In every synapse, a large number of proteins interact with other proteins in order to carry out signaling and transmission in the central nervous system. In this study, we used interaction proteomics to identify novel synaptic protein interactions in mouse cortical membranes under native conditions. Using immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, and mass spectrometry, we identified a number of novel synaptic protein interactions involving soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein ...[more]

Project description:The large-conductance calcium- and voltage-activated K+ channel (BKCa) are encoded by the Kcnma1 gene. They are ubiquitously expressed in neuronal, smooth muscle, astrocytes, and neuroendocrine cells where they are known to play an important role in physiological and pathological processes. They are usually localized to the plasma membrane of the majority of the cells with an exception of adult cardiomyocytes, where BKCa is known to localize to mitochondria. BKCa channels couple calcium and voltage responses in the cell, which places them as unique targets for a rapid physiological response. The expression and activity of BKCa have been linked to several cardiovascular, muscular, and neurological defects, making them a key therapeutic target. Specifically in the heart muscle, pharmacological and genetic activation of BKCa channels protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury and also facilitate cardioprotection rendered by ischemic preconditioning. The mechanism involved in cardioprotection is assigned to the modulation of mitochondrial functions, such as regulation of mitochondrial calcium, reactive oxygen species, and membrane potential. Here, we review the progress made on BKCa channels and cardioprotection and explore their potential roles as therapeutic targets for preventing acute myocardial infarction.

Project description:The GTPase dynamin has been clearly implicated in clathrin-mediated endocytosis of synaptic vesicle membranes at the presynaptic nerve terminal. Here we describe a novel 52-kDa protein in rat brain that binds the proline-rich C terminus of dynamin. Syndapin I (synaptic, dynamin-associated protein I) is highly enriched in brain where it exists in a high molecular weight complex. Syndapin I can be involved in multiple protein-protein interactions via a src homology 3 (SH3) domain at the C terminus and two predicted coiled-coil stretches. Coprecipitation studies and blot overlay analyses revealed that syndapin I binds the brain-specific proteins dynamin I, synaptojanin, and synapsin I via an SH3 domain-specific interaction. Coimmunoprecipitation of dynamin I with antibodies recognizing syndapin I and colocalization of syndapin I with dynamin I at vesicular structures in primary neurons indicate that syndapin I associates with dynamin I in vivo and may play a role in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Furthermore, syndapin I associates with the neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein, an actin-depolymerizing protein that regulates cytoskeletal rearrangement. These characteristics of syndapin I suggest a molecular link between cytoskeletal dynamics and synaptic vesicle recycling in the nerve terminal.

Project description:Protein complexes exhibit great diversity in protein membership, post-translational modifications and noncovalent cofactors, enabling them to function as the actuators of many important biological processes. The exposition of these molecular features using current methods lacks either throughput or molecular specificity, ultimately limiting the use of protein complexes as direct analytical targets in a wide range of applications. Here, we apply native proteomics, enabled by a multistage tandem MS approach, to characterize 125 intact endogenous complexes and 217 distinct proteoforms derived from mouse heart and human cancer cell lines in discovery mode. The native conditions preserved soluble protein-protein interactions, high-stoichiometry noncovalent cofactors, covalent modifications to cysteines, and, remarkably, superoxide ligands bound to the metal cofactor of superoxide dismutase 2. These data enable precise compositional analysis of protein complexes as they exist in the cell and demonstrate a new approach that uses MS as a bridge to structural biology.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Sulphatides are sulphated glycosphingolipids expressed on the surface of many cell types, particularly neurones. Changes in sulphatide species or content have been associated with epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. As the large conductance, calcium sensitive K(+) channel (BK(Ca)) are modulated by membrane lipids, the aim of the study was to explore possible effects of sulphatides on BK(Ca) channels. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Using patch-clamp techniques, we studied effects of exogenous sulphatides on BK(Ca) channels expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. KEY RESULTS: Sulphatides reversibly increased the whole-cell current and the single channel open probability of BK(Ca) channels dose-dependently. The EC(50) value on the channel at +10 mV was 1.6 microM and the Hill coefficient was 2.5. In inside-out patches, sulphatides increased the single channel open probability from both intra- and extra-cellular faces of the membrane, but more effectively with external application. Furthermore, activation of the channels by sulphatides was independent of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Sulphatides also shifted the activation curve of the channels to less positive membrane potentials. Mutant BK(Ca) channels lacking a 59 aminoacid region important for amphipath activation (STREX) were less activated by the sulphatides. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Sulphatides are novel activators of BK(Ca) channels, independent of intracellular Ca(2+) or other signalling molecules but partly dependent on the STREX sequence of the channel protein. As changes of sulphatide content are associated with neuronal dysfunction, as in epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease, our results imply that these effects of sulphatides may play important pathophysiological roles in regulation of BK(Ca) channels.

