Despite widespread use of volatile general anesthetics in millions of patients each year, the mechanisms by which they exert multiple effects on the behavior of central neurons are poorly understood. PDZ [postsynaptic density 95 (PSD-95), discs large (Dlg), and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1)] domains are ubiquitous protein interaction modules that participate in neuronal signaling. Recent studies have indicated that clinically relevant concentrations of inhaled anesthetics dose-dependently and specifically inhibit the PDZ domain-mediated protein interactions among multiprotein signaling complexes. These inhibitory effects are immediate, potent, reversible, and occur at a hydrophobic peptidebinding groove on the surface of the PDZ domain. Thus, the PDZ domain might be a new molecular target for inhalational anesthetics. 相似文献

c-Src is a tightly regulated non-receptor tyrosine kinase. We describe the C-terminus of c-Src as a ligand for a PDZ (postsynaptic density 95, PSD-95; discs large, Dlg; zonula occludens-1, ZO-1) domain. The C-terminal residue Leu of c-Src is essential for binding to a PDZ domain. Mutation of this residue does not affect the intrinsic kinase activity in vitro, but interferes with c-Src regulation in cells. As a candidate PDZ protein, we analysed AF-6, a junctional adhesion protein. The AF-6 PDZ domain restricts the number of c-Src substrates, whereas knockdown of AF-6 has the opposite effect. Binding of c-Src to the AF-6 PDZ domain interferes with phosphorylation of c-Src at Tyr527 by the C-terminal kinase, and reduces c-Src autophosphorylation at Tyr416, resulting in a moderately activated c-Src kinase. Unphosphorylated Tyr527 allows binding of c-Src to AF-6. This can be overcome by overexpression of CSK or strong activation of c-Src. c-Src is recruited by AF-6 to cell-cell contact sites, suggesting that c-Src is regulated by a PDZ protein in special cellular locations. We identified a novel type of c-Src regulation by interaction with a PDZ protein. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare lymphocyte subpopulations in the blood and lymphoid tissues of normal kittens between 1 and 90 days of age. METHODS: Lymphocyte subsets within the blood, thymus, and lymph node of 24 normal kittens were quantified by use of two-color fluorescence flow cytometry and were compared at 1, 23, 46, or 90 days after birth. RESULTS: Blood B and T lymphocytes increased over the 90-day postnatal period. The CD4+ and CD8+ sub-populations of T lymphocytes increased. However, CD8+ lymphocytes increased more than did CD4+ lymphocytes, resulting in reduced CD4-to-CD8 ratio. By 23 days of age, similar but more abrupt changes in the CD4-to-CD8 ratio occurred in the thymus and lymph nodes, coinciding with the highest thymus-to-body weight ratio and gradual increase in mature thymocytes expressing a pan-T lymphocyte marker. CONCLUSIONS: Postnatal thymopoiesis in the domestic cat favors production of mature CD8+ T lymphocytes over CD4+ T lymphocytes. This coincides with the emergence of CD8+ lymphocytes in the lymph node and precedes a more gradual increase in CD8+ cells in the blood. Therefore, the ontogeny of these effectors of cell-mediated immunity could be interrupted by infective agents that target lymphoid tissues of the neonate. 相似文献

Measles virus (MV) is a member of the genus Morbillivirus in the family Paramyxoviridae. Clinical isolates of MV use signaling lymphocyte activating molecule (SLAM) as a cellular receptor. SLAM is mainly expressed on immune cells such as immature thymocytes, activated lymphocytes and mature dendritic cells. This distribution of SLAM can account for the lymphotropism of MV. On the other hand, laboratory strains of MV use CD46 as an alternative receptor, through amino acid change(s) in the receptor binding hemagglutinin protein. Recently, several reports imply the existence of the cellular receptor(s) other than SLAM and CD46. In this review, we discuss the receptor usage of MV and its adaptation to cultured cells. 相似文献

