Members of the syntaxin family are target-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors involved in vesicle docking and/or fusion within the exocytic and endocytotic pathways. By using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have identified a novel member of the syntaxin family, syntaxin 18, that binds to alpha-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein. Subcellular fractionation and immunocytochemical analysis revealed that syntaxin 18 is principally located in the endoplasmic reticulum. We examined the effect of overexpression of FLAG-tagged syntaxin 18 and a mutant lacking the N-terminal 81 amino acid residues on protein transport and organelles in the early secretory pathway. Both expressed proteins localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, and the expressed FLAG-syntaxin 18 caused remarkable aggregation of endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Although expression of the FLAG-syntaxin 18 lacking the N-terminal region produced less effect on the morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum, dispersion of the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment and cis-Golgi was elicited. Moreover, overexpression of the FLAG-syntaxin 18 mutant inhibited protein export from the endoplasmic reticulum. These results taken together suggest that syntaxin 18 functions in transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. 相似文献

Summary The hormone-induced pigment dispersion in primary cultures of xanthophores of goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) has been shown to involve the dispersion of not only carotenoid droplets but also of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The dispersion of these organelles is inhibited by cytochalasin B and is accompanied by thinning of the cell body, thickening of the processes, and also overall changes in cellular morphology (process extension) under certain conditions. Electron microscopic examination of heavy meromyosin treated glycerinated xanthophores in scales revealed the presence of actin filaments in these cells.This work was supported, in part, by grants AM-5384 and AM-13724 from U.S.P.H.S. 相似文献

Bax inhibitor-1 is a conserved protein which suppresses endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis and regulates calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum. Recent studies have revealed that adipogenesis, the process of adipocyte differentiation, is influenced by a change of intracellular calcium concentration. Here, we examined the effect of endoplasmic reticulum calcium regulation by Bax inhibitor-1 on adipogenesis using 3T3-L1 preadipocytes stably transfected with a pcDNA3-BI-1-HA plasmid. Bax inhibitor-1 functionality was confirmed by inhibiting the thapsigargin-induced increase of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers. Bax inhibitor-1 overexpression did not alter normal process of adipogenesis. Thapsigargin treatment inhibited adipogenesis in control cells, but Bax inhibitor-1 overexpressing 3T3-L1 cells retained their adipogenesis function. Endoplasmic reticulum stress did not seem to be involved in thapsigargin-reduced adipogenesis, since other endoplasmic reticulum stress inducers, such as tunicamycin and dithiothreitol, did not suppress the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. Bax inhibitor-1 might affect adipogenesis through regulating cytosolic calcium, because the thapsigargin-induced robust intracellular calcium rise was not observed in Bax inhibitor-1 overexpressing 3T3-L1 cells. A23187, a calcium ionophore, showed the same effect on adipogenesis as thapsigargin. Taken together, Bax inhibitor-1 overexpression in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes inhibits calcium mobilizing agent-induced suppression of adipogenesis. As adipogenesis is dependent on a change of intracellular calcium concentration, endoplasmic reticulum calcium regulation by Bax inhibitor-1 may play an important role in adipogenesis process. 相似文献

Inhibitors of protein synthesis capable of differential effects on nascent peptide synthesis on membrane-bound and free polyribosomes were employed to investigate the structure and function of cellular membranes of liver. The formation of membranous whorls in the cytoplasm and distension of nuclear membranes were induced by inhibitors of protein synthesis (i.e., cycloheximide and emetine) which predominantly interfere with nascent peptide synthesis on membrane-bound polyribosomes in situ. Other inhibitors of protein synthesis such as puromycin and fusidic acid, which inhibit nascent peptide synthesis on both free and membrane-bound polyribosomes, and chloramphenicol, which inhibits mitochondrial protein synthesis, did not induce these alterations. Cycloheximide, puromycin, and chloramphenicol produce some common cellular lesions as reflected by similar alterations in morphology, such as swelling of mitochondria, degranulation of rough endoplasmic reticulum, and aggregation of free ribosomes. The process of whorl formation in the cytoplasm, the incorporation of [3H]leucine and of [3H]choline into endoplasmic reticulum and the total NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity of the endoplasmic reticulum were determined. During maximum formation of membranous whorls, [3H]leucine incorporation into cytoplasmic membranes was inhibited, while [3H]choline incorporation into these structures was increased; maximum inhibition of protein synthesis and stimulation of choline incorporation into endoplasmic reticulum, however, preceded whorl formation. Cycloheximide decreased the activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase of rough endoplasmic reticulum, but increased NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, cycloheximide decreased the content of hemoprotein in both the microsomal and mitochondrial fractions of rat liver, and the activities of mixed function oxidase and of oxidative phosphorylation were impaired to different degrees. Succinate-stimulated microsomal oxidation was also inhibited. The possible mechanisms involved in the formation of membranous whorls, as well as their functions, are discussed. 相似文献

