Long non-coding RNA Neat1 and paraspeckle components are translational regulators in hypoxia
Abstract
Internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) drive translation initiation during stress. In response to hypoxia, (lymph)angiogenic factors responsible for tissue revascularization in ischemic diseases are induced by the IRES-dependent mechanism. Here we searched for IRES trans-acting factors (ITAFs) active in early hypoxia in mouse cardiomyocytes. Using knock-down and proteomics approaches, we show a link between a stressed-induced nuclear body, the paraspeckle, and IRES-dependent translation. Furthermore, smiFISH experiments demonstrate the recruitment of IRES-containing mRNA into paraspeckle during hypoxia. Our data reveal that the long non-coding RNA Neat1, an essential paraspeckle component, is a key translational regulator, active on IRESs of (lymph)angiogenic and cardioprotective factor mRNAs. In addition, paraspeckle proteins p54nrb and PSPC1 as well as nucleolin and RPS2, two p54nrb-interacting proteins identified by mass spectrometry, are ITAFs for IRES subgroups. Paraspeckle thus appears as a platform to recruit IRES-containing mRNAs and possibly host IRESome assembly. Polysome PCR array shows that Neat1 isoforms regulate IRES-dependent translation and, more widely, translation of mRNAs involved in stress response.

De novo lipogenesis is associated with the development of human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and obesity. At the core of lipogenesis lies acetyl coenzyme A (CoA), a metabolite that plays a crucial role in fatty acid synthesis. One of the pathways contributing to the production of cytosolic acetyl-CoA is mediated by acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2). Here, we reveal that when cells encounter nutrient stress, particularly a deficiency in amino acids, Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) catalyzes the deacetylation of ACSS2 at the lysine residue K271. This results in K271 ubiquitination and subsequently proteasomal degradation of ACSS2. Substitution of K271 leads to decreased ubiquitination of ACSS2, increased ACSS2 protein level, and thus increased lipogenesis. Our study uncovers a mechanism that cells employ to efficiently manage lipogenesis during periods of nutrient stress.

The reorientation of the Golgi apparatus is crucial for cell migration and is regulated by multipolarity signals. A number of non-centrosomal microtubules anchor at the surface of the Golgi apparatus and play a vital role in the Golgi reorientation, but how the Golgi are regulated by polarity signals remains unclear. Calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein 2 (CAMSAP2) is a protein that anchors microtubules to the Golgi, a cellular organelle. Our research indicates that CAMSAP2 is dynamically localized at the Golgi during its reorientation processing. Further research shows that CAMSAP2 is potentially regulated by a polarity signaling molecule called MARK2, which interacts with CAMSAP2. We used mass spectrometry to find that MARK2 phosphorylates CAMSAP2 at serine-835, which affects its interaction with the Golgi-associated protein USO1 but not with CG-NAP or CLASPs. This interaction is critical for anchoring microtubules to the Golgi during cell migration, altering microtubule polarity distribution, and aiding Golgi reorientation. Our study reveals an important signaling pathway in Golgi reorientation during cell migration, which can provide insights for research in cancer cell migration, immune response, and targeted drug development.
