The role of the N terminus and transmembrane domain of TRPM8 in channel localization and tetramerization 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are a family of cation channels involved in diverse cellular functions. They are composed of a transmembrane domain of six putative transmembrane segments flanked by large N- and C-terminal cytoplasmic domains. The melastatin subfamily (TRPM) channels have N-terminal domains of approximately 700 amino acids with four regions of shared homology and C-terminal domains containing the conserved TRP domain followed by a coiled-coil region. Here we investigated the effects of N- and C-terminal deletions on the cold and menthol receptor, TRPM8, expressed heterologously in Sf21 insect cells. Patch-clamp electrophysiology was used to study channel activity and revealed that only deletion of the first 39 amino acids was tolerated by the channel. Further N-terminal truncation or any C-terminal deletions prevented proper TRPM8 function. Confocal microscopy with immunofluorescence revealed that amino acids 40-86 are required for localization to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, analysis of deletion mutant oligomerization shows that the transmembrane domain is sufficient for TPRM8 assembly into tetramers. TRPM8 channels with C-terminal deletions tetramerize and localize properly but are inactive, indicating that although not essential for tetramerization and localization, the C terminus is critical for proper function of the channel sensor and/or gate. 相似文献

It is well known that the mutation of TRP-ML1 (transient receptor potential-mucolipin-1) causes mucolipidosis IV, a lysosomal storage disease. Given that lysosomal nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP)-Ca(2+) release channel activity is associated with TRP-ML1, the present study was designed to test the hypothesis that NAADP regulates lysosome function via activation of TRP-ML1 channel activity. Using lysosomal preparations from wild-type (TRP-ML1(+/+)) human fibroblasts, channel reconstitution experiments demonstrated that NAADP (0.01-1.0 μM) produced a concentration-dependent increase in TRP-ML1 channel activity. This NAADP-induced activation of TRP-ML1 channels could not be observed in lysosomes from TRP-ML1(-/-) cells, but was restored by introducing a TRP-ML1 transgene into these cells. Microscopic Ca(2+) fluorescence imaging showed that NAADP significantly increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration to 302.4 ± 74.28 nM (vs. 180 ± 44.13 nM of the basal) in TRP-ML1(+/+) cells, but it had no effect in TRP-ML1(-/-) cells. If a TRP-ML1 gene was transfected into TRP-ML1(-/-) cells, the Ca(2+) response to NAADP was restored to the level comparable to TRP-ML1(+/+) cells. Functionally, confocal microscopy revealed that NAADP significantly enhanced the dynamic interaction of endosomes and lysosomes and the lipid delivery to lysosomes in TRP-ML1(+/+) cells. This functional action of NAADP was abolished in TRP-ML1(-/-) cells, but restored after TRP-ML1 gene was rescued in these cells. Our results suggest that NAADP increases lysosomal TRP-ML1 channel activity to release Ca(2+), which promotes the interaction of endosomes and lysosomes and thereby regulates lipid transport to lysosomes. Failure of NAADP-TRP-ML1 signaling may be one of the important mechanisms resulting in intracellular lipid trafficking disorder and consequent mucolipidosis. 相似文献

Mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV) is caused by mutations in the ion channel mucolipin 1 (TRP-ML1). MLIV is typified by accumulation of lipids and membranous materials in intracellular organelles, which was hypothesized to be caused by the altered membrane fusion and fission events. How mutations in TRP-ML1 lead to aberrant lipolysis is not known. Here we present evidence that MLIV is a metabolic disorder that is not associated with aberrant membrane fusion/fission events. Thus, measurement of lysosomal pH revealed that the lysosomes in TRP-ML1(-/-) cells obtained from the patients with MLIV are over-acidified. TRP-ML1 can function as a H(+) channel, and the increased lysosomal acidification in TRP-ML1(-/-) cells is likely caused by the loss of TRP-ML1-mediated H(+) leak. Measurement of lipase activity using several substrates revealed a marked reduction in lipid hydrolysis in TRP-ML1(-/-) cells, which was rescued by the expression of TRP-ML1. Cell fractionation indicated specific loss of acidic lipase activity in TRP-ML1(-/-) cells. Furthermore, dissipation of the acidic lysosomal pH of TRP-ML1(-/-) cells by nigericin or chloroquine reversed the lysosomal storage disease phenotype. These findings provide a new mechanism to account for the pathogenesis of MLIV. 相似文献

