Gram‐negative bacteria use type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) to deliver toxic effector proteins into neighboring cells. Cargo effectors are secreted by binding noncovalently to the T6SS apparatus. Occasionally, effector secretion is assisted by an adaptor protein, although the adaptor itself is not secreted. Here, we report a new T6SS secretion mechanism, in which an effector and a co‐effector are secreted together. Specifically, we identify a novel periplasm‐targeting effector that is secreted together with its co‐effector, which contains a MIX (marker for type sIX effector) domain previously reported only in polymorphic toxins. The effector and co‐effector directly interact, and they are dependent on each other for secretion. We term this new secretion mechanism “a binary effector module,” and we show that it is widely distributed in marine bacteria. 相似文献

Members of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily of receptors induce apoptosis by recruiting adaptor molecules through death domain interactions. The central adaptor molecule for these receptors is the death domain-containing protein Fas-associated death domain (FADD). FADD binds a death domain on a receptor or additional adaptor and recruits caspases to the activated receptor. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) signals apoptosis through two receptors, DR4 and DR5. Although there is much interest in TRAIL, the mechanism by which FADD is recruited to the TRAIL receptors is not clear. Using a reverse two-hybrid system we previously identified mutations in the death effector domain of FADD that prevented binding to Fas/CD95. Here we show that these mutations also prevent binding to DR5. FADD-deficient Jurkat cells stably expressing these FADD mutations did not transduce TRAIL or Fas/CD95 signaling. Second site compensating mutations that restore binding to and signaling through Fas/CD95 and DR5 were also in the death effector domain. We conclude that in contrast to current models where the death domain of FADD functions independently of the death effector domain, the death effector domain of FADD comes into direct contact with both TRAIL and Fas/CD95 receptors. 相似文献

An important role has emerged for adaptor molecules in linking cell-surface receptors, such as the B-cell antigen receptor, with effector enzymes. Adaptor proteins direct the appropriate subcellular localization of effectors and regulate their activity by inducing conformational changes, both of which, in turn, contribute to the spatio-temporal precision of B-cell signal-transduction events. In addition, adaptor molecules participate in establishing negative- or positive-feedback regulatory loops in signalling networks, thereby fine-tuning the B-cell response. 相似文献

Mast cells function as the initiator of the allergic reaction and play a role in the innate immune system. Aggregation of the high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) on mast cells triggers degranulation with the release of chemical mediators such as histamine, production of cytokines and leukotrienes. FcepsilonRI signals by activating proximal non-receptor type of protein-tyrosine kinases, Lyn, Syk, Btk and Fyn. Activated tyrosine kinases then phosphorylate their specific substrates which include other enzymes and adaptor proteins and assemble these cytoplasmic signaling molecules for cellular activation. The adaptor proteins have multiple domains that allow binding to effector molecules and therefore act as positive or negative regulators controlling FcepsilonRI signaling. Deletion of the adaptor proteins such as LAT, SLP-76 or Gab2 resulted in decreased FcepsilonRI-mediated anaphylactic reaction in vivo. Functional analysis of adaptor proteins has raised the possibility that they may be new targets for the discovery of anti-allergic drugs. 相似文献

Receptor oligomerization is vital for activating intracellular signaling, in part by initiating events that recruit effector and adaptor proteins to sites of active signaling. Whether these distal molecules themselves oligomerize is not well appreciated. In this study, we examined the molecular interactions of the adaptor protein GRB2. In T cells, the SH2 domain of GRB2 binds phosphorylated tyrosines on the adaptor protein LAT and the GRB2 SH3 domains associate with the proline-rich regions of SOS1 and CBL. Using biochemical and biophysical techniques in conjunction with confocal microscopy, we observed that the simultaneous association of GRB2, via its SH2 and SH3 domains, with multivalent ligands led to the oligomerization of these ligands, which affected signaling. These data suggest that multipoint binding of distal adaptor proteins mediates the formation of oligomeric signaling clusters vital for intracellular signaling. 相似文献

The death domain and death effector domain are two common motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions between components of cell death signaling complexes. The mechanism by which these domains engage their binding partners has been explored by extensive mutagenesis of two death adaptors, FADD and TRADD, suggesting that a death adaptor can discriminate its intended binding partners from other proteins harboring similar motifs. Death adaptors are found to utilize one of two topologically conserved surfaces for protein-protein interaction, whether that partner is another adaptor or its cognate receptor. These surfaces are topologically related to the interaction between death domains observed in the x-ray crystal structure of the Drosophila adaptor Tube bound to Pelle kinase. Comparing the topology of protein-protein interactions for FADD complexes to TRADD complexes reveals that FADD uses a Tube-like surface in each of its death motifs to engage either CD95 or TRADD. TRADD reverses these roles, employing a Pelle-like surface to interact with either receptor TNFR1 or adaptor FADD. Since death adaptors display a Tube-like or Pelle-like preference for engaging their binding partners, Tube/Pelle-like pairing provides a mechanism for death adaptor discrimination of death receptors. 相似文献

