Human neutralizing antibodies to cold linear epitopes and to subdomain 1 of SARS-CoV-2

Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants diminishes the efficacy of vaccines and antiviral monoclonal antibodies. Continued development of immunotherapies and vaccine immunogens resilient to viral evolution is therefore necessary. Using coldspot-guided antibody discovery, a screening approach that focuses on portions of the virus spike that are both functionally relevant and averse to change, we identified human neutralizing antibodies to highly conserved viral epitopes. Antibody fp.006 binds the fusion peptide and cross-reacts against coronaviruses of the four genera, including the nine human coronaviruses, through recognition of a conserved motif that includes the S2 site of proteolytic cleavage. Antibody hr2.016 targets the stem helix and neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 variants. Antibody sd1.040 binds to subdomain 1, synergizes with antibody rbd.042 for neutralization and, like fp.006 and hr2.016, protects mice when present as bispecific antibody. Thus, coldspot-guided antibody discovery reveals donor-derived neutralizing antibodies that are cross-reactive with Orthocoronavirinae, including SARS-CoV-2 variants. One sentence summaryBroadly cross-reactive antibodies that protect from SARS-CoV-2 variants are revealed by virus coldspot-driven discovery.

Retinitis pigmentosa associated mutations in mouse Prpf8 cause misexpression of circRNAs and degeneration of cerebellar granule neurons

A subset of patients suffering from a familial retinitis pigmentosa (RP) carry mutations in several spliceosomal components including PRPF8 protein. Here, we established two novel alleles of murine Prpf8 that genocopy or mimic aberrant PRPF8 found in RP patients - the substitution p.Tyr2334Asn and an extended protein variant p.Glu2331ValfsX15. Homozygous mice expressing either of the aberrant Prpf8 variants developed within first 2 months progressive atrophy of the cerebellum due to extensive granule neuron loss. Comparison of transcriptome from pre-degenerative and degenerative tissues revealed a subset of circRNAs that were deregulated in all tissues and both Prpf8-RP mouse strains. To identify potential risk factors that sensitize cerebellum for Prpf8 mutations we monitored expression of several splicing proteins during first eight weeks. We observed downregulation of all selected splicing proteins in wild-type cerebellum, which coincided with neurodegeneration onset. The decrease in splicing protein expression was further pronounced in mouse strains expressing mutated Prpf8. Collectively, we propose a model where physiological reduction of spliceosomal components during postnatal tissue maturation sensitizes cells to expression of aberrant Prpf8 and the subsequent deregulation of circRNAs triggers neuron death.

Molecular basis of indispensable accuracy of mammalian miRNA biogenesis

Mammalian Dicer is the gatekeeper into the essential gene-regulating miRNA pathway. What is committing mammalian Dicer to the miRNA pathway remains unknown. We report that Dicers highly conserved DExD/H helicase domain is the key structural element supporting accurate miRNA biogenesis. While ATPase activity of the domain is non-essential, its loss is lethal in mice. It is required during canonical miRNA biogenesis for efficient recognition, high-fidelity cleavage, and strand selection. Structure of Dicer-miRNA precursor complexes showed that the DExD/H domain acquired helicase-unrelated function defining Dicer conformations, which affect substrate loading and facilitate pre-selection of miRNA precursors. Dicer lacking the DExD/H domain favors conformations enabling reduced substrate selectivity and supporting RNA interference, a different small RNA pathway. Therefore, Dicers DExD/H domain ensures indispensable high-fidelity precursor processing of mammalian miRNAs, which constitutes a structural "mold" for adaptive miRNA evolution.

