Methyl-beta-cyclodextrin but not retinoic acid reduces EAAT3-mediated glutamate uptake and increases GTRAP3-18 expression 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The Na+-dependent glutamate transporter EAAT3 facilitates glutamate uptake into neurons as well as many other cell types. GTRAP3-18 (JWA, Arl6ip5) is a novel protein that interacts with EAAT3 and negatively modulates EAAT3-mediated glutamate uptake. Previous studies suggest that retinoic acid (RA) decreases Na+-dependent glutamate uptake and increases GTRAP3-18 protein expression. However, the RA used in those studies was complexed with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MebetaCD). In the present study we found that MebetaCD, but not RA, significantly reduced Na+-dependent EAAT3-mediated [3H]glutamate uptake in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. MebetaCD also significantly increased GTRAP3-18 protein expression in HEK293 cells as well as in rat hypothalamic neuron cultures. Intracerebroventricular administration of MebetaCD to the mouse brain resulted in a significant increase in GTRAP3-18 immunoreactivity in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. In conclusion, we have shown that MebetaCD reduces EAAT3-mediated glutamate uptake and induces the expression of GTRAP3-18 protein. 相似文献

Modulation of neuronal glutathione synthesis by EAAC1 and its interacting protein GTRAP3-18 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Glutathione (GSH) plays essential roles in different processes such as antioxidant defenses, cell signaling, cell proliferation,
and apoptosis in the central nervous system. GSH is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. The concentration
of cysteine in neurons is much lower than that of glutamate or glycine, so that cysteine is the rate-limiting substrate for
neuronal GSH synthesis. Most neuronal cysteine uptake is mediated through the neuronal sodium-dependent glutamate transporter,
known as excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC1). Glutamate transporters are vulnerable to oxidative stress and EAAC1 dysfunction
impairs neuronal GSH synthesis by reducing cysteine uptake. This may start a vicious circle leading to neurodegeneration.
Intracellular signaling molecules functionally regulate EAAC1. Glutamate transporter-associated protein 3-18 (GTRAP3-18) activation
down-regulates EAAC1 function. Here, we focused on the interaction between EAAC1 and GTRAP3-18 at the plasma membrane to investigate
their effects on neuronal GSH synthesis. Increased level of GTRAP3-18 protein induced a decrease in GSH level and, thereby,
increased the vulnerability to oxidative stress, while decreased level of GTRAP3-18 protein induced an increase in GSH level
in vitro. We also confirmed these results in vivo. Our studies demonstrate that GTRAP3-18 regulates neuronal GSH level by
controlling the EAAC1-mediated uptake of cysteine. 相似文献

The endoplasmic reticulum exit of glutamate transporter is regulated by the inducible mammalian Yip6b/GTRAP3-18 protein 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ruggiero AM Liu Y Vidensky S Maier S Jung E Farhan H Robinson MB Sitte HH Rothstein JD 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2008,283(10):6175-6183
GTRAP3-18 interacts with and reduces the activity of the neuronal specific Na(+)/K(+) glutamate transporter, EAAC1 both in vitro and in vivo. GTRAP3-18 and the related isoform, JM4, are distant relatives of the Rab GTPase-interacting factor PRA1, and share a topology of four transmembrane domains and cytosolic termini. GTRAP3-18 and JM4 are resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins. The physiological role of GTRAP3-18 is poorly understood. We demonstrate for the first time that GTRAP3-18 is a regulator of ER protein trafficking. Expression of GTRAP3-18 delays the ER exit of EAAC1, as well as other members of the excitatory amino acid transporter family. GTRAP3-18 uses hydrophobic domain interactions in the ER membrane to self-associate and cytoplasmic interactions at the C terminus to regulate trafficking. The features of GTRAP3-18 activity are consistent with recent phylogenic sequence analyses suggesting GTRAP3-18 and JM4 be reclassified as mammalian isoforms of the yeast protein family Yip, Yip6b, and Yip6a, respectively. 相似文献

