Previous unbiased proteomic studies of Lewy bodies from pa- tient brains have shown an enrichment of Hsc70, DnaJB1, and Hsp110 (34), suggesting that the disaggregase does recognize misfolded α-synuclein but is insufficient to prevent its aggregation. Here we show that overexpression of Hsp110 both in mammalian culture and in transgenic mice (31) ameliorates α-synuclein ag- gregation in vivo. We also observe strong protective effects of Hsp110 overexpression in α-synuclein spread. Together, these experiments strongly support an ameliorative role for Hsp110 in vivo and indicate that enhancement of Hsp110 levels could be of benefit for PD and other synucleinopathies. Results Hsp110 Overexpression Ameliorates α-Synuclein Aggregation in Mammalian Culture. To establish that the α-synuclein fibril- disaggregase complex functions in a cellular context, we utilized an α-synuclein seeding assay in HEK293T cells that produces visible cytosolic aggregates (35, 36). First, HEK293T cells were transfected with human α-synuclein–GFP with or without Hsp110 (HspA4L/Apg1/Hsph3) constructs, which results in a 51.6- ± 6.1- fold increase in α-synuclein and a 3.7- ± 0.51-fold increase in Hsp110 protein levels (Fig. 1 B and C). Following Hsp110 and α-synuclein–GFP overexpression, aggregated recombinant human untagged α-synuclein seeds (Fig. 1A) were added to the media to induce cytosolic aggregation. Cells were washed and cellular α-synuclein aggregate levels were assessed by Western blotting (35, 36). Consistent with our previous results (36), the addition of NEUROSCIENCE α-synuclein seeds resulted in a significant amount of high molec- ular weight (HMW) α-synuclein by Western blot (Fig. 1 B and D). When Hsp110 was co-overexpressed, these HMW α-synuclein species were significantly reduced by ∼50% (1.0 versus 0.48; P = 0.0003). Next, we immunostained the treated HEK293T cells and assessed the effects of Hsp110 overexpression on GFP-positive aggregates by confocal microscopy. We found that

  • Defining Functional Interactions During Biogenesis of Epithelial Junctions

Erasmus1,*, S. Bruche1,*,w, L. Pizarro1,2,*, N. Maimari1,3,*, T. Poggioli1,w, C. Tomlinson4,J.Lees5, I. Zalivina1,w, A. Wheeler1,w, A. Alberts6, A. Russo2 & V.M.M. Braga1 In spite of extensive recent progress, a comprehensive understanding of how actin cytoskeleton remodelling supports stable junctions remains to be established. Here we design a platform that integrates actin functions with optimized phenotypic clustering and identify new cytoskeletal proteins, their functional hierarchy and pathways that modulate E-cadherin adhesion. Depletion of EEF1A, an actin bundling protein, increases E-cadherin levels at junctions without a corresponding reinforcement of cell–cell contacts. This unexpected result reflects a more dynamic and mobile junctional actin in EEF1A-depleted cells. A partner for EEF1A in cadherin contact maintenance is the formin DIAPH2, which interacts with EEF1A. In contrast, depletion of either the endocytic regulator TRIP10 or the Rho GTPase activator VAV2 reduces E-cadherin levels at junctions. TRIP10 binds to and requires VAV2 function for its junctional localization. Overall, we present new conceptual insights on junction stabilization, which integrate known and novel pathways with impact for epithelial morphogenesis, homeostasis and diseases. 1 National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 2 Computing Department, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 3 Bioengineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 4 Department of Surgery & Cancer, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK.

Abstract Polyglutamine expansion mutations in specific proteins underlie the pathogenesis of a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington’s disease, spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy, and several spinocerebellar ataxias. The different mutant proteins share ubiquitous expression and abnormal proteostasis, with misfolding and aggregation, but nevertheless evoke distinct patterns of neurodegeneration.

