In almost all parts of the world the industrialisation grows continuously and thus, the chemical pollution of natural waters has become a major public concern. A major consequence and one of the key environmental problems we are facing today is the increasing contamination of freshwater systems with chemicals. The chemicals are detected in wastewater, surface (river) water, ground water and drinking water ubiquitously in natural waters and not only in industrialised areas. The main point sources for water pollution and the release of these synthetic organic substances of human origin, so called micropollutants (MPs), are wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). These MPs such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, disinfectant chemicals, chemicals used in the industry and in households, contraceptives, hormones, food additives, artificial sweeteners, pesticides, biocides, and many emerging contaminants are only incompletely removed by the existing conventional wastewater treatment technologies. The MPs end up in the water cycle and have adverse effects on wildlife aquatic ecosystems and human health even at very low concentrations. Therefore, advanced wastewater treatment (AWWT) technologies, such as ozonation, treatment with activated carbon, biofiltration, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) or exposure to ultraviolet light are investigated as options to upgrade conventional WWTPs. However, several studies show that especially the ozonation of wastewater generates diverse transformation products (TPs) with unknown properties. These TPs could be more toxic than the mother compound. Thus, a post-treatment after the ozonation process is required.
The present thesis was part of the BMBF-funded TransRisk project dealing with “the characterisation, communication, and minimisation of risks of emerging pollutants and pathogens in the water cycle”. One main objective was the investigation of conventional treated wastewater after a full-scale ozonation with four post-treatments (each non-aerated and aerated granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration and biofiltration) in comparison to a MBR treatment of raw (untreated) wastewater separately and in combination with an additional ozonation on a pilot WWTP. For this purpose, the wastewater samples were characterised with a comprehensive battery of in vitro and in vivo bioassays. The in vitro bioassays were performed to detect endocrine activities (such as (anti)estrogenic and (anti)androgenic activities), genotoxicity, and mutagenicity. The results showed a decreased estrogenic activity due to the conventional wastewater treatment as well as the ozonation, but a distinct increase of the anti-estrogenic activity and the mutagenicity in the ozonated wastewater, possibly caused by new formed TPs, that were reduced after the post-treatments whereas the GAC filtration performed better than the biofiltration. The in vivo bioassays included for example the impact of the wastewater on mortality, reproduction, development, and energy reserves of the test organisms. The in vivo on-site tests with the mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum and with the amphipod Gammarus fossarum indicated a major impact of conventional treated wastewater, ozonated wastewater, and MBR treated wastewater. The flow channel experiments in the laboratory with Gammarus pulex pointed to a serious impact of an estrogenic effluent on life-history traits of the amphipod. Finally, an ozonation of the wastewater with subsequent GAC filtration represented the most promising option. In addition, chemical analyses of 40 selected MPs, so called tracer substances, performed in parallel to the in vitro and in vivo bioassays underlined this assumption.
A second main objective was the optimisation of the preparation of water and wastewater samples for ecotoxicological in vitro bioassays because common sample preparation techniques are predominantly adapted for chemical analyses. Therefore, the impact of sample filtration, long-term acidification with following neutralisation as well as the enrichment with solid phase extraction (SPE) in combination with short-term acidification were investigated using amongst others raw (untreated) wastewater, hospital wastewater, conventional treated and ozonated wastewater, surface water, and ground water. Overall, eleven in vitro bioassays were performed for the detection of endocrine activities, genotoxicity, and mutagenicity. The results show that sample filtration and acidification/neutralisation significantly affected the outcome of the bioassays especially the anti-estrogenic activity and the mutagenicity whereas the sample filtration had a minor impact than the acidification. Thus, the testing of untreated (waste)water samples is advisable because the sample is minimally processed. Furthermore, the SPE extracts showed in parts high cytotoxic effects whereby no conclusions on the results of the bioassays were possible. However, the enrichment of endocrine activity and mutagenicity was predominantly effective but depended on the used SPE cartridge and the pH value of the (waste)water samples. Based on the results the use of a Telos C18/ENV cartridge and an acidified sample is recommendable. In the end, there is a need to optimise the sample preparation for in vitro bioassays to reach their maximum outcome for the best possible assessment of the water quality.
The archaeal ATP synthase is a multisubunit complex that consists of a catalytic A(1) part and a transmembrane, ion translocation domain A(0). The A(1)A(0) complex from the hyperthermophile Pyrococcus furiosus was isolated. Mass analysis of the complex by laser-induced liquid bead ion desorption (LILBID) indicated a size of 730 +/- 10 kDa. A three-dimensional map was generated by electron microscopy from negatively stained images. The map at a resolution of 2.3 nm shows the A(1) and A(0) domain, connected by a central stalk and two peripheral stalks, one of which is connected to A(0), and both connected to A(1) via prominent knobs. X-ray structures of subunits from related proteins were fitted to the map. On the basis of the fitting and the LILBID analysis, a structural model is presented with the stoichiometry A(3)B(3)CDE(2)FH(2)ac(10).
One like all? Behavioral response range of native and invasive amphipods to neonicotinoid exposure
(2024)
Highlights
• Short-time neonicotinoid exposure causes behavioral responses in non-target species.
• Environmentally relevant concentrations can induce changes in invertebrate behavior.
• Different baseline activity of ecological similar crustacean amphipods.
• Species respond specifically to thiacloprid exposure.
• Acantocephalan infection affects locomotion of intermediate host Gammarus roeselii.
Abstract
Native and invasive species often occupy similar ecological niches and environments where they face comparable risks from chemical exposure. Sometimes, invasive species are phylogenetically related to native species, e.g. they may come from the same family and have potentially similar sensitivities to environmental stressors due to phylogenetic conservatism and ecological similarity. However, empirical studies that aim to understand the nuanced impacts of chemicals on the full range of closely related species are rare, yet they would help to comprehend patterns of current biodiversity loss and species turnover. Behavioral sublethal endpoints are of increasing ecotoxicological interest. Therefore, we investigated behavioral responses (i.e., change in movement behavior) of the four dominant amphipod species in the Rhine-Main area (central Germany) when exposed to the neonicotinoid thiacloprid. Moreover, beyond species-specific behavioral responses, ecological interactions (e.g. parasitation with Acanthocephala) play a crucial role in shaping behavior, and we have considered these infections in our analysis. Our findings revealed distinct baseline behaviors and species-specific responses to thiacloprid exposure. Notably, Gammarus fossarum exhibited biphasic behavioral changes with hyperactivity at low concentrations that decreased at higher concentrations. Whereas Gammarus pulex, Gammarus roeselii and the invasive species Dikerogammarus villosus, showed no or weaker behavioral responses. This may partly explain why G. fossarum disappears in chemically polluted regions while the other species persist there to a certain degree. But it also shows that potential pre-exposure in the habitat may influence behavioral responses of the other amphipod species, because habituation occurs, and potential hyperactivity would be harmful to individuals in the habitat. The observed responses were further influenced by acanthocephalan parasites, which altered baseline behavior in G. roeselii and enhanced the behavioral response to thiacloprid exposure. Our results underscore the intricate and diverse nature of responses among closely related amphipod species, highlighting their unique vulnerabilities in anthropogenically impacted freshwater ecosystems.
Highlights

• Commonly studied pollutants are persistent organic pollutants, metals, pesticides.
• Pollution-effect studies focus on molecular and cellular levels.
• In silico and in vitro approaches aid in assessing in vivo effects.
Abstract
Marine mammals, due to their long life span, key position in the food web, and large lipid deposits, often face significant health risks from accumulating contaminants. This systematic review examines published literature on pollutant-induced adverse health effects in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red-listed marine mammal species. Thereby, identifying gaps in literature across different extinction risk categories, spatial distribution and climatic zones of studied habitats, commonly used methodologies, researched pollutants, and mechanisms from cellular to population levels. Our findings reveal a lower availability of exposure-effect data for higher extinction risk species (critically endangered 16%, endangered 15%, vulnerable 66%), highlighting the need for more research. For many threatened species in the Southern Hemisphere pollutant-effect relationships are not established. Non-destructively sampled tissues, like blood or skin, are commonly measured for exposure assessment. The most studied pollutants are POPs (31%), metals (30%), and pesticides (17%). Research on mixture toxicity is scarce while pollution-effect studies primarily focus on molecular and cellular levels. Bridging the gap between molecular data and higher-level effects is crucial, with computational approaches offering a high potential through in vitro to in vivo extrapolation using (toxico-)kinetic modelling. This could aid in population-level risk assessment for threatened marine mammals.
Beside mosquitoes, ticks are well-known vectors of different human pathogens. In the Northern Hemisphere, Lyme borreliosis (Eurasia, LB) or Lyme disease (North America, LD) is the most commonly occurring vector-borne infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Borrelia which are transmitted by hard ticks of the genus Ixodes. The reported incidence of LB in Europe is about 22.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants annually with a broad range depending on the geographical area analyzed. However, the epidemiological data are largely incomplete, because LB is not notifiable in all European countries. Furthermore, not only differ reporting procedures between countries, there is also variation in case definitions and diagnostic procedures. Lyme borreliosis is caused by several species of the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) complex which are maintained in complex networks including ixodid ticks and different reservoir hosts. Vector and host influence each other and are affected by multiple factors including climate that have a major impact on their habitats and ecology. To classify factors that influence the risk of transmission of B. burgdorferi s.l. to their different vertebrate hosts as well as to humans, we briefly summarize the current knowledge about the pathogens including their astonishing ability to overcome various host immune responses, regarding the main vector in Europe Ixodes ricinus, and the disease caused by borreliae. The research shows, that a higher standardization of case definition, diagnostic procedures, and standardized, long-term surveillance systems across Europe is necessary to improve clinical and epidemiological data.
Autophagy is an important degradation pathway mediating the engulfment of cellular material (cargo) into autophagosomes followed by degradation in autophagosomes.
Different stress stimuli, e.g. nutrient deprivation, oxidative stress or organelle damage, engage autophagy to maintain cellular homeostasis, recycle nutrients or remove damaged cell organelles. Autophagy not only degrades bulk cytoplasmic material but also selective autophagic cargo, for example lysosomes (lysophagy), mitochondria (mitophagy), ER (ER-phagy), lipid droplets (lipophagy), protein aggregates (aggrephagy) or pathogens (xenophagy). Selective autophagy pathways are regulated by selective autophagy receptors which bind to ubiquitinated cargo proteins and link them to LC3 on the autophagosomal membrane.
Ubiquitination is an essential post-translational modification controlling different cellular processes such as proteasomal and lysosomal degradation or innate immune signaling.
M1-linked (linear) poly-Ubiquitin (poly-Ub) chains are exclusively assembled by the E3 ligase linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and removed by the M1 poly-Ub-specific OTU domain-containing deubiquitinase with linear linkage specificity (OTULIN). In addition to key functions in innate immune signaling and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation, M1 ubiquitination is also implicated in the regulation of autophagy.
LUBAC and OTULIN control autophagy initiation and maturation and the autophagic clearance of invading bacteria via xenophagy. However, additional functions of LUBAC- and OTULIN-regulated M1 ubiquitination in autophagy are largely unknown and it also remains unexplored if LUBAC and OTULIN control other selective autophagy pathways in addition to xenophagy. This study aimed to unravel the role of LUBAC- and OTULIN-controlled M1 ubiquitination in bulk and selective autophagy in more detail.
In this study, characterization of OTULIN-depleted MZ-54 glioblastoma (GBM) cells revealed that OTULIN deficiency results in enhanced LC3 lipidation in response to autophagy induction and upon blockade of late stage autophagy with Bafilomycin A1 (BafA1). Furthermore, electron microscopy analysis showed that OTULIN-deficient cells have an increased number of degradative compartments (DGCs), confirming enhanced autophagy activity upon loss of OTULIN. APEX2-based autophagosome content profiling identified various OTULIN-dependent autophagy cargo proteins. Among these were the autophagy receptor TAX1BP1 which regulates different forms of selective autophagy (e.g. lysophagy, aggrephagy) and the glycan-binding protein galectin-3 which serves key functions in lysophagy, suggesting a role of OTULIN and M1 poly-Ub in the regulation of aggrephagy and lysophagy.
Abstract 2
To study aggrephagy, protein aggregation was induced with puromycin which causes premature termination of translation and accumulation of defective ribosomal products (DRiPs). Loss of OTULIN increased the number of M1 poly-Ub-positive foci and insoluble proteins and reduced the levels of soluble TAX1BP1 and p62 in response to puromycin-induced proteotoxic stress.
Intriguingly, upon induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) with the lysosomotropic drug L-Leucyl-L-Leucine methyl ester (LLOMe), M1 poly-Ub strongly accumulated at damaged lysosomes and colocalized with TAX1BP1- and galectin-3-positive puncta. M1 poly-Ub-modified lysosomes formed a platform for NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) and inhibitor of κB (IκB) kinase (IKK) complex recruitment and local NF-κB activation in a K63 poly-Ub- and OTULIN-dependent manner. Furthermore, inhibition of lysosomal degradation enhanced LLOMe-induced cell death, suggesting pro-survival functions of lysophagy following LMP. Enrichment of M1 poly-Ub at damaged lysosomes was also observed in human dopaminergic neurons and in primary mouse embryonic cortical neurons, confirming the importance of M1 poly-Ub in the response to lysosomal damage.
Together, these results identify OTULIN as a negative regulator of autophagy induction and the autophagic flux and reveal OTULIN-dependent autophagy cargo proteins.
Furthermore, this study uncovers novel and important roles of M1 poly-Ub in the response to lysosomal damage and local NF-κB activation at damaged lysosomes.
Muller's ratchet, in its prototype version, models a haploid, asexual population whose size~N is constant over the generations. Slightly deleterious mutations are acquired along the lineages at a constant rate, and individuals carrying less mutations have a selective advantage. The classical variant considers {\it fitness proportional} selection, but other fitness schemes are conceivable as well. Inspired by the work of Etheridge et al. ([EPW09]) we propose a parameter scaling which fits well to the ``near-critical'' regime that was in the focus of [EPW09] (and in which the mutation-selection ratio diverges logarithmically as N→∞). Using a Moran model, we investigate the``rule of thumb'' given in [EPW09] for the click rate of the ``classical ratchet'' by putting it into the context of new results on the long-time evolution of the size of the best class of the ratchet with (binary) tournament selection, which (other than that of the classical ratchet) follows an autonomous dynamics up to the time of its extinction. In [GSW23] it was discovered that the tournament ratchet has a hierarchy of dual processes which can be constructed on top of an Ancestral Selection graph with a Poisson decoration. For a regime in which the mutation/selection-ratio remains bounded away from 1, this was used in [GSW23] to reveal the asymptotics of the click rates as well as that of the type frequency profile between clicks. We will describe how these ideas can be extended to the near-critical regime in which the mutation-selection ratio of the tournament ratchet converges to 1 as N→∞.
Inorganic phosphate is one of the most abundant and essential nutrients in living organisms. It plays an indispensable role in energy metabolism and serves as a building block for major cellular components such as the backbones of DNA and RNA, headgroups of phospholipids and in posttranslational modifcations of many proteins. Disturbances in cellular phosphate homeostasis have a detrimental effect on the viability of cells. There- fore, both the import and export of phosphate is strictly regulated in eukaryotic cells. In the eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the uptake of phosphate is carried out either by transporters with high affinity or by transporters with low affinity, depending on the cytosolic phosphate concentration. While structures are available for homologues of the high-affinity transporters, no structures of low-affinity transporters have been solved so far. Interestingly, only the low-affinity transporters have a regulatory SPX domain, which is found in various proteins involved in phosphate homeostasis.
In this work, structures of Pho90 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a low-affinity phosphate transporter, were solved by cryo-EM, providing insights into its transport mechanism. The dimeric structure resembles the structures of proteins of the divalent anion symporter superfamily (DASS) and of mammalian transporters of the solute carrier 13 (SLC13) family. The transmembrane domain of each protomer consists of 13 helical elements and can be subdivided into scaffold and transport domains. The structure of ScPho90 in the presence of phosphate shows the phosphate binding site within the transporter domain in an outward-open conformation with a bound phosphate ion and two sodium ions. In the absence of phosphate, an asymmetric dimer structure was determined, with one protomer adopting an inward-open conformation. While the dimer contact and the scaffold domain are identical in both conformations, the transport domain is rotated by about 30° and shifted by 11 Å towards the cytoplasmic side, leading to the accessibility of the binding pocket from the cytoplasm. Based on these findings and by comparison with known structures, a phosphate transport mechanism is proposed in the present work that involves substrate binding on the extracellular side, conformational change by a rigid-body motion of the transport domain, in an "elevator-like" motion, and substrate release into the cytoplasm. The regulatory SPX domain is not well resolved in the ScPho90 structures, so that no direct conclusions were drawn about its regulatory mechanism. The findings provide new insights into the function and mechanism of eukaryotic low-affinity phosphate transporters.
While eukaryotic cells express various phosphate import proteins, most eukaryotes have only a single highly conserved and essential phosphate exporter. These exporters show no sequence homology to other transporters of known structure, but also possess a regulatory SPX domain. In this work, the structural basis for eukaryotic phosphate export is investigated by elucidating the structures of the homologous phosphate exporters Syg1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Xpr1 from Homo sapiens, using cryo-EM. The structures of ScSyg1 and HsXpr1 show a conserved homodimeric structure and the transmembrane part of each protomer consists of 10 TM helices. Helix TM1 establishes the dimer contact by means of a glycine zipper motif, which is a known oligomerization motif. Helices TM2-5 form a hydrophobic pocket that has density for a lipid molecule. Whether the lipid binding into the hydrophobic pocket has an allosteric effect on the phosphate export activity or only serves protein stabilization is not known. Helices TM5-10 form a six-helix bundle, which constitutes a putative phosphate translocation pathway in its center. This bundle is formed by the protein sequence annotated as EXS domain.
The respective phosphate translocation pathways of ScSyg1 and HsXpr1 show structural differences. While the translocation pathway in HsXpr1 is accessible from the cytoplasm, in ScSyg1 it is closed by a large loop of the SPX domain. Interestingly, this loop is not conserved in higher eukaryotes and is therefore not present in HsXpr1. Another difference are distinct conformations of helix TM9. In ScSyg1, TM9 adopts a kinked conformation, which results in the translocation pathway being open to the extracellular side. In contrast, TM9 adopts a straight conformation in HsXpr1, resulting in the placement of a highly conserved tryptophane residue in the middle of the translocation pathway. As a result, the translocation pathway in HsXpr1 is closed to the extracellular side.
Graph4Med: a web application and a graph database for visualizing and analyzing medical databases
(2022)
Background: Medical databases normally contain large amounts of data in a variety of forms. Although they grant significant insights into diagnosis and treatment, implementing data exploration into current medical databases is challenging since these are often based on a relational schema and cannot be used to easily extract information for cohort analysis and visualization. As a consequence, valuable information regarding cohort distribution or patient similarity may be missed. With the rapid advancement of biomedical technologies, new forms of data from methods such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) or chromosome microarray (array CGH) are constantly being generated; hence it can be expected that the amount and complexity of medical data will rise and bring relational database systems to a limit.
Description: We present Graph4Med, a web application that relies on a graph database obtained by transforming a relational database. Graph4Med provides a straightforward visualization and analysis of a selected patient cohort. Our use case is a database of pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Along routine patients’ health records it also contains results of latest technologies such as NGS data. We developed a suitable graph data schema to convert the relational data into a graph data structure and store it in Neo4j. We used NeoDash to build a dashboard for querying and displaying patients’ cohort analysis. This way our tool (1) quickly displays the overview of patients’ cohort information such as distributions of gender, age, mutations (fusions), diagnosis; (2) provides mutation (fusion) based similarity search and display in a maneuverable graph; (3) generates an interactive graph of any selected patient and facilitates the identification of interesting patterns among patients.
Conclusion: We demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of a graph database for storing and querying medical databases. Our dashboard allows a fast and interactive analysis and visualization of complex medical data. It is especially useful for patients similarity search based on mutations (fusions), of which vast amounts of data have been generated by NGS in recent years. It can discover relationships and patterns in patients cohorts that are normally hard to grasp. Expanding Graph4Med to more medical databases will bring novel insights into diagnostic and research.
Climate forecasts show that in many regions the temporal distribution of precipitation events will become less predictable. Root traits may play key roles in dealing with changes in precipitation predictability, but their functional plastic responses, including transgenerational processes, are scarcely known. We investigated root trait plasticity of Papaver rhoeas with respect to higher versus lower intra-seasonal and inter-seasonal precipitation predictability (i.e., the degree of temporal autocorrelation among precipitation events) during a four-year outdoor multi-generation experiment. We first tested how the simulated predictability regimes affected intra-generational plasticity of root traits and allocation strategies of the ancestors, and investigated the selective forces acting on them. Second, we exposed three descendant generations to the same predictability regime experienced by their mothers or to a different one. We then investigated whether high inter-generational predictability causes root trait differentiation, whether transgenerational root plasticity existed and whether it was affected by the different predictability treatments. We found that the number of secondary roots, root biomass and root allocation strategies of ancestors were affected by changes in precipitation predictability, in line with intra-generational plasticity. Lower predictability induced a root response, possibly reflecting a fast-acquisitive strategy that increases water absorbance from shallow soil layers. Ancestors’ root traits were generally under selection, and the predictability treatments did neither affect the strength nor the direction of selection. Transgenerational effects were detected in root biomass and root weight ratio (RWR). In presence of lower predictability, descendants significantly reduced RWR compared to ancestors, leading to an increase in performance. This points to a change in root allocation in order to maintain or increase the descendants’ fitness. Moreover, transgenerational plasticity existed in maximum rooting depth and root biomass, and the less predictable treatment promoted the lowest coefficient of variation among descendants’ treatments in five out of six root traits. This shows that the level of maternal predictability determines the variation in the descendants’ responses, and suggests that lower phenotypic plasticity evolves in less predictable environments. Overall, our findings show that roots are functional plastic traits that rapidly respond to differences in precipitation predictability, and that the plasticity and adaptation of root traits may crucially determine how climate change will affect plants.
