Shank is a recently described family of postsynaptic proteins that function as part of the NMDA receptor-associated PSD-95 complex (Naisbitt et al., 1999 [this issue of Neuron]). Here, we report that Shank proteins also bind to Homer. Homer proteins form multivalent complexes that bind proline-rich motifs in group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors and inositol trisphosphate receptors, thereby coupling these receptors in a signaling complex. A single Homer-binding site is identified in Shank, and Shank and Homer coimmunoprecipitate from brain and colocalize at postsynaptic densities. Moreover, Shank clusters mGluR5 in heterologous cells in the presence of Homer and mediates the coclustering of Homer with PSD-95/GKAP. Thus, Shank may cross-link Homer and PSD-95 complexes in the PSD and play a role in the signaling mechanisms of both mGluRs and NMDA receptors. 相似文献

Striated muscle represents one of the best models for studies on Ca(2+) signalling. However, although much is known on the localisation and molecular interactions of the ryanodine receptors (RyRs), far less is known on the localisation and on the molecular interactions of the inositol trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)Rs) in striated muscle cells. Recently, members of the Homer protein family have been shown to cluster type 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1) in the plasma membrane and to interact with InsP(3)R in the endoplasmic reticulum of neurons. Thus, these scaffolding proteins are good candidates for organising plasma membrane receptors and intracellular effector proteins in signalosomes involved in intracellular Ca(2+) signalling. Homer proteins are also expressed in skeletal muscle, and the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) contains a specific Homer-binding motif. We report here on the relative sub-cellular localisation of InsP(3)Rs and Homer proteins in skeletal muscle cells with respect to the localisation of RyRs. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that both Homer and InsP(3)R proteins present a staining pattern indicative of a localisation at the Z-line, clearly distinct from that of RyR1. Consistent herewith, in sub-cellular fractionation experiments, Homer proteins and InsP(3)R were both found in the fractions enriched in longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum (LSR) but not in fractions of terminal cisternae that are enriched in RyRs. Thus, in skeletal muscle, Homer proteins may play a role in the organisation of a second Ca(2+) signalling compartment containing the InsP(3)R, but are apparently not involved in the organisation of RyRs at triads. 相似文献

The Homer family of scaffold proteins couples NMDA receptors to metabotropic glutamate receptors and links extracellular signals to calcium release from intracellular stores. Ania-3 is a member of the Homer family and is rapidly inducible in brain in response to diverse stimuli. Here, we report the identification of the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) as a novel Ania-3/Homer-associated protein. Ania-3/Homer interacts with the b-splice forms of all PMCAs (PMCA1b, 2b, 3b, and 4b) via their PDZ domain-binding COOH-terminal tail. Ectopically expressed Ania-3 colocalized with the PMCA at the plasma membrane of polarized MDCK epithelial cells, and endogenous Ania-3/Homer and PMCA2 are co-expressed in the soma and dendrites of primary rat hippocampal neurons. The interaction between Ania-3/Homer and PMCAs may represent a novel mechanism by which local calcium signaling and hence synaptic function can be modulated in neurons. 相似文献

Vesl-1S/Homer 1a, reported originally as Vesl/Homer, was isolated as a synaptic plasticity-regulated gene. The expression of Vesl-1S/Homer 1a is regulated during long-term potentiation in the hippocampus. Vesl-1L/Homer 1c, which appears to be formed by a splicing event, shares the N-terminus with Vesl-1S/Homer 1a and also contains additional amino acids at the C-terminus. The short form and the long form of the family members both interact with group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). We herein report the identification of syntaxin 13 as a molecule that interacts with Vesl-1L using yeast two-hybrid screening. Syntaxin 13 is a member of the syntaxin family and is regarded as soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive attachment proteins receptors (SNAREs) in the endosomal membranes. The interaction of Vesl-1L and syntaxin 13 was biochemically confirmed by in vitro binding assays. The coexpression of the two proteins in the transfected cells resulted in a colocalization in the intracellular vesicle-like structures. We thus propose that the association of Vesl-1L with syntaxin 13 plays a role in the translocation of Vesl-1L to the intracellular organelles. 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

