Nucleotide metabolism reprogramming drives tumor progression, yet how tumor cells sense nucleotide levels remains unclear. Here, we identified UMP as an endogenous regulator of the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A1 in gastric cancer (GCa). Under UMP sufficiency, UMP directly binds to NR4A1, inhibiting its tumor-suppressive function and promoting GCa progression. Conversely, UMP deficiency resulting from disrupted pyrimidine biosynthesis derepresses NR4A1, which suppresses GCa cell survival and progression by both increasing NR4A1 occupancy at super-enhancers to reprogram survival-gene expression and enhancing NR4A1’s pro-apoptotic activity at the mitochondria. NR4A1 loss was sufficient to rescue the effects of pyrimidine nucleotide stress on GCa cells in vitro and in vivo. NR4A1 agonists suppressed the pyrimidine salvage pathway triggered by de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis (DNPB) inhibition. Co-targeting DNPB and NR4A1 induced synergistic tumor lethality in GCa xenograft models. Together, our results establish UMP as an endogenous regulator of NR4A1 and provide an effective therapeutic strategy for GCa.
核苷酸代谢重编程驱动肿瘤进展,但肿瘤细胞如何感知核苷酸水平仍不清楚。在这里,我们发现UMP是胃癌(GCa)中孤儿核受体NR4A1的内源性调节因子。在UMP充足的情况下,UMP直接与NR4A1结合,抑制其抑瘤功能,促进GCa进展。相反,嘧啶生物合成中断导致的UMP缺乏会抑制NR4A1,通过增加NR4A1在重编程生存基因表达的超增强子上的占用和增强NR4A1在线粒体上的促凋亡活性,从而抑制GCa细胞的存活和进展。NR4A1缺失足以在体外和体内恢复嘧啶核苷酸胁迫对GCa细胞的影响。NR4A1激动剂抑制由新生嘧啶生物合成(DNPB)抑制引发的嘧啶回收途径。共同靶向DNPB和NR4A1诱导GCa异种移植模型的协同肿瘤致死。总之,我们的研究结果确定了UMP是NR4A1的内源性调节剂,并为GCa提供了有效的治疗策略。

How aneuploid cells tolerate chromosome arm gains or losses remains an open question. Using an isogenic human lung cell model with either chromosome 3p loss or 3q gain, combined with quantitative mass spectrometry and isotopic labeling, we reveal distinct proteostasis mechanisms for gain- and loss-type aneuploidy. Surprisingly, while compensation for 3q gain is primarily driven by increased degradation of excess protein complex subunits, 3p loss is neither counteracted by global protein degradation nor selectively reduced degradation. Rather, there is a relative upregulation in protein synthesis of those 3p-encoded proteins that participate in stable protein complexes to maintain functional complex stoichiometry. Additionally, 3p-encoded proteins that are in a complex show increased thermal stability in loss-type aneuploidy, potentially via their interactions with other proteins from euploid chromosomes. Together, our findings uncover distinct proteomic buffering strategies that enable cells to tolerate either excessive or deficient single-arm aneuploidy.
非整倍体细胞如何容忍染色体臂的增加或减少仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。利用染色体3p缺失或3q增加的等基因人肺细胞模型,结合定量质谱法和同位素标记,我们揭示了获得型和损失型非整倍体的不同蛋白质平衡机制。令人惊讶的是,虽然对3q增益的补偿主要是由过量蛋白质复合物亚基的降解增加所驱动的,但3p的损失既不会被整体蛋白质降解所抵消,也不会被选择性地减少降解。相反,那些参与稳定蛋白复合物以维持功能性复合物化学计量的3p编码蛋白的蛋白质合成存在相对上调。此外,在一个复合体中,3p编码的蛋白质在损失型非整倍体中表现出更高的热稳定性,这可能是通过它们与来自整倍体染色体的其他蛋白质的相互作用。总之,我们的发现揭示了不同的蛋白质组缓冲策略,使细胞能够耐受过度或缺乏单臂非整倍体。

In eukaryotes, each ribosomal subunit includes a ribosomal protein (RP) that is encoded as a fusion protein with ubiquitin (Ub). In yeast, each Ub-RP fusion requires processing by deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) to generate ribosome assembly-competent RPs and contribute to the cellular Ub pool. However, how Ub-RP fusions are processed by DUBs in human cells remains unclear. Here, we discovered that Ub-RPs are substrates of the Ub-fusion degradation (UFD) pathway in human cells via lysine 29 and 48 (K29/K48)-specific ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. We identified a pool of DUBs that catalytically process Ub-RPs, as well as DUBs that physically occlude Ub-RP interaction with UFD pathway Ub E3 ligases to prevent their degradation in a non-catalytic manner. Our results suggest that DUBs both process and stabilize Ub-RPs, whereas the UFD pathway regulates levels of Ub-RPs that cannot be fully processed by DUBs to fine-tune protein homeostasis.
在真核生物中,每个核糖体亚基包括一个与泛素(Ub)融合的核糖体蛋白(RP)。在酵母中,每次Ub- rp融合都需要去泛素化酶(DUBs)进行处理,以产生核糖体组装能力强的rp,并为细胞Ub库做出贡献。然而,人类细胞中的dub如何处理Ub-RP融合仍不清楚。在这里,我们发现ub - rp是人类细胞中ub融合降解(UFD)途径的底物,通过赖氨酸29和48 (K29/K48)特异性泛素化和蛋白酶体降解。我们发现了一组催化处理Ub- rp的dub,以及物理上阻断Ub- rp与UFD途径Ub E3连接酶相互作用以防止其以非催化方式降解的dub。我们的研究结果表明,DUBs加工和稳定ub - rp,而UFD途径调节不能被DUBs完全加工的ub - rp水平,以微调蛋白质稳态。

