Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Assembly/Folding and Targeting V-Atpase A-Subunit Isoforms to Their Functional Destinations Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Assembly/Folding and Targeting V-ATPase a-subunit Isoforms to their Functional Destinations By Sally Esmail A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Dentistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Sally Esmail 2017 ii Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Assembly/Folding and Targeting V-ATPase a-subunit Isoforms to their Functional Destinations Sally Esmail Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Dentistry University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Vacuolar H+-ATPases (V-ATPases) are proton pumps distributed across membranes of specialized cells and luminal compartments. V-ATPases in the plasma membrane of osteoclasts are responsible for acidifying the surface of bone, essential for bone resorption. V-ATPases in the plasma membrane of metastatic cells acidify the extracellular space to facilitate invasion. The V-ATPase a subunit has four isoforms (a1-a4) that localize to distinct compartments. In invasive cancer, plasma membrane expression of a3 and a4 are required for metastasis while a3 is specific for the plasma membrane of osteoclasts. Thus, both isoforms are potential therapeutic targets. Sequences of a isoforms reveal putative N-glycosylation sites within extracellular loop II (ELII). Upon PNGase F and Endo H treatment, all a isoforms showed faster mobility on SDS- PAGE indicating the presence of N-linked oligosaccharide. Using site-directed mutagenesis, I showed that deglycosylated a1–a4 had shorter half-lifes, more rapid proteasomal degradation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention, defective Golgi trafficking, and an inability to associate with ER assembly factor, VMA21. In addition, deglycosylated a4 showed defective cell-surface iii expression and assembly. Cutis laxa type II, osteopetrosis and distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) result from mutations within the a2, a3 and a4 subunits, respectively. To further map critical domains essential for V-ATPase structure and function, I studied human disease-causing missense mutations that affect conserved residues of a isoforms, specifically: a2P405L, a4R449H and a4G820R. a4R449H and a2P405L were unstable and degraded by the proteasomal pathway. The data also indicated that a2-P405 is required for Golgi trafficking while a4-R449 is essential for ER exit and cell-surface expression. a4R449H shows increased association with the assembly factor, VMA21. Molecular modeling of a4 predicts a4G820R would interfere with proton translocation through the cytoplasmic half channel formed by the a subunit. This work enhances our knowledge of a isoforms structure and informs possible therapeutic interventions against cancer metastasis and lytic bone diseases. iv Acknowledgments First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Morris F Manolson for giving me the chance to join his lab and the tremendous support, motivation and guidance during the course of my PhD program. His guidance and scientific expertise greatly helped me in all aspects of my PhD research and writing of this thesis. I have been extremely lucky to have a supervisor who cared so much about my research. I would also like to extend my gratitude to my co-supervisor Prof. Reinhart A.F. Reithmeier; his expertise and deep knowledge of the research subject inspired me. He helped me to conceptualize and analyze all the data presented in this thesis. His careful and critical editing positively impacted the production of this thesis. I feel exceedingly lucky and could not have imagined better advisors. Completing this work would have been more difficult were it not for the support of Dr. Norbert Kartner. His critical thinking and guidance helped me in designing all the experiments and in interpretation of data. I am deeply thankful to his scientific expertise and professional academic writing skills, without which I would not have publishable research. I would like to thank my thesis committee member Prof. Boris Hinz for his constructive criticism, insightful comments and encouragement, but also for the hard questions which encouraged me to expand my horizons from various research perspectives. I must also thank all lab members of the Manolson’s lab and the Reithmeier’s lab, with special thanks to Dr. Yeqi Yao and Jing Li for all their help and technical support. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends who always believed in me and encouraged me to come over to Canada to pursue my research path and remained patient and positive. v Table of Contents Acknowledgments.......................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................... iv Original Contribution by author ..................................................................................................... ix List of Figures and Tables.............................................................................................................. xi Abbreviations ............................................................................................................................... xiii 1.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • 4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

  • ELMO1 Signaling Is a Promoter of Osteoclast Function and Bone Loss ✉ Sanja Arandjelovic 1 , Justin S
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25239-6 OPEN ELMO1 signaling is a promoter of osteoclast function and bone loss ✉ Sanja Arandjelovic 1 , Justin S. A.

Ravichandran 1,3 Osteoporosis affects millions worldwide and is often caused by osteoclast induced bone loss. 1234567890():,; Here, we identify the cytoplasmic protein ELMO1 as an important ‘signaling node’ in osteoclasts. We note that ELMO1 SNPs associate with bone abnormalities in humans, and that ELMO1 deletion in mice reduces bone loss in four in vivo models: osteoprotegerin deficiency, ovariectomy, and two types of inflammatory arthritis. Our transcriptomic analyses coupled with CRISPR/Cas9 genetic deletion identify Elmo1 associated regulators of osteoclast function, including cathepsin G and myeloperoxidase. Further, we define the ‘ELMO1 inter- actome’ in osteoclasts via proteomics and reveal proteins required for bone degradation. ELMO1 also contributes to osteoclast sealing zone on bone-like surfaces and distribution of osteoclast-specific proteases. Finally, a 3D structure-based ELMO1 inhibitory peptide reduces bone resorption in wild type osteoclasts. Collectively, we identify ELMO1 as a signaling hub that regulates osteoclast function and bone loss, with relevance to osteoporosis and arthritis. 1 Center for Cell Clearance, Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology and Carter Immunology Center, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA. 2 Inova Schar Cancer Institute, Inova Center for Personalized Health, Fairfax, VA, USA. 3 Inflammation Research Centre, VIB, and the Department of Biomedical Molecular Biology, Ghent Univeristy, Ghent, Belgium.

  • Epigenetic Mechanisms Are Involved in the Oncogenic Properties of ZNF518B in Colorectal Cancer
    Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the oncogenic properties of ZNF518B in colorectal cancer Francisco Gimeno-Valiente, Ángela L. Riffo-Campos, Luis Torres, Noelia Tarazona, Valentina Gambardella, Andrés Cervantes, Gerardo López-Rodas, Luis Franco and Josefa Castillo SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS 1. Selection of genomic sequences for ChIP analysis To select the sequences for ChIP analysis in the five putative target genes, namely, PADI3, ZDHHC2, RGS4, EFNA5 and KAT2B, the genomic region corresponding to the gene was downloaded from Ensembl. Then, zoom was applied to see in detail the promoter, enhancers and regulatory sequences. The details for HCT116 cells were then recovered and the target sequences for factor binding examined. Obviously, there are not data for ZNF518B, but special attention was paid to the target sequences of other zinc-finger containing factors. Finally, the regions that may putatively bind ZNF518B were selected and primers defining amplicons spanning such sequences were searched out. Supplementary Figure S3 gives the location of the amplicons used in each gene. 2.

Here, we used LC-MS/MS to profile the proteome of human urinary exosomes. Overall, the analysis identified 1132 proteins unambiguously, including 177 that are represented on the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database of disease-related genes, suggesting that exosome analysis is a potential approach to discover urinary biomarkers. We extended the proteomic analysis to phospho- proteomic profiling using neutral loss scanning, and this yielded multiple novel phosphorylation sites, including serine-811 in the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl co-transporter, NCC. To demonstrate the potential use of exosome analysis to identify a genetic renal disease, we carried out immunoblotting of exosomes from urine samples of patients with a clinical diagnosis of Bartter syndrome type I, showing an absence of the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter 2, NKCC2.
