The viral protease is an attractive target for therapeutics due to its critical functions throughout infection. Many studies have reported on the structure, function, and importance of orthoflavivirus proteases; however, the molecular determinants for cleavage of intracellular substrates by orthoflavivirus proteases and how these factors affect viral fitness are unknown. In this study, we used our fluorescent, protease-activity reporter system to investigate the subcellular determinants involved in orthoflavivirus protease cleavage. By modifying our reporter platform, we identified endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subdomain localization and membrane proximity of the substrate cleavage site as two previously uncharacterized molecular determinants for cleavage. We also altered the amino acid composition of the reporter recognition motif to introduce sequences present at the cytoplasmic cleavage junctions within orthoflavivirus polyproteins and found that each protease processed the sequence located at the junction between NS4A and the 2K peptide least efficiently. Live-cell imaging revealed that cleavage of the NS4A|2K motif is significantly delayed compared to the capsid cleavage sequence. We further determined that introducing a more efficient cleavage sequence into the NS4A|2K junctions of orthoflavivirus infectious clones abolished virus recovery. Overall, this study identifies ER subdomain localization and membrane proximity of the recognition motif as molecular determinants for cleavage by orthoflavivirus proteases and provides insight into the role that sequence specificity plays in the coordinated processing of the viral polyprotein and establishing productive infections.</p>","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"110451"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144575503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cessation corresponds with the dispersal of the COPII transport protein, Sec24C, from juxtanuclear ER exit sites (ERES) into a diffusely cytosolic pool. Redistribution of Sec24 paralogs and other core COPII proteins may underlie the mitotic pause in secretion and may be required for the equal inheritance of endomembrane organelles and machinery by both daughter cells. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms governing the mitotic relocalization of COPII components. Here, we explore the role of post-translational modifications (PTMs) of the model COPII protein Sec24C in this phenotypic switch during mitosis. In interphase, Sec24C is modified by O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), and we show that this glycan is rapidly removed upon mitotic entry, influencing the timing of Sec24C dispersal. Additionally, we identify novel, cell cycle phase-enriched phosphorylation events on Sec24C, including phosphosites that regulate the stability and localization of the protein, providing the first systematic characterization of dynamic PTMs on any Sec24 protein. Together, our data support the hypothesis that phosphorylation and glycosylation of Sec24C act in concert to induce rapid dispersal upon mitotic entry and may promote equal partitioning of the endomembrane system to daughter cells after division.</p>","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"110456"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144567469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To carry out its catalytic polypeptide-unfolding activity, Hsp70 needs to reversibly interact with a J-domain (JDP) catalyst, a misfolded or alternatively-folded polypeptide substrate and a Nucleotide Exchange Factor (NEF), which binds to the Nucleotide Binding Domain (NBD), accelerates ADP-release and controls the dissociation of the unfolded polypeptide product of the unfolding reaction. In bacteria, GrpE is the ubiquitous NEF, and yet, during the process of eukaryotisation, it was lost from the cytosol, to be replaced by novel NEF proteins, among which the Hsp110 family stands out. Curiously, Hsp110s belong to the Hsp70 superfamily, but the evolutionary steps that led from an ancestral Hsp70 unfoldase to a Hsp110 NEF catalyzing other Hsp70's activity, remain unsolved. Combining experiments using wild-type Sse1 (yeast Hsp110) and rationally designed mutants, we show that Hsp110 is likely built upon some distinctive features already present in Hsp70 by repurposing them, rather than by fashioning novel molecular properties. Taking all results together, we suggest a novel mechanism of action of Hsp110, whereby it is a NEF that also enhances the unfolding/disaggregating entropic pulling forces generated by Hsp70, by transiently increasing the chaperone effective volume.