Tunicamycin inhibits the expression of surface Na+ channels in cultured muscle cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have investigated the effect of tunicamycin (TM), an inhibitor of protein glycosylation, on surface Na+ channels in cultured chick skeletal muscle cells. The expression of Na+ channels, estimated by the measurement of batrachotoxin (BTX)-activated 22Na+ uptake, was found to be significantly diminished after exposure of muscle cells to TM. This effect is partially reversed by the protease inhibitor leupeptin and is associated with a markedly enhanced rate of disappearance of Na+ channels from the surface of TM-treated cells. Our findings suggest that protein glycosylation contributes to the metabolic stability of voltage-sensitive Na+ channels. 相似文献

Murine T cell surface antigens, CD4 and CD8 are phosphorylated in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a protein kinase C activator, but not phosphorylated after concanavalin A, Ca2+ ionophore or dibutyryl-cAMP treatment. We examined the cell surface expression of both antigens and show that surface CD4 on CD4+CD8+ and CD4+CD8- thymocytes is rapidly decreased after PMA treatment, while CD8 expression is unaffected. Prolonged PMA treatment, which down-regulates protein kinase C, allows CD4 reexpression only in the CD4+CD8- population, suggesting that different mechanisms of cell surface antigen expression are operating in the two thymocyte subpopulations. 相似文献

N-linked glycosylation is not required for the cell surface expression of functional Shaker potassium channels in Xenopus oocytes (Santacruz-Toloza, L., Huang, Y., John, S. A., and Papazian, D. M. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 5607-5613). We have now investigated whether glycosylation increases the stability, cell surface expression, and proper folding of Shaker protein expressed in mammalian cells. The turnover rates of wild-type protein and an unglycosylated mutant (N259Q,N263Q) were compared in pulse-chase experiments. The wild-type protein was stable, showing little degradation after 48 h. In contrast, the unglycosylated mutant was rapidly degraded (t(1/2) = approximately 18 h). Lactacystin slowed the degradation of the mutant protein, implicating cytoplasmic proteasomes in its turnover. Rapid lactacystin-sensitive degradation could be conferred on wild-type Shaker by a glycosylation inhibitor. Expression of the unglycosylated mutant on the cell surface, assessed using immunofluorescence microscopy and biotinylation, was dramatically reduced compared with wild type. Folding and assembly were analyzed by oxidizing intersubunit disulfide bonds, which provides a fortuitous hallmark of the native structure. Surprisingly, formation of disulfide-bonded adducts was quantitatively similar in the wild-type and unglycosylated mutant proteins. Our results indicate that glycosylation increases the stability and cell surface expression of Shaker protein but has little effect on acquisition of the native structure. 相似文献

Tunicamycin (TM), an antibiotic that inhibits the formation of N-acetylglucosamine-lipid intermediates, thereby preventing the glycosylation of newly synthesized glycoproteins, inhibits the growth of Sindbis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus in BHK cells. At 0.5 mug of TM per ml, the replication of both viruses is inhibited 99.9%. Noninfectious particles were not detected. All the viral proteins were synthesized in the presence of TM, but the glycoproteins were selectively altered in that they migrated faster than normal viral glycoproteins when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting defective glycosylation. Within 1 h after TM addition, [14C]glucosamine incorporation into glycoproteins was inhibited 20%, whereas [35S]methionine incorporation was unaffected. By 2 to 3 h after TM addition, glucosamine incorporation had fallen to 15% of control value, with methionine incorporation being 60% of normal. TM did not affect the growth of the nomenveloped encephalomyocarditis virus in BHK cells, demonstrating that TM is not a general inhibitor of protein synthesis. These data demonstrate that TM specifically inhibits the glycosylation of viral glycoproteins and that glycosylation may be essential for the normal assembly of enveloped viral particles. 相似文献

