Activation of a paramyxovirus fusion protein is modulated by inside-out signaling from the cytoplasmic tail.

ABSTRACT: Many viruses have evolved fusion-mediating glycoproteins that couple the energy released from irreversible protein refolding to the work of membrane fusion. The viral fusion proteins require a triggering event to undergo a cascade of tightly regulated conformational changes. Different isolates of the paramyxovirus SV5 fusion (F) protein have either a short (20-residue) or long (42-residue) cytoplasmic tail (CT), and a long CT suppresses fusion activity in a sequence-specific manner. Addition of a domain to the F protein CT, which has the propensity to form a three-helix bundle, stabilizes the F protein and increases the energy required for fusion activation. Quantitative cell-cell fusion assays and measurement of ectodomain conformation by monoclonal antibody reactivity indicate that this suppression of fusion by the long CT or addition of a three-helix bundle occurs at a step preceding initial membrane merger. The data suggest that F protein activation involves CT signaling to the ectodomain.

The dual structural roles of the membrane distal region of the α-integrin cytoplasmic tail during integrin inside-out activation.

Project description:Studies on the mechanism of integrin inside-out activation have been focused on the role of β-integrin cytoplasmic tails, which are relatively conserved and bear binding sites for the intracellular activators including talin and kindlin. Cytoplasmic tails for α-integrins share a conserved GFFKR motif at the membrane-proximal region and this forms a specific interface with the β-integrin membrane-proximal region to keep the integrin inactive. The α-integrin membrane-distal regions, after the GFFKR motif, are diverse both in length and sequence and their roles in integrin activation have not been well-defined. In this study, we report that the α-integrin cytoplasmic membrane-distal region contributes to maintaining integrin in the resting state and to integrin inside-out activation. Complete deletion of the α-integrin membrane-distal region diminished talin- and kindlin-mediated integrin ligand binding and conformational change. A proper length and suitable amino acids in α-integrin membrane-distal region was found to be important for integrin inside-out activation. Our data establish an essential role for the α-integrin cytoplasmic membrane-distal region in integrin activation and provide new insights into how talin and kindlin induce the high-affinity integrin conformation that is required for fully functional integrins.

Inside Out Integrin Activation Mediated by PIEZO1 Signaling in Erythroblasts.

Project description:The non-selective mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 controls erythrocyte volume homeostasis. Different missense gain-of-function mutations in PIEZO1 gene have been identified that cause Hereditary Xerocytosis (HX), a rare autosomal dominant haemolytic anemia. PIEZO1 expression is not limited to erythrocytes and expression levels are significantly higher in erythroid precursors, hinting to a role in erythropoiesis. During erythropoiesis, interactions between erythroblasts, central macrophages, and extracellular matrix within erythroblastic islands are important. Integrin α4β1 and α5β1 present on erythroblasts facilitate such interactions in erythroblastic islands. Here we found that chemical activation of PIEZO1 using Yoda1 leads to increased adhesion to VCAM1 and fibronectin in flowing conditions. Integrin α4, α5, and β1 blocking antibodies prevented this PIEZO1-induced adhesion suggesting inside-out activation of integrin on erythroblasts. Blocking the Ca2+ dependent Calpain and PKC pathways by using specific inhibitors also blocked increased erythroid adhesion to VCAM1 and fibronectins. Cleavage of Talin was observed as a result of Calpain and PKC activity. In conclusion, PIEZO1 activation results in inside-out integrin activation, facilitated by calcium-dependent activation of PKC and Calpain. The data introduces novel concepts in Ca2+ signaling during erythropoiesis with ramification on erythroblastic island homeostasis in health and disease like Hereditary Xerocytosis.

Integrin αII b tail distal of GFFKR participates in inside-out αII b β3 activation.

