Retrograde trafficking inhibitors allosterically trap Get3 to block tail-anchored protein biogenesis

Retro-1 and Retro-2 are structurally distinct small molecules that protect cells from diverse toxins and viruses by disrupting retrograde trafficking, yet their mechanism of action has remained elusive. We show that both compounds target Get3, the ATPase chaperone of the guided entry of tail-anchored proteins (GET) pathway, which mediates biogenesis of tail-anchored SNARE proteins required for retrograde transport to the ER membrane. Cryo-electron microscopy reveals that Retro compounds bind a cryptic pocket in Get3, allosterically stabilizing Get3 in a stalled complex with upstream pathway components. Our work uncovers the GET pathway as an unsuspected vulnerability in pathogen entry, provides clear routes toward compound optimization, and establishes stabilization of dynamic protein complexes as a therapeutic strategy.

The structure of the lipid II flippase from monoderm bacteria

Peptidoglycan biogenesis requires membrane flippases to translocate lipid-linked precursors across the cytoplasmic membrane for processing (1). This essential step is mediated by MurJ, the lipid II flippase conserved across all peptidoglycan-producing bacteria (2). While MurJ from diderm bacteria has been structurally resolved in multiple conformational states (3-6), its monoderm homolog remains uncharacterized. Monoderm MurJ homologs exhibit substantial sequence divergence yet retain the same lipid II flipping function (7) and are promising antibiotic targets. Here we report structures of Staphylococcus aureus MurJ (SaMurJ) captured in both outward- and inward-facing conformations. These structures show that SaMurJ adopts the conserved MOP family fold and undergoes conformational transitions consistent with an alternating-access mechanism. Our findings reveal conserved and divergent features of MurJ between diderm and monoderm bacteria that are critical for lipid II flipping and provide a structural framework for probing substrate recognition and specific inhibition. Significance StatementThe growing global threat of antibiotic resistance and the limited development of new antibacterial therapies underscore the urgent need to identify and mechanistically characterize new antibiotic targets and mechanisms. MurJ is an essential membrane transporter required for cell wall biosynthesis and represents an attractive but unexplored antibiotic target. Here we determine the structures of MurJ from a clinically critical monoderm pathogen Staphylococcus aureus in key conformational states during its transport cycle. This work advances our understanding of an essential step in bacterial cell wall synthesis, reveals key distinctions between monoderm and diderm MurJ, and defines structural features that can be exploited for antibiotic discovery.

Integrative Single-Cell Epigenomic Atlas Annotates the Regulatory Genome of the Adult Mouse Brain

Histone modifications underpin the cell-type-specific gene regulatory programs that drive the remarkable cellular diversity of the mammalian brain. Here, we jointly profiled four histone modifications and the transcriptome in 2.5 million nuclei from the adult mouse brain. By integrating these data with chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, and three-dimensional genome organization, we constructed a unified epigenomic atlas spanning over 100 brain cell subclasses, and assigned active, primed, and repressive chromatin states across 81% of the genome. Active chromatin states marked by combinatorial histone modifications better nominate candidate enhancers with functional support than chromatin accessibility alone, while H3K27me3- and H3K9me3-marked chromatin states delineate distinct modes of cell-type-specific gene repression. Finally, this multimodal resource enables deep learning models that predict cell-type-specific epigenomic features and gene expression from DNA sequence, providing a comprehensive framework for annotating the brain regulatory genome and interpreting non-coding disease risk variants. HIGHLIGHTS- A single-cell epigenome atlas of transcription and four histone modifications across 2.5M mouse brain cells - Multimodal integration maps chromatin states across [~]81% of the adult mouse brain genome - Cell-type-resolved chromatin landscapes reveal regulatory programs mediated by enhancers, Polycomb and H3K9me3 - Deep learning models predict cell-type-specific epigenomic features and gene expression from DNA sequence

Structures of bacterial and human phosphoglycosyltransferases bound to a common inhibitor inform selective therapeutics