Comprehensive transcriptional profiling and mouse phenotyping reveals dispensable role for adipose tissue selective long noncoding RNA Gm15551

1Cold and nutrient activated brown adipose tissue (BAT) is capable of increasing systemic energy expenditure via uncoupled respiration and secretion of endocrine factors thereby protecting mice against diet-induced obesity and improving insulin response and glucose tolerance in men. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been identified as fine tuning regulators of cellular function. While certain lncRNAs have been functionally characterised in adipose tissue, their overall contribution in the activation of BAT remains elusive. We identified lncRNAs correlating to inter-scapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) function in high fat diet (HFD) and cold stressed mice. We focused on Gm15551 which has an adipose tissue specific expression profile, is highly upregulated during adipogenesis and downregulated by {beta}-adrenergic activation in mature adipocytes. Albeit we performed comprehensive transcriptional and adipocyte physiology profiling in vitro and in vivo, we could not detect an effect of gain or loss of function of Gm15551.

A mixture of innate cryoprotectants is key for cryopreservation of a drosophilid fly larva.

Insects that naturally tolerate internal freezing produce complex mixtures of multiple cryoprotectants (CPs). Better knowledge on composition of these mixtures, and on mechanisms of how the individual CPs interact, could inspire development of laboratory CP formulations optimized for cryopreservation of cells and other biological material. Here we identify and quantify (using high resolution mass spectrometry) a range of putative CPs in larval tissues of a subarctic fly, Chymomyza costata that survives long-term cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen. The CPs (proline, trehalose, glutamine, asparagine, glycine betaine, glycerophosphoethanolamine, glycerophosphocholine, and sarcosine) accumulate in hemolymph in a ratio of 313:108:55:26:6:4:3:0.5 mmol.L-1. Using calorimetry, we show that the artificial mixtures, mimicking the concentrations of major CPs in hemolymph of freeze-tolerant larvae, suppress the melting point of water and significantly reduce the ice fraction. We demonstrate in a bioassay that mixtures of CPs administered through the diet act synergistically rather than additively to enable cryopreservation of otherwise freeze-sensitive larvae. Using MALDI-MSI, we show that during slow extracellular freezing trehalose becomes concentrated in partially dehydrated hemolymph where it stimulates transition to the amorphous glass phase. In contrast, proline moves to the boundary between extracellular ice and dehydrated hemolymph and tissues where it likely forms a layer of dense viscoelastic liquid. We propose that amorphous glass and viscoelastic liquids may protect macromolecules and cells from thermomechanical shocks associated with freezing and transfer into and out of liquid nitrogen. Summary statementThe composition of natural cryoprotectant mixture of the extremely freeze-tolerant insect is revealed. Components of the mixture work in synergy and behave differently during organismal freezing and cryopreservation.

LAMP3 is critical for surfactant homeostasis in mice

Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 3 (LAMP3) is a type I transmembrane protein of the LAMP protein family with a cell-type-specific expression in alveolar type II cells in mice and hitherto unknown function. In type II pneumocytes, LAMP3 is localized in lamellar bodies, secretory organelles releasing pulmonary surfactant into the extracellular space to lower surface tension at the air/liquid interface. The physiological function of LAMP3, however, remains enigmatic. We generated Lamp3 knockout mice by CRISPR/Cas9. LAMP3 deficient mice are viable with an average life span and display regular lung function under basal conditions. The levels of a major hydrophobic protein component of pulmonary surfactant, SP-C, are strongly increased in the lung of Lamp3 knockout mice, and the lipid composition of the bronchoalveolar lavage shows mild but significant changes, resulting in alterations in surfactant functionality. In ovalbumin-induced experimental allergic asthma, the changes in lipid composition are aggravated, and LAMP3-deficient mice exert an increased airway resistance. Our data suggest a critical role of LAMP3 in the regulation of pulmonary surfactant homeostasis and normal lung function.

DDI2 protease activity controls embryonic development and inflammation via TCF11/NRF1

DDI2 is an aspartic protease that cleaves polyubiquitinated substrates. Upon proteotoxic stress, DDI2 activates the ER-bound transcription factor TCF11/NRF1 (NFE2L1), a master regulator of proteostasis maintenance in mammalian cells, and ensures the expression of rescue factors including proteasome subunits. Here we describe the consequences of DDI2 ablation both in vivo and in cells. Knock-out of DDI2 in mice resulted in embryonic lethality at E12.5 with severe developmental failure. Molecular characterization of the embryos and surrogate DDI2 knock-out cell lines showed insufficient proteasome expression with proteotoxic stress, accumulation of high molecular weight ubiquitin conjugates, and induction of the unfolded protein and integrated stress responses. We also show that DDI2 KO-induced proteotoxic stress causes the cell-autonomous innate immune system to induce a type I interferon signature. These results indicate an important role for DDI2 in the proteostasis network of cells and tissues and in the maintenance of a balanced immune response.

