Kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) mediates chloride (Cl) and bicarbonate (HCO3) exchange at the basolateral membrane of kidney α-intercalated cells. Impaired trafficking of kAE1 leads to defect of the Cl/HCO3 exchange at the basolateral membrane and failure of proton (H+) secretion at the apical membrane, causing a kidney disease - distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). To gain a better insight into kAE1 trafficking, we searched for proteins physically interacting with the C-terminal region of kAE1 (Ct-kAE1), which contains motifs crucial for intracellular trafficking, by a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system. An adaptor-related protein complex 1 μ1A (AP-1 mu1A) subunit was found to interact with Ct-kAE1. The interaction between either Ct-kAE1 or full-length kAE1 and AP-1 mu1A were confirmed in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T by co-immunoprecipitation, affinity co-purification, co-localization, yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-based protein fragment complementation assay (PCA) and GST pull-down assay. The interacting site for AP-1 mu1A on Ct-kAE1 was found to be Y904DEV907, a subset of YXXØ motif. Interestingly, suppression of endogenous AP-1 mu1A in HEK 293T by small interfering RNA (siRNA) decreased membrane localization of kAE1 and increased its intracellular accumulation, suggesting for the first time that AP-1 mu1A is involved in the kAE1 trafficking of kidney α-intercalated cells.  相似文献

Kanadaptin (k¯idney anion exchanger adaptor protein) is a widely expressed protein, shown previously to interact with the cytosolic domain of mouse Cl?/HCO3? anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) but not erythroid AE1 (eAE1) by a yeast-two hybrid assay. Kanadaptin was co-localized with kAE1 in intracellular membranes but not at the plasma membrane in α-intercalated cells of rabbit kidney. It was suggested that kanadaptin is an adaptor protein or chaperone involved in targeting kAE1 to the plasma membrane. To test this hypothesis, the interaction of human kanadaptin with human kAE1 was studied in co-transfected HEK293 cells. Human kanadaptin contains 796 amino acids and was immuno-detected as a 90 kDa protein in transfected cells. Pulse-chase experiments showed that it has a half-life (t1/2) of 7 h. Human kanadaptin was localized predominantly to the nucleus, whereas kAE1 was present intracellularly and at the plasma membrane. Trafficking of kAE1 from its site of synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane was unaffected by co-expression of human kanadaptin. Moreover, we found that no interaction between human kanadaptin and kAE1 or eAE1 could be detected in co-transfected cells either by co-immunoprecipitation or by histidine6-tagged co-purification. Taken together, we found that human kanadaptin did not interact with kAE1 and had no effect on trafficking of kAE1 to the plasma membrane in transfected cells. Kanadaptin may not be involved in the biosynthesis and targeting of kAE1. As such, defects in kanadaptin and its interaction with kAE1 are unlikely to be involved in the pathogenesis of the inherited kidney disease, distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA).  相似文献

Abstract

Novel compound heterozygous mutations, G701D, a recessive mutation, and A858D, a mild dominant mutation, of human solute carrier family 4, anion exchanger, member 1 (SLC4A1) were identified in two pediatric patients with distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). To examine the interaction, trafficking, and cellular localization of the wild-type and two mutant kidney AE1 (kAE1) proteins, we expressed the proteins alone or together in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells. In individual expressions, wild-type kAE1 was localized at the cell surface of HEK 293T and the basolateral membrane of MDCK cells. In contrast, kAE1 G701D was mainly retained intracellularly, while kAE1 A858D was observed intracellularly and at the cell surface. In co-expression experiments, wild-type kAE1 formed heterodimers with kAE1 G701D and kAE1 A858D, and promoted the cell surface expression of the mutant proteins. The co-expressed kAE1 G701D and A858D could also form heterodimers but showed predominant intracellular retention in HEK 293T and MDCK cells. Thus impaired trafficking of the kAE1 G701D and A858D mutants would lead to a profound decrease in functional kAE1 at the basolateral membrane of α-intercalated cells in the distal nephron of the patients with dRTA.  相似文献

Kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) plays an important role in acid–base homeostasis by mediating chloride/bicarbornate (Cl?/HCO3?) exchange at the basolateral membrane of α‐intercalated cells in the distal nephron. Impaired intracellular trafficking of kAE1 caused by mutations of SLC4A1 encoding kAE1 results in kidney disease – distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). However, it is not known how the intracellular sorting and trafficking of kAE1 from trans‐Golgi network (TGN) to the basolateral membrane occurs. Here, we studied the role of basolateral‐related sorting proteins, including the mu1 subunit of adaptor protein (AP) complexes, clathrin and protein kinase D, on kAE1 trafficking in polarized and non‐polarized kidney cells. By using RNA interference, co‐immunoprecipitation, yellow fluorescent protein‐based protein fragment complementation assays and immunofluorescence staining, we demonstrated that AP‐1 mu1A, AP‐3 mu1, AP‐4 mu1 and clathrin (but not AP‐1 mu1B, PKD1 or PKD2) play crucial roles in intracellular sorting and trafficking of kAE1. We also demonstrated colocalization of kAE1 and basolateral‐related sorting proteins in human kidney tissues by double immunofluorescence staining. These findings indicate that AP‐1 mu1A, AP‐3 mu1, AP‐4 mu1 and clathrin are required for kAE1 sorting and trafficking from TGN to the basolateral membrane of acid‐secreting α‐intercalated cells.   相似文献

Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) can be caused by mutations in the gene encoding the anion exchanger 1 (AE1) and is characterized by defective urinary acidification, metabolic acidosis, and renal stones. AE1 is expressed at the basolateral membrane of type A intercalated cells in the renal cortical collecting duct (kAE1). Two dRTA mutations result in the carboxyl-terminal truncation of kAE1; in one case, the protein trafficked in a nonpolarized way in epithelial cells. A recent yeast two-hybrid assay showed that the carboxyl-terminal cytosolic domain of AE1 interacts with adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1A) subunit μ1A (mu-1A; Sawasdee N, Junking M, Ngaojanlar P, Sukomon N, Ungsupravate D, Limjindaporn T, Akkarapatumwong V, Noisakran S, Yenchitsomanus PT. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 401: 85-91, 2010). Here, we show the interaction between kAE1 and mu-1A and B in vitro by reciprocal coimmunoprecipitation in epithelial cells and in vivo by coimmunoprecipitation from mouse kidney extract. When endogenous mu-1A (and to a lesser extent mu-1B) was reduced, kAE1 protein was unable to traffic to the plasma membrane and was rapidly degraded via a lysosomal pathway. Expression of either small interfering RNA-resistant mu-1A or mu-1B stabilized kAE1 in these cells. We also show that newly synthesized kAE1 does not traffic through recycling endosomes to the plasma membrane, suggesting that AP-1B, located in recycling endosomes, is not primarily involved in trafficking of newly synthesized kAE1 when AP-1A is present in the cells. Our data demonstrate that AP-1A regulates processing of the basolateral, polytopic membrane protein kAE1 to the cell surface and that both AP-1A and B adaptor complexes are required for normal kAE1 trafficking.  相似文献

Mutations in the gene encoding the kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) can lead to distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). dRTA mutations reported within the carboxyl (C)-terminal tail of kAE1 result in apical mis-targeting of the exchanger in polarized renal epithelial cells. As kAE1 physically interacts with the μ subunit of epithelial adaptor protein 1 B (AP-1B), we investigated the role of heterologously expressed μ1B subunit of the AP-1B complex for kAE1 retention to the basolateral membrane in polarized porcine LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cells that are devoid of endogenous AP-1B. We confirmed the interaction and close proximity between kAE1 and μ1B using immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assay, respectively. Expressing the human μ1B subunit in these cells decreased significantly the amount of cell surface kAE1 at the steady state, but had no significant effect on kAE1 recycling and endocytosis. We show that (i) heterologous expression of μ1B displaces the physical interaction of endogenous GAPDH with kAE1?WT supporting that both AP-1B and GAPDH proteins bind to an overlapping site on kAE1 and (ii) phosphorylation of tyrosine 904 within the potential YDEV interaction motif does not alter the kAE1/AP-1B interaction. We conclude that μ1B subunit is not involved in recycling of kAE1.  相似文献

