Powdery mildew effectors AVR A1 and BEC1016 target the ER J-domain protein HvERdj3B required for immunity in barley. MOLECULAR PLANT PATHOLOGY 2024; 25:e13463. [PMID: 38695677 PMCID: PMC11064805 DOI: 10.1111/mpp.13463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
The barley powdery mildew fungus, Blumeria hordei (Bh), secretes hundreds of candidate secreted effector proteins (CSEPs) to facilitate pathogen infection and colonization. One of these, CSEP0008, is directly recognized by the barley nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NLR) receptor MLA1 and therefore is designated AVRA1. Here, we show that AVRA1 and the sequence-unrelated Bh effector BEC1016 (CSEP0491) suppress immunity in barley. We used yeast two-hybrid next-generation interaction screens (Y2H-NGIS), followed by binary Y2H and in planta protein-protein interactions studies, and identified a common barley target of AVRA1 and BEC1016, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized J-domain protein HvERdj3B. Silencing of this ER quality control (ERQC) protein increased Bh penetration. HvERdj3B is ER luminal, and we showed using split GFP that AVRA1 and BEC1016 translocate into the ER signal peptide-independently. Overexpression of the two effectors impeded trafficking of a vacuolar marker through the ER; silencing of HvERdj3B also exhibited this same cellular phenotype, coinciding with the effectors targeting this ERQC component. Together, these results suggest that the barley innate immunity, preventing Bh entry into epidermal cells, requires ERQC. Here, the J-domain protein HvERdj3B appears to be essential and can be regulated by AVRA1 and BEC1016. Plant disease resistance often occurs upon direct or indirect recognition of pathogen effectors by host NLR receptors. Previous work has shown that AVRA1 is directly recognized in the cytosol by the immune receptor MLA1. We speculate that the AVRA1 J-domain target being inside the ER, where it is inapproachable by NLRs, has forced the plant to evolve this challenging direct recognition.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-coupled cellular thermal shift assay (MS-CETSA), a biophysical principle-based technique that measures the thermal stability of proteins at the proteome level inside the cell, has contributed significantly to the understanding of drug mechanisms of action and the dissection of protein interaction dynamics in different cellular states. One of the barriers to the wide applications of MS-CETSA is that MS-CETSA experiments must be performed on the specific cell lines of interest, which is typically time-consuming and costly in terms of labeling reagents and mass spectrometry time. In this study, we aim to predict CETSA features in various cell lines by introducing a computational framework called CycleDNN based on deep neural network technology. For a given set of n cell lines, CycleDNN comprises n auto-encoders. Each auto-encoder includes an encoder to convert CETSA features from one cell line into latent features in a latent space [Formula: see text]. It also features a decoder that transforms the latent features back into CETSA features for another cell line. In such a way, the proposed CycleDNN creates a cyclic prediction of CETSA features across different cell lines. The prediction loss, cycle-consistency loss, and latent space regularization loss are used to guide the model training. Experimental results on a public CETSA dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach. Furthermore, we confirm the validity of the predicted MS-CETSA data from our proposed CycleDNN through validation in protein-protein interaction prediction.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2023; 45:8215-8226.

