GOPC (Golgi-associated PDZ and coiled-coil motif-containing protein) represents a PDZ domain-containing protein associated with the Golgi apparatus, which plays important roles in vesicular trafficking in secretory and endocytic pathways. GOPC interacts with many other proteins, such as the Wnt receptors Frizzled 8 and neuroligin via its PDZ domain. Neuroligin is a neural cell-adhesion molecule of the post-synapse, which binds to the presynapse molecule neurexin to form a heterotypic intercellular junction. Here we report the solution structure of the GOPC PDZ domain by NMR. Our results show that it is a canonical class I PDZ domain, which contains two alpha-helices and six beta-strands. Using chemical shift perturbation experiments, we further studied the binding properties of the GOPC PDZ domain with the C-terminal motif of neuroligin. The observations showed that the ensemble of the interaction belongs to fast exchange with low affinity. The 3D model of the GOPC PDZ domain/neuroligin C-terminal peptide complex was constructed with the aid of the molecular dynamics simulation method. Our discoveries provide insight into the specific interaction of the GOPC PDZ domain with the C-terminal peptide of Nlg and also provide a general insight about the possible binding mode of the interaction of Nlg with other PDZ domain-containing proteins. 相似文献

Golgins are a family of coiled-coil proteins that are associated with the Golgi apparatus. They are necessary for tethering events in membrane fusion and may act as structural support for Golgi cisternae. Here we report on the identification of an Arabidopsis golgin which is a homologue of CASP, a known transmembrane mammalian and yeast golgin. Similar to its homologues, the plant CASP contains a long N-terminal coiled-coil region protruding into the cytosol and a C-terminal transmembrane domain with amino acid residues which are highly conserved across species. Through fluorescent protein tagging experiments, we show that plant CASP localizes at the plant Golgi apparatus and that the C-terminus of this protein is sufficient for its localization, as has been shown for its mammalian counterpart. In addition, we demonstrate that the plant CASP is able to localize at the mammalian Golgi apparatus. However, mutagenesis of a conserved tyrosine in the transmembrane domain revealed that it is necessary for ER export and Golgi localization of the Arabidopsis CASP in mammalian cells, but is not required for its correct localization in plant cells. These data suggest that mammalian and plant cells have different mechanisms for concentrating CASP in the Golgi apparatus.†These authors have contributed equally to the work 相似文献

Large coiled-coil proteins are being found in increasing numbers on the membranes of the Golgi apparatus and have been proposed to function in tethering of transport vesicles and in the organization of the Golgi stack. Members of one class of Golgi coiled-coil protein, comprising giantin and golgin-84, are anchored to the bilayer by a single C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD). In this article, we report the characterization of another mammalian coiled-coil protein, CASP, that was originally identified as an alternatively spliced product of the CUTL1 gene that encodes CCAAT-displacement protein (CDP), the human homologue of the Drosophila homeodomain protein Cut. We find that the Caenorhabditis elegans homologues of CDP and CASP are also generated from a single gene. CASP lacks the DNA binding motifs of CDP and was previously reported to be a nuclear protein. Herein, we show that it is in fact a Golgi protein with a C-terminal TMD and shares with giantin and golgin-84 a conserved histidine in its TMD. However, unlike these proteins, CASP has a homologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which we call COY1. Deletion of COY1 does not affect viability, but strikingly restores normal growth to cells lacking the Golgi soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor Gos1p. The conserved histidine is necessary for Coy1p's activity in cells lacking Gos1p, suggesting that the TMD of these transmembrane Golgi coiled-coil proteins is directly involved in their function. 相似文献

