    Abstract The actin cytoskeleton is a ubiquitous participant in cellular functions that maintain viability, but how it controls programmed cell death is not well understood. Here we show that in response to DNA damage, human cells form a juxtanuclear F-actin-rich territory that coordinates the organized progression of apoptosome assembly to caspase activation. This cytoskeletal compartment is created by the actin nucleation factors JMY, WHAMM, and the Arp2/3 complex, and it excludes proteins that inhibit JMY and WHAMM activity. Within the territory, mitochondria undergo outer membrane permeabilization and JMY localization overlaps with punctate structures containing the core apoptosome components cytochrome

    Abstract Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that maintains homeostasis, responds to stress, and plays key roles in the prevention of aging and disease. Autophagosome biogenesis, vesicle rocketing, and autolysosome tubulation are controlled by multiple actin nucleation factors, but the impact of actin assembly on completion of the autophagic pathway is not well understood. Here we studied autophagosome and lysosome remodeling in fibroblasts harboring an inducible knockout (iKO) of the Arp2/3 complex, an essential actin nucleator. Arp2/3 complex ablation resulted in increased basal levels of autophagy receptors and lipidated membrane proteins from the LC3 and GABARAP families. Under both steady-state and starvation conditions, Arp2/3 iKO cells accumulated abnormally high numbers of autolysosomes, suggesting a defect in autophagic flux. The inability of Arp2/3 complex-deficient cells to complete autolysosome degradation and turnover is explained by the presence of damaged, leaky lysosomes. In cells treated with an acute lysosomal membrane-damaging agent, the Arp2/3-activating protein WHAMM is recruited to lysosomes, where Arp2/3 complex-dependent actin assembly is crucial for restoring intact lysosomal structure. These results establish the Arp2/3 complex as a central player late in the canonical autophagy pathway and reveal a new role for the actin nucleation machinery in maintaining lysosomal integrity.

    Abstract The actin cytoskeleton impacts practically every function of a eukaryotic cell. Historically, the best-characterized cytoskeletal activities are in cell morphogenesis, motility, and division. The structural and dynamic properties of the actin cytoskeleton are also crucial for establishing, maintaining, and changing the organization of membrane-bound organelles and other intracellular structures. Such activities are important in nearly all animal cells and tissues, although distinct anatomical regions and physiological systems rely on different regulatory factors. Recent work indicates that the Arp2/3 complex, a broadly expressed actin nucleator, drives actin assembly during several intracellular stress response pathways. These newly described Arp2/3-mediated cytoskeletal rearrangements are coordinated by members of the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASP) family of actin nucleation-promoting factors. Thus, the Arp2/3 complex and WASP-family proteins are emerging as crucial players in cytoplasmic and nuclear activities including autophagy, apoptosis, chromatin dynamics, and DNA repair. Characterizations of the functions of the actin assembly machinery in such stress response mechanisms are advancing our understanding of both normal and pathogenic processes, and hold great promise for providing insights into organismal development and interventions for disease.

    Abstract The bacteriophage Lambda (λ) "Red" recombination system has enabled the development of efficient methods for engineering bacterial chromosomes. This system has been particularly important to the field of bacterial pathogenesis, where it has advanced the study of virulence factors from Shiga toxin-producing and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (STEC and EPEC). Transient plasmid-driven expression of Lambda Red allows homologous recombination between PCR-derived linear DNA substrates and target loci in the STEC/EPEC chromosomes. Red-associated techniques can be used to create individual gene knockouts, generate deletions of large pathogenicity islands, and make markerless allelic exchanges. This chapter describes specific strategies and procedures for performing Lambda Red-mediated genome engineering in STEC.

    Abstract The Arp2/3 complex is an actin nucleator with well-characterized activities in cell morphogenesis and movement, but its roles in nuclear processes are relatively understudied. We investigated how the Arp2/3 complex affects genomic integrity and cell cycle progression using mouse fibroblasts containing an inducible knockout (iKO) of the ArpC2 subunit. We show that permanent Arp2/3 complex ablation results in DNA damage, the formation of cytosolic micronuclei, and cellular senescence. Micronuclei arise in ArpC2 iKO cells due to chromatin segregation defects during mitosis and premature mitotic exits. Such phenotypes are explained by the presence of damaged DNA fragments that fail to attach to the mitotic spindle, abnormalities in actin assembly during metaphase, and asymmetric microtubule architecture during anaphase. In the nuclei of Arp2/3-depleted cells, the tumor suppressor p53 is activated and the cell cycle inhibitor Cdkn1a/p21 mediates a G1 arrest. In the cytosol, micronuclei are recognized by the DNA sensor cGAS, which is important for stimulating a STING- and IRF3-associated interferon response. These studies establish functional requirements for the mammalian Arp2/3 complex in mitotic spindle organization and genome stability. They also expand our understanding of the mechanisms leading to senescence and suggest that cytoskeletal dysfunction is an underlying factor in biological aging.