Plectin Ensures Intestinal Epithelial Integrity and Protects Colon Against Colitis

Plectin, a highly versatile cytolinker protein, provides tissues with mechanical stability through the integration of intermediate filaments (IFs) with cell junctions. Here, we hypothesize that plectin-controlled cytoarchitecture is a critical determinant of the intestinal barrier function and homeostasis. Mice lacking plectin in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC; Ple{Delta}IEC) spontaneously developed colitis characterized by extensive detachment of IECs from the basement membrane (BM), increased intestinal permeability, and inflammatory lesions. Moreover, plectin expression was reduced in colons of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and negatively correlated with the severity of colitis. Mechanistically, plectin deficiency in IECs led to aberrant keratin filament (KF) network organization and formation of dysfunctional hemidesmosomes (HDs) and intercellular junctions. In addition, the hemidesmosomal 6{beta}4 integrin (Itg) receptor showed attenuated association with KFs, and protein profiling revealed prominent downregulation of junctional constituents. Consistent with effects of plectin loss in the intestinal epithelium, plectin-deficient IECs exhibited remarkably reduced mechanical stability and limited adhesion capacity in vitro. Feeding mice with a low-residue liquid diet that reduced mechanical stress and antibiotic treatment successfully mitigated epithelial damage in the Ple{Delta}IEC colon.

Cytoplasmic polyadenylation by TENT5A is required for proper bone formation

Osteoblasts orchestrate bone formation by secreting dense, highly cross-linked type I collagen and other proteins involved in osteogenesis. Mutations in Col11, Col12, or collagen biogenesis factors lead to the human genetic disease, osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Herein, we show that the TENT5A gene, whose mutation is responsible for poorly characterized type XVIII OI, encodes an active cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase regulating osteogenesis. TENT5A is induced during osteoblast differentiation and TENT5A KO osteoblasts are defective in mineralization. The TENT5A KO mouse recapitulates OI disease symptoms such as bone fragility and hypomineralization. Direct RNA sequencing revealed that TENT5A polyadenylates and increases expression of Col11 and Col12 RNAs, as well as those of other genes mutated in OI, resulting in lower production and improper folding of collagen chains. Thus, we have identified the specific pathomechanism of XVIII OI and report for the first time a biologically relevant post-transcriptional regulator of collagen production. We further postulate that TENT5A, possibly together with its paralogue TENT5C, is responsible for the wave of cytoplasmic polyadenylation of mRNAs encoding secreted proteins occurring during bone mineralization.

MEIS-WNT5A axis regulates development of 4th ventricle choroid plexus

The choroid plexus (ChP) produces cerebrospinal fluid and forms a critical barrier between the brain and the circulation. While the ChP forms in each brain ventricle, it adopts a different shape in each one and remarkably little is known about the mechanisms underlying its development. Here, we show that epithelial WNT5A is critical for determining fourth ventricle (4V) ChP morphogenesis and size. Systemic Wnt5a knockout, or forced WNT5A overexpression beginning at E10.5, profoundly reduced the size and development of ChP in all ventricles. However, conditional deletion of Wnt5a expression in Foxj1-expressing epithelial cells affected only the branched, villous morphology of the 4V ChP. We found that WNT5A was enriched in epithelial cells localized to the distal tips of 4V ChP villi, where WNT5A acted locally to activate non-canonical Wnt signaling via Ror1/Ror2 receptors. During 4V ChP development, MEIS1 bound to the proximal Wnt5a promoter, and gain- and loss-of-function approaches demonstrated that MEIS1 regulated Wnt5a expression. Collectively, our findings demonstrate a dual function of WNT5A in ChP development and identify MEIS1 and MEIS2 as upstream regulators of Wnt5a in the 4V ChP epithelium.

