N-glycosylation is critical for the stability and intracellular trafficking of glucose transporter GLUT4

The facilitative glucose transporter GLUT4 plays a key role in regulating whole body glucose homeostasis. GLUT4 dramatically changes its distribution upon insulin stimulation, and insulin-resistant diabetes is often linked with compromised translocation of GLUT4 under insulin stimulation. To elucidate the functional significance of the sole N-glycan chain on GLUT4, wild-type GLUT4 and a GLUT4 glycosylation mutant conjugated with enhanced GFP were stably expressed in HeLa cells. The N-glycan contributed to the overall stability of newly synthesized GLUT4. Moreover, cell surface expression of wild-type GLUT4 in HeLa cells was elevated upon insulin treatment, whereas the glycosylation mutant lost the ability to respond to insulin. Subcellular distribution of the mutant was distinct from that of wild-type GLUT4, implying that the subcellular localization required for insulin-mediated translocation was impaired in the mutant protein. Interestingly, kifunensine-treated cells also lost sensitivity to insulin, suggesting the functional importance of the N-glycan structure for GLUT4 trafficking. The K(m) or turnover rates of wild-type and mutant GLUT4, however, were similar, suggesting that the N-glycan had little effect on transporter activity. These findings underscore the critical roles of the N-glycan chain in quality control as well as intracellular trafficking of GLUT4.     

Characterization of affinity-purified insulin receptor/kinase. Effects of dithiothreitol on receptor/kinase function

The insulin receptor/kinase was purified to near homogeneity from human placenta. The purified kinase exhibited a specific activity of 300 nmol/min/mg of protein at 30 degrees C using the synthetic peptide, Arg-Arg-Leu-Ile-Glu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Tyr-Ala-Ala-Arg-Gly, as substrate in the presence of insulin. Treatment of the receptor/kinase with dithiothreitol (DTT) reduced insulin binding by 40-50% and also inhibited tyrosine kinase activity. Phosphorylation and activation of the receptor/kinase did not prevent the DTT-induced loss of binding but completely protected it from the deleterious effects of reducing agent on enzymic activity. Analyses of the structure of the receptor/kinase following phosphorylation and treatment with DTT indicated that the class I disulfide bonds were reduced under the conditions employed, but the tetrameric structure of the receptor/kinase was essentially unaltered. These findings indicate that intact class I disulfides are required for insulin binding but are not necessary for maintenance of the preactivated kinase. DTT was also found to enhance the autoactivation of the insulin receptor/kinase and to promote the reversal of the autophosphorylation reaction. Thus disulfide bonds appear to have multiple roles in the function of the insulin receptor/kinase.

Overexpression of membrane glycoprotein PC-1 can influence insulin action at a post-receptor site

An elevated content of membrane glycoprotein PC-1 has been observed in cells and tissues of insulin resistant patients. In addition, in vitro overexpression of PC-1 in cultured cells induces insulin resistance associated with diminished insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity. We now find that PC-1 overexpression also influences insulin receptor signaling at a step downstream of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, independent of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. In the present studies, we employed Chinese hamster ovary cells that overexpress the human insulin receptor (CHO IR cells; ∼10⁶ receptors per cell), and transfected them with human PC-1 c-DNA (CHO IR PC-1). In CHO IR PC-1 cells, insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity was unchanged, following insulin treatment of cells. However, several biological effects of insulin, including glucose and amino acid uptake, were decreased. In CHO IR PC-1 cells, insulin stimulation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity was normal, suggesting that PC-1 overexpression did not affect insulin receptor activation of Ras, which is upstream of MAP kinase. Also, insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3-kinase activity was normal, suggesting that PC-1 overexpression did not interfere with the activation of this enzyme by insulin receptor substrate-1. In these cells, however, insulin stimulation of p70 ribosomal S6 kinase activity was diminished. These studies suggest, therefore, that, in addition to blocking insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activation, PC-1 can also block insulin receptor signaling at a post-receptor site. J. Cell.

