The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) mediates a variety of biological responses to ubiquitous environmental pollutants. AhR is ligand activated transcription factor with high affinities for aromatic planar compounds such as β-naphthoflavone (BNF), 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) or dioxin (TCDD). After binding appropriate ligand, AhR trigger induction of expression of some phase I and phase II drug metabolizing genes together with numerous other genes. One of such gene appear to be polymerase (DNA directed) kappa (Polκ). Polκ gene encodes newly identified low fidelity DNA polymerase. The enzyme bypasses benzo[a]pyrene-N2-dG lesions in a mostly error free manner by incorporating predominantly dC opposite the bulky lesions. It was demonstrated that AhR activation increases expression of the mouse Polκ gene and probably human POLK gene. In this study we examined the effect of i.p. administration of different AhR ligands on the expression of Polκ, RNA polymerase II polypeptide A (PolR2a) and cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1), the genes controlled by AhR in Sprague-Dawley rat liver. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed significant induction in the mRNA expression levels of Polκ and PolR2a following BNF treatment. Time courses of mRNA expression after treatment with BNF were similar in both genes, with maximal increases at 8h after treatment. The maximal induction of CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 expression was observed after 24 and 8h after BNF injection, respectively. TCDD treatment caused the significant increase in the mRNA level of CYP1B1 at 72h after administration of the ligand but no effect on Polκ and PolR2a mRNA expression was observed. These results confirm connection between AhR and Polκ, and strongly suggest that AhR up-regulates the mRNA transcription of PolR2a as well. However physiological importance of AhR dependent regulation of PolR2a expression must be further elucidated.
Emerging Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resistant strains have continued to limit the efficacies of existing antitubercular therapies. More specifically, mutations in the RNA replicative machinery of Mtb, RNA polymerase (RNAP), have been widely linked to rifampicin (RIF) resistance, which has led to therapeutic failures in many clinical cases. Moreover, elusive details on the underlying mechanisms of RIF-resistance caused by Mtb-RNAP mutations have hampered the development of new and efficient drugs that are able to overcome this challenge. Therefore, in this study we attempt to resolve the molecular and structural events associated with RIF-resistance in nine clinically reported missense Mtb RNAP mutations. Our study, for the first time, investigated the multi-subunit Mtb RNAP complex and findings revealed that the mutations commonly disrupted structural-dynamical attributes that may be essential for the protein's catalytic functions, particularly at the βfork loop 2, β'zinc-binding domain, the β' trigger loop and β'jaw, which in line with previous experimental reports, are essential for RNAP processivity. Complementarily, the mutations considerably perturbed the RIF-BP, which led to alterations in the active orientation of RIF needed to obstruct RNA extension. Consequentially, essential interactions with RIF were lost due to the mutation-induced repositioning with corresponding reductions in the binding affinity of the drug observed in majority of the mutants. We believe these findings will significantly aid future efforts in the discovery of new treatment options with the potential to overcome antitubercular resistance.
Trypanosoma brucei brucei (TBB) belongs to the unicellular parasitic protozoa organisms, specifically to the Trypanosoma genus of the Trypanosomatidae class. A variety of different vertebrate species can be infected by TBB, including humans and animals. Under particular conditions, the TBB can be hosted by wild and domestic animals; therefore, an important reservoir of infection always remains available to transmit through tsetse flies. Although the TBB parasite is one of the leading causes of death in the most underdeveloped countries, to date there is neither vaccination available nor any drug against TBB infection. The subunit RPB1 of the TBB DNA-directed RNA polymerase II (DdRpII) constitutes an ideal target for the design of novel inhibitors, since it is instrumental role is vital for the parasite's survival, proliferation, and transmission. A major goal of the described study is to provide insights for novel anti-TBB agents via a state-of-the-art drug discovery approach of the TBB DdRpII RPB1. In an attempt to understand the function and action mechanisms of this parasite enzyme related to its molecular structure, an in-depth evolutionary study has been conducted in parallel to the in silico molecular designing of the 3D enzyme model, based on state-of-the-art comparative modelling and molecular dynamics techniques. Based on the evolutionary studies results nine new invariant, first-time reported, highly conserved regions have been identified within the DdRpII family enzymes. Consequently, those patches have been examined both at the sequence and structural level and have been evaluated in regard to their pharmacological targeting appropriateness. Finally, the pharmacophore elucidation study enabled us to virtually in silico screen hundreds of compounds and evaluate their interaction capabilities with the enzyme. It was found that a series of chlorine-rich set of compounds were the optimal inhibitors for the TBB DdRpII RPB1 enzyme. All-in-all, herein we present a series of new sites on the TBB DdRpII RPB1 of high pharmacological interest, alongside the construction of the 3D model of the enzyme and the suggestion of a new in silico pharmacophore model for fast screening of potential inhibiting agents.
