Deletion of cytoplasmic sequences of the nerve growth factor receptor leads to loss of high affinity ligand binding 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor is a glycosylated transmembrane protein present on the cell surface as both high and low affinity forms, but biological responsiveness requires interactions of NGF with the high affinity site. We have tested the effects of mutations in the intracellular domain of the receptor upon its cell surface expression and equilibrium binding of 125I-NGF. Although mutant receptors lacking the entire cytoplasmic domain are processed and expressed at the cell surface and are capable of binding to NGF, the absence of cytoplasmic sequences leads to a loss of high affinity binding and to a lack of an appropriate cross-linking pattern as assessed by N-hydroxysuccinimidyl 4-azidobenzoate photoaffinity cross-linking. These results, taken together with the highly conserved nature of these cytoplasmic sequences, implies that the interaction of the receptor with an accessory molecule is necessary to form the high affinity receptor. 相似文献

In PC12 cells, retinoic acid (RA) stimulates the expression of p75NGFR, a component of the nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor, as indicated by a rapid increase in p75NGFR mRNA, an increase in the binding of 125I-labeled NGF to p75NGFR, and an increase in the binding of NGF to low affinity sites. RA-treated cells are more sensitive to NGF, but not to either fibroblast growth factor or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, showing that RA has a specific effect on the responsiveness of PC12 cells to NGF. Exposure to RA leads neither to an increase in the expression of mRNA for trk, another component of the NGF receptor, nor to an increase in binding to high affinity receptors, suggesting that an increase in the expression of p75NGFR is sufficient to make cells more sensitive to NGF. This work suggests that, in addition to having direct effects on gene expression, RA can indirectly modulate differentiation of neurons by modifying their expression of cell surface receptors to peptide growth factors. 相似文献

In the post-genomic era, validation of candidate gene targets frequently requires proteinbased strategies. Phage display is a powerful tool to define protein-protein interactions by generating peptide binders against target antigens. Epitope phage display libraries have the potential to enrich coding exon sequences from human genomic loci. We evaluated genomic and cDNA phage display strategies to identify genes in the 5q31 Interleukin gene cluster and to enrich cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase genes from a breast cancer cDNA library. A genomic display library containing 2 x 106 clones with exon-sized inserts was selected with antibodies specific for human Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and Interleukin-13. The library was enriched significantly after two selection rounds and DNA sequencing revealed unique clones. One clone matched a cognate IL-4 epitope; however, the majority of clone insert sequences corresponded to E. coli genomic DNA. These bacterial sequences act as 'mimotopes' (mimetic sequences of the true epitope), correspond to open reading frames, generate displayed peptides, and compete for binding during phage selection. The specificity of these mimotopes for IL-4 was confirmed by competition ELISA. Other E. coli mimotopes were generated using additional antibodies. Mimotopes for a receptor tyrosine kinase gene were also selected using a breast cancer SKBR-3 cDNA phage display library, screened against an anti-erbB2 monoclonal antibody. Identification of mimotopes in genomic and cDNA phage libraries is essential for phage display-based protein validation assays and two-hybrid phage approaches that examine protein-protein interactions. The predominance of E. coli mimotopes suggests that the E. coli genome may be useful to generate peptide diversity biased towards protein coding sequences.ABBREVIATIONS USED: IL, interleukin; ELISA, enzyme linked immunoabsorbant assay; PBS, phospho-buffered saline; cfu, colony forming units. 相似文献

The effects of agents that inhibit receptor-mediated endocytosis on type I (slow or high-affinity) and type II (fast or low-affinity) NGF binding have been examined in rat PC12 cells. Compounds interfering with endocytosis eliminate type I NGF binding; those interfering with acidification of endosomal vesicles cause increased type I binding at the expense of type II binding. Measurement of NGF binding during and after treatment with inhibitors indicates that NGF receptors rapidly cycle from the cell surface into an undefined endocytotic compartment and back to the surface with little degradation of receptor or NGF, consistent with a model in which NGF receptors are rapidly and reversibly endocytosed or sequestered; those receptors free on the surface represent type II NGF receptors, while those in the process of endocytosis represent type I NGF receptors. The type I and type II NGF receptor species can be interconverted by agents that can manipulate the position of the receptor in the internalization cycle. 相似文献

Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds to a low affinity cell surface receptor (p75NGFR) which contains four extracellular repeats, rich in cysteine residues and negatively charged. We have made mutations in the receptor cDNA by inserting linkers in specific domains of the receptor. Nearly all the mutations caused a change in the predicted charge, and resulted in either an insertion or deletion in the primary sequence. Stably transfected fibroblasts were assayed for NGF binding by affinity cross-linking with 125I-NGF. Appropriate expression of the mutated receptors was monitored by rosetting with monoclonal antibodies and by metabolic labeling followed by immunoprecipitation. Although the mutant receptors were recognized by monoclonal antibodies, insertions and deletions in the third and fourth cysteine-rich regions of the receptor had a detrimental effect upon NGF binding. Insertions made outside the cysteine-rich region or in the cytoplasmic domain did not inhibit the ability of 125I-NGF to bind to the receptor, as assessed by affinity cross-linking. A chimeric human-rat NGF receptor transfected into fibroblasts indicates that NGF binding and monoclonal antibody recognition sites are separated but contained within the four cysteine repeats. 相似文献

The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor is an integral membrane protein that is phosphorylated and heavily glycosylated. Determination of the amino acid sequence by molecular cloning indicates that the receptor is a cysteine-rich protein which contains a signal peptide sequence and spans the lipid bilayer with a single transmembrane sequence. A single mRNA of 3.8 kilobases was observed for the receptor, of which 1.5 kilobases is coding sequence. We have used microinjection of receptor RNA in Xenopus laevis oocytes to obtain cell surface expression of the receptor. The presence of NGF receptors in oocytes was verified by radioimmunoassay, specific binding of [125I]NGF, and metabolic labeling followed by immunoprecipitation. The NGF receptor protein was rapidly processed in oocytes and displayed extensive glycosylation. Furthermore, the presence of NGF receptors in oocytes potentiates the ability of progesterone to induce maturation. 相似文献

Phage display antibody (PDA) libraries, allows the rapid isolation and characterization of high specificity monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. However, selection of positive binding clones from synthetic and semi-synthetic libraries has an inherent bias towards clones containing randomly generated amber stop codons, complicating the identification of high affinity binding antibodies. We screened Tomlinson I and J library against receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS CoV2, eight clones which showed positive binding in phage ELISA, contained one or more amber stop codons in their single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) gene sequences. The presence of amber stop codons within the antibody sequence causes the premature termination of soluble form of scFv expression in nonsuppressor Escherichia coli strain. In the present study, we have used a novel strategy that allows soluble expression of scFvs having amber stop codon in their gene sequences (without phage PIII protein fusion), in the suppressor strain. This strategy of introduction of Ochre (TAA) codon at the junction of scFv and PIII gene, speeds up the initial screening process which is critical for selecting the right scFvs for further studies. Present strategy leads to the identification of a scFv, B8 that binds specifically with nanomolar affinity toward SARS CoV 2 RBD, which otherwise lost in terms of traditional methodology. 相似文献

Abstract: TrkA is a receptor tyrosine kinase for nerve growth factor (NGF). Recent studies indicate that NGF regulates not only activation of trkA kinase but also expression of the trkA gene. To further define NGF actions on trkA, we examined binding and signaling through trkA after both short and long intervals of NGF treatment. Induction of tyrosine phosphorylation on gp140 trkA was rapidly followed by down-regulation of cell surface and total cellular gp140 trkA . At later intervals, increased expression of trkA was evident in increased mRNA and protein levels. At 7 days, there was increased binding to gp140 trkA and increased signaling through this receptor. NGF appears to regulate trkA at several levels. In neurons persistently exposed to NGF, maintenance of NGF signaling may require increased trkA gene expression. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor is a potent growth-promoting factor for a variety of tissue cells in vivo and in vitro. Epidermal growth factor binds, phosphorylates, and activates epidermal growth factor receptors on the cell surface. In this study, we attempted to design functional peptide mimics by panning a phage display library on the anti-epidermal growth factor monoclonal antibody. By using anti-epidermal growth factor monoclonal antibody as a mold of the structure of the binding site of epidermal growth factor, high-efficiency probing was expected. From a random peptide phage display library, phage clones that bind to the anti-epidermal growth factor monoclonal antibody were isolated. One of the phage clones also exhibited binding activity to the epidermal growth factor receptor. The amino acid sequence of this phage clone showed slight similarity to the primary sequence of epidermal growth factor. We synthesized this motif to a 9-amino-acid intramolecularly disulfide-linked peptide. This synthetic peptide inhibited mitogenesis as well as epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, which is induced by epidermal growth factor. The present results suggest that the peptide synthesized in this study may mimic the epidermal growth factor receptor-binding region in epidermal growth factor. 相似文献

