Congenital hypothyroidism with biallelic thyroglobulin (Tg protein, encoded by the TG gene) mutation is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) storage disease. Many patients (and animal models) grow an enlarged thyroid (goiter), yet some do not. In adulthood, hypothyroid TGcog/cog mice (bearing a Tg-L2263P mutation) exhibit a large goiter, whereas adult WIC rats bearing the TGrdw/rdw mutation (Tg-G2298R) exhibit a hypoplastic thyroid. Homozygous TG mutation has been linked to thyroid cell death, and cytotoxicity of the Tg-G2298R protein was previously thought to explain the lack of goiter in WIC-TGrdw/rdw rats. However, recent studies revealed that TGcog/cog mice also exhibit widespread ER stress–mediated thyrocyte death, yet under continuous feedback stimulation, thyroid cells proliferate in excess of their demise. Here, to examine the relative proteotoxicity of the Tg-G2298R protein, we have used CRISPR–CRISPR-associated protein 9 technology to generate homozygous TGrdw/rdw knock-in mice in a strain background identical to that of TGcog/cog mice. TGrdw/rdw mice exhibit similar phenotypes of defective Tg protein folding, thyroid histological abnormalities, hypothyroidism, and growth retardation. TGrdw/rdw mice do not show evidence of greater ER stress response or stress-mediated cell death than TGcog/cog mice, and both mouse models exhibit sustained thyrocyte proliferation, with comparable goiter growth. In contrast, in WIC-TGrdw/rdw rats, as a function of aging, the thyrocyte proliferation rate declines precipitously. We conclude that the mutant Tg-G2298R protein is not intrinsically more proteotoxic than Tg-L2263P; rather, aging-dependent difference in maintenance of cell proliferation is the limiting factor, which accounts for the absence of goiter in adult WIC-TGrdw/rdw rats. 相似文献

Secretion of thyroglobulin (Tg, a large homodimeric glycoprotein) is essential to deliver Tg to its site of iodination for thyroxine biosynthesis. An L2263P missense mutation in Tg has been proposed as the molecular defect causing congenital goitrous hypothyroidism in cog/cog mice due to perturbed Tg homodimerization, resulting in its retention within the endoplasmic reticulum. The mutation falls within a carboxyl-terminal region of Tg with high structural similarity to the entirety of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a secretory protein that also forms homodimers. We provide new evidence that authentic AChE and the cholinesterase-like domain of Tg share a common tertiary structure. Moreover, we find that a Tg truncation, deleted of the cholinesterase-like region (but not a comparably sized deletion of internal Tg regions), blocks Tg export. Appending to this truncation a cDNA encoding authentic AChE results in translation of a chimeric protein in which AChE is present in a native, enzymatically active (albeit latent) conformation, and this fully rescues Tg secretion. Introduction of the cog mutation inhibits AChE enzyme activity, and established denaturing mutations of AChE block secretion of the Tg. Additional studies show that the native structure of the AChE region functions as a "dimerization domain," facilitating intracellular transport of Tg to the site of thyroid hormonogenesis. 相似文献

Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) and a genetic form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD178) are clinically different prion disorders linked to the D178N prion protein (PrP) mutation. The disease phenotype is determined by the 129 M/V polymorphism on the mutant allele, which is thought to influence D178N PrP misfolding, leading to the formation of distinctive prion strains with specific neurotoxic properties. However, the mechanism by which misfolded variants of mutant PrP cause different diseases is not known. We generated transgenic (Tg) mice expressing the mouse PrP homolog of the FFI mutation. These mice synthesize a misfolded form of mutant PrP in their brains and develop a neurological illness with severe sleep disruption, highly reminiscent of FFI and different from that of analogously generated Tg(CJD) mice modeling CJD178. No prion infectivity was detectable in Tg(FFI) and Tg(CJD) brains by bioassay or protein misfolding cyclic amplification, indicating that mutant PrP has disease-encoding properties that do not depend on its ability to propagate its misfolded conformation. Tg(FFI) and Tg(CJD) neurons have different patterns of intracellular PrP accumulation associated with distinct morphological abnormalities of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, suggesting that mutation-specific alterations of secretory transport may contribute to the disease phenotype. 相似文献

