Chemical tools to define and manipulate interferon-inducible Ubl protease USP18

Ubiquitin-specific protease 18 (USP18) is a multifunctional cysteine protease primarily responsible for deconjugating interferon-inducible ubiquitin-like (Ubl) modifier ISG15 from protein substrates. Here, we report the design and synthesis of activity-based probes (ABPs) capable of selectively detecting USP18 activity over other ISG15 cross-reactive deubiquitinases (DUBs) by incorporating unnatural amino acids into the C-terminal tail of ISG15. Combining with a ubiquitin-based DUB ABP, the selective USP18 ABP is employed in a chemoproteomic screening platform to identify and assess inhibitors of DUBs including USP18. We further demonstrate that USP18 ABPs can be utilized to profile differential activities of USP18 in lung cancer cell lines, providing a strategy that will help define the activity-related landscape of USP18 in different disease states and unravel important (de)ISGylation-dependent biological processes.

Optineurin-facilitated axonal mitochondria delivery promotes neuroprotection and axon regeneration

Optineurin (OPTN) mutations are linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG), but a relevant animal model is lacking, and the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration are unknown. We found that OPTN C-terminus truncation (OPTN{Delta}C) causes late-onset neurodegeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), optic nerve (ON), and spinal cord motor neurons, preceded by a striking decrease of axonal mitochondria. Surprisingly, we discover that OPTN directly interacts with both microtubules and the mitochondrial transport complex TRAK1/KIF5B, stabilizing them for proper anterograde axonal mitochondrial transport, in a C- terminus dependent manner. Encouragingly, overexpressing OPTN/TRAK1/KIF5B reverses not only OPTN truncation-induced, but also ocular hypertension-induced neurodegeneration, and promotes striking ON regeneration. Therefore, in addition to generating new animal models for NTG and ALS, our results establish OPTN as a novel facilitator of the microtubule-dependent mitochondrial transport necessary for adequate axonal mitochondria delivery, and its loss as the likely molecular mechanism of neurodegeneration.

Mutation of GmDMP genes triggers haploid induction in soybean

The development of homozygous lines is a key step in plant breeding and production. Generally, homozygous lines can be obtained through traditional time-consuming way of several generations selfing or through a way of doubled haploid (DH) technology, which has obvious advantages to accelerate breeding. However, no effective haploid production system so far has been established in soybean. Here we show that mutations of the soybean GmDMP1 and GmDMP2 genes can be used to induce haploid with an average haploid induction rate of 0.61%. We also found that 22.9% of soybean haploids can produce seeds through spontaneous chromosome doubling. Those findings laid a solid foundation for establishing DH technology in soybean, which will accelerate soybean breeding.

Neurodevelopmentally rooted epicenters in schizophrenia: sensorimotor-association spatial axis of cortical thickness alterations

Pathologic perturbations in schizophrenia have been suggested to propagate via the functional and structural connectome across the lifespan. Yet how the connectome guides early cortical reorganization of developing schizophrenia remains unknown. Here, we used early-onset schizophrenia (EOS) as a neurodevelopmental disease model to investigate putative early pathologic origins that propagate through the functional and structural connectome. We compared 95 patients with antipsychotic-naive first-episode EOS and 99 typically developing controls (7-17 years of age, 120 females). Whereas patients showed widespread cortical thickness reductions, thickness increases were observed in primary cortical areas. Using normative connectomics models, we found that epicenters of thickness reductions were situated in association regions linked to language, affective, and cognitive functions, while epicenters of increased thickness in EOS were located in sensorimotor regions subserving visual, somatosensory, and motor functions. Using post-mortem transcriptomic data of six donors, we observed that the epicenter map differentiated oligodendrocyte-related transcriptional changes at its sensory apex and the association end was related to expression of excitatory/inhibitory neurons. More generally, we observed that the epicenter map was associated with neurodevelopmental disease gene dysregulation and human accelerated region genes, suggesting potential shared genetic determinants across various neurodevelopmental disorders. Taken together, our results underscore the developmentally rooted pathologic origins of schizophrenia and their transcriptomic overlap with other neurodevelopmental diseases.

