Inside cells, membrane proteins are localized at particular surface domains to perform their precise functions. Various kinds of PDZ domain proteins have been shown to play important roles in the intracellular trafficking and anchoring of membrane proteins. In this study, we show that delta2 glutamate receptor is interacting with S-SCAM/MAGI-2, a PDZ domain protein localized in the perinuclear region and postsynaptic sites of cerebellar Purkinje cells. The binding is regulated by PKC (protein kinase-C) mediated phosphorylation of the receptor with a unique repetitive structure in S-SCAM/MAGI-2. Co-expression of both proteins resulted in drastic changes of the receptor localization in COS7 cells. These results show a novel regulatory mechanism for the binding of PDZ domain proteins and suggest that the interaction between delta2 receptor and S-SCAM/MAGI-2 may be important for intracellular trafficking of the receptor. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor phosphatase PTEN is a key regulator of cell growth and apoptosis that interacts with PDZ domains from regulatory proteins, including MAGI-1/2/3, hDlg, and MAST205. Here we identified novel PTEN-binding PDZ domains within the MAST205-related proteins, syntrophin-associated serine/threonine kinase and MAST3, characterized the regions of PTEN involved in its interaction with distinctive PDZ domains, and analyzed the functional consequences on PTEN of PDZ domain binding. Using a panel of PTEN mutations, as well as PTEN chimeras containing distinct domains of the related protein TPTE, we found that the PTP and C2 domains of PTEN do not affect PDZ domain binding and that the C-terminal tail of PTEN (residues 350-403) provides selectivity to recognize specific PDZ domains from MAGI-2, hDlg, and MAST205. Binding of PTEN to the PDZ-2 domain from MAGI-2 increased PTEN protein stability. Furthermore, binding of PTEN to the PDZ domains from microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinases facilitated PTEN phosphorylation at its C terminus by these kinases. Our results suggest an important role for the C-terminal region of PTEN in the selective association with scaffolding and/or regulatory molecules and provide evidence that PDZ domain binding stabilizes PTEN and targets this tumor suppressor for phosphorylation by microtubule-associated serine/threonine kinases. 相似文献

Vinculin controls PTEN protein level by maintaining the interaction of the adherens junction protein beta-catenin with the scaffolding protein MAGI-2 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
PTEN is a frequently mutated tumor suppressor in malignancies. Interestingly, some malignancies exhibit undetectable PTEN protein without mutations or loss of PTEN mRNA. The cause(s) for this reduction in PTEN is unknown. Cancer cells frequently exhibit loss of cadherin, beta-catenin, alpha-catenin and/or vinculin, key elements of adherens junctions. Here we show that F9 vinculin-null (vin(-/-)) cells lack PTEN protein despite normal PTEN mRNA levels. Their PTEN protein expression was restored by transfection with vinculin or by inhibition of PTEN degradation. F9 vin(-/-) cells express PTEN protein upon transfection with a vinculin fragment (amino acids 243-1066) that is capable of interacting with alpha-catenin but unable to target into focal adhesions. On the other hand, disruption of adherens junctions with an E-cadherin blocking antibody reduced PTEN protein to undetectable levels in wild-type F9 cells. PTEN protein levels were restored in F9 vin(-/-) cells upon transfection with an E-cadherin-alpha-catenin fusion protein, which targets into adherens junctions and interacts with beta-catenin in F9 vin(-/-) cells. beta-Catenin is known to interact with MAGI-2. MAGI-2 interaction with PTEN in the cell membrane is known to prevent PTEN protein degradation. Thus, MAGI-2 overexpression in F9 vin(-/-) cells restored PTEN protein levels. Moreover, expression of vinculin mutants that reinstated the disrupted interactions of beta-catenin with MAGI-2 in F9 vin(-/-) cells also restored PTEN protein levels. These studies indicate that PTEN protein levels are dependent on the maintenance of beta-catenin-MAGI-2 interaction, in which vinculin plays a critical role. 相似文献

MAGI-1, a member of the MAGUK family of proteins, is shown to be rapidly cleaved during Fas-induced apoptosis in mouse 3T3
A31 cells, and in UV irradiation- and staurosporine-induced apoptosis in HaCaT cells. This generates a 97 kDa N-terminal fragment
that dissociates from the cell membrane; a process that is largely prevented in the presence of the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk.
In addition, we show that in vitro translated radiolabelled MAGI-1 is efficiently cleaved into 97 kDa and 68 kDa fragments by caspases-3 and -7 at physiological
concentrations and mutating the MAGI-1 Asp761 to Ala completely abolished the caspase-induced cleavage. Moreover, in HaCaT cells overexpressing the MAGI-1 Asp761Ala mutant the disruption of cell-cell contacts was delayed during apoptosis, whereas other caspase-dependent processes such
as nuclear condensation were not affected, suggesting that cell detachment is parallel to them. Thus, MAGI-1 cleavage appears
to be an important step in the disassembly of cell-cell contacts during apoptosis. 相似文献

The beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta1AR) is known to be localized to synapses and to modulate synaptic plasticity in many brain regions, but the molecular mechanisms determining beta1AR subcellular localization are not fully understood. Using overlay and pull-down techniques, we found that the beta1AR carboxyl terminus associates with MAGI-2 (membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted-2), a protein also known as S-SCAM (synaptic scaffolding molecule). MAGI-2 is a multidomain scaffolding protein that contains nine potential protein-protein interaction modules, including 6 PDZ domains, 2 WW domains, and a guanylate kinase-like domain. The beta1AR carboxyl terminus binds with high affinity to the first PDZ domain of MAGI-2, with the last few amino acids of the beta1AR carboxyl terminus being the key determinants of the interaction. In cells, the association of full-length beta1AR with MAGI-2 occurs constitutively and is enhanced by agonist stimulation of the receptor, as assessed by both co-immunoprecipitation experiments and immunofluorescence co-localization studies. Agonist-induced internalization of the beta1AR is markedly increased by co-expression with MAGI-2. Strikingly, this result is the opposite of the effect of co-expression with PSD-95, a previously reported binding partner of the beta1AR. Further cellular experiments revealed that MAGI-2 has no effect on beta1AR oligomerization but does promote association of beta1AR with the cytoplasmic signaling protein beta-catenin, a known MAGI-2 binding partner. These data reveal that MAGI-2 is a specific beta1AR binding partner that modulates beta1AR function and facilitates the physical association of the beta1AR with intracellular proteins involved in signal transduction and synaptic regulation. 相似文献

MAGI-1 is a membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) protein present at adherent and tight junctions, where it acts as a structural and signaling scaffold. During apoptosis, MAGI-1 is cleaved by caspases at Asp761 into N- and C-terminal cleavage products, allowing further dismantling of the cell junctions, one of the key features of apoptosis. Here, we investigated the cellular distribution and possible proapototic role of MAGI-1 caspase cleavage products. Full-length MAGI-1 exhibited submembrane localization, while the N-terminal caspase cleavage product of MAGI-1 is translocated to the cytosol and the C-terminal caspase cleavage product accumulates in the nucleus. When overexpressed in MDCK cells, both N- and C-terminal MAGI-1 caspase cleavage products exhibited minor proapoptotic activity, although their role in apoptosis is probably more passive. 相似文献

PTEN is a tumor suppressor protein that functions, in large part, by dephosphorylating the lipid second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and by doing so antagonizing the action of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. PTEN structural domains include an N-terminal phosphatase domain, a lipid-binding C2 domain, and a 50-amino acid C-terminal tail that contains a PDZ binding sequence. We showed previously that phosphorylation of the PTEN tail negatively regulates PTEN activity. We now show that phosphorylated PTEN exists in a monomeric "closed" conformation and has low affinity for PDZ domain-containing proteins. Conversely, when unphosphorylated, PTEN is in an "open" conformation, is recruited into a high molecular weight complex (PTEN-associated complex), and strongly interacts with PDZ-containing proteins such as MAGI-2. As a consequence, when compared with wild-type PTEN, the phosphorylation-deficient mutant form of PTEN strongly cooperates with MAGI-2 to block Akt activation. These results indicate that phosphorylation of the PTEN tail causes a conformational change that results in the masking of the PDZ binding domain. Consequently, the ability of PTEN to bind to PDZ domain-containing proteins is reduced dramatically. These data suggest that phosphorylation of the PTEN tail suppresses the activity of PTEN by controlling the recruitment of PTEN into the PTEN-associated complex. 相似文献

SynArfGEF, also known as BRAG3 or IQSEC3, is a member of the brefeldin A-resistant Arf-GEF/IQSEC family and was originally identified by screening for mRNA species associated with the post-synaptic density fraction. In this study, we demonstrate that synArfGEF activates Arf6, using Arf pull down and transferrin incorporation assays. Immunohistochemical analysis reveals that synArfGEF is present in somata and dendrites as puncta in close association with inhibitory synapses, whereas immunoelectron microscopic analysis reveals that synArfGEF localizes preferentially at post-synaptic specializations of symmetric synapses. Using yeast two-hybrid and pull down assays, we show that synArfGEF is able to bind utrophin/dystrophin and S-SCAM/MAGI-2 scaffolding proteins that localize at inhibitory synapses. Double immunostaining reveals that synArfGEF co-localizes with dystrophin and S-SCAM in cultured hippocampal neurons and cerebellar cortex, respectively. Both β-dystroglycan and S-SCAM were immunoprecipitated from brain lysates using anti-synArfGEF IgG. Taken together, these findings suggest that synArfGEF functions as a novel regulator of Arf6 at inhibitory synapses and associates with the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex and S-SCAM. 相似文献