MAGI-1 is a membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) protein present at adherent and tight junctions, where it acts as a structural and signaling scaffold. During apoptosis, MAGI-1 is cleaved by caspases at Asp761 into N- and C-terminal cleavage products, allowing further dismantling of the cell junctions, one of the key features of apoptosis. Here, we investigated the cellular distribution and possible proapototic role of MAGI-1 caspase cleavage products. Full-length MAGI-1 exhibited submembrane localization, while the N-terminal caspase cleavage product of MAGI-1 is translocated to the cytosol and the C-terminal caspase cleavage product accumulates in the nucleus. When overexpressed in MDCK cells, both N- and C-terminal MAGI-1 caspase cleavage products exhibited minor proapoptotic activity, although their role in apoptosis is probably more passive. 相似文献

The coronavirus Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) employs polyprotein processing as a strategy to express its gene products. Previously we identified the first cleavage event as proteolysis at the Gly(673)-Gly(674) dipeptide bond mediated by the first papain-like proteinase domain (PLPD-1) to release an 87-kDa mature protein. In this report, we demonstrate a novel cleavage activity of PLPD-1. Expression, deletion, and mutagenesis studies showed that the product encoded between nucleotides 2548 and 8865 was further cleaved by PLPD-1 at the Gly(2265)-Gly(2266) dipeptide bond to release an N-terminal 195-kDa and a C-terminal 41-kDa cleavage product. Characterization of the cleavage activity revealed that the proteinase is active on this scissile bond when expressed in vitro in rabbit reticulocyte lysates and can act on the same substrate in trans when expressed in intact cells. Both the N- and C-terminal cleavage products were detected in virus-infected cells and were found to be physically associated. Glycosidase digestion and site-directed mutagenesis studies of the 41-kDa protein demonstrated that it is modified by N-linked glycosylation at the Asn(2313) residue encoded by nucleotides 7465 to 7467. By using a region-specific antiserum raised against the IBV sequence encoded by nucleotides 8865 to 9786, we also demonstrated that a 33-kDa protein, representing the 3C-like proteinase (3CLP), was specifically immunoprecipitated from the virus-infected cells. Site-directed mutagenesis and expression studies showed that a previously predicted cleavage site (Q(2583)-G(2584)) located within the 41-kDa protein-encoding region was not utilized by 3CLP, supporting the conclusion that the 41-kDa protein is a mature viral product. 相似文献

Zinc ion effects on individual Ssp DnaE intein splicing steps: regulating pathway progression 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Use of the naturally split, self-splicing Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 DnaE intein permits separate purification of the N- and C-terminal intein domains. Otherwise spontaneous intein-mediated reactions can therefore be controlled in vitro, allowing detailed study of intein kinetics. Incubation of the Ssp DnaE intein with ZnCl(2) inhibited trans splicing, hydrolysis-mediated N-terminal trans cleavage, and C-terminal trans cleavage reactions. Maximum inhibition of the splicing reaction was achieved at equal molar concentrations of ZnCl(2) and intein domains, suggesting a 1:1 metal ion:intein binding stoichiometry. Mutation of the (+)1 cysteine residue to valine (C(+)1V) alleviated the inhibitory effects of ZnCl(2). Valine substitution in the absence of ZnCl(2) blocked trans splicing and decreased C-terminal cleavage kinetics in a manner similar to that of the native (+)1 cysteine in the presence of ZnCl(2). These data are consistent with Zn(2+)-mediated inhibition of the Ssp DnaE intein via chelation of the (+)1 cysteine residue. N-Terminal trans cleavage can occur via both spontaneous hydrolysis and nucleophilic (e.g., DTT) attack. Comparative examination of N-terminal cleavage rates using amino acid substitution (C(+)1V) and Zn(2+)-mediated inhibition permitted the maximum contribution of hydrolysis to overall N-terminal cleavage kinetics to be determined. Stable intermediates consisting of the associated intein domains were detected by PAGE and provided evidence of a rapid C-terminal cleavage step. Acute control of the C-terminal reaction was achieved by the rapid reversal of Zn(2+)-mediated inhibition by EDTA. By inhibiting both the splicing pathway and spontaneous hydrolysis with Zn(2+), reactants can be diverted from the trans splicing to the trans cleavage pathway where DTT and EDTA can regulate N- and C-terminal cleavage, respectively. 相似文献

Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are sensory-related cation channels. TRPV subfamily responds to vanilloids, generating a Ca(2+) current. TRPV1, a thermal-sensitive non-selective ion channel, possesses six transmembrane helices and the intracellular N- and C-terminal domains. The latter contains the PIP(2) and calmodulin binding sites, the TRP domain and a temperature-responding flexible region. Although the function of C-TRPV1 is known, there are no experimental reports on its structural features. Here, we describe the conformational features of C-TRVP1, by using spectroscopic and biophysical approaches. Our results show that C-TRVP1 is an oligomeric protein, which shows features of natively unfolded proteins. 相似文献

Cleavage of TRPM7 releases the kinase domain from the ion channel and regulates its participation in Fas-induced apoptosis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7) is a channel protein that also contains a regulatory serine-threonine kinase domain. Here, we find that Trpm7-/- T cells are deficient in Fas-receptor-induced apoptosis and that TRPM7 channel activity participates in the apoptotic process and is regulated by caspase-dependent cleavage. This function of TRPM7 is dependent on its function as a channel, but not as a kinase. TRPM7 is cleaved by caspases at D1510, disassociating the carboxy-terminal kinase domain from the pore without disrupting the phosphotransferase activity of the released kinase but substantially increasing TRPM7 ion channel activity. Furthermore, we show that TRPM7 regulates endocytic compartmentalization of the Fas receptor after receptor stimulation, an important process for apoptotic signaling through Fas receptors. These findings raise the possibility that other members of the TRP channel superfamily are also regulated by caspase-mediated cleavage, with wide-ranging implications for cell death and differentiation. 相似文献

Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is capable of inducing global Ca2+ increases via a lysosome-associated mechanism, but the mechanism mediating NAADP-induced intracellular Ca2+ release remains unclear. The present study reconstituted and characterized a lysosomal NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channel using purified lysosomes from rat liver. Furthermore, the identity of lysosomal NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channels was also investigated. It was found that NAADP activates lysosomal Ca2+ release channels at concentrations of 1 nM to 1 microM, but this activating effect of NAADP was significantly reduced when the concentrations used increased to 10 or 100 microM. Either activators or blockers of Ca2+ release channels on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) had no effect on the activity of these NAADP-activated Ca2+ release channels. Interestingly, the activity of this lysosomal NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channel increased when the pH in cis solution decreased, but it could not be inhibited by a lysosomal H+-ATPase antagonist, bafilomycin A1. However, the activity of this channel was significantly inhibited by plasma membrane L-type Ca2+ channel blockers such as verapamil, diltiazem, and nifedipine, or the nonselective Ca2+,Na+ channel blocker, amiloride. In addition, blockade of TRP-ML1 (transient receptor potential-mucolipin 1) protein by anti-TRP-ML1 antibody markedly attenuated NAADP-induced activation of these lysosomal Ca2+ channels. These results for the first time provide direct evidence that a NAADP-sensitive Ca2+ release channel is present in the lysosome of native liver cells and that this channel is associated with TRP-ML1, which is different from ER/SR Ca2+ release channels. 相似文献

In Drosophila photoreceptors the transient receptor potential-like (TRPL), but not the TRP channels undergo light-dependent translocation between the rhabdomere and cell body. Here we studied which of the TRPL channel segments are essential for translocation and why the TRP channels are required for inducing TRPL translocation. We generated transgenic flies expressing chimeric TRP and TRPL proteins that formed functional light-activated channels. Translocation was induced only in chimera containing both the N- and C-terminal segments of TRPL. Using an inactive trp mutation and overexpressing the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger revealed that the essential function of the TRP channels in TRPL translocation is to enhance Ca(2+)-influx. These results indicate that motifs present at both the N and C termini as well as sustained Ca(2+) entry are required for proper channel translocation. 相似文献

