| Abstrakt: | Actin has essential functions both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, where it has been linked to key nuclear processes, from transcription to DNA damage response. The multifunctional nature of actin suggests that the cell must contain mechanisms to accurately control the cellular actin balance. Indeed, recent results have demonstrated that nuclear actin levels fluctuate to regulate the transcriptional activity of the cell and that controlled nuclear actin polymerization is required for transcription activation, cell cycle progression, and DNA repair. Intriguingly, aberrant nuclear actin regulation has been observed, for example, in cancer, signifying the importance of this process for cellular homeostasis. This review discussed the latest research on how nuclear actin is regulated, and how this influences actin-dependent nuclear processes. |

(Helsingfors universitet, 2016)Aktiini tunnetaan yleisenä soluliman proteiinina, jonka tärkeimpiä tehtäviä ovat muun muassa solun tukirangan muodostus ja osallistuminen liikkeen tuottamiseen solussa yhdessä myosiinien kanssa. Aktiinia esiintyy kuitenkin myös tumassa, jossa sen on osoitettu osallistuvan geenien ilmentymisen säätelyyn sekä itsenäisesti että osana kromatiininmuokkauskomplekseja. Tärkeänä osana tuman aktiinin tutkimusta on selvittää siihen sitoutuvia muita tuman proteiineja. Näiden interaktioiden kautta aktiini voidaan yhdistää uusiin toimintoihin tumassa. Tämän maisterintutkielman tavoitteena on ollut tuottaa ja puhdistaa viittä eri tuman proteiinia, joiden on ehdotettu sitoutuvan aktiiniin ja tutkia puhdistettujen proteiinien sitoutumista aktiiniin sen monomeeri- ja filamenttimuodoissa. Tutkittavat proteiinit olivat aktiinin kaltaiset (actin-related protein: ARP) proteiinit Arp4, Arp5, Arp6 ja Arp8 sekä RNA polymeraasi II:n alayksikkö Rpb8. Tutkimukseen valituista proteiineista Arp4:n ja Rpb8:n tuotto ja puhdistus onnistuivat. Näistä proteiineista kumpikaan ei sitoutunut monomeeriseen aktiiniin korkealla affiniteetilla, mutta Rpb8 vaikutti sitovan aktiinisäikeitä. Aktiinin polymerisaatioon Rpb8 ei sen sijaan vaikuttanut. Tulokset tuovat uusia näkökantoja aiheeseen, sillä aikaisemmin on ajateltu Arp4:n muodostavan aktiinin kanssa heterokompleksin, mitä tämän tutkielman tulokset eivät tue. Rpb8:n sitoutumisesta tuman aktiiniin osana RNA polymeraasi II:sta oli puolestaan aikaisemmin niukasti tietoa, joten tulokset tuovat uutta tietoa aktiinin osuudesta polymeraasin toiminnassa.

(2019)The emerging role of cytoskeletal proteins in the cell nucleus has become a new frontier in cell biology. Actin and actin-binding proteins regulate chromatin and gene expression, but importantly they are beginning to be essential players in genome organization. These actin-based functions contribute to genome stability and integrity while affecting DNA replication and global transcription patterns. This is likely to occur through interactions of actin with nuclear components including nuclear lamina and subnuclear organelles. An exciting future challenge is to understand how these actin-based genome-wide mechanisms may regulate development and differentiation by interfering with the mechanical properties of the cell nucleus and how regulated actin polymerization plays a role in maintaining nuclear architecture. With a special focus on actin, here we summarize how cytoskeletal proteins operate in the nucleus and how they may be important to consolidate nuclear architecture for sustained gene expression or silencing.

Nuclear actin interactome analysis links actin to KAT14 histone acetyl transferase and mRNA splicing (2019)In addition to its essential functions within the cytoskeleton, actin also localizes to the cell nucleus, where it is linked to many important nuclear processes from gene expression to maintenance of genomic integrity. However, the molecular mechanisms by which actin operates in the nucleus remain poorly understood. Here, we have used two complementary mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, AP-MS and BioID, to identify binding partners for nuclear actin. Common high-confidence interactions highlight the role of actin in chromatin-remodeling complexes and identify the histone-modifying complex human Ada-Two-A-containing (hATAC) as a novel actin-containing nuclear complex. Actin binds directly to the hATAC subunit KAT14, and modulates its histone acetyl transferase activity in vitro and in cells. Transient interactions detected through BioID link actin to several steps of transcription as well as to RNA processing. Alterations in nuclear actin levels disturb alternative splicing in minigene assays, likely by affecting the transcription elongation rate. This interactome analysis thus identifies both novel direct binding partners and functional roles for nuclear actin, as well as forms a platform for further mechanistic studies on how actin operates during essential nuclear processes. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.