p125, a mammalian Sec23p-interacting protein, exhibits sequence homology with bovine testis phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A(1). In this study, we identified and characterized a new homologue of p125, KIAA0725p. KIAA0725p exhibited remarkable sequence similarity with p125 throughout the entire sequence determined but lacked an N-terminal proline-rich, Sec23p-interacting region. In vitro binding analysis showed that KIAA0725p does not bind to Sec23p. KIAA0725p possessed phospholipase A(1) activity preferentially for phosphatidic acid. We examined the effects of overexpression of KIAA0725p on the morphology of organelles. Overexpression of KIAA0725p, like that of p125, caused dispersion of the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment and Golgi apparatus. Different from the case of p125, overexpression of KIAA0725p resulted in dispersion of tethering proteins located in the Golgi region and caused aggregation of the endoplasmic reticulum. Our results indicate that KIAA0725p is a new member of the phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A(1) protein family and suggest that the cellular function of KIAA0725p is different from that of p125. 相似文献

Storage proteins of wheat grains (Triticum L. em Thell) are deposited in protein bodies inside vacuoles. However, the subcellular sites and mechanisms of their aggregation into protein bodies are not clear. In the present report, we provide evidence for two different types of protein bodies, low- and high-density types that accumulate concurrently and independently in developing wheat endosperm cells. Gliadins were present in both types of protein bodies, whereas the high molecular weight glutenins were localized mainly in the dense ones. Pulse-chase experiments verified that the dense protein bodies were not formed by a gradual increase in density but, presumably, by a distinct, quick process of storage protein aggregation. Subcellular fractionation and electron microscopy studies revealed that the wheat homolog of immunoglobulin heavy-chain-binding protein, an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein, was present within the dense protein bodies, implying that these were formed by aggregation of storage proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum. The present results suggest that a large part of wheat storage proteins aggregate into protein bodies within the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Because these protein bodies are too large to enter the Golgi, they are likely to be transported directly to vacuoles. This route may operate in concert with the known Golgi-mediated transport to vacuoles in which the storage proteins apparently condense into protein bodies at a postendoplasmic reticulum location. Our results further suggest that although gliadins are transported by either one of these routes, the high molecular weight glutenins use only the Golgi bypass route. 相似文献

The structure and distribution of cytoplasmic membranes during mitosis and cytokinesis in maize root tip meristematic cells was investigated by low and high voltage electron microscopy. The electron opacity of the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was enhanced by staining the tissue in a mixture of zinc iodide and osmium tetroxide. Thin sections show the nuclear envelope to disassemble at prophase and become indistinguishable from the surrounding ER and polar aggregations of ER. In thick sections under the high voltage electron microscope the spindle is seen to be surrounded by a mass of tubular (TER) and cisternal (CER) endoplasmic reticulum derived from both the nuclear envelope and ER, which persists through metaphase and anaphase. At anaphase strands of TER traverse the spindle between the arms of the chromosomes. The octagonal nuclear pore complexes disappear by metaphase, but irregular-shaped pores persist in the membranes during mitosis. It is suggested that these form a template for pore-complex reformation during telophase. Phragmoplast formation is preceded by an aggregation of TER across the spindle at anaphase. Evidence is presented to suggest that the formation of the desmotubule of a plasmodesma is by the squeezing of a strand of endoplasmic reticulum between the vesicles of the cell plate.Abbreviations CER

GTP hydrolysis by an endoplasmic reticulum fraction from rat liver enriched in part-rough, part-smooth transition elements was inhibited by all-trans-retinol half maximally at a concentration of about 10 micrograms/ml. Similar results were obtained with GTPase activity partially purified by ion-exchange (DE-52) chromatography. The inhibition was non-competitive and given by both retinol and retinaldehyde but not by retinoic acid or alpha-tocopheryl acetate. The hydrolysis of other nucleoside di- and triphosphates was much less affected by retinol. The activity was inhibited by detergents but at much higher concentrations than by retinol. The results suggest that enhancement of cell-free transfer from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus by retinol observed previously at low concentrations of cytosol may be mediated through an interaction with GTP. 相似文献