B lymphocytes are an important cell population of the immune system. However, until recently it was not possible to transduce resting B lymphocytes with retro- or lentiviral vectors, making them unsusceptible for genetic manipulations by these vectors. Lately, we demonstrated that lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with modified measles virus (MV) glycoproteins hemagglutinin, responsible for receptor recognition, and fusion protein were able to overcome this transduction block. They use either the natural MV receptors, CD46 and signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM), for cell entry (MV-LV) or the vector particles were further modified to selectively enter via the CD20 molecule, which is exclusively expressed on B lymphocytes (CD20-LV). It has been shown previously that transduction by MV-LV does not induce B lymphocyte activation. However, if this is also true for CD20-LV is still unknown. Here, we generated a vector specific for another B lymphocyte marker, CD19, and compared its ability to transduce resting B lymphocytes with CD20-LV. The vector (CD19ds-LV) was able to stably transduce unstimulated B lymphocytes, albeit with a reduced efficiency of about 10% compared to CD20-LV, which transduced about 30% of the cells. Since CD20 as well as CD19 are closely linked to the B lymphocyte activation pathway, we investigated if engagement of CD20 or CD19 molecules by the vector particles induces activating stimuli in resting B lymphocytes. Although, activation of B lymphocytes often involves calcium influx, we did not detect elevated calcium levels. However, the activation marker CD71 was substantially up-regulated upon CD20-LV transduction and most importantly, B lymphocytes transduced with CD20-LV or CD19ds-LV entered the G1b phase of cell cycle, whereas untransduced or MV-LV transduced B lymphocytes remained in G0. Hence, CD20 and CD19 targeting vectors induce activating stimuli in resting B lymphocytes, which most likely renders them susceptible for lentiviral vector transduction. 相似文献

An important question in protein folding is whether the folding mechanism is sequence dependent and conserved for homologous proteins. In this work we compared the kinetic folding mechanism of five postsynaptic density protein-95, disc-large tumor suppressor protein, zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) domains, sharing similar topology but having different primary structures. Investigation of the different proteins under various experimental conditions revealed that the folding kinetics of each member of the PDZ family can be described by a model with two transition states separated by an intermediate. Moreover, the positions of the two transition states along the reaction coordinate (as given by their beta(T)-values) are fairly constant for the five PDZ domains. 相似文献

CD5 and CD6 are closely related lymphocyte surface receptors of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily, which show highly homologous extracellular regions but little conserved cytoplasmic tails. Both molecules are expressed on the same lymphocyte populations (thymocytes, mature T cells, and B1a cells) and share similar co-stimulatory properties on mature T cells. Although several works have been reported on the molecular associations and the signaling pathway mediated by CD5, very limited information is available for CD6 in this regard. Here we show the physical association of CD5 and CD6 at the cell membrane of lymphocytes, as well as their localization at the immunological synapse. CD5 and CD6 co-immunoprecipitate from Brij 96 but not Nonidet P-40 cell lysates, independently of both the co-expression of other lymphocyte surface receptors and the integrity of CD5 cytoplasmic region. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis, co-capping, and co-modulation experiments demonstrate the physical in vivo association of CD5 and CD6. Analysis of T cell/antigen-presenting cells conjugates shows the accumulation of both molecules at the immunological synapse. These results indicate that CD5 and CD6 are structurally and physically related receptors, which may be functionally linked to provide either similar or complementary accessory signals during T cell activation and/or differentiation. 相似文献

Tetraspanins are clustered in specific microdomains (named tetraspanin-enriched microdomains, or TERM) in the plasma membrane and regulate the functions of associated transmembrane receptors, including integrins and receptor tyrosine kinases. We have identified syntenin-1, a PDZ domain-containing protein, as a new component of TERM and show that syntenin-1 specifically interacts with the tetraspanin CD63. Detailed biochemical and heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) studies have demonstrated that the interaction is mediated by the C-terminal cytoplasmic region of the tetraspanin and the PDZ domains of syntenin-1. Upon interaction, NMR chemical shift perturbations were predominantly localized to residues around the binding pocket of PDZ1, indicating a specific mode of recognition of the cytoplasmic tail of CD63. In addition, the C terminus of syntenin-1 has a stabilizing role in the CD63-syntenin-1 association, as deletion of the last 17 amino acids abolished the interaction. The CD63-syntenin-1 complex is abundant on the plasma membrane, and the elevated expression of the wild-type syntenin-1 slows down constitutive internalization of the tetraspanin. Furthermore, internalization of CD63 was completely blocked in cells expressing a syntenin-1 mutant lacking the first 100 amino acids. Previous results have shown that CD63 is internalized via AP-2-dependent mechanisms. Hence, our data indicate that syntenin-1 can counteract the AP-2-dependent internalization and identify this tandem PDZ protein as a new regulator of endocytosis. 相似文献

