Regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins are GTPase-activating proteins (GAP) for various Gα subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. Through this mechanism, RGS proteins regulate the magnitude and duration of G-protein-coupled receptor signaling and are often referred to as fine tuners of G-protein signaling. Increasing evidence suggests that RGS proteins themselves are regulated through multiple mechanisms, which may provide an even finer tuning of G-protein signaling and crosstalk between G-protein-coupled receptors and other signaling pathways. This review summarizes the current data on the control of RGS function through regulated expression, intracellular localization, and covalent modification of RGS proteins, as related to cell function and the pathogenesis of diseases. 相似文献

Lysophosphatidic acid is a bioactive phospholipid that is produced by and stimulates ovarian cancer cells, promoting proliferation, migration, invasion, and survival. Effects of LPA are mediated by cell surface G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that activate multiple heterotrimeric G-proteins. G-proteins are deactivated by Regulator of G-protein Signaling (RGS) proteins. This led us to hypothesize that RGS proteins may regulate G-protein signaling pathways initiated by LPA in ovarian cancer cells. To determine the effect of endogenous RGS proteins on LPA signaling in ovarian cancer cells, we compared LPA activity in SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells expressing G(i) subunit constructs that are either insensitive to RGS protein regulation (RGSi) or their RGS wild-type (RGSwt) counterparts. Both forms of the G-protein contained a point mutation rendering them insensitive to inhibition with pertussis toxin, and cells were treated with pertussis toxin prior to experiments to eliminate endogenous G(i/o) signaling. The potency and efficacy of LPA-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity was enhanced in cells expressing RGSi G(i) proteins as compared to RGSwt G(i). We further showed that LPA signaling that is subject to RGS regulation terminates much faster than signaling thru RGS insensitive G-proteins. Finally, LPA-stimulated SKOV-3 cell migration, as measured in a wound-induced migration assay, was enhanced in cells expressing Galpha(i2) RGSi as compared to cells expressing Galpha(i2) RGSwt, suggesting that endogenous RGS proteins in ovarian cancer cells normally attenuate this LPA effect. These data establish RGS proteins as novel regulators of LPA signaling in ovarian cancer cells. 相似文献

Homers are scaffolding proteins that bind Ca(2+) signaling proteins in cellular microdomains. The Homers participate in targeting and localization of Ca(2+) signaling proteins in signaling complexes. However, recent work showed that the Homers are not passive scaffolding proteins, but rather they regulate the activity of several proteins within the Ca(2+) signaling complex in an isoform-specific manner. Homer2 increases the GAP activity of RGS proteins and PLCbeta that accelerate the GTPase activity of Galpha subunits. Homer1 gates the activity of TRPC channels, controls the rates of their translocation and retrieval from the plasma membrane and mediates the conformational coupling between TRPC channels and IP(3)Rs. Homer1 stimulates the activity of the cardiac and neuronal L-type Ca(2+) channels Ca(v)1.2 and Ca(v)1.3. Homer1 also mediates the communication between the cardiac and smooth muscle ryanodine receptor RyR2 and Ca(v)1.2 to regulate E-C coupling. In many cases the Homers function as a buffer to reduce the intensity of Ca(2+) signaling and create a negative bias that can be reversed by the immediate early gene form of Homer1. Hence, the Homers should be viewed as the buffers of Ca(2+) signaling that ensure a high spatial and temporal fidelity of the Ca(2+) signaling and activation of downstream effects. 相似文献

In the past two years, studies of Stbm genes (also known as Vangl2) and the proteins that they encode in mice, flies, frogs and fish have shown that they have a crucial role in regulating planar cell polarity and convergent extension movements. Combined genetic and biochemical analyses have pointed to signaling pathways where Stbm (Vangl2) proteins might act, and have identified several interacting proteins that form a crucial multi-protein signaling complex at the membrane. These studies show that these proteins have a pivotal role in a signaling cascade(s) that has been highly conserved in evolution. This review will summarize recent findings documenting the involvement of Stbm (Vangl2) and associated proteins in planar cell polarity, non-canonical Wnt signaling and convergent extension movements. 相似文献