Interrelationships of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, intermediate filaments, and microtubules--a quadruple fluorescence labeling study. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
To study the interrelationships of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, we have developed a quadruple fluorescence labeling procedure to visualize all four structures in the same cell. We applied this approach to study cellular organization in control cells and in cells treated with the microtubule drugs vinblastine or taxol. Endoplasmic reticulum was visualized by staining glutaraldehyde-fixed cells with the dye 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide. After detergent permeabilization, triple immunofluorescence was carried out to specifically visualize mitochondria, vimentin intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Mitochondria in human fibroblasts were found to be highly elongated tubular structures (lengths up to greater than 50 microns), which in many cases were apparently fused to each other. Mitochondria were always observed to be associated with endoplasmic reticulum, although endoplasmic reticulum also existed independently. Intermediate filament distribution could not completely account for endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondrial distributions. Microtubules, however, always codistributed with these organelles. Microtubule depolymerization in vinblastine treated cells resulted in coaggregation of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and in the collapse of intermediate filaments. The spatial distributions of organelles compared with intermediate filaments were not identical, indicating that attachment of organelles to intermediate filaments was not responsible for organelle aggregation. Mitochondrial associations with endoplasmic reticulum, on the other hand, were retained, indicating this association was stable regardless of endoplasmic reticulum form or microtubules. In taxol-treated cells, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and intermediate filaments were all associated with taxol-stabilized microtubule bundles. 相似文献

Summary The ultrastructural distribution of a number of phosphatases and aryl sulphatase has been studied in BHK 21/C 13, BHK21/J 1 and CHO cells grown in culture. In all three cell lines acid -glycerophosphatase and aryl sulphatase appear to be confined to lysosomes and elements of the Golgi apparatus and glucose-6-phosphatase to the endoplasmic reticulum. With thiamine pyrophosphate at pH 7.0 in CHO cells reaction product is present in lysosomes, the Golgi apparatus, the endoplasmic reticulum and on the cell surface. Preincubation at acid pH reduces the reactions in the endoplasmic reticulum but enhances the surface activity. At pH 5.0 and pH 7.0 in CHO cells p-nitrophenylphosphatase is present in lysosomes, the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum and this activity is inhibited by sodium fluoride. p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity is also present on the cell surface of CHO cells and this activity is not inhibited by sodium fluoride. No activity could be demonstrated in any cells at pH 9.O. The significance of these results is discussed with respect to the possible role of surface acid phosphatase in the process of transformation. 相似文献

Excess cellular cholesterol induces apoptosis in macrophages, an event likely to promote progression of atherosclerosis. The cellular mechanism of cholesterol-induced apoptosis is unknown but had previously been thought to involve the plasma membrane. Here we report that the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the endoplasmic reticulum is activated in cholesterol-loaded macrophages, resulting in expression of the cell death effector CHOP. Cholesterol loading depletes endoplasmic reticulum calcium stores, an event known to induce the UPR. Furthermore, endoplasmic reticulum calcium depletion, the UPR, caspase-3 activation and apoptosis are markedly inhibited by selective inhibition of cholesterol trafficking to the endoplasmic reticulum, and Chop-/- macrophages are protected from cholesterol-induced apoptosis. We propose that cholesterol trafficking to endoplasmic reticulum membranes, resulting in activation of the CHOP arm of the UPR, is the key signalling step in cholesterol-induced apoptosis in macrophages. 相似文献

Previous data from our laboratory showed that the reticulum of the sea cucumber smooth muscle body wall retains both a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) and a sulfated polysaccharide. In this invertebrate, the transport of Ca(2+) by the SERCA is naturally inhibited by these endogenous sulfated polysaccharides. The inhibition is reverted by K(+) leading to an enhancement of the Ca(2+) transport rate. We now show that vesicles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum of unfertilized eggs from the sea urchin Arbacia lixula retain a SERCA that is able to transport Ca(2+) at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. As described for the sea cucumber SERCA isoform, the enzyme from the sea urchin is activated by K(+) but not by Li(+) and is inhibited by thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of SERCA. A new sulfated polysaccharide was identified in the sea urchin eggs reticulum composed mainly by galactose, glucose, hexosamine and manose. After extraction and purification, this sulfated polysaccharide was able to inhibit the mammal SERCA isoform found in rabbit skeletal muscle and the inhibition is reversed by K(+). These data suggest that the regulation of the SERCA pump by K(+) and sulfated polysaccharides is not restricted to few marine invertebrates but is widespread. 相似文献