In response to pathogen infection, gasdermin (GSDM) proteins form membrane pores that induce a host cell death process called pyroptosis1–3. Studies of human and mouse GSDM pores reveal the functions and architectures of 24–33 protomers assemblies4–9, but the mechanism and evolutionary origin of membrane targeting and GSDM pore formation remain unknown. Here we determine a structure of a bacterial GSDM (bGSDM) pore and define a conserved mechanism of pore assembly. Engineering a panel of bGSDMs for site-specific proteolytic activation, we demonstrate that diverse bGSDMs form distinct pore sizes that range from smaller mammalian-like assemblies to exceptionally large pores containing >50 protomers. We determine a 3.3 Å cryo-EM structure of a Vitiosangium bGSDM in an active slinky-like oligomeric conformation and analyze bGSDM pores in a native lipid environment to create an atomic-level model of a full 52-mer bGSDM pore. Combining our structural analysis with molecular dynamics simulations and cellular assays, we define a stepwise model of GSDM pore assembly and demonstrate that pore formation is driven by local unfolding of membrane-spanning β-strand regions and pre-insertion of a covalently bound palmitoyl into the target membrane. These results yield insights into the diversity of GSDM pores found in nature and the function of an ancient post-translational modification in enabling a programmed host cell death process.

Background: Alternative splicing is a key mechanism in eukaryotic cells to increase the effective number of functionally distinct gene products. Using bulk RNA sequencing, splicing variation has been studied both across human tissues and in genetically diverse individuals. This has identified disease-relevant splicing events, as well as associations between splicing and genomic variations, including sequence composition and conservation. However, variability in splicing between single cells from the same tissue and its determinants remain poorly understood.
Results: We applied parallel DNA methylation and transcriptome sequencing to differentiating human induced pluripotent stem cells to characterize splicing variation (exon skipping) and its determinants. Our results shows that splicing rates in single cells can be accurately predicted based on sequence composition and other genomic features. We also identified a moderate but significant contribution from DNA methylation to splicing variation across cells. By combining sequence information and DNA methylation, we derived an accurate model (AUC=0.85) for predicting different splicing modes of individual cassette exons. These explain conventional inclusion and exclusion patterns, but also more subtle modes of cell-to-cell variation in splicing. Finally, we identified and characterized associations between DNA methylation and splicing changes during cell differentiation.
Conclusions: Our study yields new insights into alternative splicing at the single-cell level and reveals a previously underappreciated component of DNA methylation variation on splicing.

ABC transporters are found in all organisms and almost every cellular compartment. They mediate the transport of various solutes across membranes, energized by ATP binding and hydrolysis. Dysfunctions can result in severe diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or antibiotic resistance. In type IV ABC transporters, each of the two nucleotide-binding domains is connected to a transmembrane domain by two coupling helices, which are part of cytosolic loops. Although there are many structural snapshots of different conformations, the interdomain communication is still enigmatic. Therefore, we analyzed the function of three conserved, charged residues in the intra-cytosolic loop 1 of the human homodimeric, lysosomal peptide transporter TAPL. Substitution of D278 in coupling helix 1 by alanine interrupted peptide transport by impeding ATP hydrolysis. Alanine substitution of R288 and D292, both localized next to the coupling helix 1 extending to transmembrane helix 3, reduced peptide transport but increased basal ATPase activity. Surprisingly, the ATPase activity of the R288A variant dropped in a peptide-dependent manner while ATPase activity of wildtype and D292A was unaffected. Interestingly, R288A and D292A mutants did not differentiate between ATP and GTP in respect of hydrolysis. However, in contrast to wildtype TAPL, only ATP energized peptide transport. In sum, D278 seems to be involved in bidirectional interdomain communication mediated by network of polar interactions while the two residues in the cytosolic extension of TMH3 are involved in regulation of ATP hydrolysis, most likely by stabilization of the outward facing conformation.
Hidradenitis suppurativa ist eine multifaktoriell-bedingte chronisch entzündliche Hauterkrankung, die durch eine Okklusion der Talgdrüseneinheit des Haarfollikels entsteht. Aus der anschließend mit Entzündung einhergehenden Ruptur des Haarfollikels entwickeln sich entzündliche Knoten, Abszesse und Fistelgänge. (39–41) In der weiteren Progression der Erkrankung kommt es zur Störung der Hautarchitektur und fibrotischen Narbenbildungen. (52) Durch Untersuchungen des entzündlichen Infiltrates konnte bereits die Beteiligung einer Reihe von Immunzellen und Entzündungsmediatoren identifiziert werden. Hierzu zählen Makrophagen, neutrophile Granulozyten, Dendritische Zellen, Lymphozyten, IL-1β sowie TNF-α. (41,45,46,51,53) Da die genaue Pathophysiologie der Hidradenitis suppurativa bislang unzureichend aufgeklärt ist, gibt es aktuell keine kausale Therapiemöglichkeit für die Betroffenen. (52) Die Wahl der Therapie wird anhand der Bewertung des Schweregrades nach Hurley getroffen. (25) Obwohl meisten Patientinnen und Patienten von der milden bis mittelschweren Form der Hidradenitis suppurativa (Hurley I und Hurley II) betroffen sind (98), werden die meisten Arzneimittel für die Behandlung von Hurley II und Hurley III von den Leitlinien empfohlen. Zu den empfohlenen Medikamenten gehören u. a. Rifampicin, meist in Kombination mit Clindamycin, sowie der TNF-α-Inhibitor Adalimumab (18,85), welche effektiv und systemisch wirken. Durch die entstehenden Nebenwirkungen wäre die Behandlung der milden bis mittelschweren Hidradenitis suppurativa mit diesen Medikamenten allerdings unverhältnismäßig. Um jedoch den im Verlauf der Krankheit entstehenden Hautdestruktionen vorbeugen zu können, müssten die Medikamente möglichst früh eingesetzt werden. (228) Vor diesem Hintergrund sollte in Kooperation mit dem Institut für Pharmazeutische Technologie der Goethe Universität Frankfurt eine Rifampicin-Nanoformulierung zur Behandlung milder bis mittelschwerer Hidradenitis suppurativa entwickelt und im Labor der dermatologischen Klinik präklinisch validiert werden.
Daher wurde im ersten Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Epidermismodell aus der Haut betroffener Patientinnen und Patienten generiert, um die Rifampicin-Nanoformulierung validieren zu können. Dieses wies eine mehrschichtige Epidermis mit allen wichtigen Differenzierungsmarkern ähnlich der läsionalen Hidradenitis suppurativa auf und schüttete die proinflammatorischen Zytokine IL-1β und TNF-α aus. Als weiteres Modell wurden ex vivo Explantate aus läsionaler Hidradenitis suppurativa Haut etabliert. Für die Bewertung der Validität der Explantatkulturen wurde die Morphologie und Integrität der Epidermis mittels Hämatoxylin-Eosin sowie der Proliferationsmarker Ki-67 näher beleuchtet. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wurden Untersuchungen für die Festlegung eines Konzentrationsbereichs, unter Verwendung von Rifampicin in DMSO gelöst als in vitro Behandlung, durchgeführt.
Hierbei wurde gezeigt, dass die eingesetzten Konzentrationen keine negativen Effekte bezüglich Proliferationsfähigkeit der Keratinozyten oder Apoptoseinduktion ausüben. Die Behandlung von nicht entzündlichen Epidermismodellen sowie Explantatkulturen mit der Rifampicin-Nanoformulierung mit einem Wirkstoffgehalt von 0,3 % führte ebenfalls zu keinen Proliferationsverlusten, induzierte keine Apoptose oder Zytotoxizität und hatte keinen Einfluss auf die Differenzierung der Keratinozyten. Im letzten Teil der Arbeit sollte die Wirksamkeit der Rifampicin-Nanoformulierung näher beleuchtet werden. Als Antibiotikum inhibiert Rifampicin die DNA-abhängige RNA-Polymerase von Bakterien (107,108), weshalb es bei der Behandlung der Tuberkulose eingesetzt wird. (111–113) Die Hidradenitis suppurativa ist aber primär keine Infektionskrankheit, sondern eine von Bakterien getriggerte, entzündliche Erkrankung. (19,52,82) Aus diesem Grund ist der positive Effekt der systemischen Rifampicintherapie vermutlich vielmehr auf eine antiphlogistische Wirkung zurückzuführen. Diese Überlegung wird durch mehrere Artikel gestützt, die zeigten, dass Rifampicin die Ausschüttung von IL-1β und TNF-α in unterschiedlichen in vitro und in vivo Modellen hemmt. (89–91,96,97) Die anschließenden Untersuchungen zur Wirksamkeit einer in vitro Rifampicinbehandlung bestätigten die antientzündliche Wirkung in den Explantatkulturen indem es die Sekretion von IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 und TNF-α verminderte. Ebenso senkte die Rifampicin-Nanoformulierung die Ausschüttung von IL-1β in den ex vivo Explantaten, was somit die in der klinischen Praxis beobachteten antiinflammatorischen Wirkung von Rifampicin belegt. Des Weiteren stellte sich in Untersuchungen heraus, dass Rifampicin zu einer reduzierten Zahl CD4(+)-T-Zellen führte, aber auf die CD3(+)-T-Zellen keine Auswirkungen hatte, was auf eine Veränderung des T-Zell Phänotyps hinweist.
Aufgrund der vorliegenden Ergebnisse zur Validierung der Rifampicin-Nanoformulierung, spricht nichts gegen die Testung der Rifampicin-Nanoformulierung in einem individuellen Heilversuch am Menschen.
Der Natrium-abhängige Kaliumkanal Slack (KNa1.1, Slo2.2, KCNT1) nimmt eine Schlüsselrolle in der Regulation neuronaler Erregbarkeit ein, indem er die Ausbildung und Feuerungsfrequenz von Aktionspotentialen kontrolliert. Sowohl in Mäusen als auch in Menschen wird Slack besonders hoch in nicht-peptidergen C-Faser-Neuronen exprimiert. Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse der letzten Jahre konnten die Beteiligung von Slack-Kanälen in der Signalverarbeitung neuropathischer Schmerzen, aber auch in verschiedenen Arten von Pruritus, feststellen. Dabei zeigen Slack-defiziente Mäuse ein verstärktes mechanisches Schmerzverhalten nach einer peripheren Nervenverletzung und ein erhöhtes Kratzverhalten in akuten Juckreiz-Modellen. Das als Slack-Aktivator identifizierte trizyklische Neuroleptikum Loxapin zeigt sowohl analgetische als auch antipruritische Effekte in Mäusen, jedoch ist sein klinischer Einsatz auf Grund schwerwiegender antipsychotischer Nebenwirkungen limitiert. Basierend auf Loxapins Leitstruktur wurden daher in dieser Arbeit neue Slack-Aktivatoren mit einem verbesserten pharmakologischen Profil designed und ihr Potential für die Therapie von Schmerzen sowie akutem und chronischem Pruritus in vivo untersucht.

Exploring strategies to improve the reverse beta-oxidation pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2024)
Microbes are the most diverse living organisms on Earth, with various metabolic adaptations that allow them to live in different conditions and produce compounds with different chemical complexity. Microbial biotechnology exploits the metabolic diversity of microorganisms to manufacture products for different industries. Today, the chemical industry is a significant energy consumer and carbon dioxide emitter, with processes that harm natural ecosystems, like the extraction of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). MCFAs are used as precursors for biofuels, volatile esters, surfactants, or polymers in materials with enhanced properties.
However, their current extraction process uses large, non-sustainable monocultures of coconut and palm trees. Therefore, the microbial production of MCFAs can help reduce the current environmental impact of obtaining these products and their derivatives.
In nature, fatty acids are mostly produced via fatty acid biosynthesis (FAB). However, the reverse β-oxidation (rBOX) is a more energy-efficient pathway compared to FAB. The rBOX pathway consists of four reactions, which result in the elongation of an acyl-CoA molecule by two carbon units from acetyl-CoA in each cycle. In this work we used Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an organism with a high tolerance towards toxic compounds, as the expression host of the rBOX pathway to produce MCFAs and medium-chain fatty alcohols (MCFOHs).
In the first part of this work, we expanded the length of the products from expressing the rBOX in the cytosol and increased the MCFAs titres. First, we deleted the major glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD2). This resulted in a platform strain with significantly reduced glycerol fermentation and increased rBOX pathway activity, probably due to an increased availability of NADH. Then, we tested different combinations of rBOX enzymes to increase the length and titres of MCFA. Expressing the thiolase CnbktB and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase CnpaaH1 from Cupriavidus necator, Cacrt from Clostridium acetobutylicum and the trans-enoyl-CoA reductase Tdter (Treponema denticola) resulted in hexanoic acid as the main product.
Expressing Cncrt2 (C. necator) or YlECH (Y. lipolytica) as enoyl-CoA hydratases resulted in octanoic acid as the main product. Then, we integrated the octanoic (Cncrt2 or YlECH) and the hexanoic acid (Cacrt)-producing variants in the genome of the platform strain and we achieved titers of ≈75 mg/L (hexanoic acid) and ≈ 60 mg/L (octanoic acid) when growing these strains in a complex, highly buffered medium. These are the highest titers of octanoic and hexanoic acid obtained in S. cerevisiae with the rBOX. Additionally, we deleted TES1 and FAA2 to prevent competition for butyryl-CoA and degradation of the produced fatty acids, respectively.
However, these deletions did not improve MCFA titers. In addition, we tested two dual acyl-CoA reductase/alcohol dehydrogenases (ACR/ADH), CaadhE2 from C. acetobutylicum and the putative ACR/ADH EceutE from Escherichia coli, in an octanoyl-CoA-producing strain to produce MCFOH. As a result, we produced 1-hexanol and 1-octanol for the first time in S. cerevisiae with these two enzymes. Nonetheless, the titres were low (<10 mg/L and <2 mg/L, respectively), and four-carbon 1-butanol was the main product in both cases (>80 mg/L). This showed the preference of these two enzymes for butyryl-CoA.
In the second part of this work, we expressed the rBOX in the mitochondria of S. cerevisiae to benefit from the high levels of acetyl-CoA and the reducing environment in that organelle. First, in an adh-deficient strain, we mutated MTH1, a transcription factor regulating the expression of hexose transporters, and deleted GPD2. This resulted in a strain with a reduced Crabtree effect and, therefore, an increased carbon flux to the mitochondria. We partially validated the increased flux to the mitochondria by expressing the ethanol-acetyltransferase EAT1 from Kluyveromyces marxianus in this organelle. This resulted in a higher isoamyl acetate production in the MTH1-mutant strain. Isoamyl acetate is synthesised by Eat1 from acetyl-CoA and isoamyl alcohol, a product of the metabolism of amino acids in the mitochondria. Then, we targeted different butyryl-CoA-producing rBOX variants to the mitochondria, and we used the production of 1-butanol and butyric acid as a proof-of-concept. The strong expression of all the enzymes was toxic for the cell, and the highest butyric acid titres (≈ 50 mg/L) in the mitochondria from the rBOX were obtained from the weak expression of the pathway. The highest 1-butanol titers (≈ 5 mg/L) were obtained with the downregulation of the mitochondrial NADH-oxidase NDI1. However, this downregulation led to a non-desirable petite phenotype.
In summary, we produced hexanoic and octanoic acid for the first time in S. cerevisiae using the rBOX and achieved the highest reported titers of hexanoic and octanoic acid so far using this pathway in S. cerevisiae. In addition, we successfully compartmentalised the rBOX in the mitochondria. However, competing reactions, some of them essential for the viability of the cell, limit the use of this organelle for the rBOX.
Climate change affects ecosystems worldwide and is threatening biodiversity. Insects, as ectotherm organisms, are strongly dependent on the thermal environment. Yet, little is known about the effects of summer heat and drought on insect diversity. In the Mediterranean climate zone, a region strongly affected by climate change, hot summers might have severe effects on insect communities. Especially the larval stage might be sensitive to thermal variation, as larvae—compared to other life stages—cannot avoid hot temperatures and drought by dormancy. Here we ask, whether inter-annual fluctuations in Mediterranean moth diversity can be explained by temperature (TLarv) and precipitation during larval development (HLarv). To address our question, we analyzed moth communities of a Mediterranean coastal forest during the last 20 years. For species with summer-developing larvae, species richness was significantly negatively correlated with TLarv, while the community composition was affected by both, TLarv and HLarv. Therefore, summer-developing larvae seem particularly sensitive to climate change, as hot summers might exceed the larval temperature optima and drought reduces food plant quality. Increasing frequency and severity of temperature and drought extremes due to climate change, therefore, might amplify insect decline in the future.
Alternating acquisition of background and sample spectra is often employed in conventional Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy or ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy for accurate background subtraction. For example, for solvent background correction, typically a spectrum of a cuvette with solvent is measured and subtracted from a spectrum of a cuvette with solvent and solute. Ultrafast spectroscopies, though, come with many peculiarities that make the collection of well-matched, subtractable background and sample spectra challenging. Here, we present a demountable split-sample cell in combination with a modified Lissajous scanner to overcome these challenges. It allows for quasi-simultaneous measurements of background and sample spectra, mitigating the effects of drifts of the setup and maintaining the beam and sample geometry when swapping between background and sample measurements. The cell is moving between subsequent laser shots to refresh the excited sample volume. With less than 45 μl of solution for 150 μm optical thickness, sample usage is economical. Cell assembly is a key step and covered in an illustrated protocol.
Hepatic cells are sensitive to internal and external signals. Ethanol is one of the oldest and most widely used drugs in the world. The focus on the mechanistic engine of the alcohol-induced injury has been in the liver, which is responsible for the pathways of alcohol metabolism. Ethanol undergoes a phase I type of reaction, mainly catalyzed by the cytoplasmic enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and by the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system (MEOS). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by cytochrome (CYP) 2E1 activity and MEOS contribute to ethanol-induced toxicity. We aimed to: (1) Describe the cellular, pathophysiological and clinical effects of alcohol misuse on the liver; (2) Select the biomarkers and analytical methods utilized by the clinical laboratory to assess alcohol exposure; (3) Provide therapeutic ideas to prevent/reduce alcohol-induced liver injury; (4) Provide up-to-date knowledge regarding the Corona virus and its affect on the liver; (5) Link rare diseases with alcohol consumption. The current review contributes to risk identification of patients with alcoholic, as well as non-alcoholic, liver disease and metabolic syndrome. Additional prevalence of ethnic, genetic, and viral vulnerabilities are presented.
Mitochondrial RNA granules (MRGs) are membraneless, highly specialized compartments that play an essential role in the post-transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial gene expression. This regulation is crucial for maintaining energy production, controlling metabolic functions and ensuring homeostasis in cells. Dysregulation of mitochondrial genes has been linked to various human diseases, including neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders as well as certain types of cancer.
MRGs are composed of different RNA species, including mitochondrial precursor RNA (pre-RNA), mature tRNAs, rRNAs and mRNAs complexed with multiple proteins involved in RNA processing and mitoribosome assembly. However, despite the significance of MRGs, their protein composition, structural organization, stability and dynamics during stress conditions remain elusive. In the study reported here, I adopted a three-step approach to address the aforementioned fundamental issues.
First and foremost, I identified the protein composition of MRGs and unveiled their architectural complexity. To characterize the MRG proteome, I applied the cutting-edge TurboID-based proximity labeling approach combined with quantitative mass spectrometry. Proximity labeling was conducted on 20 distinct MRG-associated human proteins, resulting in the identification of more than 1,700 protein-protein interactions. This expansive dataset enabled me to create a comprehensive network, providing valuable insights into both the (sub)architecture as well as the core structure of MRGs in-depth.
Secondly, I investigated the spatio-temporal dynamics of MRGs under various mitochondrial stress conditions. To monitor the morphological alterations and compositional changes of MRGs, I utilized time-resolved confocal fluorescence microscopy and proteomics, respectively. In this analysis, I applied IMT1, the first specific inhibitor that selectively targets mitochondrial transcription. Using this methodology, I pinpointed precise conditions that triggered MRGs’ disassembly during stress, followed by their reassembly when nascent RNA production was restored. The results of this examination elucidate that MRGs are highly dynamic and stress adaptive structures, capable of rapid dissolution and reassembly, a process closely connected to mitochondrial transcription.
Thirdly, I aimed to explore the impact of RNA turnover on MRGs’ integrity during stress, employing confocal fluorescence microscopy and quantitative real-time PCR. I observed that depletion of MRG proteins associated with RNA degradation counteracts MRGs’ disassembly under stress conditions, a phenomenon attributed to the accumulation of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). These results emphasize the critical role of pre-RNA turnover in maintaining MRG integrity and reveal that MRGs can be stabilized by dsRNA.