C-terminal lipid modifications are essential for the interaction of Ras-related proteins with membranes. While all Ras proteins are farnesylated and some palmitoylated, the majority of other Ras-related proteins are geranylgeranylated. One such protein, Rab6, is associated with the Golgi apparatus and has a C-terminal CXC motif that is geranylgeranylated on both cysteines. We show here that farnesylation alone cannot substitute for geranylgeranylation in targeting Rab6 to the Golgi apparatus and that whereas Ras proteins that are farnesylated and palmitoylated are targeted to the plasma membrane, mutant Rab proteins that are both farnesylated and palmitoylated associate with the Golgi apparatus. Using chimeric Ras-Rab proteins, we find that there are sequences in the N-terminal 71 amino acids of Rab6 which are required for Golgi complex localization and show that these sequences comprise or include the effector domain. The C-terminal hypervariable domain is not essential for the Golgi complex targeting of Rab6 but is required to prevent prenylated and palmitoylated Rab6 from localizing to the plasma membrane. Functional analysis of these mutant Rab6 proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows that wild-type Rab6 and C-terminal mutant Rab6 proteins which localize to the Golgi apparatus in mammalian cells can complement the temperature-sensitive phenotype of ypt6 null mutants. Interestingly, therefore, the C-terminal hypervariable domain of Rab6 is not required for this protein to function in S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

The nature of the complex containing GRASP65, a membrane protein involved in establishing the stacked structure of the Golgi apparatus, and GM130, a putative Golgi matrix protein and vesicle docking receptor, was investigated. Gel filtration revealed that GRASP65 and GM130 interact in detergent extracts of Golgi membranes under both interphase and mitotic conditions, and that this complex can bind to the vesicle docking protein p115. Using in vitro translation and site-directed mutagenesis in conjunction with immunoprecipitation, the binding site for GRASP65 on GM130 was mapped to the sequence xxNDxxxIMVI-COOH at the C-terminus of GM130, a region known to be required for its localization to the Golgi apparatus. The same approach was used to show that the binding site for GM130 on GRASP65 maps to amino acids 189-201, a region conserved in the mammalian and yeast proteins and reminiscent of PDZ domains. Using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged reporter constructs, it was shown that one essential function of the interaction between GRASP65 and GM130 is in the correct targeting of the two proteins to the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

In the course of screening a lambdagt11 human leukemic T-cell cDNA expression library with an antibody specific to the mitotic target of Src, Sam68, we identified and cloned a cDNA encoding a novel protein with a predicted molecular mass of 51.4 kDa. Polyclonal antibodies raised to a His(6)-tagged construct of this protein, detected a approximately 67-kDa protein in immunoprecipitation experiments, and cytological studies showed that this protein localized to the Golgi complex, through colocalization experiments with specific Golgi markers. Therefore, we designated this protein golgin-67. Sequence analysis revealed that golgin-67 is a highly coiled-coil protein, with potential Cdc2 and Src kinase phosphorylation motifs. It has sequence homologies to other Golgi proteins, including the coatamer complex I vesicle docking protein, GM130. Structurally, golgin-67 resembles, golgin-84, an integral membrane Golgi protein with an N-terminal coiled-coil domain and a single C-terminal transmembrane domain. The C-terminal region of golgin-67, which contains a predicted transmembrane domain, was demonstrated to be essential for its Golgi localization. 相似文献

Syntenin is a PDZ protein that binds the cytoplasmic C-terminal FYA motif of the syndecans. Syntenin is widely expressed. In cell fractionation experiments, syntenin partitions between the cytosol and microsomes. Immunofluorescence microscopy localizes endogenous and epitope-tagged syntenin to cell adhesion sites, microfilaments, and the nucleus. Syntenin is composed of at least three domains. Both PDZ domains of syntenin are necessary to target reporter tags to the plasma membrane. The addition of a segment of 10 amino acids from the N-terminal domain of syntenin to these PDZ domains increases the localization of the tags to stress fibers and induces the formation of long, branching plasma membrane extensions. The addition of the complete N-terminal region, in contrast, reduces the localization of the tags to plasma membrane/adhesion sites and stress fibers, and reduces the morphotypical effects. Recombinant domains of syntenin with the highest plasma membrane localization display the lowest nuclear localization. Syndecan-1, E-cadherin, beta-catenin, and alpha-catenin colocalize with syntenin at cell-cell contacts in epithelial cells, and coimmunoprecipitate with syntenin from extracts of these cells. These results suggest a role for syntenin in the composition of adherens junctions and the regulation of plasma membrane dynamics, and imply a potential role for syntenin in nuclear processes. 相似文献