Polymerase micro (Polmicro) is an error-prone, DNA-directed DNA polymerase that participates in non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair. In vivo, Polmicro deficiency results in impaired Vkappa-Jkappa recombination and altered somatic hypermutation and centroblast development. In Polmicro(-/-) mice, hematopoietic development was defective in several peripheral and bone marrow (BM) cell populations, with about a 40% decrease in BM cell number that affected several hematopoietic lineages. Hematopoietic progenitors were reduced both in number and in expansion potential. The observed phenotype correlates with a reduced efficiency in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in hematopoietic tissue. Whole-body gamma-irradiation revealed that Polmicro also plays a role in DSB repair in non-hematopoietic tissues. Our results show that Polmicro function is required for physiological hematopoietic development with an important role in maintaining early progenitor cell homeostasis and genetic stability in hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic tissues.
Nitro fatty acids (NO2-FAs) are endogenously generated lipid signaling mediators from metabolic and inflammatory reactions between conjugated diene fatty acids and nitric oxide or nitrite-derived reactive species. NO2-FAs undergo reversible Michael addition with hyperreactive protein cysteine thiolates to induce posttranslational protein modifications that can impact protein function. Herein, we report a novel mechanism of action of natural and non-natural nitroalkenes structurally similar to (E) 10-nitro-octadec-9-enoic acid (CP-6), recently de-risked by preclinical Investigational New Drug-enabling studies and Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials and found to induce DNA damage in a TNBC xenograft by inhibiting homologous-recombination (HR)-mediated repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB). CP-6 specifically targets Cys319, essential in RAD51-controlled HR-mediated DNA DSB repair in cells. A nitroalkene library screen identified two structurally different nitroalkenes, a non-natural fatty acid [(E) 8-nitro-nonadec-7-enoic acid (CP-8)] and a dicarboxylate ester [dimethyl (E)nitro-oct-4-enedioate (CP-23)] superior to CP-6 in TNBC cells killing, synergism with three different inhibitors of the poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) and γ-IR. CP-8 and CP-23 effectively inhibited γ-IR-induced RAD51 foci formation and HR in a GFP-reported assay but did not affect benign human epithelial cells or cell cycle phases. In vivo, CP-8 and CP-23's efficacies diverged as only CP-8 showed promising anticancer activities alone and combined with the PARP inhibitor talazoparib in an HR-proficient TNBC mouse model. As preliminary preclinical toxicology analysis also suggests CP-8 as safe, our data endorse CP-8 as a novel anticancer molecule for treating cancers sensitive to homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair inhibitors.
Host factors belonging to the DNA repair machineries are assumed to aid retroviruses in the obligatory step of integration. Here we describe the effect of DNA repair molecule Rad18, a component of the post-replication repair pathway, on viral infection. Contrary to our expectations, cells lacking Rad18 were consistently more permissive to viral transduction as compared to Rad18(+/+) controls. Remarkably, such susceptibility was integration independent, since retroviruses devoid of integration activity also showed enhancement of the initial steps of infection. Moreover, the elevated sensitivity of the Rad18(-/-) cells was also observed with adenovirus. These data indicate that Rad18 suppresses viral infection in a non-specific fashion, probably by targeting incoming DNA. Furthermore, considering data published recently, it appears that the interactions between DNA repair components with incoming viruses, often result in inhibition of the infection rather than cooperation toward its establishment.