Multiple effector domains within SNT1 coordinate ERK activation and neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Differentiation of neuronal precursor cells in response to neurotrophic differentiation factors is accompanied by the activation of membrane-anchored SNT signaling adaptor proteins. Two classes of differentiation factors, the neurotrophins and fibroblast growth factors, induce rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of SNT1(FRS2alpha), which in turn enables SNT1 to recruit Shp2 tyrosine phosphatase and Grb2 adaptor protein in complex with the Ras GDP/GTP exchange factor Sos. To determine effector functions of SNT that promote neuronal differentiation of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells, we engineered a chimeric protein, SNT1(IRS)CX, bearing the effector region of SNT1 and the insulin receptor recognition domains of IRS2. Insulin promoted tyrosine phosphorylation of SNT1(IRS)CX in transfected PC12 cells accompanied by sustained activation of ERK1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinases and neuronal differentiation. The SNT1(IRS)CX-mediated response was dependent on endogenous Ras, MEK, and Shp2 activities. Mutagenesis of SNT1(IRS)CX identified three classes of effector motifs within SNT critical for both sustained ERK activation and neuronal differentiation: 1) four phosphotyrosine motifs that mediate recruitment of Grb2, 2) two phosphotyrosine motifs that mediate recruitment of Shp2, and 3) a C-terminal motif that functions by helping to recruit Sos. We discuss possible mechanisms by which three functionally distinct SNT effector motifs collaborate to promote a downstream biochemical and biological response. 相似文献

Vibrio cholerae is a diverse species of Gram-negative bacteria, commonly found in the aquatic environment and the causative agent of the potentially deadly disease cholera. These bacteria employ a type VI secretion system (T6SS) when they encounter prokaryotic and eukaryotic competitors. This contractile puncturing device translocates a set of effector proteins into neighboring cells. Translocated effectors are toxic unless the targeted cell produces immunity proteins that bind and deactivate incoming effectors. Comparison of multiple V. cholerae strains indicates that effectors are encoded in T6SS effector modules on mobile genetic elements. We identified a diverse group of chimeric T6SS adaptor proteins required for the translocation of diverse effectors encoded in modules. An example for a T6SS effector that requires T6SS adaptor protein 1 (Tap-1) is TseL found in pandemic V. cholerae O1 serogroup strains and other clinical isolates. We propose a model in which Tap-1 is required for loading TseL onto the secretion apparatus. After T6SS-mediated TseL export is completed, Tap-1 is retained in the bacterial cell to load other T6SS machines. 相似文献

During the DNA-damage response, adaptor proteins mediate signaling between the PI3K-like sensor kinases, ATM and ATR, and serine/threonine effector kinases. Carballo et al. (2008) now show that the chromosomal protein Hop1 mediates PI3K-like kinase signaling during the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in meiosis. 相似文献

Membrane-targeting of signalling molecules by SH2/SH3 domain-containing adaptor proteins. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

SH2/SH3 domain-containing adaptor proteins play a critical role in regulating tyrosine kinase signalling pathways. The major function of these adaptors, such as Grb2, Nck, and Crk, is to recruit proline-rich effector molecules to tyrosine-phosphorylated kinases or their substrates. In recent years dozens of novel proteins have emerged that are capable of associating with the SH2 and the SH3 domains of adaptors. In this review, the author attempts to summarise these novel binding partners of Grb2, Nck, and Crk, and to discuss current controversies regarding function and regulation of protein multicomplexes held together by SH2/SH3 adaptor molecules at the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Efficient trafficking of ubiquitinated receptors (cargo) to endosomes requires the recruitment of adaptor proteins that exhibit ubiquitin-binding domains for recognition and transport. Tom1 is an adaptor protein that not only associates with ubiquitinated cargo but also represents a phosphoinositide effector during specific bacterial infections. This phosphoinositide-binding property is associated with its N-terminal Vps27, Hrs, STAM (VHS) domain. Despite its biological relevance, there are no resonance assignments of Tom1 VHS available that can fully characterize its molecular interactions. Here, we report the nearly complete 1H, 15N, and 13C backbone resonance assignments of the VHS domain of human Tom1. 相似文献

