Six charged amino acid residues located in the ectodomain of the full-length type I transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta receptor were individually mutated to alanine. Mutation of residues D47, D98, K102 and E104 resulted in functionally impaired receptors as demonstrated by a marked decrease in ligand-dependent signaling and ligand internalization relative to the wild-type receptor. The other two mutants (K39A and K87A) exhibited wild-type-like activity. Molecular modeling indicates that the four functionally important residues are located on the convex face of the ectodomain structure. Since mutation of these four residues affects signaling and ligand internalization but not ligand binding, we propose that this functional site is an interacting site between type I and II receptors. 相似文献

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a pattern recognition receptor involved in?inflammatory processes and is associated with diabetic complications, tumor outgrowth, and neurodegenerative disorders. RAGE induces cellular signaling events upon binding of a variety of ligands, such as glycated proteins, amyloid-β, HMGB1, and S100 proteins. The X-ray crystal structure of the VC1 ligand-binding region of the human RAGE ectodomain was determined at 1.85?? resolution. The VC1 ligand-binding surface was mapped onto the structure from titrations with S100B monitored by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. These NMR chemical shift perturbations were used as input for restrained docking calculations to generate a model for the VC1-S100B complex. Together, the arrangement of VC1 molecules in the crystal and complementary biochemical studies suggest a role for self-association in RAGE function. Our results enhance understanding of the functional outcomes of S100 protein binding to RAGE and provide insight into mechanistic models for how the receptor is activated. 相似文献

Interaction of the pattern recognition receptor, RAGE with key ligands such as advanced glycation end products (AGE), S100 proteins, amyloid β, and HMGB1 has been linked to diabetic complications, inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. To help answer the question of how a single receptor can recognize and respond to a diverse set of ligands we have investigated the structure and binding properties of the first two extracellular domains of human RAGE, which are implicated in various ligand binding and subsequent signaling events. The 1.5-Å crystal structure reveals an elongated molecule with a large basic patch and a large hydrophobic patch, both highly conserved. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and deletion experiments indicate S100B recognition by RAGE is an entropically driven process involving hydrophobic interaction that is dependent on Ca2+ and on residues in the C′D loop (residues 54–67) of domain 1. In contrast, competition experiments using gel shift assays suggest that RAGE interaction with AGE is driven by the recognition of negative charges on AGE-proteins. We also demonstrate that RAGE can bind to dsDNA and dsRNA. These findings reveal versatile structural features of RAGE that help explain its ability to recognize of multiple ligands. 相似文献

The receptor for advanced glycated end products (RAGE) is a multiligand receptor that is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including diabetic complications, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory responses. The ability of RAGE to recognize advanced glycated end products (AGEs) formed by nonenzymatic glycoxidation of cellular proteins places RAGE in the category of pattern recognition receptors. The structural mechanism of AGE recognition was an enigma due to the diversity of chemical structures found in AGE-modified proteins. Here, using NMR spectroscopy we showed that the immunoglobulin V-type domain of RAGE is responsible for recognizing various classes of AGEs. Three distinct surfaces of the V domain were identified to mediate AGE-V domain interactions. They are located in the positively charged areas of the V domain. The first interaction surface consists of strand C and loop CC ', the second interaction surface consists of strand C ', strand F, and loop FG, and the third interaction surface consists of strand A ' and loop EF. The secondary structure elements of the interaction surfaces exhibit significant flexibility on the ms-micros time scale. Despite highly specific AGE-V domain interactions, the binding affinity of AGEs for an isolated V domain is low, approximately 10 microm. Using in-cell fluorescence resonance energy transfer we show that RAGE is a constitutive oligomer on the plasma membrane. We propose that constitutive oligomerization of RAGE is responsible for recognizing patterns of AGE-modified proteins with affinities less than 100 nm. 相似文献

Receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) is a transmembrane protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily.
RAGE is expressed ubiquitously-high in lung and moderate to low in a wide range of cells-in a tightly regulated manner at
various stages of development. RAGE is a pattern recognition receptor that binds to multiple ligands, including amphoterin,
members of the S100/calgranulin family, the integrin Mac-1, and amyloid β-peptide (Aβ). RAGE-ligand engagement effects the
activation of diverse cascades that initiate and stimulate chronic stress pathways and repair, depending on the ligand, environment,
and developmental stage. Further, RAGE-ligand interaction and the consequent upregulation of RAGE through a positive feedback
loop are often associated with various diseases, including vascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease.
It is unknown how RAGE mediates these events, but such phenomena appear to be linked to the inflammatory response. In this
review, we summarize the findings on RAGE from published reports and ongoing studies. Also, the implication of RAGE in Alzheimer
disease, the most common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly population, will be discussed, with a focus on Aβ-RAGE interactions
with regard to signaling pathways and their impact on cellular activity. 相似文献

Glycoprotein hormone receptors are G protein-coupled receptors with ligand-binding ectodomains consisting of leucine-rich repeats. The ectodomain is connected by a conserved cysteine-rich hinge region to the seven transmembrane (TM) region. Gain-of-function mutants of luteinizing hormone (LH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors found in patients allowed identification of residues important for receptor activation. Based on constitutively active mutations at Ser-281 in the hinge region of the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor, we mutated the conserved serine in the LH (S277I) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptors (S273I) and observed increased basal cAMP production and ligand affinity by mutant receptors. For the LH receptor, conversion of Ser-277 to all natural amino acids led to varying degrees of receptor activation. Hydropathy index analysis indicated that substitution of neutral serine with selective nonpolar hydrophobic residues (Leu>Val>Met>Ile) confers constitutive receptor activation whereas serine deletion or substitution with charged Arg, Lys, or Asp led to defective receptor expression. Furthermore, mutation of the angular proline near Ser-273 to flexible Gly also led to receptor activation. The findings suggest the ectodomain of glycoprotein hormone receptors constrain the TM region. Point mutations in the hinge region of these proteins, or ligand binding to these receptors, could cause conformational changes in the TM region that result in G(s) activation. 相似文献

Peptide inhibitors of Methuselah (Mth), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), were reported that can extend the life span of Drosophila melanogaster. Mth is a class B GPCR, which is characterized by a large, N-terminal ectodomain that is often involved with ligand recognition. The crystal structure of the Mth ectodomain, which binds to the peptide inhibitors with high affinity, was previously determined. Here we report the predicted structures for RWR motif peptides in complex with the Mth ectodomain. We studied representatives of both Pro-class and Arg-class RWR motif peptides and identified ectodomain residues Asp139, Phe130, Asp127, and Asp78 as critical in ligand binding. To validate these structures, we predicted the effects of various ligand mutations on the structure and binding to Mth. The binding of five mutant peptides to Mth was characterized experimentally by surface plasmon resonance, revealing measured affinities that are consistent with predictions. The electron density map calculated from our MD structure compares well with the experimental map of a previously determined peptide/Mth crystal structure and could be useful in refining the current low-resolution data. The elucidation of the ligand binding site may be useful in analyzing likely binding sites in other class B GPCRs. 相似文献

The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) is a multiligand receptor that binds a variety of structurally and functionally unrelated ligands, including advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), amyloid fibrils, amphoterin, and members of the S100 family of proteins. The receptor has been implicated in the pathology of diabetes as well as in inflammatory processes and tumor cell metastasis. For the present study, the extracellular region of RAGE (exRAGE) was expressed as a soluble, C-terminal hexahistidine-tagged fusion protein in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli. Proper processing and folding of the purified protein, predicted to contain three immunoglobulin-type domains, was supported by the results of electrospray mass spectroscopy and circular dichroism experiments. Sedimentation velocity experiments showed that exRAGE was primarily monomeric in solution. Binding to several RAGE ligands, including AGE-BSA, immunoglobulin light chain amyloid fibrils, and glycosaminoglycans, was demonstrated using pull-down, dot-blot, or enzyme-linked microplate assays. Using surface plasmon resonance, the interaction of exRAGE with AGE-BSA was shown to fit a two-site model, with KD values of 88 nM and 1.4 microM. The E. coli-derived exRAGE did not bind the advanced glycation endproduct Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine, as reported for the cellular receptor, and the possible role of RAGE glycosylation in recognition of this ligand is discussed. This new RAGE construct will facilitate detailed studies of RAGE-ligand interactions and provides a platform for preparation of site-directed mutants for future structure/function studies. 相似文献