We have previously reported that the amount of Apg-2, an Hsp110 family protein, decreases during apoptosis in Jurkat T cells. Since we hypothesized that Apg-2 would be cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis, a cleavage-site-directed antibody was raised against the carboxyl-terminus of the Apg-2 fragment that appears after the cleavage by caspase-3. Although this antibody could not detect the Apg-2 fragment in apoptotic cells, three additional fragments were unexpectedly detected. Based on the results of microsequencing, one of these fragments was identified as Ku80. Ku80 is a nuclear protein and a component of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). In this study, we observed that Ku80 is cleaved at Asp-730 residue during apoptosis, and this cleavage occurs in the nucleus in the early apoptotic phase. Furthermore, Ku80 is distributed in the cytoplasm of nuclear fragmented apoptotic cells, although the cleaved fragment contains the nuclear-localization signal (NLS). Our study clearly shows that Ku80 is cleaved in the nucleus, and distributes in the cytoplasm during apoptosis. 相似文献

Full-length cDNA of hamster bcl-2 (771 nt) was cloned by RT-PCR and inserted into pGEX-4T-1 to produce the recombinant hamster Bcl-2 protein. The purified recombinant Bcl-2 protein (26.4 kDa) was used as a substrate for the active human caspase-3 and caspase-9 in vitro. It is shown here that Bcl-2 is efficiently cleaved by caspase-3 to a 23 kDa fragment. Although not possessing a putative caspase-9 cleavage site in its sequence, hamster Bcl-2 was also cleaved by caspase-9 into exactly the same 23 kDa cleavage product, indicating that cleavage occurred at the same site. Caspase-3- and caspase-9-mediated cleavage of Bcl-2 was efficiently blocked by caspase-3 (zDEVD) and caspase-9 (zLEHD) inhibitor, respectively. We also show that caspase-9/-3-mediated cleavage of Bcl-2 occurs in vivo during apoptosis in CHO-HSV-TK cells after exposure to the antiviral drug ganciclovir. 相似文献

Membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted (MAGI)-1 plays a role as a scaffold at cell junctions in non-neuronal cells, while S-SCAM, its neuronal isoform, is involved in the organization of synapses. A search for MAGI-1-interacting proteins by yeast two-hybrid screening of a kidney cDNA library yielded dendrin. As dendrin was originally reported as a brain-specific postsynaptic protein, we tested the interaction between dendrin and S-SCAM and revealed that dendrin binds to the WW domains of S-SCAM. Dendrin is known to be dendritically translated but its function is largely unknown. To gain insights into the physiological meaning of the interaction, we performed a second yeast two-hybrid screening using dendrin as a bait. We identified CIN85, an endocytic scaffold protein, as a putative dendrin-interactor. Immunocytochemistry and subcellular fractionation analysis supported the synaptic localization of CIN85. The first SH3 domain and the C-terminal region of CIN85 bind to the proline-rich region and the N-terminal region of dendrin, respectively. In vitro experiments suggest that dendrin forms a ternary complex with CIN85 and S-SCAM and that this complex formation facilitates the recruitment of dendrin and S-SCAM to vesicle-like structures where CIN85 is accumulated. 相似文献

Aging is a progressive process related to the accumulation of oxidative damage and neuroinflammation. We tried to find the anti-amnesic effect of the Scutellaria baicalens Georgia (SBG) ethanol extract and its major ingredients. The antioxidative effect of SBG on the mice model with memory impairment induced by chronic injection of D-galactose and sodium nitrate was studied. The Y-maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory function of mice. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and the content of malondialdehyde in brain tissue were used for the antioxidation activities. Neuropathological alteration and expression of bcl-2 protein were investigated in the hippocampus by immunohistochemical staining. ROS, neuroinflammation and apoptosis related molecules expression such as Cox-2, iNOS, procaspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, 8 and 9, bcl-2 and bax protein and the products of iNOS and Cox-2, NO, PGE2, were studied using LPS-activated Raw 264.7 cells and microglia BV2 cells. The cognition of mice was significantly improved by the treatment of baicalein and 50 and 100 mg/kg of SBG in Y-maze test. Both SBG groups showed strong antioxidation, antiinflammation effects with significantly decreased iNOS and Cox-2 expression, NO and PGE2 production, increased bcl-2 and decreased bax and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression in LPS induced Raw 264.7 and BV2 cells. We also found that apoptotic pathway was caused by the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway with the decreased cleaved caspase-9 and unchanged cleaved caspase-8 expression. These findings suggest that SBG, especially high dose, 100 mg/kg, improved the memory impairments significantly and showed antioxidation, antiinflammation and intrinsic caspase-mediated apoptosis effects. 相似文献

