    Abstract: Retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I) senses viral RNAs and triggers innate antiviral responses through induction of type I IFNs and inflammatory cytokines. However, whether RIG-I interacts with host cellular RNA remains undetermined. Here we report that Rig-I interacts with multiple cellular mRNAs, especially Nf-κb1 . Rig-I is required for NF-κB activity via regulating Nf-κb1 expression at posttranscriptional levels. It interacts with the multiple binding sites within 3′-UTR of Nf-κb1 mRNA. Further analyses reveal that three distinct tandem motifs enriched in the 3′-UTR fragments can be recognized by Rig-I. The 3′-UTR binding with Rig-I plays a critical role in normal translation of Nf-κb1 by recruiting the ribosomal proteins [ribosomal protein L13 (Rpl13) and Rpl8] and rRNAs (18S and 28S). Down-regulation of Rig-I or Rpl13 significantly reduces Nf-κb1 and 3′-UTR–mediated luciferase expression levels. These findings indicate that Rig-I functions as a positive regulator for NF-κB signaling and is involved in multiple biological processes in addition to host antivirus immunity.

    Abstract: Whole-exome sequencing has been successful in identifying genetic factors contributing to familial or sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, this approach has not been applied to explore the impact of de novo mutations on PD pathogenesis. Here, we sequenced the exomes of 39 early onset patients, their parents, and 20 unaffected siblings to investigate the effects of de novo mutations on PD. We identified 12 genes with de novo mutations ( MAD1L1 , NUP98 , PPP2CB , PKMYT1 , TRIM24 , CEP131 , CTTNBP2 , NUS1 , SMPD3 , MGRN1 , IFI35 , and RUSC2 ), which could be functionally relevant to PD pathogenesis. Further analyses of two independent case-control cohorts (1,852 patients and 1,565 controls in one cohort and 3,237 patients and 2,858 controls in the other) revealed that NUS1 harbors significantly more rare nonsynonymous variants ( P = 1.01E-5, odds ratio = 11.3) in PD patients than in controls. Functional studies in Drosophila demonstrated that the loss of NUS1 could reduce the climbing ability, dopamine level, and number of dopaminergic neurons in 30-day-old flies and could induce apoptosis in fly brain. Together, our data suggest that de novo mutations could contribute to early onset PD pathogenesis and identify NUS1 as a candidate gene for PD.

    Abstract: The slow-evolving invertebrate amphioxus has an irreplaceable role in advancing our understanding of the vertebrate origin and innovations. Here we resolve the nearly complete chromosomal genomes of three amphioxus species, one of which best recapitulates the 17 chordate ancestor linkage groups. We reconstruct the fusions, retention, or rearrangements between descendants of whole-genome duplications, which gave rise to the extant microchromosomes likely existed in the vertebrate ancestor. Similar to vertebrates, the amphioxus genome gradually establishes its three-dimensional chromatin architecture at the onset of zygotic activation and forms two topologically associated domains at the Hox gene cluster. We find that all three amphioxus species have ZW sex chromosomes with little sequence differentiation, and their putative sex-determining regions are nonhomologous to each other. Our results illuminate the unappreciated interspecific diversity and developmental dynamics of amphioxus genomes and provide high-quality references for understanding the mechanisms of chordate functional genome evolution.

    Abstract: To accomplish concerted physiological reactions, nature has diversified functions of a single hormone at at least two primary levels: 1) Different receptors recognize the same hormone, and 2) different cellular effectors couple to the same hormone–receptor pair [R.P. Xiao, Sci STKE 2001 , re15 (2001); L. Hein, J. D. Altman, B.K. Kobilka, Nature 402 , 181–184 (1999); Y. Daaka, L. M. Luttrell, R. J. Lefkowitz, Nature 390 , 88–91 (1997)]. Not only these questions lie in the heart of hormone actions and receptor signaling but also dissecting mechanisms underlying these questions could offer therapeutic routes for refractory diseases, such as kidney injury (KI) or X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). Here, we identified that G s -biased signaling, but not G i activation downstream of EP4, showed beneficial effects for both KI and NDI treatments. Notably, by solving Cryo-electron microscope (cryo-EM) structures of EP3-G i , EP4-G s , and EP4-G i in complex with endogenous prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 )or two synthetic agonists and comparing with PGE 2 -EP2-G s structures, we found that unique primary sequences of prostaglandin E2 receptor (EP) receptors and distinct conformational states of the EP4 ligand pocket govern the G s /G i transducer coupling selectivity through different structural propagation paths, especially via TM6 and TM7, to generate selective cytoplasmic structural features. In particular, the orientation of the PGE 2 ω-chain and two distinct pockets encompassing agonist L902688 of EP4 were differentiated by their G s /G i coupling ability. Further, we identified common and distinct features of cytoplasmic side of EP receptors for G s /G i coupling and provide a structural basis for selective and biased agonist design of EP4 with therapeutic potential.