N -Glycans on the receptor for advanced glycation end products influence amphoterin binding and neurite outgrowth 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Srikrishna G Huttunen HJ Johansson L Weigle B Yamaguchi Y Rauvala H Freeze HH 《Journal of neurochemistry》2002,80(6):998-1008
In this study we show that embryonic neurite growth-promoting protein amphoterin binds to carboxylated N -glycans previously identified on mammalian endothelial cells. Since amphoterin is a ligand for the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and the ligand-binding V-domain of the receptor contains two potential N -glycosylation sites, we hypothesized that N -glycans on RAGE may mediate its interactions with amphoterin. In support of this, anti-carboxylate antibody mAbGB3.1 immunoprecipitates bovine RAGE, and PNGase F treatment reduces its molecular mass by 4.5 kDa, suggesting that the native receptor is a glycoprotein. The binding potential of amphoterin to RAGE decreases significantly in presence of soluble carboxylated glycans or when the receptor is deglycosylated. Oligosaccharide analysis shows that RAGE contains complex type anionic N -glycans with non-sialic acid carboxylate groups, but not the HNK-1 (3-sulfoglucuronyl beta1-3 galactoside) epitope. Consistent with the functional localization of RAGE and amphoterin at the leading edges of developing neurons, mAbGB3.1 stains axons and growth cones of mouse embryonic cortical neurons, and inhibits neurite outgrowth on amphoterin matrix. The carboxylated glycans themselves promote neurite outgrowth in embryonic neurons and RAGE-transfected neuroblastoma cells. This outgrowth requires full-length, signalling-competent RAGE, as cells expressing cytoplasmic domain-deleted RAGE are unresponsive. These results indicate that carboxylated N -glycans on RAGE play an important functional role in amphoterin-RAGE-mediated signalling. 相似文献

The family of RAGE ligands, including Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs), S100/calgranulins, High Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB1) and amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) and beta-sheet fibrils are highly enriched in immune and inflammatory foci. In parallel, upregulation of Receptor for AGE (RAGE) is noted in diverse forms of inflammation and autoimmunity, based on experiments examining human tissues as well as animal models. Indeed, prior to the demonstration that S100/calgranulins were signal transduction ligands of RAGE, these molecules were considered "biomarkers" of disease and disease activity in disorders such as colitis and arthritis. Premiere roles for RAGE in advancing cellular migration implicate this receptor in targeting immune cells to vulnerable foci. Once engaged, ligand-RAGE interaction in inflammatory and vascular cells amplifies upregulation of inflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Discerning the primal versus chronic injury-provoking roles for this ligand-receptor interaction is a challenge in delineating the functions of the ligand/RAGE axis. As RAGE is expressed by many of the key cell types linked integrally to the immune response, we propose that the sites and time course of ligand-RAGE stimulation determine the phenotype produced by this axis. Ultimately, drawing the fine line between antagonism versus stimulation of the receptor in health and disease will depend on the full characterization of RAGE in repair versus injury. 相似文献

Conserved negatively charged residues are not required for ATP action at P2X(1) receptors. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The role of conserved negatively charged aspartic (D) and glutamic (E) acid residues within the ectodomain of the human P2X(1) receptor were examined by alanine substitution mutagenesis. Effects on ATP potency and cell surface localisation were assessed in Xenopus oocytes using the two electrode voltage clamp technique and cell surface biotinylation. Of the eleven residues tested no major shifts in ATP potency were observed with EC(50) values for ATP ranging from 0.8 to 4.3 microM (compared to 1 microM ATP for wild-type P2X(1) receptors). Peak current amplitudes for mutants D86A and D264A where reduced by approximately 90% due to a corresponding reduction in both total protein and cell surface expression. These results demonstrate that individual conserved negatively charged amino acids are not essential for ATP recognition by the human P2X(1) receptor and coordinated binding of the positive charge on magnesium complexed ATP by negatively charged amino acids is not required. 相似文献

