Project description:We describe new signalling consequences for PPIP5K1 (diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinase type 1)-mediated phosphorylation of InsP6 and 5-InsP7 to 1-InsP7 and InsP8. In NIH 3T3 cells, either hyperosmotic stress or receptor activation by PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) promoted translocation of PPIP5K1 from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. The PBD1 (polyphosphoinositide-binding domain) in PPIP5K1 recapitulated that translocation. Mutagenesis of PBD1 to reduce affinity for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 prevented translocation. Using surface plasmon resonance, we found that PBD1 association with vesicular PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 was inhibited by InsP6 and diphosphoinositol polyphosphates. However, the inhibition by PPIP5K1 substrates (IC50: 5-InsP7=5 μM and InsP6=7 μM) was substantially more potent than that of the PPIP5K1 products (IC50: InsP8=32 μM and 1-InsP7=43 μM). This rank order of ligand competition with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 was also exhibited by the PH (pleckstrin homology) domains of Akt (also known as protein kinase B), GRP1 (general receptor for phosphoinositides 1) and SIN1 (stress-activated protein kinase-interaction protein 1). We propose that, in vivo, PH domain binding of InsP6 and 5-InsP7 suppresses inappropriate signalling ('noise') from stochastic increases in PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. That restraint may be relieved by localized depletion of InsP6 and 5-InsP7 at the plasma membrane following PPIP5K1 recruitment. We tested this hypothesis in insulin-stimulated L6 myoblasts, using mTOR (mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin)-mediated phosphorylation of Akt on Ser473 as a readout for SIN1-mediated translocation of mTORC (mTOR complex) 2 to the plasma membrane [Zoncu, Efeyan and Sabatini (2011) Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 12, 21-35]. Knockdown of PPIP5K1 expression was associated with a 40% reduction in Ser473 phosphorylation. A common feature of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3-based signalling cascades may be their regulation by PPIP5K1.

Project description:Diphosphoinositol phosphates (PP-InsPs) are inositol phosphates (InsPs) that contain PP (diphosphate) groups. Converting a phosphate group in an InsP into a diphosphate has been reported to enhance affinity for some binding proteins. We synthesised 1-PP-Ins(4,5)P2, the first diphosphate analogue of the intracellular signalling molecule InsP3, and examined its effects on InsP3 receptors, which are intracellular Ca2+ channels. 1-PP-Ins(4,5)P2 was indistinguishable from InsP3 in its ability to bind to and activate type 1 InsP3 receptors, indicating that the diphosphate modification of InsP3 affected neither affinity nor efficacy. Nevertheless, 1-PP-Ins(4,5)P2 is the most potent 1-phosphate modified analogue of InsP3 yet identified. PP-InsPs are generally hydrolysed by diphosphoinositol phosphate phosphohydrolases (DIPPs), but 1-PP-Ins(4,5)P2 was not readily metabolised by human DIPPs. Differential scanning fluorimetry showed that 1-PP-Ins(4,5)P2 stabilises DIPP proteins, but to a lesser extent than naturally occurring substrates 1-PP-InsP5 and 5-PP-InsP5. The non-hydrolysable InsP7 analogues 1-PCP-InsP5 and 5-PCP-InsP5 showed comparable stabilising abilities to their natural counterparts and may therefore be promising substrate analogues for co-crystallisation with DIPPs.

Project description:We have used a non-transformed cell model, the primary cultured hepatocyte, to explore the turnover of inositol hexakisphosphate, multiple isomers of inositol pentakisphosphate and two novel diphosphoinositol polyphosphates. All of these compounds gradually accumulated radioactivity throughout a 70 h period of labelling with [3H]inositol. However, a rapid metabolic rate was revealed upon inhibition of diphosphoinositol polyphosphate biphosphatase(s) with 1 mM fluoride for 40 min: this treatment elevated levels of [3H]diphosphoinositol polyphosphates up to 10-fold, indicating that their cellular pools were normally turning over at least 10 times every 40 min. This was accompanied by a turnover of about 10% of the pool of inositol hexakisphosphate. Control experiments established that 200 nM vasopressin brought about a typical activation of phospholipase C in hepatocytes after 62 h of primary culture. This agonist treatment did not affect steady-state levels of [3H]inositol pentakisphosphates, [3H]inositol hexakisphosphate or [3H]diphosphoinositol polyphosphates. However, prolonged treatment of hepatocytes with 2 microM thapsigargin reduced steady-state levels of [3H]diphosphoinositol polyphosphates by 50-70%. This effect of thapsigargin was also observed in the presence of fluoride, indicating that thapsigargin inhibited the rate of synthesis of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates.

