Phosphorylation-dependent Trafficking of Plasma Membrane Proteins in Animal and Plant Cells

In both unicellular and multicellular organisms, transmembrane (TM) proteins are sorted to and retained at specific membrane domains by endomembrane trafficking mechanisms that recognize sorting signals in the these proteins. The trafficking and distribution of plasma membrane (PM)-localized TM proteins (PM proteins), especially of those PM proteins that show an asymmetric distribution over the PM, has received much attention, as their proper PM localization is crucial for elementary signaling and transport processes, and defects in their localization often lead to severe disease symptoms or developmental defects. The subcellular localization of PM proteins is dynamically regulated by post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination. These modificaitons mostly occur on sorting signals that are located in the larger cytosolic domains of the cargo proteins. Here we review the effects of phosphorylation of PM proteins on their trafficking, and present the key examples from the animal field that have been subject to studies for already several decades, such as that of aquaporin 2 and the epidermal growth factor receptor. Our knowledge on cargo trafficking in plants is largely based on studies of the family of PIN FORMED (PIN) carriers that mediate the efflux of the plant hormone auxin. We will review what is known on the subcellular distribution and trafficking of PIN proteins, with a focus on how this is modulated by phosphorylation, and identify and discuss analogies and differences in trafficking with the well-studied animal examples.     

Plasma Membrane Receptors for Exopolysaccharides of the Ring Rot Causal Agent in Potato Cells

By means of differential centrifugation, microsomal fractions enriched in the plasma membrane were isolated from suspension cell cultures of two cultivars of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) contrasting in their resistance to the causal agent of ring rot (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus) (Cms). Electrophoresis of the fractions showed that they comprised a wide range of proteins from 15 to 75 kD. The protein bands were more brightly expressed in the microsomal membranes of the cells of susceptible cultivar. The proteins of 70 and 42 kD were present only in the cellular membranes of the resistant cultivar. In order to visualize the binding of exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Cms to the receptors of membrane fractions, a conjugate of EPS with a fluorescent marker was used. The membrane fraction isolated from the cells of the susceptible cultivar was found to be richer in receptors for EPS Cms than the membrane fraction from the resistant cultivar. It is supposed that numerous receptors for EPS present on the plasma membrane may partially account for potato susceptibility to Cms. These receptors may facilitate the binding of bacteria to the plant cells, the formation of colonies, and the development of the disease.     

The Plasma Membrane Ca2+-Pump of Plant Cells: A Radiation Inactivation Study

The functional molecular weight of the plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds was determined by measuring the Ca²⁺-dependent ATPase activity and the MgATP-dependent Ca²⁺ transport activity of membrane samples irradiated, in the lyophilized state, with γ rays from [⁶⁰Co] source. The results gave a target size of about 270,000 dalton for both the measured activities, thus confirming (i) that both activities are catalyzed by the same enzyme and (ii) the similarity between the plasma membrane Ca²⁺-ATPase of higher plants and that of the erythrocytes.     

综述与专论：ESCRT复合体在细胞质膜损伤修复中的功能

细胞膜损伤在骨骼肌、血管内皮及胃肠道上皮等组织较为常见，及时有效的细胞膜修复（plasma membrane repair,PMR）能够保证细胞存活，反之，细胞则可能“死亡”。PMR由许多“修补匠”协同完成，它们分工明确且呈现出一定的时序特点。转运必需内体分选复合体（endosomal sorting complex required for transport,ESCRT）是近年来研究发现的在细胞膜损伤修复中发挥关键作用的“修补匠”，其由ESCRT-0、ESCRT-Ⅰ、ESCRT-Ⅱ、ESCRT-Ⅲ、Vps4-Vta1及ALIX组成，主要参与胞外出芽（budding）和多囊泡体（multivesicular body,MVB）形成两种修复途径。本文详细综述了ESCRT系统介导细胞膜损伤修复的可能机制，以期为细胞膜损伤的治疗靶点筛选及促恢复手段创新提供理论依据。     

Diffusion and Active Transport of NCAM within the Neuronal Plasma Membrane

In our study, we showed that distribution of NCAM along the surface of actively growing in vitro neurites of murine hippocampal neurons comprises at least two components. The first component is reflected in exponential decline of the NCAM immunoreactivity from the soma and growth cone to a central part of the neurite. This component can be described by a model assuming diffusive redistribution of NCAM from the sites of its preferential insertion (from the neuron's soma and growth cones). The second component manifests itself as clusters of NCAM immunoreactivity irregularly distributed along the neurites. Some of these NCAM clusters, which were immunolabeled in a living neuron, can intermittently move back and forth along the neurites with a velocity up to 0.5 m/sec. Our data demonstrate that, besides passive NCAM diffusion, an active mechanism of NCAM redistribution exists in the central neurite part.     

