Substitution of methionine 63 or 83 in S100A9 and cysteine 42 in S100A8 abrogate the antifungal activities of S100A8/A9: potential role for oxidative regulation

S100A8 and S100A9 and their heterocomplex calprotectin (S100A8/A9) are abundant cytosolic constituents in human neutrophils previously shown to possess antifungal activity. This study was designed to investigate mechanisms involved in the modulation of the antifungal properties of S100A8/A9. S100A8, S100A9 and site-directed mutants of both proteins were tested for their antifungal effect against Candida albicans in microplate dilution assays. Whereas S100A8 alone did not inhibit fungal growth, S100A9 by itself had a moderate antifungal effect. Combining both proteins had the strongest effect. Supporting a potential role for oxidation in S100A8/A9, substitution of methionine 63 or 83 of S100A9 resulted in the loss of antifungal activity. Additionally, the substitution to alanine of cysteine 42 of S100A8 also caused a loss of S100A8's ability to enhance S100A9's antifungal effect. Overall, our data indicate that both S100A8 and S100A9 are required for their fully active antifungal effect and that oxidation regulates S100A8/A9 antifungal activity through mechanisms that remain to be elucidated and evaluated. Finally, together with our previous work describing the oxidation-sensitive anti-inflammatory effects of S100A8/A9, we propose that S100A8/A9 exerts an anti-inflammatory activity in healthy state and that conditions associated with oxidative stress activate the antifungal activity of S100A8/A9.     

Bovine Brain S100 Proteins: Separation and Characterization of a New S100 Protein Species

Three S100 protein species (S100a, S100b, S100a') have been purified from bovine brain using a modification of standard preparative methods. A higher yield for each protein was obtained at the last separation step. Characterization by urea/sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, UV absorption spectra, and fluorescence parameters provided evidence of a new tryptophan-containing S100 protein called S100a', which exhibits, as S100a and S100b, the properties of a Ca2+ binding protein.     

The hetero-oligomeric complex of the S100A8/S100A9 protein is extremely protease resistant

S100A8, S100A9 and S100A12 proteins are associated with inflammation and tissue remodelling, both processes known to be associated with high protease activity. Here, we report that homo-oligomeric forms of S100A8 and S100A9 are readily degraded by proteases, but that the preferred hetero-oligomeric S100A8/A9 complex displays a high resistance even against proteinase K degradation. S100A12 is not as protease resistant as the S100A8/A9 complex. Since specific functions have been assigned to the homo- and heterooligomeric forms of the S100A8 and A9 proteins, this finding may point to a post-translational level of regulation of the various functions of these proteins in inflammation and tissue remodelling.

Solution NMR structure of S100B bound to the high-affinity target peptide TRTK-12

The solution NMR structure is reported for Ca(2+)-loaded S100B bound to a 12-residue peptide, TRTK-12, from the actin capping protein CapZ (alpha1 or alpha2 subunit, residues 265-276: TRTKIDWNKILS). This peptide was discovered by Dimlich and co-workers by screening a bacteriophage random peptide display library, and it matches exactly the consensus S100B binding sequence ((K/R)(L/I)XWXXIL). As with other S100B target proteins, a calcium-dependent conformational change in S100B is required for TRTK-12 binding. The TRTK-12 peptide is an amphipathic helix (residues W7 to S12) in the S100B-TRTK complex, and helix 4 of S100B is extended by three or four residues upon peptide binding. However, helical TRTK-12 in the S100B-peptide complex is uniquely oriented when compared to the three-dimensional structures of other S100-peptide complexes. The three-dimensional structure of the S100B-TRTK peptide complex illustrates that residues in the S100B binding consensus sequence (K4, I5, W7, I10, L11) are all involved in the S100B-peptide interface, which can explain its orientation in the S100B binding pocket and its relatively high binding affinity. A comparison of the S100B-TRTK peptide structure to the structures of apo- and Ca(2+)-bound S100B illustrates that the binding site of TRTK-12 is buried in apo-S100B, but is exposed in Ca(2+)-bound S100B as necessary to bind the TRTK-12 peptide.     

Purification of the Ca-binding protein S100A1 from myocardium and recombinant Escherichia coli

S100A1 is a new regulatory protein of myocardial contractility that is differentially expressed in early and late stages of myocardial hypertrophy. In order to further investigate the multiple functions of S100A1 in various assay systems we developed a new strategy for isolating biologically active S100A1 protein. After EDTA extraction of myocardium or recombinant bacteria, S100A1 was purified by Octyl-Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography and HiTrapQ anion-exchange chromatography yielding 1.4–2.0 mg/100 g wet tissue and 0.7–1.0 mg/100 ml bacterial culture. Native porcine as well as human recombinant S100A1 revealed biological activity in physiological and biochemical assays.     