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"76 1","pages":"110450"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144566430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, they are small aliphatic cations that exhibit multifunctional activities through interactions with acidic substances, thereby precluding our understanding of their molecular functions in biological processes. eIF5A1 and eIF5A2 share high amino acid sequence similarity, and hypusination, using spermidine, is essential for their functions. eIF5A1 is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues and is essential for normal cell growth, whereas eIF5A2 is often expressed in human cancer tissues; however, the functional differences between eIF5A1 and eIF5A2 remain unclear. Here, we found that eIF5A2 is regulated by polyamines at the translational level and that eIF5A2, rather than eIF5A1, is important for cancer cell growth. The translational initiation of eIF5A2 mRNA was negatively regulated by miR-6514-5p at the 5'-UTR, and polyamines inhibited this miRNA function, facilitating eIF5A2 synthesis. A proteomic analysis of cells with either eIF5A1 or eIF5A2 silenced showed distinct profiles. In addition, polyamines upregulated the expression of five ribosomal proteins, particularly RPS27A, RPL36A, and RPL22L1, which are associated with cancer malignancy. Our findings reveal an important role for eIF5A2, regulated by polyamines and miR-6514-5p, in cancer cell proliferation, suggesting that the interaction between eIF5A2 and ribosomes, which regulate cancer progression, is a selective target for cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"20 1","pages":"110453"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144566434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Targeting dysregulated PPI presents a promising strategy for development of therapeutic compounds. However, traditional drug discovery platforms often rely on plasmid-driven overexpression models that fail to replicate the complexity and dynamics of PPI in native cellular contexts. This study aims to evaluate the use of NanoLuc Binary Technology (NanoBiT) and NanoLuc Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (NanoBRET) for quantifying interactions of endogenously regulated proteins in live cells. To achieve this, CRISPR-mediated genome engineering was used to integrate NanoBiT and NanoBRET fusion tags at the loci for EGFR/GRB2 and KRas/CRAF in DLD-1 and HCT 116 cell lines. Assays using the engineered cell lines were then conducted in monolayer cultures using endpoint and kinetic measurements, as well as luminescence imaging. The approach was further expanded to investigate PPI in cancer-associated isogenic cell lines and 3D spheroid models that better preserve additional aspects of cellular organization. Collectively, these findings establish a robust and modular workflow for generating endogenously regulated PPI reporter cell lines to improve relevance and predictive power of live-cell assays. By capturing interaction dynamics in a more representative background, this approach offers a potentially valuable tool for elucidating signaling mechanisms and characterizing therapeutic compounds targeting PPIs.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"20 1","pages":"110454"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144566432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report here that endothelial cell activation by the cytokine TNFα and TLR3 agonist poly-inosine/cytosine (pI:C) induces the lymphocyte activation molecule CD69 via the canonical NFκB pathway. EC CD69 stimulates endocytosis of S1PR1, inhibits its downstream intracellular signaling events and barrier function. Administration of TLR4 or TLR3 agonists or intranasal infection of mouse-adapted influenza virus (H1N1) or coronavirus (MHV-A59) induced CD69 in lung endothelial cells. AAV-mediated overexpression of CD69 in lung EC leads to decreased cell-surface expression of S1PR1 and tight junction protein Claudin-5, concomitantly with increased vascular permeability in the lungs. Further, lung vascular leak at the peak of H1N1 infection is attenuated in a genetic mouse model which lacks CD69 in the endothelium. These data suggest that endothelial activation during inflammation and viral host-defense induces CD69 which downregulates S1PR1 to induce vascular leakage. CD69 induction during endothelial dysfunction may drive exaggerated inflammation by antagonizing the endothelial protective S1PR1 pathway.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"27 1","pages":"110455"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144566435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we generate monomeric bacteriophytochrome PSMs that form stable heterodimers once mixed by modifying two salt bridges at the dimerization interface of the Deinococcus radiodurans phytochrome (DrBphP). We confirm that these heterodimeric PSMs can control output HK module activity in response to red light and reveal that dimerization is required for kinase activity of the model HK FixL, but not necessarily for phosphatase activity of DrBphP.
