Metastasis-associated protein 3 (MTA3) is a constituent of the Mi-2/nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) protein complex that regulates gene expression by altering chromatin structure and can facilitate cohesin loading onto DNA. The biological function of MTA3 within the NuRD complex is unknown. Herein, we show that MTA3 was expressed highly in granulosa cell nuclei of all ovarian follicle stages and at lower levels in corpora lutea. We tested the hypothesis that MTA3-NuRD complex function is required for granulosa cell proliferation. In the ovary, MTA3 interacted with NuRD proteins CHD4 and HDAC1 and the core cohesin complex protein RAD21. In cultured mouse primary granulosa cells, depletion of endogenous MTA3 using RNA interference slowed cell proliferation; this effect was rescued by coexpression of exogenous MTA3. Slowing of cell proliferation correlated with a significant decrease in cyclin B1 and cyclin B2 expression. Granulosa cell populations lacking MTA3 contained a significantly higher percentage of cells in G2/M phase and a lower percentage in S phase compared with control cells. Furthermore, MTA3 depletion slowed entry into M phase as indicated by reduced phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 10. These findings provide the first evidence to date that MTA3 interacts with NuRD and cohesin complex proteins in the ovary in vivo and regulates G2/M progression in proliferating granulosa cells. 相似文献

Appropriate B cell activation is essential for adaptive immunity. In contrast to the molecular mechanisms that regulate positive signaling in immune responses, the counterbalancing negative regulatory pathways remain insufficiently understood. The Src homology domain 3 (SH3)-containing adapter protein SH3 lymphocyte protein 2 (SLy2, also known as hematopoietic adapter-containing SH3 and sterile α-motif (SAM) domains 1; HACS1) is strongly up-regulated upon B cell activation and functions as an endogenous immunoinhibitor in vivo, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of SLy2 function have been elusive. We have generated transgenic mice overexpressing SLy2 in B and T cells and have studied the biological effects of elevated SLy2 levels in Jurkat and HeLa cells. Our results demonstrate that SLy2 induces Rac1-dependent membrane ruffle formation and regulates cell spreading and polarization and that the SLy2 SH3 domain is essential for these effects. Using immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy, we provide evidence that the actin nucleation-promoting factor cortactin is an SH3 domain-directed interaction partner of SLy2. Consistent with an important role of SLy2 for actin cytoskeletal reorganization, we further show that SLy2-transgenic B cells are severely defective in cell spreading. Together, our findings extend our mechanistic understanding of the immunoinhibitory roles of SLy2 in vivo and suggest that the physiological up-regulation of SLy2 observed upon B cell activation functions to counteract excessive B cell spreading. 相似文献

HAP1 (Huntingtin-associated protein 1) consists of two alternately spliced isoforms (HAP1A and HAP1B, which have unique C-terminal sequences) and participates in intracellular trafficking. The C terminus of HAP1A is phosphorylated, and this phosphorylation was found to decrease the association of HAP1A with kinesin light chain, a protein involved in anterograde transport in cells. It remains unclear how this phosphorylation functions to regulate the association of HAP1 with trafficking proteins. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we found that HAP1 also interacts with 14-3-3 proteins, which are involved in the assembly of protein complexes and the regulation of protein trafficking. The interaction of HAP1 with 14-3-3 is confirmed by their immunoprecipitation and colocalization in mouse brain. Moreover, this interaction is specific to HAP1A and is increased by the phosphorylation of the C terminus of HAP1A. We also found that expression of 14-3-3 decreases the association of HAP1A with kinesin light chain. As a result, there is less HAP1A distributed in neurite tips of PC12 cells that overexpress 14-3-3. Also, overexpression of 14-3-3 reduces the effect of HAP1A in promoting neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells. We propose that the phosphorylation-dependent interaction of HAP1A with 14-3-3 regulates HAP1 function by influencing its association with kinesin light chain and trafficking in neuronal processes. 相似文献

Integrins are hetero-dimeric (α and β subunits) type I transmembrane proteins that facilitate cell adhesion and migration. The cytoplasmic tails (CTs) of integrins interact with a plethora of intra-cellular proteins that are required for integrin bidirectional signaling. In particular, the β CTs of integrins are known to recruit a variety of cytosolic proteins that often have overlapping recognition sites. However, the chronological sequence of β CTs/cytosolic proteins interactions remains to be fully characterized. Previous studies have shown that the scaffold protein 14-3-3ζ binds to phosphorylated β CTs in activated integrins, whereas interactions of Dok-1 with phosphorylated β CTs maintained integrins in the resting state. In this study, we examined the binding interactions between 14-3-3ζ, Dok1, and phosphorylated integrin β2 and β3 CTs. We show that the scaffold protein 14-3-3ζ interacts with the phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain of Dok1 even in the absence of the phosphorylated integrin β CTs. The interactions were mapped onto the β-sheet region of the PTB domain of Dok1. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the 14-3-3ζ/Dok1 binary complex is able to bind to their cognate phosphorylated sequence motifs in the integrin β CTs. We demonstrate that Thr phosphorylated pTTT β2 CT or pTST β3 CT can bind to 14-3-3ζ that is in complex with the Dok1 PTB domain, whereas Ser phosphorylated β2 CT or Tyr phosphorylated β3 CT interacted with Dok1 in 14-3-3ζ/Dok1 complex. Based on these data, we propose that 14-3-3ζ/Dok1 complex could serve as a molecular switch providing novel molecular insights into the regulating integrin activation. 相似文献