Glycoconjugates facilitate myriad biological processes, including cell-cell recognition and immune response, and they are generated by enzymes that transfer glycans. The orthologs MraY and DPAGT1 are dimeric phosphoglycosyltransferases involved in oligosaccharide biosynthesis for either bacterial peptidoglycan or eukaryotic N-linked glycans, respectively. Both enzymes play central regulatory roles, making them attractive targets for antibacterial and anticancer therapies. In our prior studies, a muraymycin A1-derived inhibitor termed APPB (aminouridyl phenoxypiperidinbenzyl butanamide) was developed. It exhibits sub-100 nM IC50 values against both MraY and DPAGT1 and has demonstrated efficacy against DPAGT1-dependent cancers, making it an excellent starting point for next-generation small molecules. To guide inhibitor development, we determined cryo-EM structures of APPB bound to MraY or DPAGT1 at 2.9 [A] resolution using single-particle analysis. The structures reveal that APPB, composed of a nucleoside, a central amide, and a lipid-mimetic, adopts two conformations in each protein, which correlate with local hydrogen-bonding contacts of the central amide carbonyl. Examination of the amide carbonyl environments guides conformer selection for future DPAGT1-targeting anticancer agents. Further, comparisons of APPB-bound geometries and nucleoside interactions inform opportunities for antibacterial agents targeting MraY. Overall, our study provides design principles for MraY- or DPAGT1-specific drugs and motivates the utility of simultaneously characterizing inhibitor-bound orthologs for selective therapeutics.

Nucleotide and metalloid-driven conformational changes in the arsenite efflux ATPase ArsA

A common mechanism of arsenic detoxification in bacteria is arsenite (AsIII) efflux facilitated by the ArsAB pump that couples metalloid transport to ATP hydrolysis. The cytoplasmic ATPase component, ArsA, binds and hydrolyzes ATP and facilitates the transfer of AsIII to the integral membrane transporter, ArsB. The underlying molecular mechanism of AsIII efflux by ArsAB remains unclear. ArsA is a member of the Intradimeric Walker A (IWA) family of ATPases that undergo dramatic nucleotide-dependent conformational changes to facilitate their respective biological functions. Similar conformational transitions in ArsA have been postulated to drive AsIII binding and transport via ArsB but have not been demonstrated. Here, we report multiple structures of ArsA determined by single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy in an open MgADP-bound state, open MgATP-bound state, and a distinct closed MgATP-bound state liganded to AsIII. Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we confirmed that AsIII coordinates three conserved cysteines at the metalloid-binding site of the closed state in a three-coordinate fashion. Coupled with biochemical characterization, our cryo-EM structures reveal key conformational changes in the ArsA catalytic cycle consistent with other members of the IWA family and provide the structural basis for allosteric activation of nucleotide hydrolysis by AsIII. This work enhances our understanding of how the ArsA catalytic cycle regulates metalloid efflux by ArsB.

Single-cell digital twins identify drug targets and repurposable medicine in Alzheimers disease

Alzheimers disease (AD) is a complex and poorly understood neurodegenerative disorder without sufficiently effective treatments. Novel approaches to identify FDA-approved drugs that may hold potential for mitigating symptoms of AD hold promise for addressing this problem. One such strategy is the use of digital twins (DTs), which are virtual representations of physical entities that facilitate therapeutic target identification by accurately characterizing disease heterogeneities in real time through continuous feedback and dynamic model updates. In this study, we developed a single-cell digital twin (scDT) framework using single-nuclei RNA-seq (1,197,032 nuclei) and ATAC-seq (740,875 nuclei) data from the middle temporal gyrus of 84 donors across 4 degrees of AD neuropathological change (ADNC). We observed differential gene expression for six major cell types intensified at severe ADNC. We also constructed cell type-specific transcription factor (TF)-target gene networks by leveraging peak-to-gene linkages and motif enrichment analyses. By integrating genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci with cell type-specific cis-regulatory DNA elements (CREs), we identified 141 ADNC-associated genes. Using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and network proximity analysis, we identified 13 candidate repurposable drugs that were associated with these ADNC-associated genes. In summary, we constructed a single-cell digital twin (scDT) framework cell type-specific target identification and drug repurposing in AD and other complex diseases if broadly applied.

