Studies of Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Transmembrane Domain Interactions: The EmEx-FRET Method

The energetics of transmembrane (TM) helix dimerization in membranes and the thermodynamic principles behind receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) TM domain interactions during signal transduction can be studied using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). For instance, FRET studies have yielded the stabilities of wild-type fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) TM domains and two FGFR3 pathogenic mutants, Ala391Glu and Gly380Arg, in the native bilayer environment. To further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of deregulated FGFR3 signaling underlying different pathologies, we determined the effect of the Gly382Asp FGFR3 mutation, identified in a multiple myeloma cell line, on the energetics of FGFR3 TM domain dimerization. We measured dimerization energetics using a novel FRET acquisition and processing method, termed “emission-excitation FRET (EmEx-FRET),” which improves the precision of thermodynamic measurements of TM helix association. The EmEx-FRET method, verified here by analyzing previously published data for wild-type FGFR3 TM domain, should have broad utility in studies of protein interactions, particularly in cases when the concentrations of fluorophore-tagged molecules cannot be controlled.

酪氨酸蛋白激酶和蛋白激酶C对N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖转移酶V的双重调控

在人肝癌细胞７７２１中研究了酪氨酸蛋白激酶（ＴＰＫ）和蛋白激酶Ｃ（ＰＫＣ）的激活剂［分别为表皮生长因子（ＥＧＦ）和佛波酯（ＰＭＡ）］和各种蛋白激酶抑制剂对Ｎ－乙酰氨基葡萄糖转移酶Ｖ（ＧｎＴ－Ｖ）活力的影响,以探讨ＴＰＫ和ＰＫＣ对ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的调节。结果发现,ＥＧＦ或ＰＭＡ处理细胞４８ｈ后,ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的活力明显增高;蛋白激酶的非特异性抑制剂槲皮素和染料木黄酮（ｇｅｎｉｓｔｅｉｎ）在抑制ＴＰＫ和ＰＫＣ的同时,抑制ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的基础活力,并完全阻断ＥＧＦ或ＰＭＡ对ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的增高作用;ＴＰＫ的特异性抑制剂Ｔｙｒｐｈｏｓｔｉｎ－２５和ＰＫＣ的特异性抑制剂Ｄ－鞘氨醇分别应用时,各自只能部分地取消ＥＧＦ或ＰＭＡ对ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的诱导。但当Ｔｙｒｐｈｏｓｔｉｎ－２５和Ｄ－鞘氨醇同时加入培养基中则可完全阻断ＥＧＦ或ＰＭＡ对ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的诱导激活。蛋白质合成抑制剂环己亚胺和蛋白激酶抑制剂作用相仿,不但可抑制ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的基础活力,也可完全消除ＥＧＦ或ＰＭＡ对ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的激活。以上结果提示ＥＧＦ或ＰＭＡ通过蛋白激酶调节ＧｎＴ－Ｖ的酶蛋白合成,并且ＧｎＴ－Ｖ受到膜性ＴＰＫ和ＰＫＣ的双重调节,其中ｍ－ＴＰＫ较ｍ－ＰＫＣ更为重要。

PI3-Kinase Is Involved in Mitogenic Signaling by the Oncogenic Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Xiphophorus Melanoma Receptor Kinase in Fish Melanoma

Overexpression of the mutationally activated receptor tyrosine kinase Xiphophorus melanoma receptor kinase (Xmrk) initiates formation of hereditary malignant melanoma in the fish Xiphophorus. In melanoma as well as in a melanoma-derived cell line (PSM) this receptor is highly activated resulting in constitutive Xmrk-mediated mitogenic signaling. In order to analyze mitogenic signaling triggered by Xmrk a possible involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3)-kinase in Xmrk signal transduction was examined. Constitutive binding of the p85 adapter subunit of PI3-kinase to the Xmrk receptor was detected in PSM melanoma cells. Further analyses in BHK cells expressing a Xmrk chimera (HER-mrk) showed that p85 association with the intracellular part of Xmrk was dependent on autophosphorylation of the receptor. In vitro binding studies revealed that the interaction is mediated mainly through the N-terminal SH2 domain of p85 which directly binds to a sequence motif around phosphorylated Tyr-983 in the Xmrk carboxy-terminus. In accordance with recruitment of p85 by Xmrk in PSM cells, the PI3-kinase downstream target Akt was found to be highly phosphorylated on Ser-473, indicating efficient PI3-kinase signaling in melanoma cells. PI3-kinase activation was also detected in Xiphophorus melanoma. Moreover, malignant melanomas exhibited an increased level of PI3-kinase activity which was about three times higher than that in benign pigmented lesions. Inhibition of PI3-kinase activity in PSM melanoma cells by both Wortmannin and LY294002 blocked entry into S-phase. Together these data demonstrate that PI3-kinase is a substrate of the oncogenic Xmrk receptor and plays a significant role in mitogenic signaling of melanoma cells and the formation of malignant melanoma in Xiphophorus.     

Polymorphism in the Immunoglobulin-like Domains of the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase from the Sponge Geodia Cydonium

Sponges [Porifera] are the phylogenetically oldest phylum of the Metazoa. They are provided with both cellular and humoral allorecognition systems. The underlying molecules are not yet known. To study allorecognition in sponges we first determined the frequency of graft rejection in a natural population of the marine sponge Geodia cvdonium. We then determined, for the first time at the molecular level, the degree of sequence polymorphism in segments of one molecule which may be related to sponge allorecognition and host defense: the Ig-like domains from the receptor tyrosine kinase [RTK]. Thirty six pairs of auto- and allografts were assayed, either by parabiotic attachment or insertion of grafts. All of the autografts fused, while only two allografts fused and 34 pairs were incompatibile. Rejection among the parabiotic allografts was characterized by the formation of a collagenous barrier, while the allografts that were inserted into the host underwent destruction. At the molecular level we first cloned to completion the 5′-end of sponge RTK, which displays a Pro-Ser-Thr-rich sequence; this is thought to act as a module of cell adhesion proteins. Then we analyzed RT-PCR products of amplification across the two Ig-like domains of RTK (about 500 bp), from two pairs of fusing sponges and one pair of rejecting sponges. High levels of polymorphism were recorded, including 18 nucleotide-substitution positions and a tri-nucleotide deletion, which translate into 13 polymorphic amino acid positions. Two of the six sponges were scored as heterozygotes. Among 9 informative polymorphic sites that were tested for linkage disequilibrium, 11 pairwise comparisons were found to be significant, implying the possibility of distinguishable alleles in this locus. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of polymorphism in Ig-like domains of a receptor from invertebrates that may be associated with allorecognition. This data attests also that fusion in sponges is not confined to genetically identical individuals.