Abstract
TNFAIP1 regulates cellular biological functions, including DNA replication, DNA repair, and cell cycle, by binding to target proteins. Identification of Tnfaip1-interacting proteins contributes to the understanding of the molecular regulatory mechanisms of their biological functions. In this study, 48 hpf, 72 hpf, and 96 hpf wild-type zebrafish embryo mRNAs were used to construct yeast cDNA library. The library titer was 1.12 × 107 CFU/mL, the recombination rate was 100%, and the average length of the inserted fragments was greater than 1000 bp. A total of 43 potential interacting proteins of Tnfaip1 were identified using zebrafish Tnfaip1 as a bait protein. Utilizing GO functional annotation and KEGG signaling pathway analysis, we found that these interacting proteins are mainly involved in translation, protein catabolic process, ribosome assembly, cytoskeleton formation, amino acid metabolism, and PPAR signaling pathway. Further yeast spotting analyses identified four interacting proteins of Tnfaip1, namely, Ubxn7, Tubb4b, Rpl10, and Ybx1. The Tnfaip1-interacting proteins, screened from zebrafish embryo cDNA in this study, increased our understanding of the network of Tnfaip1-interacting proteins during the earliest embryo development and provided a molecular foundation for the future exploration of tnfaip1's biological functions.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) regulate many cellular processes, and engineered PPIs have cell and gene therapy applications. Here we introduce massively parallel protein-protein interaction measurement by sequencing (MP3-seq), an easy-to-use and highly scalable yeast-two-hybrid approach for measuring PPIs. In MP3-seq, DNA barcodes are associated with specific protein pairs, and barcode enrichment can be read by sequencing to provide a direct measure of interaction strength. We show that MP3-seq is highly quantitative and scales to over 100,000 interactions. We apply MP3-seq to characterize interactions between families of rationally designed heterodimers and to investigate elements conferring specificity to coiled-coil interactions. Finally, we predict coiled heterodimer structures using AlphaFold-Multimer (AF-M) and train linear models on physics simulation energy terms to predict MP3-seq values. We find that AF-M and AF-M complex prediction-based models could be valuable for pre-screening interactions, but that measuring interactions experimentally remains necessary to rank their strengths quantitatively.

Abstract
Yeast two-hybrid next-generation interaction screening (Y2H-NGIS) uses the output of next-generation sequencing to mine for novel protein-protein interactions. Here, we outline the analytics underlying Y2H-NGIS datasets. Different systems, libraries, and experimental designs comprise Y2H-NGIS methodologies. We summarize the analysis in several layers that comprise the characterization of baits and preys, quantification, and identification of true interactions for subsequent secondary validation. We present two software designed for this purpose, NGPINT and Y2H-SCORES, which are used as front-end and back-end tools in the analysis. Y2H-SCORES software can be used and adapted to analyze different datasets not only from Y2H-NGIS but from other techniques ruled by similar biological principles.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has elucidated major limitations in the capacity of medical and research institutions to appropriately manage emerging infectious diseases. We can improve our understanding of infectious diseases by unveiling virus-host interactions through host range prediction and protein-protein interaction prediction. Although many algorithms have been developed to predict virus-host interactions, numerous issues remain to be solved, and the entire network remains veiled. In this review, we comprehensively surveyed algorithms used to predict virus-host interactions. We also discuss the current challenges, such as dataset biases toward highly pathogenic viruses, and the potential solutions. The complete prediction of virus-host interactions remains difficult; however, bioinformatics can contribute to progress in research on infectious diseases and human health.

Abstract
Yeast two-hybrid is a powerful approach to discover new protein-protein interactions. Traditional methods involve screening a target protein against a cDNA expression library and assaying individual positive colonies to identify interacting partners. Here we describe a simple approach to perform yeast two-hybrid screens of a cDNA expression library in batch liquid culture. Positive yeast cell populations are enriched under selection and then harvested en masse. Prey cDNAs are amplified and used as input for next-generation sequencing libraries for identification, quantification, and ranking.

Abstract
Cellular biomolecular complexes including protein-protein, protein-RNA, and protein-DNA interactions regulate and execute most biological functions. In particular in brain, protein-protein interactions (PPIs) mediate or regulate virtually all nerve cell functions, such as neurotransmission, cell-cell communication, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Perturbations of PPIs in specific subsets of neurons and glia are thought to underly a majority of neurobiological disorders. Therefore, understanding biological functions at a cellular level requires a reasonably complete catalog of all physical interactions between proteins. An enzyme-catalyzed method to biotinylate proximal interacting proteins within 10 to 300 nm of each other is being increasingly used to characterize the spatiotemporal features of complex PPIs in brain. Thus, proximity labeling has emerged recently as a powerful tool to identify proteomes in distinct cell types in brain as well as proteomes and PPIs in structures difficult to isolate, such as the synaptic cleft, axonal projections, or astrocyte-neuron junctions. In this review, we summarize recent advances in proximity labeling methods and their application to neurobiology.