Project description:The transient receptor potential melastatin-subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) is a ubiquitously expressed membrane protein consisting of ion channel and protein kinase domains. TRPM7 plays a fundamental role in the cellular uptake of divalent cations such as Zn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+, and thus shapes cellular excitability, plasticity, and metabolic activity. The molecular appearance and operation of TRPM7 channels in native tissues have remained unresolved. Here, we investigated the subunit composition of endogenous TRPM7 channels in rodent brain by multi-epitope affinity purification and high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. We found that native TRPM7 channels are high-molecular-weight multi-protein complexes that contain the putative metal transporter proteins CNNM1-4 and a small G-protein ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 15 (ARL15). Heterologous reconstitution experiments confirmed the formation of TRPM7/CNNM/ARL15 ternary complexes and indicated that complex formation effectively and specifically impacts TRPM7 activity. These results open up new avenues towards a mechanistic understanding of the cellular regulation and function of TRPM7 channels.

Project description:Ethanol modulation of calcium- and voltage-gated potassium (slo1) channels alters neuronal excitability, cerebrovascular tone, brain function, and behavior, yet the mechanism of this modulation remains unknown. Using patch-clamp electrophysiology on recombinant BK(Ca) channels cloned from mouse brain and expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, we demonstrate that ethanol, even at concentrations maximally effective to modulate BK(Ca) channel function (100 mM), fails to gate the channel in absence of activating calcium. Moreover, ethanol does not modify intrinsic, voltage- or physiological magnesium-driven gating. The alcohol works as an adjuvant of calcium by selectively facilitating calcium-driven gating. This facilitation, however, renders differential ethanol effects on channel activity: potentiation at low (<10 microM) and inhibition at high (>10 microM) calcium, this dual pattern remaining largely unmodified by coexpression of brain slo1 channels with the neuronally abundant BK(Ca) channel beta(4) subunit. Calcium recognition by either of the slo1 high-affinity sensors (calcium bowl and RCK1 Asp362/Asp367) is required for ethanol to amplify channel activation by calcium. The Asp362/Asp367 site, however, is necessary and sufficient to sustain ethanol inhibition. This inhibition also results from ethanol facilitation of calcium action; in this case, ethanol favors channel dwelling in a calcium-driven, low-activity mode. The agonist-adjuvant mechanism that we advance from the calcium-ethanol interaction on slo1 might be applicable to data of ethanol action on a wide variety of ligand-gated channels.

Project description:The systemic vasculature exhibits attenuated vasoconstriction following hypobaric chronic hypoxia (CH) that is associated with endothelium-dependent vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cell hyperpolarization. We hypothesized that increased activity of endothelial cell (EC) large-conductance, calcium-activated potassium (BK(Ca)) channels contributes to this response. Gracilis resistance arteries from hypobaric CH (barometric pressure = 380 mmHg for 48 h) rats demonstrated reduced myogenic reactivity and hyperpolarized VSM membrane potential (E(m)) compared with controls under normoxic ex vivo conditions. These differences were eliminated by endothelial disruption. In the presence of cyclooxygenase and nitric oxide synthase inhibition, combined intraluminal administration of the intermediate and small-conductance, calcium-activated K(+) channel blockers TRAM-34 and apamin was without effect on myogenic responsiveness and VSM E(m) in both groups; however, these variables were normalized in CH arteries by intraluminal administration of the BK(Ca) inhibitor iberiotoxin (IBTX). Basal EC E(m) was hyperpolarized in arteries from CH rats compared with controls and was restored by IBTX, but not by TRAM-34/apamin. K(+) channel blockers were without effect on EC basal E(m) in controls. Similarly, IBTX blocked acetylcholine-induced dilation in arteries from CH rats, but was without effect in controls, whereas TRAM-34/apamin eliminated dilation in controls. Acetylcholine-induced EC hyperpolarization and calcium responses were inhibited by IBTX in CH arteries and by TRAM-34/apamin in controls. Patch-clamp experiments on freshly isolated ECs demonstrated greater K(+) current in cells from CH rats that was normalized by IBTX. IBTX was without effect on K(+) current in controls. We conclude that hypobaric CH induces increased endothelial BK(Ca) channel activity that contributes to reduced myogenic responsiveness and EC and VSM cell hyperpolarization.

