  • Cytoplasmic E2f4 Forms Organizing Centres for Initiation of Centriole Amplification During Multiciliogenesis
    ARTICLE Received 13 Feb 2017 | Accepted 8 May 2017 | Published 4 Jul 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15857 OPEN Cytoplasmic E2f4 forms organizing centres for initiation of centriole amplification during multiciliogenesis Munemasa Mori1, Renin Hazan2, Paul S. Danielian2, John E. Mahoney1,w, Huijun Li1, Jining Lu1, Emily S. Miller2, Xueliang Zhu3, Jacqueline A. Lees2 & Wellington V. Cardoso1 Abnormal development of multiciliated cells is a hallmark of a variety of human conditions associated with chronic airway diseases, hydrocephalus and infertility. Multiciliogenesis requires both activation of a specialized transcriptional program and assembly of cytoplasmic structures for large-scale centriole amplification that generates basal bodies. It remains unclear, however, what mechanism initiates formation of these multiprotein complexes in epithelial progenitors. Here we show that this is triggered by nucleocytoplasmic translocation of the transcription factor E2f4. After inducing a transcriptional program of centriole biogenesis, E2f4 forms apical cytoplasmic organizing centres for assembly and nucleation of deuterosomes. Using genetically altered mice and E2F4 mutant proteins we demonstrate that centriole amplification is crucially dependent on these organizing centres and that, without cytoplasmic E2f4, deuterosomes are not assembled, halting multiciliogenesis. Thus, E2f4 integrates nuclear and previously unsuspected cytoplasmic events of centriole amplification, providing new perspectives for the understanding of normal ciliogenesis, ciliopathies and cancer. 1 Columbia Center for Human Development, Department of Medicine, Pulmonary Allergy Critical Care, Columbia University Medical Center, New York City, New York 10032, USA. 2 David H.

  • Eutherian Adaptation from a TRAK-Like Protein, Conserved Gene Promoter Elements, and Localization in the Human Intestine Amanda L
    Lumsden et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:214 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0780-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Huntingtin-associated protein 1: Eutherian adaptation from a TRAK-like protein, conserved gene promoter elements, and localization in the human intestine Amanda L. Lumsden1*, Richard L. Young2,3, Nektaria Pezos2,3 and Damien J. Keating1,2* Abstract Background: Huntingtin-associated Protein 1 (HAP1) is expressed in neurons and endocrine cells, and is critical for postnatal survival in mice. HAP1 shares a conserved “HAP1_N” domain with TRAfficking Kinesin proteins TRAK1 and TRAK2 (vertebrate), Milton (Drosophila) and T27A3.1 (C. elegans). HAP1, TRAK1 and TRAK2 have a degree of common function, particularly regarding intracellular receptor trafficking. However, TRAK1, TRAK2 and Milton (which have a “Milt/TRAK” domain that is absent in human and rodent HAP1) differ in function to HAP1 in that they are mitochondrial transport proteins, while HAP1 has emerging roles in starvation response. We have investigated HAP1 function by examining its evolution, and upstream gene promoter sequences. We performed phylogenetic analyses of the HAP1_N domain family of proteins, incorporating HAP1 orthologues (identified by genomic synteny) from 5 vertebrate classes, and also searched the Dictyostelium proteome for a common ancestor. Computational analyses of mammalian HAP1 gene promoters were performed to identify phylogenetically conserved regulatory motifs. Results: We found that as recently as marsupials, HAP1 contained a Milt/TRAK domain and was more similar to TRAK1 and TRAK2 than to eutherian HAP1. The Milt/TRAK domain likely arose post multicellularity, as it was absent in the Dictyostelium proteome. It was lost from HAP1 in the eutherian lineage, and also from T27A3.1 in C.

We show that ablation of pericentriolar material 1 in the mouse leads to progressive ciliary, anatomical, psychomotor, and cognitive abnormalities. RNAseq reveals changes in amine- and G-protein coupled receptor pathways. The physiological relevance of this phenotype is supported by decreased available dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) levels and the failure of antipsychotic drugs to rescue adult behavioral defects. Immunoprecipitations show an association with Pcm1 and D2Rs. Finally, we sequence PCM1 in two human cohorts with severe schizophrenia. Systematic modeling of all discovered rare alleles by zebrafish in vivo complementation reveals an enrichment for pathogenic alleles. Our data emphasize a role for the pericentriolar material in the postnatal brain, with progressive degenerative ciliary and behavioral phenotypes; and they support a contributory role for PCM1 in some individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. 1 Department of Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA.