    Abstract: Insects have evolved effectors to conquer plant defense. Most known insect effectors are isolated from sucking insects, and examples from chewing insects are limited. Moreover, the targets of insect effectors in host plants remain unknown. Here, we address a chewing insect effector and its working mechanism. Cotton bollworm ( Helicoverpa armigera ) is a lepidopteran insect widely existing in nature and severely affecting crop productivity. We isolated an effector named HARP1 from H. armigera oral secretion (OS). HARP1 was released from larvae to plant leaves during feeding and entered into the plant cells through wounding sites. Expression of HARP1 in Arabidopsis mitigated the global expression of wounding and jasmonate (JA) responsive genes and rendered the plants more susceptible to insect feeding. HARP1 directly interacted with JASMONATE-ZIM-domain (JAZ) repressors to prevent the COI1-mediated JAZ degradation, thus blocking JA signaling transduction. HARP1-like proteins have conserved function as effectors in noctuidae, and these types of effectors might contribute to insect adaptation to host plants during coevolution.

    Abstract: In adaptive immunity, organisms produce neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) to eliminate invading pathogens. Here, we explored whether viral neutralization could be attained through the physical disruption of a virus upon nAb binding. We report the neutralization mechanism of a potent nAb 8C11 against the hepatitis E virus (HEV), a nonenveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus associated with abundant acute hepatitis. The 8C11 binding flanks the protrusion spike of the HEV viruslike particles (VLPs) and leads to tremendous physical collision between the antibody and the capsid, dissociating the VLPs into homodimer species within 2 h. Cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of the dissociation intermediates at an earlier (15-min) stage revealed smeared protrusion spikes and a loss of icosahedral symmetry with the capsid core remaining unchanged. This structural disruption leads to the presence of only a few native HEV virions in the ultracentrifugation pellet and exposes the viral genome. Conceptually, we propose a strategy to raise collision-inducing nAbs against single spike moieties that feature in the context of the entire pathogen at positions where the neighboring space cannot afford to accommodate an antibody. This rationale may facilitate unique vaccine development and antimicrobial antibody design.

    Neural transcription factor Pou4f1 promotes renal fibrosis via macrophage–myofibroblast transition

    Abstract: Unresolved inflammation can lead to tissue fibrosis and impaired organ function. Macrophage–myofibroblast transition (MMT) is one newly identified mechanism by which ongoing chronic inflammation causes progressive fibrosis in different forms of kidney disease. However, the mechanisms underlying MMT are still largely unknown. Here, we discovered a brain-specific homeobox/POU domain protein Pou4f1 (Brn3a) as a specific regulator of MMT. Interestingly, we found that Pou4f1 is highly expressed by macrophages undergoing MMT in sites of fibrosis in human and experimental kidney disease, identified by coexpression of the myofibroblast marker, α-SMA. Unexpectedly, Pou4f1 expression peaked in the early stage in renal fibrogenesis in vivo and during MMT of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) in vitro. Mechanistically, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay identified that Pou4f1 is a Smad3 target and the key downstream regulator of MMT, while microarray analysis defined a Pou4f1-dependent fibrogenic gene network for promoting TGF-β1/Smad3-driven MMT in BMDMs at the transcriptional level. More importantly, using two mouse models of progressive renal interstitial fibrosis featuring the MMT process, we demonstrated that adoptive transfer of TGF-β1-stimulated BMDMs restored both MMT and renal fibrosis in macrophage-depleted mice, which was prevented by silencing Pou4f1 in transferred BMDMs. These findings establish a role for Pou4f1 in MMT and renal fibrosis and suggest that Pou4f1 may be a therapeutic target for chronic kidney disease with progressive renal fibrosis.

