Article Title: Myddosome clustering in IL ‐1 receptor signaling regulates the formation of an NF‐kB activating signalosome

doi: 10.15252/embr.202357233

Figure Lengend Snippet: A Timelapse TIRF microscopy images showing an EL4‐MyD88‐GFP cell interacting with a IL‐1 functionalized SLB. MyD88‐GFP assembles into puncta that cluster and coalesce at the cell:SLB interface. Scale bar, 2 μm. B Schematic illustrating a working model for Myddosomes being tethered to the plasma membrane via interaction with IL‐1R bound to IL‐1. Based on this model, we predict physical barriers (on grid) would restrict the diffusion of IL‐1 on the SLB and limit Myddosome clustering. With no external barriers present (off grid), MyD88 puncta can merge to form larger multicomplex assemblies. C TIRF and bright‐field microscopy images of EL4‐MyD88‐GFP cells incubated for 30 min with IL‐1 functionalized SLBs formed off grid and on 1 and 2.5 μm grids. In the presence of a 1 and 2.5 μm grids, Myddosomes only coalesce within individual corrals and do not form multicomplex clusters. Scale bar, 5 μm. D Time series showing Myddosome formation in an EL4 cell interacting with both continuous and 2.5 μm gridded partitioned SLBs. t = 0 s denotes the start of cellular observation. Scale bar, 5 μm. E Kymographs from panel (D) showing the coalescence of MyD88‐GFP puncta off grid and the restricted movement of MyD88‐GFP puncta on 2.5 μm grids. Scale bar, 1 μm. F Quantification of MyD88‐GFP puncta maximum fluorescence intensity normalized to GFP from cells stimulated off and on 2.5 or 1 μm grids, at a ligand density of 10 IL‐1/μm 2 . Violin plots show the distribution of average max puncta intensities from individual cells across replicates. Data points superimposed on the violin plots are the averages from independent experimental replicates. The average max MyD88 puncta intensity (mean ± SEM): for off grid is 7.5 ± 1.8 GFPs, n = 8 biological replicates, with 88,304 MyD88‐GFP puncta from 161 cells measured in total across all replicates; for 2.5 μm grids is 5.2 ± 1.7 GFPs, n = 3 biological replicates, with 13,164 MyD88‐GFP puncta from 31 cells measured in total across all replicates; for 1 μm grids is 2.3 ± 0.1 GFPs, n = 8 biological replicates, with 126,600 MyD88‐GFP puncta from 254 cells measured in total across all replicates.

Violin plots show the distribution of measurements from individual cells. Data points superimposed on the violin plots are the averages from independent experiments. The RelA nucleus‐to‐cytoplasm ratio of single cells marked with X in panel (G) is superimposed on the violin plot. RelA nucleus‐to‐cytoplasm ratio off grids, on 2.5 and 1 μm grids, and unstimulated conditions are 0.45 ± 0.01, 0.34 ± 0.02, 0.32 ± 0.02, 0.21 ± 0.03 (mean ± SEM), respectively. The P ‐value are * = 0.0133 and ** = 0.0027. Bars represent mean ± SEM ( n = 3–5 biological replicates, with a total of 18,370, 3,627, 2,988, and 965 cells measured off grids, on 2.5 and 1 μm grids, and unstimulated conditions, respectively).

Article Title: Myddosome clustering in IL ‐1 receptor signaling regulates the formation of an NF‐kB activating signalosome

doi: 10.15252/embr.202357233

Figure Lengend Snippet: TIRF images of fixed EL4‐MyD88‐GFP cells off grids and stained with antibodies against K63‐Ub, M1‐Ub, pIKK, and pp65. Cells were activated on IL‐1 functionalized SLBs for 30 min before fixation. Scale bar, 5 μm. A magnified view of the large patch‐like Myddosome clusters from the highlighted region of interest in panel (A) (yellow box on merge images). Scale bar, 1 μm. Structured illumination microscopy images of Myddosome clusters stained with anti‐pIKK. Top row right, insets show the detail of Myddosome staining with anti‐pIKK. Inset taken from regions of interest overlaid the merge image (yellow boxes 1 and 2). Bottom row, x‐z view slice taken from yellow line overlaid on the merge image (top row). Myddosome and pIKK staining localize the cell–SLB interface. Blue dashed line defines the nucleus volume determined from the DAPI stain. Scale bar in main image and Z projection, 1 μm; scale bar inset, 0.5 μm. Schematic showing working model for how Myddosome clustering could enhance the generation of K63/M1‐Ub, pIKK, and pp65 and a NF‐kB signalosome. We hypothesize that the Myddosome clustering creates regions with a high density of complexes, and this will lead to enhanced production of signaling intermediates such as K63‐Ub and M1‐Ub chains, pIKK and pp65.
