Abstract
Lysosomal acidity relies on H+ inflow, which requires counter-ion flows (Cl- and K+) to balance charge. A lysosome targeting ternary recognition fluorescent probe for Cl-, K+, and pH was developed for lysosome acidification counter-ion research. The probe was used to study counter-ion changes when the Cl- channel was blocked and under oxidative pressure.

Oot RA, Wilkens S. Human V-ATPase function is positively and negatively regulated by TLDc proteins. Structure 2024; 32:989-1000.e6.

Abstract
Proteins that contain a highly conserved TLDc domain (Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16 LysM domain catalytic) offer protection against oxidative stress and are widely implicated in neurological health and disease. How this family of proteins exerts their function, however, is poorly understood. We have recently found that the yeast TLDc protein, Oxr1p, inhibits the proton pumping vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) by inducing disassembly of the pump. While loss of TLDc protein function in mammals shares disease phenotypes with V-ATPase defects, whether TLDc proteins impact human V-ATPase activity directly is unclear. Here we examine the effects of five human TLDc proteins, TLDC2, NCOA7, OXR1, TBC1D24, and mEAK7 on the activity of the human V-ATPase. We find that while TLDC2, TBC1D24, and the TLDc domains of OXR1 and NCOA7 inhibit V-ATPase by inducing enzyme disassembly, mEAK7 activates the pump. The data thus shed new light both on mammalian TLDc protein function and V-ATPase regulation.

Abstract
The proton pumping V-ATPase drives essential biological processes, such as acidification of intracellular organelles. Critically, the V-ATPase domains, V1 and VO, must assemble to produce a functional holoenzyme. V-ATPase dysfunction results in cancer, neurodegeneration, and diabetes, as well as systemic acidosis caused by reduced activity of proton-secreting kidney intercalated cells (ICs). However, little is known about the molecular regulation of V-ATPase in mammals. We identified a novel interactor of the mammalian V-ATPase, Drosophila melanogaster X chromosomal gene-like 1 (Dmxl1), aka Rabconnectin-3A. The yeast homologue of Dmxl1, Rav1p, is part of a complex that catalyzes the reversible assembly of the domains. We, therefore,hypothesized that Dmxl1 is a mammalian V-ATPase assembly factor. Here, we generated kidney IC-specific Dmxl1 knockout (KO) mice, which had high urine pH, like B1 V-ATPase KO mice, suggesting impaired V-ATPase function. Western blotting showed decreased B1 expression and B1 (V1) and a4 (VO) subunits were more intracellular and less colocalized in Dmxl1 KO ICs. In parallel, subcellular fractionation revealed less V1 associated B1 in the membrane fraction of KO cells relative to the cytosol. Furthermore, a proximity ligation assay performed using probes against B1 and a4 V-ATPase subunits also revealed decreased association. We propose that loss of Dmxl1 reduces V-ATPase holoenzyme assembly, thereby inhibiting proton pumping function. Dmxl1 may recruit the V1 domain to the membrane and facilitate assembly with the VO domain and in its absence V1 may be targeted for degradation. We conclude that Dmxl1 is a bona fide mammalian V-ATPase assembly factor.

Abstract
Lysosomes constitute the main degradative compartment of most mammalian cells and are involved in various cellular functions. Most of them are catalyzed by lysosomal proteins, which typically are low abundant, complicating their analysis by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. To increase analytical performance and to enable profiling of lysosomal content, lysosomes are often enriched. Two approaches have gained popularity in recent years, namely, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and immunoprecipitation from cells overexpressing a 3xHA-tagged version of TMEM192 (TMEM-IP). The effect of these approaches on the lysosomal proteome has not been investigated to date. We addressed this topic through a combination of both techniques and proteomic analysis of lysosome-enriched fractions. For SPIONs treatment, we identified altered cellular iron homeostasis and moderate changes of the lysosomal proteome. For overexpression of TMEM192, we observed more pronounced effects in lysosomal protein expression, especially for lysosomal membrane proteins and those involved in protein trafficking. Furthermore, we established a combined strategy based on the sequential enrichment of lysosomes with SPIONs and TMEM-IP. This enabled increased purity of lysosome-enriched fractions and, through TMEM-IP-based lysosome enrichment from SPIONs flow-through and eluate fractions, additional insights into the properties of individual approaches. All data are available via ProteomeXchange with PXD048696.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) regeneration is a significant step in both living cells and in vitro biotransformation (ivBT). Rotary motor ATP synthases (ATPases), which regenerate ATP in living cells, have been widely assembled in biomimetic structures for in vitro ATP synthesis. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of ATPases, including the working principle, orientation and distribution density properties of ATPases, as well as the assembly strategies and applications of ATPase-based ATP regeneration modules. The original sources of ATPases for in vitro ATP regeneration include chromatophores, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and inverted Escherichia coli (E. coli) vesicles, which are readily accessible but unstable. Although significant advances have been made in the assembly methods for ATPase-artificial membranes in recent decades, it remains challenging to replicate the high density and orientation of ATPases observed in vivo using in vitro assembly methods. The use of bioproton pumps or chemicals for constructing proton motive forces (PMF) enables the versatility and potential of ATPase-based ATP regeneration modules. Additionally, overall robustness can be achieved via membrane component selection, such as polymers offering great mechanical stability, or by constructing a solid supporting matrix through layer-by-layer assembly techniques. Finally, the prospects of ATPase-based ATP regeneration modules can be expected with the technological development of ATPases and artificial membranes.

Abstract
Microglia are specialized macrophages responsible for the clearance of dead neurons and pathogens by phagocytosis and degradation. The degradation requires phagosome maturation and acidification provided by the vesicular- or vacuolar-type H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase), which is composed of the cytoplasmic V1 domain and the membrane-embedded Vo domain. The V-ATPase a subunit, an integral part of the Vo domain, has four isoforms in mammals. The functions of different isoforms on phagosome maturation in different cells/species remain controversial. Here we show that mutations of both the V-ATPase Atp6v0a1 and Tcirg1b/Atp6v0a3 subunits lead to the accumulation of phagosomes in zebrafish microglia. However, their mechanisms are different. The V-ATPase Atp6v0a1 subunit is mainly distributed in early and late phagosomes. Defects of this subunit lead to a defective transition from early phagosomes to late phagosomes. In contrast, The V-ATPase Tcirg1b/Atp6v0a3 subunit is primarily located on lysosomes and regulates late phagosome-lysosomal fusion. Defective Tcirg1b/Atp6v0a3, but not Atp6v0a1 subunit leads to reduced acidification and impaired macroautophagy/autophagy in microglia. We further showed that ATP6V0A1/a1 and TCIRG1/a3 subunits in mouse macrophages preferentially located in endosomes and lysosomes, respectively. Blocking these subunits disrupted early-to-late endosome transition and endosome-to-lysosome fusion, respectively. Taken together, our results highlight the essential and conserved roles played by different V-ATPase subunits in multiple steps of phagocytosis and endocytosis across various species.Abbrevations: Apoe: apolipoprotein E; ANXA5/annexin V: annexin A5; ATP6V0A1/a1: ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a1; ATP6V0A2/a2: ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a2; ATP6V0A4/a4: ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a4; dpf: days post-fertilization; EEA1: early endosome antigen 1; HOPS: homotypic fusion and protein sorting; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; Lcp1: lymphocyte cytosolic protein 1 (L-plastin); Map1lc3/Lc3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; NR: neutral red; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PtdIns: phosphatidylinositol; PtdIns3P: phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate; PtdIns(3,5)P2: phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate; RAB4: RAB4, member RAS oncogene family; RAB5: RAB5, member RAS oncogene family; RAB7: RAB7, member RAS oncogene family; TCIRG1/Atp6v0a3/a3: T cell immune regulator 1, ATPase H+-transporting V0 subunit a3; V-ATPase: vacuolar-type H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase; Xla.Tubb2b/NBT: tubulin beta 2B class IIb.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) is more efficient in coleopteran insects than other insects. StaufenC (StauC), a coleopteran-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding protein, is required for efficient RNAi in coleopterans. We investigated the function of StauC in the intracellular transport of dsRNA into the cytosol, where dsRNA is digested by Dicer enzymes and recruited by Argonauts to RNA-induced silencing complexes. Confocal microscopy and cellular organelle fractionation studies have shown that dsRNA is trafficked through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in coleopteran Colorado potato beetle (CPB) cells. StauC is localized to the ER in CPB cells, and StauC-knockdown caused the accumulation of dsRNA in the ER and a decrease in the cytosol, suggesting that StauC plays a key role in the intracellular transport of dsRNA through the ER. Using immunoprecipitation, we showed that StauC is required for dsRNA interaction with ER proteins in the ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway, and these interactions are required for RNAi in CPB cells. These results suggest that StauC works with the ERAD pathway to transport dsRNA through the ER to the cytosol. This information could be used to develop dsRNA delivery methods aimed at improving RNAi.

