Bax inhibitor-1 overexpression reduces the suppressive effect of calcium mobilizing agent on adipogenesis

Bax inhibitor-1 is a conserved protein which suppresses endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis and regulates calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum. Recent studies have revealed that adipogenesis, the process of adipocyte differentiation, is influenced by a change of intracellular calcium concentration. Here, we examined the effect of endoplasmic reticulum calcium regulation by Bax inhibitor-1 on adipogenesis using 3T3-L1 preadipocytes stably transfected with a pcDNA3-BI-1-HA plasmid. Bax inhibitor-1 functionality was confirmed by inhibiting the thapsigargin-induced increase of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers. Bax inhibitor-1 overexpression did not alter normal process of adipogenesis. Thapsigargin treatment inhibited adipogenesis in control cells, but Bax inhibitor-1 overexpressing 3T3-L1 cells retained their adipogenesis function. Endoplasmic reticulum stress did not seem to be involved in thapsigargin-reduced adipogenesis, since other endoplasmic reticulum stress inducers, such as tunicamycin and dithiothreitol, did not suppress the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. Bax inhibitor-1 might affect adipogenesis through regulating cytosolic calcium, because the thapsigargin-induced robust intracellular calcium rise was not observed in Bax inhibitor-1 overexpressing 3T3-L1 cells. A23187, a calcium ionophore, showed the same effect on adipogenesis as thapsigargin. Taken together, Bax inhibitor-1 overexpression in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes inhibits calcium mobilizing agent-induced suppression of adipogenesis. As adipogenesis is dependent on a change of intracellular calcium concentration, endoplasmic reticulum calcium regulation by Bax inhibitor-1 may play an important role in adipogenesis process.     

The Bax lnhibitor-1 needs a functional electron transport chain for cell death suppression

Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an evolutionarily conserved cell death suppresser in animals, yeast, and plants. In this study, yeast strains carrying single-gene deletions were screened for factors related to cell death suppression by Arabidopsis BI-1 (AtBI-1). Our screen identified mutants that failed to survive Bax-induced lethality even with AtBI-1 coexpression (Bax suppressor). The Deltacox16 strain was isolated as a BI-1-inactive mutant; it was disrupted in a component of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase. Other mutants defective in mitochondrial electron transport showed a similar phenotype. ATP levels were markedly decreased in all these mutants, suggesting that BI-1 requires normal electron transport activity to suppress cell death in yeast.

The yeast two hybrid system in a screen for proteins interacting with axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) Msx1 during early limb regeneration

Urodele amphibians are exceptional in their ability to regenerate complex body structures such as limbs. Limb regeneration depends on a process called dedifferentiation. Under an inductive wound epidermis terminally differentiated cells transform to pluripotent progenitor cells that coordinately proliferate and eventually redifferentiate to form the new appendage. Recent studies have developed molecular models integrating a set of genes that might have important functions in the control of regenerative cellular plasticity. Among them is Msx1, which induced dedifferentiation in mammalian myotubes in vitro. Herein, we screened for interaction partners of axolotl Msx1 using a yeast two hybrid system. A two hybrid cDNA library of 5-day-old wound epidermis and underlying tissue containing more than 2×10? cDNAs was constructed and used in the screen. 34 resulting cDNA clones were isolated and sequenced. We then compared sequences of the isolated clones to annotated EST contigs of the Salamander EST database (BLASTn) to identify presumptive orthologs. We subsequently searched all no-hit clone sequences against non redundant NCBI sequence databases using BLASTx. It is the first time, that the yeast two hybrid system was adapted to the axolotl animal model and successfully used in a screen for proteins interacting with Msx1 in the context of amphibian limb regeneration.

Screening of binding proteins that interact with human Salvador 1 in a human fetal liver cDNA library by the yeast two-hybrid system

Salvador promotes both cell cycle exit and apoptosis through the modulation of both cyclin E and Drosophila inhibitor of apoptosis protein in Drosophila. However, the cellular function of human Salvador (hSav1) is rarely reported. To screen for novel binding proteins that interact with hSav1, the cDNA of hSav1 was cloned into a bait protein plasmid, and positive clones were screened from a human fetal liver cDNA library by the yeast two-hybrid system. hSav1 mRNA was expressed in yeast and there was no self-activation and toxicity in the yeast strain AH109. Twenty proteins were found to interact with hSav1, including HS1 (haematopoietic cell specific protein1)-associated protein X-1 (HAX-1); neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 9, pyruvate kinase, liver and RBC, cytochrome c oxidase subunit Vb, enoyl coenzyme A hydratase short chain 1, and NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 beta subcomplex, demonstrating that the yeast two-hybrid system is an efficient method for investigating protein interactions. Among the identified proteins, there were many mitochondrial proteins, indicating that hSav1 may play a role in mitochondrial function. We also confirmed the interaction of HAX-1 and hSav1 in mammalian cells. This investigation provides functional clues for further exploration of potential apoptosis-related proteins in disease biotherapy.     

A yeast one-hybrid system to screen for methylated DNA-binding proteins

We had previously exploited a method for targeted DNA methylation in budding yeast to succeed in one-hybrid detection of methylation-dependent DNA–protein interactions. Based on this finding, we developed a yeast one-hybrid system to screen cDNA libraries for clones encoding methylated DNA-binding proteins. Concurrent use of two independent bait sequences in the same cell, or dual-bait system, effectively reduced false positive clones, which were derived from methylation-insensitive sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. We applied the dual-bait system to screen cDNA libraries and demonstrated efficient isolation of clones for methylated DNA-binding proteins. This system would serve as a unique research tool for epigenetics.
