运动调节神经细胞自噬改善阿尔茨海默病

自噬作为细胞内的一种分解代谢途径,可将胞质中异常聚集的蛋白质、受损细胞器及其他细胞成分转运至溶酶体进行降解,以维持蛋白质稳态和细胞代谢平衡。研究表明,阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer’s disease, AD)脑内β淀粉样蛋白(amyloid-β, Aβ)沉积、Tau蛋白异常磷酸化和突触可塑性失调与细胞自噬紊乱有关。适宜的运动能够调节神经细胞自噬水平和抑制AD动物脑内的多种病变,但具体机制尚不明确。综述近期研究成果发现,运动可能通过以下途径保护大脑和改善AD:(1)运动可以激活AMP依赖的蛋白激酶(AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK)和抑制哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR)信号诱导自噬启动,提高自噬流和自噬溶酶体的降解,从而促进Aβ和磷酸化Tau蛋白的自噬清除。(2)运动增加脑内脑源性神经营养因子(brain-derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF)表达,经由BDNF/酪氨酸激酶受体B(tyrosine kinase receptor B, TrkB)信号,以及磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶(phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases, PI3K)/蛋白质丝氨酸苏氨酸激酶(protein-serine-threonine kinase, AKT)信号途径调节自噬流,从而介导BDNF诱导的突触可塑性。(3)运动可能通过调节神经细胞自噬,维持神经递质稳态和突触传递。

skittles,a Drosophila phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase,is required for cell viability,germline development and bristle morphology,but not for neurotransmitter release.

The phosphatidylinositol pathway is implicated in the regulation of numerous cellular functions and responses to extracellular signals. An important branching point in the pathway is the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate by the phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) to generate the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-phosphate (PIP2). PIP5K and PIP2 have been implicated in signal transduction, cytoskeletal regulation, DNA synthesis, and vesicular trafficking. We have cloned and generated mutations in a Drosophila PIP5K type I (skittles). Our analysis indicates that skittles is required for cell viability, germline development, and the proper structural development of sensory bristles. Surprisingly, we found no evidence for PIP5KI involvement in neural secretion.     

A unique phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase is activated by ADP-ribosylation factor in Plasmodium falciparum

In eukaryotes, calcium signalling has been linked to hydrolysis of the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P₂). The final enzyme in the synthesis of this phosphoinositide, a Type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K), is activated by the small G protein ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1). In mammals, the ARF-PIP5K pathway is a key regulator of cell motility, secretion and cell signalling. We report the characterisation of a unique, putative bifunctional PIP5K in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The protein comprises a C-terminal, functional PIP5K domain with catalytic specificity for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate. The recombinant enzyme is activated by ARF1 but not phosphatidic acid. The protein also incorporates an unusual N-terminal domain with potential helix-loop-helix EF-hand-like motifs that is a member of the neuronal calcium sensor family (NCS). Intriguingly, NCS-1 has been shown to stimulate phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate synthesis by activating mammalian and yeast phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase β in vitro in a calcium-dependent manner. The unexpected physical attachment of an NCS-like domain to the plasmodial PIP5K might reflect a unique functional link between the calcium and PtdIns(4,5)P₂ pathways allowing modulation of PtdIns(4,5)P₂ production in response to changes in intracellular calcium concentrations within the parasite.     

Phosphatidic acid regulates the affinity of the murine phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase-Ibeta for phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate

Type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PI4P5K) catalyzes the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate [PI(4)P] at carbon 5, producing phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. Phosphatidic acid (PA) activates PI4P5K in vitro and plays a central role in the activation of PIP5K pathways in vivo. This report demonstrates that actin fiber formation in murine fibroblasts involves PA activation of PIP5Ks and defines biochemical interactions between PA and the PIP5Ks. Inhibition of phospholipase D production of PA results in the loss of actin fibers. Overexpression of the beta isoform of the type I murine phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (mPIP5K-Ibeta) maintains actin fiber structure in the face of phospholipase D inhibition. PA activates mPIP5K-Ibeta by direct binding to mPIP5K-Ibeta through both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, with the fatty acid acyl chain length and degree of saturation acting as critical determinants of binding and activation. Furthermore, kinetic analysis suggests that phosphorylation of the PI(4)P substrate does not follow classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Instead, the kinetic data are consistent with a model in which mPIP5K-Ibeta initially binds to the lipid micelle and subsequently binds the PI(4)P substrate. In addition, the kinetics indicate substrate inhibition, suggesting that mPIP5K-Ibeta contains an inhibitory PI(4)P-binding site. These results suggest a model in which mPIP5K-Ibeta is surrounded by PI(4)P, but is unable to catalyze its conversion to PI(4,5)P2 unless PA is bound.     