Disabled 1 (Dab1) functions as a critical adapter protein in the Reelin signaling pathway to direct proper positioning of neurons during brain development. Reelin stimulates phosphorylation of Dab1 on tyrosines 198 and 220, and phosphorylated Dab1 is likely to interact with downstream signaling proteins that contain Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. To search for such proteins, we used a Sepharose-conjugated peptide containing phosphotyrosine 220 (PTyr-220) of Dab1, as an affinity matrix to capture binding proteins from mouse brain extracts. Mass spectrometric analysis of bound proteins revealed that Crk family adapter proteins selectively associated with this phosphorylation site. We further show that Crk-I and Crk-II, but not CrkL, stimulate phosphorylation of Dab1 on tyrosine 220 in a Src-dependent manner. Our results suggest that Crk family adapter proteins may play an important role in the Reelin signaling pathway during brain development. 相似文献

The viral control of cellular acetylation signaling 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

It is becoming clear that the post-translational modification of histone and non-histone proteins by acetylation is part of an important cellular signaling process controlling a wide variety of functions in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Recent investigations designate this signaling pathway as one of the primary targets of viral proteins after infection. Indeed, specific viral proteins have acquired the capacity to interact with cellular acetyltransferases (HATs) and deacetylases (HDACs) and consequently to disrupt normal acetylation signaling pathways, thereby affecting viral and cellular gene expression. Here we review the targeting of cellular HATs and HDACs by viral proteins and highlight different strategies adopted by viruses to control cellular acetylation signaling and to accomplish their life cycle. 相似文献

The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a dynamic multi-protein complex attached to the postsynaptic membrane composed of several hundred proteins such as receptors and channels, scaffolding and adaptor proteins, cell-adhesion proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, G-proteins and their modulators and signaling molecules including kinases and phosphtases. This review focuses on the prominent PSD scaffolds proteins such as members of the MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylyl kinase), Shank (SH3 domain and ankyrin repeat-containing protein) and Homer families. These molecules interact simultaneously with different kinds of receptors and modulate their function by linking the receptors to downstream signaling events. For example PSD 95, a main member of MAGUK family, interacts directly with carboxyl termini of NMDA receptor subunits and clusters them to the postsynaptic membrane. In addition, PSD 95 is involved in binding and organizing proteins connected with NMDAR signaling. Based on the modular character and ability to form multiproteins interactions, MAGUK, Shank and Homer are perfectly suited to act as a major scaffold in postsynaptic density. 相似文献

Members of the newly discovered regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) families of proteins have a common RGS domain. This RGS domain is necessary for conferring upon RGS proteins the capacity to regulate negatively a variety of Galpha protein subunits. However, RGS proteins are more than simply negative regulators of signaling. RGS proteins can function as effector antagonists, and recent evidence suggests that RGS proteins can have positive effects on signaling as well. Many RGS proteins possess additional C- and N-terminal modular protein-binding domains and motifs. The presence of these additional modules within the RGS proteins provides for multiple novel regulatory interactions performed by these molecules. These regions are involved in conferring regulatory selectivity to specific Galpha-coupled signaling pathways, enhancing the efficacy of the RGS domain, and the translocation or targeting of RGS proteins to intracellular membranes. In other instances, these domains are involved in cross-talk between different Galpha-coupled signaling pathways and, in some cases, likely serve to integrate small GTPases with these G protein signaling pathways. This review discusses these C- and N-terminal domains and their roles in the biology of the brain-enriched RGS proteins. Methods that can be used to investigate the function of these domains are also discussed. 相似文献

B‐cell receptor (BCR) signaling is essential for the development and function of B cells; however, the spectrum of proteins involved in BCR signaling is not fully known. Here we used quantitative mass spectrometry‐based proteomics to monitor the dynamics of BCR signaling complexes (signalosomes) and to investigate the dynamics of downstream phosphorylation and ubiquitylation signaling. We identify most of the previously known components of BCR signaling, as well as many proteins that have not yet been implicated in this system. BCR activation leads to rapid tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitylation of the receptor‐proximal signaling components, many of which are co‐regulated by both the modifications. We illustrate the power of multilayered proteomic analyses for discovering novel BCR signaling components by demonstrating that BCR‐induced phosphorylation of RAB7A at S72 prevents its association with effector proteins and with endo‐lysosomal compartments. In addition, we show that BCL10 is modified by LUBAC‐mediated linear ubiquitylation, and demonstrate an important function of LUBAC in BCR‐induced NF‐κB signaling. Our results offer a global and integrated view of BCR signaling, and the provided datasets can serve as a valuable resource for further understanding BCR signaling networks. 相似文献

Regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins form a multifunctional signaling family. A key role of RGS proteins is binding to the G-protein Galpha-subunit and acting as GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), thereby rapidly terminating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. Using the published RGS4-Gialpha1 X-ray structure we have designed and synthesized a series of cyclic peptides, modeled on the Gialpha Switch I region, that inhibit RGS4 GAP activity. These compounds should prove useful for elucidating RGS-mediated activity and serve as a starting point for the development of a novel class of therapeutic agent. 相似文献

Regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS proteins) comprise over 20 different proteins that have been classified into subfamilies on the basis of structural homology. The RZ/A family includes RGSZ2/RGS17 (the most recently discovered member of this family), GAIP/RGS19, RGSZ1/RGS20, and the RGSZ1 variant Ret-RGS. The RGS proteins are GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) that turn off G-proteins and thus negatively regulate the signaling of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). In addition, some RZ/A family RGS proteins are able to modify signaling through interactions with adapter proteins (such as GIPC and GIPN). The RZ/A proteins have a simple structure that includes a conserved amino-terminal cysteine string motif, RGS box and short carboxyl-terminal, which confer GAP activity (RGS box) and the ability to undergo covalent modification and interact with other proteins (amino-terminal). This review focuses on RGS17 and its RZ/A sibling proteins and discusses the similarities and differences among these proteins in terms of their palmitoylation, phosphorylation, intracellular localization and interactions with GPCRs and adapter proteins. The specificity of these RGS protein for different Galpha proteins and receptors, and the consequences for signaling are discussed. The tissue and brain distribution, and the evolving understanding of the roles of this family of RGS proteins in receptor signaling and brain function are highlighted. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Gbeta proteins have traditionally been thought to complex with Ggamma proteins to function as subunits of G protein heterotrimers. The divergent Gbeta(5) protein, however, can bind either Ggamma proteins or regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins that contain a G gamma-like (GGL) domain. RGS proteins inhibit G protein signaling by acting as Galpha GTPase activators. While Gbeta(5) appears to bind RGS proteins in vivo, its association with Ggamma proteins in vivo has not been clearly demonstrated. It is unclear how Gbeta(5) might influence RGS activity. In C. elegans there are exactly two GGL-containing RGS proteins, EGL-10 and EAT-16, and they inhibit Galpha(o) and Galpha(q) signaling, respectively. RESULTS: We knocked out the gene encoding the C. elegans Gbeta(5) ortholog, GPB-2, to determine its physiological roles in G protein signaling. The gpb-2 mutation reduces the functions of EGL-10 and EAT-16 to levels comparable to those found in egl-10 and eat-16 null mutants. gpb-2 knockout animals are viable, and exhibit no obvious defects beyond those that can be attributed to a reduction of EGL-10 or EAT-16 function. GPB-2 protein is nearly absent in eat-16; egl-10 double mutants, and EGL-10 protein is severely diminished in gpb-2 mutants. CONCLUSIONS: Gbeta(5) functions in vivo complexed with GGL-containing RGS proteins. In the absence of Gbeta(5), these RGS proteins have little or no function. The formation of RGS-Gbeta(5) complexes is required for the expression or stability of both the RGS and Gbeta(5) proteins. Appropriate RGS-Gbeta(5) complexes regulate both Galpha(o) and Galpha(q) proteins in vivo. 相似文献