  • Primary Cilia and Autophagic Dysfunction in Huntington&Rsquo
    Cell Death and Differentiation (2015) 22, 1413–1424 & 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1350-9047/15 www.nature.com/cdd Review Primary cilia and autophagic dysfunction in Huntington’s disease M Kaliszewski1, AB Knott1 and E Bossy-Wetzel*1 Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited, neurodegenerative disorder caused by a single-gene mutation: a CAG expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene that results in production of a mutated protein, mutant HTT, with a polyglutamine tail (polyQ-HTT). Although the molecular pathways of polyQ-HTT toxicity are not fully understood, because protein misfolding and aggregation are central features of HD, it has long been suspected that cellular housekeeping processes such as autophagy might be important to disease pathology. Indeed, multiple lines of research have identified abnormal autophagy in HD, characterized generally by increased autophagic induction and inefficient clearance of substrates. To date, the origin of autophagic dysfunction in HD remains unclear and the search for actors involved continues. To that end, recent studies have suggested a bidirectional relationship between autophagy and primary cilia, signaling organelles of most mammalian cells. Interestingly, primary cilia structure is defective in HD, suggesting a potential link between autophagic dysfunction, primary cilia and HD pathogenesis. In addition, because polyQ-HTT also accumulates in primary cilia, the possibility exists that primary cilia might play additional roles in HD: perhaps by disrupting signaling pathways or acting as a reservoir for secretion and propagation of toxic, misfolded polyQ-HTT fragments. Here, we review recent research suggesting potential links between autophagy, primary cilia and HD and speculate on possible pathogenic mechanisms and future directions for the field.

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi: 10.1242/jcs.114918 Summary Primary cilia, which emanate from the cell surface, exhibit assembly and disassembly dynamics along the progression of the cell cycle. However, the mechanism that links ciliary dynamics and cell cycle regulation remains elusive. In the present study, we report that Polo- like kinase 1 (Plk1), one of the key cell cycle regulators, which regulate centrosome maturation, bipolar spindle assembly and cytokinesis, acts as a pivotal player that connects ciliary dynamics and cell cycle regulation. We found that the kinase activity of centrosome enriched Plk1 is required for primary cilia disassembly before mitotic entry, wherein Plk1 interacts with and activates histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) to promote ciliary deacetylation and resorption. Furthermore, we showed that pericentriolar material 1 (PCM1) acts upstream of Plk1 and recruits the kinase to pericentriolar matrix (PCM) in a dynein-dynactin complex-dependent manner. This process coincides with the primary cilia disassembly dynamics at the onset of mitosis, as depletion of PCM1 by shRNA dramatically disrupted the pericentriolar accumulation of Plk1.

  • Combinatorial Strategies Using CRISPR/Cas9 for Gene Mutagenesis in Adult Mice
    Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Larry S. Zweifel, Chair Sheri J. Mizumori G. Stanley McKnight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Pharmacology 2 © Copyright 2019 Avery C. Hunker 3 University of Washington ABSTRACT Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Larry Zweifel Department of Pharmacology A major challenge to understanding how genes modulate complex behaviors is the inability to restrict genetic manipulations to defined cell populations or circuits. To circumvent this, we created a simple strategy for limiting gene knockout to specific cell populations using a viral-mediated, conditional CRISPR/SaCas9 system in combination with intersectional genetic strategies. A small single guide RNA (sgRNA) directs Staphylococcus aureus CRISPR-associated protein (SaCas9) to unique sites on DNA in a Cre-dependent manner resulting in double strand breaks and gene mutagenesis in vivo. To validate this technique we targeted nine different genes of diverse function in distinct cell types in mice and performed an array of analyses to confirm gene mutagenesis and subsequent protein loss, including IHC, cell-type specific DNA sequencing, electrophysiology, Western blots, and behavior. We show that these vectors are as efficient as conventional conditional gene knockout and provide a viable alternative to complex genetic crosses. This strategy provides additional benefits of 4 targeting gene mutagenesis to cell types previously difficult to isolate, and the ability to target genes in specific neural projections for gene inactivation.

  • Tethering of an E3 Ligase by PCM1 Regulates the Abundance Of
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Tethering of an E3 ligase by PCM1 regulates the abundance of centrosomal KIAA0586/Talpid3 and promotes ciliogenesis Lei Wang†, Kwanwoo Lee†, Ryan Malonis, Irma Sanchez, Brian D Dynlacht* Department of Pathology, New York University Cancer Institute, New York University School of Medicine, New York, United States Abstract To elucidate the role of centriolar satellites in ciliogenesis, we deleted the gene encoding the PCM1 protein, an integral component of satellites. PCM1 null human cells show marked defects in ciliogenesis, precipitated by the loss of specific proteins from satellites and their relocation to centrioles. We find that an amino-terminal domain of PCM1 can restore ciliogenesis and satellite localization of certain proteins, but not others, pinpointing unique roles for PCM1 and a group of satellite proteins in cilium assembly. Remarkably, we find that PCM1 is essential for tethering the E3 ligase, Mindbomb1 (Mib1), to satellites. In the absence of PCM1, Mib1 destabilizes Talpid3 through poly-ubiquitylation and suppresses cilium assembly. Loss of PCM1 blocks ciliogenesis by abrogating recruitment of ciliary vesicles associated with the Talpid3-binding protein, Rab8, which can be reversed by inactivating Mib1. Thus, PCM1 promotes ciliogenesis by tethering a key E3 ligase to satellites and restricting it from centrioles. DOI: 10.7554/eLife.12950.001 *For correspondence: Brian.

