Epon-embedded cells using miniTurbo, a biotin ligase. Biotinylation by miniTurbo was observed in cells within 10 min following the addition of biotin to the medium. Using fluorophore-conjugated streptavidin, intracellular biotinylated proteins were labeled after fixation of cells with a mixture of paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. Fluorescence of these proteins was resistant to osmium tetroxide staining and was detected in 100-nm ultrathin sections of Epon-embedded cells. Ultrastructures of organelles were preserved well in the same sections. Fluorescence in sections was about 14-fold brighter than that in the sections of Epon-embedded cells expressing mCherry2 and was detectable for 14 days. When mitochondria-localized miniTurbo was expressed in the cells, mitochondria-like fluorescent signals were detected in the sections, and ultrastructures of mitochondria were observed as fluorescence-positive structures in the same sections by scanning electron microscopy. Proximity labeling using miniTurbo led to more stable and brighter fluorescent signals in the ultrathin sections of Epon-embedded cells, resulting in better performance of in-resin CLEM.

Abstract
Cell surface proteins (CSPs) are vital molecular mediators for cells and their extracellular environment. Thus, understanding which CSPs are displayed on cells, especially in different cell states, remains an important endeavor in cell biology. Here, we describe the integration of cell surface engineering with radical-mediated protein biotinylation to profile CSPs. This method relies on the prefunctionalization of cells with cholesterol lipid groups, followed by sortase-catalyzed conjugation with an APEX2 ascorbate peroxidase enzyme. In the presence of biotin-phenol and H2O2, APEX2 catalyzes the formation of highly reactive biotinyl radicals that covalently tag electron-rich residues within CSPs for subsequent streptavidin-based enrichment and analysis by quantitative mass spectrometry. While APEX2 is traditionally used to capture proximity-based interactomes, we envisioned using it in a "baitless" manner on cell surfaces to capture CSPs. We evaluate this strategy in light of another CSP labeling method that relies on the presence of cell surface sialic acid. Using the APEX2 strategy, we describe the CSPs found in three mammalian cell lines and compare CSPs in adherent versus three-dimensional pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells.

Abstract
This protocol describes a hybridization-proximity labeling (HyPro) approach for identification of proteins and RNAs co-localizing with a transcript of interest in genetically unperturbed cells. It outlines steps required for purification of a recombinant HyPro enzyme, hybridization of fixed and permeabilized cells with digoxigenin-labeled probes, HyPro enzyme binding, proximity biotinylation, and downstream analyses of the biotinylated products. Although the protocol is optimized for relatively abundant noncoding transcripts, recommendations are provided for improving the signal-to-noise ratio in case of scarcer RNA “baits.” For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Yap et al. (2021).

Abstract
The identification of two variants of the canonical pore-forming subunit of the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel Orai1, Orai1α and Orai1β, in mammalian cells arises the question whether they exhibit different functional characteristics. Orai1α and Orai1β differ in the N-terminal 63 amino acids, exclusive of Orai1α, and show different sensitivities to Ca2+-dependent inactivation, as well as distinct ability to form arachidonate-regulated channels. We have evaluated the role of both Orai1 variants in the activation of TRPC1 in HeLa cells. We found that Orai1α and Orai1β are required for the maintenance of regenerative Ca2+ oscillations, while TRPC1 plays a role in agonist-induced Ca2+ influx but is not essential for Ca2+ oscillations. Using APEX2 proximity labeling, co-immunoprecipitation and the fluorescence of G-GECO1.2 fused to Orai1α our results indicate that agonist stimulation and Ca2+ store depletion enhance Orai1α–TRPC1 interaction. Orai1α is essential for TRPC1 plasma membrane location and activation. Thus, TRPC1 function in HeLa cells depends on Ca2+ influx through Orai1α exclusively.
