The Mtorc1-4E-BP-Eif4e Axis Controls De Novo Bcl6 Protein Synthesis in T Cells and Systemic Autoimmunity ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00348-3 OPEN The mTORC1-4E-BP-eIF4E axis controls de novo Bcl6 protein synthesis in T cells and systemic autoimmunity Woelsung Yi1, Sanjay Gupta1, Edd Ricker2, Michela Manni1, Rolf Jessberger3, Yurii Chinenov4,5, Henrik Molina6 & Alessandra B. Pernis1,2,7 Post-transcriptional modifications can control protein abundance, but the extent to which these alterations contribute to the expression of T helper (TH) lineage-defining factors is unknown. Tight regulation of Bcl6 expression, an essential transcription factor for T follicular helper (TFH) cells, is critical as aberrant TFH cell expansion is associated with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here we show that lack of the SLE risk variant Def6 results in deregulation of Bcl6 protein synthesis in T cells as a result of enhanced activation of the mTORC1–4E-BP–eIF4E axis, secondary to aberrant assembly of a raptor–p62–TRAF6 complex. Proteomic analysis reveals that this pathway selectively controls the abundance of a subset of proteins. Rapamycin or raptor deletion ameliorates the aberrant TFH cell expansion in mice lacking Def6. Thus deregulation of mTORC1-dependent pathways controlling protein synthesis can result in T-cell dysfunction, indicating a mechanism by which mTORC1 can promote autoimmunity. 1 Autoimmunity and Inflammation Program, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 East 70th Street, New York, New York 10021 USA. 2 Graduate Program in Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis, Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, 1300 York Avenue, Box 65, New York, New York 10021 USA. 3 Institute of Physiological Chemistry, Technische Universität Dresden, Fiedlerstrasse 42, MTZ, 01307 Dresden, Germany. 4 Arthritis and Tissue Degeneration Program, Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 East 70th Street, New York, New York 10021 USA. 5 David Z.

At first, it was thought that the regulation of gene expression particularly occurs at the level of transcription By various transcription factors. Recent discoveries have shown the vital role of gene regulation at the level of RNA also known as post-transcriptional gene regulation (PTGR). Apart from non-coding RNAs e.g. micro RNAs, various RNA Binding proteins (RBPs) play essential role in PTGR. RBPs have been implicated in different stages of mRNA life cycle ranging from splicing, processing, transport, localization and decay. In last 20 years studies have shown the presence of hundreds of RBPs across eukaryotic systems many of which are widely conserved. Given the rising numBer of RBPs and their link to human diseases it is quite evident that RBPs have major role in cellular processes and their regulation.

We 14 show that the PIC stimulates the ATPase of eIF4A, indicating that the factor acts in association with initiating ribosomal 15 complexes rather than exclusively on isolated mRNAs. ATP hydrolysis by eIF4A accelerates the rate of recruitment for 16 all mRNAs tested, regardless of their degree of secondary structure, indicating that the factor plays important roles 17 beyond unwinding mRNA structure. Structures in the 5'-UTR and 3' of the start codon synergistically inhibit mRNA 18 recruitment, in a manner relieved by eIF4A, suggesting that the factor resolves global mRNA structure rather than just 19 secondary structures in the 5'-UTR.

  • Transcriptional and Post-Transcriptional Regulation of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter Expression
    Transcriptional and Post-transcriptional Regulation of ATP-binding Cassette Transporter Expression by Aparna Chhibber DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pbarmacogenomies in the Copyright 2014 by Aparna Chhibber ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Deanna Kroetz. More than just a research advisor, Deanna has clearly made it a priority to guide her students to become better scientists, and I am grateful for the countless hours she has spent editing papers, developing presentations, discussing research, and so much more. I would not have made it this far without her support and guidance. My thesis committee has provided valuable advice through the years. Dr. Nadav Ahituv in particular has been a source of support from my first year in the graduate program as my academic advisor, qualifying exam committee chair, and finally thesis committee member. Dr. Kathy Giacomini graciously stepped in as a member of my thesis committee in my 3rd year, and Dr. Steven Brenner provided valuable input as thesis committee member in my 2nd year. My labmates over the past five years have been incredible colleagues and friends. Dr. Svetlana Markova first welcomed me into the lab and taught me numerous laboratory techniques, and has always been willing to act as a sounding board. Michael Martin has been my partner-in-crime in the lab from the beginning, and has made my days in lab fly by. Dr. Yingmei Lui has made the lab run smoothly, and has always been willing to jump in to help me at a moment’s notice.