Gene editing of CD3 epsilon gene to redirect regulatory T cells for adoptive T cell transfer

I.Adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a promising strategy to combat immunopathologies in transplantation and autoimmune diseases. Antigen-specific Tregs are more effective in modulating undesired immune reactions, but their low frequency in peripheral blood poses challenges for manufacturing and their clinical application. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have been used to redirect the specificity of Tregs, employing retroviral vectors. However, retroviral gene transfer is costly, time consuming, and raises safety issues. Here, we explored non-viral gene editing to redirect Tregs with CARs, using HLA-A2-specific constructs for proof-of-concept studies in transplantation models. We introduce a virus-free CRISPR-Cas12a approach to integrate an antigen-binding domain into the CD3 epsilon (CD3{varepsilon}) gene, generating Tregs expressing a T cell receptor fusion construct (TruC). These CD3{varepsilon}-TruC Tregs exhibit potent antigen-dependent activation while maintaining responsiveness to TCR/CD3 stimulation. This enables preferential enrichment of TruC-redirected Tregs via repetitive CD3/CD28-stimulation in a GMP-compatible expansion system. Non-viral gene edited CD3{varepsilon}-TruC Tregs retained their phenotypic, epigenetic, and functional identity. In a humanized mouse model, HLA-A2-specific CD3{varepsilon}-TruC Tregs demonstrate superior protection of allogeneic HLA-A2+ skin grafts from rejection compared to polyclonal Tregs. This approach provides a pathway for developing clinical-grade CD3{varepsilon}-TruC-based Treg cell products for transplantation immunotherapy and other immunopathologies.

Structures of transcription-translation coupling complexes at each stage of the translation cycle

In the bacterium Escherichia coli, efficient expression of protein-coding genes is achieved through physical coupling of RNA polymerase (RNAP) synthesizing an mRNA and the first ribosome translating the mRNA, with transcription elongation factors NusG and NusA bridging RNAP and ribosome in a transcription-translation complex (TTC). Recent structural studies suggest that the flexibility in NusG and NusA accommodates the changes in ribosome conformation that occur during the translation cycle, but details have been unclear. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of TTCs at each stage of the translation cycle as an actively translating ribosome approaches to a halted transcription complex. We observe sequential conversion of a loosely coupled TTC (TTC-LC) to a tightly coupled TTC (TTC-B) to a collided TTC (TTC-A) as the ribosome approaches the transcription complex. We show that flexibility of the NusG linker and NusA "pantograph" enable TTC-LC and TTC-B to accommodate ribosome conformation at each stage of the translation cycle. We show that, in TTC-A, steric clash between ribosome and RNAP upon ribosome 30S head swiveling inhibits 30S head swiveling, consistent with translation slowdown, and applies mechanical force to the trailing edge of RNAP, causing transcription termination. Our results define the structures and properties of loosely coupled, tightly coupled, and collided TTCs at each stage of the translation cycle.

CLCluster: a redundancy-reduction contrastive learning-based clustering method of cancer subtype based on multi-omics data

Alternative splicing (AS) enables the regulated generation of multiple mRNA and protein products from a single gene. Cancer cells have general, cancer type-specific, and subtype-specific alterations in the splicing process that can have predictive value and contribute to cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Currently, multi-omics data have been used to identify the molecular subtype of cancer. However, alternative splicing is rarely used to identify the cancer subtypes. Here, we propose a redundancy-reduction contrastive learning-based method (CLCluster) based on copy number variation, DNA methylation, gene expression, miRNA expression, and alternative splicing for cancer subtype clustering of 33 cancer types. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed CLCluster model in identifying cancer subtypes over the currently available state-of-the-art clustering methods. Moreover, ablation experiments demonstrate the advantages of alternative splicing data for cancer subtyping tasks. We performed multiple analyses for cancer subtype-related AS events, including open reading frame annotation, and RNA binding protein-associated alternative splicing regulation. From our analysis, we identified 2,930 AS events that were associated with patient survival, and ORF analysis showed that 417 of them could cause in-frame and 420 could cause frameshift. we also identified 1,752 RBP-AS regulatory pairs that could be associated with patient survival. Accurate classification of the cancer type using CLCluster, and effective annotation of cancer subtype related AS events can effectively facilitate the identification of patients therapeutically targetable AS events.

Cas1 mediates the interference stage in a phage-encoded CRISPR-Cas system

CRISPR-Cas systems are prokaryotic adaptive immune systems against invading phages and other mobile genetic elements, which function in three stages: adaptation, expression and interference. Interestingly, phages were also found to encode CRISPR-Cas systems to antagonize their hosts and establish infection. The Vibrio cholerae-infecting ICP1 phage was the first discovered phage with a functional CRISPR-Cas system against an antiphage region in the host genome. Nevertheless, this system lacks a domain essential for recruitment of helicase-nuclease Cas2/3 during target DNA cleavage, and how this system accomplishes the interference stage remains unknown. Here, surprisingly, we found that Cas1, a highly conserved component known to exclusively work in the adaptation stage, also mediates the interference stage through connecting Cas2/3 to the DNA bound-Cascade (Csy) complex of the ICP1 CRISPR-Cas system. A series of structures of Csy, Csy-dsDNA, Cas1-Cas2/3 and Csy-dsDNA-Cas1-Cas2/3 complexes collectively reveal the whole process of Cas1-mediated target DNA cleavage by the ICP1 CRISPR-Cas system. Together, these data support an unprecedented model in which Cas1 mediates the interference stage in a phage-encoded CRISPR-Cas system and also shed light on a unique model of primed adaptation.