Taken together, the comprehensive investigation reported in this thesis has substantially broadened and deepened our understanding of MRGs’ complexity. By identifying their molecular structure and dynamics, I have gained significant insights into the fundamental characteristics and biological functions of MRGs in cellular processes. This knowledge contributes to the identification of disease-related pathways linked to mitochondrial gene expression and may inspire future studies to develop novel therapeutic approaches.
A plethora of modified nucleotides extends the chemical and conformational space for natural occurring RNAs. tRNAs constitute the class of RNAs with the highest modification rate. The extensive modification modulates their overall stability, the fidelity and efficiency of translation. However, the impact of nucleotide modifications on the local structural dynamics is not well characterized. Here we show that the incorporation of the modified nucleotides in tRNAfMet from Escherichia coli leads to an increase in the local conformational dynamics, ultimately resulting in the stabilization of the overall tertiary structure. Through analysis of the local dynamics by NMR spectroscopic methods we find that, although the overall thermal stability of the tRNA is higher for the modified molecule, the conformational fluctuations on the local level are increased in comparison to an unmodified tRNA. In consequence, the melting of individual base pairs in the unmodified tRNA is determined by high entropic penalties compared to the modified. Further, we find that the modifications lead to a stabilization of long-range interactions harmonizing the stability of the tRNA’s secondary and tertiary structure. Our results demonstrate that the increase in chemical space through introduction of modifications enables the population of otherwise inaccessible conformational substates.
Research in social insects has shown that hydrocarbons on their cuticle are species-specific. This has also been proven for Diptera and is a promising tool for identifying important fly taxa in Forensic Entomology. Sometimes the empty puparia, in which the metamorphosis to the adult fly has taken place, can be the most useful entomological evidence at the crime scene. However, so far, they are used with little profit in criminal investigations due to the difficulties of reliably discriminate among different species. We analysed the CHC chemical profiles of empty puparia from seven forensically important blow flies Calliphora vicina, Chrysomya albiceps, Lucilia caesar, Lucilia sericata, Lucilia silvarum, Protophormia terraenovae, Phormia regina and the flesh fly Sarcophaga caerulescens. The aim was to use their profiles for identification but also investigate geographical differences by comparing profiles of the same species (here: C. vicina and L. sericata) from different regions. The cuticular hydrocarbons were extracted with hexane and analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Our results reveal distinguishing differences within the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles allowing for identification of all analysed species. There were also differences shown in the profiles of C. vicina from Germany, Spain, Norway and England, indicating that geographical locations can be determined from this chemical analysis. Differences in L. sericata, sampled from England and two locations in Germany, were less pronounced, but there was even some indication that it may be possible to distinguish populations within Germany that are about 70 km apart from one another.
Mining is one of the major pollution sources worldwide, causing huge disturbances to the environment. Industrial and artisanal mining activities are widespread in Mexico, a major global producer of various metals. This study aimed to assess the ecological impairments resulting from mining activities using aquatic macroinvertebrates assemblages (MA). A multiple co-inertia analysis was applied to determine the relationships between environmental factors, habitat quality, heavy metals, and aquatic macroinvertebrates in 15 study sites in two different seasons (dry and wet) along two rivers running across the Central Plateau of Mexico. The results revealed three contrasting environmental conditions associated with different MAs. High concentrations of heavy metals, nutrients, and salinity limit the presence of several families of seemingly sensitive macroinvertebrates. These factors were found to influence structural changes in MAs, showing that not only mining activities, but also agriculture and presence of villages in the basin, exert adverse effects on macroinvertebrate assemblages. Diversity indices showed that the lowest diversity matched both the most polluted and the most saline rivers. The rivers studied displayed high alkalinity and hardness levels, which can reduce the availability of metals and cause adverse effects on periphyton by inhibiting photosynthesis and damaging MAs. Aquatic biomonitoring in rivers, impacted by mining and other human activities, is critical for detecting the effect of metals and other pollutants to improve management and conservation strategies. This study supports the design of cost-effective and accurate water quality biomonitoring protocols in developing countries.
Dynamic imaging of landmark organelles, such as nuclei, cell membrane, nuclear envelope, and lipid droplets enables image-based phenotyping of functional states of cells. Multispectral fluorescent imaging of landmark organelles requires labor-intensive labeling, limits throughput, and compromises cell health. Virtual staining of label-free images with deep neural networks is an emerging solution for this problem. Multiplexed imaging of cellular landmarks from scattered light and subsequent demultiplexing with virtual staining saves the light spectrum for imaging additional molecular reporters, photomanipulation, or other tasks. Published approaches for virtual staining of landmark organelles are fragile in the presence of nuisance variations in imaging, culture conditions, and cell types. This paper reports model training protocols for virtual staining of nuclei and membranes robust to label-free imaging parameters, cell states, and cell types. We developed a flexible and scalable convolutional architecture, named UNeXt2, for supervised training and self-supervised pre-training. The strategies we report here enable robust virtual staining of nuclei and cell membranes in multiple cell types, including neuromasts of zebrafish, across a range of imaging conditions. We assess the models by comparing the intensity, segmentations, and application-specific measurements obtained from virtually stained and experimentally stained nuclei and membranes. The models rescue the missing label, non-uniform expression of labels, and photobleaching. We share three pre-trained models, named VSCyto3D, VSCyto2D, and VSNeuromast, as well as VisCy, a PyTorch-based pipeline for training, inference, and deployment that leverages the modern OME-Zarr format.
This work aimed to investigate the regulation and activity of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), the central enzyme in leukotriene biosynthesis, in two colorectal cancer cell lines. The leukotriene pathway is positively correlated with the progression of several solid malignancies; however, factors regulating 5-LO expression and activity in tumors are poorly understood.
Cancer development, as well as cancer progression, are strongly dependent on the tumor microenvironment. In the conventional monolayer culture of cancer cell lines, cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions present in native tumors are absent. Furthermore, it is already known that various colon cancer cell lines dysregulate several important signaling pathways due to 3D growth. Therefore, the expression of the leukotriene cascade in HT-29 and HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells was investigated within a three-dimensional context using multicellular tumor spheroids to mimic a more physiological environment compared to conventional cell culture. Especially the expression of 5-LO, cPLA2α, and LTA4 hydrolase was altered due to threedimensional (3D) cell growth, which was investigated by qPCR and Western blot analysis. High cellular density in monolayer cultures led to similar results. The observed 5-LO upregulation was found inversely correlated with cell proliferation, determined by cell cycle analysis, and activation of PI3K/mTORC-2- and MEK-1/ERK-dependent pathways, determined using pharmacological pathway inhibition, stable shRNA knockdown cell lines, and analysis via qPCR and Western blot analysis. Following, the transcription factor E2F1 and its target gene MYBL2 were identified to play a role in the repression of 5-LO during cell proliferation. For this purpose, several stable MYBL2 over-expression and ALOX5 reporter cell lines were prepared and analyzed. Since 5-LO was already identified as a direct p53 target gene, the influence of p53, which is variably expressed in the cell lines (HT-29, p53 R273H mut; HCT-116 p53 wt; HCT-116 p53 KO), was investigated as well. Furthermore, HCT-116 cells carrying a p53 knockout were investigated. The PI3K/mTORC-2- and MEK-1/ERK-dependent suppression of 5-LO was also found in tumor cells from other origins (Capan-2, Caco-2, MCF-7), which was determined using pharmacological pathway inhibition and following analysis via qPCR. This suggests that the identified mechanism might apply to other tumor entities as well.
5-LO activity was previously described as attenuated in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells compared to polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which express a highly active 5-LO. However, the present study showed that the enzyme activity is indeed low but inducible in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells. Of note, the general lipid mediator profile and the mediator concentrations were comparable to those of M2 macrophages. Finally, the analysis of substrate availability in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells revealed a vast difference between formed metabolite concentrations and supplemented fatty acid concentrations, indicating that the substrates are either transformed into lipoxygenase-independent metabolites or are esterified into the cellular membrane.
In summary, the data presented in this work demonstrate that 5-LO expression and activity are tightly regulated in HT-29 and HCT-116 cells and fine-tuned due to environmental conditions. The cells suppress 5-LO during proliferation but upregulate the expression and activity of the enzyme under cellular stress-triggering conditions. This implies a possible role of 5-LO in manipulating the tumor stroma to support a tumor-promoting microenvironment.
Echolocating bats exhibit remarkable auditory behaviors, enabled by adaptations within and outside their auditory system. Yet, research in echolocating bats has focused mostly on brain areas that belong to the classic ascending auditory pathway. This study provides direct evidence linking the cerebellum, an evolutionarily ancient and non-classic auditory structure, to vocalization and hearing. We report that in the fruit-eating bat Carollia perspicillata, external sounds can evoke cerebellar responses with latencies below 20 ms. Such fast responses are indicative of early inputs to the bat cerebellum. In vocalizing bats, distinct spike train patterns allow the prediction with over 85% accuracy of the sound they are about to produce, or have just produced, i.e., communication calls or echolocation pulses. Taken together, our findings provide evidence of specializations for vocalization and hearing in the cerebellum of an auditory specialist.
On the potential for GWAS with phenotypic population means and allele-frequency data (popGWAS)
(2024)
This study explores the potential of a novel genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach for identifying loci underlying quantitative polygenic traits in natural populations. Extensive population genetic forward simulations demonstrate that the approach is generally effective for oligogenic and moderately polygenic traits and relatively insensitive to low heritability, but applicability is limited for highly polygenic architectures and pronounced population structure. The required sample size is moderate with very good results being obtained already for a few dozen populations scored. The method performs well in predicting population means even with a moderate false positive rate. When combined with machine learning for feature selection, this rate can be further reduced. The data efficiency of the method, particularly when using pooled sequencing, makes GWAS studies more accessible for research in biodiversity genomics. Overall, this study highlights the promise of this popGWAS approach for dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits in natural populations.
Abstract
Seed harvesting from wild plant populations is key for ecological restoration, but may threaten the persistence of source populations. Consequently, several countries have set guidelines limiting the proportions of harvestable seeds. However, these guidelines are so far inconsistent, and they lack a solid empirical basis. Here, we use high-resolution data from 298 plant species to model the demographic consequences of seed harvesting. We find that the current guidelines do not protect populations of annuals and short-lived perennials, while they are overly restrictive for long-lived plants. We show that the maximum possible fraction of seed production – what can be harvested without compromising the long-term persistence of populations – is strongly related to the generation time of the target species. When harvesting every year, this safe seed fraction ranges from 80% in long-lived species to 2% in most annuals. Less frequent seed harvesting substantially increases the safe seed fraction: In the most vulnerable annual species, it is safe to harvest 5%, 10% or 30% of population seed production when harvesting every two, five or ten years, respectively. Our results provide a quantitative basis for seed harvesting legislations worldwide, based on species’ generation time and harvesting regime.
Significance The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, 2021-2030, foresees upscaling restoration, and the demand for native seed is skyrocketing. Seeds for restoring native vegetation are often harvested in wild, but too intensive harvest can threaten the donor populations. Existing guidelines that set limits to wild seed harvest are mostly based on expert opinions, yet they commonly lack empirical basis and vary among regions in one order of magnitude. We show that the current guidelines urgently need to be reformulated, because they are overly restrictive in long-lived species, while they do not protect annual plants from extinction. Using matrix population models of nearly 300 plant species, we provide a quantitative basis for a new seed harvesting legislation world-wide.
Cyclin CLB2 mRNA localization and protein synthesis link cell cycle progression to bud growth
(2024)
Clb2 is a conserved mitotic B-type cyclin, the levels of which are finely controlled to drive progression through the cell cycle. While it is known that CLB2 transcription and Clb2 protein degradation are important for precise control of its expression, it remains unclear whether the synthesis of Clb2 is also regulated. To address whether and how Clb2 expression levels respond to cell growth changes and adapt cell cycle progression, we combined single-cell and single-molecule imaging methods to measure CLB2 mRNA and protein expression throughout the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle. We found that the CLB2 mRNA was efficiently localized to the yeast bud as soon as this compartment was formed, but strikingly the Clb2 protein accumulated in the mother nucleus. The CLB2 mRNA localization in the yeast bud by the She2-3 complex did not control protein localization but rather promoted CLB2 translation. Moreover, CLB2 mRNA bud localization and protein synthesis were coupled and dependent on a single secondary structure -a ZIP code-located in the coding sequence. In a CLB2 ZIP code mutant, mRNA localization was impaired and Clb2 protein synthesis decreased, resulting in changes in cell cycle distribution and increased size of daughter cells at birth. Finally, while in WT cells the Clb2 protein concentration followed bud growth, this relationship was impaired in the ZIP code mutant. We propose that S. cerevisiae couples the control of CLB2 mRNA bud localization and protein synthesis to coordinate cell growth and cell cycle progression. This mechanism extends our knowledge of CLB2 expression regulation, and constitutes a novel function for mRNA localization.
Research on the human and animal microbiome has become increasingly important in recent years. It is now widely accepted the gut microbiome is of crucial importance to health, as it is involved in a large number of physiological processes. The term ‘microbiome’ refers to the all living microorganisms including their genes and metabolites in a defined environment, while the specific composition of microorganisms consisting of bacteria, archaea and protozoa is referred to as the ‘microbiota’ (Lane-Petter, 1962; Lederberg and McCray, 2001).
In recent years, research has focused on various of these communities in the soil (Fierer, 2017), water (Sunagawa et al., 2015), air (Leung et al., 2014) and especially in the human gut. However, this topic is also becoming increasingly relevant for the conservation of endangered species. In the face of global mass extinctions and the listing of over 42,000 animal species as ‘critically endangered’, conservation breeding programmes are more important than ever (Díaz et al., 2019; IUCN, 2022). The responsibility for these tasks lies with zoological institutions, which are dedicated to animal conservation and the continuous monitoring of animal welfare. Microbiome research offers a non-invasive method to support species conservation. By analysing faecal samples, microbial markers can be identified that provide important information about the health status and reproductive cycle of animals (Weingrill et al., 2004; Antwis et al., 2019). Zoological facilities also provide an ideal research environment for comparing individuals from different habitats. In addition, all necessary metadata such as age, sex, kinship or medical treatment are documented and can be used for the analysis.
This is the starting point for this thesis. In order to identify such microbial markers, it is necessary to understand the microbiome of a variety of animal species. The first aim is therefore to characterise the faecal microbiota of 31 mammalian species, focusing on herbivores and carnivores. It could be shown that they differ significantly in terms of both microbial diversity and microbiota composition. Herbivorous species express a very diverse microbial composition, consisting mainly of cellulose-degrading taxa of the families Fibrobacteraceae or Spirochaetaceae. In contrast, the microbiota of carnivorous species is less diverse and is dominated by protein-degrading Fusobacteriaceae and Clostridiaceae. In addition, this thesis proves that the microbiota of herbivorous species is highly consistent, whereas the microbiota of carnivorous species is highly variable. The results of this study provide important insights for the sampling scheme of future projects. Especially when analysing carnivorous species, single samples are not sufficient to capture the full variability of the microbiome.
These results lead to the question of whether this variability can be explained by daily fluctuations in the individual microbiome and whether this can be used to distinguish between species or individuals. Using individual longitudinal data and a combined approach of clustering algorithms and dynamic time warping, it is shown that such a distinction is possible at the species and individual level. This was confirmed for both a carnivorous (Panthera tigris) and a herbivorous (Connochaetes taurinus) species. These results confirm the influence of the host individual on the faecal microbiota, in addition to the often described influence of diet (Ley et al., 2008a; Kartzinel et al., 2019).
Based on the knowledge gained from these studies, a methodology has been developed that will enable the conservation of species in the field to be supported by microbiome research in the future. The focus here lays on the identification of host-specific metadata based on the faecal microbiota. The developed regression model is able to distinguish between carnivorous, herbivorous and omnivorous hosts with up to 99% accuracy. In addition, a more accurate phylogenetic classification of the family (Canidae, Felidae, Ursidae, Herpestidae) can be made for carnivorous hosts. For herbivorous hosts, the model can predict the respective digestive system with up to 100% accuracy, distinguishing between ruminants, hindgut fermenters and a simple digestive system. The acquisition of host-specific metadata from an unknown faecal sample is an important step towards establishing microbiome research in species conservation. Field studies in particular will benefit from such new methods. Usually, costly microsatellite analysis and high-quality host DNA are required to obtain host-specific information from faecal samples. The newly developed method offers a less costly and labour-intensive alternative to conventional techniques and opens up a more accessible field for microbiome research in the field.
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-dependent and -independent pathways mediate curcumin anti-aging effects
(2022)
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor whose activity can be modulated by polyphenols, such as curcumin. AhR and curcumin have evolutionarily conserved effects on aging. Here, we investigated whether and how the AhR mediates the anti-aging effects of curcumin across species. Using a combination of in vivo, in vitro, and in silico analyses, we demonstrated that curcumin has AhR-dependent or -independent effects in a context-specific manner. We found that in Caenorhabditis elegans, AhR mediates curcumin-induced lifespan extension, most likely through a ligand-independent inhibitory mechanism related to its antioxidant activity. Curcumin also showed AhR-independent anti-aging activities, such as protection against aggregation-prone proteins and oxidative stress in C. elegans and promotion of the migratory capacity of human primary endothelial cells. These AhR-independent effects are largely mediated by the Nrf2/SKN-1 pathway.
Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection associated with high mortality, partly due to delayed diagnosis and inadequate empiric therapy. As fungal cultures often fail to grow Mucorales, identification of respective hyphae in tissue is frequently needed for diagnosis but may be challenging. We studied fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) targeting specific regions of the fungal ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of Mucorales to improve diagnosis of mucormycosis from tissue samples. We generated a probe combination specifically targeting Mucorales. Probe specificity was verified in silico and using cultivated fungi. Mucorales hyphae in tissue of a mouse model demonstrated a bright cytoplasmatic hybridization signal. In tissue samples of patients with mucormycosis, a positive signal was seen in 7 of 12 (58.3%) samples. However, autofluorescence in 3 of 7 (42.9%) samples impaired the diagnostic yield. Subsequent experiments suggested that availability of nutrients and antifungal therapy may impact on the FISH signal obtained with Mucorales hyphae. Diagnosis of mucormycosis from tissue might be improved by rRNA FISH in a limited number of cases only. FISH signals may reflect different wphysiological states of fungi in tissue. Further studies are needed to define the value of FISH to diagnose mucormycosis from other clinical samples.
Chronische Entzündungen und die daraus resultierenden Morbiditäten gehören zu den häufigsten Ursachen für einen frühen Tod beim Menschen. Einer der Hauptfaktoren für die Verschlechterung des Gesundheitszustands bei Patienten mit chronischen-entzündlichen Erkrankungen ist die pathologische Infiltration von Leukozyten in gesundes Gewebe, die zu Gewebeschäden und dem Fortschreiten der Krankheit führt. Das vaskuläre Endothel, das die Innenseite der Blutgefäße auskleidet, spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entzündungsreaktion, da es als Schnittstelle für die Interaktion mit Leukozyten fungiert, um die Extravasation von Leukozyten aus dem Blutstrom in das Gewebe zu ermöglichen. Die Adhäsion von Leukozyten an die Zellen des Endothels wird dabei hauptsächlich durch die von Zytokinen ausgelösten pro-inflammatorischen NFκB- und AP-1-Signalkaskaden ermöglicht, die die Hochregulierung der wichtigsten endothelialen Adhäsionsmoleküle – ICAM-1, VCAM-1 und E-Selektin – bewirken. Eine Klasse von Wirkstoffen, die für ihre entzündungshemmenden Eigenschaften und ihren Nutzen bei der Behandlung chronischer Entzündungskrankheiten bekannt sind, sind die Mikrotubuli-bindenden-Substanzen (microtubule-targeting-agents; MTAs), die nachweislich auch den Entzündungszustand in den Zellen des Endothels und die Leukozyten-Adhäsionskaskade beeinflussen können. MTAs lassen sich in Mikrotubuli-Destabilisatoren, die eine Depolymerisation des Mikrotubuli-Zytoskeletts bewirken, und Mikrotubuli-Stabilisatoren, die die Depolymerisation der Mikrotubuli verhindern, unterteilen. Die zugrundeliegenden biomolekularen Vorgänge und Wirkungen, die die MTAs auf die Zellen des Gefäßendothels haben, und wie sie die Adhäsionskaskade der Leukozyten beeinflussen, sind jedoch weitgehend unbekannt.
Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Auswirkungen des neuartigen Mikrotubuli-Destabilisators Prätubulysin, eines Vorläufers der Tubulysine, die ursprünglich in Stämmen des Myxobakteriums Angiococcus disciformis entdeckt wurden, auf die entzündlichen Prozesse zu untersuchen, die die Leukozyten-adhäsion in TNF-aktivierten primären Endothelzellen aus der menschlichen Nabelschnurvene (HUVECs) ermöglichen. Zusätzlich wurden auch die Auswirkungen der bereits klinisch etablierten Mikrotubuli-Destabilisatoren Colchicin und Vincristin sowie des Mikrotubuli-Stabilisators Paclitaxel untersucht.