How mutant prion protein (PrP) leads to neurological dysfunction in genetic prion diseases is unknown. Tg(PG14) mice synthesize a misfolded mutant PrP which is partially retained in the neuronal endoplasmic reticulum (ER). As these mice age, they develop ataxia and massive degeneration of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). Here, we report that motor behavioral deficits in Tg(PG14) mice emerge before neurodegeneration and are associated with defective glutamate exocytosis from granule neurons due to impaired calcium dynamics. We found that mutant PrP interacts with the voltage-gated calcium channel α(2)δ-1 subunit, which promotes the anterograde trafficking of the channel. Owing to ER retention of mutant PrP, α(2)δ-1 accumulates intracellularly, impairing delivery of the channel complex to the cell surface. Thus, mutant PrP disrupts cerebellar glutamatergic neurotransmission by reducing the number of functional channels in CGNs. These results link intracellular PrP retention to synaptic dysfunction, indicating new modalities of neurotoxicity and potential therapeutic strategies. 相似文献

It has been suggested that a thyroglobulin (Tg)-R19K missense mutation may be a newly identified cause of human congenital goiter, which is surprising for this seemingly conservative substitution. Here, we have examined the intracellular fate of recombinant mutant Tg expressed in COS-7 cells. Incorporation of the R19K mutation largely blocked Tg secretion, and this mutant was approximately 90% degraded intracellularly over a 24-h period after synthesis. Before its degradation, the Tg-R19K mutant exhibited abnormally increased association with molecular chaperones BiP, calnexin, and protein disulfide isomerase, and was unable to undergo anterograde advance from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through the Golgi complex. Inhibitors of proteasomal proteolysis and ER mannosidase-I both prevented ER-associated degradation of the Tg-R19K mutant and increased its association with ER molecular chaperones. ER quality control around Tg residue 19 is not dependent upon charge but upon side-chain packing, because Tg-R19Q was efficiently secreted. Whereas a Tg mutant truncated after residue 174 folds sufficiently well to escape ER quality control, introduction of the R19K point mutation blocked its secretion. The data indicate that the R19K mutation induces local misfolding in the amino-terminal domain of Tg that has global effects on Tg transport and thyroid hormonogenesis. 相似文献

To examine the role of early carbohydrate recognition/trimming reactions in targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-retained, misfolded glycoproteins for ER-associated degradation (ERAD), we have stably expressed the cog thyroglobulin (Tg) mutant cDNA in Chinese hamster ovary cells. We found that inhibitors of ER mannosidase I (but not other glycosidases) acutely suppressed Cog Tg degradation and also perturbed the ERAD process for Tg reduced with dithiothreitol as well as for gamma-carboxylation-deficient protein C expressed in warfarin-treated baby hamster kidney cells. Kifunensine inhibition of ER mannosidase I also suppressed ERAD in castanospermine-treated cells; thus, suppression of ERAD does not require lectin-like binding of ER chaperones calnexin and calreticulin to monoglucosylated oligosaccharides. Notably, the undegraded protein fraction remained completely microsome-associated. In pulse-chase studies, kifunensine-sensitive degradation was still inhibitable even 1 h after Tg synthesis. Intriguingly, chronic treatment with kifunensine caused a 3-fold accumulation of Cog Tg in Chinese hamster ovary cells and did not lead to significant induction of the ER unfolded protein response. We hypothesize that, in a manner not requiring lectin-like activity of calnexin/calreticulin, the recognition or processing of a specific branched N-linked mannose structure enhances the efficiency of glycoprotein retrotranslocation from the ER lumen. 相似文献