Role of Hsp70 synthesis in the fate of the insulin-receptor complex after heat shock in cultured fetal hepatocytes

The influence of a mild heat shock on the fate of the insulin-receptor complex was studied in cultured fetal rat hepatocytes whose insulin glycogenic response is sensitive to heat [Zachayus and Plas (1995): J Cell Physiol 162:330–340]. After exposure from 15 min to 2 hr at 42.5°C, the amount of ¹²⁵I-insulin associated with cells at 37°C was progressively decreased (by 35% after 1 hr), while the release of ¹²⁵I-insulin degradation products into the medium was also inhibited (by 75%), more than expected from the decrease in insulin binding. Heat shock did not affect the insulin-induced internalization of cell surface insulin receptors but progressively suppressed the recycling at 37°C of receptors previously internalized at 42.5°C in the presence of insulin. When compared to the inhibitory effects of chloroquine on insulin degradation and insulin receptor recycling, which were immediate (within 15 min), those of heat shock developed within 1 hr of heating. The protein level of insulin receptors was not modified after heat shock and during recovery at 37°C, while that of Hsp72/73 exhibited a transitory accumulation inversely correlated with variations in insulin binding, as assayed by Western immunoblotting from whole cell extracts. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed a heat shock-stimulated association of Hsp72/73 with the insulin receptor. Affinity labeling showed an interaction between ¹²⁵I-insulin and Hsp72/73 in control cells, which was inhibited by heat shock. These results suggest that increased Hsp72/73 synthesis interfered with insulin degradation and prevented the recycling of the insulin receptor and its further thermal damage via a possible chaperone-like action in fetal hepatocytes submitted to heat stress. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Insulin receptor binding kinetics: modeling and simulation studies

Biological actions of insulin regulate glucose metabolism and other essential physiological functions. Binding of insulin to its cell surface receptor initiates signal transduction pathways that mediate cellular responses. Thus, it is of great interest to understand the mechanisms underlying insulin receptor binding kinetics. Interestingly, negative cooperative interactions are observed at high insulin concentrations while positive cooperativity may be present at low insulin concentrations. Clearly, insulin receptor binding kinetics cannot be simply explained by a classical bimolecular reaction. Mature insulin receptors have a dimeric structure capable of binding two molecules of insulin. The binding affinity of the receptor for the second insulin molecule is significantly lower than for the first bound insulin molecule. In addition, insulin receptor aggregation occurs in response to ligand binding and aggregation may also influence binding kinetics. In this study, we develop a mathematical model for insulin receptor binding kinetics that explicitly represents the divalent nature of the insulin receptor and incorporates receptor aggregation into the kinetic model. Model parameters are based upon published data where available. Computer simulations with our model are capable of reproducing both negative and positive cooperativity at the appropriate insulin concentrations. This model may be a useful tool for helping to understand the mechanisms underlying insulin receptor binding and the coupling of receptor binding to downstream signaling events.     

Importance of the solvent-exposed residues of the insulin B chain alpha-helix for receptor binding

Conjointly, the solvent-exposed residues of the central alpha-helix of the B chain form a well-defined ridge, which is flanked and partly overlapped by the two described insulin receptor binding surfaces on either side of the insulin molecule. To evaluate the importance of this interface in insulin receptor binding, we developed a new powerful method that allows us to introduce all the naturally occurring amino acids into a given position and subsequently determine the receptor binding affinities of the resulting insulin analogues. The total amino acid scanning mutagenesis was performed at positions B9, B10, B12, B13, B16, and B17, and the vast majority of the insulin analogue precursors were expressed and secreted in amounts close to that of the wild-type (human insulin) precursor. The analogue binding data revealed that positions B12 and B16 were the two positions most affected by the amino acid substitutions. Interestingly, the receptor binding affinities of the B13 analogues were also markedly affected by the amino acid substitutions, suggesting that GluB13 indeed is a part of insulin's binding surface. The B10 library screen generated analogues covering a wide range of (20-340%) of relative binding affinities, and the results indicated that a structural stabilization of the central alpha-helix and thereby a more rigid presentation of the binding epitope at the insulin receptor is important for receptor recognition. In conclusion, systematic amino acid scanning mutagenesis allowed us to confirm the importance of the B chain alpha-helix as a central recognition element serving as a linker of a continual binding surface.
