Systematic spatial mapping of proteins at exocytic and endocytic structures.

ABSTRACT: Vesicular secretion (exocytosis) involves the release and then compensatory recycling of vesicle components through endocytosis. This fundamental cellular process is controlled by the coordinated assembly and interactions of dozens of proteins at the plasma membrane. Understanding the molecular composition of individual exocytic and endocytic structures and their organization across the plasma membrane is critical to understanding the behavior and regulation of these two cellular processes. Here we develop a high-resolution and high-throughput fluorescence imaging-based approach for the unbiased mapping of 78 proteins at single exocytic vesicles and endocytic structures in neuroendocrine PC12 cells. This analysis uses two-color single-frame images to provide a systems-level map of the steady-state distributions of proteins at individual exocytic and endocytic structures in the cell. Along with this quantitative map, we find that both calcium-regulated exocytic vesicles (dense core vesicles) and endocytic structures (clathrin-coated structures) and the proteins associated with these structures exhibit a random spatial distribution in unstimulated neuroendocrine PC12 cells. This approach is broadly applicable for quantitatively mapping the molecular composition and spatial organization of discrete cellular processes with central molecular hubs.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is a widely prevalent parasite of animals and humans that causes a broad spectrum of conditions ranging from asymptomatic or mild cold-like infections to abortion, severe ocular disease, encephalitis, and sometimes death. It is a member of the phylum Apicomplexa that also includes such significant human pathogens as Plasmodium spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. causing malaria and diarrheal disease, respectively. The toxoplasma cell has a multilayered pellicle: under the plasma membrane lies the inner membrane complex (IMC) comprised of flat membrane sacks supported by cortical microtubules and a meshwork of cytoskeletal filaments. The IMC acts as a mechanical barrier for membrane vesicles trafficking to and from the plasma membrane, necessitating the existence of dedicated cites for endo- and exocytosis where the IMC is interrupted. One such site is located at the apical end of the cell where the contents of the apical secretory organelles is exocytosed upon invasion. However, endocytosis in Toxoplasma and other apicomplexans is poorly understood, although conspicuous invaginations of the plasma membrane observed microscopically have been dubbed the micropore and postulated to be involved in endocytosis. We found that the endocytic markers including the subunits α and μ of the AP2 adaptor complex, dynamin-related protein C (DrpC), an Eps15 homology domain-containing protein, and the kelch-domain protein K13 localise to distinct persistent foci in the pellicle of Toxoplasma. Another type of persistent punctate structures found in the IMC are the enigmatic apical annuli whose function is completely unknown. We have discovered a new component of the annuli which is a putative LMBR1 family region protein embedded into the plasma membrane. Our experiments indicate that this protein – and annuli by extension – has a role in exocytosis. To better understand the molecular composition of these endocytic and exocytic structures and gain an insight into their function, we genetically fused them with a promiscuous bacterial biotin-ligase BirA* and used them as baits in proximity-dependent biotin identification experiments (BioID). We employed TMT10plex labelling and MS3-level tandem mass spectrometry with synchronous precursor selection (SPS-MS3) to achieve accurate quantification of multiple samples. Several hundred proteins have been identified and quantified in three biological replicates for every bait and the parental cell line control. Proteins significantly enriched in the BirA*-tagged cells relative to the control have been identified using linear modelling with LIMMA.

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) are inflammatory cells involved in allergic reactions. Crosslinking of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcϵRI) with multivalent antigens (Ags) induces secretory responses to release various inflammatory mediators. These responses are largely mediated by soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs). Vesicle-associated membrane protein 3 (VAMP3) is a vesicular-SNARE that interacts with targeted SNARE counterparts, driving the fusion of MC secretory granules with the membrane and affecting subsequent assembly of the plasma membrane. However, the role of VAMP3 in FcϵRI-mediated MC function remains unclear. In this study, we comprehensively examined the role of VAMP3 and the molecular mechanisms underlying VAMP3-mediated MC function upon FcϵRI activation. VAMP3 shRNA transduction considerably decreased VAMP3 expression compared with non-target shRNA-transduced (NT) cells. VAMP3 knockdown (KD) cells were sensitized with an anti-DNP IgE antibody and subsequently stimulated with Ag. The VAMP3 KD cells showed decreased degranulation response upon Ag stimulation. Next, we observed intracellular granule formation using CD63-GFP fluorescence. The VAMP3 KD cells were considerably impaired in their capacity to increase the size of granules when compared to NT cells, suggesting that VAMP3 mediates granule fusion and therefore promotes granule exocytosis in MCs. Analysis of FcϵRI-mediated activation of signaling events (FcϵRI, Lyn, Syk, and intracellular Ca2+ response) revealed that signaling molecule activation was enhanced in VAMP3 KD cells. We also found that FcϵRI expression on the cell surface decreased considerably in VAMP3 KD cells, although the amount of total protein did not vary. VAMP3 KD cells also showed dysregulation of plasma membrane homeostasis, such as endocytosis and lipid raft formation. The difference in the plasma membrane environment in VAMP3 KD cells might affect FcϵRI membrane dynamics and the subsequent signalosome formation. Furthermore, IgE/Ag-mediated secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 is oppositely regulated in the absence of VAMP3, which appears to be attributed to both the activation of FcϵRI and defects in VAMP3-mediated membrane fusion. Taken together, these results suggest that enhanced FcϵRI-mediated signal transduction in VAMP3 KD cells occurs due to the disruption of plasma membrane homeostasis. Hence, a multifunctional regulation of VAMP3 is involved in complex secretory responses in MCs.