Posterior Midgut Epithelial Cells Differ in Their Organization of the Membrane Skeleton from Other Drosophila Epithelia

In epithelial cells, the various components of the membrane skeleton are segregated within specialized subregions of the plasma membrane, thus contributing to the development and stabilization of cell surface polarity. It has previously been shown that, in various Drosophila epithelia, the membrane skeleton components ankyrin and alphabeta-spectrin reside at the lateral surface, whereas alphabeta(H)-spectrin is restricted to the apical domain. By use of confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, the present study characterizes the membrane skeleton of epithelial cells in the posterior midgut, leading to a number of unexpected results. First, ankyrin and alphabeta-spectrin are not detected on the entire lateral surface but appear to be restricted to the apicolateral area, codistributing with fasciclin III at smooth septate junctions. The presumptive ankyrin-binding proteins neuroglian and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, however, do not colocalize with ankyrin. Second, alphabeta(H)-spectrin is enriched at the apical domain but is also present in lower amounts on the entire lateral surface, colocalizing apicolaterally with ankyrin/alphabeta-spectrin. Finally, despite the absence of zonulae adherentes, F-actin, beta(H)-spectrin, and nonmuscle myosin-II are enriched in the midlateral region. Thus, the model established for the organization of the membrane skeleton in Drosophila epithelia does not hold for the posterior midgut, and there is quite some variability between the different epithelia with respect to the organization of the membrane skeleton.

以大豆下胚轴为材料,采用改进的匀浆介质,通过两相法制得具有质子转运活力的高纯度质膜微囊.并且发现冻融处理可以促进质膜微囊的翻转而提高荧光猝灭效率.质子载体和质子转运特性分析表明,由Mg^2＋-ATP引发的荧光猝灭可以被质子载体CCCP恢复,并被质子通道抑制剂DCCD抑制;并且发现质膜H^＋-ATPase专一抑制剂钒酸钠可以完全抑制荧光猝灭,同时发现荧光猝灭依赖于Mg^2＋,并受K^＋刺激,最适pH为6.5.以上证明所测荧光猝灭是由质膜H^＋-ATPase所进行的质子转运引起的.结果同时表明,维持H^＋-ATPase合适构象和提高质膜微囊封闭性是制备具有H^＋转运活力质膜微囊的两个关键因素.     

Actin Dynamics Regulates Voltage-Dependent Calcium-Permeable Channels of the Vicia faba Guard Cell Plasma Membrane

Free cytosolic Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]_cyt) is an ubiquitous second messenger in plant cell signaling, and [Ca²⁺]_cyt elevation is associated with Ca²⁺-permeable channels in the plasma membrane and endomembranes regulated by a wide range of stimuli. However, knowledge regarding Ca²⁺ channels and their regulation remains limited in planta . A type of voltage-dependent Ca²⁺-permeable channel was identified and characterized for the Vicia faba L. guard cell plasma membrane by using patch-clamp techniques. These channels are permeable to both Ba²⁺ and Ca²⁺, and their activities can be inhibited by micromolar Gd³⁺. The unitary conductance and the reversal potential of the channels depend on the Ca²⁺ or Ba²⁺ gradients across the plasma membrane. The inward whole-cell Ca²⁺ (Ba²⁺) current, as well as the unitary current amplitude and NP_o of the single Ca²⁺ channel, increase along with the membrane hyperpolarization. Pharmacological experiments suggest that actin dynamics may serve as an upstream regulator of this type of calcium channel of the guard cell plasma membrane. Cytochalasin D, an actin polymerization blocker, activated the NPo of these channels at the single channel level and increased the current amplitude at the whole-cell level. But these channel activations and current increments could be restrained by pretreatment with an F-actin stabilizer, phalloidin. The potential physiological significance of this regulatory mechanism is also discussed.