Rapamycin and Starvation Mitigate Indomethacin-Induced Intestinal Damage through Preservation of Lysosomal Vacuolar ATPase Integrity. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2024; 390:108-115.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) possess anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic properties and are among the most commonly used drugs. Although the cause of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers is well understood, the mechanism behind small intestinal ulcers remains elusive. In this study, we examined the mechanism through which indomethacin (IM), a prominent NSAID, induces small intestinal ulcers, both in vitro and in vivo. In IEC6 cells, a small intestinal epithelial cell line, IM treatment elevated levels of LC3-II and p62. These expression levels remained unaltered after treatment with chloroquine or bafilomycin, which are vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) inhibitors. IM treatment reduced the activity of cathepsin B, a lysosomal protein hydrolytic enzyme, and increased the lysosomal pH. There was a notable increase in subcellular colocalization of LC3 with Lamp2, a lysosome marker, post IM treatment. The increased lysosomal pH and decreased cathepsin B activity were reversed by pretreatment with rapamycin (Rapa) or glucose starvation, both of which stabilize V-ATPase assembly. To validate the in vitro findings in vivo, we established an IM-induced small intestine ulcer mouse model. In this model, we observed multiple ulcerations and heightened inflammation following IM administration. However, pretreatment with Rapa or fasting, which stabilize V-ATPase assembly, mitigated the IM-induced small intestinal ulcers in mice. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that IM binds to V-ATPase in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest that IM induces small intestinal injury through lysosomal dysfunction, likely due to the disassembly of lysosomal V-ATPase caused by direct binding. Moreover, Rapa or starvation can prevent this injury by stabilizing the assembly. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study elucidates the largely unknown mechanisms behind small intestinal ulceration induced by indomethacin and reveals the involvement of lysosomal dysfunction via vacuolar ATPase disassembly. The significance lies in identifying potential preventative interventions, such as rapamycin treatment or glucose starvation, offering pivotal insights that extend beyond nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced ulcers to broader gastrointestinal pathologies and treatments, thereby providing a foundation for novel therapeutic strategies aimed at a wide array of gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract
Salinity acclimatization refers to the physiological and behavioral adjustments made by crustaceans to adapt to varying salinity environments. The eyestalk, a neuroendocrine organ in crustaceans, plays a crucial role in salinity acclimatization. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying eyestalk involvement in mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) acclimatization, we employed RNA-seq technology to analyze transcriptomic changes in the eyestalk under low (5 ppt) and standard (23 ppt) salinity conditions. This analysis revealed 5431 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 2372 upregulated and 3059 downregulated. Notably, these DEGs were enriched in crucial biological pathways like metabolism, osmoregulation, and signal transduction. To validate the RNA-seq data, we further analyzed 15 DEGs of interest using qRT-PCR. Our results suggest a multifaceted role for the eyestalk: maintaining energy homeostasis, regulating hormone synthesis and release, PKA activity, and downstream signaling, and ensuring proper ion and osmotic balance. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) may function as a key regulator, modulating carbonic anhydrase expression through the activation of the PKA signaling pathway, thereby influencing cellular osmoregulation, and associated metabolic processes. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into unraveling the molecular mechanisms of mud crab acclimatization to low salinity environments.

Abstract
During acute viral infections, innate immune cells invade inflamed tissues and face hypoxic areas. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) adapt cellular responses towards these conditions. We wanted to investigate the effects of a loss of HIF-2α in macrophages during acute Friend murine leukemia retrovirus (FV) infection in C57BL/6 mice using a Cre/loxP system. Remarkably, mice with floxed Hif-2a (Hif-2afl; Hif-2a is also known as Epas1) did not show any signs of FV infection independent of Cre activity. This prevented a detailed analysis of the role of macrophage HIF-2α for FV infection but allowed us to study a model of unexpected FV resistance. Hif-2afl mice showed a significant decrease in the expression of the Atp6v1e2 gene encoding for the E2 subunit of the vacuolar H+-ATPase, which resulted in a decreased acidification of lysosomes and limited virus entry into the cell. These findings highlight that the insertion of loxP sites is not always without functional consequences and has established a phenotype in the floxed Hif-2a mouse, which is not only unexpected, but unwanted and is of relevance for the use of this mouse strain in (at least virus) experiments.

ATP6V1A is required for synaptic rearrangements and plasticity in murine hippocampal neurons. Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2024:e14186.

Abstract
AIM Understanding the physiological role of ATP6V1A, a component of the cytosolic V1 domain of the proton pump vacuolar ATPase, in regulating neuronal development and function. METHODS Modeling loss of function of Atp6v1a in primary murine hippocampal neurons and studying neuronal morphology and function by immunoimaging, electrophysiological recordings and electron microscopy. RESULTS Atp6v1a depletion affects neurite elongation, stabilization, and function of excitatory synapses and prevents synaptic rearrangement upon induction of plasticity. These phenotypes are due to an overall decreased expression of the V1 subunits, that leads to impairment of lysosomal pH-regulation and autophagy progression with accumulation of aberrant lysosomes at neuronal soma and of enlarged vacuoles at synaptic boutons. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest a physiological role of ATP6V1A in the surveillance of synaptic integrity and plasticity and highlight the pathophysiological significance of ATP6V1A loss in the alteration of synaptic function that is associated with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. The data further support the pivotal involvement of lysosomal function and autophagy flux in maintaining proper synaptic connectivity and adaptive neuronal properties.

Pu X, Qi B. Lysosomal dysfunction by inactivation of V-ATPase drives innate immune response in C. elegans. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114138.