S100A7: A rAMPing up AMP molecule in psoriasis

S100A7 (psoriasin), an EF-hand type calcium binding protein localized in epithelial cells, regulates cell proliferation and differentiation. An S100A7 overexpression may occur in response to inflammatory stimuli, such in psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory autoimmune-mediated skin disease. Increasing evidence suggests that S100A7 plays critical roles in amplifying the inflammatory process in psoriatic skin, perpetuating the disease phenotype. This review will discuss the interactions between S100A7 and cytokines in psoriatic skin. Furthermore, we will focus our discussion on regulation and functions of S100A7 in psoriasis. Finally, we will discuss the possible use of S100A7 as therapeutic target in psoriasis.     

Genomic and phylogenetic analysis of the S100A7 (Psoriasin) gene duplications within the region of the S100 gene cluster on human chromosome 1q21

Abstract The human S100 gene family encodes the EF-hand superfamily of calcium-binding proteins, with at least 14 family members clustered relatively closely together on chromosome 1q21. We have analyzed the most recently available genomic sequence of the human S100 gene cluster for evidence of tandem gene duplications during primate evolutionary history. The sequences obtained from both GenBank and GoldenPath were analyzed in detail using various comparative sequence analysis tools. We found that of the S100A genes clustered relatively closely together within a genomic region of 260 kb, only the S100A7 (psoriasin) gene region showed evidence of recent duplications. The S100A7 gene duplicated region is composed of three distinct genomic regions, 33, 11, and 31 kb, respectively, that together harbor at least five identifiable S100A7-like genes. Regions 1 and 3 are in opposite orientation to each other, but each region carries two S100A7-like genes separated by an 11-kb intergenic region (region 2) that has only one S100A7-like gene, providing limited sequence resemblance to regions 1 and 3. The duplicated genomic regions 1 and 3 share a number of different retroelements including five Alu subfamily members that serve as molecular clocks. The shared (paralogous) Alu S insertions suggest that regions 1 and 3 were probably duplicated during or after the phase of AluS amplification some 30–40 mya. We used PCR to amplify an indel within intron 1 of the S100A7a and S100A7c genes that gave the same two expected product sizes using 40 human DNA samples and 1 chimpanzee sample, therefore confirming the presence of the region 1 and 3 duplication in these species. Comparative genomic analysis of the other S100 gene members shows no similarity between intergenic regions, suggesting that they diverged long before the emergence of the primates. This view was supported by the phylogenetic analysis of different human S100 proteins including the human S100A7 protein members. The S100A7 protein, also known as psoriasin, has important functions as a mediator and regulator in skin differentiation and disease (psoriasis), in breast cancer, and as a chemotactic factor for inflammatory cells. This is the first report of five copies of the S100A7 gene in the human genome, which may impact on our understanding of the possible dose effects of these genes in inflammation and normal skin development and pathogenesis.     

Ca2+-Binding S100 Proteins in the Central Nervous System

A number of neurodegenerative disorders have been attributed to abberrations of intracellular Ca²⁺ homeostasis regulated by Ca²⁺-binding proteins. This chapter will focus on the S100B and S100A6 proteins, which are highly expressed in the central nervous system. Their protein structures, localizations, and association with brain pathology as well as their potential use in clinical diagnostics will be discussed.     

S100A6 - New facts and features

S100A6 (calcyclin) is a 10.5 kDa Ca²⁺-binding protein that belongs to the S100 protein family. S100A6 contains two EF-hand motifs responsible for binding of Ca²⁺. It also binds Zn²⁺ through not yet identified structures. Binding of Ca²⁺ induces a conformational change in the S100A6 molecule which in consequence increases its overall hydrophobicity and allows for interaction with target proteins. S100A6 was found in different mammalian and avian (chicken) tissues. A high level of S100A6 is observed in epithelial cells, fibroblasts and in different kinds of cancer cells. The function of S100A6 is not clear at present, but it has been suggested that it may be involved in cell proliferation, cytoskeletal dynamics and tumorigenesis. Additionally, S100A6 might have some extracellular activities. This review presents new facts and features concerning the S100A6 protein.     