Project description:Heparin-binding proteins may contain specific patterns of basic amino acids, called consensus sequences, that interact with heparin. Small peptides were synthesized that contained consensus sequences (i.e. FAKLNCRLYRKANKSSK) or disrupted consensus sequences (i.e. K136-->A) based on the known sequence of antithrombin III (amino acid residues 123-139). These peptides were then examined in both competitive and non-competitive binding experiments using bioassays, fluorescence spectroscopy, affinity chromatography and n.m.r. spectroscopy. Both the consensus and disrupted-consensus peptide bound to heparin. Peptides with consensus sequences bound specifically to the pentasaccharide antithrombin III-binding site within heparin. In contrast, peptides with disrupted consensus sequences showed no specificity, binding to any sequence within heparin. Proton nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy demonstrated the proximity of leucine and tyrosine (within the consensus sequence) to the N-acetyl moiety found primarily within the pentasaccharide antithrombin III-binding site of heparin. This experiment confirmed the findings of the other techniques and helped to localize the binding sites in both peptides and heparin. A model is proposed for both specific and non-specific heparin interaction with consensus and disrupted-consensus peptides.

Project description:Previous structural analyses of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates in biological systems have relied largely on NMR analysis. For example, in Dictyostelium discoideum, diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate was determined by NMR to be 4- and/or 6-PPInsP5, and the bisdiphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate was found to be 4, 5-bisPPInsP4 and/or 5,6-bisPPInsP4 [Laussmann, Eujen, Weisshuhn, Thiel and Vogel (1996) Biochem. J. 315, 715-720]. We now describe three recent technical developments to aid the analysis of these compounds, not just in Dictyostelium, but also in a wider range of biological systems: (i) improved resolution and sensitivity of detection of PPInsP5 isomers by microbore metal-dye-detection HPLC; (ii) the use of the enantiomerically specific properties of a rat hepatic diphosphatase; (iii) chemical synthesis of enantiomerically pure reference standards of all six possible PPInsP5 isomers. Thus we now demonstrate that the major PPInsP5 isomer in Dictyostelium is 6-PPInsP5. Similar findings obtained using the same synthetic standards have been published [Laussmann, Reddy, Reddy, Falck and Vogel (1997) Biochem. J. 322, 31-33]. In addition, we show that 10-25% of the Dictyostelium PPInsP5 pool is comprised of 5-PPInsP5. The biological significance of this new observation was reinforced by our demonstration that 5-PPInsP5 is the predominant PPInsP5 isomer in four different mammalian cell lines (FTC human thyroid cancer cells, Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, Jurkat T-cells and Chinese hamster ovary cells). The fact that the cellular spectrum of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates varies across phylogenetic boundaries underscores the value of our technological developments for future determinations of the structures of this class of compounds in other systems.

Project description:Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Here, we report a severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss locus, DFNB100 on chromosome 5q13.2-q23.2. Exome enrichment followed by massive parallel sequencing revealed a c.2510G>A transition variant in PPIP5K2 that segregated with DFNB100-associated hearing loss in two large apparently unrelated Pakistani families. PPIP5Ks enzymes interconvert 5-IP7 and IP8, two key members of the inositol pyrophosphate (PP-IP) cell-signaling family. Their actions at the interface of cell signaling and bioenergetic homeostasis can impact many biological processes. The c.2510G>A transition variant is predicted to substitute a highly invariant arginine residue with histidine (p.Arg837His) in the phosphatase domain of PPIP5K2. Biochemical studies revealed that the p.Arg837His variant reduces the phosphatase activity of PPIP5K2 and elevates its kinase activity. We found that in mouse inner ear, PPIP5K2 is expressed in the cochlear and vestibular sensory hair cells, supporting cells and spiral ganglion neurons. Mice homozygous for a targeted deletion of the Ppip5k2 phosphatase domain exhibit degeneration of cochlear outer hair cells and elevated hearing thresholds. Our demonstration that PPIP5K2 has a role in hearing in humans indicates that PP-IP signaling is important to hair cell maintenance and function within inner ear.

Project description:Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4] analogues were synthesized and their effects on [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 5-phosphatase, [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 3-phosphatase and [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3] 5-phosphatase activities were examined. The Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 analogue with the aminobenzoyl group at the 2-position of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 inhibited the hydrolysis of 5-phosphate of [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 catalysed by erythrocyte ghosts, with a lower Ki value than seen with Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, whereas the analogue with the aminocyclohexanecarbonyl group at the same position had a higher Ki value. The Ins(1,4,5)P3 analogues that we had previously synthesized were also capable of inhibiting this process, with the same tendency as Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 analogues. Such differences in the potency among Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and Ins(1,4,5)P3 analogues were applicable to other phosphatase activities, namely [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 3-phosphatase and [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3 5-phosphatase. These results suggest that the active sites of these enzymes may catalyse the dephosphorylation in a similar fashion.