Identification of ERp29, an endoplasmic reticulum lumenal protein, as a new member of the thyroglobulin folding complex 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Folding and post-translational modification of the thyroid hormone precursor, thyroglobulin (Tg), in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the thyroid epithelial cells is facilitated by several molecular chaperones and folding enzymes, such as BiP, GRP94, calnexin, protein disulfide isomerase, ERp72, and others. They have been shown to associate simultaneously and/or sequentially with Tg in the course of its maturation, thus forming large heterocomplexes in the ER of thyrocytes. Here we present evidence that such complexes include a novel member, an ER-resident lumenal protein, ERp29, which is present in all mammalian tissues with exceptionally high levels of expression in the secretory cells. ERp29 was induced upon treatment of FRTL-5 rat thyrocytes with the thyroid-stimulating hormone, which is essential for the maintenance of thyroid cells and Tg biosynthesis. Chemical cross-linking followed by the cell lysis and immunoprecipitation of ERp29 or Tg revealed association of these proteins and additionally, immunocomplexes that also included major ER chaperones, BiP and GRP94. Sucrose density gradient analysis indicated co-localization of ERp29 with Tg and BiP in the fractions containing large macromolecular complexes. This was supported by immunofluorescent microscopy showing co-localization of ERp29 with Tg in the putative transport vesicular structures. Affinity chromatography using Tg as an affinity ligand demonstrated that ERp29 might be selectively isolated from the FRTL-5 cell lysate or purified lumenal fraction of rat liver microsomes along with the other ER chaperones. Preferential association with the urea-denatured Tg-Sepharose was indicative of either direct or circuitous ERp29/Tg interactions in a chaperone-like manner. Despite the presence of the C-terminal ER-retrieval signal, significant amounts of ERp29 were also recovered from the culture medium of stimulated thyrocytes, indicating ERp29 secretion. Based on these data, we suggest that the function of ERp29 in thyroid cells is connected with folding and/or secretion of Tg. 相似文献

Folding and assembly of newly synthesized thyroglobulin occurs in a pre-Golgi compartment 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have investigated the kinetics of folding and dimerization of newly synthesized thyroglobulin (Tg), the precursor protein in the manufacture of thyroid hormone. From the examination of lysates of pulse-labeled cultured thyrocytes by denaturing and nondenaturing gel electrophoresis, we have found that the earliest detectable form of nascent Tg is a transient aggregate, whose dissolution in vitro requires the addition of a reducing agent. In vivo, aggregate dissolution occurs with a t1/2 approximately 10 min at 37 degrees C. By 10 min after synthesis, monomeric Tg is first detectable in a conformationally unstable form. Dimeric Tg is formed thereafter (t1/2 approximately 30 min), but well before arrival of the protein in the medial Golgi (t1/2 approximately 2 h). Certain metabolic inhibitors permit dimerization yet block transport of the dimer to the Golgi. Thus, Tg dimerization occurs in a pre-Golgi compartment, and other steps after dimerization are likely to be important in the process of exit from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Further, aggregate dissolution, as well as dimerization, are inhibited significantly at 15 degrees C, indicating thermal sensitivity of Tg folding over and above effects on vesicular transport. Inhibitors of Tg iodination have no effect on Tg dimerization or Golgi arrival. Pretreatment of thyrocytes with thyroid-stimulating hormone substantially accelerates Tg flux through the ER, by increasing the amount, as well as the rate, of Tg transport, possibly at the expense of a small fraction of Tg that appears refractory to dimerization. Inhibition of N-linked glycosylation by tunicamycin causes a complete block in intracellular Tg transport by inducing the formation of biologically irreversible aggregates, suggesting that glycosylation of Tg serves to prevent denaturation of the secretory protein within the ER lumen. 相似文献