Changes of urine proteome after intragastric administration of polysaccharide iron complex in rats

Iron is an essential trace element to maintain the normal physiological function of organisms. In this study, the urine proteome of rats before and after short-term intragastric administration of polysaccharide-iron complex (28mg/kg/d iron, which is equivalent to the dose of anemia prevention in adults) was compared and analyzed by using two analysis methods: individual comparison and group comparison. Many different proteins were reported to be related to iron, including 2, 3 -cyclic nucleotide 3 -phosphodiesterase (CNPase) (7.7 times higher than that after gavage, p=0.0039), p38 (14.5 times higher than that before gavage, p=0.003), etc. In the individual comparison, Hepcidin was up-regulated in 4 rats simultaneously. The biological processes of differential protein enrichment include carbohydrate metabolism, iron ion reaction, apoptosis regulation, hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation, etc. Molecular functions (e.g., complement binding, hemoglobin binding, etc.), KEGG pathways (e.g., complement and coagulation cascade, cholesterol metabolism, malaria, etc.) have also been shown to be associated with iron. This study contributes to the in-depth understanding of the biological function of iron from the perspective of urine proteomics, and provides a new research perspective for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of iron-related disorders.

Changes of urinary proteome in rats after intragastric administration of calcium gluconate

AbtractCalcium is an essential element for maintaining the normal physiological function of organisms. In this study, 3225 mg/kg/d calcium gluconate (equivalent to 300 mg/kg/d calcium) was intragastrically administered to rats for 4 days, and the urine proteome of rats was analyzed. Many differential proteins have been reported to be calcium related, such as Regucalcin (2.6 times higher after gavage than before gavage, p = 0.022), transmembrane protein 132A (8.2 times higher after gavage than before gavage, p = 0.009), creatine kinase (17.5 times higher before gavage than after gavage, p = 0.006), and claudin-3 (13.3 times higher before gavage than after gavage, p = 0.037). Differential protein enriched KEGG pathways included calcium signaling pathways, and biological processes and molecular functions also showed correlation with calcium. In this study, from the perspective of urine proteomics to explore the overall impact of calcium on the body, it is helpful to deeply understand the biological function of calcium and broaden the application potential of urine proteomics.

Protocatechuic acid induces endogenous oxidative stress in CR-hvKP by regulating the EMP-PPP pathway

BackgroundKlebsiella pneumoniae is an important opportunistic pathogen and zoonotic pathogen. The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of a large number of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in clinical animal husbandry, posing a serious threat to global health security. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a phenolic acid substance naturally present in many vegetables and fruits. It is a safe and highly developed new type of antibacterial synergist. PurposeThis study explored the antibacterial and synergistic mechanisms of PCA against Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. Study designMetabolomic analysis using PCA to investigate the metabolic effects of CR-hvKP and further explore the antibacterial mechanisms resulting from this metabolic regulation. MethodsThe MIC of PCA was measured by microdilution, and its bactericidal effect was observed by DAPI staining. Resistance and hemolysis tests were performed to ensure safety. The synergy of PCA and meropenem was tested by checkerboard assay. The biofilm inhibition was assessed by crystal violet and EPS assays. The membrane morphology, permeability, and potential were examined by SEM, PI, NPN, and DiSC3(5). The metabolic changes were evaluated by AlamarBlue, metabolomics, enzyme activity, ELISA, molecular docking, and qRT-PCR. The oxidative stress and metabolic disorders were verified by NADP(H), ROS, MDA, and ATP assays. ResultsThe results showed that PCA can synergize with antibiotics and inhibit the biofilm and membrane functions of CR-hvKP at low concentrations. Metabolomics revealed that PCA affects the EMP and PPP pathways of CR-hvKP, causing oxidative stress. This involves the binding of PGAM and the downregulation of BPGM, leading to the accumulation of glycerate-3P. This results in the inhibition of G6PDH and the imbalance of NADPH/NADP+, disrupting the energy metabolism and increasing the oxidative stress, which impair the biofilm and membrane functions and enhance the antibiotic efficacy. ConclusionThe results demonstrate that PCA regulates the EMP-linked PPP pathway of CR-hvKP, inhibits biofilm and membrane functions, and synergizes with antibiotics to kill bacteria, providing new insights and candidates for natural antibacterial enhancers. Author SummaryKlebsiella pneumoniae is a common pathogenic bacterium that can infect both humans and animals, causing serious diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. Due to the overuse of antibiotics, this bacterium has developed resistance to many drugs, posing a significant threat to global health security. Through our research, we have discovered a natural substance called protocatechuic acid (PCA) that can enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics against this bacterium. PCA is found in many vegetables and fruits and is a safe and non-toxic antibacterial adjuvant. Our analysis of the metabolomics of PCA on Klebsiella pneumoniae has revealed its antibacterial and synergistic mechanisms. The study found that PCA can affect the bacteriums sugar metabolism pathway, leading to the generation of endogenous oxidative stress. This disrupts their energy metabolism, damages their cell membranes and biofilms, making them more susceptible to being killed by antibiotics. Through this mechanism, PCA can synergize with common antibiotics such as meropenem, enhancing their bactericidal ability. Our research has demonstrated that PCA is an effective antibacterial adjuvant, providing new candidates and insights for the development of natural antibacterial agents.

