PSD-95 is a major scaffolding protein of the postsynaptic density, tethering NMDA- and AMPA-type glutamate receptors to signaling proteins and the neuronal cytoskeleton. Here we show that PSD-95 is regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. PSD-95 interacts with and is ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase Mdm2. In response to NMDA receptor activation, PSD-95 is ubiquitinated and rapidly removed from synaptic sites by proteasome-dependent degradation. Mutations that block PSD-95 ubiquitination prevent NMDA-induced AMPA receptor endocytosis. Likewise, proteasome inhibitors prevent NMDA-induced AMPA receptor internalization and synaptically induced long-term depression. This is consistent with the notion that PSD-95 levels are an important determinant of AMPA receptor number at the synapse. These data suggest that ubiquitination of PSD-95 through an Mdm2-mediated pathway is critical in regulating AMPA receptor surface expression during synaptic plasticity. 相似文献

Ginsenoside Rg1 exerts estrogen-like activities via ligand-independent activation of ERalpha pathway
Lau WS Chan RY Guo DA Wong MS 《The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology》2008,108(1-2):64-71
Ginsenoside Rg1, an active ingredient commonly found in ginseng root, was previously demonstrated to be a phytoestrogen that exerted estrogen-like activity without direct interaction with estrogen receptors (ERs) in human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. The present study was designed to determine the molecular mechanism by which Rg1 exerted estrogenic effects. Co-incubation of MCF-7 cells with 1 microM of ER antagonist ICI182780 abolished the inductive effects of Rg1 on pS2 expression as well as ERE-luciferase activity, suggesting that the estrogenic effects of Rg1 were mediated through the endogenous ERs. To evaluate the relative involvement of ERalpha and ERbeta in mediating the actions of Rg1, ER-negative human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells were co-transfected with the ERE-luciferase reporter construct and either ERalpha or ERbeta construct. The results showed that Rg1 could activate ERE-luciferase activity via the ERalpha-mediated pathway in a dose-dependent manner (10(-14) to 10(-6)M); whereas, the activation of ERbeta-mediated ERE-luciferase activity by Rg1 only occur at high concentration (10(-6)M). Furthermore, the results showed that 1pM Rg1 could rapidly induce phosphorylation of the AF-1 domain of ERalpha at serine 118 residue within the first 5 min of incubation, suggesting that Rg1 activates ERalpha in a ligand-independent manner. Taken together, our results indicate that Rg1 preferentially activates ERalpha via phosphorylation of AF-1 domain in the absence of receptor binding. This study is the first to provide evidence that ginsenoside Rg1 exerts estrogen-like actions via ligand-independent activation of ERalpha pathway. 相似文献

Colocalization and ligand-dependent discrete distribution of the estrogen receptor (ER)alpha and ERbeta 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To investigate the relationships between the loci expressing functions of estrogen receptor (ER)alpha and that of ERbeta, we analyzed the subnuclear distribution of ERalpha and ERbeta in response to ligand in single living cells using fusion proteins labeled with different spectral variants of green fluorescent protein. Upon activation with ligand treatment, fluorescent protein-tagged (FP)-ERbeta redistributed from a diffuse to discrete pattern within the nucleus, showing a similar time course as FP-ERalpha, and colocalized with FP-ERalpha in the same discrete cluster. Analysis using deletion mutants of ERalpha suggested that the ligand-dependent redistribution of ERalpha might occur through a large part of the receptor including at least the latter part of activation function (AF)-1, the DNA binding domain, nuclear matrix binding domain, and AF-2/ligand binding domain. In addition, a single AF-1 region within ERalpha homodimer, or a single DNA binding domain as well as AF-1 region within the ERalpha/ERbeta heterodimer, could be sufficient for the cluster formation. More than half of the discrete clusters of FP-ERalpha and FP-ERbeta were colocalized with hyperacetylated histone H4 and a component of the chromatin remodeling complex, Brg-1, indicating that ERs clusters might be involved in structural changes of chromatin. 相似文献

Estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) degradation is regulated by ubiquitination, but the signaling pathways that modulate ER alpha turnover are unknown. We found that extracellular signal-regulated kinase 7 (ERK7) preferentially enhances the destruction of ER alpha but not the related androgen receptor. Loss of ERK7 was correlated with breast cancer progression, and all ER alpha-positive breast tumors had decreased ERK7 expression compared to that found in normal breast tissue. In human breast cells, a dominant-negative ERK7 mutant decreased the rate of endogenous ER alpha degradation >4-fold in the presence of hormone and potentiated estrogen responsiveness. ERK7 targets the ER alpha ligand-binding domain for destruction by enhancing its ubiquitination. Thus, ERK7 is a novel regulator of estrogen responsiveness through its control of ER alpha turnover. 相似文献

Estrogen promotes the proliferation of human breast epithelial cells by interacting with the estrogen receptor (ER). Physiological responses of cells to estrogen are regulated in part by degradation of the ER. Previous studies revealed that calmodulin binds directly to the ER, thereby enhancing its stability. Consistent with these findings, cell-permeable calmodulin antagonists dramatically reduced the number of ER in MCF-7 human breast epithelial cells. Here we investigated the molecular mechanism by which calmodulin attenuates ER degradation. MG132 and lactacystin, inhibitors of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, prevented the calmodulin antagonist CGS9343B from reducing the amount of ER in MCF-7 cells. In contrast, protease inhibitors afforded no protection. Moreover, CGS9343B enhanced ER ubiquitination. A point mutant ER construct that is unable to bind calmodulin, termed ERDeltaCaM, is ubiquitinated to a greater extent than wild type ER. The ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase E6-associated protein (E6AP) associated with and promoted the degradation of ER. The possible convergence of calmodulin and E6AP on ER degradation was examined. ERDeltaCaM bound E6AP with higher affinity than that of wild type ER. Moreover, calmodulin attenuated the in vitro interaction between ER and E6AP in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Collectively, our data reveal that E6AP is a component of ER degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and that Ca(2+)/calmodulin modulates this degradation mechanism. These results have potential implications for the development of selectively targeted therapeutic agents for breast cancer. 相似文献
