Endocrine cells produce large amounts of one or more peptides. The post-translational control of selective production of a single protein is often unknown. We used 3 unrelated approaches to diminish PKCepsilon in rat islets to evaluate its role in preferential glucose-mediated insulin production. Transfection with siRNA (siR-PKCepsilon) or expression of inactive PKCepsilon (PKCepsilon-KD) resulted in a significant reduction in insulin response to glucose (16.7 mmol/l). Glucose stimulation resulted in concentration of PKCepsilon in the perinuclear region, an area known to be rich in ER-Golgi systems, associated with insulin-containing structures. ss'COP1 (RACK2) is the anchoring protein for PKCepsilon. Glucose-stimulated proinsulin production was diminished by 50% in islets expressing PKCepsilon-KD, and 60% in islets expressing RACK2 binding protein (epsilonV1-2); total protein biosynthesis was not affected. In islets expressing epsilonV1-2, a chase period following glucose stimulus resulted in a reduced proinsulin conversion to mature insulin. We propose that PKCepsilon plays a specific role in mediating the glucose-signal into insulin production: binding to ss'COP1 localizes the activated enzyme to the RER where it modulates the shuttling of proinsulin to the TGN. Subsequently the enzyme may be involved in anterograde trafficking of the prohormone or in its processing within the TGN. 相似文献

In silico docking of a chemical library with the ligand-binding domain of thyroid hormone nuclear receptor-beta (TRbeta) suggested that farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), a key intermediate in cholesterol synthesis and protein farnesylation, might function as an agonist. Surprisingly, addition of FPP to cells activated TR as well as the classical steroid hormone receptors but not peroxisome proliferative-activating receptors, farnesoid X receptor, liver X receptor, or several orphan nuclear receptors the ligands of which are unknown. FPP enhanced receptor-coactivator binding in vitro and in vivo, and elevation of FPP levels in cells by squalene synthetase or farnesyl transferase inhibitors leads to activation. The FPP effect was blocked by selective receptor antagonists, and in silico docking with 143 nuclear receptor ligand-binding domain structures revealed that FPP only docked with the agonist conformation of those receptors activated by FPP. Our results suggest that certain nuclear receptors maintain a common structural feature that may reflect an action of FPP on an ancient nuclear receptor or that FPP could function as a ligand for one of the many orphan nuclear receptors the ligands of which have not yet been identified. This finding also has potential interesting implications that may, in part, explain the pleotropic effects of statins as well as certain actions of farnesylation inhibitors in cells. 相似文献
