Ultra high-throughput whole-genome methylation sequencing reveals trajectories in precancerous polyps to early colorectal adenocarcinoma

Aberrant shifts in DNA methylation have long been regarded as an early marker for cancer onset and progression. To chart DNA methylation changes that occur during the transformation from normal healthy colon tissue to malignant colorectal cancer (CRC), we collected over 50 samples from 15 familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and non-FAP colorectal cancer patients, and generated 30-70x whole-genome methylation sequencing (WGMS) runs via the novel Ultima Genomics ultra high-throughput sequencing platform. We observed changes in DNA methylation that occur early in the malignant transformation process, in gene promoters and in distal regulatory elements. Among these changes are events of hyper-methylation which are associated with a bivalent "poised" chromatin state at promoters and are CRC-specific. Distal enhancers show nonlinear dynamics, lose methylation in the progression from normal mucosa to dysplastic polyps but regain methylation in the adenocarcinoma state. Enhancers that gain chromatin accessibility in the adenocarcinoma state and are enriched with HOX transcription factor binding sites, a marker of developmental genes. This work demonstrates the feasibility of generating large high quality WGMS data using the Ultima Genomics platform and provides the first detailed view of methylation dynamics during CRC formation and progression in a model case.

Syntaxin1 Ser14 Phosphorylation is Required for Non-Vesicular Dopamine Release

Amphetamine (AMPH), a psychostimulant commonly prescribed for the treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders, has a high liability for abuse. The abuse and psychomotor stimulant properties of AMPH are primarily associated with its ability to increase dopamine (DA) neurotransmission. This increase is mediated, in large part, by non-vesicular DA release (DA efflux). DA efflux is the result of reversal of the DA transporter (DAT) promoted by AMPH. Syntaxin 1 (Stx1) is a SNARE protein that plays a pivotal role in vesicular release. Previously, we have shown that Stx1 also interacts with the distal DAT N-terminus, an event promoted by AMPH. Stx1 is phosphorylated at Ser14 by casein kinase II (CK2). Using Drosophila Melanogaster as an animal model, we show that this phosphorylation event is critical for non-vesicular DA release and regulates the expression of AMPH preference as well as the ability of AMPH to promote mating drive. We also show that reverse transport of DA mediated by DAT underlies these complex behaviors promoted by AMPH. Our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the phosphorylated DAT/Stx1 complex demonstrate that the phosphorylation state of these proteins plays a key role in allowing DAT to dwell in an efflux-willing state. This state also supports constitutive DA efflux (CDE), an event that occurs in the absence of AMPH. The DAT-Stx1 phosphorylated complex is characterized by the breakdown of two key salt bridges in DAT, K66-D345 and E428-R445, which are critical for the formation of the intracellular (IC) gate and for transport function. The breaking of these salt bridges leads to an opening and hydration of the DAT intracellular vestibule, allowing DA to bind from the cytosol, a mechanism that we hypothesize leads to CDE. We further determine the importance of Stx1 phosphorylation in CDE by pharmacologically inhibiting CK2 with CX-4945, a molecule currently in phase II clinical trials for cancer treatment. CX-4945 treatment prevented the expression of CDE in isolated Drosophila Melanogaster brains as well as behaviors associated with CDE. Thus, our results suggest that Stx1 phosphorylation is a possible pharmacological target for the treatment of AMPH abuse.

Deciphering Hierarchical Chromatin Structures and Preference of Genomic Positions in Single Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

The exploration of single-cell 3D genome maps reveals that chromatin domains are indeed physical structures presenting in single cells and domain boundaries vary from cell to cell. However, exhaustive analysis of regulatory factor binding or elements for preference of the formation of chromatin domains in single cells has not yet emerged. To this end, we first develop a hierarchical chromatin domain structure identification algorithm (named as HiCS) from individual single-cell Hi-C maps, with superior performance in both accuracy and efficiency. The results suggest that in addition to the known CTCF-cohesin complex, Polycomb, TrxG, pluripotent protein families and other multiple factors also contribute to shaping chromatin domain boundaries in single embryonic stem cells. Different cooperation patterns of regulatory factors decipher the preference of genomic position categories forming boundaries. And the most extensive six types of retrotransposons differentially distributed in these genomic position categories with preferential localization.