Class I(A) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is a key component of important intracellular signalling cascades. We have identified an adaptor protein, Ruk(l), which forms complexes with the PI 3-kinase holoenzyme in vitro and in vivo. This interaction involves the proline-rich region of Ruk and the SH3 domain of the p85 alpha regulatory subunit of the class I(A) PI 3-kinase. In contrast to many other adaptor proteins that activate PI 3-kinase, interaction with Ruk(l) substantially inhibits the lipid kinase activity of the enzyme. Overexpression of Ruk(l) in cultured primary neurons induces apoptosis, an effect that could be reversed by co-expression of constitutively activated forms of the p110 alpha catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase or its downstream effector PKB/Akt. Our data provide evidence for the existence of a negative regulator of the PI 3-kinase signalling pathway that is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Structural similarities between Ruk, CIN85 and CD2AP/CMS suggest that these proteins form a novel family of adaptor molecules that are involved in various intracellular signalling pathways. 相似文献

Receptor-mediated programmed cell death proceeds through an activated receptor to which the death adaptor FADD and the initiator procaspases 8 and/or 10 are recruited following receptor stimulation. The adaptor FADD is responsible for both receptor binding and recruitment of the procaspases into the death-inducing signaling complex. Biochemical dissection of the FADD death effector domain and functional replacement with a coiled-coil motif demonstrates that there is an obligatory FADD self-association via the DED during assembly of the death-inducing signaling complex. Using engineered oligomerization motifs with defined stoichiometries, the requirement for FADD self-association through the DED can be separated from the caspase-recruitment function of the domain. Disruption of FADD self-association precludes formation of a competent signaling complex. On this basis, we propose an alternative architecture for the FADD signaling complex in which FADD acts as a molecular bridge to stitch together an array of activated death receptors. 相似文献

EspFU is a translocated EHEC effector that interacts with Tir and N-WASP and promotes Nck-independent actin assembly 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Several microbial pathogens including enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) exploit mammalian tyrosine-kinase signaling cascades to recruit Nck adaptor proteins and activate N-WASP-Arp2/3-mediated actin assembly. To promote localized actin "pedestal formation," EPEC translocates the bacterial effector protein Tir into the plasma membrane, where it is tyrosine-phosphorylated and binds Nck. Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) also generates Tir-dependent pedestals, but in the absence of phosphotyrosines and Nck recruitment. To identify additional EHEC effectors that stimulate phosphotyrosine-independent actin assembly, we systematically generated EHEC mutants containing specific deletions in putative pathogenicity-islands. Among 0.33 Mb of deleted sequences, only one ORF was critical for pedestal formation. It lies within prophage-U, and encodes a protein similar to the known effector EspF. This proline-rich protein, EspFU, is the only EHEC effector of actin assembly absent from EPEC. Whereas EHEC Tir cannot efficiently recruit N-WASP or trigger actin polymerization, EspFU associates with Tir, binds N-WASP, and potently stimulates Nck-independent actin assembly. 相似文献

Adaptor proteins play a pivotal role in the regulation of signal transduction events elicited after the engagement of cell surface receptors. Platelets exhibit a number of integral membrane receptors capable of initiating a cellular response. These include collagen receptors, von Willebrand factor receptors, the fibrinogen receptor, and a number of G-protein coupled receptors, such as those for thrombin and ADP. The primary function of platelet receptors is the translation of externally applied signals into appropriate responses leading to platelet activation being a prerequisite for normal hemostasis. Multitude of signalling pathways described in platelets is based on the interaction of compounds of many different categories, such as transmembrane receptors, protein kinases, protein phoshatases, G-proteins, transmembrane and cytosolic adaptor proteins, phosphoinositides, cyclic AMP or GMP. Adaptor proteins lack intrinsic effector function, but contain distinct molecular domains, which mediate protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions. These molecules thus serve as a scaffolding, around which effectors and their substrates are assembled into three-dimensional signaling complexes. Adaptor proteins integrate receptor-mediated signals at intracellular levels and couple signaling receptors to cytosolic signaling pathways. While the function of adaptor proteins is well established in immune cells, the knowledge about their role in platelet activation is still at the onset Over the last decade numerous adaptor proteins have been identified in platelets and shown to be involved in accurate assembly of intracellular signaling complexes. Collagen-induced platelet intracellular signaling through GPVI resembles the functional response of B- and T-cell antigen receptors and is the best described in the literature. This review focuses on the structure and functional role of the most extensively studied adaptor proteins during platelet activation induced by physiological agonists. 相似文献

Advances in the understanding of Ras oncoprotein function suggest novel points for anti-tumor intervention. First, upstream-acting guanine nucleotide exchange factors and SH2/SH3 domain-containing adaptor proteins that link Ras with growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases have recently been characterized. Second, work on downstream-acting Ras effector functions including the Ras GTPase-activating protein (p120GAP) and the Raf kinase has revealed direct biochemical interactions that are functionally required for oncogenic Ras signalling. We summarize progress in these areas and discuss the potential for novel applications to anti-cancer chemotherapy. 相似文献