Thyroglobulin (Tg, precursor for thyroid hormone synthesis) is a large secreted glycoprotein composed of upstream regions I-II-III, followed by the ∼570 residue cholinesterase-like (ChEL) domain. ChEL has two identified functions: 1) homodimerization, and 2) binding to I-II-III that facilitates I-II-III oxidative maturation required for intracellular protein transport. Like its homologs in the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) family, ChEL possesses two carboxyl-terminal α-helices. We find that a Tg-AChE chimera (swapping AChE in place of ChEL) allows for dimerization with monomeric AChE, proving exposure of the carboxyl-terminal helices within the larger context of Tg. Further, we establish that perturbing trans-helical interaction blocks homodimerization of the Tg ChEL domain. Additionally, ChEL can associate with neuroligins (a related family of cholinesterase-like proteins), demonstrating potential for Tg cross-dimerization between non-identical partners. Indeed, when mutant rdw-Tg (Tg-G2298R, defective for protein secretion) is co-expressed with wild-type Tg, the two proteins cross-dimerize and secretion of rdw-Tg is partially restored. Moreover, we find that AChE and soluble neuroligins also can bind to the upstream Tg regions I-II-III; however, they cannot rescue secretion, because they cannot facilitate oxidative maturation of I-II-III. These data suggest that specific properties of distinct Tg ChEL mutants may result in distinct patterns of Tg monomer folding, cross-dimerization with wild-type Tg, and variable secretion behavior in heterozygous patients. 相似文献

The molecular chaperone receptor-associated protein (RAP) is required for biosynthesis of megalin, an endocytic receptor for follicular thyroglobulin (Tg), the thyroid hormone precursor. RAP also binds to Tg itself, suggesting that it may affect Tg trafficking in various manners. To elucidate RAP function, we have studied the thyroid phenotype in RAP-knockout (RAP-KO) mice and found a reduction of Tg aggregates into thyroid follicles. Serum Tg levels were significantly increased compared with those of wild-type (WT) mice, suggesting a directional alteration of Tg secretion. In spite of these abnormalities, hormone secretion was maintained as indicated by normal serum thyroxine levels. Because Tg in thyroid extracts from RAP-KO mice contained thyroxine residues as in WT mice, we concluded that in RAP-KO mice, follicular Tg, although reduced, was nevertheless sufficient to provide normal hormone secretion. Serum TSH was increased in RAP-KO mice, and although no thyroid enlargement was observed, some histological features resembling early goiter were present. Megalin was decreased in RAP-KO mice, but this did not affect thyroid function, probably because of the concomitant reduction of follicular Tg. In conclusion, RAP is required for the establishment of Tg reservoirs, but its absence does not affect hormone secretion. low-density lipoprotein; knockout mice 相似文献

We present the first identification of transient folding intermediates of endogenous thyroglobulin (Tg; a large homodimeric secretory glycoprotein of thyrocytes), which include mixed disulfides with endogenous oxidoreductases servicing Tg folding needs. Formation of disulfide-linked Tg adducts with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidoreductases begins cotranslationally. Inhibition of ER glucosidase activity blocked formation of a subgroup of Tg adducts containing ERp57 while causing increased Tg adduct formation with protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), delayed adduct resolution, perturbed oxidative folding of Tg monomers, impaired Tg dimerization, increased Tg association with BiP/GRP78 and GRP94, activation of the unfolded protein response, increased ER-associated degradation of a subpopulation of Tg, partial Tg escape from ER quality control with increased secretion of free monomers, and decreased overall Tg secretion. These data point towards mixed disulfides with the ERp57 oxidoreductase in conjunction with calreticulin/calnexin chaperones acting as normal early Tg folding intermediates that can be "substituted" by PDI adducts only at the expense of lower folding efficiency with resultant ER stress. 相似文献

Newly synthesized thyroglobulin (Tg), the secretory glycoprotein that serves as precursor in thyroid hormone synthesis, normally forms transient covalent protein complexes with oxidoreductases of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The Tg-G2320R mutation is responsible for congenital hypothyroidism in rdw/rdw rats, in which a lack of secondary thyroid enlargement (goiter) implicates death of thyrocytes as part of disease pathogenesis. We found that mutant Tg-G2320R was retained within the ER with no detectable synthesis of thyroxine, had persistent exposure of free cysteine thiols, and was associated with activated ER stress response but incomplete ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Tg-G2320R associated with multiple ER resident proteins, most notably ERp72, including covalent Tg-ERp72 interactions. In PC Cl3 thyrocytes, inducible overexpression of ERp72 increased the ability of cells to maintain Tg cysteines in a reduced state. Noncovalent interactions of several ER chaperones with newly synthesized Tg-G2320R diminished over time in parallel with ERAD of the mutant protein, yet a small ERAD-resistant Tg fraction remained engaged in covalent association with ERp72 even 2 days post-synthesis. Such covalent protein aggregates may set the stage for apoptotic thyrocyte cell death, preventing thyroid goiter formation in rdw/rdw rats. 相似文献