Golgin-160 belongs to the golgin family of Golgi-localized proteins, which have been implicated in Golgi structure and function. Golgin-160 possesses an N-terminal non-coiled-coil "head" domain followed by an extensive coiled-coil region. Using the N-terminal head domain of golgin-160 as bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen, the postsynaptic density-95/Discs large/zona occludens-1 (PDZ) domain protein interacting specifically with TC10 (PIST) was identified to interact with golgin-160. PIST (also known as GOPC, CAL, and FIG) has been implicated in the trafficking of a subset of plasma membrane proteins, supporting a role of golgin-160 in vesicular trafficking. Golgin-160 and PIST colocalize to Golgi membranes and interact in vivo. Glutathione S-transferase binding experiments identified an internal region of PIST that includes a coiled-coil domain, which interacts directly with golgin-160. Similar binding experiments identified a leucine-rich repeat within golgin-160 necessary for interaction with PIST. Therefore, our data suggest that golgin-160 may participate in PIST-dependent trafficking of cargo. Interestingly, we also discovered a widely expressed isoform of golgin-160, golgin-160B, which lacks the exon encoding the leucine repeat that mediates binding to PIST. As predicted, golgin-160B was unable to bind PIST. Full-length golgin-160 and golgin-160B may link distinct subsets of proteins to effect specific membrane trafficking pathways. 相似文献

G protein-coupled receptors such as the beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta1AR) must be trafficked to the plasma membrane in order to bind with their extracellular ligands and regulate cellular physiology. By using glutathione S-transferase pull-down techniques, we found that the beta1AR carboxyl terminus directly interacts with the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-associated ligand (CAL; also known as PIST, GOPC, and FIG), a protein known to be primarily localized to the Golgi apparatus. CAL contains two predicted coiled-coil domains and one PSD-95/Discs-large/ZO-1 homology (PDZ) domain. The beta1AR carboxyl terminus (CT) binds to the PDZ domain of CAL, with the last few amino acids (ESKV) of the beta1AR-CT being the key determinants for the interaction. Mutation of the terminal valine residue resulted in markedly reduced association of the beta1AR-CT with CAL. Numerous other mutations to the ESKV motif also impaired the beta1AR-CT/CAL interaction, suggesting that this motif is close to optimal for association with the CAL PDZ domain. In cells, full-length beta1AR robustly associates with CAL, and this interaction is abolished by mutation of the terminal valine to alanine of the receptor (V477A), as determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiments and immunofluorescence co-localization studies. Consistent with observations that CAL is a Golgi-associated protein, overexpression of CAL reduces surface expression of beta1AR. Interaction with CAL promotes retention of beta1AR within the cell, whereas PSD-95, another beta1AR-associated PDZ domain-containing protein, competitively blocks beta1AR association with CAL and promotes receptor trafficking to the cell surface. These data reveal that CAL, a novel beta1AR-binding partner, modulates beta1AR intracellular trafficking, thereby revealing a new mechanism of regulation for beta1AR anterograde trafficking through the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi complex to the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Signals regulating trafficking of Menkes (MNK; ATP7A) copper-translocating P-type ATPase in polarized MDCK cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The Menkes protein (MNK; ATP7A) functions as a transmembrane copper-translocating P-type ATPase and plays a vital role in systemic copper absorption in the gut and copper reabsorption in the kidney. Polarized epithelial cells such as Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells are a physiologically relevant model for systemic copper absorption and reabsorption in vivo. In this study, cultured MDCK cells were used to characterize MNK trafficking and enabled the identification of signaling motifs required to target the protein to specific membranes. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy and surface biotinylation we demonstrate that MNK relocalizes from the Golgi to the basolateral (BL) membrane under elevated copper conditions. As previously shown in nonpolarized cells, the metal binding sites in the NH2-terminal domain of MNK were found to be required for copper-regulated trafficking from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. These data provide molecular evidence that is consistent with the presumed role of this protein in systemic copper absorption in the gut and reabsorption in the kidney. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we identified a dileucine motif proximal to the COOH terminus of MNK that was critical for correctly targeting the protein to the BL membrane and a putative PDZ target motif that was required for localization at the BL membrane in elevated copper.