Mapping essential somatic hypermutations in a CD4-binding site bNAb informs HIV-1 vaccine design

HIV-1 broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) targeting the CD4-binding site (CD4bs) contain rare features that pose challenges to elicit these bNAbs through vaccination. The IOMA-class of CD4bs bNAbs includes fewer rare features and somatic hypermutations (SHMs) to achieve broad neutralization, thus presenting a potentially accessible pathway for vaccine-induced bNAb development. Here, we created a library of IOMA variants in which each SHM was individually reverted to the inferred germline (iGL) counterpart to investigate the roles of SHMs in conferring IOMAs neutralization potency and breadth. Impacts on neutralization for each variant were evaluated, and this information was used to design minimally-mutated IOMA-class variants (IOMAmin) that incorporated the fewest SHMs required for achieving IOMAs neutralization breadth. A cryo-EM structure of an IOMAmin variant bound to Env was used to further interpret characteristics of IOMA variants to elucidate how IOMAs structural features correlate with its neutralization mechanism, informing the design of IOMA-targeting immunogens. HighlightsIOMAmin variants with reduced SHMs retain neutralization potency and breadth. Cryo-EM structure reveals IOMAmin preserves key Env interactions despite fewer SHMs. IOMA variants with mutations in CDRH3 and CDRL1 fail to improve neutralization.

Functional characterization of gene regulatory elements and neuropsychiatric disease-associated risk loci in iPSCs and iPSC-derived neurons

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of non-coding variants that contribute to psychiatric disease risks, likely by perturbing cis-regulatory elements (CREs). However, our ability to interpret and explore their mechanisms of action is hampered by a lack of annotation of functional CREs (fCREs) in neural cell types. Here, through genome-scale CRISPR screens of 22,000 candidate CREs (cCREs) in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) undergoing differentiation to excitatory neurons, we identify 2,847 and 5,540 fCREs essential for iPSC fitness and neuronal differentiation, respectively. These fCREs display dynamic epigenomic features and exhibit increased numbers and genomic spans of chromatin interactions following terminal neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, fCREs essential for neuronal differentiation show significantly greater enrichment of genetic heritability for neurodevelopmental diseases including schizophrenia (SCZ), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) than cCREs. Using high-throughput prime editing screens we experimentally confirm 45 SCZ risk variants that act by affecting the function of fCREs. The extensive and in-depth functional annotation of cCREs in neuronal types therefore provides a crucial resource for interpreting non-coding risk variants of neuropsychiatric disorders.

A feedback control mechanism governs the synthesis of lipid-linked precursors of the bacterial cell wall

Many bacterial surface glycans such as the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall, O-antigens, and capsules are built from monomeric units linked to a polyprenyl lipid carrier. How this limiting lipid carrier is effectively distributed among competing pathways has remained unclear for some time. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of hyperactive variants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MraY, the essential and conserved enzyme catalyzing the formation of the first lipid-linked PG precursor called lipid I. These variants result in the elevated production of the final PG precursor lipid II in cells and are hyperactive in a purified system. Amino acid substitutions within the activated MraY variants unexpectedly map to a cavity on the extracellular side of the dimer interface, far from the active site. Our structural evidence and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the cavity is a binding site for lipid II molecules that have been transported to the outer leaflet of the membrane. Overall, our results support a model in which excess externalized lipid II allosterically inhibits MraY, providing a feedback mechanism to prevent the sequestration of lipid carrier in the PG biogenesis pathway. MraY belongs to the broadly distributed polyprenyl-phosphate N-acetylhexosamine 1-phosphate transferase (PNPT) superfamily of enzymes. We therefore propose that similar feedback mechanisms may be widely employed to coordinate precursor supply with demand by polymerases, thereby optimizing the partitioning of lipid carriers between competing glycan biogenesis pathways.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa AlgF is a protein-protein interaction mediator required for acetylation of the alginate exopolysaccharide