ERp29 is a ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein, which is found in the folding complexes of several secretory proteins in the ER. In our previous work, it was suggested that ERp29 function is critical for the folding/secretion of thyroglobulin (Tg), a major secretory product of thyroid cells. Current work is an attempt to substantiate this assumption by answering the question whether the secretion of Tg can be regulated through the manipulation of ERp29 expression in the FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells. Indeed, transient overexpression of ERp29 resulted in twofold enhancement of the Tg secretion whereas the RNAi-mediated ERp29 silencing led to the attenuation of the Tg export. Mutational analysis has suggested two loci that might be involved in the ERp29-Tg interactions: the interdomain linker including Cys157, an amino acid, which is important for the structural integrity of the C-terminal domain and an uncharged surface on the N-terminal domain flanked by Tyr64 and Gln70. 相似文献

Pathologies caused by mutations in extracellular matrix proteins are generally considered to result from the synthesis of extracellular matrices that are defective. Mutations in type X collagen cause metaphyseal chondrodysplasia type Schmid (MCDS), a disorder characterised by dwarfism and an expanded growth plate hypertrophic zone. We generated a knock-in mouse model of an MCDS–causing mutation (COL10A1 p.Asn617Lys) to investigate pathogenic mechanisms linking genotype and phenotype. Mice expressing the collagen X mutation had shortened limbs and an expanded hypertrophic zone. Chondrocytes in the hypertrophic zone exhibited endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and a robust unfolded protein response (UPR) due to intracellular retention of mutant protein. Hypertrophic chondrocyte differentiation and osteoclast recruitment were significantly reduced indicating that the hypertrophic zone was expanded due to a decreased rate of VEGF–mediated vascular invasion of the growth plate. To test directly the role of ER stress and UPR in generating the MCDS phenotype, we produced transgenic mouse lines that used the collagen X promoter to drive expression of an ER stress–inducing protein (the cog mutant of thyroglobulin) in hypertrophic chondrocytes. The hypertrophic chondrocytes in this mouse exhibited ER stress with a characteristic UPR response. In addition, the hypertrophic zone was expanded, gene expression patterns were disrupted, osteoclast recruitment to the vascular invasion front was reduced, and long bone growth decreased. Our data demonstrate that triggering ER stress per se in hypertrophic chondrocytes is sufficient to induce the essential features of the cartilage pathology associated with MCDS and confirm that ER stress is a central pathogenic factor in the disease mechanism. These findings support the contention that ER stress may play a direct role in the pathogenesis of many connective tissue disorders associated with the expression of mutant extracellular matrix proteins. 相似文献

Mammals have two genes encoding homologues of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) disulfide oxidase ERO1 (ER oxidoreductin 1). ERO1-β is greatly enriched in the endocrine pancreas. We report in this study that homozygosity for a disrupting allele of Ero1lb selectively compromises oxidative folding of proinsulin and promotes glucose intolerance in mutant mice. Surprisingly, concomitant disruption of Ero1l, encoding the other ERO1 isoform, ERO1-α, does not exacerbate the ERO1-β deficiency phenotype. Although immunoglobulin-producing cells normally express both isoforms of ERO1, disulfide bond formation and immunoglobulin secretion proceed at nearly normal pace in the double mutant. Moreover, although the more reducing environment of their ER protects cultured ERO1-β knockdown Min6 cells from the toxicity of a misfolding-prone mutant Ins2Akita, the diabetic phenotype and islet destruction promoted by Ins2Akita are enhanced in ERO1-β compound mutant mice. These findings point to an unexpectedly selective function for ERO1-β in oxidative protein folding in insulin-producing cells that is required for glucose homeostasis in vivo. 相似文献