Caspase-3-dependent cleavage of Bcl-2 promotes release of cytochrome c. 总被引:41,自引:0,他引:41

Caspases are cysteine proteases that mediate apoptosis by proteolysis of specific substrates. Although many caspase substrates have been identified, for most substrates the physiologic caspase(s) required for cleavage is unknown. The Bcl-2 protein, which inhibits apoptosis, is cleaved at Asp-34 by caspases during apoptosis and by recombinant caspase-3 in vitro. In the present study, we show that endogenous caspase-3 is a physiologic caspase for Bcl-2. Apoptotic extracts from 293 cells cleave Bcl-2 but not Bax, even though Bax is cleaved to an 18-kDa fragment in SK-NSH cells treated with ionizing radiation. In contrast to Bcl-2, cleavage of Bax was only partially blocked by caspase inhibitors. Inhibitor profiles indicate that Bax may be cleaved by more than one type of noncaspase protease. Immunodepletion of caspase-3 from 293 extracts abolished cleavage of Bcl-2 and caspase-7, whereas immunodepletion of caspase-7 had no effect on Bcl-2 cleavage. Furthermore, MCF-7 cells, which lack caspase-3 expression, do not cleave Bcl-2 following staurosporine-induced cell death. However, transient transfection of caspase-3 into MCF-7 cells restores Bcl-2 cleavage after staurosporine treatment. These results demonstrate that in these models of apoptosis, specific cleavage of Bcl-2 requires activation of caspase-3. When the pro-apoptotic caspase cleavage fragment of Bcl-2 is transfected into baby hamster kidney cells, it localizes to mitochondria and causes the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Therefore, caspase-3-dependent cleavage of Bcl-2 appears to promote further caspase activation as part of a positive feedback loop for executing the cell. 相似文献

Proteases of the caspase family are implicated in mammalian apoptosis and constitute a protease cascade. We characterized caspase-4 (TX/ICH-2/ICErelII) and caspase-5 (ICErelIII/TY), which are most closely related to caspase-1 (ICE) among the caspase family. Although overexpression of caspase-4 and caspase-5 induced apoptosis, confirming previous observations, this apoptosis was not inhibited by a caspase-1-specific tetrapeptide inhibitor (Ac-YVAD-CHO), suggesting that caspase-4 and caspase-5 have different substrate specificities from caspase-1 and also that caspase-4- and caspase-5-induced apoptosis is not mediated by caspase-1. CrmA, a cowpox virus-derived caspase-1 inhibitor that prevents apoptosis induced by various stimuli, was cleaved by caspase-4 and caspase-5, and inhibited their proteolytic activity as assessed by cleavage of pro-caspase-3 (pro-CPP32/Yama/apopain). Thus, caspase-4 and caspase-5 are CrmA-inhibitable proteases like caspase-1 and might be involved in apoptosis. 相似文献

Magnolol, a substance purified from the bark of Magnolia officialis, inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. The aim of this study was to study the effects of magnolol on CGTH W-2 thyroid carcinoma cells. After 24 h treatment with 80 microM magnolol in serum-containing medium, about 50% of the cells exhibited apoptotic features and 20% necrotic features. Cytochrome-c staining was diffused in the cytoplasm of the apoptotic cells, but restricted to the mitochondria in control cells. Western blot analyses showed an increase in levels of activated caspases (caspase-3 and -7) and of cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) by magnolol. Concomitantly, immunostaining for apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) showed a time-dependent translocation from the mitochondria to the nucleus. Inhibition of either PARP or caspase activity blocked magnolol-induced apoptosis, supporting the involvement of the caspases and PARP. In addition, magnolol activated phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) and inactivated Akt by decreasing levels of phosphorylated PTEN and phosphorylated Akt. These data suggest that magnolol promoted apoptosis probably by alleviating the inhibitory effect of Akt on caspase 9. Furthermore, inhibition of PARP activity, but not of caspase activity, completely prevented magnolol-induced necrosis, suggesting the notion that it might be caused by depletion of intracellular ATP levels due to PARP activation. These results show that magnolol initiates apoptosis via the cytochrome-c/caspase 3/PARP/AIF and PTEN/Akt/caspase 9/PARP pathways and necrosis via PARP activation. 相似文献