Cytotoxicity of the effector protein BteA was attenuated in Bordetella pertussis by insertion of an alanine residue

Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella pertussis are closely related respiratory pathogens that evolved from a common bacterial ancestor. While B. bronchiseptica has an environmental reservoir and mostly establishes chronic infections in a broad range of mammals, B. pertussis is a human-specific pathogen causing acute pulmonary pertussis in infants and whooping cough illness in older humans. Both species employ a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject a cytotoxic BteA effector protein into host cells. However, compared to the high BteA-mediated cytotoxicity of B. bronchiseptica, the cytotoxicity induced by B. pertussis BteA (Bp BteA) appears to be quite low and this has been attributed to the reduced T3SS gene expression in B. pertussis. We show that presence of an alanine residue inserted at position 503 (A503) of Bp BteA accounts for its strongly attenuated cytotoxic potency. Deletion of A503 from Bp BteA greatly enhanced the cytotoxic activity of B. pertussis B1917 on mammalian HeLa cells and expression of Bp BteA{Delta}A503 was highly toxic to Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Vice versa, insertion of A503 into B. bronchiseptica BteA (Bb BteA) strongly decreased its cytotoxicity to yeast and HeLa cells. Moreover, production of Bp BteA{Delta}A503 increased virulence of B. pertussis B1917 in the mouse model of intranasal infection (reduced LD50) but yielded less inflammatory pathology in infected mouse lungs at sublethal infectious doses. This suggests that A503 insertion in the T3SS effector Bp BteA may represent an evolutionary adaptation that fine-tunes B. pertussis virulence and host immune response. Author summaryPertussis remains the least-controlled vaccine-preventable infectious disease and the mechanisms by which Bordetella pertussis subverts defense mechanisms of human airway mucosa remain poorly understood. We found that B. pertussis had the cytotoxic activity of its type III secretion system-delivered effector BteA strongly attenuated by insertion of an alanine residue at position 503 as compared to the BteA homologue of the animal pathogen B. bronchiseptica. This functional adaptation reduced the capacity of B. pertussis to suppress host inflammatory response and may contribute to an acute course of the pulmonary form of human infant pertussis.

Deubiquitylase UCHL3 drives error correction at kinetochores and chromosome segregation independent of spindle assembly checkpoint

Equal segregation of chromosomes during mitosis ensures euploidy of daughter cells. Defects in this process may result in imbalance in chromosomal composition and cellular transformation. Two surveillance pathways, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) and the error-correction (EC), exist at kinetochores that monitor microtubule attachment and faithful segregation of chromosomes at the metaphase to anaphase transition. However, the molecular understanding of the interplay between EC and SAC signaling remains limited. Here we describe a role of deubiquitylase UCHL3 in the regulation of EC pathway during mitosis. Downregulation or inhibition of UCHL3 leads to improper attachments of chromosomes to spindle microtubules and to chromosome alignment defects during metaphase. Frequent segregation errors during anaphase and consequently aneuploidy is also observed upon inactivation of UCHL3. Surprisingly, UCHL3 is not involved in SAC signaling as both recruitment of SAC proteins to kinetochores and timely anaphase onset are not perturbed in UCHL3-deficient cells. Mechanistically, UCHL3 interacts with and deubiquitylates the mitotic kinase Aurora B known to drive both SAC and EC signaling. UCHL3 promotes interaction of Aurora B with MCAK, important EC factor but does not regulate Aurora B binding to other interacting partners or subcellular localization of Aurora B. Our results thus suggest that UCHL3-mediated deubiquitylation functionally separates EC from SAC signaling during mitosis and is critical for maintenance of euploidy in human cells.