Soybean cells in suspension culture incorporate [3H]mannose into dolichyl-phosphoryl-mannose and into lipid-linked oligosaccharides as well as into extracellular and cell wall macromolecules. Tunicamycin completely inhibited the formation of lipid-linked oligosaccharides at a concentration of 5 to 10 micrograms per milliliter, but it had no effect on the formation of dolichyl-phosphoryl-mannose. Tunicamycin did inhibit the incorporation of [3H]mannose into cell wall components and extracellular macromolecules, but even at 20 micrograms per milliliter of antibiotic there was still about 30% incorporation of mannose. The radioactivity in these macromolecules was localized in mannose (70%), rhamnose (20%), galactose (8%), and fucose (2%) in the absence of antibiotic. But when tunicamycin was added, very little radioactive mannose was found in cell wall or extracellular components. The incorporation of [3H]leucine into membrane components and [14C]proline into cell wall components by these suspension cultures was unaffected by tunicamycin. However, tunicamycin did inhibit the appearance of leucine-labeled extracellular macromolecules, probably because it prevented their secretion. 相似文献

Antigenic modulation was defined as the down-regulation of a cell surface antigen expression induced by exposure to specific antibody. We investigated the modulation of CD4 surface expression in human peripheral blood lymphocytes incubated in vitro with anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Modulation of surface CD4 was achieved at 37 degrees C, but not at 4 degrees C, with five different murine anti-CD4 mAbs of IgG1 and IgG2a subclasses, with different epitope specificities. Modulation was dose dependent with a maximum at nonsaturating mAb concentration. It was reversible upon culture in mAb-free medium. It was accelerated and amplified in the presence of monocytes or after cross-linking of anti-CD4 mAbs. It could be induced with solid phase anti-CD4 mAbs, but not with soluble F(ab')2 fragments. Its magnitude was identical on all CD4+ lymphocytes. It was associated with a moderate down-regulation of CD2 and CD3 but not of CD8 and HLA class I surface expression. Modulation was slightly augmented by addition of inhibitors of the endosome/lysosome pathway but not by protein synthesis inhibitors. The anti-CD4 mAb initially bound to cell surface was no longer detectable after 24 hr of culture. Most of surface CD4 proteins complexed with antibody were rapidly internalized and transiently replaced by CD4 from an intracytoplasmic pool and then no longer were expressed. CD4 mRNA was moderately decreased in cells incubated with anti-CD4 mAb while beta-actin and beta 2-microglobulin mRNAs remained at stable levels. It was concluded that down-regulation of CD4 surface expression induced by anti-CD4 mAb concerned only a part of CD4 molecules and was associated with a decreased synthesis. The delay required to achieve maximal modulation is likely to reflect exhaustion of the intracytoplasmic recycling pool of CD4 molecules. 相似文献

One of the hallmarks of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) infection is the rapid removal of the viral receptor CD4 from the cell surface. This remarkably efficient receptor interference requires the activity of three separate viral proteins: Env, Vpu, and Nef. We have investigated whether this unusually tight interference on cell surface CD4 expression had a more essential function during the viral life cycle than simply preventing superinfection. We now report that the removal of cell surface CD4 is required for optimal virus production by HIV-1. Indeed, maintenance of CD4 surface expression in infected cells lead to a 3-5-fold decrease in viral particle production. This effect was not due to the formation of intracellular complexes between CD4 and the gp160 viral envelope precursor but instead required the presence of CD4 at the cell surface and was specifically mediated by CD4 but not closely related plasma membrane receptors. The finding that CD4 had no significant effect on particle release by a Vpu-deficient variant indicates that CD4 acts by inhibiting the particle release-promoting activity of Vpu. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments further showed that CD4 and Vpu physically interact at the cell surface, suggesting that CD4 might inhibit Vpu activity by disrupting its oligomeric structure. 相似文献

During refolding and reassociation of chemically denatured non-glycosylated invertase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, aggregation competes with correct folding, leading to low yields of reactivation (Kern et al. (1992) Protein Sci. 1, 120-131). In the presence of the chaperone GroEL, refolding is completely arrested. This suggests the formation of a stable complex between GroEL and non-native non-glycosylated invertase. Addition of MgATP results in a slow release of active invertase from the chaperone complex. When GroEL/ES and MgATP are present during refolding, the final reactivation yield increases from 14% to 36%. In contrast, refolding of the core-glycosylated and the high-mannose glycosylated forms of invertase is not arrested by GroEL. Only a short lag phase at the beginning of reactivation and a slightly increased reactivation yield (64% to 86% for core-glycosylated and 62% to 76% for external invertase) indicate a weak interaction of the glycosylated forms with the chaperone. 相似文献