PSD-Zip45 (also named Homer 1c/Vesl-1L) is a synaptic scaffolding protein, which interacts with neurotransmitter receptors and other scaffolding proteins to target them into post-synaptic density (PSD), a specialized protein complex at the synaptic junction. Binding of the PSD-Zip45 to the receptors and scaffolding proteins results in colocalization and clustering of its binding partners in PSD. It has an Ena/VASP homology 1 (EVH1) domain in the N terminus for receptor binding, two leucine zipper motifs in the C terminus for clustering, and a linking region whose function is unclear despite the high level of conservation within the Homer 1 family. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of the largest fragment of residues 1-163, including an EVH1 domain reported here, demonstrates that the EVH1 domain contains an alpha-helix longer than that of the previous models, and that the linking part included in the conserved region of Homer 1 (CRH1) of the PSD-Zip45 interacts with the EVH1 domain of the neighbour CRH1 molecule in the crystal. The results suggest that the EVH1 domain recognizes the PPXXF motif found in the binding partners, and the SPLTP sequence (P-motif) in the linking region of the CRH1. The two types of binding are partly overlapped in the EVH1 domain, implying a mechanism to regulate multimerization of Homer 1 family proteins. 相似文献

Homer is a family of cytoplasmic adaptor proteins that play different roles in cell function, including the regulation of G-protein-coupled receptors. These proteins contain an Ena (Enabled)/VASP (vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein) homology 1 domain that binds to the PPXXF sequence motif, which is present in different Ca2?-handling proteins such as IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) receptors and TRPC (transient receptor potential canonical) channels. In the present study we show evidence for a role of Homer proteins in the STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1)-Orai1 association, as well as in the TRPC1-IP3RII (type II IP3 receptor) interaction, which might be of relevance in platelet function. Treatment of human platelets with thapsigargin or thrombin results in a Ca2?-independent association of Homer1 with TRPC1 and IP3RII. In addition, thapsigargin and thrombin enhanced the association of Homer1 with STIM1 and Orai1 in a Ca2?-dependent manner. Interference with Homer function by introduction of the synthetic PPKKFR peptide into cells, which emulates the proline-rich sequences of the PPXXF motif, reduced STIM1-Orai1 and TRPC1- IP3RII associations, as compared with the introduction of the inactive PPKKRR peptide. The PPKKFR peptide attenuates thrombin-evoked Ca2? entry and the maintenance of thapsigargin-induced store-operated Ca2? entry. Finally, the PPKKFR peptide attenuated thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. The findings of the present study support an important role for Homer proteins in thrombin-stimulated platelet function, which is likely to be mediated by the support of agonist-induced Ca2? entry. 相似文献

The minimal requirements were defined as necessary for cluster formation of the group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR), which is regulated by the Homer/vesl family of scaffolding proteins [Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 10 (2000) 370]. Cluster formation of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) plays a fundamental role in signal transduction, particularly at the neuronal synapse. To understand the interaction of mGluR with PSD-Zip45, a Homer/vesl family member, we designed a series of chimeric receptor proteins, consisting of C-terminal mGluR1alpha sequences that were fused to endothelin B receptors (ET(B)Rs). In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that an extended 20 amino acid long C-terminal mGluR1alpha peptide, including the proline-rich core motif PPXXF, is sufficient to induce clustering of chimeric ET(B)R/mGluR1alpha receptors by PSD-Zip45. This result is especially important because it constitutes the basis for a new approach to form two-dimensional crystals of membrane proteins in situ, which may render unstable membrane proteins amenable to electron crystallographic structure determination. 相似文献

Molecular characterisation of two structurally distinct groups of human homers, generated by extensive alternative splicing 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Homer proteins bind specifically to the C termini of the metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR1alpha/a and mGluR5, play a role in their targeting and modulate their synaptic properties. We have discovered that extensive alternative splicing generates a family of 17 Homer proteins. These fall into two distinct groups of 12 "long" Homers, which all have a coiled-coil domain at their C termini, and five "short" Homers, which lack such a domain. All Homers contain the N-terminal sequence responsible for their binding to mGluR1alpha/a receptors and can be co-localised with the recombinantly expressed mGluR1alpha/a protein in HEK-293 cells. The existence of the long and the short variants of each of the Homer-1, Homer-2 and Homer-3 proteins reflects the fundamental principles of Homer functions. 相似文献

