Protein AMPylation in eukaryotes is a comparatively understudied posttranslational modification. With the exception of yeast, all eukaryotes have the enzymatic machinery required to execute this modification. Members of the heat shock protein family in different cellular compartments appear to be preferred targets for AMPylation, but it has proven challenging to adduce its biological function. We show that genetic modifications that affect AMPylation status, through generation of null alleles and a constitutively active version of the AMPylase FIC-1, can have a major impact on the susceptibility of Caenorhabditis elegans to neurodegenerative conditions linked to protein aggregation. Proteostasis is critical to maintain organismal viability, a process counteracted by aging-dependent protein aggregation. Chaperones of the heat shock protein (HSP) family help control proteostasis by reducing the burden of unfolded proteins. They also oversee the formation of protein aggregates. Here, we explore how AMPylation, a posttranslational protein modification that has emerged as a powerful modulator of HSP70 activity, influences the dynamics of protein aggregation. We find that adjustments of cellular AMPylation levels in Caenorhabditis elegans directly affect aggregation properties and associated toxicity of amyloid-β (Aβ), of a polyglutamine (polyQ)-extended polypeptide, and of α-synuclein (α-syn). Expression of a constitutively active C. elegans AMPylase FIC-1(E274G) under its own promoter expedites aggregation of Aβ and α-syn, and drastically reduces their toxicity. A deficiency in AMPylation decreases the cellular tolerance for aggregation-prone polyQ proteins and alters their aggregation behavior. Overexpression of FIC-1(E274G) interferes with cell survival and larval development, underscoring the need for tight control of AMPylase activity in vivo. We thus define a link between HSP70 AMPylation and the dynamics of protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease models. Our results are consistent with a cytoprotective, rather than a cytotoxic, role for such protein aggregates.
