The transient receptor potential (TRP) channel TRPC3 TRP domain and AMP-activated protein kinase binding site are required for TRPC3 activation by erythropoietin.

ABSTRACT: Modulation of intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) by erythropoietin (Epo) is an important signaling pathway controlling erythroid proliferation and differentiation. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels TRPC3 and homologous TRPC6 are expressed on normal human erythroid precursors, but Epo stimulates an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) through TRPC3 but not TRPC6. Here, the role of specific domains in the different responsiveness of TRPC3 and TRPC6 to erythropoietin was explored. TRPC3 and TRPC6 TRP domains differ in seven amino acids. Substitution of five amino acids (DDKPS) in the TRPC3 TRP domain with those of TRPC6 (EERVN) abolished the Epo-stimulated increase in [Ca(2+)](i). Substitution of EERVN in TRPC6 TRP domain with DDKPS in TRPC3 did not confer Epo responsiveness. However, substitution of TRPC6 TRP with DDKPS from TRPC3 TRP, as well as swapping the TRPC6 distal C terminus (C2) with that of TRPC3, resulted in a chimeric TRPC6 channel with Epo responsiveness similar to TRPC3. Substitution of TRPC6 with TRPC3 TRP and the putative TRPC3 C-terminal AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) binding site straddling TRPC3 C1/C2 also resulted in TRPC6 activation. In contrast, substitution of the TRPC3 C-terminal leucine zipper motif or TRPC3 phosphorylation sites Ser-681, Ser-708, or Ser-764 with TRPC6 sequence did not affect TRPC3 Epo responsiveness. TRPC3, but not TRPC6, and TRPC6 chimeras expressing TRPC3 C2 showed significantly increased plasma membrane insertion following Epo stimulation and substantial cytoskeletal association. The TRPC3 TRP domain, distal C terminus (C2), and AMPK binding site are critical elements that confer Epo responsiveness. In particular, the TRPC3 C2 and AMPK site are essential for association of TRPC3 with the cytoskeleton and increased channel translocation to the cell surface in response to Epo stimulation.

Project description:The structures, and mechanisms of activation, of plasma membrane intracellular-messenger-activated, non-selective cation channels in animal cells are not well understood. The PC12 adrenal chromaffin cell line is a well-characterized example of a nerve cell. In PC12 cells, 1-oleolyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG), a membrane-permeant analogue of diacylglycerol, initiated the inflow of Ca(2+), Mn(2+) and Sr(2+). Acetylcholine and thapsigargin initiated the inflow of Ca(2+) and Mn(2+), but not of Sr(2+). The activation of bivalent cation inflow by OAG: (i) was mimicked by another membrane-permeant diacylglycerol analogue, 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol, but not by the membrane-impermeant analogue 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonyl-sn-glycerol; (ii) was not blocked by staurosporin or chelerythrine, inhibitors of protein kinase C; (iii) was enhanced by RHC80267 and R50922, inhibitors of diacylglycerol lipase and diacylglycerol kinase respectively; and (iv) was inhibited by extracellular Ca(2+). When OAG was added after acetylcholine, the effect of OAG on Ca(2+) inflow was over-and-above that induced by acetylcholine. 2-Aminoethyl diphenylborate (2-APB) inhibited Ca(2+) inflow initiated by either acetylcholine or thapsigargin, but not that initiated by OAG. Flufenamic acid inhibited OAG-initiated, but not acetylcholine-initiated, Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) inflow. OAG-initiated Ca(2+) inflow was less sensitive to inhibition by SK&F96365 than acetylcholine-initiated Ca(2+) inflow. In polyadenylated RNA prepared from PC12 cells, mRNA encoding TRP (transient receptor potential) proteins 1-6 was detected by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR, and in lysates of PC12 cells the endogenous TRP-6 protein was detected by Western blot analysis. It is concluded that PC12 cells express a diacylglycerol-activated, non-selective cation channel. Expression of this channel function correlates with expression of the TRP-3 and TRP-6 proteins, which have been shown previously to be activated by diacylglycerol when expressed heterologously in animal cells [Hofmann, Obukhov, Schaefer, Harteneck, Gudermann, and Schultz (1999) Nature (London) 397, 259-263].