EMBO J 32 15, 2125–2139 doi:10.1038/emboj.2013.130; published online June072013Protein sorting pathways control correct delivery of membrane proteins to specific compartments of the plasma membrane and are required to maintain the physiological functions in all epithelia. Most clathrin-dependent cargoes require the adaptor protein complexes AP-1A and AP-1B for proper sorting to the basolateral plasma membrane. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Perez Bay et al (2013) shed light on the mechanism of basal-to-apical protein transport, or transcytosis, of the transferrin receptor in natively AP-1B-deficient epithelia. In AP-1B-deficient epithelia, the transferrin receptor transcytoses through the apical recycling endosome, and requires Rab11. Furthermore, they characterize a novel and specific role for the endosomal microtubule motor Kinesin KIF16B in transferrin receptor apical transport. These findings constitute the first characterization of a specific microtubule motor involved in basal-to-apical transcytosis in epithelia.Epithelial cells present a compartmentalized plasma membrane, where the composition of each compartment is tightly controlled by a precise protein and lipid sorting machinery (Folsch, 2008). The two most conspicuous compartments are the apical and basolateral domains, which generate and segregate from each other through the formation of apically localized junctional complexes. Protein sorting mechanisms ensure delivery of newly synthesized or recycled, protein components to their proper localization in either the apical or basolateral plasma membrane domains. Vectorial transport of proteins requires sorting determinants that are present in the cytoplasmic, transmembrane or extracellular domains. Most of the information that we have about these sorting determinants comes from the basolateral traffic, which depends on clathrin adaptor proteins (APs) AP-1A/B, AP-3 and AP-4 (Gonzalez and Rodriguez-Boulan, 2009). Specific APs bind to cytoplasmic sorting motifs in transmembrane proteins and recruit clathrin-coat components, which sequentially induce membrane curvature, clathrin oligomerization, vesicle budding and fission (Ohno, 2006; Hirst et al, 2011). Mammalian cells present five different AP complexes (AP1–5), each constituted by a heterotetramer of one α-, γ-, δ-, ɛ- or ζ-subunit, one β(1–5) subunit, one σ(1–5) subunit and one μ(1–5) subunit. How these clathrin-coated vesicles deliver membranes to precise compartments in the cell to regulate protein sorting is still poorly understood. The AP1 complex is a key regulator of basolateral polarity (Folsch et al, 1999; Gan et al, 2002; Gravotta et al, 2012). The AP1 complex μ-subunit presents two isoforms μ1A and μ1B, which define the formation of two different complexes, AP-1A and AP-1B, both required for basolateral polarity. AP-1A is ubiquitously expressed in different tissues and localizes mainly to the trans-Golgi network. In contrast, AP-1B is primarily localized to common recycling endosomes (CRE) and is specifically expressed in the majority of epithelial tissues, with the remarkable exception of retinal pigment epithelium and the proximal convoluted tubule in the nephron, which sort most of the basolateral cargo to the apical surface.A wide array of model membrane proteins requires AP-1B to properly localize to the basolateral membrane, including the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), the VSV-G protein and the transferrin receptor (TfR). Furthermore, the expression of μ1B in μ1B-deficient epithelial cell line LLC-PK1 is sufficient to prevent apical sorting of TfR, indicating that AP-1B is a main player in this clathrin-mediated basolateral sorting pathway. Interestingly, the results of the present study suggest that transcytosis (a membrane trafficking pathway that transports apical or basolateral proteins to the opposite domain in the plasma membrane) is the main mechanism for apical transport of clathrin-dependent cargoes in AP-1B-deficient cells. Basal-to-apical transcytosis of the polymeric IgA receptor (pIgAR) is the best-known transcytotic pathway, and requires several steps in which the receptor complex traverses multiple compartments before reaching a Rab11-positive apical recycling compartment, from where it is sorted to the apical plasma membrane (Golachowska et al, 2010). Polymeric IgA receptor transcytosis requires the function of cytoskeletal proteins for its correct delivery to the apical membrane, including microtubules and actin binding motors. However, no specific microtubule motor has ever been described associated with transcytosis.In the present study, Perez Bay et al (2013) analyse how the TfR is transported to the apical membrane in μ1B-deficient epithelia using as model system the retinal pigment epithelium cell line, which lacks AP-1B, and MDCK cells. They show that basolateral administration of labelled Tf results in its endocytosis and transcytosis towards the apical membrane in AP-1B-depleted MDCK cells, following a pathway that involves Rab11-positive apical recycling endosomes (AREs), and requires Rab11 for its correct delivery. Additionally, they find that TfR transport into AREs depends on microtubules and the kinesin KIF16B, a specific microtubule motor present in the CRE (Figure 1). KIF16B is a plus-end microtubule motor that binds to PtdIns(3)P and GTP-bound Rab14 and regulates the distribution of early endosomes (Hoepfner et al, 2005; Ueno et al, 2011). Surprisingly though, apical transport of pIgAR is not affected by the expression of a KIF16B-dominant negative mutant, which suggests that assembly of KIF16B/TfR carriers occurs downstream of cargo separation during transcytosis. It is also tempting to speculate that more than one transcytosis pathways are at play, and while TfR uses the KIF16B-dependent pathway, pIgAR is transported through a KIF16B independent mechanism. This article is the first study of KIF16B in epithelial cells, and the first showing involvement of a microtubule motor in transcytosis, more than 20 years after the pioneering studies that characterized the role of microtubules in this process (Hunziker et al, 1990).Open in a separate windowFigure 1KIF16B controls basal-to-apical transcytosis of transferrin receptor in AP-1B-deficient epithelia. In AP-1B-expressing epithelia (such as MDCK cells), transferrin receptor (TfR) is endocytosed and sorted to common recycling endosomes, where AP-1B-clathrin-vesicles assemble and transport the protein to the basolateral plasma membrane. In AP-1B-deficient epithelia (such as RPE cells), internalized TfR is instead sorted by the plus-end directed microtubule motor KIF16B towards the ARE, and then transcytosed to the apical plasma membrane through a Rab11-regulated pathway. Polymeric IgA receptor is internalized into the same basolateral endosomes, but it uses a KIF16B-independent pathway to reach the apical membrane.As a whole, this paper represents a significant advance in our understanding of the protein sorting machinery in epithelial cells, and importantly, opens new questions that will be addressed in future studies. First, is the KIF16B-dependent recycling/sorting pathway required for other cargoes, especially in AP-1B-positive epithelia? Second, why TfR, but not pIgAR, requires KIF16B for correct sorting? Although KIF16B is not required for pIgAR transcytosis, its transport route still requires microtubules, thus opening the possibility for discovery of additional microtubule motors involved in transcytosis. And finally, what is the mechanism of KIF16B binding to TfR-positive recycling endosomes? It is possible that the mechanism depends on the activation of Rab14, which has been characterized as a regulator of lipid-raft transport from the Golgi apparatus to recycling endosomes (Ueno et al, 2011).  相似文献