Clonal variants of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells with altered response to nerve growth factor 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
We describe the isolation and characterization of clonal variants of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells which have been selected for loss of response to nerve growth factor (NGF). PC12 cells mutagenized with ethyl methanesulfonate were cultured in the presence of NGF, causing normal cells to cease proliferation and allowing the isolation of cell clones which do not show growth inhibition by NGF. Some but not all of these clones also failed to respond morphologically to NGF. Forty clones were isolated and characterized. Many exhibited altered morphologies of a variety of types, including clones with an NGF-independent formation of neurites and clones with various types of flattened epithelial morphology. Variant clones appeared to be mutants since their frequency of occurrence was increased by mutagen, the clones were generally phenotypically stable and no alteration in chromosomal composition was observed. Three clones lacked NGF receptor. Some clones responded morphologically to NGF (by forming neurites) without inhibition of proliferation. Several clones which did not otherwise respond to NGF nevertheless responded with transient membrane ruffling. Thus transient changes in cell surface morphology caused by NGF binding do not necessarily lead to subsequent responses. Several alternative hypotheses concerning the nature of the mutations induced are discussed. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that nicotine may have beneficial actions in neurodegenerative disease models. The purpose of the experiments described in this study was to determine whether the long lasting and beneficial effects of nicotine observed previously could be expressed through actions upon nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors. Using a differentiated PC-12 neuronal cell model, we have detected an increase in expression of cell surface NGF receptor protein after acute exposure to nicotine in the micromolar range. In addition, we have also observed a persistent effect upon NGF receptor expression which lasted even after nicotine (nanomolar range) was removed from the tissue culture medium. This increase in cell surface NGF receptor protein was blocked in the presence of mecamylamine, indicating that this effect is likely nicotinic receptor mediated. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the lasting and beneficial actions of nicotine previously observed in vivo may involve an indirect effect upon the level of neuronal cell surface NGF receptor expression. Our observations offer one possible mechanism for a potential neurotrophic effect of nicotine. 相似文献

The current paradigm for the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) or FGF-2 in the differentiation of neuronal cells implies their binding to specific receptors and activation of kinase cascades leading to the expression of differentiation specific genes. We examined herein the hypothesis that FGF receptors (FGFRs) are involved in NGF-induced neuritogenesis of pheochromocytoma-derived PC12 cells. We demonstrate that in PC12 cells, FGFR expression and activity are modulated upon NGF treatment and that a dominant negative FGFR-2 reduces NGF-induced neuritogenesis. Moreover, FGF-2 expression is modulated by NGF, and FGF-2 is detected at the cell surface. Oligonucleotides that specifically inhibit FGF-2 binding to its receptors are able to significantly reduce NGF-induced neurite outgrowth. Finally, the duration of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity upon FGF or NGF stimulation is shortened in FGFR-2 dominant negative cells through inactivation of signaling from the receptor to the Ras/MAPK pathway. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that FGFR activation is involved in neuritogenesis induced by NGF where it contributes to a sustained MAPK activity in response to NGF. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic domain of the Fc gamma receptor IIB (FcgammaRIIB) can be successfully displayed on the surface of filamentous phage, and after phosphorylation in vitro, can interact specifically with the SH2 domains of SHP-2, a cytoplasmic tyrosine phosphatase. When full-length FcgammaRIIB is expressed on phage, however, this interaction is greatly compromised, illustrating that characteristics of the full-length sequence are not well tolerated by the phage display system. Many associations in cell physiology are driven by similar interactions involving small modular binding domains or ligands, and so a fragmented cDNA library will facilitate display of such domains free of sequences which compromise their expression. A fragmented leukocyte cDNA display library of 10(8) clones was constructed. This library was phosphorylated in vitro with fyn kinase and was selected against the tandem SH2 domains of SHP-2 in the search for additional ligands. A depletion strategy to remove non-specific clones was employed, using SHP-2 Sepharose, prior to in vitro phosphorylation and selection. This permitted the emergence of clones encoding the cytoplasmic domain of PECAM-1, another natural ligand for SHP-2. The importance of dual phosphorylation of tyrosine residues at positions 663 and 686 was confirmed in competition ELISA experiments using phosphorylated phage and synthetic peptides. Thus, phage display of fragmented cDNA libraries permits the identification and characterisation of phosphorylated ligands of modular binding domains based on their functional interaction. 相似文献