A common mechanism of temperature-sensing in thermoTRP channels

Detecting temperature is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Though the thermo transient receptor potential (thermoTRP) channels, such as TRPV1 or TRPM8, have been identified as prototypic heat or cold sensors, respectively, how they detect temperature remains elusive. Here we first identified groups of clustered residues in these channels that undergo burial/exposure conformational rearrangements during temperature activation by analyzing available protein structures or hydroxyl radical footprinting-mass spectroscopy (HRF-MS). By systematically perturbing water-protein interactions at these residues, we found that the temperature sensitivity in these channels were modulated in accordance with the sidechain hydrophobicity. The changes in energy associated with changes in water-protein interactions were sufficient for thermo activation. Therefore, our study has established that the water-protein interactions as a common mechanism underlying temperature sensing in TRPM8 and TRPV1.

Parallel measurement of transcriptomes and proteomes from same single cells using nanodroplet splitting

Single-cell multiomics provides comprehensive insights into gene regulatory networks, cellular diversity, and temporal dynamics. Here, we introduce nanoSPLITS (nanodroplet SPlitting for Linked-multimodal Investigations of Trace Samples), an integrated platform that enables global profiling of the transcriptome and proteome from same single cells using RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry-based proteomics, respectively. Benchmarking of nanoSPLITS demonstrated excellent measurement precision, with deep proteomic and transcriptomic profiling of single-cells. We applied nanoSPLITS to cyclin-dependent kinase 1 inhibited cells and found phospho-signaling events could be quantified alongside global protein and mRNA measurements, providing new insights into cell cycle regulation. We also extended nanoSPLITS to single-cells isolated from human pancreatic islets, introducing an efficient approach for facile identification of unknown cell types, and detecting their protein markers by mapping transcriptomic data to existing large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing reference databases. Herein, we establish nanoSPLITS as a new multiomic technology incorporating global proteomics and anticipate the approach will be critical to furthering our understanding of single-cell systems.

A Bispecific Antibody Targeting RBD and S2 Potently Neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Other Variants of Concern

Emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, especially the Omicron variant, have impaired the efficacy of existing vaccines and most therapeutic antibodies, highlighting the need for additional antibody-based tools that can efficiently neutralize emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. The use of a "single" agent to simultaneously target multiple distinct epitopes on the spike is desirable to overcome the neutralizing escape of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Herein, we generated a human-derived IgG-like bispecific antibody (bsAb), Bi-Nab35B5-47D10, which successfully retained the specificity and simultaneously bound to the two distinct epitopes on RBD and S2. Bi-Nab35B5-47D10 showed improved spike binding breadth among wild-type (WT) SARS-CoV-2, variants of concern (VOCs) and variants being monitored (VBMs) compared with its parental mAbs. Furthermore, pseudotyped virus neutralization demonstrated that Bi-Nab35B5-47D10 can efficiently neutralize VBMs including Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351) and Kappa (B.1.617.1) and VOCs including Delta (B.1.617.2), Omicron BA.1 and Omicron BA.2. Crucially, Bi-Nab35B5-47D10 substantially improved neutralizing activity against Omicron BA.1 (IC50= 27.3 ng/mL) and Omicron BA.2 (IC50= 121.1 ng/mL) compared with their parental mAbs. Therefore, Bi-Nab35B5-47D10 represents a potential effective countermeasure against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and other variants of concern. ImportanceThe new highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant caused substantial breakthrough infections and has become the dominant strain in countries across the world. Omicron variants usually bear high mutations in the spike protein and exhibit considerable escape of most potent neutralization monoclonal antibodies and reduced efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines. The development of neutralizing antibodies with potent efficacy against the Omicron variant is still an urgent priority. Here, we generated a bsAb, Bi-Nab35B5-47D10, that simultaneously targets SARS-CoV-2 RBD and S2 and improved neutralizing potency and breadth against SARS-CoV-2 WT and the tested variants compared with their parental antibodies. Notably, Bi-Nab35B5-47D10 has more potent neutralizing activity against the VOC Omicron pseudotyped virus. Therefore, Bi-Nab35B5-47D10 is a feasible and potentially effective strategy to treat and prevent COVID-19.

Contrast-polarity specific mapping optimizes neuronal computation for collision detection

Neurons receive information through their synaptic inputs, but the functional significance of how those inputs are mapped on to a cells dendrites remains unclear. We studied this question in a grasshopper visual neuron that tracks approaching objects and triggers escape behavior before an impending collision. In response to black approaching objects, the neuron receives OFF excitatory inputs that form a retinotopic map of the visual field onto compartmentalized, distal dendrites. Subsequent processing of these OFF inputs by active membrane conductances allows the neuron to discriminate the spatial coherence of such stimuli. In contrast, we show that ON excitatory synaptic inputs activated by white approaching objects map in a random manner onto a more proximal dendritic field of the same neuron. This random synaptic arrangement results in the neurons inability to discriminate the coherence of white approaching stimuli. Yet, the neuron retains the ability to discriminate stimulus coherence for checkered stimuli of mixed ON/OFF polarity. The coarser mapping and processing of ON stimuli thus has a minimal impact, while reducing the total energetic cost of the circuit. Further, we show that these differences in ON/OFF neuronal processing are behaviorally relevant, being tightly correlated with the animals escape behavior to light and dark stimuli of variable coherence. Our results show that the synaptic mapping of excitatory inputs affects the fine stimulus discrimination ability of single neurons and document the resulting functional impact on behavior.