The Zn2+ and Ca2+‐binding S100B and S100A1 proteins: beyond the myths

The S100 genes encode a conserved group of 21 vertebrate‐specific EF‐hand calcium‐binding proteins. Since their discovery in 1965, S100 proteins have remained enigmatic in terms of their cellular functions. In this review, we summarize the calcium‐ and zinc‐binding properties of the dimeric S100B and S100A1 proteins and highlight data that shed new light on the extracellular and intracellular regulation and functions of S100B. We point out that S100B and S100A1 homodimers are not functionally interchangeable and that in a S100A1/S100B heterodimer, S100A1 acts as a negative regulator for the ability of S100B to bind Zn²⁺. The Ca²⁺ and Zn²⁺‐dependent interactions of S100B with a wide array of proteins form the basis of its activities and have led to the derivation of some initial rules for S100B recognition of protein targets. However, recent findings have strongly suggested that these rules need to be revisited. Here, we describe a new consensus S100B binding motif present in intracellular and extracellular vertebrate‐specific proteins and propose a new model for stable interactions of S100B dimers with full‐length target proteins. A chaperone‐associated function for intracellular S100B in adaptive cellular stress responses is also discussed. This review may help guide future studies on the functions of S100 proteins in general.     

S100A8、S100A9在幽门螺杆菌相关胃癌发生发展中的作用研究进展

S100家族是由20余个结构相似但功能各异的成员组成。该家族成员广泛参与感染、促炎、自身免疫等各种病理过程。近年来,越来越多学者发现S100家族成员在肿瘤的发展过程中也有不同程度的表达失调,且具有特异性。胃癌是我国常见的恶性肿瘤之一,国家癌症中心统计数据表明,2015年我国胃癌新发病率为679／10万,死亡率为498／10万[1],位居所有恶性肿瘤第2位。幽门螺杆菌（H. pylori）作为胃癌的Ⅰ类危险因子,目前其与胃癌的密切关系也得到了广大学者的认可。研究发现,S100家族成员——S100A8、S100A9在H. pylori感染相关胃炎、胃癌患者病理组织中表达显著上调,因此其在胃癌发生发展中的作用受到了学者的关注。本文主要就S100A8、S100A9在H. pylori相关胃癌发生发展中的作用作一综述。

The three-dimensional solution structure of Ca(2+)-bound S100A1 as determined by NMR spectroscopy

S100A1 is an EF-hand-containing Ca(2+)-binding protein that undergoes a conformational change upon binding calcium as is necessary to interact with protein targets and initiate a biological response. To better understand how calcium influences the structure and function of S100A1, the three-dimensional structure of calcium-bound S100A1 was determined by multidimensional NMR spectroscopy and compared to the previously determined structure of apo. In total, 3354 nuclear Overhauser effect-derived distance constraints, 240 dihedral constraints, 160 hydrogen bond constraints, and 362 residual dipolar coupling restraints derived from a series of two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and four-dimensional NMR experiments were used in its structure determination (>21 constraints per residue). As with other dimeric S100 proteins, S100A1 is a symmetric homodimer with helices 1, 1', 4, and 4' associating into an X-type four-helix bundle at the dimer interface. Within each subunit there are four alpha-helices and a short antiparallel beta-sheet typical of two helix-loop-helix EF-hand calcium-binding domains. The addition of calcium did not change the interhelical angle of helices 1 and 2 in the pseudo EF-hand significantly; however, there was a large reorientation of helix 3 in the typical EF-hand. The large conformational change exposes a hydrophobic cleft, defined by residues in the hinge region, the C terminus, and regions of helix 3, which are important for the interaction between S100A1 and a peptide (TRTK-12) derived from the actin-capping protein CapZ.     

Purification and partial characterization of canine S100A12

Canine S100A12 (cS100A12) is a calcium-binding protein of the S100 superfamily of EF-hand proteins, and its expression is restricted to neutrophils and monocytes. Interaction of S100A12 with the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been suggested to play a central role in inflammation. Moreover, S100A12 has been shown to represent a sensitive and specific marker for gastrointestinal inflammation in humans. Only human, porcine, bovine, and rabbit S100A12 have been purified to date, and an immunoassay for the quantification of S100A12 is available only for humans. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a protocol for the purification of S100A12 and to partially characterize this protein in the dog (Canis lupus familiaris) as a prelude to the development of an immunologic method for its detection and quantification in canine serum and fecal specimens. Leukocytes were isolated from canine whole blood by dextran sedimentation, and canine S100A12 was extracted from the cytosol fraction of these cells. Further purification of cS100A12 comprised of ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and strong cation- and anion-exchange column chromatography. Canine S100A12 was successfully purified from canine whole blood. The relative molecular mass of the protein was estimated at 10,379.5 and isoelectric focusing revealed an isoelectric point of 6.0. The approximate specific absorbance of cS100A12 at 280 nm was determined to be 1.78 for a 1 mg/ml solution. The N-terminal AA sequence of the first 15 residues of cS100A12 was Thr-Lys-Leu-Glu-Asp-His-X-Glu-Gly-Ile-Val-Asp-Val-Phe-His, and revealed 100% identity with the predicted protein sequence available through the canine genome project. Sequence homology for the 14 N-terminal residues identified for cS100A12 with those of feline, bovine, porcine, and human S100A12 was 78.6%. We conclude that canine S100A12 can be successfully purified from canine whole blood using the described methods.     