Project description:BackgroundIncreases in ligand binding to integrins (activation) play critical roles in platelet and leukocyte function. Integrin activation requires talin and kindlin binding to integrin β cytoplasmic tails. Research has focused on the conserved GFFKR motif in integrin αII b tails, integrin β cytoplasmic tails and the binding partners of β tails. However, the roles of αII b tail distal of GFFKR motif are unexplored.ObjectiveTo investigate the role of αII b tail distal of GFFKR in talin-mediated inside-out integrin signaling.MethodsWe used model cell systems to examine the role of αII b tail distal of GFFKR in bidirectional αII b β3 signaling and αII b β3 -talin interactions.ResultsDeletion of amino acid residues after the GFFKR motif in αII b tail moderately decreased β3 (D723R)-induced activation, abolished talin-induced αII b β3 activation in model cells, and inhibited agonist-induced αII b β3 activation in megakaryocytic cells. Furthermore, residues in αII b tail distal of GFFKR did not affect outside-in αII b β3 signaling or αII b β3 -talin interaction. Addition of non-homologous or non-specific amino acids to the GFFKR motif restored αII b β3 activation in model cells and in megakaryocytic cells. Molecular modeling indicates that β3 -bound talin sterically clashes with the αII b tail in the αII b β3 complexes, potentially disfavoring the α-β interactions that keep αII b β3 inactive.ConclusionThe αII b tail sequences distal of GFFKR participate in talin-mediated inside-out αII b β3 activation through its steric clashes with β3 -bound talin.

The membrane-distal regions of integrin α cytoplasmic domains contribute differently to integrin inside-out activation.

Project description:Functioning as signal receivers and transmitters, the integrin α/β cytoplasmic tails (CT) are pivotal in integrin activation and signaling. 18 α integrin subunits share a conserved membrane-proximal region but have a highly diverse membrane-distal (MD) region at their CTs. Recent studies demonstrated that the presence of α CTMD region is essential for talin-induced integrin inside-out activation. However, it remains unknown whether the non-conserved α CTMD regions differently regulate the inside-out activation of integrin. Using αIIbβ3, αLβ2, and α5β1 as model integrins and by replacing their α CTMD regions with those of α subunits that pair with β3, β2, and β1 subunits, we analyzed the function of CTMD regions of 17 α subunits in talin-mediated integrin activation. We found that the α CTMD regions play two roles on integrin, which are activation-supportive and activation-regulatory. The regulatory but not the supportive function depends on the sequence identity of α CTMD region. A membrane-proximal tyrosine residue present in the CTMD regions of a subset of α integrins was identified to negatively regulate integrin inside-out activation. Our study provides a useful resource for investigating the function of α integrin CTMD regions.

DNA damage-dependent NF-κB activation: NEMO turns nuclear signaling inside out.

Project description:The dimeric transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) functions broadly in coordinating cellular responses during inflammation and immune reactions, and its importance in the pathogenesis of cancer is increasingly recognized. Many of the signal transduction pathways that trigger activation of cytoplasmic NF-κB in response to a broad array of immune and inflammatory stimuli have been elaborated in great detail. NF-κB can also be activated by DNA damage, though relatively less is known about the signal transduction mechanisms that link DNA damage in the nucleus with activation of NF-κB in the cytoplasm. Here, we focus on the conserved signaling pathway that has emerged that promotes NF-κB activation following DNA damage. Post-translational modification of NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) plays a central role in linking the cellular DNA damage response to NF-κB via the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase. Accumulating evidence suggests that DNA damage-dependent NF-κB activation may play significant biological roles, particularly during lymphocyte differentiation and progression of human malignancies.

Critical role of the fusion protein cytoplasmic tail sequence in parainfluenza virus assembly.