PSD-95/Disc-large/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain-containing proteins play a central role in synaptic organization by their involvement in neurotransmitter receptor clustering and signaling complex assembly. The protein interacting with protein kinase C (PICK1), a synaptic PDZ domain protein that also contains a coiled-coil and acidic domain, binds to several synaptic components including the metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR7a. Coexpression of PICK1 and mGluR7a in heterologous cells induces coclustering of these two proteins. To examine the role of the different structural motifs of PICK1 in synaptic aggregation of PICK1 and mGluR7a coclustering, several PICK1 mutants were generated to analyze their distribution in transfected hippocampal cultured neurons and to test their ability to induce coclusters with mGluR7a when coexpressed in fibroblast cells. The PDZ and coiled-coil domains are both required, whereas the acidic region plays an inhibitory role in these processes. Our data suggest that synaptic aggregation and receptor coclustering depend on PICK1 binding to a target membrane receptor, e.g. mGluR7a, by a PDZ-mediated interaction and on PICK1 oligomerization through the coiled-coil domain. This study defined three structural signals within PICK1 regulating its synaptic localization and receptor coclustering activity, which could represent molecular substrates involved in synaptic development and plasticity. 相似文献

PDZ domains are involved in the scaffolding and assembly of multi-protein complexes at various subcellular sites. We describe here the isolation and characterization of a novel PDZ domain-containing protein that localizes to the Golgi apparatus. Using an in silico cloning approach, we have identified and isolated a cDNA encoding a ubiquitously expressed 59-kDa protein that we call FIG. It is composed of two coiled coil regions, a leucine zipper, and a single PDZ domain. Cytological studies using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that FIG is a peripheral protein that uses one of its coiled coil domains to localize to the Golgi apparatus. To ascertain the modalities of this Golgi localization, the same coiled coil region was tested for its ability to interact with a panel of coiled coil domain-containing integral membrane Golgi proteins. Using a series of GST fusion protein binding assays, co-immunofluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation experiments, we show that FIG specifically binds to the coiled coil domain-containing Q-SNARE (Q-soluble NSF attachment protein receptor) protein syntaxin 6 both in vitro and in vivo. The structural features of FIG and its interaction with a SNARE protein suggest that FIG may play a role in membrane vesicle trafficking. This is the first example of a PDZ domain-containing peripheral protein that localizes to the Golgi through a coiled coil-mediated interaction with a resident membrane protein. Our results broaden the scope of PDZ domain-mediated functions. 相似文献

By yeast two-hybrid screening we have identified interaction partners for the intracellular C-terminal tail of the human and rodent somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5). Interactions with the PDZ domain-containing proteins PIST and PDZK1 are mediated by the PDZ ligand motif at the C terminus of the receptor; in case of the human and mouse (but not the rat) receptors, a slight sequence variation of this motif also allows for binding of the peroxisomal receptor PEX5. PIST is Golgi-associated and retains SSTR5 in the Golgi apparatus when coexpressed with the receptor; PDZK1 on the other hand associates with the SSTR5 at the plasma membrane. Endogenous SSTR5 in the neuroendocrine AtT-20 tumor cell line is colocalized with PIST in the Golgi apparatus. On a functional level, removal of the PDZ ligand motif of the receptor does not interfere with agonist-dependent internalization of the receptor or its targeting to a Golgi-associated compartment; however, recycling of the receptor to the plasma membrane after washout of the agonist is inhibited, suggesting that the PDZ-mediated interaction of SSTR5 is required for postendocytic sorting. 相似文献

