    Abstract BACKGROUND: The ability of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) to migrate and localize specifically to injured tissues is central in developing therapeutic strategies for tissue repair and regeneration. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface serine protease expressed at sites of tissue remodeling during embryonic development. It is also expressed in BM-MSCs, but not in normal tissues or cells. The function of FAP in BM-MSCs is not known. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We found that depletion of FAP proteins significantly inhibited the migration of BM-MSCs in a transwell chemotaxis assay. Such impaired migration ability of BM-MSCs could be rescued by re-expressing FAP in these cells. We then demonstrated that depletion of FAP activated intracellular RhoA GTPase. Consistently, inhibition of RhoA activity using a RhoA inhibitor rescued its migration ability. Inhibition of FAP activity with an FAP-specific inhibitor did not affect the activation of RhoA or the migration of BM-MSCs. Furthermore, the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) upregulated FAP expression, which coincided with better BM-MSC migration. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate FAP plays an important role in the migration of BM-MSCs through modulation of RhoA GTPase activity. The peptidase activity of FAP is not essential for such migration. Cytokines IL-1β and TGF-β upregulate the expression level of FAP and thus enhance BM-MSC migration.

    Abstract Autophagy, a cellular self-eating mechanism, is important for maintaining cell survival and tissue homeostasis in various stressed conditions. Although the molecular mechanism of autophagy induction has been well studied, how cells terminate autophagy process remains elusive. Here, we show that ULK1, a serine/threonine kinase critical for autophagy initiation, is a substrate of the Cul3-KLHL20 ubiquitin ligase. Upon autophagy induction, ULK1 autophosphorylation facilitates its recruitment to KLHL20 for ubiquitination and proteolysis. This autophagy-stimulated, KLHL20-dependent ULK1 degradation restrains the amplitude and duration of autophagy. Additionally, KLHL20 governs the degradation of ATG13, VPS34, Beclin-1, and ATG14 in prolonged starvation through a direct or indirect mechanism. Impairment of KLHL20-mediated regulation of autophagy dynamics potentiates starvation-induced cell death and aggravates diabetes-associated muscle atrophy. Our study identifies a key role of KLHL20 in autophagy termination by controlling autophagy-dependent turnover of ULK1 and VPS34 complex subunits and reveals the pathophysiological functions of this autophagy termination mechanism.

    Abstract Ubiquitin chains are formed as structurally distinct polymers via different linkages, and several chain types including K33-linkage remain uncharacterized. Here, we describe a role for K33-polyubiquitination in protein trafficking. We show that the Cullin 3 (Cul3) substrate adaptor KLHL20 is localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is important for post-Golgi trafficking by promoting the biogenesis of TGN-derived transport carriers. The Cul3-KLHL20 ubiquitin E3 ligase catalyzes a nondegradable, K33-linked polyubiquitination on coronin 7 (Crn7), which facilitates Crn7 targeting to TGN through a ubiquitin-dependent interaction with Eps15. Blockage of K33-chain formation, Crn7 ubiquitination, or disruption of Crn7-Eps15 interaction impairs TGN-pool F-actin assembly, a process essential for generating transport carriers. Enforced targeting of Crn7 to TGN bypasses the requirement of K33-ubiquitination for TGN-pool F-actin assembly and post-Golgi trafficking. Our study reveals a role of KLHL20-mediated K33-ubiquitination of Crn7 in post-Golgi transport and identifies a cellular recognition mechanism for this ubiquitin chain type.