We identify interactions between PCM1, Cep72, and Cep290 and find that disruption of centriolar satellites by overexpression of Cep72 results in specific aggregation of these proteins and the BBSome component BBS4. During ciliogenesis, BBS4 relocalizes from cen- triolar satellites to the primary cilium. This relocalization occurs normally in the absence of centriolar satellites (PCM1 depletion) but is impaired by depletion of Cep290 or Cep72, re- sulting in defective ciliary recruitment of the BBSome subunit BBS8. We propose that Cep290 and Cep72 in centriolar satellites regulate the ciliary localization of BBS4, which in turn affects assembly and recruitment of the BBSome.

Perutz Laboratories, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Abstract Primary microcephaly (MCPH) associated proteins CDK5RAP2, CEP152, WDR62 and CEP63 colocalize at the centrosome. We found that they interact to promote centriole duplication and form a hierarchy in which each is required to localize another to the centrosome, with CDK5RAP2 at the apex, and CEP152, WDR62 and CEP63 at sequentially lower positions. MCPH proteins interact with distinct centriolar satellite proteins; CDK5RAP2 interacts with SPAG5 and CEP72, CEP152 with CEP131, WDR62 with MOONRAKER, and CEP63 with CEP90 and CCDC14. These satellite proteins localize their cognate MCPH interactors to centrosomes and also promote centriole duplication. *For correspondence: Jeremy.

  • Strain-Specific Differences in Brain Gene Expression in a Hydrocephalic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Strain-specifc diferences in brain gene expression in a hydrocephalic mouse model with motile cilia Received: 18 June 2018 Accepted: 22 August 2018 dysfunction Published: xx xx xxxx Casey W. McKenzie1, Claudia C. Preston2, Rozzy Finn1, Kathleen M. Eyster3, Randolph S. Faustino2,4 & Lance Lee1,4 Congenital hydrocephalus results from cerebrospinal fuid accumulation in the ventricles of the brain and causes severe neurological damage, but the underlying causes are not well understood. It is associated with several syndromes, including primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), which is caused by dysfunction of motile cilia. We previously demonstrated that mouse models of PCD lacking ciliary proteins CFAP221, CFAP54 and SPEF2 all have hydrocephalus with a strain-dependent severity. While morphological defects are more severe on the C57BL/6J (B6) background than 129S6/SvEvTac (129), cerebrospinal fuid fow is perturbed on both backgrounds, suggesting that abnormal cilia-driven fow is not the only factor underlying the hydrocephalus phenotype. Here, we performed a microarray analysis on brains from wild type and nm1054 mice lacking CFAP221 on the B6 and 129 backgrounds. Expression diferences were observed for a number of genes that cluster into distinct groups based on expression pattern and biological function, many of them implicated in cellular and biochemical processes essential for proper brain development. These include genes known to be functionally relevant to congenital hydrocephalus, as well as formation and function of both motile and sensory cilia. Identifcation of these genes provides important clues to mechanisms underlying congenital hydrocephalus severity. Hydrocephalus is a complex disorder with both genetic and environmental causes1.

(McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ray Truant NUMBER OF PAGES: xvi, 177 iii Ph.D. Thesis – C.R. Desmond McMaster University - Biochemistry ABSTRACT Huntington's Disease brains display a striking accumulation of huntingtin in the nucleus of striatal and cortical neurons, suggesting that nuclear functions may be key to the onset of cellular pathogenesis. Entry to the nucleus is tightly regulated by a family of import receptors called karyopherins that limit their binding to proteins bearing specific nuclear localization signals (NLS). Although huntingtin is primarily cytoplasmic in healthy neurons, it is also found in the nucleus at low levels and contains a nuclear export signal (NES), suggesting that shuttling to and from the nucleus is part of the protein's normal function. Indeed, recent publications from our lab (Atwal et al. 2007 and 2011, and Munsie et al. 2011) describe huntingtin's ability to enter the nucleus in response to cell stress, and localize to cofilin-actin rods. We have identified an active NLS near the amino terminus of huntingtin between amino acids 174-207, which is recognized by both karyopherin β2 and β1.