Modulation of the neural glutamate transporter EAAC1 by the addicsin-interacting protein ARL6IP1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Addicsin (Arl6ip5) is a murine homologue of rat glutamate transporter-associated protein 3-18 (GTRAP3-18), a putative negative modulator of Na+-dependent neural glutamate transporter-excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC1). Here we report that ADP-ribosylation factor-like 6 interacting protein 1 (Arl6ip1) is a novel addicsin-associated partner that indirectly promotes EAAC1-mediated glutamate transport activity in a protein kinase C activity-dependent manner. Like addicsin, Arl6ip1 is expressed in numerous tissues and proved likely to be co-localized with addicsin in certain neurons in the matured brain. Arl6ip1 was not translocated from the subcellular compartments under any of the test conditions and had no association with any molecules on the plasma membrane. Immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated that Arl6ip1 bound directly to addicsin and that the hydrophobic region located at amino acids 103-117 of addicsin was crucial to the formation of the Arl6ip1-addicsin heterodimer and addicsin homodimer. Glutamate transport assay revealed that increasing the expression of Arl6ip1 in C6BU-1 cells markedly enhanced Na+-dependent EAAC1-mediated glutamate transport activity in the presence of 100 nm phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Under these conditions, kinetic analyses demonstrated that EAAC1 altered glutamate transport activity by increasing its glutamate affinity but not its maximal velocity. Meanwhile, increasing expression of addicsin Y110A/L112A mutant lacking binding ability for Arl6ip1 showed no enhancement of EAAC1-mediated glutamate transport activity, regardless of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate activation, suggesting that association between addicsin and Arl6ip1 causes altered EAAC1-mediated glutamate transport activity. Our findings suggest that Arl6ip1 is a novel addicsin-associated partner that promotes EAAC1-mediated glutamate transport activity by decreasing the number of addicsin molecules available for interaction with EAAC1. 相似文献

Increased ammonium (NH(4)(+)/NH(3)) in the brain is a significant factor in the pathophysiology of hepatic encephalopathy, which involves altered glutamatergic neurotransmission. In glial cell cultures and brain slices, glutamate uptake either decreases or increases following acute ammonium exposure but the factors responsible for the opposing effects are unknown. Excitatory amino acid transporter isoforms EAAT1, EAAT2, and EAAT3 were expressed in Xenopus oocytes to study effects of ammonium exposure on their individual function. Ammonium increased EAAT1- and EAAT3-mediated [(3)H]glutamate uptake and glutamate transport currents but had no effect on EAAT2. The maximal EAAT3-mediated glutamate transport current was increased but the apparent affinities for glutamate and Na(+) were unaltered. Ammonium did not affect EAAT3-mediated transient currents, indicating that EAAT3 surface expression was not enhanced. The ammonium-induced stimulation of EAAT3 increased with increasing extracellular pH, suggesting that the gaseous form NH(3) mediates the effect. An ammonium-induced intracellular alkalinization was excluded as the cause of the enhanced EAAT3 activity because 1) ammonium acidified the oocyte cytoplasm, 2) intracellular pH buffering with MOPS did not reduce the stimulation, and 3) ammonium enhanced pH-independent cysteine transport. Our data suggest that the ammonium-elicited uptake stimulation is not caused by intracellular alkalinization or changes in the concentrations of cotransported ions but may be due to a direct effect on EAAT1/EAAT3. We predict that EAAT isoform-specific effects of ammonium combined with cell-specific differences in EAAT isoform expression may explain the conflicting reports on ammonium-induced changes in glial glutamate uptake. 相似文献

JM4 is a four-transmembrane protein binding to the CCR5 receptor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a major co-receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and CCR5 mutants lacking the carboxy (C)-terminus interfere with HIV infection. Therefore, we analysed the C-terminus of CCR5 and here describe Jena-Muenchen 4 (JM4), a novel CCR5-interacting protein. JM4 is membrane-associated, co-precipitates with CCR5, and is ubiquitously expressed. It shares about 62% sequence similarity with JWA and glutamate transporter-associated protein 3-18 (GTRAP3-18), a regulator of an amino acid transporter. JWA, like JM4, is a four-transmembrane protein, which binds to the CCR5 receptor. Furthermore, JM4, JWA, and GTRAP3-18 co-localise and heterodimerise indicating a functional relationship. JM4 co-localises with calnexin in the endoplasmic reticulum and with the mannose 6-phosphate receptor in the Golgi. JM4 and GTRAP3-18 harbor a Rab-acceptor motif, indicating a function in vesicle formation at the Golgi complex. In conclusion, we describe a CCR5-interacting protein, which is suggested to function in trafficking and membrane localisation of the receptor, possibly also other receptors or amino acid transporters. 相似文献

