Background

Mammalian M6A, a member of the proteolipid protein (PLP/DM20) family expressed in neurons, was first isolated by expression cloning with a monoclonal antibody. Overexpression of M6A was shown to induce filopodium formation in neuronal cells; however, the underlying mechanism of is largely unknown. Possibly due to gene duplication, there are two M6A paralogs, M6Aa and M6Ab, in the zebrafish genome. In the present study, we used the zebrafish as a model system to investigate the role of zebrafish M6Ab in filopodium formation in PC12 cells and neurite outgrowth in zebrafish embryos.

Methodology/Principal Findings

We demonstrated that zebrafish M6Ab promoted extensive filopodium formation in NGF-treated PC12 cells, which is similar to the function of mammalian M6A. Phosphorylation at serine 263 of zebrafish M6Ab contributed to this induction. Transfection of the S263A mutant protein greatly reduced filopodium formation in PC12 cells. In zebrafish embryos, only S263D could induce neurite outgrowth.

Conclusions/Significance

Our results reveal that the phosphorylation status of zebrafish M6Ab at serine 263 is critical for its role in regulating filopodium formation and neurite outgrowth.  相似文献

The G protein-coupled vasopressin V2 receptor (V2 receptor) contains a pair of conserved cysteine residues (C112 and C192) which are thought to form a disulfide bond between the first and second extracellular loops. The conserved cysteine residues were found to be important for the correct formation of the ligand binding domain of some G protein-coupled receptors. Here we have assessed the properties of the V2 receptor after site-directed mutagenesis of its conserved cysteine residues in transiently transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells. Mutant receptors (C112S, C112A and C192S, C192A) were non-functional and located mostly in the cell's interior. The conserved cysteine residues of the V2 receptor are thus not only important for the structure of the ligand binding domain but also for efficient intracellular receptor transport. In addition to the functional significance of the conserved cysteine residues, we have also analyzed the defects of two mutant V2 receptors which cause X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) by the introduction of additional cysteine residues into the second extracellular loop (mutants G185C, R202C). These mutations are assumed to impair normal disulfide bond formation. Mutant receptor G185C and R202C were efficiently transported to the plasma membrane but were defective in ligand binding. Only in the case of the mutant receptor R202C, the more sensitive adenylyl cyclase activity assay revealed vasopressin-stimulated cAMP formation with a 35-fold increased EC(50) value and with a reduced EC(max), indicating that ligand binding is not completely abolished. Taking the unaffected intracellular transport of both NDI-causing mutant receptors into account, our results indicate that the observed impairment of ligand binding by the additional cysteine residues is not due to the prevention of disulfide bond formation between the conserved cysteine residues.  相似文献

SH2B1 is an adaptor protein known to enhance neurite outgrowth. In this study, we provide evidence suggesting that the SH2B1 level is increased during in vitro culture of hippocampal neurons, and the β isoform (SH2B1β) is the predominant isoform. The fact that formation of filopodia is prerequisite for neurite initiation suggests that SH2B1 may regulate filopodium formation and thus neurite initiation. To investigate whether SH2B1 may regulate filopodium formation, the effect of SH2B1 and a membrane and actin regulator, IRSp53 (insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate p53), is investigated. Overexpressing both SH2B1β and IRSp53 significantly enhances filopodium formation, neurite outgrowth, and branching. Both in vivo and in vitro data show that SH2B1 interacts with IRSp53 in hippocampal neurons. This interaction depends on the N-terminal proline-rich domains of SH2B1. In addition, SH2B1 and IRSp53 co-localize at the plasma membrane, and their levels increase in the Triton X-100-insoluble fraction of developing neurons. These findings suggest that SH2B1-IRSp53 complexes promote the formation of filopodia, neurite initiation, and neuronal branching.  相似文献

Low-molecular-weight GTP-binding proteins of the Rho family control the organization of the actin cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. Dramatic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is caused by the C3 exoenzyme derived from Clostridium botulinum (C3), based on ADP-ribosylation of RhoA/B/C. In addition, wild-type as well as ADP-ribosyltransferase-deficient C3-E174Q induce axonal outgrowth of primary murine hippocampal neurons and prevent growth cone collapse, indicating a non-enzymatic mode of action. In this study, we compared the effects of C3-E174Q and wild-type C3 in the murine hippocampal cell line HT22. Treatment of HT22 cells with C3 resulted in Rho ADP-ribosylation and cell rounding. The ADP-ribosyltransferase-deficient mutant C3-E174Q did not induce either Rho ADP-ribosylation or morphological changes. C3 as well as C3-E174Q treatment resulted in growth arrest, reduced expression of cyclin?D levels, and increased expression of RhoB, a negative regulator of cell-cycle progression. Serum starvation induced apoptosis in HT22 cells, as determined on the basis of increased expression of caspase-9 and Bax. C3 but not C3-E174Q protected serum-starved HT22 cells from apoptosis. This is the first study separating ADP-ribosyltransferase-dependent from ADP-ribosyltransferase-independent effects of C3. While morphological changes and anti-apoptotic activity strictly depend on ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, the anti-proliferative effects are independent of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.  相似文献

