Neutrophils are blood cells which respond to chemotactic stimuli and phagocytize invading microorganisms. The activation of oriented locomotion, the formation of pseudopods, and the production and secretion of factors toxic to the endycytized organisms all require the transmission and amplification of external stimuli by the neutrophil plasma membrane. Ca2+ mobilization, the transient elevation of cyclic AMP, protein phosphorylation and lipid turnover may all be involved in transmembrane signalling and the modulation of neutrophil functions. 相似文献

We investigated the requirement for N-formyl peptide receptor-mediated transmembrane signalling in transfected mouse fibroblasts that express the receptor. Stably transfected cells displayed specific binding for N-formyl-Met-Leu-[3H]Phe with a dissociation constant of 3 nM. The cells responded to ligand stimulation with mobilization of calcium from intracellular stores. Calcium mobilization was ligand dose-dependent (EC50 = 3 nM fMet-Leu-Phe) and could be inhibited by pertussis toxin treatment. These results provide the first demonstration that expression of the single-chain N-formyl peptide receptor in mouse fibroblasts is sufficient for mediating ligand-induced early transmembrane signalling events, which do not appear to require other neutrophil-specific cellular components. 相似文献

Depending on the stage of development, a growth factor can mediate cell proliferation, survival or differentiation. The interaction of cell-surface integrins with extracellular matrix ligands can regulate growth factor responses and thus may influence the effect mediated by the growth factor. Here we show, by using mice lacking the alpha(6) integrin receptor for laminins, that myelin-forming oligodendrocytes activate an integrin-regulated switch in survival signalling when they contact axonal laminins. This switch alters survival signalling mediated by neuregulin from dependence on the phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) pathway to dependence on the mitogen-activated kinase pathway. The consequent enhanced survival provides a mechanism for target-dependent selection during development of the central nervous system. This integrin-regulated switch reverses the capacity of neuregulin to inhibit the differentiation of precursors, thereby explaining how neuregulin subsequently promotes differentiation and survival in myelinating oligodendrocytes. Our results provide a general mechanism by which growth factors can exert apparently contradictory effects at different stages of development in individual cell lineages. 相似文献

The urokinase‐type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a non‐integrin vitronectin (VN) cell adhesion receptor linked to the plasma membrane by a glycolipid anchor. Through structure–function analyses of uPAR, VN and integrins, we document that uPAR‐mediated cell adhesion to VN triggers a novel type of integrin signalling that is independent of integrin–matrix engagement. The signalling is fully active on VN mutants deficient in integrin binding site and is also efficiently transduced by integrins deficient in ligand binding. Although integrin ligation is dispensable, signalling is crucially dependent upon an active conformation of the integrin and its association with intracellular adaptors such as talin. This non‐canonical integrin signalling is not restricted to uPAR as it poses no structural constraints to the receptor mediating cell attachment. In contrast to canonical integrin signalling, where integrins form direct mechanical links between the ECM and the cytoskeleton, the molecular mechanism enabling the crosstalk between non‐integrin adhesion receptors and integrins is dependent upon membrane tension. This suggests that for this type of signalling, the membrane represents a critical component of the molecular clutch. 相似文献

Transmembrane α-helices play a key role in many receptors, transmitting a signal from one side to the other of the lipid bilayer membrane. Bacterial chemoreceptors are one of the best studied such systems, with a wealth of biophysical and mutational data indicating a key role for the TM2 helix in signalling. In particular, aromatic (Trp and Tyr) and basic (Arg) residues help to lock α-helices into a membrane. Mutants in TM2 of E. coli Tar and related chemoreceptors involving these residues implicate changes in helix location and/or orientation in signalling. We have investigated the detailed structural basis of this via high throughput coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) of Tar TM2 and its mutants in lipid bilayers. We focus on the position (shift) and orientation (tilt, rotation) of TM2 relative to the bilayer and how these are perturbed in mutants relative to the wildtype. The simulations reveal a clear correlation between small (ca. 1.5 Å) shift in position of TM2 along the bilayer normal and downstream changes in signalling activity. Weaker correlations are seen with helix tilt, and little/none between signalling and helix twist. This analysis of relatively subtle changes was only possible because the high throughput simulation method allowed us to run large (n = 100) ensembles for substantial numbers of different helix sequences, amounting to ca. 2000 simulations in total. Overall, this analysis supports a swinging-piston model of transmembrane signalling by Tar and related chemoreceptors. 相似文献

