Article Title: PKA-mediated phosphorylation of SPG11/spatacsin regulates binding with a subset of 14-3-3 proteins

doi: 10.1101/2020.09.09.289009

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) A protein interaction network of SPG11 illustrating novel protein interactors identified by mass spectrometry in this study (orange edges), literature-derived protein interactors from PINOT and BioPlex 3.0 (blue edges), and an interactor common to both our novel dataset and literature-derived data (green edge). The edge thickness positively correlates with protein interaction confidence based on distinct method detection strategies used and the number of specific documented reports. (B) The subcellular localisation of the interactors resulted from our AP/MS analysis and of SPG11 is visualised, with each colour corresponding to a different location block. The collection of subcellular location data in the form of Gene Ontology cellular component terms was performed through AmiGO and the grouping of each term into location blocks with an in-house grouping protocol.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) 3xFlag-SPG11 overexpressed in HEK293T cells pulls down endogenous 14-3-3 proteins. (B) Immunocytochemical evaluation of 3xFlag-SPG11 subcellular compartmentalisation in HeLa cells reveals predominant perinuclear localisation, partially overlapping with the ER marker calnexin, and sporadic enrichment at the cell periphery in protrusions-like structures. (C) Co-staining of 3xFlag-SPG11 and 14-3-3s suggests that SPG11 only overlaps with a subset of 14-3-3s, as confirmed via pull-down assays between 3xFlag-SPG11 and recombinant 14-3-3 isoforms purified by IMAC (D). Scale bars=20μm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of the putative 14-3-3 binding sites predicted by 14-3-3-Pred. Ser1955, highlighted in light blue, was also reported to be a phosphorylated residue by PhosphoSitePlus ® , and confirmed by phospho-peptide enrichment experiments performed in this work. (B) Binding affinity of 14-3-3s for phosphorylated SPG11-Ser1955 was confirmed through generation of phospho-deficient S1955A-mutant by site-directed mutagenesis. The non-phosphorylatable mutant displays ~ 50% reduction in binding as compared to the WT counterpart.

Article Title: PKA-mediated phosphorylation of SPG11/spatacsin regulates binding with a subset of 14-3-3 proteins

doi: 10.1101/2020.09.09.289009

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Summary of the putative kinases phosphorylating SPG11 on Ser1955, with relative confidence score, as obtained from NetPhos 3.1. The PKA consensus sequence is also indicated and aligned against the SPG11 motif containing Ser1955. (B) Endogenous SPG11 was pulled down from genome-edited monoclonal lines taking advantage of the 3xFlag tag sequence inserted at the endogenous locus. 15 minutes treatment with Forskolin/IBMX increases binding affinity for η-14-3-3, suggesting that phosphorylation by PKA on Ser1955 is the signal regulating interaction (n=2). (C) PLA experiments confirmed (i) interaction between SPG11 and 14-3-3s at the endogenous level and (ii) increased binding in the presence of PKA activation. (PLA reactions were performed between rabbit α-Flag and mouse α-pan-14-3-3 antibodies. Average background signal detected in naïve cells, employed as a negative control for the reaction, was subtracted to all measurements; n=2, ~125 cells counted/condition).

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Cell surface biotinylation assay showing endogenous SPG11 internalisation upon 15 minutes treatment with Forskolin, suggesting that PKA activation is the stimulus to initiate SPG11 trafficking towards intracellular compartments. (B) Representative images of HeLa cells transfected with WT or S1955A-SPG11 and treated with Forskolin/IBMX for 15 and 90 minutes show that only the WT protein is able to respond to PKA activation, suggesting that the mechanism is mediated by 14-3-3 binding. White arrowheads indicate SPG11 enrichment at protrusion-like structures, which is reduced after 15 minutes treatment with Forskolin/IBMX. Scale bar=20μm.

Colony numbers and representative photos of colonies are shown. Bar = 200 μm. C A schematic diagram, created from GDP ( https://BioGDP.com , Agreement number: GDP2025UWV74M), depicting the CRISPR/Cas9-based screening strategy. Lentivirus-transduced Molm13 Cas9 cells were selected with puromycin for 5 days and collected for an initial gDNA sample (denoted as T0). Cells were further grown in CM or -SG medium for 8, 12, or 17 population doublings, and were denoted as P8, P12, or P17, respectively. For each gene, we calculated its gene score as the mean log 2 fold change (LFC) in the abundance of all the sgRNAs targeting the corresponding gene in different population doublings compared to T0. The SG-dependent score refers to the difference in gene scores in the absence versus presence of SG at the same population doubling.

Article Title: Immunosuppressive Drugs Affect High-Mannose/Hybrid N-Glycans on Human Allostimulated Leukocytes

doi: 10.1155/2015/324980

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunosuppressive drugs change the intensity of bands containing GNA-positive proteins. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured for 6 days in the presence of the combination of CsA (150 ng per 1 mL medium) and Rapa (12 ng per 1 mL medium) in a two-way mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) and then lysed in RIPA buffer. Whole-cell lysate proteins (500 μ g) were precipitated with 25 μ L agarose-bound Galanthus nivalis lectin (GNA). The captured glycoproteins were recovered by boiling in Laemmli sample buffer with β -ME and resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. One-fifth of the GNA precipitate was destined for Western blotting (WB) and after probing with biotinylated-GNA was visualized by AP colorimetric reaction (a). The remaining four-fifths of the precipitate, after resolving on the same gel, were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and the bands were excised for MS/MS analysis (b). Molecular weight of proteins was assigned using a PageRuler Prestained Protein Ladder (Thermo Scientific, 26616). LP: lectin precipitation, C: untreated cells, CsA: cyclosporin A, and Rapa: rapamycin.