Autosomal dominant and recessive distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) can be caused by mutations in the anion exchanger 1 (AE1 or SLC4A1) gene, which encodes the erythroid chloride/bicarbonate anion exchanger membrane glycoprotein (eAE1) and a truncated kidney isoform (kAE1). The biosynthesis and trafficking of kAE1 containing a novel recessive missense dRTA mutation (kAE1 S773P) was studied in transiently transfected HEK-293 cells, expressing the mutant alone or in combination with wild-type kAE1 or another recessive mutant, kAE1 G701D. The kAE1 S773P mutant was expressed at a three times lower level than wild-type, had a 2-fold decrease in its half-life, and was targeted for degradation by the proteasome. It could not be detected at the plasma membrane in human embryonic kidney cells and showed predominant endoplasmic reticulum immunolocalization in both human embryonic kidney and LLC-PK1 cells. The oligosaccharide on a kAE1 S773P N-glycosylation mutant (N555) was not processed to the complex form indicating impaired exit from the endoplasmic reticulum. The kAE1 S773P mutant showed decreased binding to an inhibitor affinity resin and increased sensitivity to proteases, suggesting that it was not properly folded. The other recessive dRTA mutant, kAE1 G701D, also exhibited defective trafficking to the plasma membrane. The recessive kAE1 mutants formed dimers like wild-type AE1 and could hetero-oligomerize with wild-type kAE1 or with each other. Hetero-oligomers of wild-type kAE1 with recessive kAE1 S773P or G701D, in contrast to the dominant kAE1 R589H mutant, were delivered to the plasma membrane.  相似文献