Protein-folding chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) buffers genetic variation in diverse organisms, but the clinical significance of HSP90 buffering in human disease remains unclear. Here, we show that HSP90 buffers mutations in the BRCT domain of BRCA1. HSP90-buffered BRCA1 mutations result in protein variants that retain interactions with partner proteins and strongly rely on HSP90 for protein stability and function in cell survival. Moreover, HSP90-buffered BRCA1 variants confer poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor resistance in cancer cells. Low-level HSP90 inhibition overcomes this resistance, revealing a cryptic and mutant-specific HSP90-contingent synthetic lethality. Furthermore, by stabilizing metastable variants across the entirety of the BRCT domain, HSP90 reduces the clinical severity of BRCA1 mutations, allowing them to accumulate in populations. We estimate that HSP90 buffers 18% of known human BRCA1-BRCT missense mutations. Our work extends the clinical significance of HSP90 buffering to a prevalent class of variations in BRCA1, pioneering its importance in therapy resistance and cancer predisposition.
蛋白折叠伴侣热休克蛋白90 (HSP90)缓冲多种生物的遗传变异,但HSP90缓冲在人类疾病中的临床意义尚不清楚。在这里,我们发现HSP90缓冲BRCA1的BRCT结构域的突变。HSP90缓冲的BRCA1突变导致蛋白质变体保留与伴侣蛋白的相互作用,并且在细胞存活中强烈依赖于HSP90的蛋白质稳定性和功能。此外,hsp90缓冲的BRCA1变异体赋予癌细胞对聚(adp -核糖)聚合酶(PARP)抑制剂的抗性。低水平的HSP90抑制克服了这种抗性,揭示了一种隐性的和突变特异性的HSP90偶发的合成致死率。此外,通过稳定整个BRCT结构域的亚稳态变异,HSP90降低了BRCA1突变的临床严重程度,使它们能够在人群中积累。我们估计HSP90缓冲18%的已知人类BRCA1-BRCT错义突变。我们的工作将HSP90缓冲的临床意义扩展到BRCA1中普遍存在的一类变异,开创了它在治疗耐药和癌症易感性中的重要性。

The Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase (SAGA) complex, a 1.8 MDa multi-subunit assembly comprising 19 subunits, is required for RNA polymerase II transcription in eukaryotes. The complex consists of four modules: transcription-associated protein 1 (Tra1), core, deubiquitination (DUB), and histone acetyltransferase (HAT). Although the structures of the Tra1, core, and DUB modules have been determined, the overall architecture of the HAT module remained elusive due to its inherent flexibility. To address this, we conducted cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analyses on SAGA purified from the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum, yielding structures of Tra1 and core modules at 2.6 Å and three of the four HAT subunits at 3.7 Å. The structure of the HAT module was informative about the aspects of histone acetylation and the interface of HAT-core modules, contradicting earlier AlphaFold predictions. Our structure-guided genetic and biochemical analyses confirmed the roles of Ada1 and Spt7 in anchoring the HAT module within the SAGA complex.
Spt-Ada-Gcn5乙酰转移酶(SAGA)复合体是由19个亚基组成的1.8 MDa多亚基组装体,是真核生物RNA聚合酶II转录所必需的。该复合物由四个模块组成:转录相关蛋白1 (Tra1)、核心、去泛素化(DUB)和组蛋白乙酰转移酶(HAT)。虽然Tra1、core和DUB模块的结构已经确定,但HAT模块的整体架构由于其固有的灵活性仍然难以捉摸。为了解决这个问题,我们对从嗜热真菌毛毛菌中纯化的SAGA进行了低温电镜(cro - em)分析,得到了Tra1和核心模块2.6 Å的结构,以及四个HAT亚基中的三个3.7 Å的结构。HAT模块的结构提供了组蛋白乙酰化和HAT核心模块接口方面的信息,这与AlphaFold早期的预测相矛盾。我们的结构导向遗传和生化分析证实了Ada1和Spt7在将HAT模块锚定在SAGA复合体中的作用。

The complex consists of four modules: transcription-associated protein 1 (Tra1), core, deubiquitination (DUB), and histone acetyltransferase (HAT). Although the structures of the Tra1, core, and DUB modules have been determined, the overall architecture of the HAT module remained elusive due to its inherent flexibility. To address this, we conducted cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analyses on SAGA purified from the thermophilic fungus <em>Chaetomium thermophilum</em>, yielding structures of Tra1 and core modules at 2.6 Å and three of the four HAT subunits at 3.7 Å.