Enzymatic modifications of bacterial exopolysaccharides enhance immune evasion and persistence during infection. In the Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, acetylation of alginate reduces opsonic killing by phagocytes and improves reactive oxygen species scavenging. Although it is well-known that alginate acetylation in P. aeruginosa requires AlgI, AlgJ, AlgF, and AlgX, how these proteins coordinate polymer modification at a molecular level remains unclear. Here, we describe the structural characterization of AlgF and its protein interaction network. We characterize direct interactions between AlgF and both AlgJ and AlgX in vitro, and demonstrate an association between AlgF and AlgX, as well as AlgJ and AlgI, in P. aeruginosa. We determine that AlgF does not exhibit acetylesterase activity and is unable to bind to polymannuronate in vitro. Therefore, we propose that AlgF functions to mediate protein-protein interactions between alginate acetylation enzymes, forming the periplasmic AlgJFXK (AlgJ-AlgF-AlgX-AlgK) acetylation and export complex required for robust biofilm formation.

Single-cell DNA Methylome and 3D Multi-omic Atlas of the Adult Mouse Brain

Cytosine DNA methylation is essential in brain development and has been implicated in various neurological disorders. A comprehensive understanding of DNA methylation diversity across the entire brain in the context of the brains 3D spatial organization is essential for building a complete molecular atlas of brain cell types and understanding their gene regulatory landscapes. To this end, we employed optimized single-nucleus methylome (snmC-seq3) and multi-omic (snm3C-seq1) sequencing technologies to generate 301,626 methylomes and 176,003 chromatin conformation/methylome joint profiles from 117 dissected regions throughout the adult mouse brain. Using iterative clustering and integrating with companion whole-brain transcriptome and chromatin accessibility datasets, we constructed a methylation-based cell type taxonomy that contains 4,673 cell groups and 261 cross-modality-annotated subclasses. We identified millions of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) across the genome, representing potential gene regulation elements. Notably, we observed spatial cytosine methylation patterns on both genes and regulatory elements in cell types within and across brain regions. Brain-wide multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH2) data validated the association of this spatial epigenetic diversity with transcription and allowed the mapping of the DNA methylation and topology information into anatomical structures more precisely than our dissections. Furthermore, multi-scale chromatin conformation diversities occur in important neuronal genes, highly associated with DNA methylation and transcription changes. Brain-wide cell type comparison allowed us to build a regulatory model for each gene, linking transcription factors, DMRs, chromatin contacts, and downstream genes to establish regulatory networks. Finally, intragenic DNA methylation and chromatin conformation patterns predicted alternative gene isoform expression observed in a companion whole-brain SMART-seq3 dataset. Our study establishes the first brain-wide, single-cell resolution DNA methylome and 3D multi-omic atlas, providing an unparalleled resource for comprehending the mouse brains cellular-spatial and regulatory genome diversity.

Comparative single cell epigenomic analysis of gene regulatory programs in the rodent and primate neocortex

Sequence divergence of cis-regulatory elements drives species-specific traits, but how this manifests in the evolution of the neocortex at the molecular and cellular level remains to be elucidated. We investigated the gene regulatory programs in the primary motor cortex of human, macaque, marmoset, and mouse with single-cell multiomics assays, generating gene expression, chromatin accessibility, DNA methylome, and chromosomal conformation profiles from a total of over 180,000 cells. For each modality, we determined species-specific, divergent, and conserved gene expression and epigenetic features at multiple levels. We find that cell type-specific gene expression evolves more rapidly than broadly expressed genes and that epigenetic status at distal candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) evolves faster than promoters. Strikingly, transposable elements (TEs) contribute to nearly 80% of the human-specific cCREs in cortical cells. Through machine learning, we develop sequence-based predictors of cCREs in different species and demonstrate that the genomic regulatory syntax is highly preserved from rodents to primates. Lastly, we show that epigenetic conservation combined with sequence similarity helps uncover functional cis-regulatory elements and enhances our ability to interpret genetic variants contributing to neurological disease and traits.