The voltage-gated potassium channel, Kv1.3, plays an important role in regulating membrane excitability in diverse cell types ranging from T-lymphocytes to neurons. In the present study, we test the hypothesis that the C-terminal PDZ binding domain modulates the function and localization of Kv1.3. We created a mutant form of Kv1.3 that lacked the last three amino acids of the C-terminal PDZ-binding domain (Kv1.3ΔTDV). This form of Kv1.3 did not bind the PDZ domain containing protein, PSD95. We transfected wild type and mutant Kv1.3 into HEK293 cells and determined if the mutation affected current, Golgi localization, and surface expression of the channel. We found that cells transfected with Kv1.3ΔTDV had greater current and lower Golgi localization than those transfected with Kv1.3. Truncation of the C-terminal PDZ domain did not affect surface expression of Kv1.3. These findings suggest that PDZ-dependent interactions affect both Kv1.3 localization and function. The finding that current and Golgi localization changed without a corresponding change in surface expression suggests that PDZ interactions affect localization and function via independent mechanisms. 相似文献

ClC chloride channels are widely distributed in organisms across the evolutionary spectrum, and members of the mammalian family play crucial roles in cellular function and are mutated in several human diseases (Jentsch, T. J., Stein, V., Weinreich, F., and Zdebik, A. A. (2002) Physiol. Rev. 82, 503-568). Within the ClC-3, -4, -5 branch of the family that are intracellular channels, two alternatively spliced ClC-3 isoforms were recognized recently (Ogura, T., Furukawa, T., Toyozaki, T., Yamada, K., Zheng, Y. J., Katayama, Y., Nakaya, H., and Inagaki, N. (2002) FASEB J. 16, 863-865). ClC-3A resides in late endosomes where it serves as an anion shunt during acidification. We show here that the ClC-3B PDZ-binding isoform resides in the Golgi where it co-localizes with a small amount of the other known PDZ-binding chloride channel, CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator). Both channel proteins bind the Golgi PDZ protein, GOPC (Golgi-associated PDZ and coiled-coil motif-containing protein). Interestingly, however, when overexpressed, GOPC, which is thought to influence traffic in the endocytic/secretory pathway, causes a large reduction in the amounts of both channels, probably by leading them to the degradative end of this pathway. ClC-3B as well as CFTR also binds EBP50 (ERM-binding phosphoprotein 50) and PDZK1, which are concentrated at the plasma membrane. However, only PDZK1 was found to promote interaction between the two channels, perhaps because they were able to bind to two different PDZ domains in PDZK1. Thus while small portions of the populations of ClC-3B and CFTR may associate and co-localize, the bulk of the two populations reside in different organelles of cells where they are expressed heterologously or endogenously, and therefore their cellular functions are likely to be distinct and not primarily related. 相似文献

We identified a novel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-associating, PDZ domain-containing protein, CAL (CFTR associated ligand) containing two predicted coiled-coiled domains and one PDZ domain. The PDZ domain of CAL binds to the C terminus of CFTR. Although CAL does not have any predicted transmembrane domains, CAL is associated with membranes mediated by a region containing the coiled-coil domains. CAL is located primarily at the Golgi apparatus, co-localizing with trans-Golgi markers and is sensitive to Brefeldin A treatment. Immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that CAL exists as a multimer. Overexpression of CAL reduces CFTR chloride currents in mammalian cells and decreases expression, rate of insertion and half-life of CFTR in the plasma membrane. The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor, NHE-RF, a subplasma membrane PDZ domain protein, restores cell surface expression of CFTR and chloride currents. In addition, NHE-RF inhibits the binding of CAL to CFTR. CAL modulates the surface expression of CFTR. CAL favors retention of CFTR within the cell, whereas NHE-RF favors surface expression by competing with CAL for the binding of CFTR. Thus, the regulation of CFTR in the plasma membrane involves the dynamic interaction between at least two PDZ domain proteins. 相似文献

