    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) may mediate intercellular communication by carrying protein and RNA cargo. The composition, biology, and roles of EVs in physiology and pathology have been primarily studied in the context of biofluids and in cultured mammalian cells. The experimental tractability of C. elegans makes for a powerful in vivo animal system to identify and study EV cargo from its cellular source. We developed an innovative method to label, track, and profile EVs using genetically encoded, fluorescent-tagged EV cargo and conducted a large-scale isolation and proteomic profiling. Nucleic acid binding proteins (∼200) are overrepresented in our dataset. By integrating our EV proteomic dataset with single-cell transcriptomic data, we identified and validated ciliary EV cargo: CD9-like tetraspanin (TSP-6), ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (ENPP-1), minichromosome maintenance protein (MCM-3), and double-stranded RNA transporter SID-2. C. elegans EVs also harbor RNA, suggesting that EVs may play a role in extracellular RNA-based communication.

    Abstract Puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidases are found across phyla and are known to regulate the cell-cycle and play a protective role in neurodegenerative disease. PAM-1 is a puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase important for meiotic exit and polarity establishment in the one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo. Despite conservation of this aminopeptidase, little is known about its targets during development. In order to identify novel interactors, we conducted a suppressor screen and isolated four suppressing mutations in three genes that partially rescued the maternal-effect lethality of pam-1 mutants. Suppressed strains show improved embryonic viability and polarization of the anterior-posterior axis. We identified a missense mutation in wee-1.3 in one of these suppressed strains. WEE-1.3 is an inhibitory kinase that regulates maturation promoting factor. Although the missense mutation suppressed polarity phenotypes in pam-1, it does so without restoring centrosome-cortical contact or altering the cortical actomyosin cytoskeleton. To see if PAM-1 and WEE-1.3 interact in other processes, we examined oocyte maturation. Although depletion of wee-1.3 causes sterility due to precocious oocyte maturation, this effect was lessened in pam-1 worms, suggesting that PAM-1 and WEE-1.3 interact in this process. Levels of WEE-1.3 were comparable between wild-type and pam-1 strains, suggesting that WEE-1.3 is not a direct target of the aminopeptidase. Thus, we have established an interaction between PAM-1 and WEE-1.3 in multiple developmental processes and have identified suppressors that are likely to further our understanding of the role of puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidases during development.