Neurabin I, a neuronal actin-binding protein, binds protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and p70 ribosomal S6 protein kinase (p70S6K), both proteins implicated in cytoskeletal dynamics. We expressed wild-type and mutant neurabins fused to green fluorescent protein in Cos7, HEK293, and hippocampal neurons. Biochemical and cellular studies showed that an N-terminal F-actin-binding domain dictated neurabin I localization at actin cytoskeleton and promoted disassembly of stress fibers. Deletion of the C-terminal coiled-coil and sterile alpha motif domains abolished neurabin I dimerization and induced filopodium extension. Immune complex assays showed that neurabin I recruited an active PP1 via a PP1-docking sequence,(457)KIKF(460). Mutation of the PP1-binding motif or PP1 inhibition by okadaic acid and calyculin A abolished filopodia and restored stress fibers in cells expressing neurabin I. In vitro and in vivo studies suggested that the actin-binding domain attenuated protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of neurabin I. Modification of a major PKA site, serine-461, impaired PP1 binding. Finally, p70S6K was excluded from neurabin I/PP1 complexes and required the displacement of PP1 for recruitment to neurabin I. These studies provided new insights into the assembly and regulation of a neurabin I/PP1 complex that controls actin rearrangement to promote spine development in mammalian neurons.  相似文献

The five cysteines, at positions 82, 191, 192, 270, and 401, of Escherichia coli aspartate aminotransferase (AATase) were, individually and in some combinations, converted to alanine by site-directed mutagenesis (C82A, C191A, C192A, C270A, C401A). Cys-191, which is conserved in all AATase isozymes, was mutated to serine as well (C191S). A quintuple mutant, with all cysteines converted to alanines (Quint), was also constructed. The effects of these single and multiple mutations were examined by steady-state kinetics and urea denaturation. The thermal stabilities of Quint and of the wild-type enzyme (WT) were determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The mutants had kcat values up to 50% greater than that of WT and KMAsp and KM alpha-KG values up to 1.5- and 3.3-fold higher than that of WT. The mutants C82A and C191A exhibit nearly the same CM in urea denaturation experiments as WT, while the other single mutants and Quint are less stable, with CM differences of up to 0.7 M urea. Quint is also less thermostable than WT, with a delta TM of 3.3-4.4 degrees C. Thus the five cysteine replacements yield small, but significant, changes in catalytic and denaturation parameters, but none of the cysteines was found to be essential. The changes manifested in the mutation of the conserved Cys-191 to alanine are no greater than those observed with the four nonconserved cysteines. We consider the evolutionary implications of these findings.  相似文献

Neuronal differentiation and axonal growth are controlled by a variety of factors including neurotrophic factors, extracellular matrix components, and cell adhesion molecules. Here we describe a novel and very efficient neuritogenic factor, the metastasis-related Mts1 protein, belonging to the S100 protein family. The oligomeric but not the dimeric form of Mts1 strongly induces differentiation of cultured hippocampal neurons. A mutant with a single Y75F amino acid substitution, which stabilizes the dimeric form of Mts1, is unable to promote neurite extension. Disulfide bonds do not play an essential role in the Mts1 neuritogenic activity. Mts1-stimulated neurite outgrowth involves activation of phospholipase C and protein kinase C, depends on the intracellular level of Ca(2+), and requires activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) 1 and 2.  相似文献