Abstract
Pathogens target vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) to inhibit lysosomal acidification or lysosomal fusion, causing lysosomal dysfunction. However, it remains unknown whether cells can detect dysfunctional lysosomes and initiate an immune response. In this study, we discover that dysfunction of lysosomes caused by inactivation of V-ATPase enhances innate immunity against bacterial infections. We find that lysosomal V-ATPase interacts with DVE-1, whose nuclear localization serves as a proxy for the induction of mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt). The inactivation of V-ATPase promotes the nuclear localization of DVE-1, activating UPRmt and inducing downstream immune response genes. Furthermore, pathogen resistance conferred by inactivation of V-ATPase requires dve-1 and its downstream immune effectors. Interestingly, animals grow slower after vha RNAi, suggesting that the vha-RNAi-induced immune response costs the most energy through activation of DVE-1, which trades off with growth. This study reveals how dysfunctional lysosomes can trigger an immune response, emphasizing the importance of conserving energy during immune defense.

Abstract
Efferocytosis, the process of engulfing and removing apoptotic cells, plays an essential role in preserving tissue health and averting undue inflammation. While macrophages are primarily known for this task, dendritic cells (DCs) also play a significant role. This review delves into the unique contributions of various DC subsets to efferocytosis, highlighting the distinctions in how DCs and macrophages recognize and handle apoptotic cells. It further explores how efferocytosis influences DC maturation, thereby affecting immune tolerance. This underscores the pivotal role of DCs in orchestrating immune responses and sustaining immune equilibrium, providing new insights into their function in immune regulation.

Nanoparticle-delivered RNAi-based pesticide target screening for the rice pest white-backed planthopper and risk assessment for a natural predator. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 926:171286. [PMID: 38428617 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Vacuolar-type (H+)-ATPase (vATPase) is a conserved multi-subunit eukaryotic enzyme composed of 14 subunits that form a functional complex consisting of an ATP-hydrolytic domain (V1) and a proton-translocation domain (V0). ATP hydrolysis and subsequent H+ translocation rely heavily on a fully assembled V1/V0 complex. Since vATPase is crucial for insect survival, it is a viable molecular target for pest control. However, detailed functional analyses of the 14 subunits and their suitability for pest control have not been fully explored in a single insect species. In this study, we identified 22 vATPase subunit transcripts that correspond to 13 subunits (A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, a1, a2, c and d) in the white-backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera, a major hemipteran pest of rice. RNAi screens using microinjection and spray-based methods revealed that the SfVHA-F, SfVHA-a2 and SfVHA-c2 subunits are critical. Furthermore, star polymer (SPc) nanoparticles were utilized to conduct spray-induced and nanoparticle-delivered gene silencing (SI-NDGS) to evaluate the pest control efficacy of RNAi targeting the SfVHA-F, SfVHA-a2 and SfVHA-c2 transcripts. Target mRNA levels and vATPase enzymatic activity were both reduced. Honeydew excreta was likewise reduced in WBPH treated with dsRNAs targeting SfVHA-F, SfVHA-a2 and SfVHA-c2. To assess the environmental safety of the nanoparticle-wrapped dsRNAs, Cyrtorhinus lividipennis Reuter, a major natural enemy of planthoppers, was also sprayed with dsRNAs targeting SfVHA-F, SfVHA-a2 and SfVHA-c2. Post-spray effects of dsSfVHA-a2 and dsSfVHA-c2 on C. lividipennis were innocuous. This study identifies SfVHA-a2 and SfVHA-c2 as promising targets for biorational control of WBPH and lays the foundation for developing environment-friendly RNAi biopesticides.

Abstract
As in most cells, intracellular pH regulation is fundamental for sperm physiology. Key sperm functions like swimming, maturation, and a unique exocytotic process, the acrosome reaction, necessary for gamete fusion, are deeply influenced by pH. Sperm pH regulation, both intracellularly and within organelles such as the acrosome, requires a coordinated interplay of various transporters and channels, ensuring that this cell is primed for fertilization. Consistent with the pivotal importance of pH regulation in mammalian sperm physiology, several of its unique transporters are dependent on cytosolic pH. Examples include the Ca2+ channel CatSper and the K+ channel Slo3. The absence of these channels leads to male infertility. This review outlines the main transport elements involved in pH regulation, including cytosolic and acrosomal pH, that participate in these complex functions. We present a glimpse of how these transporters are regulated and how distinct sets of them are orchestrated to allow sperm to fertilize the egg. Much research is needed to begin to envision the complete set of players and the choreography of how cytosolic and organellar pH are regulated in each sperm function.

Abstract
MR1T cells are a recently found class of T cells that recognize antigens presented by the major histocompatibility complex-I-related molecule MR1 in the absence of microbial infection. The nature of the self-antigens that stimulate MR1T cells remains unclear, hampering our understanding of their physiological role and therapeutic potential. By combining genetic, pharmacological, and biochemical approaches, we found that carbonyl stress and changes in nucleobase metabolism in target cells promote MR1T cell activation. Stimulatory compounds formed by carbonyl adducts of nucleobases were detected within MR1 molecules produced by tumor cells, and their abundance and antigenicity were enhanced by drugs that induce carbonyl accumulation. Our data reveal carbonyl-nucleobase adducts as MR1T cell antigens. Recognizing cells under carbonyl stress allows MR1T cells to monitor cellular metabolic changes with physiological and therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects lung myeloid cells, but the specific Mtb-permissive cells and host mechanisms supporting Mtb persistence during chronic infection are incompletely characterized. We report that after the development of T cell responses, CD11clo monocyte-derived cells harbor more live Mtb than alveolar macrophages (AM), neutrophils, and CD11chi monocyte-derived cells. Transcriptomic and functional studies revealed that the lysosome pathway is underexpressed in this highly permissive subset, characterized by less lysosome content, acidification, and proteolytic activity than AM, along with less nuclear TFEB, a regulator of lysosome biogenesis. Mtb infection does not drive lysosome deficiency in CD11clo monocyte-derived cells but promotes recruitment of monocytes that develop into permissive lung cells, mediated by the Mtb ESX-1 secretion system. The c-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor nilotinib activates TFEB and enhances lysosome functions of macrophages in vitro and in vivo, improving control of Mtb infection. Our results suggest that Mtb exploits lysosome-poor lung cells for persistence and targeting lysosome biogenesis is a potential host-directed therapy for tuberculosis.

