Aneuploidy, or aberrant chromosomal content, disrupts cellular proteostasis through altered expression of numerous proteins. Aneuploid cells accumulate SQSTM1/p62-positive cytosolic bodies, exhibit impaired protein folding, and show altered proteasomal and lysosomal activity. Here, we employ p62 proximity- and affinity-based proteomics to elucidate p62 interactors in aneuploid cells and observe an enrichment of mitochondrial proteins. Increased protein aggregation and colocalization of p62 with both novel interactors and mitochondrial proteins is further confirmed by microscopy. Compared to parental diploids, aneuploid cells suffer from mitochondrial defects, including perinuclearly-clustered mitochondrial networks, elevated reactive oxygen species levels, reduced mitochondrial DNA abundance, and impaired protein import, leading to cytosolic accumulation of mitochondrial precursor proteins. Overexpression of heat shock proteins in aneuploid cells mitigates protein aggregation and decreases the colocalization of p62 with the mitochondrial protein TOMM20. Thus, proteotoxic stress caused by chromosome gains results in the sequestration of mitochondrial precursor proteins into cytosolic p62-bodies, thereby compromising mitochondrial function.
非整倍体,即染色体含量异常,通过改变众多蛋白质的表达来破坏细胞蛋白质稳态。非整倍体细胞积累SQSTM1/p62阳性胞质小体,表现出蛋白质折叠受损,并显示蛋白酶体和溶酶体活性改变。在这里,我们采用基于p62邻近性和亲和力的蛋白质组学来阐明非整倍体细胞中的p62相互作用蛋白,并观察到线粒体蛋白的富集。显微镜检查进一步证实了蛋白质聚集增加以及p62与新的相互作用蛋白和线粒体蛋白的共定位。与亲代二倍体细胞相比,非整倍体细胞存在线粒体缺陷,包括核周聚集的线粒体网络、活性氧水平升高、线粒体DNA丰度降低以及蛋白质导入受损,导致线粒体前体蛋白在胞质中积累。非整倍体细胞中热休克蛋白的过表达减轻了蛋白质聚集,并减少了p62与线粒体蛋白TOMM20的共定位。因此,染色体增加导致的蛋白毒性应激会导致线粒体前体蛋白被隔离到胞质p62小体中,从而损害线粒体功能。