Alteration of Synaptosomal Plasma Membrane Cholesterol Content: Membrane Physical Properties and Cation Transport Proteins

The level of nerve membrane cholesterol was altered by in vitro incubation of rat brain synaptosomal plasma membrane with liposomes having varying cholesterol contents. The normal plasma membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio of 0.3-0.4 (mol/mol) could be decreased by about one-half or increased more than 100%. Fluorescence polarization measurements were made using the probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. At temperatures below 35 percent C, lowering membrane cholesterol led to increased apparent microviscosity, while raising cholesterol content produced little change. However, at 45 percent C a continuous direct relationship existed between experimental membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio (ranging from 0.18 to 0.73) and apparent microviscosity. Under standard liposome-synaptosomal plasma membrane exchange conditions, 80% of the initial specific [(3)H]saxitoxin binding activity to the voltage-dependent sodium channel and at least 95% of the (Mg2+,K+)-p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity were preserved. Our results indicate that neither the characteristics of toxin binding nor the kinetics of this enzyme activity is dependent upon membrane cholesterol content.     

Purification and Amino-terminal Sequencing of a 68 kD Glycopolypeptide of the Plasma Membrane from Maize Sperm Cells

Based on author's previous work on detection and immunolocalization of glycoproteins of the plasma membrane of maize ( Zea mays L. ) sperm cells, a 68 kD peripheral specific glycopolypeptide of the plasma membrane from maize sperm cells was purified by IEF-SDS two-dimensional electrophoresis. It presents specif- ically positive reaction in Con A-HRP (concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase) staining, and its pi value is 5.5. The search in protein sequence database reveals that the amino-terminal sequence of this glycopolypeptide is identical with that of Con A. But its difference from Con A in molecular weight and pi value indicates that it could be related to a Con A receptor on the plasma membranes of maize sperm cells instead of being Con A itself. It is fascinating to study further the function of the above glycopolypeptide in gametic recognition, adhesion and fusion of the double fertilization in maize.     

Freeze-Fracture Analysis of Plasma Membranes of CHO Cells Stably Expressing Aquaporins 1-5

Several studies suggest that aquaporin water channels can be identified in membranes by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. For this report, Chinese Hamster ovary cells were stably transfected with cDNAs encoding aquaporins 1–5. Measurement of the osmotic water permeability of the cells confirmed that functional protein was expressed and delivered to the plasma membrane. By freeze-fracture electron microscopy, a 20% increase in intramembrane particle (IMP) density was found in plasma membranes of cells expressing AQP2, 3 and 5, and a 100% increase was measured in AQP1-expressing cells, when compared to mock-transfected cells. On membranes of cells expressing AQP4, large aggregates of IMPs were organized into orthogonal arrays, which occupied 10–20% of the membrane surface. IMP aggregates were never seen in AQP2-transfected cells. Hexagonally packed IMP clusters were detected in ∼5% of the membranes from AQP3-expressing cells. Particle size-distribution analysis of rotary shadowed IMPs showed a significant shift from 13.5 (control cells) to 8.5 nm or less in AQP-expressing cells; size distribution analysis of unidirectionally shadowed IMPs also showed a significant change when compared to control. Some IMPs in AQP expressing cells had features consistent with the idea that aquaporins are assembled as tetramers. The results demonstrate that in transfected CHO cells, AQP transfection modifies the general appearance and number of IMPs on the plasma membrane, and show that only AQP4 assembles into well-defined IMP arrays.

The Cell-based L-Glutathione Protection Assays to Study Endocytosis and Recycling of Plasma Membrane Proteins

Membrane trafficking involves transport of proteins from the plasma membrane to the cell interior (i.e. endocytosis) followed by trafficking to lysosomes for degradation or to the plasma membrane for recycling. The cell based L-glutathione protection assays can be used to study endocytosis and recycling of protein receptors, channels, transporters, and adhesion molecules localized at the cell surface. The endocytic assay requires labeling of cell surface proteins with a cell membrane impermeable biotin containing a disulfide bond and the N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester at 4 ºC - a temperature at which membrane trafficking does not occur. Endocytosis of biotinylated plasma membrane proteins is induced by incubation at 37 ºC. Next, the temperature is decreased again to 4 ºC to stop endocytic trafficking and the disulfide bond in biotin covalently attached to proteins that have remained at the plasma membrane is reduced with L-glutathione. At this point, only proteins that were endocytosed remain protected from L-glutathione and thus remain biotinylated. After cell lysis, biotinylated proteins are isolated with streptavidin agarose, eluted from agarose, and the biotinylated protein of interest is detected by western blotting. During the recycling assay, after biotinylation cells are incubated at 37 °C to load endocytic vesicles with biotinylated proteins and the disulfide bond in biotin covalently attached to proteins remaining at the plasma membrane is reduced with L-glutathione at 4 ºC as in the endocytic assay. Next, cells are incubated again at 37 °C to allow biotinylated proteins from endocytic vesicles to recycle to the plasma membrane. Cells are then incubated at 4 ºC, and the disulfide bond in biotin attached to proteins that recycled to the plasma membranes is reduced with L-glutathione. The biotinylated proteins protected from L-glutathione are those that did not recycle to the plasma membrane.     