Abstract
Endothelial cells, forming a monolayer along blood vessels, intricately regulate vascular hemostasis, inflammatory responses, and angiogenesis. A key determinant of these functions is the controlled secretion of Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs), which are specialized endothelial storage organelles housing a presynthesized pool of the hemostatic protein von Willebrand factor and various other hemostatic, inflammatory, angiogenic, and vasoactive mediators. This review delves into recent mechanistic insights into WPB biology, including the biogenesis that results in their unique morphology, the acquisition of intraluminal vesicles and other cargo, and the contribution of proton pumps to organelle acidification. Additionally, in light of a number of proteomic approaches to unravel the regulatory networks that control WPB formation and secretion, we provide a comprehensive overview of the WPB exocytotic machinery, including their molecular and cellular mechanisms.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as crucial mediators of cell-to-cell communication in normal physiology as well as in diseased states, and have been largely studied in regard to their role in cancer progression. However, the mechanisms by which their biogenesis and secretion are regulated by metabolic or endocrine factors remain unknown. Here, we delineate a mechanism by which EV secretion is regulated by a cholesterol metabolite, 27-Hydroxycholesterol (27HC), where treatment of myeloid immune cells (RAW 264.7 and J774A.1) with 27HC impairs lysosomal homeostasis, leading to shunting of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) away from lysosomal degradation, towards secretion as EVs. This impairment of lysosomal function is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequent increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, cotreatment with a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant rescued the lysosomal impairment and attenuated the 27HC-mediated increase in EV secretion. Overall, our findings establish how a cholesterol metabolite regulates EV secretion and paves the way for the development of strategies to regulate cancer progression by controlling EV secretion.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024; 80:2282-2293.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is one of the most important insect pests of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in northern Europe. The emergence of insecticide-resistant populations and the ban on neonicotinoid seed treatments have made the management of this pest challenging and research is needed to develop alternative strategies such as RNA interference (RNAi). We investigated lethal and sublethal effects of orally delivered double-stranded (ds)RNAs targeting P. chrysocephala orthologs of Sec23 and vacuolar adenosine triphosphatase subunit G (VatpG), which are involved in endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi transport and organelle acidification, respectively. RESULTS Feeding bioassays on P. chrysocephala adults showed that the highest concentration (200 ng/leaf disk) of dsSec23 caused mortalities of 76% and 56% in pre-aestivating and post-aestivating beetles, respectively, while the same concentration of dsVatpG led to mortality rates of ~34% in both stages. Moreover, sublethal effects, such as decreased feeding rates and attenuated locomotion were observed. Small RNA sequencing and gene expression measurements following the delivery of dsRNAs demonstrated the generation of ~21 nucleotide-long small interfering RNAs and a systemic RNAi response in P. chrysocephala. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that P. chrysocephala is a promising candidate for developing RNAi-based pest management strategies. Further research is necessary to identify more effective target genes and to assess potential non-target effects. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Background As highlighted by recent pandemic outbreaks, antiviral drugs are crucial resources in the global battle against viral diseases. Unfortunately, most antiviral drugs are characterized by a plethora of side effects and low efficiency/poor bioavailability owing to their insolubility. This also applies to the arylnaphthalide lignin family member, diphyllin (Diph). Diph acts as a vacuolar ATPase inhibitor and has been previously identified as a promising candidate with broad-spectrum antiviral activity. However, its physicochemical properties preclude its efficient administration in vivo, complicating preclinical testing. Methods We produced human recombinant H- ferritin (HsaFtH) and used it as a delivery vehicle for Diph encapsulation through pH-mediated reversible reassembly of HsaFtH. Diph nanoformulation was subsequently thoroughly characterized and tested for its non-target cytotoxicity and antiviral efficiency using a panel of pathogenic viral strain. Results We revealed that loading into HsaFtH decreased the undesired cytotoxicity of Diph in mammalian host cells. We also confirmed that encapsulated Diph exhibited slightly lower antiviral activity than free Diph, which may be due to the differential uptake mechanism and kinetics of free Diph and Diph@HsaFtH. Furthermore, we confirmed that the antiviral effect was mediated solely by Diph with no contribution from HsaFtH. Conclusion It was confirmed that HsaFtH is a suitable vehicle that allows easy loading of Diph and production of highly homogeneous nanoparticles dispersion with promising broad-spectrum antiviral activity.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) presents with renal cysts and benign tumors, which eventually lead to kidney failure. The factors promoting kidney cyst formation in TSC are poorly understood. Inactivation of carbonic anhydrase 2 (Car2) significantly reduced, whereas, deletion of Foxi1 completely abrogated the cyst burden in Tsc1 KO mice. In these studies, we contrasted the ontogeny of cyst burden in Tsc1/Car2 dKO mice vs. Tsc1/Foxi1 dKO mice. Compared to Tsc1 KO, the Tsc1/Car2 dKO mice showed few small cysts at 47 days of age. However, by 110 days, the kidneys showed frequent and large cysts with overwhelming numbers of A-intercalated cells in their linings. The magnitude of cyst burden in Tsc1/Car2 dKO mice correlated with the expression levels of Foxi1 and was proportional to mTORC1 activation. This is in stark contrast to Tsc1/Foxi1 dKO mice, which showed a remarkable absence of kidney cysts at both 47 and 110 days of age. RNA-seq data pointed to profound upregulation of Foxi1 and kidney-collecting duct-specific H+-ATPase subunits in 110-day-old Tsc1/Car2 dKO mice. We conclude that Car2 inactivation temporarily decreases the kidney cyst burden in Tsc1 KO mice but the cysts increase with advancing age, along with enhanced Foxi1 expression.

Abstract
Lysosomal cathepsins as a regulatory medium have been assessed as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of various cardiac diseases such as abdominal aortic aneurysm, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, etc. They are ubiquitous lysosomal proteases with papain-like folded protein structures that are involved in a variety of physiological processes, such as the digestion of proteins, activation of pro-inflammatory molecules, degradation of extracellular matrix components, and maturation of peptide hormones. Cathepsins are classified into three major groups: cysteine cathepsins, aspartic cathepsins, and serine-threonine cathepsins. Each of these groups is further divided into subgroups based on their substrate specificity, structural characteristics, and biochemical properties. Several studies suggest that cathepsins control the degradation of ECM components such as collagen and elastin fibres. These enzymes are highly expressed in macrophages and inflammatory cells, and their upregulation has been demonstrated to be critical in the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Additionally, increased cathepsin activity has been linked to increased vascular inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are associated with CVDs. Specifically, the inhibition of cathepsins may reduce the release of pro-apoptotic mediators such as caspase-3 and PARP-1, which are thought to contribute to plaque instability. The potential of cathepsins as biomarkers and therapeutic targets has also been supported by the identification of potential cathepsin inhibitors, which could be used to modulate the activities of cathepsins in a range of diseases. This review shall familiarise the readers with the role of cysteinyl cathepsins and their inhibitors in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms of drug action in malarial parasites is crucial for the development of new drugs to combat infection and to counteract drug resistance. Proteomics is a widely used approach to study host-pathogen systems and to identify drug protein targets. Plasmodione is an antiplasmodial early-lead drug exerting potent activities against young asexual and sexual blood stages in vitro with low toxicity to host cells. To elucidate its molecular mechanisms, an affinity-based protein profiling (AfBPP) approach was applied to yeast and P. falciparum proteomes. New (pro-) AfBPP probes based on the 3-benz(o)yl-6-fluoro-menadione scaffold were synthesized. With optimized conditions of both photoaffinity labeling and click reaction steps, the AfBPP protocol was then applied to a yeast proteome, yielding 11 putative drug-protein targets. Among these, we found four proteins associated with oxidoreductase activities, the hypothesized type of targets for plasmodione and its metabolites, and other proteins associated with the mitochondria. In Plasmodium parasites, the MS analysis revealed 44 potential plasmodione targets that need to be validated in further studies. Finally, the localization of a 3-benzyl-6-fluoromenadione AfBPP probe was studied in the subcellular structures of the parasite at the trophozoite stage.

