The FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38) affects neuronal apoptosis control by suppressing the anti-apoptotic function of Bcl-2. The direct interaction between FKBP38 and Bcl-2, however, requires a prior activation of FKBP38 by the Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM). Here we demonstrate for the first time that the formation of a complex between FKBP38 and CaM-Ca2+ involves two separate interaction sites, thus revealing a novel scenario of target protein regulation by CaM-Ca2+. The C-terminal FKBP38 residues Ser290-Asn313 bind to the target protein-binding cleft of the Ca2+-coordinated C-terminal CaM domain, thereby enabling the N-terminal CaM domain to interact with the catalytic domain of FKBP38 in a Ca2+-independent manner. Only the latter interaction between the catalytic FKBP38 domain and the N-terminal CaM domain activates FKBP38 and, as a consequence, also regulates Bcl-2.  相似文献

The cellular processes that regulate Bcl-2 at the posttranslational levels are as important as those that regulate bcl-2 synthesis. Previously we demonstrated that the suppression of FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38) contributes to the instability of Bcl-2 or leaves Bcl-2 unprotected from degradation in an unknown mechanism. Here, we studied the underlying molecular mechanism mediating this process. We first showed that Bcl-2 binding-defective mutants of FKBP38 fail to accumulate Bcl-2 protein. We demonstrated that the FKBP38-mediated Bcl-2 stability is specific as the levels of other anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 remained unaffected. FKBP38 enhanced the Bcl-2 stability under the blockade of de novo protein synthesis, indicating it is posttranslational. We showed that the overexpression of FKBP38 attenuates reduction rate of Bcl-2, thus resulting in an increment of the intracellular Bcl-2 level, contributing to the resistance of apoptotic cell death induced by the treatment of kinetin riboside, an anticancer drug. Caspase inhibitors markedly induced the accumulation of Bcl-2. In caspase-3-activated cells, the knockdown of endogenous FKBP38 by small interfering RNA resulted in Bcl-2 down-regulation as well, which was significantly recovered by the treatment with caspase inhibitors or overexpression of FKBP38. Finally we presented that the Bcl-2 cleavage by caspase-3 is blocked when Bcl-2 binds to FKBP38 through the flexible loop. Taken together, these results suggest that FKBP38 is a key player in regulating the function of Bcl-2 by antagonizing caspase-dependent degradation through the direct interaction with the flexible loop domain of Bcl-2, which contains the caspase cleavage site.  相似文献

FKBP38 is a negative effector of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein in neuroblastoma cells. The interaction with Bcl-2 and the enzyme activity of FKBP38 depend on prior binding of calmodulin-Ca(2+) (CaM-Ca(2+)) at high Ca(2+) concentrations. The FKBP38 protein structure contains three tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs corresponding to the Hsp90 interaction sites of other immunophilins. In this study we show that the TPR domain of FKBP38 interacts with the C-terminal domain of Hsp90, but only if the FKBP38-CaM-Ca(2+) complex is preformed. Hence, FKBP38 is the first example of a TPR-containing immunophilin that interacts cofactor-dependently with Hsp90. In the ternary Hsp90-FKBP38-CaM-Ca(2+) complex the active site of FKBP38 is blocked, thus preventing interactions with Bcl-2. The dual control of the active site cleft of FKBP38 by CaM-Ca(2+) and Hsp90 highlights the importance of the enzyme activity of the FKBP38-CaM-Ca(2+) complex in the regulation of programmed cell death.  相似文献

The immunosuppressant FK-506 binding protein 38 (FKBP38) is localized at the mitochondrial membrane and appears to play an important role in apoptosis. Recent reports about the potential functions of FKBP38 in apoptosis appear to be controversial. To further understand the biological function of FKBP38, here, we studied its molecular characteristics and a potential regulatory role on the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Our results suggest that FKBP38 appears to show chaperone activities in the citrate synthase aggregation assays during thermal denaturation and affect solubility of Bcl-2 when they are co-expressed. The FKBP family proteins bind the immunosuppressive drug FK-506 through the FK-506 binding domain and consequently inhibit the activity of calcineurin. In this study, from our NMR studies and calcineurin assays in vitro, we demonstrate that the N-terminal fragment of FKBP38 which contains the FK-506 binding domain does not bind FK-506 at molecular level. Lastly, to investigate the effect of FKBP38 on Bcl-2, we suppressed FKBP38 by RNA interference (RNAi) of FKBP38. Our results suggest that the suppression of FKBP38 appears to make Bcl-2 unstable or unprotected from degradation in an unknown mechanism.  相似文献