Homers are scaffolding proteins that bind G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) receptors (IP3Rs), ryanodine receptors, and TRP channels. However, their role in Ca2+ signaling in vivo is not known. Characterization of Ca2+ signaling in pancreatic acinar cells from Homer2-/- and Homer3-/- mice showed that Homer 3 has no discernible role in Ca2+ signaling in these cells. In contrast, we found that Homer 2 tunes intensity of Ca2+ signaling by GPCRs to regulate the frequency of [Ca2+]i oscillations. Thus, deletion of Homer 2 increased stimulus intensity by increasing the potency for agonists acting on various GPCRs to activate PLCbeta and evoke Ca2+ release and oscillations. This was not due to aberrant localization of IP3Rs in cellular microdomains or IP3R channel activity. Rather, deletion of Homer 2 reduced the effectiveness of exogenous regulators of G proteins signaling proteins (RGS) to inhibit Ca2+ signaling in vivo. Moreover, Homer 2 preferentially bound to PLCbeta in pancreatic acini and brain extracts and stimulated GAP activity of RGS4 and of PLCbeta in an in vitro reconstitution system, with minimal effect on PLCbeta-mediated PIP2 hydrolysis. These findings describe a novel, unexpected function of Homer proteins, demonstrate that RGS proteins and PLCbeta GAP activities are regulated functions, and provide a molecular mechanism for tuning signal intensity generated by GPCRs and, thus, the characteristics of [Ca2+]i oscillations. 相似文献

Homer family proteins are encoded by three genes, homer1, 2 and 3. Most of these proteins are expressed constitutively in nervous systems and accumulated in postsynaptic regions. However, the functional significance of these proteins, especially the significance of the distinction among the proteins encoded by homer1, 2 and 3, is still obscure. In the present study, we isolated a cDNA clone encoding a novel protein by two-hybrid system screening using the C-terminal half of Homer2b as the bait. This protein, termed 2B28, has 297 amino acid residues and contains three major domains: a UBA domain, a coiled-coil region, and a UBX domain. When expressed in HEK293T cells, 2B28 showed colocalization with uniquitin and enhanced the expression levels of IkappaB or Homer1a proteins, which are known to be degraded by proteasomes, indicating that 2B28 is involved in ubiquitin-proteasome functions. 2B28 specifically interacted and colocalized with Homer2 proteins, but not with Homer1 proteins. So far, we have identified no counterpart of 2B28 for Homer1 experimentally or in the protein databases. These results suggest that the specific interaction of 2B28 with Homer2 may play a role in regulation of protein degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome systems and that this function may be specific to Homer2 proteins among Homer family proteins. 相似文献

Homer proteins form an adapter system that regulates coupling of group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors with intracellular inositol trisphosphate receptors and is modified by neuronal activity. Here, we demonstrate that Homer proteins also physically associate with ryanodine receptors type 1 (RyR1) and regulate gating responses to Ca(2+), depolarization, and caffeine. In contrast to the prevailing notion of Homer function, Homer1c (long form) and Homer1-EVH1 (short form) evoke similar changes in RyR activity. The EVH1 domain mediates these actions of Homer and is selectively blocked by a peptide that mimics the Homer ligand. 1B5 dyspedic myotubes expressing RyR1 with a point mutation of a putative Homer-binding domain exhibit significantly reduced (approximately 33%) amplitude in their responses to K(+) depolarization compared with cells expressing wild type protein. These results reveal that in addition to its known role as an adapter protein, Homer is a direct modulator of Ca(2+) release gain. Homer is the first example of an "adapter" that also modifies signaling properties of its target protein. The present work reveals a novel mechanism by which Homer directly modulates the function of its target protein RyR1 and excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal myotubes. This form of regulation may be important in other cell types that express Homer and RyR1. 相似文献