A comparative atlas of single-cell chromatin accessibility in the human brain

The human brain contains an extraordinarily diverse set of neuronal and glial cell types. Recent advances in single cell transcriptomics have begun to delineate the cellular heterogeneity in different brain regions, but the transcriptional regulatory programs responsible for the identity and function of each brain cell type remain to be defined. Here, we carried out single nucleus ATAC-seq analysis to probe the open chromatin landscape from over 1.1 million cells in 42 brain regions of three neurotypical adult donors. Integrative analysis of the resulting data identified 107 distinct cell types and revealed the cell-type-specific usage of 544,735 candidate cis-regulatory DNA elements (cCREs) in the human genome. Nearly 1/3 of them displayed sequence conservation as well as chromatin accessibility in the mouse brain. On the other hand, nearly 40% cCREs were human specific, with chromatin accessibility associated with species-restricted gene expression. Interestingly, these human specific cCREs were enriched for distinct families of retrotransposable elements, which displayed cell-type-specific chromatin accessibility. We uncovered strong associations between specific brain cell types and neuropsychiatric disorders. We futher developed deep learning models to predict regulatory function of non-coding disease risk variants.

Bridging between mouse and human enhancer-promoter long-range interactions in neural stem cells, to understand enhancer function in neurodevelopmental disease

Non-coding variation in complex human disease has been well established by genome-wide association studies, and it is thought to involve regulatory elements, such as enhancers, whose variation affects the expression of the gene responsible for the disease. The regulatory elements often lie far from the gene they regulate, or within introns of genes differing from the regulated gene, making it difficult to identify the gene whose function is affected by a given enhancer variation. Enhancers are connected to their target gene promoters via long-range physical interactions (loops). In our study, we re-mapped, onto the human genome, more than 10,000 enhancers connected to promoters via long-range interactions, that we had previously identified in mouse brain-derived neural stem cells by RNApolII-ChIA-PET analysis, coupled to ChIP-seq mapping of DNA/chromatin regions carrying epigenetic enhancer marks. These interactions are thought to be functionally relevant. We discovered, in the human genome, thousands of DNA regions syntenic with the interacting mouse DNA regions (enhancers+connected promoters). We further annotated these human regions regarding their overlap with sequence variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs; copy number variants, CNVs), that were previously associated with neurodevelopmental disease in human. We document various cases in which the genetic variant, associated in human to neurodevelopmental disease, affects an enhancer involved in long-range interactions: SNPs, previously identified by genome-wide association studies to be associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and intelligence, are located within our human syntenic enhancers, and alter transcription factors recognition sites. Similarly, CNVs associated to autism spectrum disease and other neurodevelopmental disorders overlap with our human syntenic enhancers. Some of these enhancers are connected (in mouse) to homologs of genes already associated to the human disease, strengthening the hypothesis that the gene is indeed involved in the disease. Other enhancers are connected to genes not previously associated with the disease, pointing to their possible pathogenetic involvement. Our observations provide a resource for further exploration of neural disease, in parallel with the now widespread genome-wide identification of DNA variants in patients with neural disease.

Robust enhancer-gene regulation identified by single-cell transcriptomes and epigenomes

Integrating single-cell transcriptomes and epigenomes across diverse cell types can link genes with the cis-regulatory elements (CREs) that control expression. Gene co-expression across cell types confounds simple correlation-based analysis and results in high false prediction rates. We developed a procedure that controls for co-expression between genes and integrates multiple molecular modalities, and used it to identify >10,000 gene-CRE pairs that contribute to gene expression programs in different cell types in the mouse brain.