Das entzündungshemmende Potenzial von Prätubulysin wurde daher zunächst in vivo in einem Imiquimod-induzierten psoriasiformen Dermatitis-Mausmodell getestet, wobei sich zeigte, dass Prätubulysin den Entzündungszustand deutlich verringert. Um zu beweisen, dass der entzündungshemmende Effekt mit einer verringerten Interaktion von Leukozyten mit dem Endothel zusammenhängt, wurde die Wirkung von Prätubulysin in vivo mittels Intravitalmikroskopie des TNF-aktivierten Kremaster-Muskels der Maus untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Behandlung mit Prätubulysin zu einer signifikant verringerten Adhäsion von Leukozyten an die Zellen des Gefäßendothels führte. Die verringerte Adhäsion von Leukozyten an Endothelzellen wurde auch in der in vitro Umgebung bestätigt, indem die Adhäsion von Leukozyten unter Flussbedingungen getestet wurde. Mittels Durchflusszytometrie, Western-Blot-Analyse, sowie qRT-PCR-Analyse der jeweiligen mRNA-Level konnte gezeigt werden, dass die verringerten Leukozyten-Interaktionen auf der verringerten Expression der Zelladhäsionsmoleküle ICAM-1 und VCAM-1 sowie teilweise von E-Selektin nach Behandlung mit Prätubulysin, Vincristin und Colchicin beruhen, wobei Paclitaxel keine signifikanten hemmenden Auswirkungen hatte. Weitere Untersuchungen des Einflusses von Prätubulysin auf die NFκB- und AP-1-Signalübertragung zeigten, dass diese intrazellulären Signalkaskaden durch Prätubulysin nicht behindert werden, wobei NFκB und AP-1 weitgehend in den Promotoren der Zelladhäsionsmoleküle angereichert waren, wie durch Chromatin-Immunpräzipitation nachgewiesen wurde. Darüber hinaus induzierte die Behandlung mit Prätubulysin die Aktivität der NFκB-induzierenden Kinase IKK und führte zu einem signifikanten Anstieg der Aktivität der AP-1 Upstream-Kinase JNK, wie eine Western Blot Analyse ergab. Die Prüfung der Transkriptionsaktivität von NFκB und AP-1 in Reportergen Assays zeigte, dass insbesondere die Mikrotubuli-Destabilisatoren die Promotoraktivität dieser Transkriptionsfaktoren in einer konzentrationsabhängigen Weise verringerten. Weitere Tests zur Abhängigkeit der durch Prätubulysin induzierten Hemmung der Zelladhäsionsmoleküle von der Aktivität der JNK zeigten, dass die Hemmung empfindlich auf die Aktivität dieser Kinase reagiert. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Inhibition der Aktivität der JNK die Expression der Zelladhäsionsmoleküle durch die Behandlung mit Prätubulysin auf mRNA und Proteinebene wiederherstellt. Mit Hilfe der Chromatin-Immunpräzipitation konnte weiterhin gezeigt werden, dass die Behandlung mit Prätubulysin zunächst die Assoziation des Bromodomänen-enthaltenden Proteins 4 mit den Promotoren/Genen von ICAM-1 und VCAM-1 erhöhte, aber zu einem behandlungszeitabhängigen Rückgang der Anreicherung führte. Darüber hinaus wurde durch die Behandlung mit Prätubulysin auch der Abbau dieses Proteins leicht erhöht. Durch den Einsatz eines JNK Inhibitors konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Verdrängung des Bromodomänen-enthaltenden Proteins 4 von icam-1 und vcam-1, sowie der erhöhte Abbau dieses Faktors auch von der Aktivität der JNK abhängig sind. Die Verdrängung des Bromodomänen-enthaltenden Proteins 4 induzierte auch das Vorhandensein von repressiven Chromatinmarkierungen in den Genen von ICAM-1 und VCAM-1. Die Prüfung der Anreicherung der RNA-Polymerase II an den Promotoren/Genen von ICAM-1 und VCAM-1 zeigte jedoch auch eine behandlungszeitabhängige differentielle Anreicherung dieser Polymerase, wobei die Anreicherung nach kurzen Behandlungszeiten reduziert war, sich nach mittleren Behandlungszeiten erholte und nach längeren Behandlungszeiten wieder stark reduziert war. Die anschließende Prüfung der Bedeutung des Bromodomänen-enthaltenden Proteins 4 für die Expression von ICAM-1 und VCAM-1 durch Knock-down-Experimente ergab, dass das vcam-1 Gen durch Knock-down dieses Proteins unterdrückt, das icam-1 Gen jedoch induziert wird. Dies deutet auf das Vorhandensein zusätzlicher Faktoren hin, die auch auf die Aktivität der JNK reagieren und neben dem Bromodomänen-enthaltenden Proteins 4 die Transkriptionsverlängerung des icam-1 Gens bewirken.
The negative effect of fossil-based industrial processes on the environment, especially the contribution to global warming by emitting greenhouse gases such as CO2 causes a global threat to mankind. Therefore, technologies are demanded by the society for a sustainable and environmentally friendly economy. The biotechnological use of sugar-based feedstocks to produce valuable products are in conflict with, for example, food production. In order to overcome this issue, waste products such as syngas (H2, CO and CO2) or CO2 taken from the atmosphere are of increasing interest for biotechnological applications. Acetogenic bacteria are already used at industrial scale to produce sustainable and environmentally friendly biofuels from syngas. A promising candidate due to its physiological flexibility is the thermophilic acetogen Moorella thermoacetica. In contrast to most acetogens M. thermoacetica is not restricted to one energy conserving system. In addition to the Ech complex, cytochromes and quinones may be involved in energy conservation by, for example, DMSO respiration. The extra energy conserved can be used to form highly valuable but energy demanding products. In this review we give insights into the physiology of this acetogen, the current state of the art of M. thermoacetica as a platform for biotechnological applications and discuss future perspectives.
The ability of wild animals to navigate and survive in complex and dynamic environments depends on their ability to store relevant information and place it in a spatial context. Despite the centrality of spatial memory, and given our increasing ability to observe animal movements in the wild, it is perhaps surprising how difficult it is to demonstrate spatial memory empirically. We present a cognitive analysis of movements of several wolves (Canis lupus) in Finland during a summer period of intensive hunting and den-centered pup-rearing. We tracked several wolves in the field by visiting nearly all GPS locations outside the den, allowing us to identify the species, location and timing of nearly all prey killed. We then developed a model that assigns a spatially explicit value based on memory of predation success and territorial marking. The framework allows for estimation of multiple cognitive parameters, including temporal and spatial scales of memory. For most wolves, fitted memory-based models outperformed null models by 20 to 50% at predicting locations where wolves chose to forage. However, there was a high amount of individual variability among wolves in strength and even direction of responses to experiences. Some wolves tended to return to locations with recent predation success—following a strategy of foraging site fidelity—while others appeared to prefer a site switching strategy. These differences are possibly explained by variability in pack sizes, numbers of pups, and features of the territories. Our analysis points toward concrete strategies for incorporating spatial memory in the study of animal movements while providing nuanced insights into the behavioral strategies of individual predators.
Dynamic imaging of landmark organelles, such as nuclei, cell membrane, nuclear envelope, and lipid droplets enables image-based phenotyping of functional states of cells. Multispectral fluorescent imaging of landmark organelles requires labor-intensive labeling, limits throughput, and compromises cell health. Virtual staining of label-free images with deep neural networks is an emerging solution for this problem. Multiplexed imaging of cellular landmarks from scattered light and subsequent demultiplexing with virtual staining saves the light spectrum for imaging additional molecular reporters, photomanipulation, or other tasks. Published approaches for virtual staining of landmark organelles are fragile in the presence of nuisance variations in imaging, culture conditions, and cell types. This paper reports model training protocols for virtual staining of nuclei and membranes robust to cell types, cell states, and imaging parameters. We developed a flexible and scalable convolutional architecture, named UNeXt2, for supervised training and self-supervised pre-training. The strategies we report here enable robust virtual staining of nuclei and cell membranes in multiple cell types, including neuromasts of zebrafish, across a range of imaging conditions. We assess the models by comparing the intensity, segmentations, and application-specific measurements obtained from virtually stained and experimentally stained nuclei and membranes. The models rescue the missing label, non-uniform expression of labels, and photobleaching. We share three pre-trained models, named VSCyto3D, VSCyto2D, and VSNeuromast, as well as VisCy, a PyTorch-based pipeline for training, inference, and deployment that leverages the modern OME-Zarr format.
Argonaute 2 (AGO2) is an indispensable component of the RNA-induced silencing complex, operating at the translational or posttranscriptional level. It is compartmentalized into structures such as GW- and P-bodies, stress granules and adherens junctions as well as the midbody. Here we show using immunofluorescence, image and bioinformatic analysis and cytogenetics that AGO2 also resides in membrane protrusions such as open- and close-ended tubes. The latter are cytokinetic bridges where AGO2 colocalizes at the midbody arms with cytoskeletal components such as α-Τubulin and Aurora B, and various kinases. AGO2, phosphorylated on serine 387, is located together with Dicer at the midbody ring in a manner dependent on p38 MAPK activity. We further show that AGO2 is stress sensitive and important to ensure the proper chromosome segregation and cytokinetic fidelity. We suggest that AGO2 is part of a regulatory mechanism triggered by cytokinetic stress to generate the appropriate micro-environment for local transcript homeostasis.
Oncogenic transformation of lung epithelial cells is a multi-step process, frequently starting with the inactivation of tumor suppressors and subsequent activating mutations in proto-oncogenes, such as members of the PI3K or MAPK family. Cells undergoing transformation have to adjust to changes, such as metabolic requirements. This is achieved, in part, by modulating the protein abundance of transcription factors, which manifest these adjustments. Here, we report that the deubiquitylase USP28 enables oncogenic reprogramming by regulating the protein abundance of proto-oncogenes, such as c-JUN, c-MYC, NOTCH and ΔNP63, at early stages of malignant transformation. USP28 is increased in cancer compared to normal cells due to a feed-forward loop, driven by increased amounts of oncogenic transcription factors, such as c-MYC and c-JUN. Irrespective of oncogenic driver, interference with USP28 abundance or activity suppresses growth and survival of transformed lung cells. Furthermore, inhibition of USP28 via a small molecule inhibitor reset the proteome of transformed cells towards a ‘pre-malignant’ state, and its inhibition cooperated with clinically established compounds used to target EGFRL858R, BRAFV600E or PI3KH1047R driven tumor cells. Targeting USP28 protein abundance already at an early stage via inhibition of its activity therefore is a feasible strategy for the treatment of early stage lung tumours and the observed synergism with current standard of care inhibitors holds the potential for improved targeting of established tumors.
Neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders (NPDs) like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and schizophrenia, affect millions of people worldwide. Despite recent progress in NPD research, much remains to be discovered about their underpinnings, therapeutic targets, effects of biological sex and age. Risk factors influencing brain development and signalling include prenatal inflammation and genetic variation. This dissertation aimed to build upon these findings by combining behavioural, molecular, and neuromorphological investigations in mouse models of such risk factors, i.e. maternal immune activation (MIA), neuron-specific overexpression (OE) of the cytoplasmatic isoforms of the RNA-binding protein RBFOX1, and neuronal deletion of the small Ras GTPase DIRAS2.
Maternal infections during pregnancy pose an increased risk for NPDs in the offspring. While viral-like MIA has been previously established elsewhere, this study was the first in our institution to implement the model. I validated NPD-relevant deficits in anxiety- and depression-like behaviours, as well as dose- and sex-specific social deficits in mouse offspring following MIA in early gestation. Proteomic analyses in embryonic and adult hippocampal (HPC) synaptoneurosomes highlighted novel and known targets affected by MIA. Analysis of the embryonic dataset implicated neurodevelopmental disruptions of the lipid, polysaccharide, and glycoprotein metabolism, important for proper membrane function, signalling, and myelination, for NPD-pertinent sequelae. In adulthood, the observed changes encompassed transmembrane trafficking and intracellular signalling, apoptosis, and cytoskeletal organisation pathways. Importantly, 50 proteins altered by MIA in embryonic and adult HPC were enriched in the NPD-relevant synaptic vesicle cycle. A persistently upregulated protein cluster formed a functional network involved in presynaptic signalling and proteins downregulated in embryos but upregulated in adults by MIA were correlated with observed social deficits. 49/50 genes encoding these proteins were significantly associated with NPD- and comorbidity-relevant traits in human phenome-wise association study data for psychiatric phenotypes. These findings highlight NPD-relevant targets for future study and early intervention in at-risk individuals. MIA-evoked changes in the neuroarchitecture of the NPD-relevant HPC and prefrontal cortex (PFC) of male and female mice highlighted sex- and region-specific alterations in dendritic and spine morphology, possibly underlining behavioural phenotypes.
To further investigate genetic risk factors of NPDs, I performed a study based on the implications of RBFOX1’s pleiotropic role in neuropsychiatric disorders and previous preclinical findings. Cytoplasmatic OE of RBFOX1, which affects the stability and translation of thousands of targets, was used to disseminate its role in morphology and behaviour. RBFOX1 OE affected dendritic length and branching in the male PFC and led to spine alterations in both PFC and HPC. Due to previously observed ASD-like endophenotypes in our Rbfox1 KO mice and the importance of gene × environment effects on NPD susceptibility, I probed the interaction of cytoplasmatic OE and a low-dose MIA on offspring. Both RBFOX1 OE alone and with MIA led to increased offspring loss during the perinatal period. Preliminary data suggested that RBFOX1 OE × MIA might increase anxiety- and anhedonia-like behaviours. Morphological changes in the adult male OE HPC and PFC suggested increased spine density and reduced dendritic complexity. A small post-mortem study in human dorsolateral PFC of older adults did not reveal significant effects of a common risk variant on RBFOX1 abundance.
To expand upon NPD genetic risks, I evaluated the effects of a homo- (KO) or heterozygous (HET) Diras2 deletion in a novel, neuron-specific mouse model. DIRAS2’s function is largely unknown, but it has been associated with ADHD in humans and neurodevelopment in vitro. In adult mice, there were subtle sex-specific effects on behaviour, i.e. more pronounced NPD-relevant deficits in males, in keeping with human data. KO mice had subtly improved cognitive performance, while HET mice exhibited behaviours in line with core ADHD symptoms, e.g. earning difficulties (females), response inhibition deficits and hyperactivity (males), suggesting Diras2 dose-sensitivity and sex-specificity. The morphological findings revealed multiple aberrations in dendritic and spine morphology in the adult PFC, HPC, and amygdala of HET males. KOs changes in spine and dendritic morphology were exclusively in the PFC and largely opposite to those in HETs and NPD-like phenotypes. Region- and genotype-specific expression changes in Diras2 and Diras1 were observed in six relevant brain regions of adult HET and KO females, also revealing differences in the survival and morphology regulator mTOR, which might underlie observed differences.
In conclusion, the effects of MIA and partial Diras2 knockdown resembled each other in core, NPD-associated behavioural and morphological phenotypes, while cytoplasmatic RBFOX1 OE and full Diras2 KO differed from those. My findings suggest complex dose- and sex-dependent relationships between these prenatal and genetic interventions, whose NPD-relevant influences might converge onto neurodevelopmental molecular pathways. An assessment of such putative overlap, based on available data from the MIA proteomic analyses of embryonic and adult HPC, suggested the three models might be linked via downstream targets, interactions, and upstream regulators. Future studies should disseminate both distinct and shared aspects of MIA, RBFOX1, and DIRAS2 relevant to NPDs and build upon these findings.
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles exhibiting diverse shapes. While the variation of shapes, ranging from spheres to elongated tubules, and the transition between them, are clearly seen in many cell types, the molecular mechanisms governing this morphological variability remain poorly understood. Here, we propose a novel shaping mechanism based on the interplay between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. Our biophysical model suggests that the difference in surface area, arising from the pulling of the inner membrane into cristae, correlates with mitochondrial elongation. Analysis of live cell super-resolution microscopy data supports this correlation, linking elongated shapes to the extent of cristae in the inner membrane. Knocking down cristae shaping proteins further confirms the impact on mitochondrial shape, demonstrating that defects in cristae formation correlate with mitochondrial sphericity. Our results suggest that the dynamics of the inner mitochondrial membrane are important not only for simply creating surface area required for respiratory capacity, but go beyond that to affect the whole organelle morphology. This work explores the biophysical foundations of individual mitochondrial shape, suggesting potential links between mitochondrial structure and function. This should be of profound significance, particularly in the context of disrupted cristae shaping proteins and their implications in mitochondrial diseases.
It is widely acknowledged that biodiversity change is affecting human well-being by altering the supply of Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). Nevertheless, the role of individual species in this relationship remains obscure. In this article, we present a framework that combines the cascade model from ecosystem services research with network theory from community ecology. This allows us to quantitatively link NCP demanded by people to the networks of interacting species that underpin them. We show that this “network cascade” framework can reveal the number, identity and importance of the individual species that drive NCP and of the environmental conditions that support them. This information is highly valuable in demonstrating the importance of biodiversity in supporting human well-being and can help inform the management of biodiversity in social-ecological systems.
Tree-related microhabitats (TReMs) have been proposed as important indicators of biodiversity to guide forest management. However, their application has been limited mostly to temperate ecosystems, and it is largely unknown how the diversity of TReMs varies along environmental gradients. In this study, we assessed the diversity of TReMs on 180 individual trees and 44 plots alongside a large environmental gradient on Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. We used a typology adjusted to tropical ecosystems and a tree-climbing protocol to obtain quantitative information on TreMs on large trees and dense canopies. We computed the diversity of TReMs for each individual tree and plot and tested how TReM diversity was associated with properties of individual trees and environmental conditions in terms of climate and human impact. We further used non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) to investigate the composition of TReM assemblages alongside the environmental gradients. We found that diameter at breast height (DBH) and height of the first branch were the most important determinants of TReM diversity on individual trees, with higher DBH and lower first branch height promoting TReM diversity. At the plot level, we found that TReM diversity increased with mean annual temperature and decreased with human impact. The composition of TReMs showed high turnover across ecosystem types, with a stark difference between forest and non-forest ecosystems. Climate and the intensity of human impact were associated with TReM composition. Our study is a first test of how TReM diversity and composition vary along environmental gradients in tropical ecosystems. The importance of tree size and architecture in fostering microhabitat diversity underlines the importance of large veteran trees in tropical ecosystems. Because diversity and composition of TReMs are sensitive to climate and land-use effects, our study suggests that TReMs can be used to efficiently monitor consequences of global change for tropical biodiversity.

This thesis investigates the structure of the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex in mitochondria, focusing on the TOM holo complex through single-particle electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM) complemented by mass spectrometry and computational structure prediction. Mitochondria, crucial for energy production in eukaryotic cells, import most of their proteins from the cytoplasm. These proteins enter through the TOM complex, which in its core form consists of a membrane-embedded homodimer of Tom40 pores, two Tom22 cytoplasmic receptors, and six small TOM stabilizing subunits (Tom7, Tom6, and Tom5). The holo complex includes two additional subunits, Tom70 and Tom20, whose stoichiometry and positioning are less understood due to their easy dissociation during isolation of the complex. CryoEM analysis revealed the high-resolution structure of the Neurospora crassa TOM core complex at 3.3 Å, containing all core subunits, and the presence of a central phospholipid causing the Tom40 dimer to tilt to 20°. Furthermore, a 4 Å resolution map indicated the binding of a precursor protein as it transitions through the translocation barrel. Finally, at 6-7 Å resolution, the structure of the TOM holo complex highlighted Tom20's flexibility as it interacts with the core complex, emphasizing its role in protein translocation. This work provides significant insights into the architecture and functioning of the TOM complex, contributing to the understanding of mitochondrial protein import mechanisms.
This work focused on the biosynthesis and characterization of esterified lipid mediators. Lipid mediators were generally thought to exert their effects as free molecules, and their esterification was regarded as a storage mechanism. However, more recent studies indicate that esterified lipid mediators are a distinct class of mediators. When this thesis started back in 2017, the idea of esterified lipids as a new class of mediators was relatively new so that respective compounds were either quite expensive or not commercially available at all. Therefore, a biosynthetic approach had to be established first to enable the study of the new lipid mediator class. Within the cell, esterified lipids are produced by activation and subsequent incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These steps are enzymatically catalyzed by members of the acyl-CoA synthetase family and the lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase family, respectively. Therefore, the enzymes acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 (LPCAT2) were selected for a biosynthetic approach due to their broad substrate acceptance.
In a first attempt, recombinant protein expression in E. coli was studied. While the expression and purification of C-terminally His6x-tagged ACSL4 resulted in a pure and active protein, the expression of LPCAT2 turned out quite troublesome. Although several expression and purification parameters were varied, including purification tags, buffer compositions, and chromatography strategies, successful purification of LPCAT2 was not achieved.
Instead, a second approach was studied. This time, stably transfected cells overexpressing ACSL4 and/or LPCAT2 were generated from the human embryonal kidney (HEK) 293T cell line. Stably transfected cell lines were characterized on protein level and regarding their oxylipin profile. After confirming the overexpression and functionality of the enzymes, lipoxygenases (LOs) were co-expressed in a doxycycline-inducible manner to prevent premature cell death due to increased oxidative stress. As a result, LO product formation was enhanced and enabled the investigation of specific oxylipins. Since increased lipid peroxidation is also a key component of the ferroptosis cell death mechanisms, cell lines were investigated towards their cell viability. Indeed, expression of ACSL4 and/or LPCAT2 promoted cell death when treated with the ferroptosis inducers erastin or RSL3, even in the absence of LO expression. Furthermore, analysis by laser scanning confocal microscopy revealed that the localization of 15-LO1 was altered in the presence of LPCAT2, similar to treatment with RSL3 in vector control cells.