Neuropathological findings in mitochondrial DNA disease vary and are often dependent on the type of mitochondrial DNA defect. Many reports document neuronal cell loss, demyelination, gliosis and necrotic lesions in post-mortem material. However, previous studies highlight vascular abnormalities in patients harbouring mitochondrial DNA defects, particularly in those with the m.3243A>G mutation in whom stroke-like events are part of the mitochondrial encephalopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes syndrome. We investigated microangiopathic changes in the cerebellum of 16 genetically and clinically well-defined patients. Respiratory chain deficiency, high levels of mutated mitochondrial DNA and increased mitochondrial mass were present within the smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells comprising the vessel wall in patients. These changes were not limited to those harbouring the m.3243A>G mutation frequently associated with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes, but were documented in patients harbouring m.8344A>G and autosomal recessive polymerase (DNA directed), gamma (POLG) mutations. In 8 of the 16 patients, multiple ischaemic-like lesions occurred in the cerebellar cortex suggestive of vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction. Indeed, changes in vascular smooth muscle and endothelium distribution and cell size are indicative of vascular cell loss. We found evidence of blood-brain barrier breakdown characterized by plasma protein extravasation following fibrinogen and IgG immunohistochemistry. Reduced immunofluorescence was also observed using markers for endothelial tight junctions providing further evidence in support of blood-brain barrier breakdown. Understanding the structural and functional changes occurring in central nervous system microvessels in patients harbouring mitochondrial DNA defects will provide an important insight into mechanisms of neurodegeneration in mitochondrial DNA disease. Since therapeutic strategies targeting the central nervous system are limited, modulating vascular function presents an exciting opportunity to lessen the burden of disease in these patients.
Marine microorganisms, particularly those residing in coastal areas, may come in contact with any number of chemicals of environmental or xenobiotic origin. The sensitivity and response of marine cyanobacteria to such chemicals is, at present, poorly understood. We have looked at the transcriptional response of well characterized Synechococcus open ocean (WH8102) and coastal (CC9311) isolates to two DNA damaging agents, mitomycin C and ethidium bromide, using whole-genome expression microarrays. The coastal strain showed differential regulation of a larger proportion of its genome following "shock" treatment with each agent. Many of the orthologous genes in these strains, including those encoding sensor kinases, showed different transcriptional responses, with the CC9311 genes more likely to show significant changes in both treatments. While the overall response of each strain was considerably different, there were distinct transcriptional responses common to both strains observed for each DNA damaging agent, linked to the mode of action of each chemical. In both CC9311 and WH8102 there was evidence of SOS response induction under mitomycin C treatment, with genes recA, lexA and umuC significantly upregulated in this experiment but not under ethidium bromide treatment. Conversely, ethidium bromide treatment tended to result in upregulation of the DNA-directed RNA polymerase genes, not observed following mitomycin C treatment. Interestingly, a large number of genes residing on putative genomic island regions of each genome also showed significant upregulation under one or both chemical treatments.