Project description:Interactions between viral glycoproteins, matrix protein and nucleocapsid sustain assembly of parainfluenza viruses at the plasma membrane. Although the protein interactions required for virion formation are considered to be highly specific, virions lacking envelope glycoprotein(s) can be produced, thus the molecular interactions driving viral assembly and production are still unclear. Sendai virus (SeV) and human parainfluenza virus type 1 (hPIV1) are highly similar in structure, however, the cytoplasmic tail sequences of the envelope glycoproteins (HN and F) are relatively less conserved. To unveil the specific role of the envelope glycoproteins in viral assembly, we created chimeric SeVs whose HN (rSeVhHN) or HN and F (rSeVh(HN+F)) were replaced with those of hPIV1. rSeVhHN grew as efficiently as wt SeV or hPIV1, suggesting that the sequence difference in HN does not have a significant impact on SeV replication and virion production. In sharp contrast, the growth of rSeVh(HN+F) was significantly impaired compared to rSeVhHN. rSeVh(HN+Fstail) which expresses a chimeric hPIV1 F with the SeV cytoplasmic tail sequence grew similar to wt SeV or rSeVhHN. Further analysis indicated that the F cytoplasmic tail plays a critical role in cell surface expression/accumulation of HN and F, as well as NP and M association at the plasma membrane. Trafficking of nucelocapsids in infected cells was not significantly affected by the origin of F, suggesting that F cytoplasmic tail is not involved in intracellular movement. These results demonstrate the role of the F cytoplasmic tail in accumulation of structural components at the plasma membrane assembly sites.

A dual-functional paramyxovirus F protein regulatory switch segment: activation and membrane fusion.

Project description:Many viral fusion-mediating glycoproteins couple alpha-helical bundle formation to membrane merger, but have different methods for fusion activation. To study paramyxovirus-mediated fusion, we mutated the SV5 fusion (F) protein at conserved residues L447 and I449, which are adjacent to heptad repeat (HR) B and bind to a prominent cavity in the HRA trimeric coiled coil in the fusogenic six-helix bundle (6HB) structure. These analyses on residues L447 and I449, both in intact F protein and in 6HB, suggest a metamorphic region around these residues with dual structural roles. Mutation of L447 and I449 to aliphatic residues destabilizes the 6HB structure and attenuates fusion activity. Mutation of L447 and I449 to aromatic residues also destabilizes the 6HB structure despite promoting hyperactive fusion, indicating that 6HB stability alone does not dictate fusogenicity. Thus, residues L447 and I449 adjacent to HRB in paramyxovirus F have distinct roles in fusion activation and 6HB formation, suggesting this region is involved in a conformational switch.

Activation of paramyxovirus membrane fusion and virus entry.

Project description:The paramyxoviruses represent a diverse virus family responsible for a wide range of human and animal diseases. In contrast to other viruses, such as HIV and influenza virus, which use a single glycoprotein to mediate host receptor binding and virus entry, the paramyxoviruses require two distinct proteins. One of these is an attachment glycoprotein that binds receptor, while the second is a fusion glycoprotein, which undergoes conformational changes that drive virus-cell membrane fusion and virus entry. The details of how receptor binding by one protein activates the second to undergo conformational changes have been poorly understood until recently. Over the past couple of years, structural and functional data have accumulated on representative members of this family, including parainfluenza virus 5, Newcastle disease virus, measles virus, Nipah virus and others, which suggest a mechanistic convergence of activation models. Here we review the data indicating that paramyxovirus attachment glycoproteins shield activating residues within their N-terminal stalk domains, which are then exposed upon receptor binding, leading to the activation of the fusion protein by a 'provocateur' mechanism.

Premature activation of the paramyxovirus fusion protein before target cell attachment with corruption of the viral fusion machinery.

Project description:Paramyxoviruses, including the childhood pathogen human parainfluenza virus type 3, enter host cells by fusion of the viral and target cell membranes. This fusion results from the concerted action of its two envelope glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and the fusion protein (F). The receptor-bound HN triggers F to undergo conformational changes that render it competent to mediate fusion of the viral and cellular membranes. We proposed that, if the fusion process could be activated prematurely before the virion reaches the target host cell, infection could be prevented. We identified a small molecule that inhibits paramyxovirus entry into target cells and prevents infection. We show here that this compound works by an interaction with HN that results in F-activation prior to receptor binding. The fusion process is thereby prematurely activated, preventing fusion of the viral membrane with target cells and precluding viral entry. This first evidence that activation of a paramyxovirus F can be specifically induced before the virus contacts its target cell suggests a new strategy with broad implications for the design of antiviral agents.
