Myo1c binding to submembrane actin mediates insulin-induced tethering of GLUT4 vesicles.

ABSTRACT: GLUT4-containing vesicles cycle between the plasma membrane and intracellular compartments. Insulin promotes GLUT4 exocytosis by regulating GLUT4 vesicle arrival at the cell periphery and its subsequent tethering, docking, and fusion with the plasma membrane. The molecular machinery involved in GLUT4 vesicle tethering is unknown. We show here that Myo1c, an actin-based motor protein that associates with membranes and actin filaments, is required for insulin-induced vesicle tethering in muscle cells. Myo1c was found to associate with both mobile and tethered GLUT4 vesicles and to be required for vesicle capture in the total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) zone beneath the plasma membrane. Myo1c knockdown or overexpression of an actin binding-deficient Myo1c mutant abolished insulin-induced vesicle immobilization, increased GLUT4 vesicle velocity in the TIRF zone, and prevented their externalization. Conversely, Myo1c overexpression immobilized GLUT4 vesicles in the TIRF zone and promoted insulin-induced GLUT4 exposure to the extracellular milieu. Myo1c also contributed to insulin-dependent actin filament remodeling. Thus we propose that interaction of vesicular Myo1c with cortical actin filaments is required for insulin-mediated tethering of GLUT4 vesicles and for efficient GLUT4 surface delivery in muscle cells.

Project description:Agents that activate the G-protein G(i) (e.g. adenosine) increase, and agents that activate G(s) [e.g. isoprenaline (isoproterenol)] decrease, steady-state insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity and cell-surface GLUT4 in isolated rat adipose cells without changing plasma membrane GLUT4 content. Here we have further examined the effects of R(s)G(s) and R(i)G(i) ligands (in which R(s) and R(i) are G(s)- and G(i)-coupled receptors respectively) on insulin-stimulated cell-surface GLUT4 and the kinetics of GLUT4 trafficking in these same cells. Rat adipose cells were preincubated for 2 min with or without isoprenaline (200 nM) and adenosine deaminase (1 unit/ml), to stimulate G(s) and decrease the stimulation of G(i) respectively, followed by 0-20 min with insulin (670 nM). Treatment with isoprenaline and adenosine deaminase decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport activity by 58%. Treatment with isoprenaline and adenosine deaminase also resulted in similar decreases in insulin-stimulated cell-surface GLUT4 as assessed by both bis-mannose photolabelling of the substrate-binding site and biotinylation of the extracellular carbohydrate moiety when evaluated under similar experimental conditions. After stimulation with insulin in the absence of G(s) and the presence of G(i) agents, a distinct sequence of plasma membrane events took place, starting with an increase in immunodetectable GLUT4, then an increase in the accessibility of GLUT4 to bis-mannose photolabel, and finally an increase in glucose transport activity. Pretreatment with isoprenaline and adenosine deaminase before stimulation with insulin did not affect the time course of the increase in immunodetectable GLUT4 in the plasma membrane, but did delay both the increase in accessibility of GLUT4 to photolabel and the increase in glucose transport activity. These results suggest that R(s)G(s) and R(i)G(i) modulate insulin-stimulated glucose transport by influencing the extent to which GLUT4 is associated with occluded vesicles attached to the plasma membrane during exocytosis, perhaps by regulating the fusion process through which the GLUT4 in docked vesicles becomes exposed on the cell surface.
