Intestinal epithelial cells have unique apical membrane structures, known as microvilli, that contain bundles of actin microfilaments. In this study, we report that Caenorhabditis elegans cytosolic chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT) is essential for proper formation of microvilli in intestinal cells. In intestinal cells of cct-5(RNAi) animals, a substantial amount of actin is lost from the apical area, forming large aggregates in the cytoplasm, and the apical membrane is deformed into abnormal, bubble-like structures. The length of the intestinal microvilli is decreased in these animals. However, the overall actin protein levels remain relatively unchanged when CCT is depleted. We also found that CCT depletion causes a reduction in the tubulin levels and disorganization of the microtubule network. In contrast, the stability and localization of intermediate filament protein IFB-2, which forms a dense filamentous network underneath the apical surface, appears to be superficially normal in CCT-deficient cells, suggesting substrate specificity of CCT in the folding of filamentous cytoskeletons in vivo. Our findings demonstrate physiological functions of CCT in epithelial cell morphogenesis using whole animals. 相似文献

Many ATP-dependent molecular chaperones, including Hsp70, Hsp90, and the chaperonins GroEL/Hsp60, require cofactor proteins to regulate their ATPase activities and thus folding functions in vivo. One conspicuous exception has been the eukaryotic chaperonin CCT, for which no regulator of its ATPase activity, other than non-native substrate proteins, is known. We identify the evolutionarily conserved PhLP3 (phosducin-like protein 3) as a modulator of CCT function in vitro and in vivo. PhLP3 binds CCT, spanning the cylindrical chaperonin cavity and contacting at least two subunits. When present in a ternary complex with CCT and an actin or tubulin substrate, PhLP3 significantly diminishes the chaperonin ATPase activity, and accordingly, excess PhLP3 perturbs actin or tubulin folding in vitro. Most interestingly, however, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PhLP3 homologue is required for proper actin and tubulin function. This cellular role of PhLP3 is most apparent in a strain that also lacks prefoldin, a chaperone that facilitates CCT-mediated actin and tubulin folding. We propose that the antagonistic actions of PhLP3 and prefoldin serve to modulate CCT activity and play a key role in establishing a functional cytoskeleton in vivo. 相似文献

Review: postchaperonin tubulin folding cofactors and their role in microtubule dynamics 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The microtubule cytoskeleton consists of a highly organized network of microtubule polymers bound to their accessory proteins: microtubule-associated proteins, molecular motors, and microtubule-organizing proteins. The microtubule subunits are heterodimers composed of one alpha-tubulin polypeptide and one beta-tubulin polypeptide that should undergo a complex folding processing before they achieve a quaternary structure that will allow their incorporation into the polymer. Due to the extremely high protein concentration that exists at the cell cytoplasm, there are alpha- and beta-tubulin interacting proteins that prevent the unwanted interaction of these polypeptides with the surrounding protein pool during folding, thus allowing microtubule dynamics. Several years ago, the development of a nondenaturing electrophoretic technique made it possible to identify different tubulin intermediate complexes during tubulin biogenesis in vitro. By these means, the cytosolic chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT or TriC) and prefoldin have been demonstrated to intervene through tubulin and actin folding. Various other cofactors also identified along the alpha- and beta-tubulin postchaperonin folding route are now known to have additional roles in tubulin biogenesis such as participating in the synthesis, transport, and storage of alpha- and beta-tubulin. The future characterization of the tubulin-binding sites to these proteins, and perhaps other still unknown proteins, will help in the development of chemicals that could interfere with tubulin folding and thus modulating microtubule dynamics. In this paper, current knowledge of the above postchaperonin folding cofactors, which are in fact chaperones involved in tubulin heterodimer quaternary structure achievement, will be reviewed. 相似文献

The chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT) is required for the production of native actin and tubulin and numerous other proteins, several of which are involved in cell cycle progression. The mechanistic details of how CCT acts upon its folding substrates are intriguing: whilst actin and tubulin bind in a sequence-specific manner, it is possible that some proteins could use CCT as a more general binding interface. Therefore, how CCT accommodates the folding requirements of its substrates, some of which are produced in a cell cycle-specific manner, is of great interest. The reliance of folding substrates upon CCT for the adoption of their native structures results in CCT activity having far-reaching implications for a vast array of cellular processes. For example, the dependency of the major cytoskeletal proteins actin and tubulin upon CCT results in CCT activity being linked to any cellular process that depends on the integrity of the microfilament and microtubule-based cytoskeletal systems. 相似文献