Cardiac patch treatment alleviates ischemic cardiomyopathy correlated with reverting Piezo1/2 expression by unloading left ventricular myocardium

Pathologically elevated mechanical load promotes the adverse remodeling of left ventricle (LV) post myocardial infarction, which results in the progression from ischemic cardiomyopathy to heart failure. Cardiac patches could attenuate adverse LV remodeling by providing mechanical support to infarcted myocardium and border zone tissue. However, the mechanism of the translation from mechanical effects to favorable therapeutic outcome is still not clear. By transcriptome analysis, we found that the myocardial transcription levels of mechanosensitive ion channel proteins Piezo1 and Piezo2 significantly increased in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. In vitro tensile tests with local tissue information revealed a significant decrease in local strain and mechanical load in rat infarct. Cardiac function and geometry were preserved compared to non-treated control. Further, in LV myocardium of the patch-treated group, MI induced expression levels of Piezo1/2 were significantly reverted to the similar levels of the Sham group, indicating that cardiac patch beneficial effects were correlated with suppressing mechanosensitive genes, particularly Piezo1/2. These findings demonstrated the potential of cardiac patches in treating ICM patients with remodeling risks, and could provide guidance for improvement in next generation of patch devices.

Specific binding of Hsp27 and phosphorylated Tau mitigates abnormal Tau aggregation-induced pathology

Amyloid aggregation of phosphorylated Tau (pTau) into neurofibrillary tangles is closely associated with Alzheimers disease (AD). Several molecular chaperones have been reported to bind Tau and impede its pathological aggregation. Recent findings of elevated levels of Hsp27 in the brains of patients with AD suggested its important role in pTau pathology. However, the molecular mechanism of Hsp27 in pTau aggregation remains poorly understood. Here, we show that Hsp27 partially co-localizes with pTau tangles in the brains of patients with AD. Notably, phosphorylation of Tau by microtubule affinity regulating kinase 2 (MARK2), dramatically enhances the binding affinity of Hsp27 to Tau. Moreover, Hsp27 efficiently prevents pTau fibrillation in vitro and mitigates neuropathology of pTau aggregation in a Drosophila tauopathy model. Further mechanistic study reveals that Hsp27 employs its N-terminal domain to directly interact with multiple phosphorylation sites of pTau for specific binding. Our work provides the structural basis for the specific recognition of Hsp27 to pathogenic pTau, and highlights the important role of Hsp27 in preventing abnormal aggregation and pathology of pTau in AD.

Cross-link assisted spatial proteomics to map sub-organelle proteomes and membrane protein topology

The specific functions of cellular organelles and sub-compartments depend on their protein content, which can be characterized by spatial proteomics approaches. However, many spatial proteomics methods are limited in their ability to resolve organellar sub-compartments, profile multiple sub-compartments in parallel, and/or characterize membrane-associated proteomes. Here, we develop a cross-link assisted spatial proteomics (CLASP) strategy that addresses these shortcomings. Using human mitochondria as a model system, we show that CLASP can elucidate spatial proteomes of all mitochondrial sub-compartments and provide topological insight into the mitochondrial membrane proteome in a single experiment. Biochemical and imaging-based follow-up studies demonstrate that CLASP allows discovering mitochondria-associated proteins and revising previous protein sub-compartment localization and membrane topology data. This study extends the scope of cross-linking mass spectrometry beyond protein structure and interaction analysis towards spatial proteomics, establishes a method for concomitant profiling of sub-organelle and membrane proteomes, and provides a resource for mitochondrial spatial biology.

