Red dotted boxes highlight the elevated ADP-ribose staining in Xrcc1Nes-Cre cerebellum (left dotted box) and hippocampus (right doted box). Scale bars: 5 mm, 50 μm.

The tubulation activity of SNX18 is important for its role in autophagy and is regulated by phosphorylation.Figure 5.(A) HeLa GFP-SNX18 cells were starved for the indicated time, followed by incubation in full medium (Refeed) where indicated. Cell lysates were analyzed for LC3 by immunoblotting, or immunoprecipitated with GFP-Trap before immunoblotting against SNX18(pS233) and GFP. The ratio of pS233 to GFP, and the ratio of LC3-II to LC3-I, was quantified, and normalized to 1 for the zero-time sample in both cases (graph shows mean ± SEM [error bars], n = 4; *, P < 0.05). (B) The indicated myc-SNX18 PX-BAR constructs were transfected into HeLa cells, and their tubulation efficiency was measured by scoring the percentage of cells displaying more than three elongated structures longer than 5 µm (n = 300). The graph shows the mean of two independent experiments ± range (error bars). Bars, 10 µm.

Figure 7(A) Cartoon schematic depicting the proposed isodesmic self-association model. KD1 and KD2 represent the domain-mediated dimerization affinities for the BTB domain and BACK domains, respectively. KD2 is identical for all association steps independent of oligomer size. At large oligomer sizes, KD2 may increase due to entropic penalties, resulting in KD2*. The N- and C-termini contain neither defined domains nor low-complexity sequences but may add additional self-association behavior as evidenced by aggregation; these interactions were not dissected due to the poor reversibility of aggregation (Fig EV2B). (B) Experimental weight-average molar mass (Mw) from CG-MALS for SPOP28-359 (orange circles) was fitted to an isodesmic self-association model in which SPOP dimers are the self-associating unit (orange line). The largest SPOP oligomer taken into account was an undecamer of SPOP dimers ((SPOP2)11). The fits from three independent experiments yielded a KD2 of 2.4 ± 0.4 µM. Lines for fits of the data to self-association models that assume formation of individual oligomeric species instead of isodesmic self-association are shown for reference (gray lines). (C) Experimental weight-average molar mass (Mw) from CG-MALS data (circles) and fits (solid lines) are depicted for each SPOP construct assayed, showing that a progressive increase in SPOP oligomer size is observed only when both self-association domains are interaction-competent. This Figure is comprised of data shown in Figures 6D, 7B, and Appendix Fig S5A for direct comparison. (D) Ribbon diagram illustrating structural model of an octamer SPOP assembly. In a 27 µM SPOP solution three percent of the oligomeric assemblies would be equal in size or larger. The domains are colored as in Figures 1 and 7A (MATH, green; BTB, red; BACK, blue), with alternating monomers shown in gray for clarity. The model was built using two available crystal structures (PDB ID 3HQI (Zhuang et al, 2009) and 4HS2 (van Geersdaele et al, 2013)), and no further assumptions.
Figure 3(Top) Representative bright field microscopy images show MEF cells stably expressing WT or NCT mutant GSECs after 24h incubation at 37°C and 42°C. 25µm scale bar is shown. (Bottom) Cell viability determined at the indicated time points is not affected by prolonged (≥ 24h) incubation at 42°C. Data are presented as mean ± SD of 4 replicates. Relative GSEC-APP/Aβn stabilities were assessed in cell-based GSEC thermoactivity assays, which evaluate changes in GSEC processivity (Aβ(38+40)/42 ratio) upon incubation at 42°C for 24h, relative to 37°C. Aβ peptides in the conditioned medium collected from the indicated MEF cell lines (transiently expressing APPC99) were quantified and the Aβ(38+40)/42 ratios determined. The data are shown as mean ± 95% CI, as % of the WT GSEC cell line incubated at 37°C for 24h, N = 6 independent experiments. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post-hoc test with comparison to WT was used to determine the statistical significance (F(DFn, DFd): F(6, 46) = 100); ****p > 0.0001 compared to WT at 37°C, #p > 0.05, ##p>0.01, ####p>0.0001 compared to WT at 42°C. Note: Aβ profiles (including Aβ43 levels) normalized to total Aβ quantified in the cell-based thermoactivity assays with the different mNCT WT/mutants are shown in Figure EV2.

Figure 8A) Wild-type FUS localizes to the nucleus and binds, presumably in conjunction with other hnRNPs, its direct pre-mRNA targets to regulate splicing of minor introns. B) Mutations inactivating the NLS of FUS (= first hit) reduce the nuclear abundance of FUS, resulting in deregulated splicing of the direct targets (i.e. FUS-dependent minor introns), whereas other minor intron-containing mRNAs are not yet affected. C) Over time, due to repeated stress (= second hit), mutant FUS leads to the formation of cytoplasmic aggregates, which further reduces the amount of FUS in the nucleus due to trapping of wild-type FUS in these aggregates along with U11 and U12 snRNAs. This affects now not only the splicing of FUS-dependent minor introns, but leads to a general inhibition of minor intron-containing mRNAs due to the reduction of nuclear U11 and U12 snRNAs.