Interaction of hepatitis C virus F protein with prefoldin 2 perturbs tubulin cytoskeleton organization 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
By use of the yeast two-hybrid system, hepatitis C virus (HCV) F protein was found to interact with a cellular protein named prefoldin 2. The interaction was confirmed by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy as well as coimmunoprecipitation experiments. Prefoldin 2 is a subunit of a hexameric molecular chaperone complex, named prefoldin, which delivers nascent actin and tubulin proteins to the eukaryotic cytosolic chaperonin for facilitated folding. Functional prefoldin spontaneously assembles from its six subunits (prefoldin 1-6). In the yeast three-hybrid system, it was found that expression of HCV F protein impeded the interaction between prefoldin 1 and 2. By performing immunofluorescence experiment and non-denaturing gel electrophoresis, it was shown that expression of HCV F protein resulted in aberrant organization of tubulin cytoskeleton. Since HCV replication requires intact microtubule and actin polymerization, HCV F protein may serve as a modulator to prevent high level of HCV replication and thus contributes to viral persistence in chronic HCV infection. 相似文献

Background
Phosducin-like protein 3 (PhLP3) forms a ternary complex with the ATP-dependent molecular chaperone CCT and its folding client tubulin. In vitro studies suggest PhLP3 plays an inhibitory role in β-tubulin folding while conversely in vivo genetic studies suggest PhLP3 is required for the correct folding of β-tubulin. We have a particular interest in the cytoskeleton, its chaperones and their role in determining cellular phenotypes associated with high level recombinant protein expression from mammalian cell expression systems.Methodology/Principal Findings
As studies into PhLP3 function have been largely carried out in non mammalian systems, we examined the effect of human PhLP3 over-expression and siRNA silencing using a single murine siRNA on both tubulin and actin systems in mammalian Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines. We show that over-expression of PhLP3 promotes an imbalance of α and β tubulin subunits, microtubule disassembly and cell death. In contrast, β-actin levels are not obviously perturbed. On-the-other-hand, RNA silencing of PhLP3 increases RhoA-dependent actin filament formation and focal adhesion formation and promotes a dramatic elongated fibroblast-like change in morphology. This was accompanied by an increase in phosphorylated MAPK which has been associated with promoting focal adhesion assembly and maturation. Transient overexpression of PhLP3 in knockdown experiments rescues cells from the morphological change observed during PhLP3 silencing but mitosis is perturbed, probably reflecting a tipping back of the balance of PhLP3 levels towards the overexpression state.Conclusions
Our results support the hypothesis that PhLP3 is important for the maintenance of β-tubulin levels in mammalian cells but also that its modulation can promote actin-based cytoskeletal remodelling by a mechanism linked with MAPK phosphorylation and RhoA-dependent changes. PhLP3 levels in mammalian cells are thus finely poised and represents a novel target for engineering industrially relevant cell lines to evolve lines more suited to suspension or adherent cell growth. 相似文献7.
Chaperonins are large oligomers consisting of two superimposed rings, each enclosing a cavity used for the folding of other proteins. They have been divided into two groups. Chaperonins of type I were identified in mitochondria and chloroplasts (Hsp60) or bacterial cytosol (GroEL) as well. Chaperonins type II were found in Archea and the eukaryotic cell cytosol (CCT). Protein folding occurs in the chaperonin after its conformational changes induced upon ATP binding. Mechanism of the protein folding, although still poorly defined, clearly differs from the one established for GroEL. Although CCT with prefoldin seems to be mainly involved in the folding of actin and tubulin, other substrates engaged in various cellular processes are beginning to be characterized, including proteins possessing WD40-repeats. Moreover, several lines of evidence suggest that beside prefoldin, CCT may work in concert with phosducin-like proteins (PhLPs). 相似文献

The MAPKs are key regulatory signaling molecules in many cellular processes. Here we define differential functions for ERK1 and ERK2 MAPKs in zebrafish embryogenesis. Morpholino knockdown of ERK1 and ERK2 resulted in cell migration defects during gastrulation, which could be rescued by co-injection of the corresponding mRNA. Strikingly, Erk2 mRNA cross-rescued ERK1 knockdown, but erk1 mRNA was unable to compensate for ERK2 knockdown. Cell-tracing experiments revealed a convergence defect for ERK1 morphants without a severe posterior-extension defect, whereas ERK2 morphants showed a more severe reduction in anterior-posterior extension. These defects were primary changes in gastrulation cell movements and not caused by altered cell fate specification. Saturating knockdown conditions showed that the absence of FGF-mediated dual-phosphorylated ERK2 from the blastula margin blocked initiation of epiboly, actin and tubulin cytoskeleton reorganization processes and further arrested embryogenesis, whereas ERK1 knockdown had only a mild effect on epiboly progression. Together, our data define distinct roles for ERK1 and ERK2 in developmental cell migration processes during zebrafish embryogenesis. 相似文献