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and regulate the formation of cartilage and bone tissues as well as other key events during development. TGF-beta superfamily signaling is mediated intracellularly by Smad proteins, some of which can translocate into the cell nucleus and influence gene expression. Although much progress has been made in understanding how TGF-beta superfamily signaling regulates expression of target genes, little formal proof has been presented regarding the intracellular distribution of the Smad proteins before their entry into the nucleus. In the literature, non-nuclear Smad proteins are generally referred to as cytoplasmic. Using confocal microscopy, we here show for the first time that immunofluorescent labeling of Smad5, one of the Smad proteins associated with BMP signaling, colocalizes with the mitochondrion-specific probe MitoTracker, demonstrating a mitochondrial distribution of Smad5 in non-stimulated chondroprogenitor cells. 相似文献

The Crk and Crk-like (CrkL) adaptor proteins play important roles in numerous signaling pathways, bridging tyrosine kinase substrates to downstream signaling effectors by virtue of their phosphotyrosine-binding SH2 domains and their effector-binding SH3 domains. Critical to understanding the diverse roles of Crk/CrkL is the identification of tissue- and signal-specific tyrosine phosphorylated substrates to which they are recruited and the tissue-specific effector proteins they chaperone into signaling complexes. Crk and CrkL are known biochemically and genetically to be essential mediators of Reelin/Disabled-1 (Dab1) signaling, which governs proper mammalian brain development. Multimeric Reelin clusters its receptors as well as the receptor-bound intracellular scaffolding protein Dab1. Clustering induces Fyn/Src-dependent Dab1 tyrosine phosphorylation, which recruits Crk/CrkL and SH3-bound effectors. Previously, 21 Crk/CrkL-SH3 binding proteins were identified from diverse cell types. We present here the proteomic identification of 101 CrkL-SH3 binding proteins from embryonic murine brain. The identified proteins are enriched in the Crk/CrkL-SH3 binding motif and signaling activities regulating cell adhesion and motility. These results suggest Reelin-induced Dab1 tyrosine phosphorylation may generate a multifaceted signaling scaffold containing a rich array of Crk/CrkL-SH3 binding effectors and may explain a growing diversity of cellular activities suggested to be influenced by Reelin/Dab1 signaling. 相似文献

Nearly every cell type in the mammalian body projects from its cell surface a primary cilium that provides important sensory and signaling functions. Defects in the formation or function of primary cilia have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many human developmental disorders and diseases, collectively termed ciliopathies. Most neurons in the brain possess cilia that are enriched for signaling proteins such as G protein-coupled receptors and adenylyl cyclase type 3, suggesting neuronal cilia sense neuromodulators in the brain and contribute to non-synaptic signaling. Indeed, disruption of neuronal cilia or loss of neuronal ciliary signaling proteins is associated with obesity and learning and memory deficits. As the functions of primary cilia are defined by the signaling proteins that localize to the ciliary compartment, identifying the complement of signaling proteins in cilia can provide important insights into their physiological roles. Here we report for the first time that different GPCRs can colocalize within the same cilium. Specifically, we found the ciliary GPCRs, melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (Mchr1) and somatostatin receptor 3 (Sstr3) colocalizing within cilia in multiple mouse brain regions. In addition, we have evidence suggesting Mchr1 and Sstr3 form heteromers. As GPCR heteromerization can affect ligand binding properties as well as downstream signaling, our findings add an additional layer of complexity to neuronal ciliary signaling. 相似文献

The Arabidopsis genome encodes a number of proteins with similarity to two-component phosphorelay signaling elements, including hybrid receptor histidine kinases, two classes of response regulator proteins (type-A and type-B ARRs) and a family of six histidine-containing phosphotransfer proteins (AHPs), five of which contain a conserved His residue that is required for phosphorelay signaling. The current model for cytokinin signaling includes a multistep phosphorelay: three histidine kinases and at least five type-B ARRs have been shown to act as positive regulators of cytokinin signaling, while a number of type-A ARRs, and AHP6, act as negative regulators of the pathway. In our recent Plant Cell paper, we provided genetic evidence that at least four AHPs can act as positive regulators of cytokinin signaling, affecting responses to cytokinin in the root and the shoot. In this addendum, we discuss the role of AHPs in cytokinin signaling and speculate on their potential interactions with other signaling pathways in Arabidopsis.Key Words: Arabidopsis, cytokinin, two-component signaling, phosphorelay, AHP 相似文献
