AbstractThe recognition and disposal of misfolded proteins are essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Perturbations in the pathways that promote degradation of aberrant proteins contribute to a variety of protein aggregation disorders broadly termed proteinopathies. It is presently unclear how diverse disease-relevant aggregates are recognized and processed for degradation. The p97 AAA-ATPase in combination with a host of adaptor proteins functions to identify ubiquitylated proteins and target them for degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system or through autophagy. Mutations in p97 cause multi-system proteinopathies; however, the precise defects underlying these disorders are unclear given the large number of pathways that rely on p97 function. Here, we systematically investigate the role of p97 and its adaptors in the process of formation of aggresomes which are membrane-less structures containing ubiquitylated proteins that arise upon proteasome inhibition. We demonstrate that p97 mediates both aggresome formation and clearance in proteasome-inhibited cells. We identify a novel and specific role for the p97 adaptor UBXN1 in the process of aggresome formation. UBXN1 is recruited to ubiquitin-positive aggresomes and UBXN1 knockout cells are unable to form a single aggresome, and instead display dispersed ubiquitin aggregates. Furthermore, loss of p97-UBXN1 results in the increase in Huntingtin polyQ aggregates both in mammalian cells as well as in a C.elegans model of Huntington’s Disease. Together our work identifies evolutionarily conserved roles for p97 and its adaptor UBXN1 in the disposal of protein aggregates.

AbstractThe biological purpose of plant stem cells is to maintain themselves while providing new pools of differentiated cells that form organs and rejuvenate or replace damaged tissues1-3. Protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, is required for cell function and viability4-7. However, the link between proteostasis and plant stem cell identity remains unknown. In contrast to their differentiated counterparts, we find that root stem cells can prevent the accumulation of aggregated proteins even under proteotoxic stress conditions such as heat stress or proteasome inhibition. Notably, root stem cells exhibit enhanced expression of distinct chaperones that maintain proteome integrity. Particularly, intrinsic high levels of the TRiC/CCT chaperonin determine stem cell maintenance and their remarkable ability to suppress protein aggregation. Overexpression of CCT8, a key activator of TRiC/CCT assembly8, is sufficient to ameliorate protein aggregation in differentiated cells and confer resistance to proteotoxic stress in plants. Taken together, our results indicate that enhanced proteostasis mechanisms in stem cells could be an important requirement for plants to persist under extreme environmental conditions and reach extreme long ages. Thus, proteostasis of stem cells could provide insights to design and breed plants tolerant to environmental challenges caused by the climate change.

The aggresome is a protein turnover system in which proteins are trafficked along microtubules to the centrosome for degradation. Despite extensive focus on aggresomes in immortalized cell lines, it remains unclear if the aggresome is conserved in all primary cells and all cell-states. Here we examined the aggresome in primary adult mouse dermal fibroblasts in four distinct cell-states. We found that in response to proteasome inhibition, quiescent and immortalized fibroblasts formed aggresomes whereas proliferating and senescent fibroblasts did not. Transcriptomic analysis of the fibroblast cell-state-specific response to proteasome inhibition revealed that stress-activated MAPK signaling was associated with aggresome formation. Supporting a functional role for stress-activated MAPK signaling in aggresome formation, inhibition of TAK1 and p38α/β MAPKs suppressed aggresome formation. Together, our data suggest that the aggresome is a non-universal protein degradation system that forms through stress-activated MAPK signaling which can be used cell-state specifically.

ABSTRACTMultiple surveillance mechanisms accelerate proteasome mediated degradation of misfolded proteins to prevent protein aggregation inside and outside mitochondria. But how cells safeguard mitochondrial function despite increased protein aggregation during proteasome inactivation? Here, using two-dimensional complexome profiling, we extensively characterize the dynamic states of respiratory complexes (RCs) in proteasome-inhibited cells. We report that RC-subunits are increasingly integrated into supra-organizations to optimize catalytic activity simultaneous to their aggregation inside mitochondria. Complex-II (CII) and CV are incorporated into oligomers. CI, CIII, and CIV subcomplexes are associated into holocomplexes followed by integration into supercomplexes. Time-course experiments reveal that the core (CI+CIII2) stoichiometry of supercomplex (I+III2+IV) is preserved during early-stress while CIV composition varies. Simultaneously, increased CI-activity suggests conformational optimization of supercomplexes for better function. Re-establishment of steady-state stoichiometry and relative increase in supercomplex-quantity consolidates functional adaptation during prolonged proteasome-inhibition. Together, we name this pre-emptive adaptive mechanism as ‘improved Supra-organization of Respiratory Complexes’ (iSRC). We find that iSRC is active in multiple protein-unfolding stresses, in multiple cell-types that differ in proteostatic and metabolic demands, and reversible upon stress-withdrawal.