Abstract
New drugs with novel modes of action are needed to safeguard malaria treatment. In recent years, millions of compounds have been tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of asexual blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites, resulting in the identification of thousands of compounds with antiplasmodial activity. Determining the mechanisms of action of antiplasmodial compounds informs their further development, but remains challenging. A relatively high proportion of compounds identified as killing asexual blood-stage parasites show evidence of targeting the parasite's plasma membrane Na+-extruding, H+-importing pump, PfATP4. Inhibitors of PfATP4 give rise to characteristic changes in the parasite's internal [Na+] and pH. Here, we designed a "pH fingerprint" assay that robustly identifies PfATP4 inhibitors while simultaneously allowing the detection of (and discrimination between) inhibitors of the lactate:H+ transporter PfFNT, which is a validated antimalarial drug target, and the V-type H+ ATPase, which was suggested as a possible target of the clinical candidate ZY19489. In our pH fingerprint assays and subsequent secondary assays, ZY19489 did not show evidence for the inhibition of pH regulation by the V-type H+ ATPase, suggesting that it has a different mode of action in the parasite. The pH fingerprint assay also has the potential to identify protonophores, inhibitors of the acid-loading Cl- transporter(s) (for which the molecular identity(ies) remain elusive), and compounds that act through inhibition of either the glucose transporter PfHT or glycolysis. The pH fingerprint assay therefore provides an efficient starting point to match a proportion of antiplasmodial compounds with their mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Microbial rhodopsin (MRs) ion channels and pumps have become invaluable optogenetic tools for neuroscience as well as biomedical applications. Recently, MR-optogenetics expanded towards subcellular organelles opening principally new opportunities in optogenetic control of intracellular metabolism and signaling via precise manipulations of organelle ion gradients using light. This new optogenetic field expands the opportunities for basic and medical studies of cancer, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders, providing more detailed and accurate control of cell physiology. This review summarizes recent advances in studies of the cellular metabolic processes and signaling mediated by optogenetic tools targeting mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lysosomes, and synaptic vesicles. Finally, we discuss perspectives of such an optogenetic approach in both fundamental and applied research.

[PMID: 38581526 PMCID: PMC11006738 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-024-02952-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) differs from transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmAC) in many aspects. In particular, the activity of sAC is not regulated by G-proteins but by the prevailing bicarbonate concentrations inside cells. Therefore, sAC serves as an exquisite intracellular pH sensor, with the capacity to translate pH changes into the regulation of localization and/or activity of cellular proteins involved in pH homeostasis. In this review, we provide an overview of literature describing the regulation of sAC activity by bicarbonate, pinpointing the importance of compartmentalization of intracellular cAMP signaling cascades. In addition, examples of processes involving proton and bicarbonate transport in different cell types, in which sAC plays an important regulatory role, were described in detail.

Abstract
This study explores the intricate relationship between the yeast vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) and neutral lipid metabolism. We show that LD generation observed upon loss of V-ATPase activity is crucial for survival in lipotoxic conditions. Moreover, the study uncovers a link between V-ATPase function, inositol metabolism and the activation of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, highlighting its pivotal role in counteracting oxidative stress. This work provides foundational insights into metabolic adaptations triggered by V-ATPase dysfunction, shedding light on cellular adaptability under lipotoxic and oxidative stress conditions.

Abstract
While flocculation has demonstrated its efficacy in enhancing yeast robustness and ethanol production, its potential application for lactic acid fermentation remains largely unexplored. Our study examined the differences between flocculating and nonflocculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in terms of their metabolic dynamics when incorporating an exogenous lactic acid pathway, across varying cell densities and in the presence of lignocellulose-derived byproducts. Comparative gene expression profiles revealed that cultivating a nonflocculant strain at higher cell density yielded a substantial upregulation of genes associated with glycolysis, energy metabolism, and other key pathways, resulting in elevated levels of fermentation products. Meanwhile, the flocculating strain displayed an inherent ability to sustain high glycolytic activity regardless of the cell density. Moreover, our investigation revealed a significant reduction in glycolytic activity under chemical stress, potentially attributable to diminished ATP supply during the energy investment phase. Conversely, the formation of flocs in the flocculating strain conferred protection against toxic chemicals present in the medium, fostering more stable lactic acid production levels. Additionally, the distinct flocculation traits observed between the two examined strains may be attributed to variations in the nucleotide sequences of the flocculin genes and their regulators. This study uncovers the potential of flocculation for enhanced lactic acid production in yeast, offering insights into metabolic mechanisms and potential gene targets for strain improvement.

Abstract
Besides participating in diverse pathological and physiological processes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are also excellent drug-delivery vehicles. However, clinical drugs modulating EV levels are still lacking. Here, we show that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce EVs by enhancing macropinocytosis-mediated EV uptake. PPIs accelerate intestinal cell endocytosis of autocrine immunosuppressive EVs through macropinocytosis, thereby aggravating inflammatory bowel disease. PPI-induced macropinocytosis facilitates the clearance of immunosuppressive EVs from tumour cells, improving antitumor immunity. PPI-induced macropinocytosis also increases doxorubicin and antisense oligonucleotides of microRNA-155 delivery efficiency by EVs, leading to enhanced therapeutic effects of drug-loaded EVs on tumours and acute liver failure. Mechanistically, PPIs reduce cytosolic pH, promote ATP6V1A (v-ATPase subunit) disassembly from the vacuolar membrane and enhance the assembly of plasma membrane v-ATPases, thereby inducing macropinocytosis. Altogether, our results reveal a mechanism for macropinocytic regulation and PPIs as potential modulators of EV levels, thus regulating their functions.

Abstract
The multifunctional membrane glycoprotein CD36 is expressed in different types of cells and plays a key regulatory role in cellular lipid metabolism, especially in cardiac muscle. CD36 facilitates the cellular uptake of long-chain fatty acids, mediates lipid signaling, and regulates storage and oxidation of lipids in various tissues with active lipid metabolism. CD36 deficiency leads to marked impairments in peripheral lipid metabolism, which consequently impact on the cellular utilization of multiple different fuels because of the integrated nature of metabolism. The functional presence of CD36 at the plasma membrane is regulated by its reversible subcellular recycling from and to endosomes and is under the control of mechanical, hormonal, and nutritional factors. Aberrations in this dynamic role of CD36 are causally associated with various metabolic diseases, in particular insulin resistance, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac hypertrophy. Recent research in cardiac muscle has disclosed the endosomal proton pump vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) as a key enzyme regulating subcellular CD36 recycling and being the site of interaction between various substrates to determine cellular substrate preference. In addition, evidence is accumulating that interventions targeting CD36 directly or modulating its subcellular recycling are effective for the treatment of metabolic diseases. In conclusion, subcellular CD36 localization is the major adaptive regulator of cellular uptake and metabolism of long-chain fatty acids and appears a suitable target for metabolic modulation therapy to mend failing hearts.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATP-dependent proton pumps (V-ATPases) belong to a super-family of rotary ATPases and ATP synthases. The V1 complex consumes ATP to drive rotation of a central rotor that pumps protons across membranes via the Vo complex. Eukaryotic V-ATPases are regulated by reversible disassembly of subunit C, V1 without C, and VO. ATP hydrolysis is thought to generate an unknown rotary state that initiates regulated disassembly. Dissociated V1 is inhibited by subunit H that traps it in a specific rotational position. Here, we report the first single-molecule studies with high resolution of time and rotational position of Saccharomyces cerevisiae V1-ATPase lacking subunits H and C (V1ΔHC), which resolves previously elusive dwells and angular velocity changes. Rotation occurred in 120° power strokes separated by dwells comparable to catalytic dwells observed in other rotary ATPases. However, unique V1ΔHC rotational features included: 1) faltering power stroke rotation during the first 60°; 2) a dwell often occurring ∼45° after the catalytic dwell, which did not increase in duration at limiting MgATP; 3) a second dwell, ∼2-fold longer occurring 112° that increased in duration and occurrence at limiting MgATP; 4) limiting MgATP-dependent decreases in power stroke angular velocity where dwells were not observed. The results presented here are consistent with MgATP binding to the empty catalytic site at 112° and MgADP released at ∼45°, and provide important new insight concerning the molecular basis for the differences in rotary positions of substrate binding and product release between V-type and F-type ATPases.