Project description:Proteins form a diverse array of complexes that mediate cellular function and regulation. A largely unexplored feature of such protein complexes is the selective participation of specific protein isoforms and/or post-translationally modified forms. In this study, we combined native size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) with high-throughput proteomic analysis to characterize soluble protein complexes isolated from human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells. Using this approach, we have identified over 71,500 peptides and 1,600 phosphosites, corresponding to over 8,000 proteins, distributed across 40 SEC fractions. This represents >50% of the predicted U2OS cell proteome, identified with a mean peptide sequence coverage of 27% per protein. Three biological replicates were performed, allowing statistical evaluation of the data and demonstrating a high degree of reproducibility in the SEC fractionation procedure. Specific proteins were detected interacting with multiple independent complexes, as typified by the separation of distinct complexes for the MRFAP1-MORF4L1-MRGBP interaction network. The data also revealed protein isoforms and post-translational modifications that selectively associated with distinct subsets of protein complexes. Surprisingly, there was clear enrichment for specific Gene Ontology terms associated with differential size classes of protein complexes. This study demonstrates that combined SEC/MS analysis can be used for the system-wide annotation of protein complexes and to predict potential isoform-specific interactions. All of these SEC data on the native separation of protein complexes have been integrated within the Encyclopedia of Proteome Dynamics, an online, multidimensional data-sharing resource available to the community.

Project description:The existence of neuron-specific endocytic protein isoforms raises questions about their importance for specialized neuronal functions. Dynamin, a GTPase implicated in the fission reaction of endocytosis, is encoded by three genes, two of which, dynamin 1 and 3, are highly expressed in neurons. We show that dynamin 3, thought to play a predominantly postsynaptic role, has a major presynaptic function. Although lack of dynamin 3 does not produce an overt phenotype in mice, it worsens the dynamin 1 KO phenotype, leading to perinatal lethality and a more severe defect in activity-dependent synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Thus, dynamin 1 and 3, which together account for the overwhelming majority of brain dynamin, cooperate in supporting optimal rates of synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Persistence of synaptic transmission in their absence indicates that if dynamin plays essential functions in neurons, such functions can be achieved by the very low levels of dynamin 2.

Project description:The ability of synapses to sustain signal propagation relies on rapid recycling of transmitter-containing presynaptic vesicles. Clathrin- and dynamin-mediated retrieval of vesicular membrane has an undisputed role in synaptic vesicle recycling. There is also evidence for other modes of vesicle retrieval, including bulk retrieval and the so-called kiss-and-run recycling. Whether dynamin in required for these other modes of synaptic vesicle endocytosis remains unclear. Here, we have tested the role of dynamin in synaptic vesicle endocytosis by using a small molecule called dynasore, which rapidly inhibits the GTPase activity of dynamin with high specificity. Endocytosis after sustained or brief stimuli was completely and reversibly blocked by dynasore in cultured hippocampal neurons expressing the fluorescent tracer synaptopHluorin. By contrast, dynasore had no effect on exocytosis. In the presence of dynasore, low-frequency stimulation led to sustained accumulation of synaptopHluorin and other vesicular proteins on the surface membrane at a rate predicted from net exocytosis. These vesicular components remained on surface membranes even after the stimulus was terminated, suggesting that all endocytic events rely on dynamin during low-frequency activity as well as in the period after it. Ultrastructural analysis revealed a reduction in the density of synaptic vesicles and the presence of endocytic structures only at synapses that were stimulated in the presence of dynasore. In sum, our data indicate that dynamin is essential for all forms of compensatory synaptic vesicle endocytosis including any kiss-and-run events.