Formation of an immunological synapse (IS) between APCs and T CD4(+) lymphocytes is a key event in the initiation and the termination of the cognate immune response. We have analyzed the contribution of the APC to IS formation and report the implication of the actin cytoskeleton, the signaling proteins and the lipid rafts of B lymphocytes. Recruitment of MHC class II molecules to the IS is concomitant with actin cytoskeleton-dependent B cell raft recruitment. B cell actin cytoskeleton disruption abrogates both IS formation and T cell activation, whereas protein kinase C inhibition only impairs T cell activation. Pharmacological B cell lipid raft disruption inhibited peptide-dependent T lymphocyte activation and induced peptide-independent but HLA-DR-restricted APC-T cell conjugate formation. Such peptide-independent conjugates did not retain the ability to activate T cells. Thus, B cell lipid rafts are bifunctional by regulating T cell activation and imposing peptide stringency. 相似文献

In order to study the function of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein ESAT-6 in the infection process, we searched for host proteins that interact with this secreted mycobacterial protein.
Using a yeast two-hybrid system we identified the rat syntenin-1 protein as a candidate to interact with ESAT-6. This interaction
was confirmed in vitro by protein overlay and by surface plasmon resonance using recombinant ESAT-6 and human syntenin-1, and by co-purification
analysis of the mycobacterial expressed ESAT-6 and macrophage derived syntenin-1. The interaction domains were localized by
two-hybrid studies using truncated derivatives of both proteins and by peptide spot analysis. Two domains of each protein
mediate the ESAT-6/syntenin-1 interaction. The C-terminus of ESAT-6 binds to the PDZ-domains of syntenin-1 and the N-terminus
of ESAT-6 binds to the N-terminus of syntenin-1. Thus, the host protein syntenin-1 represents a possible cellular receptor
for the mycobacterial protein ESAT-6. 相似文献

Many postsynaptic density proteins carrying postsynaptic density-95/discs large/zone occludens-1 (PDZ) domain(s) interact with glutamate receptors to control receptor dynamics and synaptic plasticity. Here we examined the expression of PDZ proteins, synapse-associated protein (SAP) 97, postsynaptic density (PSD)-95, chapsyn-110, GRIP1 and SAP102, in post-mortem brains of schizophrenic patients and control subjects, and evaluated their contribution to schizophrenic pathology. Among these PDZ proteins, SAP97 exhibited the most marked change: SAP97 protein levels were decreased to less than half that of the control levels specifically in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenic patients. In parallel, its binding partner, GluR1, similarly decreased in the same brain region. The correlation between SAP97 and GluR1 levels in control subjects was, however, altered in schizophrenic patients. SAP102 levels were also significantly reduced in the hippocampus of schizophrenic patients, but this reduction was correlated with sample storage time and post-mortem interval. There were no changes in the levels of the other PDZ proteins in any of the regions examined. In addition, neuroleptic treatment failed to mimic the SAP97 change. These findings suggest that a phenotypic loss of SAP97 is associated with the postsynaptic impairment in prefrontal excitatory circuits of schizophrenic patients. 相似文献