The Golgi apparatus is an intracellular compartment necessary for post-translational modification, sorting and transport of proteins. It plays a key role in mitotic entry through the Golgi mitotic checkpoint. In order to identify new proteins involved in the Golgi mitotic checkpoint, we combine the results of a knockdown screen for mitotic phenotypes and a localization screen. Using this approach, we identify a new Golgi protein C11ORF24 (NP_071733.1). We show that C11ORF24 has a signal peptide at the N-terminus and a transmembrane domain in the C-terminal region. C11ORF24 is localized on the Golgi apparatus and on the trans-Golgi network. A large part of the protein is present in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus whereas only a short tail extends into the cytosol. This cytosolic tail is well conserved in evolution. By FRAP experiments we show that the dynamics of C11ORF24 in the Golgi membrane are coherent with the presence of a transmembrane domain in the protein. C11ORF24 is not only present on the Golgi apparatus but also cycles to the plasma membrane via endosomes in a pH sensitive manner. Moreover, via video-microscopy studies we show that C11ORF24 is found on transport intermediates and is colocalized with the small GTPase RAB6, a GTPase involved in anterograde transport from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Knocking down C11ORF24 does not lead to a mitotic phenotype or an intracellular transport defect in our hands. All together, these data suggest that C11ORF24 is present on the Golgi apparatus, transported to the plasma membrane and cycles back through the endosomes by way of RAB6 positive carriers. 相似文献

PICK1 is a peripheral membrane protein conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to the human. It is expressed in many tissues with high levels in brain and testis. Inside cells, PICK1 is localized at the perinuclear region as well as specialized structures such as synapses of neurons. PICK1 contains a PDZ domain and a BAR domain. The PDZ domain of PICK1 binds to a large number of membrane proteins, especially proteins with C-terminal type II PDZ-binding motifs. The BAR domain of PICK1 binds to lipid molecules, mainly phosphoinositides. While the PDZ domain and the linker region of PICK1 enhance BAR domain's lipid binding, the C-terminal region of PICK1 inhibits its lipid binding. PICK1 regulates the subcellular localization and surface expression of its PDZ-binding partners. Lipid binding of PICK1's BAR domain is important for this regulation. With its PDZ domain interacting with membrane proteins and its BAR domain binding to lipids, the unique structure of PICK1 enables it to couple membrane proteins to protein-trafficking machinery. 相似文献

Golgins are large coiled-coil proteins that play a role in tethering of vesicles to Golgi membranes and in maintaining the overall structure of the Golgi apparatus. Six Arabidopsis proteins with the structural characteristics of golgins were isolated and shown to locate to Golgi stacks when fused to GFP. Two of these golgin candidates (GC1 and GC2) possess C-terminal transmembrane (TM) domains with similarity to the TM domain of human golgin-84. The C-termini of two others (GC3/GDAP1 and GC4) contain conserved GRAB and GA1 domains that are also found in yeast Rud3p and human GMAP210. GC5 shares similarity with yeast Sgm1p and human TMF and GC6 with yeast Uso1p and human p115. When fused to GFP, the C-terminal domains of AtCASP and GC1 to GC6 localized to the Golgi, showing that they contain Golgi localization motifs. The N-termini, on the other hand, label the cytosol or nucleus. Immuno-gold labelling and co-expression with the cis Golgi Q-SNARE Memb11 resulted in a more detailed picture of the sub-Golgi location of some of these putative golgins. Using two independent assays it is further demonstrated that the interaction between GC5, the TMF homologue, and the Rab6 homologues is conserved in plants. 相似文献