NAD+ Glycohydrolase of the Plasma Membrane Prepared from Glial and Neuronal Cells

NAD+ glycohydrolase (EC 3.2.2.5) activity was detected in the plasma membrane prepared from the primary culture of rat astrocytes. The enzyme has a broad optimum pH range. From the kinetic analysis, a Michaelis constant of 91.2 microM and a maximum velocity of 0.785 mumol/min/mg protein were obtained. ADPribose exhibited a competitive inhibition with respect to NAD. The inhibition by nicotinamide was shown to be of a non-competitive type. ATP and GTP were found to be competitive inhibitors. NAD+ glycohydrolase activity was not detected in the plasma membrane prepared from the primary culture of neuronal cells of chick embryos.     

The Ca2+ Pump of the Plasma Membrane of Arabidopsis thaliana: Characteristics and Sensitivity to Fluorescein Derivatives

The transport and hydrolytic activities of the plasma membrane (PM) Ca²⁺ pump were characterized in a PM fraction purified from seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana by the aqueous two-phase partitioning technique. Ca²⁺ uptake could be energized by ATP and by ITP (at about 70% the rate sustained by ATP). This characteristic was used to measure the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme as Ca²⁺-dependent ITPase activity. The PM Ca²⁺ pump displayed a broad pH optimum around pH 7.2, was drastically inhibited by erythrosin B (EB), and was half-saturated by 60 μM ITP. It was stimulated by CaM, specially at low, non-saturating Ca²⁺ concentrations. All of these characteristics closely resemble those of the PM Ca²⁺ pump in other plant materials. Analysis of the effects of EB and other fluorescein derivatives (eosin Y and rose bengal) showed that: i) EB behaved as a competitive inhibitor with respect to ITP; ii) the PM Ca²⁺ pump was drastically inhibited by concentrations of fluorescein derivatives (submicromolar), much lower than those required to inhibit the PM H⁺-ATPase; iii) the different fluorescein derivatives were diversely efficient in inhibiting the activities of the Ca²⁺ pump and of the H⁺-ATPase of the PM (eosin Y was about 10000-fold, EB 1000-fold and rose bengal only 50-fold more active on the Ca²⁺ pump than on the H⁺-ATPase); and iv) the effectiveness of EB in inhibiting the Ca²⁺ pump was strongly affected by the protein concentration in the assay medium.     

The Relation between Membrane Potential and the Transport Activity of Systems a and L in Plasma Membrane Vesicles of the Ehrlich Cell

Plasma membrane vesicles isolated from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells have been used to investigate the role of the transmembrane potential in the energetics of Systems A and L. As expected, Na⁺-dependent System A was responsive to changes in membrane potential. System L activity, as measured by transport of 2-aminonorbornane-2-carboxylic acid (BCH), was shown to be Na⁺-independent and was not altered by changes in the membrane potential. The combination of valinomycin and nigericin decreased accumulation of MeAIB but not that of BCH. The presence of nigericin alone caused a significant decrease in uptake by System A and a decrease in uptake by System L to a lesser degree. The inhibitory action of nigericin might reflect its ability to dissipate the Na⁺ gradient rather than an effect on K⁺ or H⁺ flows. The results indicate that modes of energization not produced through the transmembrane potential must account for any uphill operation of System L.

Activity of Plasma Membrane H<Superscript>+</Superscript>-ATPase in Coleoptile Cells during Development of Maize Seedlings

Hydrolytic activities of the H⁺-ATPase were compared for plasma membrane fractions isolated from coleoptile cells of 3-, 4-, and 5-day-old etiolated maize seedlings. The membrane preparations obtained by differential centrifugation were additionally purified in the gradient of sucrose density and in the polyethylene glycol-dextran system. The highest level of ATP-hydrolyzing activity was observed in the plasmalemma fraction obtained from 4-day-old seedlings. The pattern of age-dependent changes in H⁺-ATPase activity of the plasma membranes was clearly different from the monotonic deceleration of coleoptile cell elongation in the period examined. It is supposed that changes in ATPase activity reflect different regulatory roles of this principal ion-transporting enzyme of the plasma membrane at the stage of cell elongation and at a later developmental stage when the coleoptile has completed its physiological function.__________Translated from Fiziologiya Rastenii, Vol. 52, No. 4, 2005, pp. 566–572.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Rudashevskaya, Kirpichnikova, Shishova.