In conclusion, a stable overexpression system of ACSL4 and/or LPCAT2 was successfully established in HEK293T cells, which enabled the synthesis and characterization of esterified oxylipins. Interestingly, characterization of the cell lines revealed a correlation with the cell death mechanism ferroptosis. Although the expression of ACSL4 has already been reported as a biomarker for ferroptosis, this is the first time that a potential connection of LPCAT2 with ferroptosis was demonstrated. As a result, this may provide new therapeutic options for ferroptosis-related pathologies such as neurodegeneration, autoimmune diseases, or tumorigenesis.

The ligand-sensing transcription factor Nurr1 emerges as a promising therapeutic target for neurodegenerative pathologies but Nurr1 ligands for functional studies and therapeutic validation are lacking. Here pronounced Nurr1 modulation by statins for which clinically relevant neuroprotective effects are demonstrated, is reported. Several statins directly affect Nurr1 activity in cellular and cell-free settings with low micromolar to sub-micromolar potencies. Simvastatin as example exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in astrocytes, which are abrogated by Nurr1 knockdown. Differential gene expression analysis in native and Nurr1-silenced cells reveals strong proinflammatory effects of Nurr1 knockdown while simvastatin treatment induces several neuroprotective mechanisms via Nurr1 involving changes in inflammatory, metabolic and cell cycle gene expression. Further in vitro evaluation confirms reduced inflammatory response, improved glucose metabolism, and cell cycle inhibition of simvastatin-treated neuronal cells. These findings suggest Nurr1 involvement in the well-documented but mechanistically elusive neuroprotection by statins.
Human feline leukaemia virus subgroup C receptor-related proteins 1 and 2 (FLVCR1 and FLVCR2) are members of the major facilitator superfamily1. Their dysfunction is linked to several clinical disorders, including PCARP, HSAN and Fowler syndrome2,3,4,5,6,7. Earlier studies concluded that FLVCR1 may function as a haem exporter8,9,10,11,12, whereas FLVCR2 was suggested to act as a haem importer13, yet conclusive biochemical and detailed molecular evidence remained elusive for the function of both transporters14,15,16. Here, we show that FLVCR1 and FLVCR2 facilitate the transport of choline and ethanolamine across the plasma membrane, using a concentration-driven substrate translocation process. Through structural and computational analyses, we have identified distinct conformational states of FLVCRs and unravelled the coordination chemistry underlying their substrate interactions. Fully conserved tryptophan and tyrosine residues form the binding pocket of both transporters and confer selectivity for choline and ethanolamine through cation–π interactions. Our findings clarify the mechanisms of choline and ethanolamine transport by FLVCR1 and FLVCR2, enhance our comprehension of disease-associated mutations that interfere with these vital processes and shed light on the conformational dynamics of these major facilitator superfamily proteins during the transport cycle.
Background: Despite advances in treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, carriers of certain genetic alterations are prone to failure. One such factor frequently mutated, is the tumor suppressor PTEN. These tumors are supposed to be more resistant to radiation, chemo- and immunotherapy.
Results: We demonstrate that loss of PTEN led to altered expression of transcriptional programs which directly regulate therapy resistance, resulting in establishment of radiation resistance. While PTEN-deficient tumor cells were not dependent on DNA-PK for IR resistance nor activated ATR during IR, they showed a significant dependence for the DNA damage kinase ATM. Pharmacologic inhibition of ATM, via KU-60019 and AZD1390 at non-toxic doses, restored and even synergized with IR in PTEN-deficient human and murine NSCLC cells as well in a multicellular organotypic ex vivo tumor model.
Conclusion: PTEN tumors are addicted to ATM to detect and repair radiation induced DNA damage. This creates an exploitable bottleneck. At least in cellulo and ex vivo we show that low concentration of ATM inhibitor is able to synergise with IR to treat PTEN-deficient tumors in genetically well-defined IR resistant lung cancer models.
Human feline leukemia virus subgroup C receptor-related proteins 1 and 2 (FLVCR1 and 2) are members of the major facilitator superfamily1. Their dysfunction is linked to several clinical disorders, including PCARP, HSAN, and Fowler syndrome2–7. Earlier studies concluded that FLVCR1 may function as a putative heme exporter8–12, while FLVCR2 was suggested to act as a heme importer13, yet conclusive biochemical and detailed molecular evidence remained elusive for the function of both transporters14–17. Here, we show that FLVCR1 and FLVCR2 facilitate the transport of choline and ethanolamine across human plasma membranes, utilizing a concentration-driven substrate translocation process. Through structural and computational analyses, we have identified distinct conformational states of FLVCRs and unraveled the coordination chemistry underlying their substrate interactions. Within the binding pocket of both transporters, we identify fully conserved tryptophan and tyrosine residues holding a central role in the formation of cation-π interactions, essential for choline and ethanolamine selectivity. Our findings not only clarify the mechanisms of choline and ethanolamine transport by FLVCR1 and FLVCR2, enhancing our comprehension of disease-associated mutations that interfere with these vital processes, but also shed light on the conformational dynamics of these MFS-type proteins during the transport cycle.
The hydrothermal vent tubeworm Riftia pachyptila hosts a single 16S rRNA phylotype of intracellular sulfur-oxidizing symbionts, which vary considerably in cell morphology and exhibit a remarkable degree of physiological diversity and redundancy, even in the same host. To elucidate whether multiple metabolic routes are employed in the same cells or rather in distinct symbiont subpopulations, we enriched symbionts according to cell size by density gradient centrifugation. Metaproteomic analysis, microscopy, and flow cytometry strongly suggest that Riftia symbiont cells of different sizes represent metabolically dissimilar stages of a physiological differentiation process: While small symbionts actively divide and may establish cellular symbiont-host interaction, large symbionts apparently do not divide, but still replicate DNA, leading to DNA endoreduplication. Moreover, in large symbionts, carbon fixation and biomass production seem to be metabolic priorities. We propose that this division of labor between smaller and larger symbionts benefits the productivity of the symbiosis as a whole.
How the brain evolved remains a mystery. The goal of this thesis is to understand the fundamental processes that are behind the evolutionary history of the brain. Amniotes appeared 320 million years ago with the transition from water to land. This early group bifurcated into sauropsids (reptiles and birds) and synapsids (mammals). Amniote brains evolved separately and display obvious structural and functional differences. Although those differences reflect brain diversification, all amniote brains share a common ancestor and their brains show multiple derived similarities: equivalent structures, networks, circuits and cell types have been preserved during millions of years. Finding these differences and similarities will help us understand brain historical evolution and function. Studying brain evolution can be approached from various levels, including brain structure, circuits, cell types, and genes. We propose a focus on cell types for a more comprehensive understanding of brain evolution. Neurons are the basic building blocks and the most diverse cell types in the brain. Their evolution reflects changes in the developmental processes that produce them, which in turn may shape the neural circuits they belong to. However, there is currently a lack of a unified criteria for studying the homology of connectivity and development between neurons. A neuron’s transcriptome is a molecular representation of its identity, connectivity, and developmental/evolutionary history. Hence the comparison of neuronal transcriptomes within and across species is a new and transformative development in the study of brain evolution. As an alternative, comparing neuronal transcriptomes across different species can provide insights into the evolution of the brain. We propose that comparing transcriptomes can be a way to fill this gap and unify these criteria. In previous studies, published in Science (Tosches et al., 2018) and Nature (Norimoto et al., 2020), we leveraged scRNAseq in reptiles to re-evaluate the origins and evolution of the mammalian cerebral cortex and claustrum. Motivated by the success of this approach, in this thesis we have now expanded single-cell profiling to the entire brain of a lizard species, the Australian dragon Pogona vitticeps, with a special focus in thalamus and prethalamus of. This approach allowed us to study the evolution of neuron types in amniotes. Therefore, we aimed to build a multilevel atlas of the lizard brain based on histology and transcriptomic and compare it to an equal mouse dataset (Zeisel et al., 2018).
Our atlas reveals a general structure that is consistent with that for other amniote brains, allowing us to make a direct comparison between lizard and mouse, despite their evolutionary divergence 320 million years ago. Through our analysis of the transcriptomes present in various neuron types, we have uncovered a core of conserved classes and discovered a fascinating dichotomy of new and conserved neuron types throughout the brain. This research challenges the traditional notion that certain brain regions are more conserved than others.
Our research also has uncovered the evolutionary history of the lizard thalamus and prethalamus by comparing them to homologous brain regions of the mouse. This pioneering research sheds new light on our understanding of the evolutionary history of the lizard brain. We propose a new classification of the lizard thalamic nuclei based on
transcriptomics. Our research revealed that the thalamic neuron types in lizards can be grouped into two large, conserved categories from the medial to lateral thalamus. These categories are encoded by a common set of effector genes, linking theories based on connectivity and molecular studies of these areas. In our data we have seen that there is a conservation of the medial-lateral transcriptomic axis in mouse and lizard, this conservation was most likely already present in the common ancestor. Although there is a shared medial-lateral axis, a deeper study of the thalamic cell types has allowed us to see the existence of a partial diversification of the thalamic population, specifically in the sensory-related lateral thalamus; in opposition, the medial thalamic nuclei neuron-types have been preserved.
On the other hand, the comparison with the mammalian prethalamus allowed us to confirm that the lizard ventromedial thalamic neuron types are homologous to mouse reticular thalamic neuron types (Díaz et al., 1994), even if they do not express the classical Reticular thalamic nucleus (RTn) marker PV/pvalb. We also discovered that there has been a simplification in the mammalian prethalamic neuron types in favor of an increase in the number of Interneurons (IN) types within their thalamus. We suggest that the loss of GABAergic neuronal types in the mammalian prethalamus is linked to the need for a more efficient control of the thalamo-pallial communication in mammals, while in lizards, where thalamo-pallial communication is probably simpler, the diversity prethalamus presents a higher diversity.
Biological membranes serve as physical barriers in cells and organelles, enabling the maintenance of chemical or ionic gradients that are essential for triggering various integral, peripheral, or lipid-anchored membrane proteins, necessary for their life-essential functions. The study of membrane proteins has unique challenges due to their hydrophobic nature, limited expression levels, and inherent flexibility. Single-particle analysis (SPA) enables the determination of high-resolution three-dimensional structures using minimal amounts of specimen without the need for crystallization. Additionally, cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram averaging (StA) offer the ability to study membrane protein complexes, cellular architecture, and molecular interactions while preserving close-to-life conditions. With ongoing improvements in cryo-EM technologies, obtaining high-resolution structures of membrane proteins in vitro can allow people to understand their mechanisms and functions, and to facilitate the design and optimization of new therapeutic agents. Furthermore, there has been significant growth in the structural characterization of membrane proteins in situ, as studying biomolecules within their physiological context is an ultimate goal in structural biology for a comprehensive understanding of molecular networks in cells.
Due to the amphipathic nature of membrane proteins, their production, purification, and isolation pose significant challenges compared to soluble proteins. To maintain the membrane protein fold in an aqueous buffer after disrupting lipid membranes, the use of detergents, amphipols, lipid nanodiscs, saposin-lipoprotein (salipro), styrene-maleic acid co-polymer lipid particles (SMALPS) is common and often essential. A limitation of the membrane-mimetic systems is the absence of an actual lipid bilayer environment. To address this issue, membrane proteins can be reconstituted into liposomes, and this closed membrane environment closely mimics the physiological conditions of the proteins. The use of liposomes for structure determination is expected to significantly expand in the in vitro study of membrane proteins and membrane-associated proteins, particularly for capturing transient complexes in specific functional states.
Resolving the structures of membrane proteins in their native cellular context is considered the ideal approach for understanding their functions and associated molecular networks. While single-particle cryo-EM can achieve higher resolution than subtomogram averaging, it often requires at least partial purification of the target molecules from their native environment inside cells and tissues. By combining averaging tools on subvolumes obtained through cryo-ET, structures can currently be determined at resolutions of 10-30 Å. With ongoing advancements and refinements in cryo-ET methodologies, routine high-resolution structure determination in situ is poised to become a valuable tool for both structural and cell biologists in the long run, and the field holds great promise for further expanding our understanding of cellular structures and processes at the molecular level.
The main aim of this thesis is to further our knowledge of the structure and function of a small prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium ion channel, NaChBac in liposomes, and a large knob complex found on the surface of Plasmodium falciparum-infected human erythrocyte by cryo-ET and StA.
Chapter 2 presents the first StA map of the 120-kDa NaChBac embedded in liposomes under a resting membrane potential at a modest resolution of 16 Å. The approach presented in this study, which can be widely applied to cryo-EM analysis of membrane proteins, with a specific focus on membrane proteins with small soluble domains, lays the foundation for cryo-ET and StA of integral or peripheral membrane proteins whose functions are affected by transmembrane electrochemical gradients and/or membrane curvatures. Chapter 3 shows the first cryo-EM structure of the supramolecular knob complex in P. falciparum-infected human erythrocyte. While a previous study provided an overall architectural view of knobs using negative stain tomography, the in situ structure bridges this gap, guiding future investigations into the molecular composition and the role of these native knobs in Plasmodium infection and immunity.
This thesis opens up several promising lines for future studies of membrane proteins in vitro and in situ, where other membrane proteins can be studied in physiologically relevant environments. Already with the present generation of cryo-EM hardware and software, this thesis represents pioneering research in the field of membrane protein structural biology.
An important goal is to identify the direct activation domain (AD)-interacting components of the transcriptional machinery within the context of native complexes. Toward this end, we first demonstrate that the multisubunit TFIID, SAGA, mediator, and Swi/Snf coactivator complexes from transcriptionally competent whole-cell yeast extracts were all capable of specifically interacting with the prototypic acidic ADs of Gal4 and VP16. We then used hexahistidine tags as genetically introduced activation domain-localized cross-linking receptors. In combination with immunological reagents against all subunits of TFIID and SAGA, we systematically identified the direct AD-interacting subunits within the AD-TFIID and AD-SAGA coactivator complexes enriched from whole-cell extracts and confirmed these results using purified TFIID and partially purified SAGA. Both ADs directly cross-linked to TBP and to a subset of TFIID and SAGA subunits that carry histone-fold motifs.
Owing to their morphological complexity and dense network connections, neurons modify their proteomes locally, using mRNAs and ribosomes present in the neuropil (tissue enriched for dendrites and axons). Although ribosome biogenesis largely takes place in the nucleus and perinuclear region, neuronal ribosomal protein (RP) mRNAs have been frequently detected remotely, in dendrites and axons. Here, using imaging and ribosome profiling, we directly detected the RP mRNAs and their translation in the neuropil. Combining brief metabolic labeling with mass spectrometry, we found that a group of RPs rapidly associated with translating ribosomes in the cytoplasm and that this incorporation was independent of canonical ribosome biogenesis. Moreover, the incorporation probability of some RPs was regulated by location (neurites vs. cell bodies) and changes in the cellular environment (following oxidative stress). Our results suggest new mechanisms for the local activation, repair and/or specialization of the translational machinery within neuronal processes, potentially allowing neuronal synapses a rapid means to regulate local protein synthesis.

Our results suggest new mechanisms for the local activation, repair and/or specialization of the translational machinery within neuronal processes, potentially allowing remote neuronal synapses a rapid solution to the relatively slow and energy-demanding requirement of nuclear ribosome biogenesis.
Protein turnover, the net result of protein synthesis and degradation, enables cells to remodel their proteomes in response to internal and external cues. Previously, we analyzed protein turnover rates in cultured brain cells under basal neuronal activity and found that protein turnover is influenced by subcellular localization, protein function, complex association, cell type of origin, and by the cellular environment (Dörrbaum et al., 2018). Here, we advanced our experimental approach to quantify changes in protein synthesis and degradation, as well as the resulting changes in protein turnover or abundance in rat primary hippocampal cultures during homeostatic scaling. Our data demonstrate that a large fraction of the neuronal proteome shows changes in protein synthesis and/or degradation during homeostatic up- and down-scaling. More than half of the quantified synaptic proteins were regulated, including pre- as well as postsynaptic proteins with diverse molecular functions.
Mitochondrial matrix peptidase CLPP is crucial during cell stress. Its loss causes Perrault syndrome type 3 (PRLTS3) with infertility, neurodegeneration and growth deficit. Its target proteins are disaggregated by CLPX, which also regulates heme biosynthesis via unfolding ALAS enzyme, providing access of pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (PLP). Despite efforts in diverse organisms with multiple techniques, CLPXP substrates remain controversial. Here, avoiding recombinant overexpression, we employed complexomics in mitochondria from three mouse tissues to identify endogenous targets. CLPP absence caused accumulation and dispersion of CLPX-VWA8 as AAA+ unfoldases, and of PLPBP. Similar changes and CLPX-VWA8 comigration were evident for mitoribosomal central protuberance clusters, translation factors like GFM1-HARS2, RNA granule components LRPPRC-SLIRP, and enzymes OAT-ALDH18A1. Mitochondrially translated proteins in testis showed reductions to <30% for MTCO1-3, misassembly of complex-IV supercomplex, and accumulated metal-binding assembly factors COX15-SFXN4. Indeed, heavy metal levels were increased for iron, molybdenum, cobalt and manganese. RT-qPCR showed compensatory downregulation only for Clpx mRNA, most accumulated proteins appeared transcriptionally upregulated. Immunoblots validated VWA8, MRPL38, MRPL18, GFM1 and OAT accumulation. Coimmunoprecipitation confirmed CLPX binding to MRPL38, GFM1 and OAT, so excess CLPX and PLP may affect their activity. Our data elucidate mechanistically the mitochondrial translation fidelity deficits, which underlie progressive hearing impairment in PRLTS3.
Viruses that carry a positive-sense, single-stranded (+ssRNA) RNA translate their genomes soon after entering the host cell to produce viral proteins, with the exception of retroviruses. A distinguishing feature of retroviruses is reverse transcription, where the +ssRNA genome serves as a template to synthesize a double-stranded DNA copy that subsequently integrates into the host genome. As retroviral RNAs are produced by the host cell transcriptional machinery and are largely indistinguishable from cellular mRNAs, we investigated the potential of incoming retroviral genomes to directly express proteins. Here we show through multiple, complementary methods that retroviral genomes are translated after entry. Our findings challenge the notion that retroviruses require reverse transcription to produce viral proteins. Synthesis of retroviral proteins in the absence of productive infection has significant implications for basic retrovirology, immune responses and gene therapy applications.

Here we show through various biochemical methods that HIV-1 genomes are translated after entry, in case of minimal or full-length genomes, envelopes using different cellular entry pathways and in diverse cell types. Our findings challenge the dogma that retroviruses require reverse transcription to produce viral proteins. Synthesis of retroviral proteins in the absence of productive infection has significant implications for basic retrovirology, immune responses and gene therapy applications.
We examined the feedback between the major protein degradation pathway, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), and protein synthesis in rat and mouse neurons. When protein degradation was inhibited, we observed a coordinate dramatic reduction in nascent protein synthesis in neuronal cell bodies and dendrites. The mechanism for translation inhibition involved the phosphorylation of eIF2α, surprisingly mediated by eIF2α kinase 1, or heme-regulated kinase inhibitor (HRI). Under basal conditions, neuronal expression of HRI is barely detectable. Following proteasome inhibition, HRI protein levels increase owing to stabilization of HRI and enhanced translation, likely via the increased availability of tRNAs for its rare codons. Once expressed, HRI is constitutively active in neurons because endogenous heme levels are so low; HRI activity results in eIF2α phosphorylation and the resulting inhibition of translation. These data demonstrate a novel role for neuronal HRI that senses and responds to compromised function of the proteasome to restore proteostasis.
Impact of pectin dietary supplementation on experimental food allergy via gut microbiota modulation
(2023)
In recent years, dietary fibers gained focus in regard of their immune-modulatory effects and the potentially beneficial effect on allergies. The dietary fiber and prebiotic pectin is able to promote growth and activity of beneficial bacteria and thereby induce modulation of different immune responses. However, structurally different types of pectin might promote different immune-modulatory responses and to date the optimal pectin type for induction of beneficial health effects is not identified. Furthermore, it is still unclear, whether pectins provide a beneficial effect on certain allergies, such as food allergy.
Having this in consideration, this study examined the immune-modulatory effects of structurally different pectins on naive as well as peach allergic mice. Furhtermore, the impact of dietary pectin supplementation on composition and diversity of the murine gut microbiota was determined.
This study showed that dietary pectin intervention was able to suppress allergy-related Th2 responses considering humoral and cellular immune responses. Only apple-derived high-methoxyl pectin revealed an impact on total IgA levels and affected the microbial richness. Furthermore, it is not known whether the effects observed with the two pectins are caused by modulations of the bacterial composition or induced at least partly by direct interaction with the immune cells. Further studies are required to fully understand the mechanisms underlying the immune-modulatory capacities of different pectins.
Finally, the obtained results generated evidence that dietary pectin intervention can beneficially modulate the immune response in healthy mice and – at least partially – suppress allergy-related immune responses in a model of food allergy, depending on the structural characteristics of the used pectin.
