Mechanistic similarities in docking of the FYVE and PX domains to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate containing membranes.

ABSTRACT: Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P], a phospholipid produced by PI 3-kinases in early endosomes and multivesicular bodies, often serves as a marker of endosomal membranes. PtdIns(3)P recruits and activates effector proteins containing the FYVE or PX domain and therefore regulates a variety of biological processes including endo- and exocytosis, membrane trafficking, protein sorting, signal transduction and cytoskeletal rearrangement. Structures and PtdIns(3)P binding modes of several FYVE and PX domains have recently been characterized, unveiling the molecular basis underlying multiple cellular functions of these proteins. Here, structural and functional aspects and current mechanisms of the multivalent membrane anchoring by the FYVE and PX domains are reviewed and compared.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate recognition and membrane docking by the FYVE domain.

Project description:The FYVE domain is a small zinc binding module that recognizes phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P], a phospholipid enriched in membranes of early endosomes and other endocytic vesicles. It is usually present as a single module or rarely as a tandem repeat in eukaryotic proteins involved in a variety of biological processes including endo- and exocytosis, membrane trafficking and phosphoinositide metabolism. A number of FYVE domain-containing proteins are recruited to endocytic membranes through the specific interaction of their FYVE domains with PtdIns(3)P. Structures and PtdIns(3)P binding modes of several FYVE domains have recently been characterized, shedding light on the molecular basis underlying multiple cellular functions of these proteins. Here, structural and functional aspects and the current mechanism of the multivalent membrane anchoring by monomeric or dimeric FYVE domain are reviewed. This mechanism involves stereospecific recognition of PtdIns(3)P that is facilitated by non-specific electrostatic contacts and modulated by the histidine switch, and is accompanied by hydrophobic insertion. Contributions of each component to the FYVE domain specificity and affinity for PtdIns(3)P-containing membranes are discussed.

Increased mobility in the membrane targeting PX domain induced by phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate.

Project description:Phosphoinositides (PIs) are concentrated in specific subcellular membranes in order to recruit and regulate cytosolic proteins responsible for vesicular trafficking, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and eukaryotic cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Phox homology (PX) domains are found in proteins that are integral players in endocytic pathways. For example, Vam7p is targeted by its PX domain to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] in the yeast vacuole, where it interacts with other SNARE proteins and GTPases of the vesicular membrane fusion machinery. Although several PX structures have been solved, the role of dynamics in their interactions with membrane lipids is unclear. Here, we present the first detailed characterization of the backbone dynamics of a PX domain, that of Vam7p, in the presence and absence of its ligand. The structure appears to tumble more rapidly in solution upon binding PtdIns(3)P, revealing a conformational change that includes adjustments in the flexible membrane insertion loop (MIL). The flexibilities of the MIL and domain termini are pronounced in both states, while the alpha1 and alpha2 helices are rigid. Dynamic effects are spread across the binding pocket, with PtdIns(3)P inducing altered mobility of different residues on multiple timescales, including a shift in the MIL to slower timescale motions. The bound state is more dynamic overall, particularly in the beta-sheet lobe, which packs against the ligand's 3-phosphate. Thus, the induced dynamic and structural effects are transduced from the buried heart of the binding pocket in the helical lobe through the beta-sheet lobe to the exposed surface of the bilayer-inserted protein.

VIPP1 rods engulf membranes containing phosphatidylinositol phosphates.

Project description:In cyanobacteria and plants, VIPP1 plays crucial roles in the biogenesis and repair of thylakoid membrane protein complexes and in coping with chloroplast membrane stress. In chloroplasts, VIPP1 localizes in distinct patterns at or close to envelope and thylakoid membranes. In vitro, VIPP1 forms higher-order oligomers of >1 MDa that organize into rings and rods. However, it remains unknown how VIPP1 oligomerization is related to function. Using time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy and sucrose density gradient centrifugation, we show here that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii VIPP1 binds strongly to liposomal membranes containing phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P). Cryo-electron tomography reveals that VIPP1 oligomerizes into rods that can engulf liposomal membranes containing PI4P. These findings place VIPP1 into a group of membrane-shaping proteins including epsin and BAR domain proteins. Moreover, they point to a potential role of phosphatidylinositols in directing the shaping of chloroplast membranes.

Cellular functions of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and FYVE domain proteins.

Project description:PtdIns3P is a phosphoinositide 3-kinase product that has been strongly implicated in regulating membrane trafficking in both mammalian and yeast cells. PtdIns3P has been shown to be specifically located on membranes associated with the endocytic pathway. Proteins that contain FYVE zinc-finger domains are recruited to PtdIns3P-containing membranes. Structural information is now available concerning the interaction between FYVE domains and PtdIns3P. A number of proteins have been identified which contain a FYVE domain, and in this review we discuss the functions of PtdIns3P and its FYVE-domain-containing effector proteins in membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal regulation and receptor signalling.

α-synuclein and phosphoinositide-binding proteins: α-synuclein inhibits the association of PX- but not FYVE-containing proteins with vesicles in vivo.

Project description:By an unknown mechanism, alpha-synuclein (α-syn) inhibits autophagy in yeast and human cells. Herein, using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we tested the hypothesis that α-syn disrupts autophagy by inhibiting the required association of sorting nexin 4 (Snx4) with phagophores. Snx4 contains a phox (PX) homology domain that selectively binds membranes enriched in phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P). Using fluorescence microscopy, we show that upon nitrogen starvation, 70% of the cells exhibited green puncta (phagophores); whereas identically treated cells expressing α-syn exhibited a significantly lower percentage of cells (30%) with such puncta. Our interpretation is that α-syn outcompetes Snx4 for binding to membranes enriched in PI3P, resulting in fewer phagophores and consequently inefficient induction of autophagy. As a control, we tested whether α-syn disrupts the binding of Vps27-GFP to late endosomes/multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Vps27 contains a PI3P-binding domain called FYVE. α-Syn did not disrupt the binding of Vps27-GFP to late endosomes. α-Syn likely inhibits the binding of PX- but not FYVE-containing proteins to PI3P because FYVE domains bind more than two-orders of magnitude tighter than PX domains. We propose that in all cells, whether yeast or human, α-syn has the potential to inhibit protein trafficking pathways that are dependent on PX-domain proteins such as sorting nexins.