Molecular chaperones are key components in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and survival, not only during stress but also under optimal growth conditions. Folding of nascent polypeptides is supported by molecular chaperones, which avoid the formation of aggregates by preventing nonspecific interactions and aid, when necessary, the translocation of proteins to their correct intracellular localization. Furthermore, when proteins are damaged, molecular chaperones may also facilitate their refolding or, in the case of irreparable proteins, their removal by the protein degradation machinery of the cell. During their digenetic lifestyle, Leishmania parasites encounter and adapt to harsh environmental conditions, such as nutrient deficiency, hypoxia, oxidative stress, changing pH, and shifts in temperature; all these factors are potential triggers of cellular stress. We summarize here our current knowledge on the main types of molecular chaperones in Leishmania and their functions.

The ceroid accumulation primarily affects the brain, leading to neuronal loss and progressive neurodegeneration. Although several causative genes have been identified (DNAJC5, CLN6, CTSF, GRN, 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: CLN1, CLN5, ATP13A2), the genetic underpinnings of ANCL in some families remain unknown. Here we report one family with autosomal dominant (AD) Kufs disease caused by a 30 bp in-frame duplication in DNAJC5, encoding the cysteine-string protein alpha (CSPα). This variant leads to a duplication of the central core motif of the cysteine-string domain of CSPα and affects palmitoylation-dependent CSPα sorting in cultured neuronal cells similarly to two previously described CSPα variants, p.(Leu115Arg) and p.(Leu116del). Interestingly, the duplication was not detected initially by standard Sanger sequencing due to a preferential PCR amplification of the shorter wild-type allele and allelic dropout of the mutated DNAJC5 allele.

Received 18 April, 2015; Accepted 27 July, 2015 Heat shock proteins play a critical role in the development of thermotolerance and protection from cellular damage associated with heat stresses. The study was undertaken to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Hsp90ab1 gene with thermo-physiological parameters viz, respiration rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), heat tolerance coefficient (HTC) and total milk yield in Sahiwal cows. The RR and RT were recorded once in different seasons, viz., winter, spring, and summer, at the probable extreme hot hours of the day. Polymorphism of Hsp90ab1 gene, evaluated by comparative sequencing revealed five SNPs, viz., T17871421C, C17871485del, C17872061T, T17872112C and T17872148G. Individuals with CT genotype recorded significantly (P≤0.01) lower RT (°C) than CC genotype in Sahiwal cows. The CT genotype animals also had better production parameter in terms of total milk yield (TMY) (P<0.01). Therefore, our results inferred that CT genotype in Sahiwal cows may be an aid to selection and breeding to enhance thermo-tolerance. Key words: Hsp90ab1, SNPs, respiration rate, rectal temperature, total milk yield, Sahiwal.

These functional changes growth. However, the posttranscriptional mechanisms that resulted from Mirc11 silencing ubiquitin modifiers A20, regulate NK cell functions are not fully understood. Here, we Cbl-b, and Itch, allowing TRAF6-dependent activation of define the role of the microRNA cluster known as Mirc11 NF-kB and AP-1. Lack of Mirc11 caused increased translation (which includes miRNA-23a, miRNA-24a, and miRNA-27a) of A20, Cbl-b, and Itch proteins, resulting in deubiquityla- in NK cell–mediated proinflammatory responses. Absence tion of scaffolding K63 and addition of degradative K48 of Mirc11 did not alter the development or the antitumor moieties on TRAF6. Collectively, our results describe a func- cytotoxicity of NK cells. However, loss of Mirc11 reduced tion of Mirc11 that regulates generation of proinflammatory generation of proinflammatory factors in vitro and interferon- cytokines from effector lymphocytes. Introduction TRAF2 and TRAF6 promote K63-linked polyubiquitination that is required for subcellular localization of the substrates (20), Natural killer (NK) cells generate proinflammatory factors and and subsequent activation of NF-kB (21) and AP-1 (22).