Changes of urinary proteome in rats after intragastric administration of zinc gluconate

Zinc is an essential element for maintaining normal physiological function in living organisms. In this study, the urine proteome of rats before and after short-term intragastric administration of 82 mg/kg/d zinc gluconate (equivalent to 11.7 mg/kg/d zinc) was compared and analyzed. Many differential proteins have been reported to be zinc-related, such as mucin-2 (MUC-2) (14 times before compared with after gavage, p = 0.005) and transthyretin (3.9 times after gavage compared with before gavage, p = 0.0004). Biological processes enriched in differential proteins (e.g., regulation of apoptosis process, immune system process, etc.), molecular functions (e.g., calcium binding, copper binding, signaling receptor activity, etc.), KEGG pathways (e.g., complement and coagulation cascades, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, etc.) showed correlation with zinc. In this study, we explore the overall effect of zinc on the body from the perspective of urine proteomics, which is helpful to deeply understand the biological function of zinc and broaden the application potential of urine proteomics.

Proteomic Analysis of Urine from Youths Indulging in Gaming

Video game addiction manifests as an escalating enthusiasm and uncontrolled use of digital games, yet there are no objective indicators for gaming addiction. This study employed mass spectrometry proteomics to analyze the proteomic differences in the urine of adolescents addicted to gaming compared to those who do not play video games. The study included 10 adolescents addicted to gaming and 9 non-gaming adolescents as a control group. The results showed that there were 125 significantly different proteins between the two groups. Among these, 11 proteins have been reported to change in the body after the intake of psychotropic drugs and are associated with addiction: Calmodulin, ATP synthase subunit alpha, ATP synthase subunit beta, Acid ceramidase, Tomoregulin-2, Calcitonin, Apolipoprotein E, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Heat shock protein beta-1, CD63 antigen, Ephrin type-B receptor 4, Tomoregulin-2. Additionally, several proteins were found to interact with pathways related to addiction: Dickkopf-related protein 3, Nicastrin, Leucine-rich repeat neuronal protein 4, Cerebellin-4. Enriched biological pathways discovered include those related to nitric oxide synthase, amphetamine addiction, and numerous calcium ion pathways, all of which are associated with addiction. Moreover, through the analysis of differentially expressed proteins, we speculated about some proteins not yet fully studied, which might play a significant role in the mechanisms of addiction: Protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons protein, Cysteine-rich motor neuron 1 protein, Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-2, Immunoglobulin superfamily member 8. In the analysis of urinary proteins in adolescents addicted to online gaming, we identified several proteins that have previously been reported in studies of drug addiction.

Antimicrobial resistance, virulence genes profiles and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs), virulence genes, and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains isolated from giant pandas. The screening of 178 nonduplicated Klebsiella pneumoniae strains identified eight CRKP strains, with the most abundant ARGs observed in ampC/blaDHA, blaSHV-01, blaSHV-02, tetB-01, tetB-02, tetC-01, and tetC-02. MGE analysis revealed the presence of intI1 in all strains, while other MGEs exhibited varying detection rates. Strain 24 exhibited the highest diversity in terms of MGE species. Seven virulence genes including wabG, uge, ycf, entB, kpn, alls, and wcaG, showed positive results with different proportions across the strains. Molecular epidemiology analysis using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns indicated a high level of genetic diversity among the CRKP strains. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) analysis classified the strains into different sequence types (STs). In conclusion, this study highlighted the diverse nature of CRKP strains found in giant pandas, which exhibited varying levels of antibiotic resistance along with multiple ARGs and virulence genes present. These findings emphasized the importance of monitoring and researching antibiotic resistance within wildlife populations to safeguard the health status of these endangered animals.