Characterization of a novel phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate-binding protein containing two FYVE fingers in tandem that is targeted to the Golgi.

Project description:We have identified a novel protein of predicted molecular mass 40 kDa that contains two FYVE domains in tandem and has therefore been named TAFF1 (TAndem FYVE Fingers-1). The protein is expressed predominantly in heart and binds to PtdIns3P specifically, even though the FYVE domains in TAFF1 lacks the first Arg of the consensus sequence R(K/R)HHCR, critical for the PtdIns3P binding of other FYVE domains identified so far. The first Arg is replaced by a Thr and Ser in the N-terminal and C-terminal FYVE domains of TAFF1 respectively. Mutational analysis indicates that both FYVE domains are required for high affinity binding to PtdIns3P. Cell localization studies using a green fluorescent protein fusion show that TAFF1 is localized to the Golgi, and that the Golgi targeting sequence is located within the N-terminal 187 residues and not in either FYVE domain.

Study of Legionella Effector Domains Revealed Novel and Prevalent Phosphatidylinositol 3-Phosphate Binding Domains.

Project description:Legionella pneumophila and other Legionella species replicate intracellularly using the Icm/Dot type IV secretion system. In L. pneumophila this system translocates >300 effectors into host cells and in the Legionella genus thousands of effectors were identified, the function of most of which is unknown. Fourteen L. pneumophila effectors were previously shown to specifically bind phosphoinositides (PIs) using dedicated domains. We found that PI-binding domains of effectors are usually not homologous to one another; they are relatively small and located at the effectors' C termini. We used the previously identified Legionella effector domains (LEDs) with unknown function and the above characteristics of effector PI-binding domains to discover novel PI-binding LEDs. We identified three predicted PI-binding LEDs that are present in 14 L. pneumophila effectors and in >200 effectors in the Legionella genus. Using an in vitro protein-lipid overlay assay, we found that 11 of these L. pneumophila effectors specifically bind phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P), almost doubling the number of L. pneumophila effectors known to bind PIs. Further, we identified in each of these newly discovered PI3P-binding LEDs conserved, mainly positively charged, amino acids that are essential for PI3P binding. Our results indicate that Legionella effectors harbor unique domains, shared by many effectors, which directly mediate PI3P binding.

Association of Peripheral Membrane Proteins with Membranes: Free Energy of Binding of GRP1 PH Domain with Phosphatidylinositol Phosphate-Containing Model Bilayers.

Project description:Understanding the energetics of peripheral protein-membrane interactions is important to many areas of biophysical chemistry and cell biology. Estimating free-energy landscapes by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is challenging for such systems, especially when membrane recognition involves complex lipids, e.g., phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs). We combined coarse-grained MD simulations with umbrella sampling to quantify the binding of the well-explored GRP1 pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to model membranes containing PIP molecules. The experimentally observed preference of GRP1-PH for PIP3 over PIP2 was reproduced. Mutation of a key residue (K273A) within the canonical PIP-binding site significantly reduced the free energy of PIP binding. The presence of a noncanonical PIP-interaction site, observed experimentally in other PH domains but not previously in GRP1-PH, was also revealed. These studies demonstrate how combining coarse-grained simulations and umbrella sampling can unmask the molecular basis of the energetics of interactions between peripheral membrane proteins and complex cellular membranes.

Muscleblind-like proteins use modular domains to localize RNAs by riding kinesins and docking to membranes

Project description:RNA transport and local translation provide spatial control of gene expression, and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) act as critical adapters in this multi-step process. Muscleblind-like (MBNL) RNA binding proteins, implicated in Myotonic Dystrophy and cancer, localize RNAs to myoblast membranes and distal neurites, through unknown mechanisms. We found that MBNLs form motile and anchored granules in neurons and myoblasts, and selectively associate with kinesins Kif1bα and Kif1c through its zinc finger (ZnF) domains. Other RBPs with similar ZnFs also associate with these kinesins, implicating a motor-RBP specificity code. Live cell imaging and fractionation revealed that membrane anchoring is mediated through the unstructured carboxy-terminal tail of MBNL1. Both kinesin- and membrane-recruitment functions were reconstituted using MBNL-MS2 coat protein fusions; this approach, termed RBP Module Recruitment and Imaging (RBP-MRI), decouples RNA binding, kinesin recruitment, and membrane anchoring functions, while also establishing general strategies for studying multi-functional, modular domains of RBPs.

Histones cause aggregation and fusion of lipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate.

Project description:In a previous article, we demonstrated that histones (H1 or histone octamers) interact with negatively charged bilayers and induce extensive aggregation of vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) and, to a lesser extent, vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol (PI). Here, we found that vesicles containing PIP, but not those containing PI, can undergo fusion induced by histones. Fusion was demonstrated through the observation of intervesicular mixing of total lipids and inner monolayer lipids, and by ultrastructural and confocal microscopy studies. Moreover, in both PI- and PIP-containing vesicles, histones caused permeabilization and release of vesicular aqueous contents, but the leakage mechanism was different (all-or-none for PI and graded release for PIP vesicles). These results indicate that histones could play a role in the remodeling of the nuclear envelope that takes place during the mitotic cycle.