Because of its unusual length, nascent thyroglobulin (Tg) requires a long time after translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to assume its mature tertiary structure. Thus, Tg is an ideal molecule for the study of protein folding and export from the ER, and is an excellent potential substrate for molecular chaperones. During the first 15 min after biosynthesis, Tg is found in transient aggregates with and without interchain disulfide bonds, which precede the formation of free monomers (and ultimately dimers) within the ER. By immunoprecipitation, newly synthesized Tg was associated with the binding protein (BiP); association was maximal at the earliest chase times. Much of the Tg released from BiP by the addition of Mg-ATP was found in aggregates containing interchain disulfide bonds; other BiP-associated Tg represented non-covalent aggregates and unfolded free monomers. Importantly, the immediate precursor to Tg dimer was a compact monomer which did not associate with BiP. The average stoichiometry of BiP/Tg interaction involved nearly 10 BiP molecules per Tg molecule. Cycloheximide was used to reduced the ER concentration of Tg relative to chaperones, with subsequent removal of the drug in order to rapidly restore Tg synthesis. After this treatment, nascent Tg aggregates were no longer detectable. The data suggest a model of folding of exportable proteins in which nascent polypeptides immediately upon translocation into the ER interact with BiP. Early interaction with BiP may help in presenting nascent polypeptides to other helper molecules that catalyze folding, thereby preventing aggregation or driving aggregate dissolution in the ER. 相似文献

Amyloid-beta-(1-42) increases ryanodine receptor-3 expression and function in neurons of TgCRND8 mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Disruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis precedes the neurodegeneration that occurs in Alzheimer disease (AD). Of the many neuronal calcium-regulating proteins, we focused on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident ryanodine receptors (RyRs) because they are increased in the hippocampus of mice expressing mutant presenilin-1 and are associated with neurotoxicity. Others have observed that ryanodine binding is elevated in human postmortem hippocampal regions suggesting that RyR(s) are involved in AD pathogenesis. Here we report that extracellular amyloid-beta(Abeta)-(1-42) specifically increased RyR-3, but not RyR-1 or RyR-2, gene expression in cortical neurons from C57Bl6 mice. Furthermore, endogenously produced Abeta-(1-42) increased RyR-3 mRNA and protein in cortical neurons from transgenic (Tg)CRND8 mice, a mouse model of AD. Increased RyR-3 mRNA and protein was also observed in brain tissue from 4- to 4.5-month-old Tg animals compared with non-Tg littermate controls. In experiments performed in nominal extracellular calcium, neurons from Tg mice had significant increases in intracellular calcium following ryanodine or glutamate treatment compared with littermate controls, which was abolished by treatment with small interfering RNA directed to RyR-3, indicating that the higher levels of calcium originated from RyR-3-regulated stores. Taken together, these observations suggest that Abeta-(1-42)-mediated changes in intracellular calcium homeostasis is regulated in part through a direct increase of RyR-3 expression and function. 相似文献

Phaseolin and lectin-related polypeptides, the abundant oligomeric glycoproteins of bean seeds, are synthesized on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then transported to the storage vacuole via the Golgi apparatus. Glycosylation and folding are among the major modifications these proteins undergo in the ER. Although a recurrent role of N-glycosylation is on protein folding, in previous studies on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) seeds we demonstrated that the oligosaccharide side-chains are not required for folding, intracellular transport and activity of storage glycoproteins. We show here that in lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), incubation of the developing cotyledon with tunicamycin to prevent glycosylation has a dramatic effect on the intracellular transport of the storage glycoproteins. When lacking their glycans, phaseolin and lectin-related polypeptides misfold and are retained in the ER as mixed aggregates to which the chaperone BiP irreversibly associates. The lumen of the ER becomes enlarged to accommodate the aggregated polypeptides. Intracellular transport of legumin, a naturally unglycosylated storage protein, is mostly unaffected by the inhibitor, indicating that the observed phenomenon specifically occurs on glycoproteins. Furthermore, recombinant lima bean phaseolin synthesized in tobacco protoplasts is also correctly folded and matured in the presence of tunicamycin. To our knowledge, this is the first report that describes in detail the block of intracellular transport of vacuolar glycoproteins in plant cells due to aggregation following glycosylation inhibition. 相似文献