BackgroundFilopodia are actin-rich membrane protrusions that play instrumental roles in development, cell migration, pathogen detection, and wound healing. During neurogenesis, filopodium formation precedes the formation of dendrites and spines. The insulin receptor substrate protein of 53 kDa (IRSp53) has been implicated in regulating the formation of filopodia. Our previous results suggest that a signaling adaptor protein SH2B1β is required for neurite outgrowth of hippocampal neurons and neurite initiation of PC12 cells. Thus, we hypothesize that IRSp53 and SH2B1β may act together to regulate filopodium formation.MethodsTo determine the contribution of IRSp53 and SH2B1β in the formation of filopodia, we transiently transfect IRSp53 and/or SH2B1β to 293T cells. Cell morphology and protein distribution are assessed via confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation. Total numbers of filopodia and filopodium numbers per perimeter are calculated to show the relative contribution of IRSp53 and SH2B1β.ResultsIn this study, we show that SH2B1β interacts with IRSp53 and increases the number of IRSp53-induced filopodia. One mechanism for this enhancement is that IRSp53 recruits SH2B1β to the plasma membrane to actively promote membrane protrusion. The increased numbers of filopodia likely result from SH2B1-mediated cytoplasmic extension and thus increased cell perimeter as well as IRSp53-mediated filopodium formation.ConclusionsTaken together, this study provides a novel finding that SH2B1β interacts with IRSp53-containing complexes to increase the number of filopodia.General significanceA better understanding of how SH2B1β and IRSp53 promote filopodium formation may have clinical implication in neurogenesis and regeneration.  相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-responsive stem cells from both developing and adult central nervous system (CNS) can be expanded and induced to differentiate into neurons and glia in vitro. Because of their self-renewal and multipotent properties, these cells can potentially provide an unlimited tissue source for neural grafting in neurodegenerative disorders. However, the capability of neurons derived from these stem cells to project axons to distant targets following grafting, thereby enabling the restoration of damaged CNS circuitry, remains unknown. We hypothesize that grafted EGF-responsive stem cells and their progeny are not competent to project axons into distant target sites unless exposed to specific neurotrophic factors. We compared neurite outgrowth between gestation day 14 primary mouse hippocampal cells and EGF-generated secondary neurospheres of postnatal mouse hippocampal stem cells, following grafting onto the CA3 region of organotypic hippocampal slice cultures prepared from postnatal rats. Neurite outgrowth from grafted cells was visualized using immunohistochemical staining for the mouse specific antigen M6. Fetal hippocampal cells showed extensive and specific neurite outgrowth into many regions of the slice, including the CA1 region and distant subiculum, by 7 days after grafting. In contrast, neurite outgrowth from neurosphere cells was nonspecific and restricted to the immediate surrounding region after either 7 or even 15 days following grafting. Application of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (5 ng in 0.5 microL) to slices on day 1 after grafting significantly enhanced neurite outgrowth from neurosphere cells, but overall neurite outgrowth from neurosphere cells remained decreased compared to that from fetal hippocampal cells. These results underscore that EGF-responsive stem cell-derived neurons possess limited intrinsic capability for long-distance neurite outgrowth compared to fetal neurons. However, neurite outgrowth from EGF-responsive stem cell-derived neurons can be enhanced by treating with specific neurotrophic factors such as BDNF.  相似文献

P(4)-ATPases are lipid flippases that transport phospholipids across cellular membranes, playing vital roles in cell function. In humans, the disruption of the P(4)-ATPase ATP8A2 gene causes a severe neurological phenotype. Here, we found that Atp8a2 mRNA was highly expressed in PC12 cells, hippocampal neurons and the brain. Overexpression of ATP8A2 increased the length of neurite outgrowth in NGF-induced PC12 cells and in primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons. Inducing the loss of function of CDC50A in hippocampal neurons via RNA interference reduced neurite outgrowth, and the co-overexpression of CDC50A and ATP8A2 in PC12 cells enhanced NGF-induced neurite outgrowth. These results indicate that ATP8A2, acting in synergy with CDC50A, performs an important role in neurite outgrowth in neurons.  相似文献

The acquisition of neuronal type-specific morphogenesis is a central feature of neuronal differentiation and has important consequences for region-specific nervous system functions. Here, we report that the cell type-specific cholesterol profile determines the differential modulation of axon and dendrite outgrowths in hippocampal and cerebral cortical neurons in culture. The extent of axon and dendrite outgrowths is greater and the polarity formation occurs earlier in cortical neurons than in hippocampal neurons. The cholesterol concentrations in total homogenate and the lipid rafts from hippocampal neurons are significantly higher than those from cortical neurons. Cholesterol depletion by beta-cyclodextrin markedly enhanced the neurite outgrowth and accelerated the establishment of neuronal polarity in hippocampal neurons, which were similarly observed in nontreated cortical neurons, whereas cholesterol loading had no effects. In contrast, both depletion and loading of cholesterol decreased the neurite outgrowths in cortical neurons. The stimulation of neurite outgrowth and polarity formation induced by cholesterol depletion was accompanied by an enhanced localization of Fyn, a Src kinase, in the lipid rafts of hippocampal neurons. A concomitant treatment with beta-cyclodextrin and a Src family kinase inhibitor, PP2, specifically blocked axon outgrowth but not dendrite outgrowth (both of which were enhanced by beta-cyclodextrin) in hippocampal neurons, suggesting that axon outgrowth modulated by cholesterol is induced in a Fyn-dependent manner. These results suggest that cellular cholesterol modulates axon and dendrite outgrowths and neuronal polarization under culture conditions and also that the difference in cholesterol profile between hippocampal and cortical neurons underlies the difference in neurite outgrowth between these two types of neurons.  相似文献