Nonradioactive analysis of phosphatidylinositides and other anionic phospholipids by anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP(2)) modulates the function of numerous ion transporters and channels, as well as cell signaling and cytoskeletal proteins. To study PIP(2) levels of cells without radiolabeling, we have developed a new method to quantify anionic phospholipid species. Phospholipids are extracted and deacylated to glycero-head groups, which are then separated by anion-exchange HPLC and detected by suppressed conductivity measurements. The major anionic head groups can be quantified in single runs with practical detection limits of about 100 pmol, and the D3 isoforms of phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) and PIP(2) are detected as shoulder peaks. In HeLa, Hek 293 and COS cells, as well as intact heart, PIP(2) amounts to 0.5 to 1.5% of total anionic phospholipid (10 to 30 micromol/liter cell water or 0.15 to 0.45 nmol/mg protein). In cell cultures, overexpression of Type I PIP5-kinase specifically increases PIP(2), whereas overexpression of Type II PI4-kinase can increase both PIP and PIP(2). Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP(3)) and the D3 isomers of PIP(2) are detected after treatment of cells with pervanadate; in yeast, overexpression of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (VPS34) specifically increases phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P). Using isolated cardiac membranes, lipid kinase and lipid phosphatase activities can be monitored with the same methods. Upon addition of ATP, PIP increases while PIP(2) remains low; exogenous PIP(2) is rapidly degraded to PIP and phosphatidylinositol (PI). In summary, the HPLC methods described here can be used to probe multiple aspects of phosphatidylinositide (Ptide) metabolism without radiolabeling.     

Activation of type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase isoforms by the Rho GTPases, RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42

Type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) catalyzes the formation of the phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)), which is implicated in many cellular processes. The Rho GTPases, RhoA and Rac1, have been shown previously to activate PIP5K and to bind PIP5K. Three type I PIP5K isoforms (Ialpha,Ibeta, and Igamma) have been identified; however, it is unclear whether these isoforms are differentially or even sequentially regulated by Rho GTPases. Here we show that RhoA and Rac1, as well as Cdc42, but not the Ras-like GTPases, RalA and Rap1A, markedly stimulate PIP(2) synthesis by all three PIP5K isoforms expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells, both in vitro and in vivo. RhoA-stimulated PIP(2) synthesis by the PIP5K isoforms was mediated by the RhoA effector, Rho-kinase. Stimulation of PIP5K isoforms by Rac1 and Cdc42 was apparently independent of and additive with RhoA- and Rho-kinase, as shown by studies with C3 transferase and Rho-kinase mutants. RhoA, and to a lesser extent Rac1, but not Cdc42, interacted in a nucleotide-independent form with all three PIP5K isoforms. Binding of PIP5K isoforms to GTP-bound, but not GDP-bound, RhoA could be displaced by Rho-kinase, suggesting a direct and constitutive PIP5K-Rho GTPase binding, which, however, does not trigger PIP5K activation. In summary, our findings indicate that synthesis of PIP(2) by the three PIP5K isoforms is controlled by RhoA, acting via Rho-kinase, as well as Rac1 and Cdc42, implicating that regulation of PIP(2) synthesis has a central position in signaling by these three Rho GTPases.     

Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and Arf6-regulated membrane traffic

ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) 6 regulates the movement of membrane between the plasma membrane (PM) and a nonclathrin-derived endosomal compartment and activates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP 5-kinase), an enzyme that generates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Here, we show that PIP2 visualized by expressing a fusion protein of the pleckstrin homology domain from PLCdelta and green fluorescent protein (PH-GFP), colocalized with Arf6 at the PM and on tubular endosomal structures. Activation of Arf6 by expression of its exchange factor EFA6 stimulated protrusion formation, the uptake of PM into macropinosomes enriched in PIP2, and recycling of this membrane back to the PM. By contrast, expression of Arf6 Q67L, a GTP hydrolysis-resistant mutant, induced the formation of PIP2-positive actin-coated vacuoles that were unable to recycle membrane back to the PM. PM proteins, such as beta1-integrin, plakoglobin, and major histocompatibility complex class I, that normally traffic through the Arf6 endosomal compartment became trapped in this vacuolar compartment. Overexpression of human PIP 5-kinase alpha mimicked the effects seen with Arf6 Q67L. These results demonstrate that PIP 5-kinase activity and PIP2 turnover controlled by activation and inactivation of Arf6 is critical for trafficking through the Arf6 PM-endosomal recycling pathway.     