The highly conserved self-degradation pathway known as autophagy plays important roles in regulating T lymphocyte homeostasis. Recently, we found that T lymphocytes lacking the autophagy-related gene Atg5 or Atg7 have defective survival and contain expanded mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, whether these defects are caused by impaired autophagy or by defects in their autophagy-independent signaling capacity of Atg5 or Atg7 in T lymphocytes remains unknown. Furthermore, the function of the microtubule-associated protein L chain 3 (LC3) conjugation system in T lymphocytes remains unclear. To address these questions, we generated conditional knockout mice with specific deletion of Atg3, a ubiquitin enzyme E2-like molecule involved in the LC3 conjugation system, in T lymphocytes. Atg3-deficient T lymphocytes displayed a phenotype similar to those of Atg7- and Atg5-deficient T cells. The survival of Atg3-deficient naive CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells was defective. Furthermore, the mitochondria and ER were expanded in Atg3-deficient T cells. Interestingly, mitochondrial and ER content did not change instantly upon inducible deletion of Atg3 in mature T lymphocytes in vitro. Instead, it began to expand 10 d after inducible deletion of Atg3 in mature T lymphocytes, and mitochondrial content continued to increase on day 18. Cell death began to increase 24 d after inducible deletion of Atg3. These data show that the LC3 conjugation system is essential for autophagy in T lymphocytes. Our data suggest that autophagy promotes T lymphocyte survival by regulating organelle homeostasis and that the decreased survival of autophagy-deficient T cells is due to the temporal accumulation of these autophagy-related defects. 相似文献

Functional characteristics of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (CD54) expressed on cytotoxic human blood lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have shown that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (CD54) positive cells are mainly responsible for the natural cytotoxic function of human blood lymphocytes. The evidences were the inhibition of cytotoxicity by anti-ICAM-1 (LB-2) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and the loss of lytic activity after removal of the ICAM-1+ cells. In addition, the cytotoxic potential of the separated ICAM-1- lymphocyte population after activation appeared in parallel with the expression of this molecule. The ICAM-1+ lymphocytes lysed both LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18 or Leu-CAMa) positive and negative cell lines, and pretreatment of the effectors with the LB-2 mAb also inhibited the lysis of LFA-1- targets. The results point to a yet unrecognized role of ICAM-1 on the lymphocytes. Kinetics experiments suggested that pretreatment of lymphocytes with alpha-ICAM-1 (LB-2) mAb did not inhibit the promptly established lytic interactions but influenced later events, recycling and/or recruitment of effectors. It is possible that the cytotoxic potential is regulated by contacts between the members of the lymphocyte population and that these events occur via their ICAM-1 and LFA-1. Exposure of lymphocytes to NK-sensitive targets for 16 hr elevated their cytotoxic potential. The function of activated lymphocytes was not inhibited by the LB-2 mAb. 相似文献

Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) is a type I transmembrane protein member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. Involved in important pathophysiological processes such as the immune response, cancer metastasis, and neuronal development, ALCAM undergoes both homotypic interactions with other ALCAM molecules and heterotypic interactions with the surface receptor CD6 expressed at the T cell surface. Despite biochemical and biophysical evidence of a dynamic association between ALCAM and the actin cytoskeleton, no detailed information is available about how this association occurs at the molecular level. Here, we exploit a combination of complementary microscopy techniques, including FRET detected by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy and single-cell force spectroscopy, and we demonstrate the existence of a preformed ligand-independent supramolecular complex where ALCAM stably interacts with actin by binding to syntenin-1 and ezrin. Interaction with the ligand CD6 further enhances these multiple interactions. Altogether, our results propose a novel biophysical framework to understand the stabilizing role of the ALCAM supramolecular complex engaged to CD6 during dendritic cell-T cell interactions and provide novel information on the molecular players involved in the formation and signaling of the immunological synapse at the dendritic cell side. 相似文献

Exosomes are secreted vesicles of endosomal origin involved in signaling processes. We recently showed that the syndecan heparan sulfate proteoglycans control the biogenesis of exosomes through their interaction with syntenin-1 and the endosomal-sorting complex required for transport accessory component ALIX. Here we investigated the role of heparanase, the only mammalian enzyme able to cleave heparan sulfate internally, in the syndecan-syntenin-ALIX exosome biogenesis pathway. We show that heparanase stimulates the exosomal secretion of syntenin-1, syndecan and certain other exosomal cargo, such as CD63, in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, exosomal CD9, CD81 and flotillin-1 are not affected. Conversely, reduction of endogenous heparanase reduces the secretion of syntenin-1-containing exosomes. The ability of heparanase to stimulate exosome production depends on syntenin-1 and ALIX. Syndecans, but not glypicans, support exosome biogenesis in heparanase-exposed cells. Finally, heparanase stimulates intraluminal budding of syndecan and syntenin-1 in endosomes, depending on the syntenin-ALIX interaction. Taken together, our findings identify heparanase as a modulator of the syndecan-syntenin-ALIX pathway, fostering endosomal membrane budding and the biogenesis of exosomes by trimming the heparan sulfate chains on syndecans. In addition, our data suggest that this mechanism controls the selection of specific cargo to exosomes. 相似文献