We previously described the identification of a chromosomal deletion in Arabidopsis thaliana that resulted in the elimination of genomic DNA between two T-DNA insertions located ca. 25 kilobases apart on chromosome IV. The mechanism responsible for this deletion appears to have been recombination between the closely spaced T-DNA elements located in trans in a parent plant. In our original study, we observed one such deletion event after screening ca. 2,000 seedlings using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Because a method for precisely deleting a selected region of the Arabidopsis genome would have significant value as a research tool, we were interested in determining the frequency with which this type of T-DNA-directed deletion occurs. To do this we designed a genetic screen that would allow us to phenotypically screen for deletions caused by recombination between T-DNA inserts. This screen involved crossing T-DNA single-mutant lines in order to produce F1 plants in which the two T-DNA insertions flanked a FUSCA (FUS) locus present in the genome. Loss-of-function mutations of FUS genes cause a distinctive developmental phenotype that can be easily scored visually in young seedlings. We used T-DNA lines flanking FUS2, FUS6, FUS7, and FUS11 for this study. Recombination between the T-DNAs in an F1 parent should result in deletion of the FUS gene located between the T-DNAs. Because the deletion would be heterozygous in the F2 generation, we screened the F3 progeny of pooled F2 individuals to search for the fus loss-of-function phenotype. Using this strategy we were able to evaluate a total of 28,314 meioses for evidence of deletions caused by recombination between the T-DNA inserts. No seedlings displaying the fus phenotype were recovered, suggesting that deletions caused by recombination between T-DNA inserts are relatively rare events and may not be a useful tools for genome engineering in Arabidopsis.
DNA-directed RNA polymerase II (pol II) is composed of ten core and two dissociable subunits. The dissociable subcomplex is a heterodimer of Rpb4/Polr2d and Rpb7/Polr2g, which are encoded by RPB4/polr2d and RPB7/polr2g genes, respectively. Functional studies of Rpb4/Polr2d in yeast have revealed that Rpb4 plays a role primarily in pol II-mediated RNA synthesis and partly in various mRNA regulations including pre-mRNA splicing, nuclear export of mRNAs and decay of mRNAs. Although Rpb4 is evolutionally highly conserved from yeast to human, it is dispensable for survival in budding yeast S. cerevisiae, whereas it was indispensable for survival in fission yeast S. pombe, slime molds and fruit fly. To elucidate whether Rpb4/Polr2d is necessary for development and survival of vertebrate animals, we generated polr2d-deficient zebrafish. The polr2d mutant embryos exhibited progressive delay of somitogenesis at the onset of 11 h postfertilization (hpf). Mutant embryos then showed increased cell death at 15 hpf, displayed hypoplasia such as small eye and cardiac edema by 48 hpf and prematurely died by 60 hpf. In accordance with these developmental defects, our RT-qPCR revealed that expression of housekeeping and zygotic genes was diminished in mutants. Collectively, we conclude that Rpb4/Polr2d is indispensable for vertebrate development.
The archaeal RNA polymerase (RNAP) shares structural similarities with eukaryotic RNAP II but requires a reduced subset of general transcription factors for promoter-dependent initiation. To deepen our knowledge of cellular transcription, we have determined the structure of the 13-subunit DNA-directed RNAP from Sulfolobus shibatae at 3.35 Å resolution. The structure contains the full complement of subunits, including RpoG/Rpb8 and the equivalent of the clamp-head and jaw domains of the eukaryotic Rpb1. Furthermore, we have identified subunit Rpo13, an RNAP component in the order Sulfolobales, which contains a helix-turn-helix motif that interacts with the RpoH/Rpb5 and RpoA'/Rpb1 subunits. Its location and topology suggest a role in the formation of the transcription bubble.
RNA:DNA hybrids form in the nuclei and mitochondria of cells as transcription-induced R-loops or G-quadruplexes, but exist only in the cytosol of virus-infected cells. Little is known about the existence of RNA:DNA hybrids in the cytosol of virus-free cells, in particular cancer or transformed cells. Here, we show that cytosolic RNA:DNA hybrids are present in various human cell lines, including transformed cells. Inhibition of RNA polymerase III (Pol III), but not DNA polymerase, abrogated cytosolic RNA:DNA hybrids. Cytosolic RNA:DNA hybrids bind to several components of the microRNA (miRNA) machinery-related proteins, including AGO2 and DDX17. Furthermore, we identified miRNAs that are specifically regulated by Pol III, providing a potential link between RNA:DNA hybrids and the miRNA machinery. One of the target genes, exportin-1, is shown to regulate cytosolic RNA:DNA hybrids. Taken together, we reveal previously unknown mechanism by which Pol III regulates the presence of cytosolic RNA:DNA hybrids and miRNA biogenesis in various human cells.