Activation of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) leads to a chronic proinflammatory signal, affecting patients with a variety of diseases. Potentially beneficial modification of RAGE activity requires understanding the signal transduction mechanism at the molecular level. The ligand binding domain is structurally uncoupled from the cytoplasmic domain, suggesting receptor oligomerization is a requirement for receptor activation. In this study, we used hydrogen-deuterium exchange and mass spectrometry to map structural differences between the monomeric and oligomeric forms of RAGE. Our results indicated the presence of a region shielded from exchange in the oligomeric form of RAGE and led to the identification of a new oligomerization interface localized at the linker region between domains C1 and C2. Based on this finding, a model of a RAGE dimer and higher oligomeric state was constructed. 相似文献

Receptor for advanced glycation end products is subjected to protein ectodomain shedding by metalloproteinases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a 55-kDa type I membrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Ligand-induced up-regulation of RAGE is involved in various pathophysiological processes, including late diabetic complications and Alzheimer disease. Application of recombinant soluble RAGE has been shown to block RAGE-mediated pathophysiological conditions. After expression of full-length RAGE in HEK cells we identified a 48-kDa soluble RAGE form (sRAGE) in the culture medium. This variant of RAGE is smaller than a 51-kDa soluble version derived from alternative splicing. The release of sRAGE can be induced by the phorbol ester PMA and the calcium ionophore calcimycin via calcium-dependent protein kinase C subtypes. Hydroxamic acid-based metalloproteinase inhibitors block the release of sRAGE, and by RNA interference experiments we identified ADAM10 and MMP9 to be involved in RAGE shedding. In protein biotinylation experiments we show that membrane-anchored full-length RAGE is the precursor of sRAGE and that sRAGE is efficiently released from the cell surface. We identified cleavage of RAGE to occur close to the cell membrane. Ectodomain shedding of RAGE simultaneously generates sRAGE and a membrane-anchored C-terminal RAGE fragment (RAGE-CTF). The amount of RAGE-CTF increases when RAGE-expressing cells are treated with a gamma-secretase inhibitor, suggesting that RAGE-CTF is normally further processed by gamma-secretase. Identification of these novel mechanisms involved in regulating the availability of cell surface-located RAGE and its soluble ectodomain may influence further research in RAGE-mediated processes in cell biology and pathophysiology. 相似文献

The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) interacts with distinct ligand families linked to the inflammatory
response. Studies in animal models suggest that RAGE is upregulated in the inflamed joint and that blockade of the receptor,
using a ligand decoy soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE), attenuates joint inflammation and expression of inflammatory and tissue-destructive
mediators. In this issue of Arthritis Research &; Therapy, Rille Pullerits and colleagues reported that plasma levels of sRAGE were reduced in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis compared
with healthy controls or subjects with non-inflammatory joint disease. These findings suggest the possibility that levels
of sRAGE might be a biomarker of inflammation. Not resolved by these studies, however, is the intriguing possibility that
endogenously higher levels of sRAGE might be linked to a lower incidence of arthritis or to the extent of inflammation. Nevertheless,
although 'cause or effect' relationships may not be established in this report, fascinating insights into RAGE, inflammation
and human arthritis emerge from these studies. 相似文献

We developed a system to study the function of the ectodomain of RPTPalpha, a transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase, by fusing the HA-epitope tagged ectodomain of RPTPalpha to the transmembrane and intracellular domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR, a receptor protein-tyrosine kinase that is activated by dimerization. Although the use of chemical crosslinkers shows that preformed HARPTPalpha-EGFR dimers exist, bivalent anti-HA-tag antibody activated HARPTPalpha-EGFR chimeras, suggesting this system may be used to study regulation of dimerization. We used this system to show that newborn calf serum may contain (a) potential ligand(s) for RPTPalpha. Our results suggest that RPTPalpha dimerization and thus activity may be affected by ligand binding. 相似文献