Abstract
Prodigiosin (PG) is a naturally occurring polypyrrole red pigment produced by numerous microorganisms including some Serratia and Streptomyces strains. PG has exhibited promising anticancer activity; however, the molecular mechanisms of action of PG on malignant cells remain ambiguous. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine that governs a wide array of cellular processes in development and tissue homeostasis. Malfunctions of TGF-β signaling are associated with numerous human cancers. Emerging evidence underscores the significance of internalized TGF-β receptors and their intracellular trafficking in initiating signaling cascades. In this study, we identified PG as a potent inhibitor of the TGF-β pathway. PG blocked TGF-β signaling by targeting multiple sites of this pathway, including facilitating the sequestering of TGF-β receptors in the cytoplasm by impeding the recycling of type II TGF-β receptors to the cell surface. Additionally, PG prompts a reduction in the abundance of receptors on the cell surface through the disruption of the receptor glycosylation. In human Caucasian lung carcinoma cells and human hepatocellular cancer cell line cells, nanomolar concentrations of PG substantially diminish TGF-β-triggered phosphorylation of Smad2 protein. This attenuation is further reflected in the suppression of downstream target gene expression, including those encoding fibronectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and N-cadherin. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Prodigiosin (PG) emerges from this study as a potent TGF-β pathway inhibitor, disrupting receptor trafficking and glycosylation and reducing TGF-β signaling and downstream gene expression. These findings not only shed light on PG's potential therapeutic role but also present a captivating avenue towards future anti-TGF-β strategies.

Abstract
V-ATPase is an ATP hydrolysis-driven proton pump involved in the acidification of intracellular organelles and systemic acid-base homeostasis through H+ secretion in the renal collecting ducts. V-ATPase dysfunction is associated with hereditary distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). ATP6V1B1 encodes the B1 subunit of V-ATPase that is integral to ATP hydrolysis and subsequent H+ transport. Patients with pathogenic ATP6V1B1 mutations often exhibit an early onset of sensorineural hearing loss. However, the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. We employed morpholino oligonucleotide-mediated knockdown and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to generate Atp6v1ba-deficient (atp6v1ba-/-) zebrafish as an ortholog model for ATP6V1B1. The atp6v1ba-/- zebrafish exhibited systemic acidosis and significantly smaller otoliths compared to wild-type siblings. Moreover, deficiency in Atp6v1ba led to degeneration of inner ear hair cells, with ultrastructural changes indicative of autophagy. Our findings indicate a critical role of ATP6V1B1 in regulating lysosomal pH and autophagy in hair cells, and the results provide insights into the pathophysiology of sensorineural hearing loss in dRTA. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that the atp6v1ba-/- zebrafish model is a valuable tool for further investigation into disease mechanisms and potential therapies for acidosis-related hearing impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are overlapping risk factors and underlying molecular mechanisms for both peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Despite improvements in the early diagnosis and treatment of AAA, ruptured AAAs continue to cause a substantial number of deaths. Helicobacter pylori are Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacteria that are now recognized as the main cause of PUD. H. pylori infection (HPI) is associated with an increased risk of certain cardiovascular diseases. HPIs can be treated with at least two different antibiotics to prevent bacteria from developing resistance to one particular antibiotic. METHODS We conducted a population-based cohort study using the National Health Insurance Research Database to evaluate whether associations exist among PUD, HPI, and eradication therapy for HPI and AAA. The primary outcome of this study was the cumulative incidence of AAA among patients with or without PUD and HPI during the 14-year follow-up period. RESULTS Our analysis included 7003 patients with PUD/HPI, 7003 patients with only PUD, and another 7003 age-, sex-, and comorbidity-matched controls from the database. We found that patients with PUD/HPI had a significantly increased risk of AAA compared to those with PUD alone and matched controls. The patients who had PUD/HPI had a significantly higher cumulative risk of developing AAA than those with PUD and the comparison group (2.67 % vs. 1.41 % vs. 0.73 %, respectively, p < 0.001). Among those patients with PUD/HPI, patients who had eradication therapy had a lower incidence of AAA than those without eradication therapy (2.46 % vs. 3.88 %, p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS We revealed an association among PUD, HPI, and AAA, even after adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, and annual medical follow-up visits. Notably, we found that HPI eradication therapy reduced the incidence of AAA among patients with PUD.

Abstract
Lysosomes are central to metabolic homeostasis. The microphthalmia bHLH-LZ transcription factors (MiT/TFEs) family members MITF, TFEB, and TFE3 promote the transcription of lysosomal and autophagic genes and are often deregulated in cancer. Here, we show that the GATOR2 complex, an activator of the metabolic regulator TORC1, maintains lysosomal function by protecting MiT/TFEs from proteasomal degradation independent of TORC1, GATOR1, and the RAG GTPase. We determine that in GATOR2 knockout HeLa cells, members of the MiT/TFEs family are ubiquitylated by a trio of E3 ligases and are degraded, resulting in lysosome dysfunction. Additionally, we demonstrate that GATOR2 protects MiT/TFE proteins in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma, two cancers that are driven by MiT/TFE hyperactivation. In summary, we find that the GATOR2 complex has independent roles in TORC1 regulation and MiT/TFE protein protection and thus is central to coordinating cellular metabolism with control of the lysosomal-autophagic system.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and glutamate toxicity are associated with neural disorders, including brain trauma. A review of the literature suggests that toxic and transmission actions of neuronal glutamate are spatially and functionally separated. The transmission pathway utilizes synaptic GluN2A receptors, rapidly released pool of glutamate, evoked release of glutamate mediated by Synaptotagmin 1 and the amount of extracellular glutamate regulated by astrocytes. The toxic pathway utilizes extrasynaptic GluN2B receptors and a cytoplasmic pool of glutamate, which results from the spontaneous release of glutamate mediated by Synaptotagmin 7 and the neuronal 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDHC), a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme. Additionally, the inhibition of OGDHC observed upon neuro-inflammation is due to an excessive release of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species by immune cells. The loss of OGDHC inhibits uptake of glutamate by mitochondria, thus facilitating its extracellular accumulation and stimulating toxic glutamate pathway without affecting transmission. High levels of extracellular glutamate lead to dysregulation of intracellular redox homeostasis and cause ferroptosis, excitotoxicity, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The latter affects the transmission pathway demanding high-energy supply and leading to cell death. Mitochondria aggravate glutamate toxicity due to impairments in the TCA cycle and become a victim of glutamate toxicity, which disrupts oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, therapies targeting the TCA cycle in neurological disorders may be more efficient than attempting to preserve mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Inspired by the structures and functions of natural channel proteins that selectively permeate ions and molecules across biological membranes, synthetic molecules capable of self-assembling into supramolecular nanotubes within the hydrophobic layer of the membranes have been designed and their material permeation properties have been studied. More recently, synthetic chemists have ventured to incorporate fluorine atoms, elements rarely found in natural proteins, into the structure of synthetic channels and discovered anomalous transmembrane material permeation properties. In this Perspective, the author provides a brief overview of recent advances in the development of fluorinated nanochannels and possible directions for the future.

The Human Mutation K237_V238del in a Putative Lipid Binding Motif within the V-ATPase a2 Isoform Suggests a Molecular Mechanism Underlying Cutis Laxa. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2170.

