Microtubule-Associated Protein EB3 Regulates IP3 Receptor Clustering and Ca(2+) Signaling in Endothelial Cells.

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms by which the microtubule cytoskeleton regulates the permeability of endothelial barrier are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that microtubule-associated end-binding protein 3 (EB3), a core component of the microtubule plus-end protein complex, binds to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) through an S/TxIP EB-binding motif. In endothelial cells, α-thrombin, a pro-inflammatory mediator that stimulates phospholipase Cβ, increases the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and elicits clustering of IP3R3s. These responses, and the resulting Ca(2+)-dependent phosphorylation of myosin light chain, are prevented by depletion of either EB3 or mutation of the TxIP motif of IP3R3 responsible for mediating its binding to EB3. We also show that selective EB3 gene deletion in endothelial cells of mice abrogates α-thrombin-induced increase in endothelial permeability. We conclude that the EB3-mediated interaction of IP3Rs with microtubules controls the assembly of IP3Rs into effective Ca(2+) signaling clusters, which thereby regulate microtubule-dependent endothelial permeability.

VE-cadherin signaling induces EB3 phosphorylation to suppress microtubule growth and assemble adherens junctions.

Project description:Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin homophilic adhesion controls endothelial barrier permeability through assembly of adherens junctions (AJs). We observed that loss of VE-cadherin-mediated adhesion induced the activation of Src and phospholipase C (PLC)?2, which mediated Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores, resulting in activation of calcineurin (CaN), a Ca(2+)-dependent phosphatase. Downregulation of CaN activity induced phosphorylation of serine 162 in end binding (EB) protein 3. This phospho-switch was required to destabilize the EB3 dimer, suppress microtubule (MT) growth, and assemble AJs. The phospho-defective S162A EB3 mutant, in contrast, induced MT growth in confluent endothelial monolayers and disassembled AJs. Thus, VE-cadherin outside-in signaling regulates cytosolic Ca(2+) homeostasis and EB3 phosphorylation, which are required for assembly of AJs. These results identify a pivotal function of VE-cadherin homophilic interaction in modulating endothelial barrier through the tuning of MT dynamics.

EB3 regulates microtubule dynamics at the cell cortex and is required for myoblast elongation and fusion.

Project description:During muscle differentiation, myoblasts elongate and fuse into syncytial myotubes [1]. An early event during this process is the remodeling of the microtubule cytoskeleton, involving disassembly of the centrosome and, crucially, the alignment of microtubules into a parallel array along the long axis of the cell [2-5]. To further our understanding on how microtubules support myogenic differentiation, we analyzed the role of EB1-related microtubule-plus-end-binding proteins. We demonstrate that EB3 [6] is specifically upregulated upon myogenic differentiation and that knockdown of EB3, but not that of EB1, prevents myoblast elongation and fusion into myotubes. EB3-depleted cells show disorganized microtubules and fail to stabilize polarized membrane protrusions. Using live-cell imaging, we show that EB3 is necessary for the regulation of microtubule dynamics and microtubule capture at the cell cortex. Expression of EB1/EB3 chimeras on an EB3-depletion background revealed that myoblast fusion depends on two specific amino acids in the calponin-like domain of EB3, whereas the interaction sites with Clip-170 and CLASPs are dispensable. Our results suggest that EB3-mediated microtubule regulation at the cell cortex is a crucial step during myogenic differentiation and might be a general mechanism in polarized cell elongation.

Ligand mobility regulates B cell receptor clustering and signaling activation.

Project description:Antigen binding to the B cell receptor (BCR) induces receptor clustering, cell spreading, and the formation of signaling microclusters, triggering B cell activation. Although the biochemical pathways governing early B cell signaling have been well studied, the role of the physical properties of antigens, such as antigen mobility, has not been fully examined. We study the interaction of B cells with BCR ligands coated on glass or tethered to planar lipid bilayer surfaces to investigate the differences in B cell response to immobile and mobile ligands. Using high-resolution total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy of live cells, we followed the movement and spatial organization of BCR clusters and the associated signaling. Although ligands on either surface were able to cross-link BCRs and induce clustering, B cells interacting with mobile ligands displayed greater signaling than those interacting with immobile ligands. Quantitative analysis revealed that mobile ligands enabled BCR clusters to move farther and merge more efficiently than immobile ligands. These differences in physical reorganization of receptor clusters were associated with differences in actin remodeling. Perturbation experiments revealed that a dynamic actin cytoskeleton actively reorganized receptor clusters. These results suggest that ligand mobility is an important parameter for regulating B cell signaling.