    Abstract: The expansion of anatomically modern humans (AMHs) from Africa around 65,000 to 45,000 y ago (ca. 65 to 45 ka) led to the establishment of present-day non-African populations. Some paleoanthropologists have argued that fossil discoveries from Huanglong, Zhiren, Luna, and Fuyan caves in southern China indicate one or more prior dispersals, perhaps as early as ca. 120 ka. We investigated the age of the human remains from three of these localities and two additional early AMH sites (Yangjiapo and Sanyou caves, Hubei) by combining ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis with a multimethod geological dating strategy. Although U–Th dating of capping flowstones suggested they lie within the range ca. 168 to 70 ka, analyses of aDNA and direct AMS 14 C dating on human teeth from Fuyan and Yangjiapo caves showed they derive from the Holocene. OSL dating of sediments and AMS 14 C analysis of mammal teeth and charcoal also demonstrated major discrepancies from the flowstone ages; the difference between them being an order of magnitude or more at most of these localities. Our work highlights the surprisingly complex depositional history recorded at these subtropical caves which involved one or more episodes of erosion and redeposition or intrusion as recently as the late Holocene. In light of our findings, the first appearance datum for AMHs in southern China should probably lie within the timeframe set by molecular data of ca. 50 to 45 ka.

    Abstract: Inducible regulatory T (iTreg) cells play a crucial role in immune suppression and are important for the maintenance of immune homeostasis. Mounting evidence has demonstrated connections between iTreg differentiation and metabolic reprogramming, especially rewiring in fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Previous work showed that butyrate, a specific type of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) readily produced from fiber-rich diets through microbial fermentation, was critical for the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis and capable of promoting iTreg generation by up-regulating histone acetylation for gene expression as an HDAC inhibitor. Here, we revealed that butyrate could also accelerate FAO to facilitate iTreg differentiation. Moreover, butyrate was converted, by acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 2 (ACSS2), into butyryl-CoA (BCoA), which up-regulated CPT1A activity through antagonizing the association of malonyl-CoA (MCoA), the best known metabolic intermediate inhibiting CPT1A, to promote FAO and thereby iTreg differentiation. Mutation of CPT1A at Arg243, a reported amino acid required for MCoA association, impaired both MCoA and BCoA binding, indicating that Arg243 is probably the responsible site for MCoA and BCoA association. Furthermore, blocking BCoA formation by ACSS2 inhibitor compromised butyrate-mediated iTreg generation and mitigation of mouse colitis. Together, we unveil a previously unappreciated role for butyrate in iTreg differentiation and illustrate butyrate–BCoA–CPT1A axis for the regulation of immune homeostasis.

    Abstract: Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signal transduction is a critical mediator of the immune response. JAK2 is implicated in the onset of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which is a significant cause of transplant-related mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Transfer of JAK2 −/− donor T cells to allogeneic recipients leads to attenuated GVHD yet maintains graft-versus-leukemia. Th1 differentiation among JAK2 −/− T cells is significantly decreased compared with wild-type controls. Conversely, iTreg and Th2 polarization is significantly increased among JAK2 −/− T cells. Pacritinib is a multikinase inhibitor with potent activity against JAK2. Pacritinib significantly reduces GVHD and xenogeneic skin graft rejection in distinct rodent models and maintains donor antitumor immunity. Moreover, pacritinib spares iTregs and polarizes Th2 responses as observed among JAK2 −/− T cells. Collectively, these data clearly identify JAK2 as a therapeutic target to control donor alloreactivity and promote iTreg responses after allo-HCT or solid organ transplantation. As such, a phase I/II acute GVHD prevention trial combining pacritinib with standard immune suppression after allo-HCT is actively being investigated ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02891603 ).