The high affinity interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor is a hexameric complex consisting of two molecules each of IL-6, IL-6 receptor (IL-6R), and the high affinity converter and signaling molecule, gp130. The extracellular "soluble" part of the IL-6R (sIL-6R) consists of three domains: an amino-terminal Ig-like domain and two fibronectin-type III (FN III) domains. The two FN III domains comprise the cytokine-binding domain defined by a set of 4 conserved cysteine residues and a WSXWS sequence motif. Here, we have determined the disulfide structure of the human sIL-6R by peptide mapping in the absence and presence of reducing agent. Mass spectrometric analysis of these peptides revealed four disulfide bonds and two free cysteines. The disulfides Cys102-Cys113 and Cys146-Cys157 are consistent with known cytokine-binding domain motifs, and Cys28-Cys77 with known Ig superfamily domains. An unusual cysteine connectivity between Cys6-Cys174, which links the Ig-like and NH2-terminal FN III domains causing them to fold back onto each other, has not previously been observed among cytokine receptors. The two free cysteines (Cys192 and Cys258) were detected as cysteinyl-cysteines, although a small proportion of Cys258 was reactive with the alkylating agent 4-vinylpyridine. Of the four potential N-glycosylation sites, carbohydrate moieties were identified on Asn36, Asn74, and Asn202, but not on Asn226.  相似文献

Many cases of early-onset inherited Alzheimer's disease (AD) are caused by mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS1) gene. Overexpression of PS1 mutations in cultured PC12 cells increases their vulnerability to apoptosis-induced trophic factor withdrawal and oxidative insults. We now report that primary hippocampal neurons from PS1 mutant knock-in mice, which express the human PS1M146V mutation at normal levels, exhibit increased vulnerability to amyloid beta-peptide toxicity. The endangering action of mutant PS1 was associated with increased superoxide production, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and caspase activation. The peroxynitrite-scavenging antioxidant uric acid and the caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethyl ketone protected hippocampal neurons expressing mutant PS1 against cell death induced by amyloid beta-peptide. Increased oxidative stress may contribute to the pathogenic action of PS1 mutations, and antioxidants may counteract the adverse property of such AD-linked mutations.  相似文献

Biotin synthase contains an essential [4Fe-4S]+ cluster that is thought to provide an electron for the cleavage of S-adenosylmethionine, a cofactor required for biotin formation. The conserved cysteine residues Cys53, Cys57 and Cys60 have been proposed as ligands to the [4Fe-4S] cluster. These residues belong to a C-X3-C-X2-C motif which is also found in pyruvate formate lyase-activating enzyme, lysine 2,3-aminomutase and the anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase-activating component. To investigate the role of the cysteine residues, Cys-->Ala mutants of the eight cysteine residues of Escherichia coli biotin synthase were prepared and assayed for activity. Our results show that six cysteines are important for biotin formation. Only two mutant proteins, C276A and C288A, closely resembled the wild-type protein, indicating that the corresponding cysteines are not involved in iron chelation and biotin formation. The six other mutant proteins, C53A, C57A, C60A, C97A, C128A and C188A, were inactive but capable of assembling a [4Fe-4S] cluster, as shown by M?ssbauer spectroscopy. The C53A, C57A and C60A mutant proteins are unique in that their cluster could not undergo reduction to the [4Fe-4S]+ state, as shown by EPR and M?ssbauer spectroscopy. On this basis and by analogy with pyruvate formate lyase-activating enzyme and the anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase-activating component, it is suggested that the corresponding cysteines coordinate the cluster even though one cannot fully exclude the possibility that other cysteines play that role as well. Therefore it appears that for activity biotin synthase absolutely requires cysteines that are not involved in iron chelation.  相似文献