Inflammation plays an important pathogenic role in a number of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. The activation of inflammation in these diseases depends at least in part on the combined actions of TLR4 signaling and endoplasmic reticulum stress, which by acting in concert can boost the inflammatory response. Defining the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon may unveil potential targets for the treatment of metabolic/inflammatory diseases. Here we used LPS to induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in the human monocyte cell-line, THP-1. The unfolded protein response, produced after LPS, was dependent on CD14 activity but not on RNA-dependent protein kinase and could be inhibited by an exogenous chemical chaperone. The induction of the endoplasmic reticulum resident chaperones, GRP94 and GRP78, by LPS was of a much lower magnitude than the effect of LPS on TLR4 and MD-2 expression. In face of this apparent insufficiency of chaperone expression, we induced the expression of GRP94 and GRP78 by glucose deprivation. This approach completely reverted endoplasmic reticulum stress. The inhibition of either GRP94 or GRP78 with siRNA was sufficient to rescue the protective effect of glucose deprivation on LPS-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress. Thus, insufficient LPS-induced chaperone expression links TLR4 signaling to endoplasmic reticulum stress. 相似文献

Endoplasmic reticulum stress is defined as the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, and is caused by conditions such as heat or agents that cause endoplasmic reticulum stress, including tunicamycin and dithiothreitol. Autophagy, a major pathway for degradation of macromolecules in the vacuole, is activated by these stress agents in a manner dependent on inositol‐requiring enzyme 1b (IRE1b), and delivers endoplasmic reticulum fragments to the vacuole for degradation. In this study, we examined the mechanism for activation of autophagy during endoplasmic reticulum stress in Arabidopsis thaliana. The chemical chaperones sodium 4–phenylbutyrate and tauroursodeoxycholic acid were found to reduce tunicamycin‐ or dithiothreitol‐induced autophagy, but not autophagy caused by unrelated stresses. Similarly, over‐expression of BINDING IMMUNOGLOBULIN PROTEIN (BIP), encoding a heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) molecular chaperone, reduced autophagy. Autophagy activated by heat stress was also found to be partially dependent on IRE1b and to be inhibited by sodium 4–phenylbutyrate, suggesting that heat‐induced autophagy is due to accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Expression in Arabidopsis of the misfolded protein mimics zeolin or a mutated form of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY*) also induced autophagy in an IRE1b‐dependent manner. Moreover, zeolin and CPY* partially co‐localized with the autophagic body marker GFP–ATG8e, indicating delivery to the vacuole by autophagy. We conclude that accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum is a trigger for autophagy under conditions that cause endoplasmic reticulum stress. 相似文献

Autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the vasopressin precursor protein, prepro-vasopressin-neurophysin II. We analyzed the molecular consequences of a mutation (DeltaG227) recently identified in a Swiss kindred that destroys the translation initiation codon. In COS-7 cells transfected with the mutant cDNA, translation was found to initiate at an alternative ATG, producing a truncated signal sequence that was functional for targeting and translocation but was not cleaved by signal peptidase. The mutant precursor was completely retained within the endoplasmic reticulum. The uncleaved signal did not affect folding of the neurophysin portion of the precursor, as determined by its protease resistance. However, formation of disulfide-linked aggregates indicated that it interfered with the formation of the disulfide bond in vasopressin, most likely by blocking its insertion into the hormone binding site of neurophysin. Preventing disulfide formation in the vasopressin nonapeptide by mutation of cysteine 6 to serine was shown to be sufficient to cause aggregation and retention. These results indicate that the DeltaG227 mutation induces translation of a truncated signal sequence that cannot be cleaved but prevents correct folding and oxidation of vasopressin, thereby causing precursor aggregation and retention in the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

