Molecular Tuning of an EF-Hand-like Calcium Binding Loop : Contributions of the Coordinating Side Chain at Loop Position 3

Calcium binding and signaling orchestrate a wide variety of essential cellular functions, many of which employ the EF-hand Ca²⁺ binding motif. The ion binding parameters of this motif are controlled, in part, by the structure of its Ca²⁺ binding loop, termed the EF-loop. The EF-loops of different proteins are carefully specialized, or fine-tuned, to yield optimized Ca²⁺ binding parameters for their unique cellular roles. The present study uses a structurally homologous Ca²⁺ binding loop, that of the Escherichia coli galactose binding protein, as a model for the EF-loop in studies examining the contribution of the third loop position to intramolecular tuning. 10 different side chains are compared at the third position of the model EF-loop with respect to their effects on protein stability, sugar binding, and metal binding equilibria and kinetics. Substitution of an acidic Asp side chain for the native Asn is found to generate a 6,000-fold increase in the ion selectivity for trivalent over divalent cations, providing strong support for the electrostatic repulsion model of divalent cation charge selectivity. Replacement of Asn by neutral side chains differing in size and shape each alter the ionic size selectivity in a similar manner, supporting a model in which large-ion size selectivity is controlled by complex interactions between multiple side chains rather than by the dimensions of a single coordinating side chain. Finally, the pattern of perturbations generated by side chain substitutions helps to explain the prevalence of Asn and Asp at the third position of natural EF-loops and provides further evidence supporting the unique kinetic tuning role of the gateway side chain at the ninth EF-loop position.     

周期性应变诱导人肺上皮细胞整联蛋白再分布的研究

为了探讨机械拉伸应变对人肺上皮细胞表面整联蛋白α₃ 、α₅和β₁分布的调控作用,建立了体外周期性拉伸应变装置,并应用胞外基质蛋白——纤连蛋白（Fn）、胶原蛋白Ⅳ（Col Ⅳ）裱衬基底膜,激光共聚焦显微镜分析了在应变为15％,频率为40次／min的拉伸刺激下,正常人肺上皮细胞H727表面α₃、α₅和β₁整联蛋白的再分布.结果表明：在人肺上皮细胞H727中,α₃、α₅和β₁整联蛋白是对拉伸应变敏感的膜受体,周期性拉伸刺激可诱导其激活,使之发生分布的重组,并向基底层转移,形成局部粘附连接,增强了整联蛋白受体与其特异性配体的结合能力.结果提示：一个有效的局部粘附连接的形成是受体聚集和配体占据共同启动的一个协调反应,该反应可能参与了细胞响应机械应力的起始过程,可能进一步通过力-化学信号的耦合或张力整合的形式,最终对细胞的生物学行为产生影响.

PDZ结构域的结构特点及其识别特异性配体的机制

PDZ结构域作为介导蛋白质之间相互作用的重要结构域之一,参与到细胞内运输、离子通道、以及各种信号传导通路等多种生物学过程.PDZ结构域是由80~100个氨基酸组成的小的球状结构域,对某些多PDZ结构域蛋白来说,需要一前一后形成串联体才能正确折叠.另外,PDZ结构域相互之间也可以形成同源或异源二聚体.这些PDZ结构域的突出特点是能特异性地识别配体靶蛋白C末端短的氨基酸序列,但有些也能识别靶蛋白的内部β发夹结构.而一些支架蛋白的PDZ结构域与细胞膜上脂类的相互作用则增加了其与膜的亲和性.本文简要概括了PDZ结构域的结构特点及其对配体的各种特异性识别的机制,从而为研究各种PDZ蛋白的功能提供了结构基础.     

Expression and In Vitro Regulation of Integrins by Normal Human Urothelial Cells

Integrins are thought to be essential adhesion receptors for the maintenance of tissue hisr tioarchitecture. The purpose of this study was to determine integrin expression patterns in the human stratified transitional epithelium of the urinary tract (urothelium). In situ expression patterns were compared with in vitro expression, using a normal cell culture model system in which the effects of cell stratification can be studied independently of differentiation. By immunohistological criteria, the urothelia of bladder, ureter and renal pelvis expressed α2β1 and α3β1 integrins in all layers at intercellular junctions, and cytoplasmically in the lower strata. By contrast, α6β4 and occasionally αvβ4 were expressed only by basal cells and localised to the basal lamina. These expression patterns were unaltered in specimens where an inflammatory cell infiltrate was present. In long-term cultures of normal urothelial cells maintained in a low-Ca⁺⁺serum-free medium, the monolayer cultures expressed α2β1, α3β1 and α5β1 integrins at intercellular junctions and in cytoplasmic inclusions, whereas α6β4 was distributed in a random pattern over the substratum. Increasing exogenous Ca⁺⁺concentrations induced cell stratification and desmosome formation, but not cytodifferentiation. Under these conditions, α6β4 became cell-, rather than substratum-associated, localising particularly to filopodia and lamellipodia. Quantitation of integrin expression by flow cytometry confirmed increased surface expression of α6β4 in high Ca⁺⁺media, and also of α3 and α5, but not α2, subunits. These results suggest that α2β1 and α3β1 integrins, although differentially regulated, are mainly involved in homotypic cell-cell interactions and the maintenance of a stratified morphology, whereas α6β4 is the principal integrin involved in substratum adhesion.

Molecular Modeling of the NPY Binding Site on the Y1 Receptor

A three-dimensional model of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) - rat Y₁ (rY₁) receptor complex and of the NPY _13-36 - rY₁ receptor complex was constructed by molecular modeling based on the electron density projection map of rhodopsin and on site-directed mutagenesis studies of neuropeptide receptors. In order to further guide the modeling, the nucleotide sequences encoding Trp287, Cys295 and His297 in the third extracellular loop of the rY₁ receptor, were altered by site-directed mutagenesis experiments. Single-point mutated receptors were expressed in COS-7 cells, and tested for their ability to bind radio labelled NPY (³H-NPY). Mutations of Trp287 and His297 completely abolished binding of ³H-NPY. The Cys295Ser mutation only slightly decreased the binding of ³H-NPY, suggesting that the involvement of Cys295 in a disulphide bond is not essential for maintaining the correct three-dimensional structure of the binding site for NPY. Molecular dynamics simulations of NPY-rY₁ receptor interactions suggested that Asp199, Asp103 and Asp286 in the receptor interact, respectively, with Lys4, Arg33 and Arg35 of NPY. The simulations also suggested that His297 acts as a hydrogen acceptor from Arg35 in NPY, and that Tyr1 of NPY interacts with a binding pocket on the receptor formed by Asn115, Asp286, Trp287 and His297. Tyr36 in NPY interacted both with Thr41 and Tyr99 via hydrogen bonds, and also with Asn296, His297 and Phe301. The present study suggests that amino acid residues at the extracellular end of the transmembrane helices and in the extracellular loops are strongly involved in binding to NPY and NPY_13-36.Electronic Supplementary Material available.