Reticulon RTN2B regulates trafficking and function of neuronal glutamate transporter EAAC1 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are the primary regulators of extracellular glutamate concentrations in the central nervous system. Their dysfunction may contribute to several neurological diseases. To date, five distinct mammalian glutamate transporters have been cloned. In brain, EAAC1 (excitatory amino acid carrier 1) is the primary neuronal glutamate transporter, localized on the perisynaptic membranes that are near release sites. Despite its potential importance in synaptic actions, little is known concerning the regulation of EAAC1 trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cell surface. Previously, we identified an EAAC1-associated protein, GTRAP3-18, an ER protein that prevents ER exit of EAAC1 when induced. Here we show that RTN2B, a member of the reticulon protein family that mainly localizes in the ER and ER exit sites interacts with EAAC1 and GTRAP3-18. EAAC1 and GTRAP3-18 bind to different regions of RTN2B. Each protein can separately and independently form complexes with EAAC1. RTN2B enhances ER exit and the cell surface composition of EAAC1 in heterologous cells. Expression of short interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of RTN2B decreases the EAAC1 protein level in neurons. Overall, our results suggest that RTN2B functions as a positive regulator in the delivery of EAAC1 from the ER to the cell surface. These studies indicate that transporter exit from the ER controlled by the interaction with its ER binding partner represents a critical regulatory step in glutamate transporter trafficking to the cell surface. 相似文献

In the present study, we investigated the role of membrane cholesterol in the function of glutamate transporters. Depletion of membrane cholesterol by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin resulted in reduced Na(+)-dependent glutamate uptake in primary cortical cultures. Glial glutamate transporter EAAT2-mediated uptake was more sensitive to this effect. Cell surface biotinylation and immunostaining experiments revealed that the loss of cholesterol significantly altered the trafficking of EAAT2 to the plasma membrane as well as their membrane distribution. These effects were also observed in neuronal glutamate transporter EAAT3 but to a lesser extent. Furthermore, the treatment of mouse brain plasma membrane vesicles with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin resulted in a significant reduction in glutamate uptake, suggesting that cholesterol depletion has a direct effect on the function of the glutamate transporters. Plasma membrane cholesterol is localized within discreet microdomains known as lipid rafts. Analyses of purified lipid raft microdomains revealed that a large portion of total EAAT2 and a minor portion of total EAAT1, EAAT3, and EAAT4 were associated with lipid rafts. Artificial aggregation of lipid rafts in vivo resulted in the formation of larger EAAT2-immunoreactive clusters on the cell surface. The purified lipid raft-associated fractions were capable of Na(+)-dependent glutamate uptake. Our data suggest that the glutamate transporters, especially EAAT2, are associated with cholesterol-rich lipid raft microdomains of the plasma membrane and that the association with these cholesterol-rich microdomains is important for excitatory amino acid transporter localization and function. 相似文献

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) limit glutamatergic signaling and maintain extracellular glutamate concentrations below neurotoxic levels. Of the five known EAAT isoforms (EAATs 1–5), only the neuronal isoform, EAAT3 (EAAC1), can efficiently transport the uncharged amino acid L-cysteine. EAAT3-mediated cysteine transport has been proposed to be a primary mechanism used by neurons to obtain cysteine for the synthesis of glutathione, a key molecule in preventing oxidative stress and neuronal toxicity. The molecular mechanisms underlying the selective transport of cysteine by EAAT3 have not been elucidated. Here we propose that the transport of cysteine through EAAT3 requires formation of the thiolate form of cysteine in the binding site. Using Xenopus oocytes and HEK293 cells expressing EAAT2 and EAAT3, we assessed the transport kinetics of different substrates and measured transporter-associated currents electrophysiologically. Our results show that L-selenocysteine, a cysteine analog that forms a negatively-charged selenolate ion at physiological pH, is efficiently transported by EAATs 1–3 and has a much higher apparent affinity for transport when compared to cysteine. Using a membrane tethered GFP variant to monitor intracellular pH changes associated with transport activity, we observed that transport of either L-glutamate or L-selenocysteine by EAAT3 decreased intracellular pH, whereas transport of cysteine resulted in cytoplasmic alkalinization. No change in pH was observed when cysteine was applied to cells expressing EAAT2, which displays negligible transport of cysteine. Under conditions that favor release of intracellular substrates through EAAT3 we observed release of labeled intracellular glutamate but did not detect cysteine release. Our results support a model whereby cysteine transport through EAAT3 is facilitated through cysteine de-protonation and that once inside, the thiolate is rapidly re-protonated. Moreover, these findings suggest that cysteine transport is predominantly unidirectional and that reverse transport does not contribute to depletion of intracellular cysteine pools. 相似文献