In neurodegenerative diseases, pathogenic proteins tend to misfold and form aggregates that are difficult to remove and able to induce excessive endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, leading to neuronal injury and apoptosis. Homocysteine-induced endoplasmic reticulum protein (Herp), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is an important early marker of ER stress and is involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of many neurodegenerative proteins. However, in Huntington’s disease (HD), a typical polyglutamine disease, whether Herp is also involved in the metabolism and degradation of the pathogenic protein, mutant huntingtin, has not been reported. Therefore, we studied the relationship between Herp and N-terminal fragments of huntingtin (HttN-20Q and HttN-160Q). We found that Herp was able to bind to the overexpressed Htt N-terminal, and this interaction was enhanced by expansion of the polyQ fragment. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that Herp was co-localized with the HttN-160Q aggregates in the cytoplasm and tightly surrounded the aggregates. Overexpression of Herp significantly decreased the amount of soluble and insoluble HttN-160Q, promoted its ubiquitination, and inhibited its cytotoxicity. In contrast, knockdown of Herp resulted in more HttN-160Q protein, less ubiquitination, and stronger cytotoxicity. Inhibition of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) had no effect on the function of Herp. However, blocking the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) inhibited the reduction in soluble HttN-160Q caused by Herp. Interestingly, blocking the UPP did not weaken the ability of Herp to reduce HttN-160Q aggregates. Deletions of the N-terminal of Herp weakened its ability to inhibit HttN-160Q aggregation but did not result in a significant increase in its soluble form. However, loss of the C-terminal led to a significant increase in soluble HttN-160Q, but Herp still maintained the ability to inhibit aggregate formation. We further found that the expression level of Herp was significantly increased in HD animal and cell models. Our findings suggest that Herp is a newly identified huntingtin-interacting protein that is able to reduce the cytotoxicity of mutant huntingtin by inhibiting its aggregation and promoting its degradation. The N-terminal of Herp serves as the molecular chaperone to inhibit protein aggregation, while its C-terminal functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to promote the degradation of misfolded proteins through the UPP. Increased expression of Herp in HD models may be a pro-survival mechanism under stress. 相似文献

Kinectin is an integral membrane protein with many isoforms primarily found on the endoplasmic reticulum. It has been found to bind kinesin, Rho GTPase, and translation elongation factor-1delta. None of the existing models for the quaternary organization of the elongation factor-1 complex in higher eukaryotes involves kinectin. We have investigated here the assembly of the elongation factor-1 complex onto endoplasmic reticulum via kinectin using in vitro and in vivo assays. We established that the entire elongation factor-1 complex can be anchored to endoplasmic reticulum via kinectin, and the interacting partners are as follows. Kinectin binds EF-1delta, which in turn binds EF-1gamma but not EF-1beta; EF-1gamma binds EF-1delta and EF-1beta but not kinectin. In vivo splice blocking of the kinectin exons 36 and 37 produced kinectin lacking the EF-1delta binding domain, which disrupted the membrane localization of EF-1delta, EF-1gamma, and EF-1beta on endoplasmic reticulum, similar to the disruptions seen with the overexpression of kinectin fragments containing the EF-1delta binding domain. The disruptions of the EF-1delta/kinectin interaction inhibited expression of membrane proteins but enhanced synthesis of cytosolic proteins in vivo. These findings suggest that anchoring the elongation factor-1 complex onto endoplasmic reticulum via EF-1delta/kinectin interaction is important for regulating protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. 相似文献

Cress (Lepidium sativum L.) roots were treated with 20 microM cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), an inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-transporting ATPases present in the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum of animals and the endoplasmic reticulum of plants, in order to investigate its effect on the gravitropic response. Root growth was not significantly reduced by the applied dose of CPA, but the gravitropic response (curvature) was drastically inhibited. We hypothesize that the ER Ca(2+)-ATPase of statocytes is involved in transduction of the gravity stimulus and that CPA disturbs a cytosolic Ca2+ signal necessary for graviperception. 相似文献

Protein aggregation has been proved to be a pathological basis accounting for neuronal death caused by either transient global ischemia or oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD), and inhibition of protein aggregation is emerging as a potential strategy of preventing brain damage. Trehalose was found to inhibit protein aggregation caused by neurodegenerative diseases via induction of autophagy, whereas its effect is still elusive on ischemia-induced protein aggregation. In this study, we investigated this issue by using rat model of transient global ischemia and SH-SY5Y model of OGD. We found that pretreatment with trehalose inhibited transient global ischemia-induced neuronal death in the hippocampus CA1 neurons and OGD-induced death in SH-SY5Y cells, which was associated with inhibition of the formation of ubiquitin-labeled protein aggregates and preservation of proteasome activity. In vitro study showed that the protection of trehalose against OGD-induced cell death and protein aggregation in SH-SY5Y cells was reversed when proteasome activity was inhibited by MG-132. Further studies revealed that trehalose prevented OGD-induced reduction of proteasome activity via suppression of both oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Particularly, our results showed that trehalose inhibited OGD-induced autophagy. Therefore, we demonstrated that proteasome dysfunction contributed to protein aggregation caused by ischemic insults and trehalose prevented protein aggregation via preservation of proteasome activity, not via induction of autophagy. 相似文献