The transmembrane heterotrimer complex 10.4K/14.5K, also known as RID (for "receptor internalization and degradation"), is encoded by the adenovirus E3 region, and it down-regulates the cell surface expression of several unrelated receptors. We recently showed that RID expression correlates with down-regulation of the cell surface expression of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 1 in several human cells. This observation provided the first mechanistic explanation for the inhibition of TNF alpha-induced chemokines by RID. Here we analyze the immunoregulatory activities of RID on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta)-mediated responses. Although both signaling pathways are strongly inhibited by RID, the chemokines up-regulated by IL-1beta stimulation are only marginally inhibited. In addition, RID inhibits signaling induced by LPS without affecting the expression of the LPS receptor Toll-like receptor 4, demonstrating that RID need not target degradation of the receptor to alter signal transduction. Taken together, our data demonstrate the inhibitory effect of RID on two additional cell surface receptor-mediated signaling pathways involved in inflammatory processes. The data suggest that RID has intracellular targets that impair signal transduction and chemokine expression without evidence of receptor down-regulation. 相似文献

Optimal CD4+ T cell activation requires the cooperation of multiple signaling pathways coupled to the TCR-CD3 complex and to the CD28 costimulatory molecule. In this study, we have investigated the expression of surface CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in enriched populations of CD4+ T PBL, stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAbs, immobilized on plastic. Anti-CD3 alone induced a progressive down-regulation of surface CXCR4, accompanied by a significant decline in the entry of the HXB2 T cell line-tropic (X4-tropic) HIV-1 clone in CD4+ T cells. Of note, this effect was strictly dependent on the presence in culture of CD14+ monocytes. On the other hand, anti-CD28 alone induced a small but reproducible increase in the expression of surface CXCR4 as well as in the entry of HXB2 HIV-1 clone in resting CD4+ T cells. When the two mAbs were used in combination, anti-CD28 potently synergized with anti-CD3 in inducing the expression of CD69 activation marker and stimulating the proliferation of CD4+ T cells. On the other hand, anti-CD28 counteracted the CXCR4 down-modulation induced by anti-CD3. The latter effect was particularly evident when anti-CD28 was associated to suboptimal concentrations of anti-CD3. Because CXCR4 is the major coreceptor for the highly cytopathic X4-tropic HIV-1 strains, which preferentially replicate in proliferating CD4+ T cells, the ability of anti-CD28 to up-regulate the surface expression of CXCR4 in both resting and activated CD4+ T cells provides one relevant mechanism for the progression of HIV-1 disease. 相似文献

During T cell development, precursor thymocytes that co-express the CD4 and CD8 glycoproteins give rise to mature progeny expressing one of these molecules to the exclusion of the other. Continued expression of only CD4 is the hallmark of mature helper T cells, whereas cytotoxic T cells express CD8 and extinguish CD4. The differentiation program that generates the two T cell subsets is likely to be intimately tied to regulation of expression of these cell surface molecules. We now describe the use of a murine CD4 enhancer in the generation of transgenic mice expressing physiologic levels of human CD4. The transgene is appropriately regulated during T cell development and includes the necessary cis-acting sequences for extinguishing expression in the CD8 lineage. Furthermore, in mice whose endogenous CD4 gene is inactivated, the transgenic human CD4 mediates rescue of the CD4 lineage and restoration of normal helper cell functions. The generation of these mice exemplifies a general approach for developing reliable animal models for the human immune system. 相似文献