Mechanical communication-induced cell directional migration and branching connections mediated by calcium channels, integrin β1 and N-cadherin

Cell-cell mechanical communications at large spatial scale (above hundreds of micrometers) have been increasingly recognized in recent decade, which shows importance in tissue-level assembly and morphodynamics. The involved mechanosensing mechanism and resulted physiological functions are still to be fully understood. Recent work showed that traction force sensation in the matrix induces cell communications for self-assembly. Here, based on the experimental model of cell directional migration on Matrigel hydrogel containing 0.5 mg/ml type I collagen, we studied the mechano-responsive pathways for cell distant communications. Airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells assembled network structure on the hydrogel, whereas stayed isolated individually when cultured on glass without force transmission. Cell directional migration, or network assembly was significantly attenuated by inhibited actomyosin activity, or inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) calcium channel or SERCA pump on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, or L-type calcium channel on the plasma membrane. Inhibition of integrin {beta}1 with siRNA knockdown reduced cell directional migration and branching assembly, whereas inhibition of cell junctional N-cadherin with siRNA had little effect on distant attractions but blocked branching assembly. Our work demonstrated that the ER calcium channels and integrin are mechanosensing signals for cell mechanical communications regulated by actomyosin activity, while N-cadherin is responsible for traction force-induced cell stable connections in the assembly.

Evolutionary history of metazoan TMEM16 family

Transmembrane protein 16 (TMEM16) functions as either a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel (CaCC) or phospholipid scramblase (CaPLSase) and plays diverse physiological roles. It is well conserved in eukaryotes; however, the origin and evolution of different subfamilies in Metazoa are not yet understood. To uncover the evolutionary history of the TMEM16 family, we analyzed 412 proteins from 74 invertebrate species using evolutionary genomics. We found that the TMEM16C-F and J subfamilies are vertebrate-specific, but the TMEM16A/B, G, H, and K subfamilies are ancient and present in many, but not all metazoan species. The most ancient subfamilies in Metazoa, TMEM16L and M, are only maintained in limited species. TMEM16N and O are Cnidaria- and Ecdysozoa-specific subfamilies, respectively, and Ctenophora, Xenacoelomorpha, and Rotifera contain species-specific proteins. We also identified TMEM16 genes that are closely linked together in the genome, suggesting that they have been generated via recent gene duplication. The anoctamin domain structures of invertebrate-specific TMEM16 proteins predicted by AlphaFold2 contain conserved Ca2+-binding motifs and permeation pathways with either narrow or wide inner gates. The inner gate distance of TMEM16 protein may have frequently switched during metazoan evolution, and thus determined the function of the protein as either CaCC or CaPLSase. These results demonstrate that TMEM16 family has evolved by gene gain and loss in metazoans, and the genes have been generally under purifying selection to maintain protein structures and physiological functions.

BIN2 phosphorylates the Thr280 of CO to restrict its function in promoting Arabidopsis flowering

CONSTANS (CO) is a central regulator of floral initiation in response to photoperiod. In this study, we show that the GSK3 kinase BIN2 physically interacts with CO and the gain-of-function mutant bin2-1 displays late flowering phenotype through down-regulation of FT transcription. Genetic analyses show that BIN2 genetically acts upstream of CO in regulating flowering time. Further, we illustrate that BIN2 phosphorylates the Thr280 residue of CO. Importantly, the BIN2 phosphorylation of Thr280 residue restricts the function of CO in promoting flowering. Moreover, we reveal that the N-terminal part of CO harboring the B-Box domain mediates the interaction of both CO-CO and BIN2-CO. We find that BIN2 inhibits the formation of CO dimer/oligomer. Taken together, this study reveals that BIN2 regulates flowering time through phosphorylating the Thr280 of CO and inhibiting the CO-CO interaction in Arabidopsis. HighlightBIN2 regulates flowering time through phosphorylating the Thr280 of CO in Arabidopsis.

Self-avoidance alone does not explain the function of Dscam1 in mushroom body axonal wiring

Alternative splicing of Drosophila Dscam1 into 38,016 isoforms provides neurons with a unique molecular code for self-recognition and self-avoidance. A canonical model suggests that homophilic binding of identical Dscam1 isoforms on sister branches of mushroom body (MB) axons supports segregation with high fidelity, even when only a single isoform is expressed. Here we generated a series of mutant flies with a single exon 4, 6, or 9 variant, encoding 1,584, 396, or 576 potential isoforms, respectively. Surprisingly, most of the mutants in the latter two groups exhibited obvious defects in the growth, branching, and segregation of MB axonal sister branches. This demonstrates that repertoires of 396 and 576 Dscam1 isoforms were not sufficient for normal patterning of axonal branches. Moreover, reducing Dscam1 levels largely reversed the defects caused by reduced isoform diversity, suggesting a functional link between Dscam1 expression levels and isoform diversity. Taken together, these results indicate that canonical self-avoidance alone does not explain the function of Dscam1 in MB axonal wiring.