Folding assistance is a fundamental requirement of certain proteins, and it may be subjected to physicochemical constraints in case of organisms adapted to polar temperatures. Limited information is available about protein folding in the polar environment. Folding of tubulin provides one of the few studied cases. Here, we report a pilot folding analysis of a divergent beta-tubulin isotype, named EFBT3, from the Antarctic psychrophilic ciliate Euplotes focardii. To attain its native monomeric structure, beta-tubulin needs the assistance of the eukaryotic class II chaperonin CCT and cofactor A (CofA). The in vitro folding reaction of EFBT3 with CCT and CofA purified from rabbit did not generate any folded product. In contrast, the reaction performed with the rabbit reticulocyte lysate, that contains all the chaperones required for efficient tubulin folding, was productive, suggesting that additional factors besides purified CCT and CofA are required for EFBT3 to attain its monomeric structure. We also demonstrated that the rare Cys281 of EFBT3 is critical for the folding reaction. Model predictions indicate that EFBT3 binds to CofA differently from yeast beta-tubulin, suggesting a diverse folding mechanism that may be correlated with microtubule cold adaptation. 相似文献

The chaperonin CCT hexadecamer is required for the folding of non-native actins and tubulins in eukaryotic cells. Among the consequences of greatly reducing CCT holocomplex levels in human cell lines by siRNA targeting are growth arrest and changes in cell morphology and motility. Less extensive reduction of CCT activity via microinjection of an inhibitory anti-CCT epsilon subunit monoclonal antibody, which alters the rates of substrate processing by CCT in vitro, causes a delay in cell cycle progression through G1/S phase in synchronized Swiss 3T3 cells. The degree of growth arrest strongly correlates with the extent of CCT depletion, indicating that full CCT activity is required for normal cell growth and division. Depletion of CCT does not affect actin polypeptide synthesis but causes a reduction in levels of native actin and perturbation of actin-based cell motility in BE cells. There are no large-scale effects on cytoplasmic protein synthesis or a general heat shock response during periods of low CCT activity. 相似文献

Functional analysis of cytoplasmic dynein in Caenorhabditis elegans has revealed a wide range of cellular functions for this minus-end–directed motor protein. Dynein transports a variety of cargos to diverse cellular locations, and thus cargo selection and destination are likely regulated by accessory proteins. The microtubule-associated proteins LIS-1 and dynein interact, but the nature of this interaction remains poorly understood. Here we show that both LIS-1 and the dynein heavy-chain DHC-1 are required for integrity of the actin cytoskeleton in C. elegans. Although both dhc-1(or195ts) and lis-1 loss-of-function disrupt the actin cytoskeleton and produce embryonic lethality, a double mutant suppresses these defects. A targeted RNA interference screen revealed that knockdown of other actin regulators, including actin-capping protein genes and prefoldin subunit genes, suppresses dhc-1(or195ts)–induced lethality. We propose that release or relocation of the mutant dynein complex mediates this suppression of dhc-1(or195ts)--induced phenotypes. These results reveal an unexpected direct or indirect interaction between the actin cytoskeleton and dynein activity. 相似文献

The molecular chaperone CCT/TRiC plays a central role in maintaining cellular proteostasis as it mediates the folding of the major cytoskeletal proteins tubulins and actins. CCT/TRiC is also involved in the oncoprotein cyclin E, the Von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor protein, cyclin B and p21ras folding which strongly suggests that it is involved in cell proliferation and tumor genesis. To assess the involvement of CCT/TRiC in tumor genesis, we quantified its expression levels and activity in 18 cancer, one non-cancer human cell lines and a non-cancer human liver. We show that the expression levels of CCT/TRiC in cancer cell lines are higher than that in normal cells. However, CCT/TRiC activity does not always correlate with its expression levels. We therefore documented the expression levels of CCT/TRiC modulators and partners PhLP3, Hop/P60, prefoldin and Hsc/Hsp70. Our analysis reveals a functional interplay between molecular chaperones that might account for a precise modulation of CCT/TRiC activity in cell proliferation through changes in the cellular levels of prefoldin and/or Hsc/p70 and CCT/TRiC client protein availability. Our observation and approaches bring novel insights in the role of CCT/TRiC-mediated protein folding machinery in cancer cell development. 相似文献