Intracrine endothelin signaling evokes IP3-dependent increases in nucleoplasmic Ca²? in adult cardiac myocytes.

Project description:Endothelin receptors are present on the nuclear membranes in adult cardiac ventricular myocytes. The objectives of the present study were to determine 1) which endothelin receptor subtype is in cardiac nuclear membranes, 2) if the receptor and ligand traffic from the cell surface to the nucleus, and 3) the effect of increased intracellular ET-1 on nuclear Ca(2+) signaling. Confocal microscopy using fluorescently-labeled endothelin analogs confirmed the presence of ETB at the nuclear membrane of rat cardiomyocytes in skinned-cells and isolated nuclei. Furthermore, in both cardiac myocytes and aortic endothelial cells, endocytosed ET:ETB complexes translocated to lysosomes and not the nuclear envelope. Although ETA and ETB can form heterodimers, the presence or absence of ETA did not alter ETB trafficking. Treatment of isolated nuclei with peptide: N-glycosidase F did not alter the electrophoretic mobility of ETB. The absence of N-glycosylation further indicates that these receptors did not originate at the cell surface. Intracellular photolysis of a caged ET-1 analog ([Trp-ODMNB(21)]ET-1) evoked an increase in nucleoplasmic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]n) that was attenuated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor inhibitor 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and prevented by pre-treatment with ryanodine. A caged cell-permeable analog of the ETB-selective antagonist IRL-2500 blocked the ability of intracellular cET-1 to increase [Ca(2+)]n whereas extracellular application of ETA and ETB receptor antagonists did not. These data suggest that 1) the endothelin receptor in the cardiac nuclear membranes is ETB, 2) ETB traffics directly to the nuclear membrane after biosynthesis, 3) exogenous endothelins are not ligands for ETB on nuclear membranes, and 4) ETB associated with the nuclear membranes regulates nuclear Ca(2+) signaling.

PSD-95 alters microtubule dynamics via an association with EB3.

Project description:Little is known about how the neuronal cytoskeleton is regulated when a dendrite decides whether to branch or not. Previously, we reported that postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) acts as a stop signal for dendrite branching. It is yet to be elucidated how PSD-95 affects the cytoskeleton and how this regulation relates to the dendritic arbor. Here, we show that the SH3 (src homology 3) domain of PSD-95 interacts with a proline-rich region within the microtubule end-binding protein EB3. Overexpression of PSD-95 or mutant EB3 results in a decreased lifetime of EB3 comets in dendrites. In line with these data, transfected rat neurons show that overexpression of PSD-95 results in less organized microtubules at dendritic branch points and decreased dendritogensis. The interaction between PSD-95 and EB3 elucidates a function for a novel region of EB3 and provides a new and important mechanism for the regulation of microtubules in determining dendritic morphology.

Transient upregulation of postsynaptic IP3-gated Ca release underlies short-term potentiation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 signaling in cerebellar Purkinje cells.

Project description:Synaptic plasticity lasting approximately 100 s has been suggested to function as a temporary buffer for neural information. One example of this was reported by Batchelor and Garthwaite (1997), who found that a slow metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1)-evoked EPSP produced by burst stimulation of cerebellar parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses could be potentiated by a conditioning stimulus consisting of prior activation of climbing fiber synapses (or injection of depolarizing current) with a delay of up to 90 s. What is the molecular basis of the signal that spans this temporal gap? Here, we show that mGluR1-evoked slow EPSCs evoked by parallel fiber burst test stimuli show a similar form of short-term potentiation (mGluR1-STP) and that this phenomenon is also observed when parallel fiber bursts are replaced by pressure pulses of an exogenous mGluR1 agonist. Ca imaging experiments revealed that cytosolic Ca levels returned to baseline within several seconds after conditioning depolarization, indicating that this cannot underlie mGluR1-STP. To test the hypothesis that transient upregulation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-gated Ca release underlies this phenomenon, we used local photolytic uncaging of IP(3) to deplete IP(3)-gated Ca stores. IP(3) uncaging in the interval between conditioning depolarization and the test pulse produced a complete blockade of mGluR1-STP, as did blockade of IP(3) receptors with heparin. When Ca transients evoked by IP(3) uncaging were used as a test stimulus, conditioning depolarization produced a large STP of Ca response amplitudes. These data suggest that transient upregulation of postsynaptic IP(3)-gated Ca signaling constitutes a novel form of short-term synaptic plasticity.