Abstract
Vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases), proton pumps composed of 16 subunits, are necessary for a variety of cellular functions. Subunit "a" has four isoforms, a1-a4, each with a distinct cellular location. We identified a phosphoinositide (PIP) interaction motif, KXnK(R)IK(R), conserved in all four isoforms, and hypothesize that a/PIP interactions regulate V-ATPase recruitment/retention to different organelles. Among the four isoforms, a2 is enriched on Golgi with a2 mutations in the PIP motif resulting in cutis laxa. We hypothesize that the hydrophilic N-terminal (NT) domain of a2 contains a lipid-binding domain, and mutations in this domain prevent interaction with Golgi-enriched PIPs, resulting in cutis laxa. We recreated the cutis laxa-causing mutation K237_V238del, and a double mutation in the PIP-binding motif, K237A/V238A. Circular dichroism confirmed that there were no protein structure alterations. Pull-down assays with PIP-enriched liposomes revealed that wildtype a2NT preferentially binds phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P), while mutants decreased binding to PI(4)P. In HEK293 cells, wildtype a2NT was localized to Golgi and co-purified with microsomal membranes. Mutants reduced Golgi localization and membrane association. Rapamycin depletion of PI(4)P diminished a2NT-Golgi localization. We conclude that a2NT is sufficient for Golgi retention, suggesting the lipid-binding motif is involved in V-ATPase targeting and/or retention. Mutational analyses suggest a molecular mechanism underlying how a2 mutations result in cutis laxa.

Abstract
Reticulitermes chinensis Snyder is an important pest in forestry and construction and is widely distributed in China. We found that Serratia marcescens Bizio strain SM1 has insecticidal activity to R. chinensis, but the pathogenic mechanism of SM1 to R. chinensis is not clear. Therefore, full-length transcriptome sequencing was performed on R. chinensis infected with SM1 and the control group. A total of 230 differentially expressed genes were identified by comparing SM1 infection group and the control group, among which 103 were downregulated and 127 were upregulated. We found downregulated genes in nine metabolic pathway categories, among which carbohydrate metabolism had the most downregulated genes, followed by energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism. We also found that some downregulated genes were related to pattern recognition receptors, cellular immunity, and humoral immunity, indicating that R. chinensis immunity was negatively affected by SM1 infection. In addition, some genes in signal transduction and genetic information processing pathways were downregulated. In this study, high-throughput full-length transcriptome analysis was used to analyse the pathogenic mechanism of SM1 to R. chinensis. The results of this study provide useful information for exploring the relationship between SM1 and R. chinensis, and provide theoretical support for the future application of SM1 and the prevention and treatment of R. chinensis.

Abstract
Lysosomes are critical in modulating the progression and metastasis for various cancers. There is currently an unmet need for lysosomal alkalizers that can selectively and safely alter the pH and inhibit the function of cancer lysosomes. Here an effective, selective, and safe lysosomal alkalizer is reported that can inhibit autophagy and suppress tumors in mice. The lysosomal alkalizer consists of an iron oxide core that generates hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in the presence of excessive H+ and hydrogen peroxide inside cancer lysosomes and cerium oxide satellites that capture and convert •OH into hydroxide ions. Alkalized lysosomes, which display impaired enzyme activity and autophagy, lead to cancer cell apoptosis. It is shown that the alkalizer effectively inhibits both local and systemic tumor growth and metastasis in mice. This work demonstrates that the intrinsic properties of nanoparticles can be harnessed to build effective lysosomal alkalizers that are both selective and safe.

Disruption of lysosomal nutrient sensing scaffold contributes to pathogenesis of a fatal neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:105641. [PMID: 38211816 PMCID: PMC10862020 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.105641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The ceroid lipofuscinosis neuronal 1 (CLN1) disease, formerly called infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, is a fatal hereditary neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder. This disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the CLN1 gene, encoding palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1). PPT1 catalyzes depalmitoylation of S-palmitoylated proteins for degradation and clearance by lysosomal hydrolases. Numerous proteins, especially in the brain, require dynamic S-palmitoylation (palmitoylation-depalmitoylation cycles) for endosomal trafficking to their destination. While 23 palmitoyl-acyl transferases in the mammalian genome catalyze S-palmitoylation, depalmitoylation is catalyzed by thioesterases such as PPT1. Despite these discoveries, the pathogenic mechanism of CLN1 disease has remained elusive. Here, we report that in the brain of Cln1-/- mice, which mimic CLN1 disease, the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex-1 (mTORC1) kinase is hyperactivated. The activation of mTORC1 by nutrients requires its anchorage to lysosomal limiting membrane by Rag GTPases and Ragulator complex. These proteins form the lysosomal nutrient sensing scaffold to which mTORC1 must attach to activate. We found that in Cln1-/- mice, two constituent proteins of the Ragulator complex (vacuolar (H+)-ATPase and Lamtor1) require dynamic S-palmitoylation for endosomal trafficking to the lysosomal limiting membrane. Intriguingly, Ppt1 deficiency in Cln1-/- mice misrouted these proteins to the plasma membrane disrupting the lysosomal nutrient sensing scaffold. Despite this defect, mTORC1 was hyperactivated via the IGF1/PI3K/Akt-signaling pathway, which suppressed autophagy contributing to neuropathology. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of PI3K/Akt suppressed mTORC1 activation, restored autophagy, and ameliorated neurodegeneration in Cln1-/- mice. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized role of Cln1/Ppt1 in regulating mTORC1 activation and suggest that IGF1/PI3K/Akt may be a targetable pathway for CLN1 disease.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine differences in the proteome and peptidome and zinc concentrations in the serum and tissues of chickens supplemented with a multi-strain probiotic and/or zinc glycine chelate in ovo. A total of 1400 fertilized broiler eggs (Ross × Ross 708) were divided into four groups: a control and experimental groups injected with a multi-strain probiotic, with zinc glycine chelate, and with the multi-strain probiotic and zinc glycine chelate. The proteome and peptidome were analyzed using SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF MS, and the zinc concentration was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. We showed that in ovo supplementation with zinc glycine chelate increased the Zn concentration in the serum and yolk sac at 12 h post-hatch. The results of SDS-PAGE and western blot confirmed the presence of Cu/Zn SOD in the liver and in the small and large intestines at 12 h and at 7 days after hatching in all groups. Analysis of the MALDI-TOF MS spectra of chicken tissues showed in all experimental groups the expression of proteins and peptides that regulate immune response, metabolic processes, growth, development, and reproduction.

Abstract
Endocytosis and endolysosomal trafficking are essential for almost all aspects of physiological functions of eukaryotic cells. As our understanding on these membrane trafficking events are mostly from studies in yeast and cultured mammalian cells, one challenge is to systematically evaluate the findings from these cell-based studies in multicellular organisms under physiological settings. One potentially valuable in vivo system to address this challenge is the vitellogenic oocyte in Drosophila, which undergoes extensive endocytosis by Yolkless (Yl), a low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), to uptake extracellular lipoproteins into oocytes and package them into a specialized lysosome, the yolk granule, for storage and usage during later development. However, by now there is still a lack of sufficient understanding on the molecular and cellular processes that control yolk granule biogenesis. Here, by creating genome-tagging lines for Yl receptor and analyzing its distribution in vitellogenic oocytes, we observed a close association of different endosomal structures with distinct phosphoinositides and actin cytoskeleton dynamics. We further showed that Rab5 and Rab11, but surprisingly not Rab4 and Rab7, are essential for yolk granules biogenesis. Instead, we uncovered evidence for a potential role of Rab7 in actin regulation and observed a notable overlap of Rab4 and Rab7, two Rab GTPases that have long been proposed to have distinct spatial distribution and functional roles during endolysosomal trafficking. Through a small-scale RNA interference (RNAi) screen on a set of reported Rab5 effectors, we showed that yolk granule biogenesis largely follows the canonical endolysosomal trafficking and maturation processes. Further, the data suggest that the RAVE/V-ATPase complexes function upstream of or in parallel with Rab7, and are involved in earlier stages of endosomal trafficking events. Together, our study provides s novel insights into endolysosomal pathways and establishes vitellogenic oocyte in Drosophila as an excellent in vivo model for dissecting the highly complex membrane trafficking events in metazoan.