The metal-dependent protein phosphatase family (PPM) governs a number of signaling pathways. PPM1L, originally identified as a negative regulator of stress-activated protein kinase signaling, was recently shown to be involved in the regulation of ceramide trafficking at ER-Golgi membrane contact sites. Here, we identified acyl-CoA binding domain containing 3 (ACBD3) as an interacting partner of PPM1L. We showed that this association, which recruits PPM1L to ER-Golgi membrane contact sites, is mediated by a GOLD (Golgi dynamics) domain in ACBD3. These results suggested that ACBD3 plays a pivotal role in ceramide transport regulation at the ER-Golgi interface.

Mycobacterium avium subsp hominissuis (M. avium) is a pathogen that infects and survives in macrophages. Previously, we have identified the M. avium MAV_2941 gene encoding a 73 amino acid protein exported by the oligopeptide transporter OppA to the macrophage cytoplasm. Mutations in MAV_2941 were associated with significant impairment of M. avium growth in THP-1 macrophages. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of MAV_2941 action and demonstrated that MAV_2941 interacts with the vesicle trafficking proteins syntaxin-8 (STX8), adaptor-related protein complex 3 (AP-3) complex subunit beta-1 (AP3B1) and Archain 1 (ARCN1) in mononuclear phagocytic cells. Sequencing analysis revealed that the binding site of MAV_2941 is structurally homologous to the human phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) chiefly in the region recognized by vesicle trafficking proteins. The β3A subunit of AP-3, encoded by AP3B1, is essential for trafficking cargo proteins, including lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP-1), to the phagosome and lysosome-related organelles. Here, we show that while the heat-killed M. avium when ingested by macrophages co-localizes with LAMP-1 protein, transfection of MAV_2941 in macrophages results in significant decrease of LAMP-1 co-localization with the heat-killed M. avium phagosomes. Mutated MAV_2941, where the amino acids homologous to the binding region of PI3K were changed, failed to interact with trafficking proteins. Inactivation of the AP3B1 gene led to alteration in the trafficking of LAMP-1. These results suggest that M. avium MAV_2941 interferes with the protein trafficking within macrophages altering the maturation of phagosome.  相似文献

Background

Enhanced lysosomal trafficking is associated with metastatic cancer. In an attempt to discover cancer relevant lysosomal motor proteins, we compared the lysosomal proteomes from parental MCF-7 breast cancer cells with those from highly invasive MCF-7 cells that express an active form of the ErbB2 (ΔN-ErbB2).

Methodology/Principal Findings

Mass spectrometry analysis identified kinesin heavy chain protein KIF5B as the only microtubule motor associated with the lysosomes in MCF-7 cells, and ectopic ΔN-ErbB2 enhanced its lysosomal association. KIF5B associated with lysosomes also in HeLa cervix carcinoma cells as analyzed by subcellular fractionation. The depletion of KIF5B triggered peripheral aggregations of lysosomes followed by lysosomal destabilization, and cell death in HeLa cells. Lysosomal exocytosis in response to plasma membrane damage as well as fluid phase endocytosis functioned, however, normally in these cells. Both HeLa and MCF-7 cells appeared to express similar levels of the KIF5B isoform but the death phenotype was weaker in KIF5B-depleted MCF-7 cells. Surprisingly, KIF5B depletion inhibited the rapamycin-induced accumulation of autophagosomes in MCF-7 cells. In KIF5B-depleted cells the autophagosomes formed and accumulated in the close proximity to the Golgi apparatus, whereas in the control cells they appeared uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm.