Transmembrane signal transduction by the Escherichia coli osmotic sensor, EnvZ: intermolecular complementation of transmembrane signalling 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:2
Summary
The Escherichia coli regulatory proteins, EnvZ and OmpR, are crucially involved in expression of the outer membrane proteins OmpF/OmpC in response to the medium osmolarity. The EnvZ protein is presumably a membrane-located osmotic sensor (or signal transducer), which exhibits both kinase and phosphatase activities specific for the OmpR protein. To examine the functional importance of the membrane-spanning segments (named TM1 and TM2) of EnvZ molecules in transmembrane signalling, a set of EnvZ mutants, each having amino acid substitutions within the membrane-spanning regions, was characterized in terms of both their in vivo phenotype and in vitro catalytic activities. One of them, characterized further, has an amino acid change (Pro-41 to Ser or Leu) In TM1, and appeared to be defective in its phosphatase activity but not in its kinase activity. This EnvZ mutant conferred a phenotype of OmpF− /OmpC-constitutive. For this EnvZ(P41S or P41L) mutant, a set of intragenic suppressors, each exhibiting a wild-type phenotype of OmpF+ /OmpC+ , was isolated. These suppresor mutants were revealed to have an additional amino acid change within either TM1 or TM2. Furthermore, they exhibited restored phosphatase activity (i.e., both kinase+ and phosphatase+ activities). It was further demonstrated that one of the suppressors, EnvZ(Arg-180 to Trp in TM2), was able to suppress the defects in both the in vivo phenotype and the in vitro catalytic activities caused by EnvZ(P41S), through intermolecular complementation. These results are best interpreted as meaning that an intimate intermolecular interaction between the membrane–spanning segments of EnvZ is crucial for transmembrane signalling per se in response to an external osmotic stimulus. 相似文献

Transmembrane signalling by insulin via an insulin receptor mutated at tyrosines 1158, 1162, and 1163 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In order to study the role of tyrosine autophosphorylation in insulin receptor signalling, we investigated a mutant human insulin receptor whereby the three major tyrosine autophosphorylation sites at positions 1158, 1162, and 1163 in the receptor beta-subunit were mutated to phenylalanines. When these mutant receptors were expressed in HTC rat hepatoma cells, there was no enhanced beta-subunit autophosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activity. In these cells there was enhanced insulin stimulation of [3H]AIB uptake and [3H]thymidine incorporation when compared to wild type HTC cells. The present study suggests therefore that the presence of the major insulin autophosphorylation sites is not a requirement for insulin stimulation of amino acid transport and mitogenesis. 相似文献

Transmembrane signalling by the chimeric chemosensory receptors of Escherichia coli Tsr and Tar with heterologous membrane-spanning regions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The serine and aspartate chemosensory receptors (Tsr and Tar) of Escherichia coli have two membrane-spanning regions TM1 and TM2. To investigate their roles in transmembrane signalling, we constructed two chimeric receptors from Tsr and Tar with heterologous combinations of TM1 and TM2: the N-terminus of one receptor, including TM1 and the periplasmic domain, was fused to the C-terminus of the other, beginning with TM2. Both of the chimeric receptor genes rescued the chemotactic defect of a receptorless E. coli strain, indicating that the chimeric receptors are functional. Their apparent affinities for the specific ligands were the same as those of Tsr or Tar. Therefore, as far as transmembrane signalling abilities are concerned, the TW2 regions of Tsr and Tar are interchangeable, suggesting that sequence-specific interaction between TM1 and TM2 may not be required for the signal transmission across the membrane. The cells expressing either of the chimeric receptors, however, showed ‘smooth’, biased, basal swimming patterns. Moreover, they adapted quickly after stimulation with the repellent glycerol. This rapid adaptation was observed even in the methyltransferase-defective strain. Therefore, exchange of TM2 might impose structural constraints on the chimeric receptors that stabilize conformations which elicit smooth swimming. 相似文献

WW domain binding protein 1‐like (WBP1L), also known as outcome predictor of acute leukaemia 1 (OPAL1), is a transmembrane adaptor protein, expression of which correlates with ETV6‐RUNX1 (t(12;21)(p13;q22)) translocation and favourable prognosis in childhood leukaemia. It has a broad expression pattern in haematopoietic and in non‐haematopoietic cells. However, its physiological function has been unknown. Here, we show that WBP1L negatively regulates signalling through a critical chemokine receptor CXCR4 in multiple leucocyte subsets and cell lines. We also show that WBP1L interacts with NEDD4‐family ubiquitin ligases and regulates CXCR4 ubiquitination and expression. Moreover, analysis of Wbp1l‐deficient mice revealed alterations in B cell development and enhanced efficiency of bone marrow cell transplantation. Collectively, our data show that WBP1L is a novel regulator of CXCR4 signalling and haematopoiesis. 相似文献

Integrins are alpha/beta heterodimers, but recent in vitro and in vivo experiments also suggest an ability to associate through their transmembrane domains to form homomeric interactions. While the results of some in vitro experiments are consistent with an interaction mediated by a GxxxG-like motif, homo-oligomers observed after in vivo cross-linking are consistent with an almost opposite helix-helix interface. We have shown recently that both models of interaction are compatible with evolutionary conservation data, and we predicted that the alpha-helices in both models would have a similar rotational orientation. Herein, we have tested our prediction using in vitro asparagine scan of five consecutive residues along the GxxxG-like motif of the transmembrane domain of alpha and beta integrins, alphaM and beta2. We show that Asn-mediated dimerization occurs twice for every turn of the helix, consistent with two almost opposite forms of interaction as suggested previously for alphaIIb and beta3 transmembrane domains. The orientational parameters helix tilt and rotational orientation of each of these two Asn-stabilized dimers were measured by site-specific infrared dichroism (SSID) in model lipid bilayers and were found to be consistent with our predicted computational models. Our results highlight an intrinsic tendency for integrin transmembrane alpha-helices to form two opposite types of homomeric interaction in addition to their heteromeric interactions and suggest that integrins may form complex and specific networks at the transmembrane domain during function. 相似文献