Homer proteins bind to a proline-rich region of the group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and control their expression and localization at the excitatory postsynaptic density. We isolated a novel isoform of Homer1, Homer1d, from a mouse heart cDNA library. Its N-terminal end of 18 amino acids was unique among Homer1 variants (Homer1a-d), while the remainder of Homer1d was identical to that of Homer1b. To clarify the function of its N-terminus, we expressed Homer1b and 1d in the presence and absence of mGluR5b in HEK293T cells. When expressed alone, both Homer proteins were distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm and mGluR5b was on the plasma membrane (PM). When co-expressed, Homer1d and mGluR5b were co-localized on the PM, while Homer1b and mGluR5b were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Both Homer proteins bound to mGluR5b in vitro. Therefore, the N-terminal portion of Homer1d may facilitate trafficking of Homer1-mGluR5 complex from the ER to the PM. 相似文献

The Shank family of proteins interacts with NMDA receptor and metabotropic glutamate receptor complexes in the postsynaptic density (PSD). Targeted to the PSD by a PDZ-dependent mechanism, Shank promotes the maturation of dendritic spines and the enlargement of spine heads via its ability to recruit Homer to postsynaptic sites. Shank and Homer cooperate to induce accumulation of IP3 receptors in dendritic spines and formation of putative multisynapse spines. In addition, postsynaptic expression of Shank enhances presynaptic function, as measured by increased minifrequency and FM4-64 uptake. These data suggest a central role for the Shank scaffold in the structural and functional organization of the dendritic spine and synaptic junction. 相似文献

Homer proteins are commonly known as scaffold proteins at postsynaptic density. Homer 1 is a widely studied member of the Homer protein family, comprising both synaptic structure and mediating postsynaptic signaling transduction. Both an immediate-early gene encoding a Homer 1 variant and a constitutively expressed Homer 1 variant regulate receptor clustering and trafficking, intracellular calcium homeostasis, and intracellular molecule complex formation. Substantial preclinical investigations have implicated that each of these Homer 1 variants are associated with the etiology of many neurological diseases, such as pain, mental retardation syndromes, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, drug-induced addiction, and traumatic brain injury. 相似文献

Structure of the Homer EVH1 domain-peptide complex reveals a new twist in polyproline recognition 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Homer EVH1 (Ena/VASP Homology 1) domains interact with proline-rich motifs in the cytoplasmic regions of group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and Shank proteins. We have determined the crystal structure of the Homer EVH1 domain complexed with a peptide from mGluR (TPPSPF). In contrast to other EVH1 domains, the bound mGluR ligand assumes an unusual conformation in which the side chains of the Ser-Pro tandem are oriented away from the Homer surface, and the Phe forms a unique contact. This unusual binding mode rationalizes conserved features of both Homer and Homer ligands that are not shared by other EVH1 domains. Site-directed mutagenesis confirms the importance of specific Homer residues for ligand binding. These results establish a molecular basis for understanding the biological properties of Homer-ligand complexes. 相似文献

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) produces excessive glutamate, leading to excitotoxicity via the activation of glutamate receptors. Postsynaptic density scaffold proteins have crucial roles in mediating signal transduction from glutamate receptors to their downstream mediators. Therefore, studies on the mechanisms underlying regulation of excitotoxicity by scaffold proteins can uncover new treatments for TBI. Here, we demonstrated that the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer 1a was neuroprotective against TBI in vitro and in vivo, and this neuroprotection was associated with its effects on group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). Upon further study, we found that Homer 1a mainly affected neuronal injury induced by mGluR1 activation after TBI and also influenced mGluR5 function when its activity was restored. The ability of Homer 1a to disrupt mGluR-ERK signaling contributed to its ability to regulate the functions of mGluR1 and mGluR5 after traumatic injury. Intracellular Ca2+ and PKC were two important factors involved in the mediation of mGluR-ERK signaling by Homer 1a. These results define Homer 1a as a novel endogenous neuroprotective agent against TBI. 相似文献
