While signaling pathways are highly specialized, different pathways often share components or have components with overlapping functions. In the yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>, the high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway has two seemingly redundant branches, mediated by Sln1 and Sho1. Both branches are activated by osmotic pressure, leading to phosphorylation of the MAPKs Hog1 and Kss1. The mating pathway is activated by pheromone, leading to phosphorylation of the MAPKs Fus3 and Kss1. Given that Kss1 is shared by the two pathways, we investigated its role in signal coordination. We activated both pathways with a combination of salt and pheromone, in cells lacking the shared MAPK and in cells lacking either of the redundant branches of the HOG pathway. By systematically evaluating MAPK activation, translocation, and transcription programs, we determined that Sho1 mediates cross talk between the HOG and mating pathways and does so through Kss1. Further, we show that Kss1 initiates a transcriptional program that is distinct from that induced by Hog1 and Fus3. Our findings reveal how redundant and shared components coordinate concurrent signals and thereby adapt to sudden environmental changes.</p>","PeriodicalId":18735,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Biology of the Cell","volume":" ","pages":"ar126"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11481699/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141860285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased MRTF-A activity is associated with more effective membrane protrusion, a phenotype that is attributed predominantly to SRF's interaction with MRTF. We demonstrate formin-family protein mDia2 as an important mediator of MRTF-stimulated actin polymerization at the leading edge and cell migration. Multiplexed quantitative immunohistochemistry and transcriptome analyses of clinical BC specimens further demonstrate a positive correlation between nuclear localization of MRTF with malignant traits of cancer cells and enrichment of MRTF-SRF gene signature in pair-matched distant metastases versus primary tumors.

We find distinct protein signatures between control cells and cells stimulated with growth factors. Clathrin sites at the plasma membrane are preloaded with some receptors but not others. Stimulation with epidermal growth factor induces capture and concentration of epidermal growth factor-, fibroblast growth factor-, and low-density lipoprotein-receptors (EGFR, FGFR1, and LDLR). Regulatory proteins including ubiquitin ligase Cbl, the scaffold Grb2, and the mechanoenzyme dynamin2 are also recruited. Disrupting FGFR or EGFR activity with drugs prevents the recruitment of both EGFR and FGFR1. EGF was able to activate FGFR1 phosphorylation. Our data reveals novel co-clustering and activation of receptors and regulatory factors at clathrin-coated sites in response to stimulation by a single growth factor, EGF or FGF.

The RAD51 recombinase is a key mediator of chromatin mobility following DNA damage. As functions of RAD51 beyond DNA repair are being discovered, we asked if RAD51 modulates chromatin dynamics in the absence of DNA damage and found that inhibition or depletion of RAD51 alters chromatin motions in undamaged cells. Inhibition of RAD51 increased nucleosome clustering. Predictions from polymer models are that chromatin clusters reduce chain mobility and, indeed, we measured reduced motion of individual chromatin loci in cells treated with a RAD51 inhibitor. This effect was conserved in mammalian cells, yeasts, and plant cells. In contrast, RAD51 depletion or inhibition increased global chromatin motions at the microscale.

We demonstrate here that mutations predicted to specifically disrupt actin polymerization by FHOD-1 similarly disrupt muscle development, and that FHOD-1 cooperates with profilin PFN-3 for dense body morphogenesis, and with profilins PFN-2 and PFN-3 to promote body wall muscle growth. We further demonstrate that dense bodies in worms lacking FHOD-1 or PFN-2/PFN-3 are less stable than in wild type animals, having a higher proportion of dynamic protein, and becoming distorted by prolonged muscle contraction. We also observe accumulation of actin and actin depolymerization factor/cofilin homolog UNC-60B in body wall muscle of these mutants. Such accumulations may indicate targeted disassembly of thin filaments dislodged from unstable dense bodies, possibly accounting for the abnormally slow growth and reduced body wall muscle strength in fhod-1 mutants. Overall, these results implicate FHOD protein-mediated actin assembly in forming stable sarcomere Z-lines, and identify profilin as a new contributor to FHOD activity in striated muscle development.","PeriodicalId":18735,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Biology of the Cell","volume":"5 1","pages":"mbcE24040145"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142184289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High throughput mRNA sequencing shows selective engagement with ribosomes synthesizing secretory and membrane proteins with long translocated segments, and functional analysis shows reduced stability of two such proteins, EpCAM and PTTG1IP, in cells depleted of FKBP11.

Microtubule dynamics are characterized by dynamic instability-the ability of individual microtubules to switch between phases of growth and shrinkage. Dynamic instability can be explained by the GTP-cap model, suggesting that a 'cap' of GTP-tubulin subunits at the growing microtubule end has a stabilizing effect, protecting against microtubule catastrophe-the switch from growth to shrinkage. Although the GTP-cap is thought to protect the growing microtubule end, whether the GTP-cap size affects microtubule stability in cells is not known. Notably, a family of microtubule end-binding proteins, EBs, recognize the nucleotide state of tubulin and display comet-like localization at growing microtubule ends, which can be used as a proxy for the GTP-cap. Here, we employ high spatiotemporal resolution imaging to compare the relationship between EB comet size and microtubule dynamics in interphase LLC-PK1 cells to that measured in vitro. Our data reveal that the GTP-cap size in cells scales with the microtubule growth rate in the same way as in vitro. However, we find that microtubule ends in cells can withstand transition to catastrophe even after the EB comet is lost. Thus, our findings suggest that the presence of the GTP-cap is not the determinant of microtubule end stability in cells.","PeriodicalId":18735,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Biology of the Cell","volume":"58 1","pages":"mbcE24070307"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142184292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