Autophagy regulator ATG5 preserves cerebellar function by safeguarding its glycolytic activity

Dysfunctions in autophagy, a highly conserved cellular mechanism responsible for the degradation of intracellular components within lysosomes, often result in neurodegeneration. The neuroprotective effect of autophagy varies across neuronal subtypes, and the mechanisms of selective vulnerability of neurons to autophagy dysfunction are currently unknown. Utilizing a mouse model of ATG5 deficiency in inhibitory neurons and a comprehensive approach, including PET imaging, metabolomics, stable-isotope labeling studies, and live cell imaging, we establish that autophagy contributes to the survival of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) by safeguarding their glycolytic activity. We show that the core autophagy protein ATG5 downregulates the levels of the glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) during brain maturation. Autophagy-deficient PCs exhibit increased glucose uptake, along with elevated levels of glycolytic intermediates and methylglyoxal-modified proteins. We propose lysophosphatidic acid and serine as glycolytic intermediates inducing PC death and demonstrate that deletion of GLUT2 in ATG5-deficient mice mitigates PC neurodegeneration and restores their ataxic gait. Taken together, this study reveals a novel neuroprotective role of autophagy in preventing excessive glycolytic metabolism in the brain.

Transcranial Photobiomodulation on the Left Prefrontal Cortex Enhances Mandarin Chinese L1 and L2 Complex Sentence Processing Performances

This study investigated the causal effect of transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) over the left prefrontal cortex (LPFC) on syntactically complex Mandarin Chinese first language (L1) and second language (L2) sentence processing performances. Two (L1 and L2) groups of participants (thirty per group) were recruited to receive the double-blind, sham-controlled tPBM intervention, followed by the sentence processing, the verbal working memory (WM), and the visual WM tasks. Results revealed a consistent pattern for both groups: (a) tPBM enhanced sentence processing performance but not verbal WM and visual WM performance; (b) Participants with lower sentence processing performances under sham tPBM benefited more from active tPBM. Taken together, the current study substantiated that tPBM enhanced L1 and L2 sentence processing ability directly without verbal WM interference, and would serve as a promising and cost-effective noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) tool for future applications on upregulating the human language faculty. HighlightsO_LIThe first study that applies tPBM to (complex) sentence processing. C_LIO_LItPBM enhances sentence processing performances in both Mandarin L1 & L2 speakers.

Spectrally Resolved Localization Microscopy with Ultrahigh-Throughput

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has become a strong technique in the toolbox of chemists, biologists, physicists, and engineers in recent years for its unique ability to resolve characteristic features quickly and accurately in complex environments at the nanoscopic level. Multicolor super-resolution imaging has seen the greatest advancement among SMLM techniques, drastically improving the differentiation ability of nanostructures beyond the diffraction limit and increasing the resolution with which previously unresolvable structures are studied. However, current multicolor SMLM methodologies present low spatial resolution and throughput and require complex optical systems. Here, we overcome these drawbacks by developing an ultrahigh-throughput SMLM methodology that allows for ultrahigh throughput multicolor imaging at the nanoscopic level using a color glass filter. Our methodology can readily distinguish fluorophores of close spectral emission and achieves sub-10 nm localization and sub-5nm spectral precisions.

Rapid and label-free exosome analysis by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy using silver nanoparticle substrate based on selective laser ablation and melting of silver nanowire

Early diagnostics of breast cancer is crucial to reduce the risk of cancer metastasis and late relapse. Exosome, which contains distinct information of its origin, can be the target object as a liquid biopsy. However, its low sensitivity and inadequate diagnostic tools interfere with the point-of-care testing (POCT) of the exosome. Recently, Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which enables the detection of Raman scattering, has been proved as a promising tool for exosome detection but the fabrication process of SERS probe or substrate is still inefficient and far from large-scale production. This study proposes rapid and label-free detection of breast cancer-derived exosomes by statistical analysis of Raman spectra using silver nanoparticle SERS substrate fabricated by selective laser ablation and melting. Employing silver nanowire and optimizing pulse repetition rate power enable rapid and energy-efficient fabrication of SERS substrate. The functionality including sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, and renewability was evaluated using rhodamine 6G as a probe molecule. Then, the feasibility of POCT was examined by the statistical analysis of Raman spectra of exosomes from malignant breast cancer cells and non-tumorigenic breast epithelial cells. The presented framework is anticipated to be utilized in other biomedical applications, facilitating cost-effective and large-scale production performance.