Numerous epidemiological data indicate that vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling induced by its ligand or active metabolite 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α,25(OH)2D3) has anti-cancer activity in several colon cancers. 1α,25(OH)2D3 induces the epithelial differentiation of SW480 colon cancer cells expressing VDR (SW480-ADH) by upregulating E-cadherin expression; however, its precise mechanism remains unknown. We found that phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type II beta (PIPKIIβ) but not PIPKIIα is required for VDR-mediated E-cadherin induction in SW480-ADH cells. The syntenin-2 postsynaptic density protein/disc large/zona occludens (PDZ) domain and pleckstrin homology domain of phospholipase C-delta1 (PLCδ1 PHD) possess high affinity for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) mainly localized to the nucleus and plasma membrane, respectively. The expression of syntenin-2 PDZ but not PLCδ1 PHD inhibited 1α,25(OH)2D3-induced E-cadherin upregulation, suggesting that nuclear PI(4,5)P2 production mediates E-cadherin expression through PIPKIIβ in a VDR-dependent manner. PIPKIIβ is also involved in the suppression of the cell motility induced by 1α,25(OH)2D3. These results indicate that PIPKIIβ-mediated PI(4,5)P2 signaling is important for E-cadherin upregulation and inhibition of cellular motility induced by VDR activation. 相似文献

In Caenorhabditis elegans, three PDZ domain proteins, Lin-2, Lin-7, and Lin-10, are necessary for the proper targeting of the Let-23 growth factor receptor to the basolateral surface of epithelial cells. It has been demonstrated that homologues of Lin-2, Lin-7, and Lin-10 form a heterotrimeric complex in mammalian brain. Using Far Western overlay assay, we have identified additional proteins that can bind to the amino terminus of mLin-7 and cloned the genes encoding these proteins using bacterial expression cloning. We call these proteins Pals, for proteins associated with Lin-7. These proteins, which include mammalian Lin-2, contain a conserved mLin-7 binding domain in addition to guanylate kinase, PDZ (postsynaptic density 95/discs large/zona occludens-1), and Src homology 3 domains. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we have identified the conserved residues among these proteins crucial for mLin-7 binding. Two of these proteins, Pals1 and Pals2, are newly described. Pals1 consists of 675 amino acids and maps to mouse chromosome 12. Pals2 was found to exist in two splice forms of 539 and 553 amino acids and maps to mouse chromosome 6. Like mLin-2, Pals1 and Pals2 localize to the lateral membrane in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. Pals proteins represent a new subfamily of membrane-associated guanylate kinases that allow for multiple targeting complexes containing mLin-7. 相似文献

Invariant NKT cells play a critical role in controlling the strength and character of adaptive immune responses. We have previously reported deficiencies in the numbers and function of NKT cells in the NOD mouse strain, which is a well-validated model of type 1 diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus. Genetic control of thymic NKT cell numbers was mapped to two linkage regions: Nkt1 on distal chromosome 1 and Nkt2 on chromosome 2. In this study, we report the production and characterization of a NOD.Nkrp1(b).Nkt1(b) congenic mouse strain, apply microarray expression analyses to limit candidate genes within the 95% confidence region, identify Slamf1 (encoding signaling lymphocyte activation molecule) and Slamf6 (encoding Ly108) as potential candidates, and demonstrate retarded signaling lymphocyte activation molecule expression during T cell development of NOD mice, resulting in reduced expression at the CD4(+)CD8(+) stage, which is consistent with decreased NKT cell production and deranged tolerance induction in NOD mice. 相似文献