Despite the great success of small molecule inhibitors in the treatment of patients with BRAFV600E mutated melanoma, the response to these drugs remains transient and patients eventually relapse within a few months, highlighting the need to develop novel combination therapies based on the understanding of the molecular changes induced by BRAFV600E inhibitors. The acute inhibition of oncogenic signaling can rewire entire cellular signaling pathways and thereby create novel cancer cell vulnerabilities. Here, we demonstrate that inhibition of BRAFV600E oncogenic signaling in melanoma cell lines leads to destabilization of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II POLR2A (polymerase RNA II DNA-directed polypeptide A), thereby preventing its binding to the unconventional prefoldin RPB5 interactor (URI1) chaperone complex and the successful assembly of RNA polymerase II holoenzymes. Furthermore, in melanoma cell lines treated with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors, α-amanitin, a specific and irreversible inhibitor of RNA polymerase II, induced massive apoptosis. Pre-treatment of melanoma cell lines with MAPK inhibitors significantly reduced IC50 values to α-amanitin, creating a state of collateral vulnerability similar to POLR2A hemizygous deletions. Thus, the development of melanoma specific α-amanitin antibody-drug conjugates could represent an interesting therapeutic approach for combination therapies with BRAFV600E inhibitors.
Catalysis and translocation of multi-subunit DNA-directed RNA polymerases underlie all cellular mRNA synthesis. RNA polymerase II (Pol II) synthesizes eukaryotic pre-mRNAs from a DNA template strand buried in its active site. Structural details of catalysis at near atomic resolution and precise arrangement of key active site components have been elusive. Here we present the free electron laser (FEL) structure of a matched ATP-bound Pol II, revealing the full active site interaction network at the highest resolution to date, including the trigger loop (TL) in the closed conformation, bonafide occupancy of both site A and B Mg2+, and a putative third (site C) Mg2+ analogous to that described for some DNA polymerases but not observed previously for cellular RNA polymerases. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the structure indicate that the third Mg2+ is coordinated and stabilized at its observed position. TL residues provide half of the substrate binding pocket while multiple TL/bridge helix (BH) interactions induce conformational changes that could propel translocation upon substrate hydrolysis. Consistent with TL/BH communication, a FEL structure and MD simulations of the hyperactive Rpb1 T834P bridge helix mutant reveals rearrangement of some active site interactions supporting potential plasticity in active site function and long-distance effects on both the width of the central channel and TL conformation, likely underlying its increased elongation rate at the expense of fidelity.
ASFV is a large DNA virus that is highly pathogenic in domestic pigs. How this virus is sensed by the innate immune system as well as why it is so virulent remains enigmatic. In this study, we show that the ASFV genome contains AT-rich regions that are recognized by the DNA-directed RNA polymerase III (Pol-III), leading to viral RNA sensor RIG-I-mediated innate immune responses. We further show that ASFV protein I267L inhibits RNA Pol-III-RIG-I-mediated innate antiviral responses. I267L interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Riplet, disrupts Riplet-RIG-I interaction and impairs Riplet-mediated K63-polyubiquitination and activation of RIG-I. I267L-deficient ASFV induces higher levels of interferon-β, and displays compromised replication both in primary macrophages and pigs compared with wild-type ASFV. Furthermore, I267L-deficiency attenuates the virulence and pathogenesis of ASFV in pigs. These findings suggest that ASFV I267L is an important virulence factor by impairing innate immune responses mediated by the RNA Pol-III-RIG-I axis.