Targeted gene delivery to mammalian cells by filamentous bacteriophage. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
We report that prokaryotic viruses can be re-engineered to infect eukaryotic cells resulting in expression of a reporter gene inserted into the bacteriophage genome. Phage capable of binding mammalian cells expressing the growth factor receptor ErbB2 and undergoing receptor-mediated endocytosis were isolated by selection of a phage antibody library on breast tumor cells and recovery of infectious phage from within the cell. As determined by immunofluorescence, F5 phage were efficiently endocytosed into 100 % of ErbB2 expressing SKBR3 cells. To achieve reporter gene expression, F5 phage were engineered to package the green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene driven by the CMV promoter. These phage when applied to cells underwent ErbB2-mediated endocytosis leading to GFP expression. GFP expression occurred only in cells overexpressing ErbB2, was dose-dependent reaching, 4 % of cells after 60 hours and was detected with phage titers as low as 2.0 x 10(7) cfu/ml (500 phage/cell). The results demonstrate that bacterial viruses displaying the appropriate antibody can bind to mammalian receptors and utilize the endocytic pathway to infect eukaryotic cells, resulting in expression of a reporter gene inserted into the viral genome. This represents a novel method to discover targeting molecules capable of delivering a gene intracellularly into the correct trafficking pathway for gene expression by directly screening phage antibodies. This should significantly facilitate the identification of appropriate targets and targeting molecules for gene therapy or other applications where delivery into the cytosol is required. This approach can be adapted to directly select, rather than screen, phage antibodies for targeted gene expression. The results also demonstrate the potential of phage antibodies as an in vitro or in vivo targeted gene delivery vehicle. 相似文献

The neuronotrophic factor NGF binds to peripheral neurons of the dorsal root ganglion and the sympathetic nervous system. NGF binds to a cell surface receptor, NGFR, on these cells and displays Kd's of 10(-9) and 10(-11)M. NGF receptors have also been reported for basal forebrain magnocellular neurons. In addition, NGF specifically binds to NGFR on Schwann cells although the biological significance of this binding is not known. Here we report that NGF binds in a saturable and specific fashion to receptors on cultured isolated populations of rat astrocytes but not to oligodendrocytes. The binding to astrocytes in culture displayed a Kd of 2.7 +/- 1.0 nM with 36,000 receptors per cell. 相似文献

The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of a cDNA clone of the chicken NGF receptor (NGFR) is reported and is compared with sequences of mammalian NGF receptors. A model is presented in which monodentate or bidentate binding of NGF dimers to repeated cysteine-rich sequence elements of the receptor yields low- or high-affinity NGF binding, respectively. In situ hybridization is used to characterize expression of NGFR in developing chick from 40 hr to 10 days of embryogenesis. NGFR mRNA expression is detected in premigratory neural crest cells, in epibranchial placode cells, and in all sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic derivatives of these structures. In the embryonic CNS, NGFR mRNA is detected in the mantle zone but not the periventricular germinal zone throughout most of the neural tube. By Embryonic Day 8, NGFR mRNA is detected in a substantial fraction of cells in every brain region, with highest levels present in developing motor neurons. NGFR mRNA also is transiently expressed in many mesenchymal cell populations including cells in branchial arch, sclerotome, muscle anlagen, and feather follicles. The functional significance of wide-spread embryonic expression of the NGF receptor is discussed. 相似文献