Regulation of neutrophil NADPH oxidase by PSTPIP2 affects bone damage in murine autoinflammatory osteomyelitis

Autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by dysregulation of the innate immune system leading to spontaneous inflammation. Pstpip2cmo mouse strain is a well-characterized model of this class of disorders. Due to the mutation leading to the lack of adaptor protein PSTPIP2, these animals suffer from autoinflammatory chronic multifocal osteomyelitis similar to several human syndromes. Current evidence suggests that it is driven by hyperproduction of IL-1{beta} by neutrophil granulocytes. Here we show that in addition to IL-1{beta}, PSTPIP2 also negatively regulates ROS generation by neutrophil NADPH oxidase. Pstpip2cmo neutrophils display highly elevated ROS production in response to a range of stimuli. Inactivation of NADPH oxidase in Pstpip2cmo mice did not affect IL-1{beta} levels and the autoinflammatory process was initiated with similar kinetics. However, the bone destruction was almost completely alleviated, suggesting that dysregulated NADPH oxidase activity is a key factor promoting autoinflammatory bone damage in Pstpip2cmo mice.

CRMP2 mediates Sema3F-dependent axon pruning and dendritic spine remodeling

Regulation of axon guidance and pruning of inappropriate synapses by class 3 semaphorins is key to development of neural circuits. Collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2) has been shown to regulate axon guidance by mediating Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) signaling and its dysfunction has been linked to schizophrenia, however, nothing is known about its role in the synapse pruning. Here, using newly generated crmp2-/- mice we demonstrate that while CRMP2 has only a moderate effect on Sema3A-dependent axon guidance in vivo, it is essential for Sema3F-dependent axon pruning and dendritic spine remodeling. We first demonstrate that CRMP2 deficiency interferes with Sema3A signaling in compartmentalized neuron cultures and leads to a mild defect in axon guidance in peripheral nerves and corpus callosum. Strikingly, we show that crmp2-/- mice display more prominent defects in dendritic spine pruning and stereotyped axon pruning in hippocampus and visual cortex consistent with impaired Sema3F signaling and with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-rather than schizophrenia-like phenotype. Indeed, we demonstrate that CRMP2 mediates Sema3F-induced axon retraction in primary neurons and that crmp2-/- mice display early postnatal behavioral changes linked to ASD. In conclusion, we demonstrate that CRMP2 is an essential mediator of Sema3F-dependent synapse pruning and its dysfunction in early postnatal stages shares histological and behavioral features of ASD.

Human and mouse essentiality screens as a resource for disease gene discovery

Although genomic sequencing has been transformative in the study of rare genetic diseases, identifying causal variants remains a considerable challenge that can be addressed in part by new gene-specific knowledge. Here, we integrate measures of how essential a gene is to supporting life, as inferred from the comprehensive viability and phenotyping screens performed on knockout mice by the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium and from human cell line essentiality screens. We propose a novel, cross-species gene classification across the Full Spectrum of Intolerance to Loss-of-function (FUSIL) and demonstrate that genes in five mutually exclusive FUSIL categories have differing characteristics in the biological processes they regulate, tissue expression levels and human mutation rates. Most notably, Mendelian disease genes, particularly those associated with developmental disorders, are highly overrepresented in the developmental lethal category, representing genes not essential for cell survival but required for organism development. Exploiting this finding, we have screened developmental disorder cases from three independent disease sequencing consortia and identified potentially pathogenic, de novo variants shared in different patients for several developmental lethal genes that have not previously been associated with rare disease. We therefore propose FUSIL as an efficient resource for disease gene discovery.

Genomic structure of Hstx2 modifier of Prdm9-dependent hybrid male sterility in mice

