Membrane interactions and metal ion effects on bilayer permeation of the lipophilic ion modulator DP-109

DP-109, a lipophilic bivalent metal ion modulator currently under preclinical development for neurodegenerative disorders, was designed to have membrane-associated activity, thereby restricting its action to the vicinity of cell membranes. We describe the application of a colorimetric phospholipid/polydiacetylene (PDA) biomimetic membrane assay in elucidating DP-109 membrane interactions and penetration into lipid bilayers. In this membrane model, visible quantifiable color changes were monitored in studying membrane interactions. The colorimetric data identified a biphasic concentration-dependent interaction, with a break point around the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of DP-109. The kinetics and colorimetric dose-response profile of DP-109 indicate that the compound inserts into the lipid bilayers rather than being localized at the bilayer surface. Analysis of interactions of DP-109 with phospholipid/PDA vesicles in which ionic gradients were imposed indicates that membrane activity of DP-109 is strongly affected by electrochemical gradients imposed by K+ and Zn2+. The ionic gradient effects suggest that the insertion of DP-109 into the membrane may depend on the membrane potential.     

E2F-1 regulation by an unusual DNA damage-responsive DP partner subunit

E2F activity is negatively regulated by retinoblastoma protein (pRb) through binding to the E2F-1 subunit. Within the E2F heterodimer, DP proteins are E2F partner subunits that allow proper cell cycle progression. In contrast to the other DP proteins, the newest member of the family, DP-4, downregulates E2F activity. In this study we report an unexpected role for DP-4 in regulating E2F-1 activity during the DNA damage response. Specifically, DP-4 is induced in DNA-damaged cells, upon which it binds to E2F-1 as a non-DNA-binding E2F-1/DP-4 complex. Consequently, depleting DP-4 in cells re-instates E2F-1 activity that coincides with increased levels of chromatin-bound E2F-1, E2F-1 target gene expression and associated apoptosis. Mutational analysis of DP-4 highlighted a C-terminal region, outside the DNA-binding domain, required for the negative control of E2F-1 activity. Our results define a new pathway, which acts independently of pRb and through a biochemically distinct mechanism, involved in negative regulation of E2F-1 activity.     

Identification of significant regions of transcription factor DP-1 (TFDP-1) involved in stability/instability of the protein

We previously reported the identification of DP-1 isoforms (α and β), which are structurally C-terminus-deleted ones, and revealed the low-level expression of these isoforms. It is known that wild-type DP-1 is degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, but few details are known about the domains concerned with the protein stability/instability for the proteolysis of these DP-1 isoforms. Here we identified the domains responsible for the stability/instability of DP-1. Especially, the DP-1 “Stabilon” domain was a C-terminal acidic motif and was quite important for DP-1 stability. Moreover, we propose that this DP-1 Stabilon may be useful for the stability of other nuclear proteins when fused to them.     

Effects of DP-1904, a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, on the antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and infiltration of inflammatory cells in guinea-pigs

The effect of DP-1904, a novel thromboxane (TX) synthetase inhibitor, on airway hyperresponsiveness was studied in actively sensitized guinea-pigs. Airway hyperresponsiveness to intravenous ACh was observed at 3 and 7 h after aerosolized antigen challenge. In the model, a significant correlation between increases of respiratory resistance and microvascular leakage was observed, corresponding to the elevation of TXB2 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in the early phase. DP-1904, at doses of 3 mg/kg or higher given orally one hour prior to the antigen challenge, inhibited the TXB2 production and the development of airway hyperresponsiveness in the early phase. Further, DP-1904 significantly suppressed the accumulation of lymphocytes in BALF and airway hyperresponsiveness in the late phase, although it only slightly decreased the mobilization of eosinophils and neutrophils. The results suggest that TXA2 is possibly involved in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness, and DP-1904 prevented the airway hyperresponsiveness via inhibition of TXA2 production and regulation of inflammatory cells.     

Effects of hexapeptide, a compound analogous to insulin B chain fragment B-21-26(DP-432) on the glucose uptake into the perfused hind limb of rats

DP-432 is a synthetic new peptide analogous to insulin B-chain fragment B21-26. It has been reported that this hexapeptide shows insulin potentiating action besides insulin-like activities in adipose tissue and diaphragm of rats. The perfusion of the hind limb of rats was performed according to the procedure of Ruderman with some modifications. The medium was Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing 0.5% bovine albumin and 8.3 mM glucose. The erythrocytes were omitted from the medium. In this experimental procedure it was shown that the glucose uptake into the hind limb of rats increased by infusion of DP-432 (100 microgram/ml). The amount of glucose uptake into the hind limb responded to insulin doses (50, 100, 1000 muU/ml). DP-432 had insulin-like activity of 100 muU/ml. However, DP-432 itself did not have any potentiation of insulin activity on the muscle.     

Pyrimidine Nucleotide Metabolism and Pathways of Thymidine Triphosphate Biosynthesis in Salmonella typhimurium

The nucleoside triphosphate pools of two cytidine auxotrophic mutants of Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 were studied under different conditions of pyrimidine starvation. Both mutants, DP-45 and DP-55, are defective in cytidine deaminase and cytidine triphosphate (CTP) synthase. In addition, DP-55 has a requirement for uracil (uridine). Cytidine starvation of the mutants results in accumulation of high concentrations of uridine triphosphate (UTP) in the cells, while the pools of CTP and deoxy-CTP drop to undetectable levels within a few minutes. Addition of deoxycytidine to such cells does not restore the dCTP pool, indicating that S. typhimurium has no deoxycytidine kinase. From the kinetics of UTP accumulation during cytidine starvation, it is concluded that only cytidine nucleotides participate in the feedback regulation of de novo synthesis of UTP; both uridine and cytidine nucleotides participate in the regulation of UTP synthesis from exogenously supplied uracil or uridine. Uracil starvation of DP-55 in presence of cytidine results in extensive accumulation of CTP, suggesting that CTP does not regulate its own synthesis from exogenous cytidine. Analysis of the thymidine triphosphate (dTTP) pool of DP-55 labeled for several generations with (32)P-orthophosphate and (3)H-uracil in presence of (12)C-cytidine shows that only 20% of the dTTP pool is derived from uracil (via the methylation of deoxyuridine monophosphate); 80% is apparently synthesized from a cytidine nucleotide.