We reported that RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products), a multiligand receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily expressed in myoblasts, when activated by its ligand amphoterin (HMGB1), stimulates rat L6 myoblast differentiation via a Cdc42-Rac-MKK6-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, and that RAGE expression in skeletal muscle tissue is developmentally regulated. We show here that inhibition of RAGE function via overexpression of a signaling deficient RAGE mutant (RAGE delta cyto) results in increased myoblast proliferation, migration, and invasiveness, and decreased apoptosis and adhesiveness, whereas myoblasts overexpressing RAGE behave the opposite, compared with mock-transfected myoblasts. These effects are accompanied by a decreased induction of the proliferation inhibitor, p21(Waf1), and increased induction of cyclin D1 and extent of Rb, ERK1/2, and JNK phosphorylation in L6/RAGE delta cyto myoblasts, the opposite occurring in L6/RAGE myoblasts. Neutralization of culture medium amphoterin negates effects of RAGE activation, suggesting that amphoterin is the RAGE ligand involved in RAGE-dependent effects in myoblasts. Finally, mice injected with L6/RAGE delta cyto myoblasts develop tumors as opposed to mice injected with L6/RAGE or L6/mock myoblasts that do not. Thus, the amphoterin/RAGE pair stimulates myoblast differentiation by the combined effect of stimulation of differentiation and inhibition of proliferation, and deregulation of RAGE expression in myoblasts might contribute to their neoplastic transformation. 相似文献

Interaction between the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligands amplifies the proinflammatory response. N-Linked glycosylation of RAGE plays an important role in the regulation of ligand binding. Two potential sites for N-linked glycosylation, at Asn(25) and Asn(81), are implicated, one of which is potentially influenced by a naturally occurring polymorphism that substitutes Gly(82) with Ser. This G82S polymorphic RAGE variant displays increased ligand binding and downstream signaling. We hypothesized that the G82S polymorphism affects RAGE glycosylation and thereby affects ligand binding. WT or various mutant forms of RAGE protein, including N25Q, N81Q, N25Q/G82S, and N25Q/N81Q, were produced by transfecting HEK293 cells. The glycosylation patterns of expressed proteins were compared. Enzymatic deglycosylation showed that WT RAGE and the G82S polymorphic variant are glycosylated to the same extent. Our data also revealed N-linked glycosylation of N25Q and N81Q mutants, suggesting that both Asn(25) and Asn(81) can be utilized for N-linked glycosylation. Using mass spectrometry analysis, we found that Asn(81) may or may not be glycosylated in WT RAGE, whereas in G82S RAGE, Asn(81) is always glycosylated. Furthermore, RAGE binding to S100B ligand is affected by Asn(81) glycosylation, with consequences for NF-κB activation. Therefore, the G82S polymorphism promotes N-linked glycosylation of Asn(81), which has implications for the structure of the ligand binding region of RAGE and might explain the enhanced function associated with the G82S polymorphic RAGE variant. 相似文献

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) elicit inflammatory responses via the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) and participate in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. An earlier study showed that 3-hydroxypyridinium (3-HP), a common moiety of toxic AGEs such as glyceraldehyde-derived pyridinium (GLAP) and GA-pyridine, is essential for the interaction with RAGE. However, the physiological significance of 3-HP recognition by RAGE remains unclear. We hypothesized that pyridinoline (Pyr), a collagen crosslink containing the 3-HP moiety, could have agonist activity with RAGE. To test this hypothesis, we purified Pyr from bovine achilles tendons and examined its cytotoxicity to rat neuronal PC12 cells. Pyr elicited toxicity to PC12 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and this effect was attenuated in the presence of either the anti-RAGE antibody or the soluble form of RAGE. Moreover, surface plasmon resonance-based analysis showed specific binding of Pyr to RAGE. These data indicate that Pyr is an intrinsic ligand for RAGE.