Structural stability and reversible unfolding of recombinant porcine S100A12

Porcine S100A12 is a member of the S100 proteins, family of small acidic calcium-binding proteins characterized by the presence of two EF-hand motifs. These proteins are involved in many cellular events such as the regulation of protein phosphorylation, enzymatic activity, protein-protein interaction, Ca2+ homeostasis, inflammatory processes and intermediate filament polymerization. In addition, members of this family bind Zn2+ or Ca2+ with cooperative effect on binding. In this study, the gene sequence encoding porcine S100A12 was obtained by the synthetic gene approach using E. coli codon bias. Additionally, we report a thermodynamic study of the recombinant S100A12 using circular dichroism, fluorescence and isothermal titration calorimetry. The results of urea and temperature induced unfolding and refolding processes indicated a reversible two-state process. Also, the ANS fluorescence studies showed that in presence of divalent ions the protein exposes hydrophobic sites which could facilitate the interaction with other proteins and trigger the physiological responses.     

S100 A9 is expressed and secreted by the oviduct epithelium,interacts with gametes and affects parameters of human sperm capacitation in vitro

Our previous findings demonstrate that some oviductal secretion proteins bind to gametes and affect sperm physiology and gamete interaction. One of these proteins possesses an estimated molecular weight of 14 kDa. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify this 14 kDa protein, to localize it in the human oviduct, to detect gamete binding sites for the protein, and to evaluate its effects on sperm capacitation parameters and gamete interaction. Explants from the human oviductal tissues of premenopausal women were cultured in the presence of [³⁵S]-Methionine-proteins ([35S]-Met-proteins). De novo synthesized secreted [³⁵S]-Met-proteins were isolated from the culture media by affinity chromatography using their sperm membrane binding ability and analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry peptide sequencing, human S100 A9 was identified as one of the isolated proteins from the 14 kDa protein band. S100 A9 was detected in oviduct epithelium and oviduct secretion using immunohistochemistry and a Western blot. S100 A9 binding to human oocytes and spermatozoa was assessed by indirect immunofluorescence. The acrosome reaction (AR) affected S100 A9 ability to bind sperm cells. The presence of S100 A9 significantly increased both the induced AR and the sperm protein tyrosine phosphorylation, with respect to controls. However, the protein did not affect sperm-zona pellucida interaction. Results indicate that S100 A9 is present in the human oviduct and that it modulates parameters of sperm capacitation in vitro. Hence, the protein might contribute to the regulation of the reproductive process in the oviductal microenvironment.     

S100A12 protein is a strong inducer of neurite outgrowth from primary hippocampal neurons

Several members of the S100 family of Ca(2+) binding proteins are at present known to be secreted and to have extracellular activities. We have investigated the neurite inducing potential of extracellularly added S100A12. Human recombinant S100A12 was found to dramatically induce neuritogenesis of hippocampal cells isolated from 17 to 19 days old rat embryos. The response to S100A12 was dependent on the dose in a bell-shaped manner. A 10-fold increase in neurite outgrowth was observed upon treatment with S100A12 in concentrations between 0.1 and 2.0 microM already after 24 h. Exposure to S100A12 for only 15 min was enough to induce neuritogenesis when measured after 24 h, but to obtain a maximal response, S100A12 had to be present in the culture for at least 4 h. The response to S100A12 was abolished by inhibitors of phospholipase C (PLC), protein kinase C (PKC), Ca(2+) flux, Ca(2+)/calmodulin dependent kinase II (CaMKII) or mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK). Therefore, we suggest that extracellular S100A12 triggers intracellular signal transduction in neurons, involving the classical mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway and a phospholipase C-generated second messenger pathway leading to an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) and activation of PKC, ultimately resulting in neuronal differentiation.