PITPs [PI (phosphatidylinositol) transfer proteins] bind and transfer PI between intracellular membranes and participate in many cellular processes including signalling, lipid metabolism and membrane traffic. The largely uncharacterized PITP RdgBβ (PITPNC1; retinal degeneration type B β), contains a long C-terminal disordered region following its defining N-terminal PITP domain. In the present study we report that the C-terminus contains two tandem phosphorylated binding sites (Ser(274) and Ser(299)) for 14-3-3. The C-terminus also contains PEST sequences which are shielded by 14-3-3 binding. Like many proteins containing PEST sequences, the levels of RdgBβ are regulated by proteolysis. RdgBβ is degraded with a half-life of 4 h following ubiquitination via the proteasome. A mutant RdgBβ which is unable to bind 14-3-3 is degraded even faster with a half-life of 2 h. In vitro, RdgBβ is 100-fold less active than PITPα for PI transfer, and RdgBβ proteins (wild-type and a mutant that cannot bind 14-3-3) expressed in COS-7 cells or endogenous proteins from heart cytosol do not exhibit transfer activity. When cells are treated with PMA, the PITP domain of RdgBβ interacts with the integral membrane protein ATRAP (angiotensin II type I receptor-associated protein; also known as AGTRAP) causing membrane recruitment. We suggest that RdgBβ executes its function following recruitment to membranes via its PITP domain and the C-terminal end of the protein could regulate entry to the hydrophobic cavity. 相似文献

The epidermis consists of a squamous epithelium continuously replenished by committed stem cells, which can either self-renew or differentiate. We demonstrated previously that E2F genes are differentially expressed in developing epidermis (Dagnino, L., Fry, C. J., Bartley, S. M., Farnham, P., Gallie, B. L., and Phillips, R. A. (1997) Cell Growth Differ. 8, 553-563). Thus, we hypothesized that various E2F proteins likely play distinct growth regulatory roles in the undifferentiated stem cells and in terminally differentiated keratinocytes. To further understand the function of E2F genes in epidermal morphogenesis, we have examined the expression, regulation, and protein-protein interactions of E2F factors in undifferentiated cultured murine primary keratinocytes or in cells induced to differentiate with Ca(2+) or BMP-6 (bone morphogenetic protein 6). We find similar patterns of E2F regulation with both differentiating agents and demonstrate a switch in expression from E2F-1, -2, and -3 in undifferentiated, proliferating cells to E2F-5 in terminally differentiated keratinocytes. Inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation by transforming growth factor-beta1 did not enhance E2F-5 protein levels, suggesting that this response is specific to differentiation rather than reversible cell cycle withdrawal. E2F-5 up-regulation is also accompanied by formation of heteromeric nuclear complexes containing E2F5, p130, and histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1. Overexpression of E2F5 specifically inhibited DNA synthesis in undifferentiated keratinocytes in an HDAC-dependent manner, suggesting that E2F-5.p130.HDAC1 complexes are likely involved in the permanent withdrawal from the cell cycle of keratinocytes responding to differentiation stimuli. 相似文献

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of energy metabolism; it is inhibited under obese conditions and is activated by exercise and by many anti-diabetic drugs. Emerging evidence also suggests that AMPK regulates cell differentiation, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesized that AMPK regulates cell differentiation via altering β-catenin expression, which involves phosphorylation of class IIa histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5). In both C3H10T1/2 cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), AMPK activity was positively correlated with β-catenin content. Chemical inhibition of HDAC5 increased β-catenin mRNA expression. HDAC5 overexpression reduced and HDAC5 knockdown increased H3K9 acetylation and cellular β-catenin content. HDAC5 formed a complex with myocyte enhancer factor-2 to down-regulate β-catenin mRNA expression. AMPK phosphorylated HDAC5, which promoted HDAC5 exportation from the nucleus; mutation of two phosphorylation sites in HDAC5, Ser-259 and -498, abolished the regulatory role of AMPK on β-catenin expression. In conclusion, AMPK promotes β-catenin expression through phosphorylation of HDAC5, which reduces HDAC5 interaction with the β-catenin promoter via myocyte enhancer factor-2. Thus, the data indicate that AMPK regulates cell differentiation and development via cross-talk with the wingless and Int (Wnt)/β-catenin signaling pathway. 相似文献

The 14-3-3 family of proteins is expressed in a broad range of organisms and tissues. Based on data essentially obtained with tissue culture cells and yeast, 14-3-3 proteins have been implicated as potential regulators of diverse signaling pathways, in particular those involving the activity of the Raf family protein kinases. The 14-3-3 theta mouse isoform is expressed almost exclusively in testis and brain. In an effort to understand the function of 14-3-3 theta in testis, we sought to identify endogenous proteins that interact with 14-3-3 theta in spermatogenic cells. A recombinant 14-3-3 theta fusion protein was used in Far Western and GST pulldown assays. Here we report that 14-3-3 theta interacts in vivo and in vitro with 93- to 95-kDa B-Raf, originally described as specific of neural tissues and never reported in male germ cells. Moreover, in mouse spermatids, i.e., the haploid cytodifferentiating cells, a so far unidentified protein complex formed by endogenous Rap1/B-Raf/14-3-3 theta can be coimmunoprecipitated. The intracellular localization of endogenous 14-3-3 theta, B-Raf, and Rap1 was analyzed in distinct spermatogenic cell types and a peculiar codistribution of the three proteins was immunorevealed in differentiating spermatids. Together, these data demonstrate that a protein complex formed by endogenous Rap1, 93- to 95-kDa B-Raf, and 14-3-3 theta exists in vivo and the finding that this has been detected in cytodifferentiating, not dividing cells, strengthens the hypothesis for a role of Rap1/B-Raf-mediated signaling in cell morphogenesis and differentiation. 相似文献