Cis mutagenesis in vivo reveals extensive noncanonical functions of Dscam1 isoforms in neuronal wiring

Drosophila Dscam1 encodes ten thousand of cell recognition molecules via alternative splicing, which is required for nervous function. However, the underlying mechanism has not fully understood. Here we revealed extensive noncanonical functions of Dscam1 isoform diversity in neuronal wiring. We generated a series of allelic cis mutations in Dscam1, encoding normal number of isoforms albeit with altered isoform composition. Despite normal dendritic self-avoidance and self/non-self discrimination in da neurons, which is consistent with canonical self-avoidance model, these mutants exhibited strikingly distinct spectra of phenotypic defects in three classes of neurons: up to [~]60% defects in mushroom bodies, a significantly increased branching and growth in da neurons, and mild axonal branching defects in mechanosensory neurons. These data suggest that proper Dscam1 isoform composition is required for axon and dendrite growth in diverse neurons. This unprecedented splicing-tuned regulation unlocks new insights into the molecular mechanisms that Dscam1 isoform diversity is engaged in.

A streamlined tandem tip-based workflow for sensitive nanoscale phosphoproteomics

Effective phosphoproteome of nanoscale sample analysis remains a daunting task, primarily due to significant sample loss associated with non-specific surface adsorption during enrichment of low stoichiometric phosphopeptide. We developed a novel tandem tip phosphoproteomics sample preparation method that is capable of sample cleanup and enrichment without additional sample transfer, and its integration with our recently developed SOP (Surfactant-assisted One-Pot sample preparation) and iBASIL (improved Boosting to Amplify Signal with Isobaric Labeling) approaches provides a streamlined workflow enabling sensitive, high-throughput nanoscale phosphoproteome measurements. This approach significantly reduces both sample loss and processing time, allowing the identification of >3,000 (>9,500) phosphopeptides from 1 (10) {micro}g of cell lysate using the label-free method without a spectral library. It also enabled precise quantification of [~]600 phosphopeptides from 100 cells sorted by FACS (single-cell level input for the enriched phosphopeptides) and [~]700 phosphopeptides from human spleen tissue voxels with a spatial resolution of 200 {micro}m (equivalent to [~]100 cells) in a high-throughput manner. The new workflow opens avenues for phosphoproteome profiling of mass-limited samples at the low nanogram level.

A recombinant murine rotavirus with Nano-Luciferase expression reveals tissue tropism, replication dynamics, and virus transmission

Rotaviruses (RVs) are one of the main causes of severe gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and death in children and young animals. Although suckling mice prove to be highly useful small animal models of RV infection and pathogenesis, direct visualization tools are lacking to track the temporal dynamics of RV replication and transmissibility in vivo. Here, we report the generation of the first recombinant murine RV that encodes a Nano-Luciferase reporter (NLuc) using a newly optimized RV reverse genetics system. The NLuc-expressing RV was replication-competent in cell culture and both infectious and virulent in neonatal mice in vivo. Strong luciferase signals were detected in the proximal and distal small intestines, colon, and mesenteric lymph nodes. We showed, via a noninvasive in vivo imaging system, that RV intestinal replication peaked at day 2 and day 5 post infection. Moreover, we successfully tracked RV transmission to uninoculated littermates as early as 3 days post infection, 1 day prior to clinically apparent diarrhea and 3 days prior to detectable fecal RV shedding in the uninoculated littermates. We also observed significantly increased viral replication in Stat1 knockout mice that lack the host interferon signaling. Our results suggest that the NLuc RV represents a non-lethal powerful tool for the studies of tissue tropism and host and viral factors that regulate RV replication and spread, as providing a new mechanism to facilitate the testing of prophylactic and therapeutic interventions in the future.

Manipulating the 3D organization of the largest synthetic yeast chromosome

Whether synthetic genomes can power life has attracted broad interest in the synthetic biology field, especially when the synthetic genomes are extensively modified with thousands of designer features. Here we report de novo synthesis of the largest eukaryotic chromosome thus far, synIV, a 1,454,621-bp Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome resulting from extensive genome streamlining and modification. During the construction of synIV, we developed megachunk assembly combined with a hierarchical integration strategy, which significantly increased the accuracy and flexibility of synthetic chromosome construction and facilitated chromosome debugging. In addition to the drastic sequence changes made to synIV by rewriting it, we further manipulated the three-dimensional structure of synIV in the yeast nucleus to explore spatial gene regulation within the nuclear space. Surprisingly, we found few gene expression changes, suggesting that positioning inside the yeast nucleoplasm plays a minor role in gene regulation. Lastly, we tethered synIV to the inner nuclear membrane via its hundreds of loxPsym sites and observed transcriptional repression of the entire chromosome, demonstrating chromosome-wide transcription manipulation without changing the DNA sequences. Our manipulation of the spatial structure of the largest synthetic yeast chromosome shed light on higher-order architectural design of the synthetic genomes.