Glutamate transporter associated protein 3–18 (GTRAP3-18) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized protein belonging to the prenylated rab-acceptor-family interacting with small Rab GTPases, which regulate intracellular trafficking events. Its impact on secretory trafficking has not been investigated. We report here that GTRAP3-18 has an inhibitory effect on Rab1, which is involved in ER-to-Golg trafficking. The effects on the early secretory pathway in HEK293 cells were: reduction of the rate of ER-to-Golgi transport of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG), slowed accumulation of a Golgi marker plasmid in pre-Golgi structures after Brefeldin A treatment and inhibition of cargo concentration of the neuronal glutamate transporter excitatory amino-acid carrier 1 (EAAC1) into transpor complexes in HEK293 cells, an effect that could be completely reversed in the presence of an excess of Rab1. In accordance with the known role of Rab1 in neurite formation, overexpression of GTRAP3-18 significantly inhibited the length of outgrowing neurites in differentiated CAD cells. The inhibitory effect of GTRAP3-18 on neurite growth was rescued by co-expression with Rab1, supporting the conclusion that GTRAP 3-18 acted by inhibiting Rab1 action. Finally, we hypothesized that expression of GTRAP3-18 in the brain shoul be lower at stages of active synaptogenesis compared to early developmental stages. This was the case as expression of GTRAP3-18 declined from E17 to P0 and adult rat brains. Thus, we propose a model where protein trafficking and neuronal differentiation are directly linked by the interaction of Rab1 and its regulator GTRAP3-18. 相似文献

EAAT4 (SLC1A6) is a Purkinje-Cell-specific post-synaptic excitatory amino acid transporter that plays a major role in clearing synaptic glutamate. EAAT4 abundance and function is known to be modulated by the serum and glucocorticoid inducible kinase (SGK) 1 but the precise mechanism of kinase action has not been defined yet. The present work aims to identify the molecular mechanism of EAAT4 modulation by the kinase. The EAAT4 sequence bears two putative SGK1 consensus sites (at Thr40 and Thr504) at the amino and carboxy terminus that are conserved among species. Expression studies in Xenopus oocytes demonstrated that EAAT4-mediated [(3)H] glutamate uptake and cell surface abundance are enhanced by co-expression of SGK1. Disruption of the SGK1 phosphorylation site at threonine 40 ((T40A)EAAT4) or of both phosphorylation sites ((T40AT504A)EAAT4) abrogated the effect of SGK1 on transporter function and expression. SGK1 modulates several transport proteins via inhibition of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2. Co-expression of Nedd4-2 inhibited wild-type EAAT4 but not the (T40AT504A)EAAT4 mutant. Besides, RNA interference-mediated reduction of endogenous Nedd4-2 (xNedd4-2) expression increased the activity of the transporter. In conclusion, maximal glutamate transport modulation by SGK1 is accomplished by direct EAAT4 stimulation and to a lesser extent by inhibition of intrinsic Nedd4-2. 相似文献

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) not only sustain a secondary active glutamate transport but also function as anion-selective ion channels. The relative proportion of currents generated by glutamate transport or by the chloride conductance varies for each cloned EAAT subtype. For EAAT1, EAAT2, and EAAT3, the anion current is only a small component of the total transporter-associated current amplitude, whereas EAAT4 and EAAT5 transporters mediate predominantly anion currents. We here demonstrate that the distinct current proportions are entirely due to differences in glutamate transport rates. EAAT3 and EAAT4 differ in unitary glutamate transport rates as well as in the voltage and substrate dependence of anion channel opening, but ion conduction properties are very similar. Noise analysis revealed identical unitary current amplitudes and similar absolute open probabilities for the two anion channels. The low glutamate transport rate of EAAT4 allows regulation of cellular excitability without interfering with extracellular glutamate homeostasis and makes this EAAT isoform ideally suited to regulate excitability in dendritic spines of Purkinje neurons. 相似文献