Two new species of Fomitopsidaceae, Pseudofomitopsis fusca R.Saha, A.K.Dutta & K.Acharya sp. nov. and Fomitopsis benghalensis R.Saha, A.K.Dutta & K.Acharya sp. nov., are described from West Bengal, India, based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses (nuclear ITS sequence). Pseudofomitopsis fusca sp. nov. possesses perennial, triquetrous to ungulate, sessile basidiocarps with a shiny, glabrous, azonate, dark brown upper surface, a yellowish grey pore surface with angular pores (3–5 per mm), a dimitic type of hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, fusoid cystidioles; ellipsoid, cotton blue positive, and basidiospores 3–5 × 1.5–3.5 µm. Fomitopsis benghalensis sp. nov. is characterized by its annual, resupinate basidiocarp with pilose, bluish white to orange-grey, warty, woody upper surface, bluish-white pore surface, circular to angular pores (5–7 per mm), a trimitic type of hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, fusoid cystidioles, and cylindrical to elongate basidiospores (5.5–8 × 2.5–3.5 µm). The new taxa are compared to closely related taxa. Photomicrographs of the basidiocarps, along with detailed morphological descriptions and a molecular sequence-based phylogenetic tree, are provided.
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is considered the cognitive center of the mammalian brain. It is involved in a variety of cognitive functions such as decision making, working memory, goal-directed behavior, processing of emotions, flexible action selection, attention, and others (Fuster, 2015). In rodents, these functions are associated with the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Experiments in mice and rats have shown that neurons in the mPFC are necessary for successful performance of many cognitive tasks. Moreover, measurements of neural activity in the mPFC show excitation or inhibition in different cells in relation to specific aspects of the tasks to be solved. To date, however, it is largely unknown whether prefrontal neurons are stably activated during the same behaviors within a task and whether similar aspects are represented by the same neurons in different tasks. In addition, it is unclear how specifically neurons are activated, for example, whether cells that are activated in response to reward are activated in a different task without reward in a different situation or remain inactive. To address these questions, we recorded the same neurons in the mPFC of mice over the course of several weeks while the animals performed various behaviors.
To do this, we expressed GCaMP6 in pyramidal neurons in the mPFC of mice. A small lens was implanted in the same location and a miniature microscope ("miniscope") was used to record neural activity. Later the extracted neurons got aligned based on their shape and position across multiple days and sessions. The mice performed five different behavioral tests while neural activity was measured: A spatial working memory test in a T-maze, exploration of the elevated plus maze (EPM), a novel object recognition (NO) test including free open field (OF) exploration, a social interaction (SI) test and discriminatory auditory fear conditioning (FC). Each task was repeated at least twice to check for stable task encoding across sessions. Behavioral performance and neural correlates to specific task events were similar to earlier studies across all tasks. We utilized generalized linear models (GLM) to determine which behavioral variables most strongly influence neural activity in the mPFC. The position of the mouse in the environment was found to explain most of the variance in neural activity, together with movement speed they were the strongest predictors of neural activity across all tasks. Reward time points in the working memory test, the conditioned stimulus after fear conditioning, or head direction in general were also strongly encoded in the mPFC.
Many of the recorded neurons showed a stable spatial activity profile across multiple sessions of the same task. Similarly, cells that coded for position in one task tended to code for position in other tasks. Not only did the same cells code for position across multiple tasks, but cells also coded for movement speed and head direction. This indicates that at least these general behavioral variables are each represented by the same neurons in the mPFC. Interestingly, the stability of position or speed coding did not depend on the time between two sessions, but only on whether it was within the same or across different tasks. Within the same task, stability was slightly higher than across different tasks.
To find out whether task-specific behavioral aspects were also stably encoded in the mPFC, difference scores as the difference in neural activity between two task aspects like left- and right-choice trials or exposed and enclosed locations were calculated. Many cells encoded these aspects stably across different sessions of each task. Both the left-right differences in the different phases of the working memory test, the open-closed-arm differences in the elevated plus maze, the different activity between center and corners in the open field, the social target-object differences in the social interaction test, and the differences between the two tones during fear conditioning were all stably encoded across the population of mPFC cells. Only the distinction between the novel and the familiar object during object recognition was not stably encoded, but also the preference for the novel object was not present in the second session of novel object exploration.
There was also an overlap in coding for different aspects within a task across multiple sessions. For example, cells stably encoded left-right differences in the T-maze between different sessions as a function of walking direction across different phases of working memory, an aspect that we could already show within one session (Vogel, Hahn et al., 2022). During fear conditioning, the same cells showed a discrimination between CS+ and CS- that also responded to the start of CS+.
Consistency in the neurons activity across different tasks was also found, but only between tasks with similar demands, the elevated plus-maze and free exploration of the open field. Cells that were more active in the open arms also showed more activity in the center of the open field and vice versa. This could be an indicator that the cells were coding for anxiety or exposure across those tasks, indicating that neurons in the mPFC also stably encode general task aspects independent of the specific environment. However, it remains unclear what exactly these neurons encode; in the case of a general fear signal, one would also expect activation during fear conditioning which could not be found.
Overall, we found that neurons in the mPFC of mice encoded multiple general behavioral variables across multiple tasks and task-specific variables were encoded stably within each of the tested tasks. However, we found little task-specific variables that were systematically encoded by the same neurons with the exception being the elevated plus-maze and open field exploration, two tasks with similar features.
In (eco-)toxicological studies the light/dark transition (LDT) test is one of the most frequently used behaviour assays with zebrafish eleutheroembryos. However, study results vary regarding data presentation and analysis and mostly focus on a limited amount of the recorded data. In this study, we investigated whether monitoring two behavioural outcomes (time and distance moved) together with analysing multiple parameters can improve test sensitivity and data interpretation. As a proof of principle 5-day old zebrafish (Danio rerio) eleutheroembryos exposed to either endocrine disruptors (EDs) or acetylcholine esterase (AChE) inhibitors were investigated. We analysed conventional parameters such as mean and sum and implemented additional endpoints such as minimum or maximum distance moved and new parameters assessing the bursting response of eleutheroembryos. Furthermore, changes in eleutheroembryonic behaviour during the moment of the light to dark transition were added. To improve data presentation control-normalised results were displayed in radar charts, enabling the simultaneous presentation of different parameters in relation to each other. This enabled us to identify parameters most relevant to a certain behavioural response. A cut off threshold using control data was applied to identify parameters that were altered in a biological relevant manner. Our approach was able to detect effects on different parameters that remained undetected when analysis was done using conventional bar graphs on - in most cases analysed - averaged, mean distance moved values. By combining the radar charts with additional parameters and by using control-based thresholds, we were able to increase the test sensitivity and promote a deeper understanding of the behaviour response of zebrafish eleutheroembryos in the LDT test and thereby increased its usability for behavioural toxicity studies.
Life and biological resilience rely on the execution of precise gene expression profiles. A key mechanism to ensure cellular homeostasis is the regulation of protein synthesis. Recent studies have unveiled an intrinsic regulatory capacity of ribosomes, previously considered mere executors of mRNA translation. Neurons in particular finely regulate protein synthesis, at both global and local levels. This sustains their complex morphology and allows them to rapidly transmit, integrate, and respond to external stimuli. In this thesis, I investigated the neuronal ribosome and how subcellular environments and physiological perturbations shape it, by profiling its molecular composition, functional interconnections, and cellular distribution.
First, I used genetic engineering, biochemical purification, and mass spectrometry, to characterize in an unbiased manner the translation machinery specifically from excitatory and inhibitory neurons of the mouse cortex. I found that neuronal ribosomes commonly interact with RNA-binding proteins, components of the cytoskeleton, and proteins associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and vesicles. In line with the requirement for local protein synthesis in the distal parts of neurons, we observed that neuronal ribosomes preferentially interact with proteins involved in cellular transport. Remarkably, I observed a strong association between ribosomes and pre-synaptic vesicles, which suggests a potential regulatory interaction between local translation and neuronal activity.
Intriguingly, I and others have observed mRNAs encoding for core ribosomal proteins (RPs) among the genes most enriched in neuronal processes. This observation challenges two historical assumptions of ribosome biology: (1) new RPs are incorporated only into newly forming ribosomes, and (2) this incorporation occurs only in the nucleus and perinuclear region. In my PhD, I aimed to directly test these two assumptions and if proven wrong ask whether and why neurons would localize RP mRNAs far from their known assembly site.
Employing a combination of metabolic labeling and highly sensitive mass spectrometry techniques, I discovered that a subset of RPs rapidly and dynamically binds on and off mature ribosomes. Strikingly, this incorporation does not depend on the supply of new ribosomes from the nucleus. Therefore, my data refuted the assumption that ribosomes are built and degraded as a unit and revealed a more dynamic view of these machines, which can actively exchange core components. In particular, I found that the association of certain exchanging RPs is influenced by location (e.g., cell body versus neurites) and cellular state (e.g., post-oxidative stress). Neurons may use this mechanism to repair and/or specialize their protein synthesis machinery in a rapid and context-dependent manner.
Finally, I asked whether some steps of ribosome biogenesis could also take place in distal processes. Although most steps of ribosome assembly occur within the nucleus, the final stages of maturation are known to occur in the cytosol. By combining several imaging and biochemical approaches, I found that cytosolic (but not nuclear) pre-ribosomal particles are present in neuronal processes. Through the incorporation of new RPs into these immature particles, neurons may be able to locally “turn on” previously incompetent ribosomes. This may enable regions near synapses to enhance and customize their translational capacity, independently of the central pool of ribosomes from the cell body. Indeed, I observed that synaptic plasticity induces a maturation of cytosolic pre-ribosomes.
In summary, this thesis shows how neuronal ribosomes can sense cellular states, respond by adjusting their core composition, and in doing so influence the local capacity for protein synthesis. By overturning long-held assumptions in ribosome biology, this work highlights new molecular mechanisms of gene expression and enriches our understanding of the rapid and dynamic strategies cells employ to operate, thrive, and adaptively respond to environmental changes.
Long non-coding RNAs are a very versatile class of molecules that can have important roles in regulating a cells function, including regulating other genes on the transcriptional level. One of these mechanisms is that RNA can directly interact with DNA thereby recruiting additional components such as proteins to these sites via an RNA:dsDNA triplex formation. We genetically deleted the triplex forming sequence (FendrrBox) from the lncRNA Fendrr in mice and found that this FendrrBox is partially required for Fendrr function in vivo. We found that the loss of the triplex forming site in developing lungs causes a dysregulation of gene programs associated with lung fibrosis. A set of these genes contain a triplex site directly at their promoter and are expressed in lung fibroblasts. We biophysically confirmed the formation of an RNA:dsDNA triplex with target promoters in vitro. We found that Fendrr with the Wnt signalling pathway regulates these genes, implicating that Fendrr synergizes with Wnt signalling in lung fibrosis.
Die Biologie der Onkogene
(1991)
Onkogene wurden zuerst als dominante, maligne transformierende Gene in den Genomen von Retroviren identifiziert. In normalen Zellen existieren eng verwandte Gene, die phylogenetisch hochkonserviert sind und wichtige regulatorische Funktionen bei Differenzierung und Wachstum haben. Diese Gene werden als Proto-Onkogene bezeichnet. Onkogene haben häufig ähnliche, Jedoch aberrante enzymatische oder regulatorische Aktivitäten wie die normalen Gene. Sie werden in verschiedene Klassen eingeteilt (Proteinkinasen, GTP-bindende Proteine, Wachstumsfaktor-Analoga, nukleare Proteine, Wachstumsfaktor-Rezeptor-Analoga). Die normalen Funktionen der Proto-Onkogene werden schon ansatzweise verstanden. So regeln beispielsweise die Analoga der Tyrosinkinase-Onkogene unter anderem die Hämatopoese. Ein neuer Vertreter dieser Gruppe wurde von uns isoliert und als c-tkl bezeichnet.
Onkogene treten in malignen Geweben auch unabhängig von Retroviren auf. Mit DNA aus Tumoren gelang es in Transfektionsexperimenten, normale Zellen zu transformieren. Die Analyse zeigte, daß ein Onkogen in die Zellen eingeschleust worden war, das man schon von Experimenten mit Retroviren kannte. Gene, die das Transformations-Potential der Onkogene inhibieren, werden als Tumor-Suppressor-Gene bezeichnet und stellen einen neuen Zweig der Krebsforschung dar.
Insgesamt ist die Entstehung einer Krebszelle immer an eine oder mehrere genetische Veränderungen gebunden, die ein regulatorisch wichtiges normales Gen funktionell ändern oder es zur falschen Zeit, in der falschen Zelle oder in der falschen Menge exprimieren. Diese genetische Änderung kann angeboren sein, sie kann durch die Infektion mit Viren, durch Strahlen, durch chemische Karzinogenese oder durch spontane Mutation erfolgen. Die Tatsache, daß heute eine Vielzahl von Genen bekannt ist, deren Veränderung Krebs induziert, läßt für die Zukunft eine wesentlich verbesserte Tumor-Diagnostik und eine spezifischere Therapie erwarten. Die systematische Aufklärung der Genome höherer Organismen dürfte für das Studium der Tumor-Suppressorgene und der Onkogene neue Erkenntnisse liefern.
Precise regulation of gene expression networks is required to develop and maintain a healthy organism before and after birth and throughout adulthood. Such networks are mostly comprised of regulatory proteins, but meanwhile many long non-coding transcripts (lncRNAs) are shown to participate in these regulatory processes. The functions and mechanisms of these lncRNAs vary greatly, however they are often associated with transcriptional regulation. Three lncRNAs, namely Sweetheart RNA (Swhtr), Fetal-lethal noncoding developmental regulatory RNA / Foxf1 adjacent non-Coding developmental regulatory RNA (Fendrr) and lncFsd2, were studied in this work to demonstrate the variety of cellular and biological processes that require lncRNA-mediated fine-tuning, in regard to the cardiopulmonary system.
Swhtr was found to be expressed exclusively in cardiomyocytes and became critical for regeneration after myocardial injury. Mice lacking Swhtr did not show issues under normal conditions, but failed to undergo compensatory hypertrophic remodeling after injury, leading to increased mortality. This effect was rescued by re-expressing Swhtr, demonstrating importance of the RNA. Genes dependent on Swhtr during cardiac stress were found to likely be regulated by NKX2-5 through physical interaction with Swhtr. Fendrr was found to be expressed in lung and interacted with target promoters through its RNA:dsDNA binding domain, the FendrrBox, which was partially required for Fendrr function. Fendrr, together with activated WNT signaling, regulated fibrosis related target genes via the FendrrBox in fibroblasts. LncFsd2, an ubiquitously expressed lncRNA, showed possible interaction with the striated muscle specific Fsd2, but its exact function and regulatory role remain unclear in muscle physiology. Immunoprecipitation and subcellular fractionation experiments suggest that lncFsd2 might be involved in nuclear retention of Fsd2 mRNA, thus fine-tuning FSD2 protein expression. These investigations have shed light on the roles of these lncRNAs in stress responses, fibrosis-related gene regulation, and localization processes, advancing our understanding of cardiovascular and pulmonary maintenance, reaction to injury, and diseases. The diverse and intricate roles of these three lncRNAs highlight how they influence various cellular processes and disease states, offering avenues for exploring lncRNA functions in different biological contexts.
All-optical closed-loop voltage clamp for precise control of muscles and neurons in live animals
(2023)
Excitable cells can be stimulated or inhibited by optogenetics. Since optogenetic actuation regimes are often static, neurons and circuits can quickly adapt, allowing perturbation, but not true control. Hence, we established an optogenetic voltage-clamp (OVC). The voltage-indicator QuasAr2 provides information for fast, closed-loop optical feedback to the bidirectional optogenetic actuator BiPOLES. Voltage-dependent fluorescence is held within tight margins, thus clamping the cell to distinct potentials. We established the OVC in muscles and neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans, and transferred it to rat hippocampal neurons in slice culture. Fluorescence signals were calibrated to electrically measured potentials, and wavelengths to currents, enabling to determine optical I/V-relationships. The OVC reports on homeostatically altered cellular physiology in mutants and on Ca2+-channel properties, and can dynamically clamp spiking in C. elegans. Combining non-invasive imaging with control capabilities of electrophysiology, the OVC facilitates high-throughput, contact-less electrophysiology in individual cells and paves the way for true optogenetic control in behaving animals.
Mitochondria perform essential energetic, metabolic and signalling functions within the cell. To fulfil these, the integrity of the mitochondrial proteome has to be preserved. Therefore, each mitochondrial subcompartment harbours its own system for protein quality control. However, if the capacity of mitochondrial chaperones and proteases is overloaded, mitochondrial misfolding stress (MMS) occurs. Upon this stress condition, mitochondria communicate with the nucleus to increase the transcription of nuclear encoded mitochondrial chaperones and proteases. This proteotoxic stress pathway was termed the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) aiming at restoring protein homeostasis. Despite being discovered over 25 years ago, the signalling molecules released by stressed mitochondria as well as the corresponding receptor and transcription factor remain poorly understood. With this study, we aimed at characterising the underlying signalling events and mechanisms of how mitochondria react to misfolded proteins. First, we aimed to establish different methods to induce MMS that triggers the transcriptional induction of mitochondrial chaperones and proteases detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We were able to induce UPRmt signalling by overexpression of an aggregation-prone protein and by knock-down or inhibition of mitochondrial protein quality control components. To study the signalling in a time-resolved manner, we focused on the usage of the mitochondrial HSP90 inhibitor GTPP and the mitochondrial LONP1 protease inhibitor CDDO.
Early time point RNA sequencing analysis of cells stressed with GTPP or CDDO revealed upregulated genes in response to oxidative stress. Indeed, measurements of mitochondrial superoxide with the fluorescent dye MitoSOX showed increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon MMS induction. In contrast, there was no induction of mitochondrial chaperones and proteases when combining MMS with antioxidants. Compartment-specific targeting of the hydrogen peroxide sensor HyPer7 revealed increased ROS levels in the intermembrane space and matrix of mitochondria, followed by elevated ROS levels in the cytosol at later time points. The importance of cytosolic ROS for the signalling was supported by preventing UPRmt induction with an inhibitor blocking the outer mitochondrial membrane pore. Thus, ROS were identified as an essential UPRmt signal.
To understand which cytosolic factor is modified by ROS, redox proteomics was performed. Here, reversible changes on cysteine residues of the HSP40 co-chaperone DNAJA1 were observed upon MMS. Consequently, transcriptional induction of UPRmt genes was abolished by DNAJA1 knock-down. To understand the function of DNAJA1 during UPRmt signalling, quantitative interaction proteomics upon MMS revealed an increased binding to mitochondrial proteins and its interaction partner HSP70. Immunoprecipitation confirmed a ROS-dependent interaction between HSP40 and HSP70. Increased binding to mitochondrial proteins represented a cytosolic interaction of DNAJA1 with mitochondrial precursor proteins, whose accumulation was confirmed by western blot. Moreover, a fluorescent protein targeted to mitochondria accumulated in the cytosol during GTPP treatment, confirming a reduced import efficiency upon MMS. Preventing the accumulation of precursors by a translation inhibitor or depletion of a general mitochondrial transcription factor resulted in reduced UPRmt activation. Thus, DNAJA1 is essential for UPRmt signalling, since its oxidation by mitochondrial ROS and its enhanced recruitment to mitochondrial precursors allows the integration of both MMS-induced signals.
To link these findings to an increased transcription of mitochondrial chaperones and proteases, we screened for transcription factors accumulating in the nucleus upon MMS by cellular fractionation mass spectrometry. We demonstrated that specifically HSF1 accumulates in nuclei of cells stressed with GTPP or CDDO. Depletion of HSF1 by knock-down or knock-out resulted in the abrogation of the UPRmt-specific transcriptional response. HSF1 activation was visualised by nuclear accumulation on western blot, a process inhibited by ROS and precursor suppression. Moreover, DNAJA1 depletion prevented HSF1 activation. Ultimately, we proved by immunoprecipitation that the inhibitory interaction between HSF1 and HSP70 is reduced upon MMS.
Thus, we conclude that MMS increases mitochondrial ROS that are released into the cytosol. In addition, the import efficiency is reduced upon MMS, resulting in the accumulation of non-imported mitochondrial precursor proteins in the cytosol. Both signals are recognised via DNAJA1 oxidation and substrate binding. The concurrent recruitment of HSP70 to DNAJA1 results in the loss of the inhibitory HSP70-HSF1 interaction. Thus, active HSF1 can migrate to the nucleus to initiate transcription of mitochondrial chaperones and proteases. These findings are in accordance with observations in yeast, where mistargeted mitochondrial proteins activate cellular stress responses. Our results highlight a surprising interconnection and dependence of the mitochondrial and the cytosolic proteostasis network, in which the UPRmt is activated by a combination of two mitochondria-specific proteotoxic stress signals.
This dissertation constitutes a series of successive research papers, starting with the characterization of various optogenetic tools up to the establishment of purely optical electrophysiology in living animals.