F1 hybrids between mouse inbred strains PWD and C57BL/6 represent the most thoroughly genetically defined model of hybrid sterility in vertebrates. Hybrid male sterility can be fully reconstituted from three components of this model, namely the Prdm9 hybrid sterility gene, intersubspecific homeology of Mus musculus musculus and Mus musculus domesticus autosomes, and the X-linked Hstx2 locus. Hstx2 modulates the extent of Prdm9-dependent meiotic arrest and harbors two additional genetic factors responsible for intersubspecific introgression-induced oligospermia (Hstx1) and reduced global meiotic recombination rate (Meir1). To facilitate positional cloning and to overcome the recombination suppression within the 4.3 Mb genomicDob interval encompassing the Hstx2 locus we designed Hstx2-CRISPR and SPO11/Cas9 transgenes aimed to induce DNA double-strand breaks specifically within the Hstx2 locus. The resulting recombinant reduced the Hstx2 locus to 2.70 Mb (Chr X:66.51-69.21 Mb). The newly defined Hstx2 still operates as the major X-linked factor of the F1 hybrid sterility, controls meiotic chromosome synapsis, and modifies meiotic recombination rate. Despite extensive further crosses, the 2.70 Mb Hstx2 interval behaved as a recombination cold spot with reduced PRDM9-mediated H3K4 hotspots and absence of DMC1-defined DNA DSB hotspots. To search for structural anomalies as a possible cause of recombination suppression we used optical mapping of the Hstx2 interval and observed high incidence of subspecies-specific structural variants along the X chromosome, with a striking copy number polymorphism of the microRNA Mir465 cluster. Finally, we analyzed the role of one of the Hstx2 candidate genes, the Fmr1 neighbor (Fmr1nb) gene in male fertility.\n\nArticle summaryEarly meiotic arrest of mouse intersubspecific hybrids depends on the interaction between the Prdm9 gene and Hybrid sterility X2 (Hstx2) locus on chromosome X. Lustyk et al. conducted high-resolution genetic and physical mapping of the Hstx2 locus, reduced it to 2.7 Mb interval within a constitutive recombination cold spot and found that the newly defined Hstx2 still operates as the X-linked hybrid sterility factor, controls meiotic chromosome synapsis, and modifies recombination rate. Optical mapping of the Hstx2 genomic region excluded inversion as a cause of recombination suppression and revealed a striking copy number polymorphism of the microRNA Mir465 cluster.

Rapid single-cell cytometry data visualization with EmbedSOM

Efficient unbiased data analysis is a major challenge for laboratories handling large cytometry datasets. We present EmbedSOM, a non-linear embedding algorithm based on FlowSOM that improves the analyses by providing high-performance visualization of complex single cell distributions within cellular populations and their transition states. The algorithm is designed for linear scaling and speed suitable for interactive analyses of millions of cells without downsampling. At the same time, the visualization quality is competitive with current state-of-art algorithms. We demonstrate the properties of EmbedSOM on workflows that improve two essential types of analyses: The native ability of EmbedSOM to align population positions in embedding is used for comparative analysis of multi-sample data, and the connection to FlowSOM is exploited for simplifying the supervised hierarchical dissection of cell populations. Additionally, we discuss the visualization of the trajectories between cellular states facilitated by the local linearity of the embedding.

Role of Cnot6l in maternal mRNA turnover

Removal of poly(A) tail is an important mechanism controlling eukaryotic mRNA turnover. The major eukaryotic deadenylase complex CCR4-NOT contains two deadenylase components, CCR4 and CAF1 for which mammalian CCR4 is encoded by Cnot6 or Cnot6l paralogs. We show that Cnot6l apparently supplies the majority of CCR4 in the maternal CCR4-NOT complex in mouse, hamster, and bovine oocytes. Deletion of Cnot6l yielded viable mice but Cnot6l-/- females exhibited ~40% smaller litter size. The main onset of the phenotype was post-zygotic: fertilized Cnot6l-/- eggs developed slower and arrested more frequently than Cnot6l+/- eggs suggesting that maternal CNOT6L is necessary for accurate oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET). Transcriptome analysis revealed major transcriptome changes in Cnot6l-/- ovulated eggs and 1-cell zygotes. In contrast, minimal transcriptome changes in preovulatory Cnot6l-/- oocytes were consistent with reported Cnot6l mRNA dormancy. A minimal overlap between transcripts sensitive to decapping inhibition and Cnot6l loss suggests that decapping and CNOT6L-mediated deadenylation selectively target distinct subsets of mRNAs during OET in mouse.