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a critical mediator of mitogenic activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling, a master regulator of mammalian cell growth and proliferation. The mechanism by which PA activates mTORC1 signaling has remained unknown. Here, we report that PA selectively stimulates mTORC1 but not mTORC2 kinase activity in cells and in vitro. Furthermore, we show that PA competes with the mTORC1 inhibitor, FK506 binding protein 38 (FKBP38), for mTOR binding at a site encompassing the rapamycin-FKBP12 binding domain. This leads to PA antagonizing FKBP38 inhibition of mTORC1 kinase activity in vitro and rescuing mTORC1 signaling from FKBP38 in cells. Phospholipase D 1, a PA-generating enzyme that is an established upstream regulator of mTORC1, is found to negatively affect mTOR-FKBP38 interaction, confirming the role of endogenous PA in this regulation. Interestingly, removal of FKBP38 alone is insufficient to activate mTORC1 kinase and signaling, which require PA even when the FKBP38 level is drastically reduced by RNAi. In conclusion, we propose a dual mechanism for PA activation of mTORC1: PA displaces FKBP38 from mTOR and allosterically stimulates the catalytic activity of mTORC1.  相似文献

Bcl-2 contains an unusually long loop between the first and the second helices. This loop has been shown to be highly flexible based on NMR and X-ray crystallographic analyses of this region. Bcl-2 is regulated at the posttranslational level through phosphorylation of specific residues within the flexible loop. The biological role and posttranslational modifications of the loop of Bcl-2 is currently unclear. FK-506 binding protein 38 (FKBP38) has been reported to interact with Bcl-2, suggesting that FKBP38 could act as a docking molecule to localize Bcl-2 at the mitochondrial membrane [Shirane, M. and Nakayama, K.I. (2003) Inherent calcineurin inhibitor FKBP38 targets Bcl-2 to mitochondria and inhibits apoptosis. Nat. Cell Biol. 5, 28-37]. Here, we investigated the molecular interaction between FKBP38 and Bcl-2, and demonstrated that Bcl-2 interacts with FKBP38 through the unstructured loop, and the interaction appears to regulate phosphorylation in the loop of Bcl-2.  相似文献

Hepatitis C virus non-structural protein NS5A plays an important role in viral replication and various cellular events. To gain further insight into the function of NS5A, we screened a human fetal liver cDNA library for its interacting proteins using the yeast two-hybrid system. FKBP38, a 38 kDa immunosuppressant FK506-binding protein, was identified and its interaction with NS5A was confirmed by both in vitro and in vivo. The interaction was mapped to the amino acids 148-236 of NS5A containing a BH domain (Bcl-2 homology domain). Besides, both NS5A and FKBP38 were found to localize in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Moreover, NS5A stably expressing Huh7 hepatoma cells showed more resistance to apoptosis and such inhibition of apoptosis could specifically be abrogated by depletion of FKBP38 using RNA interference. These results indicate that HCV NS5A inhibits apoptosis through interaction with FKBP38.  相似文献

FKBP-type peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) are folding helper enzymes involved in the control of functional regrowth of damaged sciatic, cortical cholinergic, dopaminergic and 5-HT neurones. Here, we show that the constitutively inactive human FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38) is capable of responding directly to intracellular Ca2+ rise through formation of a heterodimeric Ca2+/calmodulin/FKBP38 complex. Only complex formation creates an enzymatically active FKBP, displaying affinity for Bcl-2 mediated through the PPIase site. Association between Bcl-2 and the active site of Ca2+/calmodulin/FKBP38 regulates Bcl-2 function and thereby participates in the promotion of apoptosis in neuronal tissues. FKBP38 proapoptotic function mediated by this interaction is abolished by either potent inhibitors of the PPIase activity of the Ca2+/calmodulin/FKBP38 complex or RNA interference-mediated depletion of FKBP38, promoting neuronal cell survival.  相似文献

The Bcl‐2 inhibitor FKBP38 is regulated by the Ca2+‐sensor calmodulin (CaM). Here we show a hitherto unknown low‐affinity cation‐binding site in the FKBP domain of FKBP38, which may afford an additional level of regulation based on electrostatic interactions. Fluorescence titration experiments indicate that in particular the physiologically relevant Ca2+ ion binds to this site. NMR‐based chemical shift perturbation data locate this cation‐interaction site within the β5–α1 loop (Leu90–Ile96) of the FKBP domain, which contains the acidic Asp92 and Asp94 side‐chains. Binding constants were subsequently determined for K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and La3+, indicating that the net charge and the radius of the ion influences the binding interaction. X‐ray diffraction data furthermore show that the conformation of the β5–α1 loop is influenced by the presence of a positively charged guanidinium group belonging to a neighboring FKBP38 molecule in the crystal lattice. The position of the cation‐binding site has been further elucidated based on pseudocontact shift data obtained by NMR via titration with Tb3+. Elimination of the Ca2+‐binding capacity by substitution of the respective aspartate residues in a D92N/D94N double‐substituted variant reduces the Bcl‐2 affinity of the FKBP3835–153/CaM complex to the same degree as the presence of Ca2+ in the wild‐type protein. Hence, this charge‐sensitive site in the FKBP domain participates in the regulation of FKBP38 function by enabling electrostatic interactions with ligand proteins and/or salt ions such as Ca2+.