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, known as favism, is classically manifested by hemolytic anemia in human. More recently, it has been shown that mild G6PD deficiency moderately affects cardiac function, whereas severe G6PD deficiency leads to embryonic lethality in mice. How G6PD deficiency affects organisms has not been fully elucidated due to the lack of a suitable animal model. In this study, G6PD-deficient Caenorhabditis elegans was established by RNA interference (RNAi) knockdown to delineate the role of G6PD in animal physiology. Upon G6PD RNAi knockdown, G6PD activity was significantly hampered in C. elegans in parallel with increased oxidative stress and DNA oxidative damage. Phenotypically, G6PD-knockdown enhanced germ cell apoptosis (2-fold increase), reduced egg production (65% of mock), and hatching (10% of mock). To determine whether oxidative stress is associated with G6PD knockdown-induced reproduction defects, C. elegans was challenged with a short-term hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The early phase egg production of both mock and G6PD-knockdown C. elegans were significantly affected by H2O2. However, H2O2-induced germ cell apoptosis was more dramatic in mock than that in G6PD-deficient C. elegans. To investigate the signaling pathways involved in defective oogenesis and embryogenesis caused by G6PD knockdown, mutants of p53 and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways were examined. Despite the upregulation of CEP-1 (p53), cep-1 mutation did not affect egg production and hatching in G6PD-deficient C. elegans. Neither pmk-1 nor mek-1 mutation significantly affected egg production, whereas sek-1 mutation further decreased egg production in G6PD-deficient C. elegans. Intriguingly, loss of function of sek-1 or mek-1 dramatically rescued defective hatching (8.3- and 9.6-fold increase, respectively) induced by G6PD knockdown. Taken together, these findings show that G6PD knockdown reduces egg production and hatching in C. elegans, which are possibly associated with enhanced oxidative stress and altered MAPK pathways, respectively. 相似文献

The chaperonin-containing t-complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) is a hetero-oligomeric molecular chaperone that assists in the folding of actin, tubulin, and other cytosolic proteins. We recently reported that the expression level of CCT is closely correlated with growth rates of mammalian cultured cells. Here we examine the levels of CCT subunits and other molecular chaperones in tumor tissues of patients with hepatocelluar and colonic carcinoma, and compare them with nontumor tissues in the same patients. Expression levels of CCTβ in tumor tissues was significantly higher than in nontumor tissues in all patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 15) and 83% of patients with colonic carcinoma (n = 17). The increased level of CCT expression in colonic cancer cells was confirmed by immunohistochemistry with anti-CCTβ antibody. The levels of CCTβ were highly correlated (r = 0.606) with those of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), which was used as an indicator of cell growth. CCTα gave similar results, although the correlation with PCNA levels was weaker. Other cytosolic and endoplasmic reticulum chaperones also showed higher expression in significant numbers of tumor tissues but less frequently than that observed with CCT. These results suggest that CCT is up-regulated in rapidly proliferating tumor cells in vivo to effectively produce proteins required for growth, and may serve as a useful tumor marker because it is widely distributed in the cytosol. 相似文献

The chaperones prefoldin and the cytosolic chaperonin CCT-containing TCP-1 (CCT) guide the cytoskeletal protein actin to its native conformation. Performing an alanine scan of actin, we identified discrete recognition determinants for CCT interaction. Interestingly, one of these is similar and functional in the non-homologous protein Cdc20, suggesting that some of the binding information in the CCT target proteins is shared. The information in actin for recognition by CCT and for folding is different, as all but one of the mutants in the recognition determinants are folding-competent. In addition, some other actin mutants remain CCT-arrested and are not released in a native conformation, whereas others do fold but remain bound to CAP. Kinetic experiments provide evidence that CCT-mediated folding of non-native actin occurs in at least two steps, in which initially the recognition determinant 245-249 contacts CCT and the other determinants interact at later stages. Actin mutants that are CCT-arrested demonstrate that some regions neighbouring the recognition determinants are involved in modulating the correct folding transitions of actin on CCT, or its release from this chaperonin. Further, we found that the ATP binding of actin is not a prerequisite for its release, and we suggest that CAP may be involved in charging the nucleotide. Based on the kinetics of CCT binding and folding of actin and actin mutants, we propose a multi-step recognition-transition-release model. This also implies that the currently accepted notion of CCT-mediated actin folding is probably more complex. 相似文献

