In this study, we demonstrate that inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase, Type II (INPP4B) overexpression in PDAC is associated with PDAC progression. We show that INPP4B overexpression promotes peripheral dispersion and exocytosis of lysosomes resulting in increased migratory and invasive potential of PDAC cells. Mechanistically, INPP4B overexpression drives the generation of PtdIns(3,5)P2 on lysosomes in a PIKfyve-dependent manner, which directs TRPML-1 to trigger the release of calcium ions (Ca2+). Our findings offer a molecular understanding of the prognostic significance of INPP4B overexpression in PDAC through the discovery of a novel oncogenic signaling axis that orchestrates migratory and invasive properties of PDAC via the regulation of lysosomal phosphoinositide homeostasis.</p>","PeriodicalId":15211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"223 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11317760/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141906711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During prometaphase, chromosomes acquire a smoother surface, their arms shorten, and the primary centromeric constriction is formed. The chromatin is progressively compacted, ultimately reaching a remarkable nucleosome concentration of over 750 µM in late prometaphase that remains relatively constant during metaphase and early anaphase. Surprisingly, chromosomes then increase their volume in late anaphase prior to deposition of the nuclear envelope.

The WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) is a central Arp2/3 regulator driving cell motility downstream of activation by Rac GTPase. CYFIP-related Rac1 interactor (CYRI) proteins are thought to compete with WRC for interaction with Rac1 in a feedback loop regulating lamellipodia dynamics. However, the physiological role of CYRI proteins in vivo in healthy tissues is unclear. Here, we used Drosophila as a model system to study CYRI function at the cellular and organismal levels. We found that CYRI is not only a potent WRC regulator in single macrophages that controls lamellipodial spreading but also identified CYRI as a molecular brake on the Rac-WRC-Arp2/3 pathway to slow down epidermal wound healing. In addition, we found that CYRI limits invasive border cell migration by controlling cluster cohesion and migration. Thus, our data highlight CYRI as an important regulator of cellular and epithelial tissue dynamics conserved across species.","PeriodicalId":15211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142490567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, cellular cryo-ET data is highly complex, requiring image segmentation for visualization and quantification of subcellular structures. Due to noise and anisotropic resolution in cryo-ET data, automatic segmentation based on classical computer vision approaches usually does not perform satisfactorily. Communication between neurons relies on neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicle (SV) exocytosis. Cryo-ET study of the spatial organization of SVs and their interconnections allows a better understanding of the mechanisms of exocytosis regulation. Accurate SV segmentation is a prerequisite to obtaining a faithful connectivity representation. Hundreds of SVs are present in a synapse, and their manual segmentation is a bottleneck. We addressed this by designing a workflow consisting of a convolutional network followed by post-processing steps. Alongside, we provide an interactive tool for accurately segmenting spherical vesicles. Our pipeline can in principle segment spherical vesicles in any cell type as well as extracellular and in vitro spherical vesicles.","PeriodicalId":15211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142489668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The endosomal deubiquitylase, USP8, interacts with CTLA4, and its loss enhances CTLA4 ubiquitylation in cancer cells, mouse CD4+ T cells, and cancer cell-derived exosomes. Depletion of the USP8 adapter protein, HD-PTP, but not ESCRT-0 recapitulates this cellular phenotype but shows distinct properties vis-à-vis exosome incorporation. Re-expression of wild-type USP8, but neither a catalytically inactive nor a localization-compromised ΔMIT domain mutant can rescue delayed degradation of CTLA4 or counteract its accumulation in clustered endosomes.

Utilizing this system, we monitored the transcriptional bursting of fasting-induced genes and found that the epidermis responds to fasting by modulating the proportion of actively transcribing nuclei and transcriptional kinetics of individual alleles. Additionally, our findings revealed the essential roles of the transcription factors NHR-49 and HLH-30 in governing the transcriptional kinetics of fasting-induced genes under fasting.

We used condensate FLIM-FRET to evaluate whether mRNA decapping complex subunits can form decapping-competent interactions within P-bodies.