In vitro effects of dentin matrix protein-1 on hydroxyapatite formation provide insights into in vivo functions 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP1) is a mineralized tissue matrix protein synthesized by osteoblasts, hypertrophic chondrocytes, and ameloblasts as well as odontoblasts. DMP1 is believed to have multiple in vivo functions, acting both as a signaling molecule and a regulator of biomineralization. Using a cell-free system in vitro, we evaluated the action of DMP1 in the regulation of hydroxylapatite (HA) formation and crystal growth. The non-phosphorylated recombinant protein acted as an HA nucleator, increasing the amount of mineral formed in a gelatin gel HA growth system relative to protein-free controls. The recombinant protein phosphorylated in vitro had no detectable effect on HA formation and growth. In contrast, phosphorylated bovine DMP1 expressed in marrow stromal cells with an adenovirus vector containing 29.7 phosphates/mol was an effective inhibitor of HA formation and growth. The native full-length protein appeared to be absent or present in only small amounts in the extracellular matrix of bones and teeth. However, two highly phosphorylated fragments representing the N- and C-terminal portions of DMP1 have been identified, apparently arising from proteolytic cleavage of four X-Asp bonds. The highly phosphorylated C-terminal 57-kDa fragment (containing 42 phosphates/mol), like the non-phosphorylated DMP1, was an HA nucleator. These data suggest that, in its native form, DMP1 inhibits mineralization, but when cleaved or dephosphorylated, it initiates mineralization. These in vitro data are consistent with the findings in the DMP1 knockout mouse. 相似文献

A short interdomain sequence between the N- and C-terminal domains of beta-conglycinin, the major 7S seed storage protein of soybean, was selected as a target for insertion of amino acid residues specifically cleaved by an asparaginyl endopeptidase that processes globulins into acidic and basic chains. Modified beta-conglycinin subunits containing the proteolytic cleavage site self-assembled into trimers in vitro at an efficiency similar to that of the unmodified subunit. In contrast to the absence of cleavage of the unmodified subunits, however, the modified beta-conglycinin trimers were processed by purified soybean asparaginyl endopeptidase into two polypeptides, each the size expected for the beta-conglycinin N- and C-terminal domains, respectively. The cleavage did not alter the assembly of mutant beta-conglycinins and the cleaved mutant trimers remained stable to further proteolytic attack. To examine the possibility of coassembly between the cleaved 11S and 7S subunits, in vitro processed mutant beta-conglycinin subunits were mixed with native dissociated 11S globulin preparations. Reassembly at a high ionic condition did not induce the 7S subunits to interact with 11S subunits to form hexameric complexes. Thus, cleavage of 7S globulin subunits into acidic and basic domains may not be sufficient for hexamer assembly to occur. Biotechnological implications of the engineered proteins are discussed. 相似文献

Prothyrotropin-releasing hormone (pro-TRH) is initially cleaved by the prohormone convertase-1/3 (PC1/3) in the trans-Golgi network generating N- and C-terminal intermediate forms that are then packed into secretory vesicles. However, it is not known whether these peptides are differentially sorted within the secretory pathway. This is of key importance because the processing products of several prohormones fulfill different biological functions. Using AtT20 cells stably transfected with prepro-TRH cDNA, we found that two specific N- and C-terminal peptides were located in different vesicles. Furthermore, the C-terminal pro-TRH-derived peptides were more efficiently released in response to KCl and norepinephrine, a natural secretagogue of TRH. Similar sorting and secretion of N- and C-terminal peptides occurs in vivo. When we blocked the initial proteolytic processing by a mutagenic approach, the differential sorting and secretion of these peptides were prevented. In summary, our data show that pro-TRH-derived peptides are differentially sorted within the secretory pathway and that the initial cleavage in the trans-Golgi network is key to this process. This could be a common mechanism used by neuroendocrine cells to regulate independently the secretion of different bioactive peptides derived from the same gene product. 相似文献

Acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1) is a H+-gated channel of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC)/degenerin family. ASIC1 is expressed mostly in the central and peripheral nervous system neurons. ENaC and ASIC function is regulated by several serine proteases. The type II transmembrane serine protease matriptase activates the prototypical αβγENaC channel, but we found that matriptase is expressed in glioma cells and its expression is higher in glioma compared with normal astrocytes. Therefore, the goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that matriptase regulates ASIC1 function. Matriptase decreased the acid-activated ASIC1 current as measured by two-electrode voltage clamp in Xenopus oocytes and cleaved ASIC1 expressed in oocytes or CHO K1 cells. Inactive S805A matriptase had no effect on either the current or the cleavage of ASIC1. The effect of matriptase on ASIC1 was specific, because it did not affect the function of ASIC2 and no matriptase-specific ASIC2 fragments were detected in oocytes or in CHO cells. Three matriptase recognition sites were identified in ASIC1 (Arg-145, Lys-185, and Lys-384). Site-directed mutagenesis of these sites prevented matriptase cleavage of ASIC1. Our results show that matriptase is expressed in glioma cells and that matriptase specifically cleaves ASIC1 in heterologous expression systems. 相似文献

