We show that serum provides consumed factors that enable proliferation, with serum metal and lipid components serving as crucial metabolic resources. Despite access to a wide range of lipid classes available in serum, we find albumin-bound lipids are the primary species consumed by cancer cells. Furthermore, we find that supplementing with additives that contain necessary metals and any of the albumin-associated lipid classes can obviate the FBS requirement for cancer cell proliferation. Using this defined system, we investigated cancer cell lipid consumption dynamics, finding that albumin-associated lipids are primarily consumed through a mass-action mechanism with minimal competition within or amongst lipid classes. We also find that lipid scavenging is a dominant lipid acquisition route and is necessary for cancer cell proliferation.

Beyond its well-characterized neurotoxic effects, rotenone also triggers G2/M arrest in cells, but the molecular mechanisms linking this cell cycle perturbation to neurodegeneration remain unclear. Here, we identify HMGB1 as a key player in this process. HMGB1, known for its roles in genomic integrity and inflammation, exits the nucleus during rotenone-induced G2/M arrest, whereas its nuclear retention protects against mitotic DNA damage and subsequent cell cycle arrest. We found that rotenone-induced tubulin hyperacetylation precedes HMGB1 nuclear exit and is associated with increased mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) levels. Notably, reducing the levels of αTAT1 (alpha tubulin acetyltransferase 1) lowers mtROS production, preventing HMGB1 nuclear exit and subsequent rotenone-induced G2/M arrest. Although ROS is known to enhance tubulin acetylation, our findings reveal a bidirectional relationship in which tubulin acetylation regulates mtROS production and exacerbates cellular oxidative stress. Moreover, the PARP1 inhibitor PJ34 suppresses HMGB1 nuclear exit and rescues G2/M arrest, suggesting that mtROS-induced DNA damage elevates PARP1 activity, driving HMGB1 PARylation and subsequent translocation thus impairing DNA damage repair. Together, our findings uncover a previously unknown tubulin acetylation/mtROS/HMGB1 axis as a key driver of rotenone-induced G2/M arrest, highlighting the essential role of nuclear HMGB1 in maintaining genomic stability.

Despite being classified as an anaerobic parasite, H. meleagridis can survive transient exposure to oxygen while little is known about the mechanisms that allow this organism to cope with exposure to varying oxygen levels. Inspecting the H. meleagridis genome revealed that this organism possesses two flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) belonging to Classes A and F, which are known in other organisms to reduce O2 to H2O. The Class F FDP found in H. meleagridis (HmFDPF) has domain organization previously described for similar proteins and contains a middle rubredoxin-like and C-terminal NADH:rubredoxin oxidoreductase (NROR) domains in addition to an N-terminal FDP core. Here, we present extensive biochemical characterization of this protein to improve understanding of the coordinated activities of multiple redox centers that enable NADH-dependent reduction of O2 to H2O. We found that although superoxide is a HmFDPF reaction intermediate, only a very small amount of H2O2 is released as a byproduct. Moreover, HmFDPF does not possess NADH:H2O2 oxidoreductase activity and the enzyme is prone to quick inactivation by H2O2.

While biallelic mutations in aaRSs often result in severe multi-organ dysfunction accompanied by developmental delays, monoallelic mutations typically cause milder, tissue-specific symptoms. However, a de novo monoallelic nonsense mutation (R534*) in the asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (AsnRS)-resulting in a premature stop codon and 15-residue C-terminal truncation-has been identified in multiple families and is associated with severe neurodevelopmental symptoms. Here, we find that patient-derived lymphoblasts express similar amounts of wild-type (WT) and mutant (R534*) AsnRS and exhibit a severe proliferation defect. Like most aaRS family members, AsnRS functions as a homodimer. Structural analysis indicates that the region deleted in AsnRSR534* (R534-P548) contributes to dimerization, tRNA binding, and stabilization of the catalytic site architecture. Indeed, AsnRSR534*forms a weaker homodimer than AsnRSWT, displays impaired tRNA binding, along with a severe loss of enzymatic activity. Nevertheless, when exogenously expressed in human cells, AsnRSR534* shows a much stronger tendency than AsnRSWT to dimerize with the endogenous WT enzyme, driving R534*/WT heterodimer predominance in the cell. Notably, the heterodimer is severely defective in enzymatic function, comparable to the AsnRSR534*homodimer, indicating that AsnRSR534*exerts a dominant-negative loss-of-function effect on the WT subunit through heterodimerization. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for how a monoallelic AsnRS mutation can lead to profound cellular dysfunction and contribute to severe neurodevelopmental disease, offering new insights into aaRS-associated pathologies and potential therapeutic strategies.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"103 1","pages":"110690"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007110","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}

In brain endothelial cells, WNT7 proteins activate β-catenin signaling through the ligand-specific receptor complex GPR124-RECK and classical WNT receptors of the FZD and LRP families. Previous studies suggested that WNT7 isoforms assemble a GPR124-RECK-FZD-LRP5/6 multi-receptor complex for signaling. However, direct biochemical evidence for this complex and its signaling mechanisms remains elusive. Here, we investigated the formation and signaling mechanisms of WNT7 co-receptor complexes in brain endothelial cells using CRISPR/Cas9, biochemical analyses, and cell-based assays. Unexpectedly, cells with knockout of all FZD isoforms retained ∼25% of WNT7 responsiveness, whereas classical WNT3A signaling was completely abolished. Similarly, knockout of all Dvl paralogs, key mediators of FZD signaling, preserved ∼50% of WNT7 signaling activity but fully blocked WNT3A responses. In contrast, knockout of Gpr124, Reck, or Lrp5/6 completely abrogated WNT7 signaling. While both WNT7A and WNT3A triggered LRP6 phosphorylation, only WNT3A induced DVL2 phosphorylation. Biochemical analyses revealed WNT7-dependent recruitment of LRP5/6, but not FZD, to the GPR124-RECK heterodimer, forming a GPR124-RECK-WNT7-LRP5/6 complex. In GPR124-deficient cells, WNT7 proteins still assembled a RECK-WNT7-LRP5/6 core complex, yet this complex lacked signaling activity and LRP6 phosphorylation. Clustering of RECK-WNT7-LRP5/6 complexes with recombinant dimeric GPR124 ectodomain or a RECK antibody partially restored signaling, suggesting that GPR124 mediates formation of higher-order complexes. Our findings indicate that WNT7 signaling in brain endothelial cells is driven by distinct co-receptor complexes: a FZD-independent GPR124-RECK-LRP5/6 complex and FZD-dependent complexes that likely act in synergy.","PeriodicalId":15140,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":"3 1","pages":"110682"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007109","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}