Vitamin C inhibits platelet expression of CD40 ligand 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Pignatelli P Sanguigni V Paola SG Lo Coco E Lenti L Violi F 《Free radical biology & medicine》2005,38(12):1662-1666
Upon stimulation with agonists, platelets express CD40 ligand (CD40L), a transmembrane protein implicated in the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic disease. We have recently discovered that oxidative stress plays a major role in platelet CD40L expression. In this study, we sought to determine whether vitamin C, a known antioxidant, is able to influence platelet CD40L expression. In vitro experiments were done by stimulating platelets with collagen in the presence or absence of vitamin C (50–100 μM) or vehicle as control. An in vivo study was done in 10 healthy subjects who were randomized to intravenous infusion of placebo or 1 g vitamin C for 45 min in a crossover design. At the end of infusion platelet CD40L and O2- were measured. The in vitro study demonstrated that vitamin C dose dependently inhibited platelet CD40L expression without affecting agonist-induced platelet aggregation. In subjects treated with placebo no changes of platelet CD40L and O2- were observed; conversely, vitamin C infusion caused a significant and parallel decrease of platelet O2- (−70%, P < 0.001) and CD40L (−68%, P < 0.001). Platelet aggregation was not modified by either treatment. This study suggests that water-soluble antioxidants, which scavenge superoxide radicals, may reduce platelet CD40L expression. 相似文献

Tunicamycin inhibits proteoglycan synthesis in rat ovarian granulosa cells in culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
M Yanagishita 《Archives of biochemistry and biophysics》1986,251(1):287-298
The effects of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis, on the synthesis and turnover of proteoglycans were investigated in rat ovarian granulosa cell cultures. The synthesis of proteoglycans was inhibited (40% of the control at 1.6 micrograms/ml tunicamycin) disproportionately to that of general protein synthesis measured by [3H]serine incorporation (80% of control). Proteoglycans synthesized in the presence of tunicamycin lacked N-linked oligosaccharides but contained apparently normal O-linked oligosaccharides. The dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate chains of the proteoglycans had the same hydrodynamic size as control when analyzed by Sepharose 6B chromatography. However, the disulfated disaccharide content of the dermatan sulfate chains was reduced by tunicamycin in a dose-dependent manner, implying that the N-linked oligosaccharides may be involved in the function of a sulfotransferase which is responsible for sulfation of the iduronic acid residues. When [35S]sulfate and [3H]glucosamine were used as labeling precursors, the ratio of 35S/3H in chondroitin 4-sulfate was reduced to approximately 50% of the control by tunicamycin, indicating that the drug reduced the supply of endogenous sugar to the UDP-N-acetylhexosamine pool. Neither transport of proteoglycans from Golgi to the cell surface nor their turnover from the cell surface (release into the medium, or internalization and subsequent intracellular degradation) was affected by the drug. Addition of mannose 6-phosphate to the culture medium did not alter the proteoglycan turnover. When granulosa cells were treated with cycloheximide, completion of proteoglycan diminished with a t1/2 of approximately 12 min, indicating the time required for depleting the core protein precursor pool. The glycosaminoglycan synthesizing capacity measured by the addition of p-nitrophenyl-beta-xyloside, however, lasted longer (t1/2 of approximately 40 min). Tunicamycin decreased the core protein precursor pool size in parallel to decreased proteoglycan synthesis, both of which were significantly greater than the inhibition of general protein synthesis. This suggests two possibilities: tunicamycin specifically inhibited the synthesis of proteoglycan core protein, or more likely a proportion of the synthesized core protein precursor (approximately 50%) did not become accessible for post-translational modifications, and was possibly routed for premature degradation. 相似文献

Conflicting results have been reported regarding the role of carbohydrate on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein gp120 in CD4 receptor binding. Glycosylated, deglycosylated, and nonglycosylated forms of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2 gp120s were used to examine CD4 receptor-binding activity. Nonglycosylated forms of gp120 generated either by deletion of the signal sequence of HIV-1 gp120 or by synthesis in the presence of tunicamycin failed to bind to CD4. In contrast, highly mannosylated gp120 bound to soluble CD4 molecules well. Enzymatic removal of carbohydrate chains from glycosylated gp120 by endoglycosidase H or an endoglycosidase F/N glycanase mixture had no effect on the ability of gp120 to bind CD4. An experiment which measured the ability of gp120 to bind to CD4 as an assay of the proper conformation of gp120 showed that carbohydrate chains on gp120 are not required for the interaction between gp120 and CD4 but that N-linked glycosylation is essential for generation of the proper conformation of gp120 to provide a CD4-binding site. 相似文献