The IP3 receptor regulates cardiac hypertrophy in response to select stimuli.

Project description:RationaleInositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) is a second messenger that regulates intracellular Ca(2+) release through IP(3) receptors located in the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum of cardiac myocytes. Many prohypertrophic G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling events lead to IP(3) liberation, although its importance in transducing the hypertrophic response has not been established in vivo.ObjectiveHere, we generated conditional, heart-specific transgenic mice with both gain- and loss-of-function for IP(3) receptor signaling to examine its hypertrophic growth effects following pathological and physiological stimulation.Methods and resultsOverexpression of the mouse type-2 IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R2) in the heart generated mild baseline cardiac hypertrophy at 3 months of age. Isolated myocytes from overexpressing lines showed increased Ca(2+) transients and arrhythmias in response to endothelin-1 stimulation. Although low levels of IP(3)R2 overexpression failed to augment/synergize cardiac hypertrophy following 2 weeks of pressure-overload stimulation, such levels did enhance hypertrophy following 2 weeks of isoproterenol infusion, in response to Galphaq overexpression, and/or in response to exercise stimulation. To inhibit IP(3) signaling in vivo, we generated transgenic mice expressing an IP(3) chelating protein (IP(3)-sponge). IP(3)-sponge transgenic mice abrogated cardiac hypertrophy in response to isoproterenol and angiotensin II infusion but not pressure-overload stimulation. Mechanistically, IP(3)R2-enhanced cardiac hypertrophy following isoproterenol infusion was significantly reduced in the calcineurin-Abeta-null background.ConclusionThese results indicate that IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) release plays a central role in regulating cardiac hypertrophy downstream of GPCR signaling, in part, through a calcineurin-dependent mechanism.

Herpud1 negatively regulates pathological cardiac hypertrophy by inducing IP3 receptor degradation.

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response triggered by pathological stimuli. Regulation of the synthesis and the degradation of the Ca2+ channel inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) affects progression to cardiac hypertrophy. Herpud1, a component of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) complex, participates in IP3R1 degradation and Ca2+ signaling, but the cardiac function of Herpud1 remains unknown. We hypothesize that Herpud1 acts as a negative regulator of cardiac hypertrophy by regulating IP3R protein levels. Our results show that Herpud1-knockout mice exhibit cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction and that decreased Herpud1 protein levels lead to elevated levels of hypertrophic markers in cultured rat cardiomyocytes. In addition, IP3R levels were elevated both in Herpud1-knockout mice and Herpud1 siRNA-treated rat cardiomyocytes. The latter treatment also led to elevated cytosolic and nuclear Ca2+ levels. In summary, the absence of Herpud1 generates a pathological hypertrophic phenotype by regulating IP3R protein levels. Herpud1 is a novel negative regulator of pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

EB1 and EB3 regulate microtubule minus end organization and Golgi morphology.

Project description:End-binding proteins (EBs) are the core components of microtubule plus end tracking protein complexes, but it is currently unknown whether they are essential for mammalian microtubule organization. Here, by using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout technology, we generated stable cell lines lacking EB2 and EB3 and the C-terminal partner-binding half of EB1. These cell lines show only mild defects in cell division and microtubule polymerization. However, the length of CAMSAP2-decorated stretches at noncentrosomal microtubule minus ends in these cells is reduced, microtubules are detached from Golgi membranes, and the Golgi complex is more compact. Coorganization of microtubules and Golgi membranes depends on the EB1/EB3-myomegalin complex, which acts as membrane-microtubule tether and counteracts tight clustering of individual Golgi stacks. Disruption of EB1 and EB3 also perturbs cell migration, polarity, and the distribution of focal adhesions. EB1 and EB3 thus affect multiple interphase processes and have a major impact on microtubule minus end organization.