Abstract
Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) regulates cellular life processes, including defense responses against infection by a variety of viral pathogens, by binding to target proteins. At present, various fish ISG15s have been identified, but the biological function of ISG15 in snakehead fish is still unclear. In this study, total RNA was extracted from snakehead fish cell line E11, ds cDNA was synthesized and purified using SMART technology, and the resulting cDNA library was screened by co-transforming yeast cells. The library titer was 4.28 × 109 CFU/mL. Using snakehead ISG15 as the bait protein, the recombinant bait vector pGBKT7-ISG15 was constructed and transformed into the yeast strain Y2HGold. The toxicity and self-activation activity of the bait vector were detected on the deficient medium, and the prey proteins interacting with ISG15 were screened. In total, 19 interacting proteins of ISG15 were identified, including mitotic checkpoint protein BUB3, hypothetical protein SnRVgp6, elongation factor 1-beta, 60S ribosomal protein L9, dual specificity protein phosphatase 5-like, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit I and ferritin. A yeast spotting assay further probed the interaction between ISG15 and DUSP5. These results increase our understanding of the interaction network of snakehead ISG15 and will aid in exploring the underlying mechanisms of snakehead ISG15 functions in the future.

Abstract
The barley MLA nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NLR) receptor and its orthologs confer recognition specificity to many fungal diseases, including powdery mildew, stem-, and stripe rust. We used interolog inference to construct a barley protein interactome (Hordeum vulgare predicted interactome, HvInt) comprising 66,133 edges and 7,181 nodes, as a foundation to explore signaling networks associated with MLA. HvInt was compared with the experimentally validated Arabidopsis interactome of 11,253 proteins and 73,960 interactions, verifying that the 2 networks share scale-free properties, including a power-law distribution and small-world network. Then, by successive layering of defense-specific "omics" datasets, HvInt was customized to model cellular response to powdery mildew infection. Integration of HvInt with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) enabled us to infer disease modules and responses associated with fungal penetration and haustorial development. Next, using HvInt and infection-time-course RNA sequencing of immune signaling mutants, we assembled resistant and susceptible subnetworks. The resulting differentially coexpressed (resistant - susceptible) interactome is essential to barley immunity, facilitates the flow of signaling pathways and is linked to mildew resistance locus a (Mla) through trans eQTL associations. Lastly, we anchored HvInt with new and previously identified interactors of the MLA coiled coli + nucleotide-binding domains and extended these to additional MLA alleles, orthologs, and NLR outgroups to predict receptor localization and conservation of signaling response. These results link genomic, transcriptomic, and physical interactions during MLA-specified immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gene annotation in eukaryotes is a non-trivial task that requires meticulous analysis of accumulated transcript data. Challenges include transcriptionally active regions of the genome that contain overlapping genes, genes that produce numerous transcripts, transposable elements and numerous diverse sequence repeats. Currently available gene annotation software applications depend on pre-constructed full-length gene sequence assemblies which are not guaranteed to be error-free. The origins of these sequences are often uncertain, making it difficult to identify and rectify errors in them. This hinders the creation of an accurate and holistic representation of the transcriptomic landscape across multiple tissue types and experimental conditions. Therefore, to gauge the extent of diversity in gene structures, a comprehensive analysis of genome-wide expression data is imperative. RESULTS We present FINDER, a fully automated computational tool that optimizes the entire process of annotating genes and transcript structures. Unlike current state-of-the-art pipelines, FINDER automates the RNA-Seq pre-processing step by working directly with raw sequence reads and optimizes gene prediction from BRAKER2 by supplementing these reads with associated proteins. The FINDER pipeline (1) reports transcripts and recognizes genes that are expressed under specific conditions, (2) generates all possible alternatively spliced transcripts from expressed RNA-Seq data, (3) analyzes read coverage patterns to modify existing transcript models and create new ones, and (4) scores genes as high- or low-confidence based on the available evidence across multiple datasets. We demonstrate the ability of FINDER to automatically annotate a diverse pool of genomes from eight species. CONCLUSIONS FINDER takes a completely automated approach to annotate genes directly from raw expression data. It is capable of processing eukaryotic genomes of all sizes and requires no manual supervision-ideal for bench researchers with limited experience in handling computational tools.