Optogenetics has revolutionized neurobiology as it allows stimulation of excitable cells with exceptionally high spatiotemporal resolution. To cope with the increasing complexity of research issues and accompanying demands on experimental design, the broadening of the optogenetic toolbox is indispensable. Therefore, one goal was to establish a wide variety of novel rhodopsin-based actuators and characterize them, among others, with respect to their spectral properties, kinetics, and efficacy using behavioral experiments in Caenorhabditis elegans. During these studies, the applicability of highly potent de- and hyperpolarizers with adapted spectral properties, altered ion specificity, strongly slowed off-kinetics, and inverted functionality was successfully demonstrated. Inhibitory anion channelrhodopsins (ACRs) stood out, filling the gap of long-sought equivalent hyperpolarizing tools, and could be convincingly applied in a tandem configuration combined with the red-shifted depolarizer Chrimson for bidirectional stimulation (Bidirectional Pair of Opsins for Light-induced Excitation and Silencing, BiPOLES). A parallel study aimed to compare various rhodopsin-based genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) in the worm: In addition to electrochromic FRET-based GEVIs that use lower excitation intensity, QuasAr2 was particularly convincing in terms of voltage sensitivity and photostability in C. elegans. However, classical optogenetic approaches are quite static and only allow perturbation of neural activity. Therefore, QuasAr2 and BiPOLES were combined in a closed-loop feedback control system to implement the first proof-of-concept all-optical voltage clamp to date, termed the optogenetic voltage clamp (OVC). Here, an I-controller generates feedback of light wavelengths to bidirectionally stimulate BiPOLES and keep QuasAr’s fluorescence at a desired level. The OVC was established in body wall muscles and various types of neurons in C. elegans and transferred to rat hippocampal slice culture. In the worm, it allowed to assess altered cellular physiology of mutants and Ca2+-channel characteristics as well as dynamical clamping of distinct action potentials and associated behavior.
Ultimately, the optogenetic actuators and sensors implemented in the course of this cumulative work enabled to synergistically combine the advantages of imaging- and electrode-based techniques, thus providing the basis for noninvasive, optical electrophysiology in behaving animals.
Die Bande q23 auf Chromosom 11 ist in zahlreiche reziproke chromosomale Translokationen verwickelt. Diese sind dominant mit dem Krankheitsphänotyp einer AML, ALL und seltener mit malignen Lymphomen und myelodysplastischen Syndromen assoziiert. Mittlerweile sind fünfundachtzig cytogenetische Aberrationen der Bande 11q23 bekannt. Das auf 11q23 betroffene Gen wird als das Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL-1), Human Homolog of trithorax (HRX) oder als Human Trithorax 1 (Htrx1) bezeichnet. Die häufigsten Partnergene des MLL sind AF4 (40 %), AF9 (27 %), sowie ENL, AF6, ELL und AF10 (4-7 %).
Die Bruchpunkte von t(11;V) Translokationen sind nicht gleichmäßig über das gesamte, 92 kb große humane MLL-Gen verteilt, sondern liegen alle in der 8,3 kb großen Bruchpunktsregion Bpr. Auch innerhalb der Bpr ist die Verteilung der Translokationsbruchpunkte nicht homogen. Die Bruchpunkte von Patienten mit de novo Leukämien und einem Alter über einem Jahr liegen mehrheitlich in der 5’-Hälfte der Bpr, dem Subcluster I. Dagegen liegen die Bruchpunkte von Patienten mit therapiebedingten Leukämien und einem Alter unter einem Jahr überwiegend in der 3’-Hälfte der Bpr, dem Subcluster II.
Neuere Forschungsergebnisse zeigten, daß DNA-Doppelstrangbrüche auf zwei verschiedenen Chromosomen eine hinreichende Voraussetzung für das Entstehen chromosomaler Translokationen sind. Aufgrund der inhomogenen Verteilung der Translokationsbruchpunkte im MLL-Gen stellte sich die Frage, ob bestimmte Regionen dieses Gens für DNA-Doppelstrangbrüche prädisponiert sind. Interessanterweise ist Subcluster II extrem sensitiv gegenüber DNA-Doppelstrangbrüchen, die durch cytotoxische Agenzien oder Apoptose-auslösende Ereignisse induziert werden können. In unserer Arbeitsgruppe konnte eine etwa 200 bp große Region lokalisiert werden, über die sich nahezu alle Etoposid-induzierten DNA-Doppelstrangbrüche verteilten.
In dieser Arbeit konnte gezeigt werden, daß die Bildung von DNA-Doppelstrangbrüchen in dieser Region durch die Gabe eines Caspase-Inhibitors gehemmt werden kann. Eine Etoposid-induzierte Protein-DNA-Wechselwirkung konnte allerdings nicht nachgewiesen werden. In der Literatur fanden sich Hinweise darauf, daß Subcluster II im Gegensatz zu Subcluster I eine verstärkte Histonacetylierung aufweist. Basierend auf diesen Hinweisen sollte die Arbeitshypothese untersucht werden, ob Subcluster II einen geninternen Promotor des MLL-Gens darstellt.
Die potentielle Promotorregion wurde zunächst durch Computeranalysen eingegrenzt. Mit RT-PCR Experimenten wurde anschließend der potentielle geninterne Promotor des murinen Mll-Gens in einer murinen Fibroblastenzellinie lokalisiert, die einen Transkriptionsstop und eine Polyadenylierungssequenz in Exon 4 des Mll-Gens trug. Um die am Mausmodell gewonnenen Erkenntnisse auch im humanen System zu überprüfen, wurde die geninterne Promotorregion des humanen MLL Gens vor ein Luciferasereportergen kloniert. Durch RTPCR konnte der geninterne Transkriptionsstart im Subcluster II des humanen MLL-Gens lokalisiert werden. Damit konnte zum ersten Mal gezeigt werden, daß Transkriptionsinitiation und genetische Instabilität im Subcluster II des humanen MLL-Gens kolokalisieren.
Durch Deletionsmutanten wurde die Bedeutung der einzelnen Module dieser Promotorregion ermittelt. Dabei zeigte sich, daß die Anwesenheit von zwei retromobilen Elementen eine Enhancer-Funktion haben. Demgegenüber zeigte die homologe murine Sequenz, die in unserer Arbeitsgruppe gleichzeitig von S. Scharf untersucht wurde und für die keine erhöhte Anfälligkeit für DNA-Doppelstrangbrüche bekannt ist, nur eine schwache Promotoraktivität. Dies weist auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen der genetischen Instabilität von Subcluster II und der Rate geninterner Transkriptionsinitiationsprozesse hin.
Das Protein, für das das Transkript des geninternen murinen Promotors kodiert, wurde mittels immunhistologischer und Western Blot Experimente nachgewiesen. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, daß dieses Protein, wie auch das MLL-Protein, proteolytisch durch Taspase1 und daß sich ein Mini-MLL-Komplex bildet.
Rafts: Rafts sind spezialisierte Domänen biologischer Membranen, die sich durch ihre spezifische Lipid- und Proteinzusammensetzung auszeichnen (zur Übersicht siehe Simons und Toomre, 2000). Die am besten beschriebenen Rafts sind die Caveolae, doch es gibt noch weitere weniger gut charakterisierte Rafttypen. Rafts werden verschiedene zelluläre Funktionen zugeschrieben wie z.B. gerichteter Transport von Membranproteinen, Endozytose und Signaltransduktion. Diese Funktionen erfüllen sie vornehmlich, indem sie verschiedene Proteine und Lipide bedingt durch ihre biophysikalischen Eigenschaften selektiv aufnehmen oder ausschließen. Viele Raftproteine sind über gesättigte Acylketten, wie Myristat oder Palmitat, oder einen GPIAnker mit der Membran assoziiert. Transmembranproteine, wie z.B. der EGFRezeptor, können jedoch auch in Rafts angereichert sein. Besonders an der Plasmamembran dienen Rafts als Signaltransduktionszentren, indem sie beteiligte Rezeptoren und Signalmoleküle konzentrieren.
Reggie-Proteine: Bei der Suche nach Proteinen, die bei der Regeneration von verletzten Sehnerven von Fischen hochreguliert werden, wurden Reggie-1 und Reggie-2 entdeckt (Schulte et al., 1997). Gleichzeitig wurden diese Proteine bei der Suche nach neuen Raftproteinen gefunden und als Flotillin-1 (=Reggie-2) und Flotillin-2 (=Reggie-1) bezeichnet (Bickel et al., 1997). Reggie-1 und -2 haben ein Molekulargewicht von 47 kDa und sind auf Aminosäuren-Basis zu 44% identisch. Homologe zu Reggie-1 wurden bislang in Mensch, Maus, Ratte und Fisch, wie auch in D. melanogaster gefunden. Die evolutionäre Konservierung der Reggies ist, mit beispielsweise 80% zwischen Ratte und Goldfisch, sehr hoch und weist auf eine wichtige Funktion hin, die Sequenzkonservierung verlangt. Reggie-1 wird ubiquitär exprimiert, wogegen Reggie-2 ein weniger verbreitetes Expressionsmuster aufweist. Reggie-1 ist vornehmlich an der Plasmamembran und an Endosomen lokalisiert. Die subzelluläre Lokalisation von Reggie-2 hängt vom Zelltyp ab...
Keystone mutualisms, such as corals, lichens or mycorrhizae, sustain fundamental ecosystem functions. Range dynamics of these symbioses are, however, inherently difficult to predict because host species may switch between different symbiont partners in different environments, thereby altering the range of the mutualism as a functional unit. Biogeographic models of mutualisms thus have to consider both the ecological amplitudes of various symbiont partners and the abiotic conditions that trigger symbiont replacement. To address this challenge, we here investigate 'symbiont turnover zones'--defined as demarcated regions where symbiont replacement is most likely to occur, as indicated by overlapping abundances of symbiont ecotypes. Mapping the distribution of algal symbionts from two species of lichen-forming fungi along four independent altitudinal gradients, we detected an abrupt and consistent β-diversity turnover suggesting parallel niche partitioning. Modelling contrasting environmental response functions obtained from latitudinal distributions of algal ecotypes consistently predicted a confined altitudinal turnover zone. In all gradients this symbiont turnover zone is characterized by approximately 12°C average annual temperature and approximately 5°C mean temperature of the coldest quarter, marking the transition from Mediterranean to cool temperate bioregions. Integrating the conditions of symbiont turnover into biogeographic models of mutualisms is an important step towards a comprehensive understanding of biodiversity dynamics under ongoing environmental change.
Bioactive small molecules are used in many research areas as important tools to uncover biological pathways, interpret phenotypic changes, deconvolute protein functions and explore new therapeutic strategies in disease relevant cellular model systems. To unlock the full potential of these small molecules and to ensure reliability of results obtained in cellular assays, it is crucial to understand the properties of these small molecules. These properties encompass their activity and potency on their designated target(s), their selectivity towards unintended off-targets and their phenotypic effects in a cellular system. Approved drugs often engage with multiple targets, which can be beneficial for some applications such as treatment of cancer where several pathways need to be inhibited for treatment efficacy. However, targeting multiple key proteins in diverse pathways also increases the possibility for unspecific or unwanted side effects. For many drugs the entire target space that they modulate is not known. This makes it difficult to use these drugs for target deconvolution or functional assays with the aim to understand the underlying biological processes. In contrast to drugs, for mechanistic studies, a good alternative are chemical tool compounds so called chemical probes that are usually exclusively selective as well as chemogenomic compounds, that inhibit several targets but have narrow selectivity profiles. Because they are mechanistic tools, chemical tool compounds must meet stringent quality criteria and they are therefore well characterized in terms of their potency, selectivity and cellular on-target activity. To ensure that an observed phenotypic effect caused by a compound can be attributed to the described target(s), it is essential to study also properties of chemical tools leading to unspecific cellular effects. There are a variety of unspecific effects that can be caused by physiochemical compound properties that can interfere with phenotypic assays as well as functional compound evaluations. One of these effects is low solubility causing toxicity or intrinsic fluorescence potentially interfering with assay readouts. But unanticipated cellular responses can also arise from unspecific binding, accumulation in cellular compartments or damage caused to organelles such as mitochondria or the cytoskeleton that can result in the induction of diverse forms of cell death.
In this study, we investigated the influence of a variety of small molecules on distinct cell states, by establishing and validating high-content imaging assays, which we called Multiplex assay. This assay portfolio enabled us to detect different cellular responses using diverse fluorescent reporters, such as the influence of a compound on cell viability, induction of cell death programs and modulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, general compound properties such as precipitation and intrinsic fluorescence were simultaneously detected. The assay is adaptable to assess other cellular properties of interest, such as mitochondrial health, changes in cytoskeletal morphology or phospholipidosis. A significant advantage of the assay is that we are using live cells, so we can capture dynamic cellular changes and fluctuations that can be crucial for the understanding of cellular responses.
Der Hirntumor Glioblastom (GBM) ist aufgrund seines infiltrativen Wachstums, der hohen intra- und intertumoralen Heterogenität, der hohen Therapieresistenz als auch aufgrund der sogenannten gliomartigen Stammzellen sehr schwer zu behandeln und führt fast immer zu Rezidiven. Da es in den letzten Jahrzehnten kaum Fortschritte in der Behandlung des GBMs gab, bis auf die Therapie mit Tumortherapiefeldern, wird weiterhin nach alternativen Zelltodtherapien geforscht, wie zum Beispiel dem Autophagie-abhängigen Zelltod. Der Autophagie-abhängige Zelltod ist durch einen erhöhten autophagischen Flux gekennzeichnet und obwohl die Autophagie, als auch selektive Formen wie die Lysophagie und Mitophagie, normalerweise als überlebensfördernde Mechanismen gelten, konnten viele Studien eine duale Rolle in der Tumorentstehung, -progression und -behandlung aufzeigen, die vor allem vom Tumortyp und stadium abhängt. Um die zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen des durch Medikamente induzierten Autophagie-abhängigen Zelltods im GBM weiter zu entschlüsseln, habe ich in meiner Dissertation verschiedene Substanzen untersucht, die einen Autophagie-abhängigen Zelltod induzieren.
In einer zuvor in unserem Labor durchgeführten Studie konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Antipsychotikum Pimozid (PIMO) und der Opioidrezeptor-Antagonist Loperamid (LOP) einen Autophagie-abhängigen Zelltod in GBM Zellen induzieren können. Darauf aufbauend habe ich die Fähigkeit zur Induktion des Autophagie-abhängigen Zelltods in weiteren Zellmodellen validiert. Dies bestätigte einen erhöhten autophagischen Flux nach PIMO und LOP Behandlung, während der Zelltod als auch der autophagische Flux in Autophagie-defizienten Zellen reduziert war. In weiteren Versuchen konnte ich die Involvierung der LC3-assoziierten Phagozytose (LAP), ein Signalweg der auf die Funktion einiger autophagischer Proteine angewiesen ist, ausschließen. Weiterhin konnte ich eine massive Störung des Cholesterin- und Lipidstoffwechsels beobachten. Unter anderem akkumulierte Cholesterin in den Lysosomen gefolgt von massiven Schäden des lysosomalen Kompartiments und der Permeabiliserung der lysosomalen Membran. Dies trug einerseits zur Aktivierung überlebensfördernder Lysophagie als auch der Zell-schädigenden „Bulk“-Autophagie bei. Letztendlich konnte aber die erhöhte Lysophagie die Zellen nicht vor dem Zelltod retten und die Zellen starben einen Autophagie-abhängigen lysosomalen Zelltod. Da die Eignung von LOP als Therapie für das GBM aufgrund der fehlenden Blut-Hirn-Schranken Permeabilität und von dem Antipsychotikum PIMO aufgrund teils schwerer Nebenwirkungen eingeschränkt ist, habe ich mich im weiteren Verlauf meiner Dissertation mit einer Substanz mit einem anderen Wirkmechanismus beschäftigt.
Der Eisenchelator und oxidative Phosphorylierungs (OXPHOS) Inhibitor VLX600 wurde zuvor berichtet mitochondriale Dysfunktion und Zelltod in Kolonkarzinomzellen zu induzieren. Allerdings hat meines Wissens nach bisher noch keine Studie die therapeutische Eignung von VLX600 für das GBM untersucht. Hier zeige ich eine neuartige Autophagie-abhängige Zelltod-induzierende Fähigkeit von VLX600 für GBM Zellen, da der Zelltod signifikant in Autophagie-defizienten Zellen aber nicht durch Caspase-Inhibitoren gehemmt wurde und der autophagische Flux erhöht war. Darüber hinaus konnte ich die Hemmung der OXPHOS und die Induktion von mitochondrialem Stress in GBM Zellen bestätigen und weiterhin aufzeigen, dass VLX600 nicht nur die mitochondriale Homöostase stört, sondern auch zu einer BNIP3-BNIP3L-abhängigen Mitophagie führt, die wahrscheinlich durch HIF1A reguliert wird aber keinen erkennbaren Nettoeffekt auf den von VLX600 induzierten Zelltod hat. Demnach induziert VLX600 letale „Bulk“-Autophagie in den hier verwendeten Zellmodellen. Darüber hinaus konnte ich zeigen, dass die Eisenchelatierung durch VLX600 eine große Rolle für den von VLX600-induzierten Zelltod spielt aber auch für die Mitophagie Induktion, Histon Lysin Methylierung und den ribosomalen Stress. Letztendlich ist es wahrscheinlich ein Zusammenspiel all dieser Faktoren, die zur Zelltodinduktion durch VLX600 führen und interessanterweise werden Eisenchelatoren bereits in präklinischen und klinischen Studien für Krebstherapien untersucht. Dabei könnten gewisse metabolische Eigenschaften verschiedener Tumorzellen die Sensitivität von Wirkstoffen, die auf den Metabolismus wirken wie VLX600, beeinflussen was in zukünftigen Studien beachtet werden sollte um den bestmöglichsten Therapieerfolg zu erzielen. Zusammenfassend unterstützt meine Dissertation die duale Rolle der Autophagie, die stark vom jeweiligen Kontext abhängt und befürwortet die weitere Forschung von Substanzen, die einen Autophagie-abhängigen Zelltod induzieren, für das GBM.
EphrinB2 and GRIP1 stabilize mushroom spines during denervation-induced homeostatic plasticity
(2021)
Highlights
• Denervation induces mushroom spine loss and AMPAR redistribution to the surface
• GRIP1 and ephrinB2 mediate homeostatic mechanisms after lesion
• Stimulation with the ephrinB2 receptor EphB4 promotes a surface shift of AMPARs
• AMPARs surface shift restores impaired spine recovery after lesion in GRIP1 mutants
Summary
Despite decades of work, much remains elusive about molecular events at the interplay between physiological and structural changes underlying neuronal plasticity. Here, we combined repetitive live imaging and expansion microscopy in organotypic brain slice cultures to quantitatively characterize the dynamic changes of the intracellular versus surface pools of GluA2-containing α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) across the different dendritic spine types and the shaft during hippocampal homeostatic plasticity. Mechanistically, we identify ephrinB2 and glutamate receptor interacting protein (GRIP) 1 as mediating AMPAR relocation to the mushroom spine surface following lesion-induced denervation. Moreover, stimulation with the ephrinB2 specific receptor EphB4 not only prevents the lesion-induced disappearance of mushroom spines but is also sufficient to shift AMPARs to the surface and rescue spine recovery in a GRIP1 dominant-negative background. Thus, our results unravel a crucial role for ephrinB2 during homeostatic plasticity and identify a potential pharmacological target to improve dendritic spine plasticity upon injury.
Highlights
• Enables immunostaining and visualization of epitopes deep within brain slices
• Utilizes expansion microscopy to increase imaging resolution
• Optimized for brain organotypic slice cultures and tested in acute brain slices
• Analysis workflow for protein distribution (surface vs. intracellular pool) using Imaris
Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
Summary
Assessing protein distribution with super-resolution in tissue is often complicated and restrictive. Here, we describe a protocol for immunostaining and expansion microscopy imaging of mouse brain organotypic slice cultures. We detail an Imaris analysis workflow to analyze the surface vs intracellular distribution of AMPA receptors at super-resolution during homeostatic plasticity. We have optimized the protocol for brain organotypic slice culture and tested in acute brain slices. This protocol is suitable to study protein distribution under multiple plasticity paradigms.
Ecophysiological studies on Antarctic cryptophytes to assess whether climatic changes such as ocean acidification and enhanced stratification affect their growth in Antarctic coastal waters in the future are lacking so far. This is the first study that investigated the combined effects of increasing availability of pCO2 (400 and 1000 µatm) and irradiance (20, 200 and 500 μmol photons m−2 s −1) on growth, elemental composition and photophysiology of the Antarctic cryptophyte Geminigera cryophila. Under ambient pCO2, this species was characterized by a pronounced sensitivity to increasing irradiance with complete growth inhibition at the highest light intensity. Interestingly, when grown under high pCO2 this negative light effect vanished and it reached highest rates of growth and particulate organic carbon production at the highest irradiance compared to the other tested experimental conditions. Our results for G. cryophila reveal beneficial effects of ocean acidification in conjunction with enhanced irradiance on growth and photosynthesis. Hence, cryptophytes such as G. cryophila may be potential winners of climate change, potentially thriving better in more stratified and acidic coastal waters and contributing in higher abundance to future phytoplankton assemblages of coastal Antarctic waters.
Identification of unique cardiolipin and monolysocardiolipin species in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2017)
Acidic glycerophospholipids play an important role in determining the resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to stress conditions and antibiotics. Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic human pathogen which is responsible for an increasing number of nosocomial infections, exhibits broad antibiotic resistances. Here lipids of A. baumannii have been analyzed by combined MALDI-TOF/MS and TLC analyses; in addition GC-MS analyses of fatty acid methyl esters released by methanolysis of membrane phospholipids have been performed. The main glycerophospholipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, acyl-phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin together with monolysocardiolipin, a lysophospholipid only rarely detected in bacterial membranes. The major acyl chains in the phospholipids are C16:0 and C18:1, plus minor amounts of short chain fatty acids. The structures of the cardiolipin and monolysocardiolipin have been elucidated by post source decay mass spectrometry analysis. A large variety of cardiolipin and monolysocardiolipin species were found in A. baumannii. Similar lysocardiolipin levels were found in the two clinical strains A. baumannii ATCC19606T and AYE whereas in the nonpathogenic strain Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 lysocardiolipin levels were highly reduced.
