Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) is an underlying feature of diverse conditions including neurodegeneration. Cells respond by extensive ubiquitylation of membrane-associated proteins for clearance of the organelle through lysophagy that is facilitated by the ubiquitin-directed AAA-ATPase VCP/p97. Here, we assessed the ubiquitylated proteome upon acute LMP and uncovered a large diversity of targets and lysophagy regulators. They include calponin-2 (CNN2) that, along with the Arp2/3 complex, ...

The founding member of the F-box protein family, Cyclin F, serves as substrate adaptor for the Ubiquitin E3 ligase Skp1-Cul1-F-box (SCF)Cyclin F which is responsible for ubiquitination of proteins involved in cell cycle progression, DNA damage and mitotic fidelity. Missense mutations in CCNF encoding for Cyclin F are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, it remains elusive whether CCNF mutations affect the substrate adaptor function of Cyclin F and whether altered SCFCyclin ...

To address whether expression of ALS/FTD-associated UBQLN2 mutant variants changes the cellular proteome, we performed label-free quantification-based global protein abundance profiling of patient-derived LCLs and CRISPR engineered HeLa cells. UBQLN2 mutant in both cell lines carried the mutation T487I or P497S both of which were reported to cause ALS (Deng et al., 2011; Williams et al, 2012). In addition, HeLa cells stably expressing HA-tagged MAP1B (HA-MAP1B) were subjected to HA immunoprecipitation ...

In the project “Phosphoproteomic analysis of UBQLN2 mutant cells” by Laura Strohm, Zehan Hu, Jörn Dengjel, and Christian Behrends eight sets of SILAC experiments were performed, two times four biological replicates, comparing proteome and phosphoproteome of control and UBQLN2 mutant, patient-derived lymphoblasts (LCLs).

CD4+ T cells orchestrate both humoral and cytotoxic immune responses. While it is known that CD4+ T cell proliferation relies on autophagy, direct identification of the autophagosomal cargo involved is still missing. Here, we created a transgenic mouse model, which, for the first time, enables us to directly map the proteinaceous content of autophagosomes in any primary cell by LC3 proximity labelling. IL-7Rα, a cytokine receptor mostly found in naïve and memory T cells, was reproducibly detected ...

C9orf72 binds SMCR8 to from a robust complex that regulates small GTPases, lysosomal integrity and autophagy. In contrast to this functional understanding, we know far less about assembly and turnover of the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex. Loss of either subunit causes the concurrent ablation of the respective partner. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this interdependence remains elusive.

In the context of studying the role of the COP9 signalosome (CSN) in neuroinflammation and ischemic neuronal damage, we studied the effect of the cullin NEDDylation state-modifying drugs MLN4924 and CSN5i-3 in BV2 microglial cells, an immortalized murine cell line featuring many of the characteristics of primary microglia. Owing to its potent inhibitory effect on the NEDDylation cascade, MLN4924 exhibits a CSN5-like anti-inflammatory activity. Csn5i-3 is a small molecule inhibitor that specifically ...