Calpains are proteolytic enzymes that modulate cellular function through cleavage of targets, thereby modifying their actions. An important role is emerging for calpains in regulating inflammation and immune responses, although specific mechanisms by which this occurs have not been clearly defined. In this study, we identify a novel target of calpain, selenoprotein K (SelK), which is an endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein important for Ca(2+) flux in immune cells. Calpain-mediated cleavage of SelK was detected in myeloid cells (macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells) but not in lymphoid cells (B and T cells). Both m- and μ-calpain were capable of cleaving immunoprecipitated SelK, but m-calpain was the predominant isoform expressed in mouse immune cells. Consistent with these results, specific inhibitors were used to show that only m-calpain cleaved SelK in macrophages. The cleavage site in SelK was identified between Arg(81) and Gly(82) and the resulting truncated SelK was shown to lack selenocysteine, the amino acid that defines selenoproteins. Resting macrophages predominantly expressed cleaved SelK and, when activated through different Toll-like receptors (TLRs), SelK cleavage was inhibited. We found that decreased calpain cleavage was due to TLR-induced up-regulation of the endogenous inhibitor, calpastatin. TLR-induced calpastatin expression not only inhibited SelK cleavage, but cleavage of another calpain target, talin. Moreover, the expression of the calpain isoforms and calpastatin in macrophages were different from T and B cells. Overall, our findings identify SelK as a novel calpain target and reveal dynamic changes in the calpain/calpastatin system during TLR-induced activation of macrophages. 相似文献

CLC chloride channels are a family of channel proteins mediating chloride transport across the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes. The single yeast CLC protein Gef1p is localized to the Golgi and endosomal system. Investigating epitope-tagged variants of Gef1p, we found that the channel is proteolytically processed in the secretory pathway. Proteolytic cleavage occurs in the first extracellular loop of the protein at residues KR136/137 and is carried out by the Kex2p protease. Fragments mimicking the N- and C-terminal products of the cleavage reaction are non-functional when expressed alone. However, functional channels can assemble when the two fragments are co-expressed. 相似文献

We have defined the homotypic interactions of fibrillin-1 to obtain new insights into microfibril assembly. Dose-dependent saturable high affinity binding was demonstrated between N-terminal fragments, between furin processed C-terminal fragments, and between these N- and C-terminal fragments. The N terminus also interacted with a downstream fragment. A post-furin cleavage site C-terminal sequence also interacted with the N terminus, with itself and with the furin-processed fragment. No other homotypic fibrillin-1 interactions were detected. Some terminal homotypic interactions were inhibited by other terminal sequences, and were strongly calcium-dependent. Treatment of an N-terminal fragment with N-ethylmaleimide reduced homotypic binding. Microfibril-associated glycoprotein-1 inhibited N- to C-terminal interactions but not homotypic N-terminal interactions. These fibrillin-1 interactions are likely to regulate pericellular fibrillin-1 microfibril assembly. 相似文献

We investigated which transient receptor potential (TRP) channel is responsible for the nonselective cation channel (NSCC) activated by carbachol (CCh) in murine stomach with RT-PCR and the electrophysiological method. All seven types of TRP mRNA were detected in murine stomach with RT-PCR. When each TRP channel was expressed, the current-voltage relationship of mTRP5 was most similar to that recorded in murine gastric myocytes. mTRP5 showed a conductance order of Cs(+) > K(+) > Na(+), similar to that in the murine stomach. With 0.2 mM GTPgammaS in the pipette solution, the current was activated transiently in both NSCC in the murine stomach and the expressed mTRP5. Both NSCC activated by CCh in murine stomach and mTRP5 were inhibited by intracellularly applied anti-G(q/11) antibody, PLC inhibitor U-73122, IICR inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate, and nonspecific cation channel blockers La(3+) and flufenamate. There were two other unique properties. Both the native NSCC and mTRP5 were activated by 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol. Without the activation of NSCC by CCh, the NSCC in murine stomach was constitutively active like mTRP5. From the above results, we suggest that mTRP5 might be a candidate for the NSCC activated by ACh or CCh in murine stomach. 相似文献