In the past two decades, an increasing body of studies has been published on the intersex phenomenon in separate-sexed crustaceans from marine and freshwater ecosystems. Various causes are being considered that could have an influence on the occurrence of intersex. Besides genetic factors, environmental conditions such as photoperiodicity, temperature, salinity and parasitism, but also environmental pollution with endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are discussed. As part of a long-term monitoring (2012 – 2020) in north-west Brittany, we recorded the occurrence of intersex in the marine amphipod Echinogammarus marinus. We quantified the intersex incidence at marine and estuarine sites and analyzed the incidence in relation to the endocrine potential of the sediments. Intersex occurred with mean frequencies between 0.87% and 12%. It was striking that the incidence of intersex increased with increasing distance from the sea. Since the highest incidence was observed at the range boundary of this stenohaline species, we assume that intersex is triggered by endocrine potential and increasing stress due to increasing freshwater content − and thus an interplay of different environmental factors.
Nanoplastics affect the inflammatory cytokine release by primary human monocytes and dendritic cells
(2022)
So far, the human health impacts of nano- and microplastics are poorly understood. Thus, we investigated whether nanoplastics exposure induces inflammatory processes in primary human monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells. We exposed these cells in vitro to nanoplastics of different shapes (irregular vs. spherical), sizes (50–310 nm and polydisperse mixtures) and polymer types (polystyrene; polymethyl methacrylate; polyvinyl chloride, PVC) using concentrations of 30–300 particles cell−1. Our results show that irregular PVC particles induce the strongest cytokine release of these nanoplastics. Irregular polystyrene triggered a significantly higher pro-inflammatory response compared to spherical nanoplastics. The contribution of chemicals leaching from the particles was minor. The effects were concentration-dependent but varied markedly between cell donors. We conclude that nanoplastics exposure can provoke human immune cells to secrete cytokines as key initiators of inflammation. This response is specific to certain polymers (PVC) and particle shapes (fragments). Accordingly, nanoplastics cannot be considered one homogenous entity when assessing their health implications and the use of spherical polystyrene nanoplastics may underestimate their inflammatory effects.
Pathologies associated with tissue ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in highly metabolizing organs such as the brain and heart are leading causes of death and disability in humans. Molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction during acute injury in I/R are tissue-specific, but their details are not completely understood. A metabolic shift and accumulation of substrates of reverse electron transfer (RET) such as succinate are observed in tissue ischemia, making mitochondrial complex I of the respiratory chain (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) the most vulnerable enzyme to the following reperfusion. It has been shown that brain complex I is predisposed to losing its flavin mononucleotide (FMN) cofactor when maintained in the reduced state in conditions of RET both in vitro and in vivo. Here we investigated the process of redox-dependent dissociation of FMN from mitochondrial complex I in brain and heart mitochondria. In contrast to the brain enzyme, cardiac complex I does not lose FMN when reduced in RET conditions. We proposed that the different kinetics of FMN loss during RET is due to the presence of brain-specific long 50 kDa isoform of the NDUFV3 subunit of complex I, which is absent in the heart where only the canonical 10 kDa short isoform is found. Our simulation studies suggest that the long NDUFV3 isoform can reach toward the FMN binding pocket and affect the nucleotide affinity to the apoenzyme. For the first time, we demonstrated a potential functional role of tissue-specific isoforms of complex I, providing the distinct molecular mechanism of I/R-induced mitochondrial impairment in cardiac and cerebral tissues. By combining functional studies of intact complex I and molecular structure simulations, we defined the critical difference between the brain and heart enzyme and suggested insights into the redox-dependent inactivation mechanisms of complex I during I/R injury in both tissues.
Environmental gradients have emerged as important barriers to structuring populations and species distributions. We set out to test whether the strong salinity gradient from the marine North Sea to the brackish Baltic Sea in northern Europe represents an ecological and genetic break, and to identify life history traits that correlate with the strength of this break. We accumulated mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 sequence data, and data on the distribution, salinity tolerance, and life history for 28 species belonging to the Cnidaria, Crustacea, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Polychaeta, and Gastrotricha. We included seven non-native species covering a broad range of times since introduction, in order to gain insight into the pace of adaptation and differentiation. We calculated measures of genetic diversity and differentiation across the environmental gradient, coalescent times, and migration rates between North and Baltic Sea populations, and analyzed correlations between genetic and life history data. The majority of investigated species is either genetically differentiated and/or adapted to the lower salinity conditions of the Baltic Sea. Species exhibiting population structure have a range of patterns of genetic diversity in comparison with the North Sea, from lower in the Baltic Sea to higher in the Baltic Sea, or equally diverse in North and Baltic Sea. Two of the non-native species showed signs of genetic differentiation, their times since introduction to the Baltic Sea being about 80 and >700 years, respectively. Our results indicate that the transition from North Sea to Baltic Sea represents a genetic and ecological break: The diversity of genetic patterns points toward independent trajectories in the Baltic compared with the North Sea, and ecological differences with regard to salinity tolerance are common. The North Sea–Baltic Sea region provides a unique setting to study evolutionary adaptation during colonization processes at different stages by jointly considering native and non-native species.
Anthropogenic activities have a major impact on our planet and rapidly drive biodiversity loss in ecosystems at a global scale. Particularly over the last century, rising CO2 emissions significantly raised global temperatures and increased the intensity and frequency of droughts and heatwaves. Additionally, agricultural land use and fossil fuel combustion contribute to the continuous release of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) into ecosystems worldwide through extensive fertilization and deposition from the atmosphere. It is important to understand how these rapid changes affect the evolution of plant populations and their adaptive potential. Adaptation by natural selection (i.e., adaptive evolution) within a few generations is an essential process as a response to rapid environmental changes. Rapid evolution of plant populations can be detected by using the so-called resurrection approach. Here, diaspores (i.e., seeds) from a population are collected before (ancestors) and after (descendants) a potential selection pressure (e.g., consecutive years of drought or changes in nutrient supply). Comparing phenotypes of ancestors and descendants in a common environment such as an outside garden, greenhouse, or climate chamber, may then reveal evolutionary changes. Ideally, plants are first grown in a common environment for an intermediate refresher generation to reduce parental and storage effects.
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the occurrence of adaptive evolution in natural plant populations in response to rapidly changing environments over the past three decades. I conducted three experiments using the resurrection approach to generate comprehensive data on the adaptive processes that acted on three plant populations from three different species over the last three decades. Furthermore, I filled knowledge gaps in plant evolutionary ecology and conceptually developed the resurrection approach further.
In Chapter I, I performed a novel approach by testing for adaptive evolution in natural plant populations using the resurrection approach in combination with in-situ transplantations. I cultivated seedlings from ancestors (23 – 26 years old) and contemporary descendants of three perennial species (Melica ciliata, Leontodon hispidus and Clinopodium vulgare) from calcareous grasslands in the greenhouse and In Chapter III, I assessed the reproducibility of phenotypic differences between genotypes among three different growth facilities (climate chamber, greenhouse, and outdoor garden). I also evaluated differences in phenotypic expression between plants grown after one vs. two intermediate generations (i.e., refresher generations). I performed this experiment within the framework of the resurrection approach and compared ancestors and descendants of the same population of Leontodon hispidus.
I observed very strong differences among plants growing in the different growth facilities. I found a significant interaction between the growth facility and the temporal origin (ancestors vs. descendants): descendants had significantly larger rosettes than ancestors only in the greenhouse and they flowered significantly later than ancestors exclusively in the climate chamber. I did not find significant differences between intermediate generations within the growth facilities. Overall, Chapter III shows that the use of a particular experimental system can dictate the presence and magnitude of phenotypic differences. This implies that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence when it comes to investigating genetically based trait differentiation among plant origins (in space or time). Experimental systems should be carefully designed to provide meaningful conditions, ideally mimicking the environmental conditions of the population’s origins. Finally, growing a second intermediate generation did not impact the genetic differences of ancestors and descendants within the environments, supporting the idea that only one intermediate generation may be sufficient to reduce detectable parental and storage effects.
The resurrection approach allows a better understanding of rapid plant adaptation, but some limitations deserve to be highlighted. I only studied one population per species, and Chapters II and III only focus on one population of L. hispidus, which is also hampering generalizations, as adaptive potential can vary greatly among populations of the same species. I only compared the ancestral genotypes to one descendant sample with a long time span in between (26 – 28 years), which makes it hard to pinpoint the selection agents that caused the genetic differentiation among the sampling years. Hence, closely monitoring biotic and abiotic factors of the studied populations between the ancestral and descendant sampling in future studies, would make identifying the responsible selection pressures more precise. I also recommend sampling multiple populations over consecutive years to improve the robustness of results and make generalizations more approachable.Furthermore, combining the resurrection approach with other methods such as in-situ transplantations will be valuable to offset the limitation that adaptations cannot be proven under artificial conditions (e.g., in the greenhouse).
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the stem cell niche (SCN) within the root apical meristem (RAM) is maintained by an intricate regulatory network that ensures optimal growth and high developmental plasticity. Yet, many aspects of this regulatory network of stem cell quiescence and replenishment are still not fully understood. Here, we investigate the interplay of the key transcription factors (TFs) BRASSINOSTEROID AT VASCULAR AND ORGANIZING CENTRE (BRAVO), PLETHORA 3 (PLT3) and WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 5 (WOX5) involved in SCN maintenance. Phenotypical analysis of mutants involving these TFs uncover their combinatorial regulation of cell fates and divisions in the SCN. Moreover, interaction studies employing fluorescence resonance energy transfer fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FRET-FLIM) in combination with novel analysis methods, allowed us to quantify protein-protein interaction (PPI) affinities as well as higher-order complex formation of these TFs. We integrated our experimental results into a computational model, suggesting that cell type specific profiles of protein complexes and characteristic complex formation, that is also dependent on prion-like domains in PLT3, contribute to the intricate regulation of the SCN. We propose that these unique protein complex ‘signatures’ could serve as a read-out for cell specificity thereby adding another layer to the sophisticated regulatory network that balances stem cell maintenance and replenishment in the Arabidopsis root.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit werden zum ersten Mal die Ökologie, Morphologie und Systematik von Pilzen untersucht, die assoziiert mit Haut- und Nagelläsionen von ambulanten Patienten sowie von Patienten dermatologischer Praxen in der Provinz Chiriquí im Westen Panamas nachgewiesen wurden. Die Pilze werden klassifiziert nach dem klinischen D-H-SSystem von Rieth und entsprechend ihrer Position im phylogenetischen System der Pilze. Die Morphologie der verschiedenen Arten wird dokumentiert auf der Grundlage von Kulturen und lichtmikroskopischer Untersuchungen durch Beschreibungen sowie Zeichnungen und Fotographien charakteristischer Strukturen. Die Pathogenität der einzelnen Pilzstämme wurde nicht nachgewiesen, sondern auf der Grundlage von Angaben aus der Literatur diskutiert. Außerdem lieferte die Literatur Daten zum Vorkommen der Pilze an Pflanzen und anderen Substraten in der Natur.
In Panama wurden zahlreiche klinische Proben untersucht, von denen ca. 100 Pilzstämme nach Deutschland geschickt wurden. Dort konnten 80 Stämme weiter kultiviert und detailliert untersucht werden. Mehr als 22 verschiedene Arten wurden beobachtet, die 17 verschiedenen Gattungen angehören. Sie entsprechen drei verschiedenen Arten von Dermatophyten, mindestens drei Arten von Hefen und 16 verschiedenen Schimmel- oder sonstigen Pilzarten.
Mit Ausnahme von Hormographiella verticillata wurden ausschließlich imperfekte Stadien beobachtet, und zwar überwiegend von verschiedenen Vertretern der Ascomycota: Dothideales: Scytalidium dimidiatum (6 Stämme), Eurotiales: Aspergillus spp. (4), Paecilomyces lilacinus (2), Penicillium sp. (2), Hypocreales: Fusarium lichenicola (3), F. solani (4), F. subglutinans (1), Microascales: Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (2), Onygenales: Trichophyton mentagrophytes (2), T. rubrum (9), T. tonsurans (7), Ophiostomatales: Sporothrix schenckii (1), Pleosporales: Curvularia geniculata (1), Polystigmatales: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (1), Sordariales: Nigrospora sphaerica (1), Saccharomycetales: Candida spp. (12), Geotrichum candidum (8), incerte sedis: Pestalotiopsis cf. tecomicola (1), Tritirachium oryzae (1). Vertreter der Basidiomycota sind: Agaricales: Hormographiella verticillata bzw. Coprinellus domesticus (3), Polyporales: Unbekannter Basidiomycet (1), Trichosporonales: Trichosporon cutaneum (6).
Im Rahmen dieser Studie waren Schimmelpilze die am häufigsten bei Haut- und Nagelläsionen angetroffenen Pilze. Unter diesen waren Fusarium-Arten und Scytalidium dimidiatum besonders häufig vertreten. Candida-Arten wurden ebenfalls oft isoliert. Die wichtigste Art unter den Dermatophyten war Trichophyton rubrum. Die prozentualen Anteile der verschiedenen Gruppen entsprechen gut den von anderen Autoren aus anderen Regionen publizierten Ergebnissen. Dies erklärt sich aufgrund der ökologischen Tatsache, dass die Sporen der Schimmelpilze fast überall in der Natur vorhanden sind und diese Pilze viele verschiedene Substrate nutzen können. Candida-Arten gehören zur normalen Flora des Menschen, können aber bei immunodefizienten Patienten, Diabetikern u.a. schwere Haut- und Schleimhautinfektionen, sowie Organerkrankungen verursachen. Dermatophyten sind als Krankheitserreger oberflächlicher Hautmykosen bekannt.
Zum ersten Mal wird das Vorkommen von Hormographiella verticillata in Amerika nachgewiesen. Dieses imperfekte Stadium eines Basidiomyceten hat in Kultur Fruchtkörper gebildet, die als Coprinellus domesticus bestimmt wurden. Damit wurde zum ersten Mal die Anamorph-Teleomorph-Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Arten festgestellt, die durch eine molekular-phylogenetische Analyse von LSU rDNA (große Untereinheit der ribosomalen DNA) unterstützt wird. Für diese Analyse wurden andere Stämme und Genbank-Daten zum Vergleich herangezogen.
In den Kulturen von H. verticillata entstehen vor der Entwicklung der Fruchtkörper asexuelle sterile Hyphen, die als Ozonium-Stadium bezeichnet werden können. Zum Vergleich wurden Herbarbelege von verschiedenen Arten dieser Gattung bearbeitet. Die Arten sind morphologisch nicht unterscheidbar, weshalb vorgeschlagen wird, nur den Gattungsnamen zur Bezeichnung des entsprechenden Entwicklungsstadiums zu benutzen.
Es war nicht möglich, aufgrund morphologischer Merkmale den Stamm des Unbekannten Basidiomyceten zu bestimmen. Erst eine molekular-phylogenetischer Analyse von LSU rDNA mit Vergleichssequenzen aus der Genbank zeigte, dass der Pilz nahe verwandt ist mit Vertretern der Polyporales.
The mitochondrial matrix peptidase CLPP is crucial during cell stress. Its loss causes Perrault syndrome type 3 (PRLTS3) with infertility, neurodegeneration, and a growth deficit. Its target proteins are disaggregated by CLPX, which also regulates heme biosynthesis via unfolding ALAS enzymes, providing access for pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP). Despite efforts in diverse organisms with multiple techniques, CLPXP substrates remain controversial. Here, avoiding recombinant overexpression, we employed complexomics in mitochondria from three mouse tissues to identify endogenous targets. A CLPP absence caused the accumulation and dispersion of CLPX-VWA8 as AAA+ unfoldases, and of PLPBP. Similar changes and CLPX-VWA8 co-migration were evident for mitoribosomal central protuberance clusters, translation factors like GFM1-HARS2, the RNA granule components LRPPRC-SLIRP, and enzymes OAT-ALDH18A1. Mitochondrially translated proteins in testes showed reductions to <30% for MTCO1-3, the mis-assembly of the complex IV supercomplex, and accumulated metal-binding assembly factors COX15-SFXN4. Indeed, heavy metal levels were increased for iron, molybdenum, cobalt, and manganese. RT-qPCR showed compensatory downregulation only for Clpx mRNA; most accumulated proteins appeared transcriptionally upregulated. Immunoblots validated VWA8, MRPL38, MRPL18, GFM1, and OAT accumulation. Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed CLPX binding to MRPL38, GFM1, and OAT, so excess CLPX and PLP may affect their activity. Our data mechanistically elucidate the mitochondrial translation fidelity deficits which underlie progressive hearing impairment in PRLTS3.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of aggregated species of amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain, which leads to progressive cognitive deficits and dementia. Aβ is generated by the successive cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), first by β-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) and subsequently by the γ-secretase complex. Those conditions which enhace or reduce its clearance predispose to Aβ aggregation and the development of AD. In vitro studies have demonstrated that Aβ assemblies spark a feed-forward loop heightening Aβ production. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we show that oligomers and fibrils of Aβ enhance colocalization and physical interaction of APP and BACE1 in recycling endosomes of human neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells and other cell types, which leads to exacerbated amyloidogenic processing of APP and intracellular accumulation of Aβ42. In cells that are overexpressing the mutant forms of APP which are unable to bind Aβ or to activate Go protein, we have found that treatment with aggregated Aβ fails to increase colocalization of APP with BACE1 indicating that Aβ-APP/Go signaling is involved in this process. Moreover, inhibition of Gβγ subunit signaling with βARKct or gallein prevents Aβ-dependent interaction of APP and BACE1 in endosomes, β-processing of APP, and intracellular accumulation of Aβ42. Collectively, our findings uncover a signaling mechanism leading to a feed-forward loop of amyloidogenesis that might contribute to Aβ pathology in the early stages of AD and suggest that gallein could have therapeutic potential.
In recent years, the number and type of treatment options in advanced bladder cancer (BC) have been rapidly evolving. To select an effective therapy and spare unnecessary side effects, predictive biomarkers are urgently needed. As the host’s anti-cancer immune response is by far the most effective system to impede malignant tumor growth, immune system-based biomarkers are promising. We have recently described altered proteasomal epitope processing as an effective immune escape mechanism to impair cytotoxic T-cell activity. By altering the neoantigens’ characteristics through different proteasomal peptide cleavage induced by non-synonymous somatic mutations, the ability for T-cell activation was decreased (“processing escapes”). In the present study, we analyzed primary chemo-naïve tissue samples of 26 adjuvant platinum-treated urothelial BC patients using a targeted next-generation sequencing panel followed by the epitope determination of affected genes, a machine-learning based prediction of epitope processing and proteasomal cleavage and of HLA-affinity as well as immune activation. Immune infiltration (immunohistochemistries for CD8, granzyme B, CD45/LCA) was digitally quantified by a pathologist and clinico-pathological and survival data were collected. We detected 145 epitopes with characteristics of a processing escape associated with a higher number of CD8-positive but lower number of granzyme B-positive cells and no association with PD-L1-expression. In addition, a high prevalence of processing escapes was associated with unfavorable overall survival. Our data indicate the presence of processing escapes in advanced BC, potentially creating a tumor-promoting pro-inflammatory environment with lowered anti-cancerous activity and independence from PD-L1-expression. The data also need to be prospectively validated in BC treated with immune therapy.
Gram-negative Tripartite Resistance Nodulation and cell Division (RND) superfamily efflux pumps confer various functions, including multidrug and bile salt resistance, quorum-sensing, virulence and can influence the rate of mutations on the chromosome. Multidrug RND efflux systems are often characterized by a wide substrate specificity. Similarly to many other RND efflux pump systems, AcrAD-TolC confers resistance toward SDS, novobiocin and deoxycholate. In contrast to the other pumps, however, it in addition confers resistance against aminoglycosides and dianionic β-lactams, such as sulbenicillin, aztreonam and carbenicillin. Here, we could show that AcrD from Salmonella typhimurium confers resistance toward several hitherto unreported AcrD substrates such as temocillin, dicloxacillin, cefazolin and fusidic acid. In order to address the molecular determinants of the S. typhimurium AcrD substrate specificity, we conducted substitution analyses in the putative access and deep binding pockets and in the TM1/TM2 groove region. The variants were tested in E. coli ΔacrBΔacrD against β-lactams oxacillin, carbenicillin, aztreonam and temocillin. Deep binding pocket variants N136A, D276A and Y327A; access pocket variant R625A; and variants with substitutions in the groove region between TM1 and TM2 conferred a sensitive phenotype and might, therefore, be involved in anionic β-lactam export. In contrast, lower susceptibilities were observed for E. coli cells harbouring deep binding pocket variants T139A, D176A, S180A, F609A, T611A and F627A and the TM1/TM2 groove variant I337A. This study provides the first insights of side chains involved in drug binding and transport for AcrD from S. typhimurium.
In recent decades, mass spectrometry has moved more than ever before into the front line of protein-centered research. After being established at the qualitative level, the more challenging question of quantification of proteins and peptides using mass spectrometry has become a focus for further development. In this chapter, we discuss and review actual strategies and problems of the methods for the quantitative analysis of peptides, proteins, and finally proteomes by mass spectrometry. The common themes, the differences, and the potential pitfalls of the main approaches are presented in order to provide a survey of the emerging field of quantitative, mass spectrometry-based proteomics.