Project description:Novel benzene polyphosphates were synthesised as inositol polyphosphate mimics and evaluated against type-I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase, which only binds soluble inositol polyphosphates, and against the PH domain of protein kinase Balpha (PKBalpha), which can bind both soluble inositol polyphosphates and inositol phospholipids. The most potent trisphosphate 5-phosphatase inhibitor is benzene 1,2,4-trisphosphate (2, IC(50) of 14 microM), a potential mimic of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, whereas the most potent tetrakisphosphate Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 5-phosphatase inhibitor is benzene 1,2,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, with an IC(50) of 4 microM. Biphenyl 2,3',4,5',6-pentakisphosphate (4) was the most potent inhibitor evaluated against type I Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 5-phosphatase (IC(50) of 1 microM). All new benzene polyphosphates are resistant to dephosphorylation by type I Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 5-phosphatase. Unexpectedly, all benzene polyphosphates studied bind to the PH domain of PKBalpha with apparent higher affinity than to type I Ins(1,4,5)P(3) 5-phosphatase. The most potent ligand for the PKBalpha PH domain, measured by inhibition of biotinylated diC(8)-PtdIns(3,4)P(2) binding, is biphenyl 2,3',4,5',6-pentakisphosphate (4, K(i)=27 nm). The approximately 80-fold enhancement of binding relative to parent benzene trisphosphate is explained by the involvement of a cation-pi interaction. These new molecular tools will be of potential use in structural and cell signalling studies.

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, identified as SARS-CoV-2, initially established in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019, affects respiratory infections known as COVID-19. In an extraordinary manner, COVID-19 is affecting human life and has transformed a global public health issue into a crisis. Natural products are already recognized owing to the massive advantageous window and efficient antioxidant, antiviral immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory belongings. Additionally, the object of the present study was to demonstrate the inhibitory potential of the natural products coumarins and its analogues alongside SARS coronavirus. The present work, focuses on the synthesis of new coumarin analogues and characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, elemental analyses, and mass spectra. The recently synthesised compounds were projected conceptual association for COVID-19 protease and also to explore in anticipation if this protein will help target protease inhibitor drugs such as Calanolide A, Cardatolide A, Collinin, Inophyllum A, Mesuol, Isomesuol, Pteryxin, Rutamarin, Seselin and Suksdorin. The natural coumarin analogues docking scores were compared to standard Hydroxychloroquine. While the 3D module of SARS coronavirus main protease was predicted with the SWISS MODEL web server, as well as biochemical interaction tests were performed with the AutoDock Vina tool between the target protein with ligands. This research further showed that all the protease inhibitors accessed the target protein with negative dock energy. Molecular docking studies found that the natural coumarin analogue Inophyllum A showed an exceptional potential for inhibition with a binding energy of -8.4 kcal/mol. The synthetic coumarin analogues 1m and 1p both demonstrated a similar binding energy, inhibition potential of -7.9 kcal / mol as opposed to hydroxychloroquine and co-crystallized ligand alpha-ketoamide with binding energy values of -5.8 and -6.6 kcal / mol. All compounds evaluated were known as drug-like in nature, passing Lipinski's "Law of 5" with 0 violations except for alpha-ketoamide, passing Lipinski's "Rule of 5" with 1 violation (MW > 500). The inhibitor binding in silico research thus offers a structural understanding of COVID-19 and molecular interactions across the known protease inhibitors centred on the findings of the multiple sequence alliance.

Project description:T cell-independent (TI) B cell response is critical for the early protection against pathogen invasion. The regulation and activation of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is known as a pivotal step of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling in TI humoral immunity, as observed in patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) experiencing a high incidence of encapsulated bacterial infections. However, key questions remain as to whether a well-established canonical BCR signaling pathway is sufficient to regulate the activity of Btk. Here, we find that inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) acts as a physiological regulator of Btk in BCR signaling. Absence of higher order inositol phosphates (InsPs), inositol polyphosphates, leads to an inability to mount immune response against TI antigens. Interestingly, the significance of InsP6-mediated Btk regulation is more prominent in IgM+ plasma cells. Hence, the present study identifies higher order InsPs as principal components of B cell activation upon TI antigen stimulation and presents a mechanism for InsP-mediated regulation of the BCR signaling.