Conclusions/Significance

Our data identify KIF5B as a cancer relevant lysosomal motor protein with additional functions in autophagosome formation.  相似文献

In the present work we used various cell lines in order to study the possible effect of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) entry on the adenylyl cyclase transmembrane signalling system. A significant decrease (by about 10–20%) was found in forskolin-augmented as well as in AlF 4 - and GTPS-sensitive adenylyl cyclase activity in plasma membranes isolated from HeLa, HEp-2, Vero and green monkey kidney cells shortly (up to 60 min) preincubated with CVB3 (5 PFU/cell). Moreover, the ability of G-proteins derived from plasma membranes of infected cells to reconstitute AC activity in the cyc mutant of S49 cells was also reduced. Content of G-protein subunits, however, remained unchanged after CVB3 attachment. Functional alterations in the G-protein-mediated adenylyl cyclase signalling system were accompanied by a marked decrease (by about 20–40%) of intracellular cAMP levels in virus-affected cells. These findings demonstrate clearly that CVB3 may affect functioning of the G-protein regulated adenylyl cyclase transmembrane signalling system in virus-sensitive cells as early as during the first period of its contact with the cellular plasma membrane.  相似文献

dRTA (distal renal tubular acidosis) results from the failure of the a-intercalated cells in the distal tubule of the nephron to acidify the urine. A truncated form of AE1 (anion-exchanger 1; Band 3), kAE1 (kidney isoform of AE1), is located in the basolateral membrane of the intercalated cell. Mutations in the AE1 gene cause autosomal dominant and recessive forms of dRTA. All the dominant dRTA mutations investigated cause aberrant trafficking of kAE1, resulting in its intracellular retention or mistargeting to the apical plasma membrane. Therefore the intracellular retention of hetero-oligomers containing wild-type and dRTA mutants, or the mistargeted protein in the apical membrane neutralizing acid secretion, explains dominant dRTA. The kAE1 (Arg(901)-->stop) mutant has been studied in more detail, since the mistargeting kAE1 (Arg(901)-->stop) from the basolateral to the apical membrane is consistent with the removal of a basolateral localization signal. The C-terminal amino acids deleted by the Arg(901)-->stop mutation, contain a tyrosine motif and a type II PDZ interaction domain. The tyrosine residue (Tyr(904)), but not the PDZ domain, is critical for basolateral localization. In the absence of the N-terminus of kAE1, the C-terminus was not sufficient to localize kAE1 to the basolateral membrane. This suggests that a determinant within the kAE1 N-terminus co-operates with the C-terminus for kAE1 basolateral localization. Interestingly, Tyr(359), in the N-terminal domain, and Tyr(904) in the C-terminus of AE1 are phosphorylated in red blood cells. A potential scheme is suggested where successive phosphorylation of these residues is necessary for correct localization and recycling of kAE1 to the basolateral membrane.  相似文献

Mutations in the SLC4A1 gene encoding the anion exchanger 1 (AE1) can cause distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), a disease often due to mis-trafficking of the mutant protein. In this study, we investigated whether trafficking of a Golgi-retained dRTA mutant, G701D kAE1, or two dRTA mutants retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, C479W and R589H kAE1, could be functionally rescued to the plasma membrane of Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells. Treatments with DMSO, glycerol, the corrector VX-809, or low temperature incubations restored the basolateral trafficking of G701D kAE1 mutant. These treatments had no significant rescuing effect on trafficking of the mis-folded C479W or R589H kAE1 mutants. DMSO was the only treatment that partially restored G701D kAE1 function in the plasma membrane of MDCK cells. Our experiments show that trafficking of intracellularly retained dRTA kAE1 mutants can be partially restored, and that one chemical treatment rescued both trafficking and function of a dRTA mutant. These studies provide an opportunity to develop alternative therapeutic solutions for dRTA patients.  相似文献

Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), a kidney disease resulting in defective urinary acidification, can be caused by dominant or recessive mutations in the kidney Cl-/HCO3- anion exchanger (kAE1), a glycoprotein expressed in the basolateral membrane of alpha-intercalated cells. We compared the effect of two dominant (R589H and S613F) and two recessive (S773P and G701D) dRTA point mutations on kAE1 trafficking in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells. In contrast to wild-type (WT) kAE1 that was localized to the basolateral membrane, the dominant mutants (kAE1 R589H and S613F) were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in MDCK cells, with a few cells showing in addition some apical localization. The recessive mutant kAE1 S773P, while misfolded and largely retained in the ER in non-polarized MDCK cells, was targeted to the basolateral membrane after polarization. The other recessive mutants, kAE1 G701D and designed G701E, G701R but not G701A or G701L mutants, were localized to the Golgi in both non-polarized and polarized cells. The results suggest that introduction of a polar mutation into a transmembrane segment resulted in Golgi retention of the recessive G701D mutant. When coexpressed, the dominant mutants retained kAE1 WT intracellularly, while the recessive mutants did not. Coexpression of recessive G701D and S773P mutants in polarized cells showed that these proteins could interact, yet no G701D mutant was detected at the basolateral membrane. Therefore, compound heterozygous patients expressing both recessive mutants (G701D/S773P) likely developed dRTA due to the lack of a functional kAE1 at the basolateral surface of alpha-intercalated cells.  相似文献

Na+/K+‐ATPase (NKA) participates in setting electrochemical gradients, cardiotonic steroid signaling and cellular adhesion. Distinct isoforms of NKA are found in different tissues and subcellular localization patterns. For example, NKA α1 is widely expressed, NKA α3 is enriched in neurons and NKA α4 is a testes‐specific isoform found in sperm flagella. In some tissues, ankyrin, a key component of the membrane cytoskeleton, can regulate the trafficking of NKA. In the retina, NKA and ankyrin‐B are expressed in multiple cell types and immunostaining for each is striking in the synaptic layers. Labeling for NKA is also prominent along the inner segment plasma membrane (ISPM) of photoreceptors. NKA co‐immunoprecipitates with ankyrin‐B, but on a subcellular level colocalization of these two proteins varies dependent on the cell type. We used transgenic Xenopus laevis tadpoles to evaluate the subcellular trafficking of NKA in photoreceptors. GFP‐NKA α3 and α1 are localized to the ISPM, but α4 is localized to outer segments (OSs). We identified a VxP motif responsible for the OS targeting by using a series of chimeric and mutant NKA constructs. This motif is similar to previously identified ciliary targeting motifs. Given the structural similarities between OSs and flagella, our findings shed light on the subcellular targeting of this testes‐specific NKA isoform.   相似文献

A water-insoluble (1 → 3)-β-d-glucan (PCSG) isolated from the fresh sclerotium of Poria cocos was carboxymethylated to afford a water-soluble derivative coded as C-PCSG. The carboxymethylated (1 → 3)-β-d-glucan was fractionated to obtain eight fractions according to the nonsolvent addition method. The weight-average molecular mass (Mw), radius of gyration and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) of the fractions were determined by size-exclusion chromatography combined with laser light scattering (SEC-LLS) and viscometry in 0.2 M NaCl aqueous solution at 25 °C. The dependences of [η] and on Mw for C-PCSG were found to be , and (nm), respectively. Analysis of Mw and [η] in terms of the known theories for wormlike chain model yielded 633 nm−1 for molar mass per unit contour length (ML), 5.5 nm for persistence length (q), and 20.2 for characteristic ratio (C). These results indicated that C-PCSG exists as a relatively extended flexible chain in 0.2 M NaCl aqueous solution. Therefore, the introduction of the carboxymethyl groups into the β-glucan improved significantly the water solubility and enhanced the stiffness of the chains.  相似文献
