Recent evidence suggests that regulation of RBPs that modulate both RNA stability and translation may have a profound effect on the proteome. However, regulation of RBPs in clinically relevant experimental conditions has not been studied systematically. Methods We used RNA interactome capture, a method for the global identification of RBPs to characterize the global RNA‐binding proteome (RBPome) associated with polyA-tailed RNA species in murine ciliated epithelial cells of the inner medullary collecting duct. To study regulation of RBPs in a clinically relevant condition, we analyzed hypoxia-associated changes of the RBPome. Results We identified .1000 RBPs that had been previously found using other systems. In addition, we found a number of novel RBPs not identified by previous screens using mouse or human cells, suggesting that these proteins may be specific RBPs in differentiated kidney epithelial cells. We also found quantita- tive differences in RBP-binding to mRNA that were associated with hypoxia versus normoxia. Conclusions These findings demonstrate the regulation of RBPs through environmental stimuli and pro- vide insight into the biology of hypoxia-response signaling in epithelial cells in the kidney. A repository of the RBPome and proteome in kidney tubular epithelial cells, derived from our findings, is freely accessible online, and may contribute to a better understanding of the role of RNA-protein interactions in kidney tubular epithelial cells, including the response of these cells to hypoxia.

  • Identification and Characterization of TMEM33 As a Reticulon-Binding Protein

The ER tubules are shaped by reticulons, a conserved ER membrane protein family. However, how the membrane-shaping activity is regulated remains to be elucidated. To understand the mode of action of reticulons, we isolated TMEM33, a conserved protein harboring three transmembrane domains, as a reticulon 4C-binding protein by affinity chromatography. In addition to reticulon 4C, TMEM33 binds to reticulon 1A, -2B, -3C and a reticulon homology domain-containing protein Arl6IP1. Exogenously expressed TMEM33 localizes at both the ER membrane and the nuclear envelope. Exogenously expressed TMEM33 co-localizes with exogenously expressed reticulon 4C well at the ER sheets and partially at the ER tubules. Exogenously expressed TMEM33 suppresses the exogenously expressed reticulon 4C-induced tubulation of ER. These results suggest that TMEM33 has a potency to suppress the membrane-shaping activity of reticulons, thereby regulating the tubular structure of ER. INTRODUCTION The ER (endoplasmic reticulum) is a continuous membrane system extended from nuclear envelope and composed of interconnected sheets and tubules [11,20,21,25,28].

We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis in muscle from healthy men before and after insulin exposure. DNA methylation of selected genes was determined in muscle from healthy and type 2 diabetic men before and after a glucose tolerance test. Insulin altered DNA methylation in the 3’UTR of the calcium pump ATP2A3 gene. Insulin increased DNA methylation in the gene body of DAPK3, a gene involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy.

Structural features that drive partitioning of Tts1 to the high-curvature ER domains are crucial for both aspects of its function. An amphipathic helix located at the C-terminus of Tts1 is important for ER shaping and modulating the mitotic NPC distribution. Of interest, the evolutionarily conserved residues at the luminal interface of the third transmembrane region function specifically in promoting SPB-NE insertion. Our data illuminate cellular requirements for remodeling the NE during “closed” nuclear division and provide insight into the structure and functions of the eukaryotic TMEM33 family.

  • Patrolling the Nucleus: Inner Nuclear Membrane-Associated Degradation
    Current Genetics https://doi.org/10.1007/s00294-019-00971-1 REVIEW Patrolling the nucleus: inner nuclear membrane‑associated degradation Christine J. Smoyer1,3 · Sue L. Jaspersen1,2 Received: 23 March 2019 / Revised: 9 April 2019 / Accepted: 10 April 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Protein quality control and transport are important for the integrity of organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, but it is largely unknown how protein homeostasis is regulated at the nuclear envelope (NE) despite the connection between NE protein function and human disease. Elucidating mechanisms that regulate the NE proteome is key to understanding nuclear processes such as gene expression, DNA replication and repair as NE components, particularly proteins at the inner nuclear membrane (INM), are involved in the maintenance of nuclear structure, nuclear positioning and chromosome organization. Nuclear pore complexes control the entry and exit of proteins in and out of the nucleus, restricting movement across the nuclear membrane based on protein size, or the size of the extraluminal-facing domain of a transmembrane protein, provid- ing one level of INM proteome regulation. Research in budding yeast has identifed a protein quality control system that targets mislocalized and misfolded proteins at the INM. Here, we review what is known about INM-associated degradation, including recent evidence suggesting that it not only targets mislocalized or misfolded proteins, but also contributes to homeostasis of resident INM proteins.
