Abstract 4529: Mapping the protein interactome of mitochondrial intermembrane space proteases identifies a novel function for HTRA2
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Mitochondria possess unique proteases that localize to specific sub-compartments of the organelle. However, the functions of these proteases are largely ill-defined. Here, we used proximity-dependent biotinylation (BioID) to map the interactomes of seven proteases located in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. The mitochondrial intermembrane space proteases HTRA2, OMA1, YME1L1, LACTB, IMMP1L, IMMP2L and PARL were cloned in-frame with the abortive E. coli biotin ligase BirA*, and expressed in 293 T-REx cells. Cell culture media was spiked with biotin for 24 hrs, the cells lysed, and biotinylated proteins were isolated and identified by mass spectrometry. In total, we identified 342 different proteins as high confidence interactors of the seven mitochondrial proteases. Of these, 272 are assigned a GO mitochondrial annotation, and 230 proteins interacted with only 1 or 2 proteases in our dataset. Validation efforts were focused on high temperature requirement peptidase A 2 (HTRA2). HTRA2 is a serine protease that is released into the cytoplasm during apoptosis where it binds Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs). However, little is known about the function of HTRA2 in the mitochondria. HTRA2 interacted with 60 mitochondrial, 11 nuclear and 4 cytoplasmic proteins, including its known interactor XIAP, and consistent with its known localization to these cellular compartments. HTRA2 interacted with 8 out of 13 components of the MIB complex, a multiprotein assembly that is essential for proper mitochondrial cristae formation. Knockdown of HTRA2 with shRNA in 293T-REx cells disrupted cristae formation and this phenotype was rescued by expression of an shRNA-resistant HTRA2 cDNA. Compared to normal hematopoietic cells, HTRA2 mRNA expression levels are increased in a subgroup of primary AML cells. HTRA2 knockdown in OCI-AML2 leukemia cells led to a similar disruption of mitochondrial cristae. Knockdown of HTRA2 in OCI-AML2 cells led to increased levels of the MIB subunit IMMT, but not two other MIB complex subunits, SAMM50 and CHCHD3. Finally, in cell-free assays, we demonstrate that recombinant HTRA2 can degrade recombinant IMMT, but not SAMM50 or CHCHD3.Thus, we have mapped the interactomes of the proteases of the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Through this effort, we discovered that HTRA2 regulates protein levels of the MIB complex subunit IMMT and that disruption of this process affects mitochondrial cristae formation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