A cell atlas of chromatin accessibility across 25 adult human tissues

Current catalogs of regulatory sequences in the human genome are still incomplete and lack cell type resolution. To profile the activity of human gene regulatory elements in diverse cell types and tissues in the human body, we applied single cell chromatin accessibility assays to 25 distinct human tissue types from multiple donors. The resulting chromatin maps comprising [~]500,000 nuclei revealed the status of open chromatin for over 750,000 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in 54 distinct cell types. We further delineated cell type-specific and tissue-context dependent gene regulatory programs, and developmental stage specificity by comparing with a recent human fetal chromatin accessibility atlas. We finally used these chromatin maps to interpret the noncoding variants associated with complex human traits and diseases. This rich resource provides a foundation for the analysis of gene regulatory programs in human cell types across tissues and organ systems.

Cardiac Cell Type-Specific Gene Regulatory Programs and Disease Risk Association

BackgroundCis-regulatory elements such as enhancers and promoters are crucial for directing gene expression in the human heart. Dysregulation of these elements can result in many cardiovascular diseases that are major leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In addition, genetic variants associated with cardiovascular disease risk are enriched within cis-regulatory elements. However, the location and activity of these cis-regulatory elements in individual cardiac cell types remains to be fully defined. MethodsWe performed single nucleus ATAC-seq and single nucleus RNA-seq to define a comprehensive catalogue of candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) and gene expression patterns for the distinct cell types comprising each chamber of four non-failing human hearts. We used this catalogue to computationally deconvolute dynamic enhancers in failing hearts and to assign cardiovascular disease risk variants to cCREs in individual cardiac cell types. Finally, we applied reporter assays, genome editing and electrophysiogical measurements in in vitro differentiated human cardiomyocytes to validate the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular disease risk variants. ResultsWe defined >287,000 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in human hearts at single-cell resolution, which notably revealed gene regulatory programs controlling specific cell types in a cardiac region/structure-dependent manner and during heart failure. We further report enrichment of cardiovascular disease risk variants in cCREs of distinct cardiac cell types, including a strong enrichment of atrial fibrillation variants in cardiomyocyte cCREs, and reveal 38 candidate causal atrial fibrillation variants localized to cardiomyocyte cCREs. Two such risk variants residing within a cardiomyocyte-specific cCRE at the KCNH2/HERG locus resulted in reduced enhancer activity compared to the non-risk allele. Finally, we found that deletion of the cCRE containing these variants decreased KCNH2 expression and prolonged action potential repolarization in an enhancer dosage-dependent manner. ConclusionsThis comprehensive atlas of human cardiac cCREs provides the foundation for not only illuminating cell type-specific gene regulatory programs controlling human hearts during health and disease, but also interpreting genetic risk loci for a wide spectrum of cardiovascular diseases.

DNA Methylation Atlas of the Mouse Brain at Single-Cell Resolution

Mammalian brain cells are remarkably diverse in gene expression, anatomy, and function, yet the regulatory DNA landscape underlying this extensive heterogeneity is poorly understood. We carried out a comprehensive assessment of the epigenomes of mouse brain cell types by applying single nucleus DNA methylation sequencing to profile 110,294 nuclei from 45 regions of the mouse cortex, hippocampus, striatum, pallidum, and olfactory areas. We identified 161 cell clusters with distinct spatial locations and projection targets. We constructed taxonomies of these epigenetic types, annotated with signature genes, regulatory elements, and transcription factors. These features indicate the potential regulatory landscape supporting the assignment of putative cell types, and reveal repetitive usage of regulators in excitatory and inhibitory cells for determining subtypes. The DNA methylation landscape of excitatory neurons in the cortex and hippocampus varied continuously along spatial gradients. Using this deep dataset, an artificial neural network model was constructed that precisely predicts single neuron cell-type identity and brain area spatial location. Integration of high-resolution DNA methylomes with single-nucleus chromatin accessibility data allowed prediction of high-confidence enhancer-gene interactions for all identified cell types, which were subsequently validated by cell-type-specific chromatin conformation capture experiments. By combining multi-omic datasets (DNA methylation, chromatin contacts, and open chromatin) from single nuclei and annotating the regulatory genome of hundreds of cell types in the mouse brain, our DNA methylation atlas establishes the epigenetic basis for neuronal diversity and spatial organization throughout the mouse brain.