The unique properties of magnesium (Mg) and its alloys that combine favourable mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, which until now have been restricted primarily to polymers, justify its study in the field of implantology. Previous in vivo studies have underlined the possible osteoconductive effects of Mg-based metals, and several in vitro studies have highlighted positive effects of Mg-enriched biomaterials. However, although the observed biological activity of magnesium is intriguing, it remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, due to increased regulations, the introduction of new implants on the market must be accompanied by thorough mechanistic understanding. Therefore, to mimic the in vivo effects of the degradation of Mg-based implants on mesenchymal stem cell differentiation during bone remodelling, non-haematopoietic multipotent foetal progenitor cells, i.e., human umbilical cord perivascular cells (HUCPV), were cultured for up to three weeks with or without osteoblastic differentiating media and with or without magnesium extract (approximately 5mM). To partially unveil the mechanism or to select paths for further investigation, a very broad selection of genes was chosen (e.g., those involved in osmolality sensing). Several classical bone markers were also studied at the gene and protein levels. The data suggest that Mg extract alone potentiates cell proliferation or delays the natural fate of maturation/differentiation. However, when the cells are driven toward osteoblastic differentiation, the effect of the Mg extract becomes much more complex, positively or negatively influencing differentiation via various pathways. These preliminary results confirm the choice of the various parameters utilised here and highzlight the importance of further studies.
Thermosensitive genic male-sterile (TGMS) lines have been widely used for rice breeding to produce hybrid rice. Here, RNA-Seq was performed to investigate the expression profiles of young panicle from rice TGMS line at the microspore mother cell and meiosis stages under sterile and fertile conditions. A total of 1070 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, which were enriched in protein folding, protein binding, regulation of transcription, transcription factor activity and metabolic related processes. Further analyses showed hub genes UbL40s were predicted to interact with proteolysis-related genes and DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit, and HSPs interacted with kinases to play important roles in regulating fertility alteration. It suggested that besides UbL40s, DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit, kinases and HSPs might be involved in fertility alteration in rice TGMS lines. These findings provided new insights into fertility alteration in rice TGMS line, which will benefit for further application of TGMS in rice breeding.
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an important multidrug resistance (MDR) pathogen that threatens human health and is the main source of hospital-acquired infection. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular vesicles derived from Gram-negative bacteria and contain materials involved in bacterial survival and pathogenesis. They also contribute to cellular communication to nearby or distant recipient cells and influence their functions and phenotypes. In this study, we sought to understand the mechanism of bacterial response to meropenem pressure and explore the relationship between pathogenic proteins and the high pathogenicity of bacteria. We performed whole-genome PacBio sequencing on a clinical CRKP strain, and its OMVs were characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and proteomic analysis. Thousands of vesicle proteins have been identified in mass spectrometry-based high-throughput proteomics analyses of K. pneumoniae OMVs. Protein functionality analysis showed that the OMVs were predominantly involved in metabolic, intracellular compartments, nucleic acid binding, survival, defense, and antibiotic resistance, such as Chromosome partition protein MukB, 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate hydroxymethyltransferase, methionine-tRNA ligase, Heat shock protein 60 family chaperone GroEL, and Gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase. Additionally, a protein-protein interaction network demonstrated that OMVs from meropenem-treated K. pneumoniae showed the highest connectivity in DNA polymerase I, phenylalanine-tRNA ligase beta subunit, DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit beta, methionine-tRNA ligase, DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit beta, and DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit alpha. The OMVs proteome expression profile indicates increased secretion of stress proteins released from meropenem-treated K. pneumoniae, which provides clues for revealing the biogenesis and pathophysiological functions of Gram-negative bacteria OMVs. The significant differentially expressed proteins identified in this study are of great significance for exploring effective control strategies for CRKP infection.IMPORTANCEMeropenem is one of the main antibiotics used in the clinical treatment of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). This study demonstrated that some important metabolic changes occurred in meropenem-induced CRKP-outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), The OMVs proteome expression profile indicates increased secretion of stress proteins released from meropenem-induced Klebsiella pneumoniae. Furthermore, this is the first study to discuss the protein-protein interaction network of the OMVs released by CRKP, especially under antibiotic stress.