3'-5'-Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is an important second messenger which regulates neurite outgrowth. We demonstrate here that type VI adenylyl cyclase (AC6), an enzyme which catalyzes cAMP synthesis, regulates neurite outgrowth by direct interaction with a binding protein (Snapin) of Snap25 at the N terminus of AC6 (AC6-N). We first showed that AC6 expression increased during postnatal brain development. In primary hippocampal neurons and Neuro2A cells, elevated AC6 expression suppressed neurite outgrowth, whereas the downregulation or genetic removal of AC6 promoted neurite extension. An AC6 variant (AC6-N5) that contains the N terminus of AC5 had no effect, indicating the importance of AC6-N. The downregulation of endogenous Snapin or the overexpression of a Snapin mutant (Snap(Δ33-51)) that does not bind to AC6, or another Snapin mutant (Snapin(S50A)) that does not interact with Snap25, reversed the inhibitory effect of AC6. Pulldown assays and immunoprecipitation-AC assays revealed that the complex formation of AC6, Snapin, and Snap25 is dependent on AC6-N and the phosphorylation of Snapin. The overexpression of Snap25 completely reversed the action of AC6. Collectively, in addition to cAMP production, AC6 plays a complex role in modulating neurite outgrowth by redistributing localization of the SNARE apparatus via its interaction with Snapin.  相似文献

A coculture system consisting of input axons from entorhinal cortex explants and target hippocampal pyramidal neurons was used to demonstrate that glutamate, released spontaneously from afferent axons, can influence both dendritic geometry of target neurons and formation of presumptive synaptic sites. Dendritic outgrowth was reduced in hippocampal neurons growing on entorhinal axons when compared with neurons growing off the axons. Presumptive presynaptic sites were observed in association with hippocampal neuron dendrites and somas. HPLC analysis showed that glutamate was released from the explants in an activity- and Ca2(+)-dependent manner. The general glutamate receptor antagonist D-glutamylglycine significantly increased dendritic outgrowth in pyramidal neurons associated with entorhinal axons and reduced presumptive presynaptic sites. Tetrodotoxin and reduction of extracellular Ca2+ also promoted dendritic outgrowth and reduced the formation of presumptive synaptic sites. The results suggest that the neurotransmitter glutamate may play important roles in the development of hippocampal circuitry.  相似文献

When co-expressed with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate biosensor eGFP-PH(PLC delta), G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) can suppress M1 muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptor-mediated phospholipase C signaling in hippocampal neurons through a phosphorylation-independent mechanism, most likely involving the direct binding of the RGS homology domain of GRK2 to G alpha(q/11). To define the importance of this mechanism in comparison with classical, phosphorylation-dependent receptor regulation by GRKs, we have examined M1 mACh receptor signaling in hippocampal neurons following depletion of GRK2 and also in the presence of non-G alpha(q/11)-binding GRK2 mutants. Depletion of neuronal GRK2 using an antisense strategy almost completely inhibited M1 mACh receptor desensitization without enhancing acute agonist-stimulated phospholipase C activity. By stimulating neurons with a submaximal agonist concentration before (R1) and after (R2) a period of exposure to a maximal agonist concentration, an index (R2/R1) of agonist-induced desensitization of signaling could be obtained. Co-transfection of neurons with either a non-G alpha(q/11)-binding (D110A) GRK2 mutant or the catalytically inactive (D110A,K220R)GRK2 did not suppress acute M1 mACh receptor-stimulated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production. However, using the desensitization (R2/R1) protocol, it could be shown that expression of (D110A)GRK2 enhanced, whereas (D110A,K220R)GRK2 inhibited, agonist-induced M1 mACh receptor desensitization. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, the loss of G alpha(q/11) binding did not affect the ability of the (D110A)GRK2 mutant to phosphorylate M1 mACh receptors, whereas expression of (D110A,K220R)GRK2 had no effect on receptor phosphorylation. These data indicate that in hippocampal neurons endogenous GRK2 is a key regulator of M1 mACh receptor signaling and that the regulatory process involves both phosphorylation-dependent and -independent mechanisms.  相似文献

Monolayers of control 3T3 fibroblasts and 3T3 cells expressing transfected NCAM or N-cadherin have been used as a culture substratum for rat hippocampal neurons. Both NCAM and N-cadherin are expressed in the hippocampus through embryonic day 17 (E17) to postnatal day 4 (PND4); however, whereas E17 neurons responded to transfected NCAM by extending considerably longer neurites, PND4 neurons responded very poorly. The converse was true for responsiveness to N-cadherin. These data demonstrate a switch in neuronal responsiveness to NCAM and N-cadherin in the developing hippocampus. NCAM-dependent neurite outgrowth from E17 neurons was largely dependent on the presence of alpha 2-8-linked polysialic acid (PSA) on neuronal NCAM. NCAM-dependent neurite outgrowth could be fully inhibited by pertussis toxin or a combination of L- and N-type calcium channel antagonists thus providing direct evidence concerning the nature of the second messenger pathway activated in primary neurons by cell adhesion molecules (CAMs).  相似文献