Abstract
Autophagy is an essential quality control mechanism for maintaining organellar functions in eukaryotic cells. Defective autophagy in pancreatic beta cells has been shown to be involved in the progression of diabetes through impaired insulin secretion under glucolipotoxic stress. The underlying mechanism reveals the pathologic role of the hyperactivation of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), which inhibits lysosomal biogenesis and autophagic processes. Moreover, accumulating evidence suggests that oxidative stress induces Ca2+ depletion in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytosolic Ca2+ overload, which may contribute to mTOR activation in perilysosomal microdomains, leading to autophagic defects and β-cell failure due to lipotoxicity. This review delineates the antagonistic regulation of autophagic flux by mTOR and AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) at the lysosomal membrane, and both of these molecules could be activated by perilysosomal calcium signaling. However, aberrant and persistent Ca2+ elevation upon lipotoxic stress increases mTOR activity and suppresses autophagy. Therefore, normalization of autophagy is an attractive therapeutic strategy for patients with β-cell failure and diabetes.

Abstract
An estimated 240 fungicides are presently in use, but the direct targets for the majority remain elusive, constraining fungicide development and efficient resistance monitoring. In this study, we found that Pcα-actinin knockout did not influence the sensitivity of Phytophthora capsici to fluopicolide, which is a notable oomycete inhibitor. Using a combination of Bulk Segregant Analysis Sequencing and Drug Affinity Responsive Target Stability (DARTS) assays, the vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit a (PcVHA-a) was pinpointed as the target protein of fluopicolide. We also confirmed four distinct point mutations in PcVHA-a responsible for fluopicolide resistance in P. capsici through site-directed mutagenesis. Molecular docking, ATPase activity assays, and a DARTS assay suggested a fluopicolide-PcVHA-a interaction. Sequence analysis and further molecular docking validated the specificity of fluopicolide for oomycetes or fish. These findings support the claim that PcVHA-a is the target of fluopicolide, proposing vacuolar H+-ATPase as a promising target for novel fungicide development.

Abstract
Lysosomes are active sites to integrate cellular metabolism and signal transduction. A collection of proteins associated with the lysosome mediate these metabolic and signaling functions. Both lysosomal metabolism and lysosomal signaling have been linked to longevity regulation; however, how lysosomes adjust their protein composition to accommodate this regulation remains unclear. Using deep proteomic profiling, we systemically profiled lysosome-associated proteins linked with four different longevity mechanisms. We discovered the lysosomal recruitment of AMP-activated protein kinase and nucleoporin proteins and their requirements for longevity in response to increased lysosomal lipolysis. Through comparative proteomic analyses of lysosomes from different tissues and labeled with different markers, we further elucidated lysosomal heterogeneity across tissues as well as the increased enrichment of the Ragulator complex on Cystinosin-positive lysosomes. Together, this work uncovers lysosomal proteome heterogeneity across multiple scales and provides resources for understanding the contribution of lysosomal protein dynamics to signal transduction, organelle crosstalk, and organism longevity.

Virus Res 2024; 339:199260.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a contagious intestinal disease caused by α-coronavirus porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). At present, no effective vaccine is available to prevent the disease. Therefore, research for novel antivirals is important. This study aimed to identify the antiviral mechanism of Veratramine (VAM), which actively inhibits PEDV replication with a 50 % inhibitory concentration (IC50) of ∼5 µM. Upon VAM treatment, both PEDV-nucleocapsid (N) protein level and virus titer decreased significantly. The time-of-addition assay results showed that VAM could inhibit PEDV replication by blocking viral entry. Importantly, VAM could inhibit PEDV-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) activity and further suppress micropinocytosis, which is required for PEDV entry. In addition, PI3K inhibitor LY294002 showed anti-PEDV activity by blocking viral entry as well. Taken together, VAM possessed anti-PEDV properties against the entry stage of PEDV by inhibiting the macropinocytosis pathway by suppressing the PI3K/Akt pathway. VAM could be considered as a lead compound for the development of anti-PEDV drugs and may be used during the viral entry stage of PEDV infection.

Abstract
H subunit of V-ATPase (ATP6V1H) is specifically expressed in osteoclasts and its deficiency lead to osteoporosis. Our group previously found four intronic SNPs of ATP6V1H related to reduced bone mineral density, but the mechanisms was not clear. In this study, we found that the above four SNPs were located at lncRNA lnc-TCEA1-3 by using bioinformatics analysis. We further detected the function of lnc-TCEA1-3 on regulating ATP6V1H and osteoclast function using Atp6v1h knockout mice, lentivirus transfection and qPCR analysis. Over expression of lnc-TCEA1-3 up regulated the expression of ATP6V1H in HEK293 cells, HOS cells and primarily cultured osteoclasts, and increased the number of primarily cultured osteoclasts. In addition, over expression of lnc-TCEA1-3 exerted distinct effect on two transcripts of ATP6V1H in HEK293, HOS and osteoclasts. This study will facilitate the in-depth analysis of the effects of ATP6V1H on bone diseases, and discover new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysosomal ion channels are proposed therapeutic targets for a number of diseases, including those driven by NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation. Here, the specific role of the lysosomal big conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channel was evaluated in a silica model of inflammation in murine macrophages. A specific-inhibitor of BK channel function, paxilline (PAX), and activators NS11021 and NS1619 were utilized to evaluate the role of lysosomal BK channel activity in silica-induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and NLRP3 inflammasome activation resulting in IL-1β release. METHODS Murine macrophages were exposed in vitro to crystalline silica following pretreatment with BK channel inhibitors or activators and LMP, cell death, and IL-1β release were assessed. In addition, the effect of PAX treatment on silica-induced cytosolic K+ decrease was measured. Finally, the effects of BK channel modifiers on lysosomal pH, proteolytic activity, and cholesterol transport were also evaluated. RESULTS PAX pretreatment significantly attenuated silica-induced cell death and IL-1β release. PAX caused an increase in lysosomal pH and decrease in lysosomal proteolytic activity. PAX also caused a significant accumulation of lysosomal cholesterol. BK channel activators NS11021 and NS1619 increased silica-induced cell death and IL-1β release. BK channel activation also caused a decrease in lysosomal pH and increase in lysosomal proteolytic function as well as a decrease in cholesterol accumulation. CONCLUSION Taken together, these results demonstrate that inhibiting lysosomal BK channel activity with PAX effectively reduced silica-induced cell death and IL-1β release. Blocking cytosolic K+ entry into the lysosome prevented LMP through the decrease of lysosomal acidification and proteolytic function and increase in lysosomal cholesterol.