Subunits of the chaperonin CCT interact with F-actin and influence cell shape and cytoskeletal assembly 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The integrity of the cytoskeleton is closely linked to the oligomeric chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT) via the folding requirements of actin and tubulin, but the role of CCT in cytoskeletal organization remains unclear. We address this issue by analyzing the effects of targeting CCT subunits via siRNA and assessing their location/assembly state in cultured mammalian cells. Reducing levels of individual CCT subunits implicates CCT? in influencing cell shape and reduced levels of this subunit limit the cells' ability to recover from microfilament depolymerization. Conversely, cells displayed enhanced microtubule regrowth when CCT subunit levels were altered by siRNA. Some CCT subunits co-localize with F-actin, whilst all are predominantly monomeric in extracts enriched for the cytoskeleton. This provides compelling evidence that some CCT subunits as monomers can influence cytoskeletal organization/polymerization. Therefore the activity of CCT may well extend beyond the folding of newly synthesized polypeptides, representing a novel function for CCT subunits distinct from their role in the CCT oligomer. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT) plays a critically important role in the folding and biogenesis of many cytoskeletal proteins, including tubulin and actin. For marine ectotherms, the chronically cold Southern Ocean (−2 to +2°C) poses energetic challenges to protein folding, both at the level of substrate proteins and with respect to the chaperonin/chaperone folding system. Here we report the partial functional and structural characterization of CCT from an Antarctic notothenioid fish, Notothenia coriiceps. We find that the mechanism of folding by the Antarctic fish CCT differed from that of mammalian CCT: (1) the former complex was able to bind denatured β-tubulin but (2) when reconstituted with rabbit Cofactor A, failed to release the protein to yield the tubulin/cofactor intermediate. Moreover, the amino acid sequences of the N. coriiceps CCT β and θ chains contained residue substitutions in the equatorial, apical, and intermediate domains that would be expected to increase the flexibility of the subunits, thus facilitating function of the chaperonin in an energy poor environment. Our work contributes to the growing realization that protein function in cold-adapted organisms reflects a delicate balance between the necessity of structural flexibility for catalytic activity and the concomitant hazard of cold-induced denaturation. 相似文献

The two specialized C. elegans distal tip cells (DTCs) provide an in vivo model system for the study of developmentally regulated cell migration. We identified cacn-1/cactin, a well-conserved, novel regulator of cell migration in a genome-wide RNAi screen for regulators of DTC migration. RNAi depletion experiments and analysis of the hypomorphic allele cacn-1(tm3126) indicate that CACN-1 is required during DTC migration for proper pathfinding and for cessation of DTC migration at the end of larval morphogenesis. Strong expression of CACN-1 in the DTCs, and data from cell-specific RNAi depletion experiments, suggest that CACN-1 is required cell-autonomously to control DTC migration. Importantly, genetic interaction data with Rac GTPase activators and effectors suggest that CACN-1 acts specifically to inhibit the mig-2/Rac pathway, and in parallel to ced-10/Rac, to control DTC pathfinding. 相似文献

The heat shock response (HSR) is essential to survive acute proteotoxic stress and has been studied extensively in unicellular organisms and tissue culture cells, but to a lesser extent in intact metazoan animals. To identify the regulatory pathways that control the HSR in Caenorhabditis elegans, we performed a genome-wide RNAi screen and identified 59 genes corresponding to 7 positive activators required for the HSR and 52 negative regulators whose knockdown leads to constitutive activation of the HSR. These modifiers function in specific steps of gene expression, protein synthesis, protein folding, trafficking, and protein clearance, and comprise the metazoan heat shock regulatory network (HSN). Whereas the positive regulators function in all tissues of C. elegans, nearly all of the negative regulators exhibited tissue-selective effects. Knockdown of the subunits of the proteasome strongly induces HS reporter expression only in the intestine and spermatheca but not in muscle cells, while knockdown of subunits of the TRiC/CCT chaperonin induces HS reporter expression only in muscle cells. Yet, both the proteasome and TRiC/CCT chaperonin are ubiquitously expressed and are required for clearance and folding in all tissues. We propose that the HSN identifies a key subset of the proteostasis machinery that regulates the HSR according to the unique functional requirements of each tissue. 相似文献