Hypertonic stress increases phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate levels by activating PIP5KIbeta

Hyperosmotic stress increases phosphoinositide levels, reorganizes the actin cytoskeleton, and induces multiple acute and adaptive physiological responses. Here we showed that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) level increased rapidly in HeLa cells during hypertonic treatment. Depletion of the human type I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase beta isoform (PIP5KIbeta) by RNA interference impaired both the PIP(2) and actin cytoskeletal responses. PIP5KIbeta was recruited to membranes and was activated by hypertonic stress through Ser/Thr dephosphorylation. Calyculin A, a protein phosphatase 1 inhibitor, blocked the hypertonicity-induced PIP5KIbeta dephosphorylation/activation as well as PIP(2) increase in cells. Urea, which raises osmolarity without inducing cell shrinkage, did not promote dephosphorylation nor increase PIP(2) levels. Disruption or stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton, or inhibition of the Rho kinase, did not block the PIP(2) increase nor PIP5KIbeta dephosphorylation. Therefore, PIP5KIbeta is dephosphorylated in a volume-dependent manner by a calyculin A-sensitive protein phosphatase, which is activated upstream of actin remodeling and independently of Rho kinase activation. Our results establish a cause-and-effect relation between PIP5KIbeta dephosphorylation, lipid kinase activation, and PIP(2) increase in cells. This PIP(2) increase can orchestrate multiple downstream responses, including the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.     

Stereo-specific substrate recognition by phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases is swapped by changing a single amino acid residue.

Type I and type II phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) kinases generate the lipid second messenger phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4,5-bisphosphate and thus play fundamental roles in the regulation of many cellular processes. Although the two kinase families are highly homologous, they phosphorylate distinct substrates and are functionally non-redundant. Type I PIP kinases phosphorylate PtdIns 4-phosphate at the D-5 hydroxyl group and are consequently PtdIns 4-phosphate 5-kinases. By contrast, type II PIP kinases are PtdIns 5-phosphate 4-kinases that phosphorylate PtdIns 5-phosphate at the D-4 position. Type I PIP kinases, in addition, also phosphorylate other phosphoinositides in vitro and in vivo and thus have the potential to generate multiple lipid second messengers. To understand how these enzymes differentiate between stereoisomeric substrates, we used a site-directed mutagenesis approach. We show that a single amino acid substitution in the activation loop, A381E in IIbeta and the corresponding mutation E362A in Ibeta, is sufficient to swap substrate specificity between these PIP kinases. In addition to its role in substrate specificity, the type I activation loop is also key in subcellular targeting. The Ibeta(E362A) mutant and other mutants with reduced PtdIns 4-phosphate binding affinity were largely cytosolic when expressed in mammalian cells in contrast to wild-type Ibeta which targets to the plasma membrane. These results clearly establish the role of the activation loop in determining both signaling specificity and plasma membrane targeting of type I PIP kinases.     

Regulation of PIP5K activity by Arf6 and its physiological significance

The phospholipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) catalyzes the phosphorylation of the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate to generate the pleiotropic phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2) ]. To date, three mammalian PIP5K isozymes, α, β, and γ, and several splicing variants of the γ isozyme have been identified. These PIP5K isozymes and PIP5Kγ variants play critical roles in various cellular functions through their product PI(4,5)P(2) . The small GTPase Arf6 is one of the key activators of PIP5K. Increasing evidence suggests that PIP5K functions as a downstream effector of Arf6 to regulate a wide variety of cellular functions, such as exocytosis, endocytosis, endosomal recycling, membrane ruffle formation, immune response, and bacterial invasion. In this review, we place our focus on the recent advances in Arf6/PIP5K signaling and its linkage to cellular functions.     

Lethal contractural syndrome type 3 (LCCS3) is caused by a mutation in PIP5K1C, which encodes PIPKI gamma of the phophatidylinsitol pathway

Lethal congenital contractural syndrome (LCCS) is a severe form of arthrogryposis. To date, two autosomal recessive forms of the disease (LCCS and LCCS2) have been described and mapped to chromosomes 9q34 and 12q13, respectively. We now describe a third LCCS phenotype (LCCS3)--similar to LCCS2 yet without neurogenic bladder. Using 10K single-nucleotide-polymorphism arrays, we mapped the disease-associated gene to 8.8 Mb on chromosome 19p13. Further analysis using microsatallite markers narrowed the locus to a 3.4-Mb region harboring 120 genes. Of these genes, 30 candidates were sequenced, which identified a single homozygous mutation in PIP5K1C. PIP5K1C encodes phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase, type I, gamma (PIPKI gamma ), an enzyme that phophorylates phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate to generate phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)). We demonstrate that the mutation causes substitution of aspartic acid with asparagine at amino acid 253 (D253N), abrogating the kinase activity of PIPKI gamma . Thus, a defect in the phosphatidylinositol pathway leading to a decrease in synthesis of PIP(2), a molecule active in endocytosis of synaptic vesicle proteins, culminates in lethal congenital arthrogryposis.