FKBP38 is a member of the family of FK506-binding proteins that acts as an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The inhibitory action of FKBP38 is antagonized by Rheb, an oncogenic small GTPase, which interacts with FKBP38 and prevents its association with mTOR. In addition to the role in mTOR regulation, FKBP38 is also involved in binding and recruiting Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, two anti-apoptotic proteins, to mitochondria. In this study, we investigated the possibility that Rheb controls apoptosis by regulating the interaction of FKBP38 with Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. We demonstrate in vitro that the interaction of FKBP38 with Bcl-2 is regulated by Rheb in a GTP-dependent manner. In cultured cells, the interaction is controlled by Rheb in response to changes in amino acid and growth factor conditions. Importantly, we found that the Rheb-dependent release of Bcl-XL from FKBP38 facilitates the association of this anti-apoptotic protein with the pro-apoptotic protein Bak. Consequently, when Rheb activity increases, cells become more resistant to apoptotic inducers. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism through which growth factors and amino acids control apoptosis.  相似文献

As co‐chaperones of the 90‐kDa heat shock protein(HSP90), FK506 binding protein 51 (FKBP51) and FK506 binding protein 52 (FKBP52) modulate the maturation of steroid hormone receptor through their specific FK1 domains (FKBP12‐like domain 1). The inhibitors targeting FK1 domains are potential therapies for endocrine‐related physiological disorders. However, the structural conservation of the FK1 domains between FKBP51 and FKBP52 make it difficult to obtain satisfactory selectivity in FK506‐based drug design. Fortunately, a series of iFit ligands synthesized by Hausch et al exhibited excellent selectivity for FKBP51, providing new opportunity for design selective inhibitors. We performed molecular dynamics simulation, binding free energy calculation and unbinding pathway analysis to reveal selective mechanism for the inhibitor iFit4 binding with FKBP51 and FKBP52. The conformational stability evaluation of the “Phe67‐in” and “Phe67‐out” states implies that FKBP51 and FKBP52 have different preferences for “Phe67‐in” and “Phe67‐out” states, which we suggest as the determinant factor for the selectivity for FKBP51. The binding free energy calculations demonstrate that nonpolar interaction is favorable for the inhibitors binding, while the polar interaction and entropy contribution are adverse for the inhibitors binding. According to the results from binding free energy decomposition, the electrostatic difference of residue 85 causes the most significant thermodynamics effects on the binding of iFit4 to FKBP51 and FKBP52. Furthermore, the importance of substructure units on iFit4 were further evaluated by unbinding pathway analysis and residue‐residue contact analysis between iFit4 and the proteins. The results will provide new clues for the design of selective inhibitors for FKBP51.  相似文献

The ryanodine receptor-calcium release channel complex (RyR) plays a pivotal role in excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal and cardiac muscle. RyR channel activity is modulated by interaction with FK506-binding protein (FKBP), and disruption of the RyR-FKBP association has been implicated in cardiomyopathy, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure. Evidence for an interaction between RyR and FKBP is well documented, both in skeletal muscle (RyR1-FKBP12) and in cardiac muscle (RyR2-FKBP12.6), however definition of the FKBP-binding site remains elusive. Early reports proposed interaction of a short RyR central domain with FKBP12/12.6, however this site has been questioned, and recently an alternative FKBP12.6 interaction site has been identified within the N-terminal half of RyR2. In this study, we report evidence for the human RyR2 C-terminal domain as a novel FKBP12.6-binding site. Using competition binding assays, we find that short C-terminal RyR2 fragments can displace bound FKBP12.6 from the native RyR2, although they are unable to exclusively support interaction with FKBP12.6. However, expression of a large RyR2 C-terminal construct in mammalian cells encompassing the pore-forming transmembrane domains exhibits rapamycin-sensitive binding specifically to FKBP12.6 but not to FKBP12. We also obtained some evidence for involvement of the RyR2 N-terminal, but not the central domain, in FKBP12.6 interaction. Our studies suggest that a novel interaction site for FKBP12.6 may be present at the RyR2 C terminus, proximal to the channel pore, a sterically appropriate location that would enable this protein to play a central role in the modulation of this critical ion channel.  相似文献

The FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38) is a pro-apoptotic regulator of Bcl-2 in neuroblastoma cells. Hsp90 inhibits the pro-apoptotic FKBP38/CaM/Ca(2+) complex and thus prevents interactions between FKBP38 and Bcl-2. Here we show that Hsp90 increases cell survival rates of neuroblastoma cells after apoptosis induction. Depletion of FKBP38 by short interference RNA significantly decreased the anti-apoptotic effect of Hsp90 expression. In addition, the influence of high cellular Hsp90 levels was only observed in post-stimulation apoptosis that is sensitive to selective FKBP38 active site inhibition. Similar anti-apoptotic effects in neuroblastoma cells were observed after stimulation of endogenous Hsp90 expression. Hence, the inhibition of FKBP38 by Hsp90 participates in programmed cell death control of neuroblastoma cells.  相似文献

The mitochondrial localization of the membrane proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) is essential for their anti-apoptotic function. Here we show that mitochondrial FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38), unlike FKBP12, binds to and inhibits calcineurin in the absence of the immunosuppressant FK506, suggesting that FKBP38 is an inherent inhibitor of this phosphatase. FKBP38 is associated with Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) in immunoprecipitation assays and colocalizes with these proteins in mitochondria; in addition, the expression of FKBP38 mutant proteins induces a marked redistribution of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L). Overexpression of FKBP38 blocks apoptosis, whereas functional inhibition of this protein by a dominant-negative mutant or by RNA interference promotes apoptosis. Thus, FKBP38 might function to inhibit apoptosis by anchoring Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) to mitochondria.  相似文献

FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38), a membrane-anchored, tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing immunophilin, associates with nascent plasma membrane ion channels in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It promotes the maturation of the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) potassium channel and maintains the steady state level of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using a combination of steady state and pulse-chase analyses, we show that FKBP38 knockdown increases protein synthesis but inhibits the post-translational folding of CFTR, leading to reduced steady state levels of CFTR in the ER, decreased processing, and impaired cell surface functional expression in Calu-3 human airway epithelial cells. The membrane anchorage of FKBP38 is necessary for the inhibition of protein synthesis but not for CFTR post-translational folding. In contrast, the peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase active site is utilized to promote CFTR post-translational folding but is not important for regulation of protein synthesis. Uncoupling FKBP38 from Hsp90 by substituting a conserved lysine in the TPR domain modestly enhances CFTR maturation and further reduces its synthesis. Removing the N-terminal glutamate-rich domain (ERD) slightly enhances CFTR synthesis but reduces its maturation, suggesting that the ERD contributes to FKBP38 biological activities. Our data support a dual role for FKBP38 in regulating CFTR synthesis and post-translational folding. In contrast to earlier prediction but consistent with in vitro enzymological studies, FKBP38 peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase plays an important role in membrane protein biogenesis on the cytoplasmic side of the ER membrane, whose activity is negatively regulated by Hsp90 through the TPR domain.  相似文献

The testes-specific peptidyl-prolyl cis/ trans isomerase FKBP36 plays a crucial role in male meiosis. Here we show that the catalytic domain of FKBP36 binds to clathrin heavy chain (CHC) of clathrin. Despite wild-type FKBP36 not displaying PPIase activity, the introduction of the R81L substitution resulted in catalysis of prolyl isomerization, which is comparable to the regulated activity of FKBP38. Furthermore, the TPR domain of FKBP36 interacts with Hsp72. In fact, FKBP36 preferentially binds to Hsp72 among the members of the Hsp70 family and is thus the first TPR-containing protein which discriminates between Hsp70 proteins. The clathrin-FKBP36-Hsp72 complexes resulting from both identified interactions are bound to the matrices of clathrin-coated vesicles in spermatocytes, which indicates a possible role of FKBP36 and Hsp72 in the disassembly of clathrin coats.  相似文献

FK506 binding proteins (FKBPs) belong to the family of peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) catalyzing the cis/trans isomerisation of Xaa-Pro bonds in oligopeptides and proteins. FKBPs are involved in folding, assembly and trafficking of proteins. However, only limited knowledge is available about the roles of FKBPs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and their interaction with other proteins. Here we show the ER located Neurospora crassa FKBP22 to be a dimeric protein with PPIase and a novel chaperone activity. While the homodimerization of FKBP22 is mediated by its carboxy-terminal domain, the amino-terminal domain is a functional FKBP domain. The chaperone activity is mediated by the FKBP domain but is exhibited only by the full-length protein. We further demonstrate a direct interaction between FKBP22 and BiP, the major Hsp70 chaperone in the ER. The binding to BiP is mediated by the FKBP domain of FKBP22. Interestingly BiP enhances the chaperone activity of FKBP22. Both proteins form a stable complex with an unfolded substrate protein and thereby prevent its aggregation. These results suggest that BiP and FKBP22 form a folding helper complex with a high chaperoning capacity in the ER of Neurospora crassa.  相似文献
