Nucleotide binding domain and leucine-rich repeat pyrin domain-containing protein 12: characterization of its binding to hematopoietic cell kinase.

ABSTRACT: Protein-protein interactions are key to define the function of nucleotide binding domain (NBD) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) family, pyrin domain (PYD)-containing protein 12 (NLRP12). cDNA encoding the human PYD + NBD of NLRP12 was used as bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen with a human leukocyte cDNA library as prey. Hematopoiesis cell kinase (HCK), a member of the c-SRC family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases, was among the top hits. The C-terminal 40 amino acids of HCK selectively bound to NLRP12's PYD + NBD, but not to that of NLRP3 and NLRP8. Amino acids F503, I506, Q507, L510, and D511 of HCK are critical for the binding of HCK's C-terminal 40 amino acids to NLRP12's PYD + NBD. Additionally, the C-terminal 30 amino acids of HCK are sufficient to bind to NLRP12's PYD + NBD, but not to its PYD alone nor to its NBD alone. In cell lines that express HCK endogenously, it was co- immunoprecipitated with stably expressed exogenous NLRP12. Also, NLRP12 co-immunoprecipitated and co-localized with HCK when both were overexpressed in 293T cells. In addition, in this overexpression system, steady-state NLRP12 protein expression levels significantly decreased when HCK was co-expressed. Bioinformatic analysis showed that HCK mRNA co-occurred with NLRP12 mRNA, but not with other NLRP mRNAs, in blood and marrow samples from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. The mRNA of NLRP12 is also co-expressed with HCK in AML patient samples, and the levels of mRNA expression of each are correlated. Together these data suggest that NLRP12, through its binding to HCK, may have an effect on the pathogenesis of AML.

Project description:UnlabelledBacterially induced osteoblast apoptosis may be a major contributor to bone loss during osteomyelitis. We provide evidence for the functional expression in osteoblasts of NLRP3, a member of the NLR family of cytosolic receptors that has been implicated in the initiation of programmed cell death.IntroductionOsteoblasts undergo apoptosis after exposure to intracellular bacterial pathogens commonly associated with osteomyelitis. Death of this bone-forming cell type, in conjunction with increased numbers and activity of osteoclasts, may underlie the destruction of bone tissue at sites of bacterial infection. To date, the mechanisms responsible for bacterially induced apoptotic osteoblast cell death have not been resolved.Materials and methodsWe used flow cytometric techniques to determine whether intracellular invasion is needed for maximal apoptotic cell death in primary osteoblasts after challenge with Salmonella enterica. In addition, we used real-time PCR and immunoblot analyses to assess osteoblast expression of members of the nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat region-containing family of intracellular receptors (NLRs) that have been predicted to be involved in the induction of programmed cell death. Furthermore, we have used co-immunoprecipitation and siRNA techniques to confirm the functionality of such sensors in this cell type.ResultsIn this study, we showed that invasion of osteoblasts by Salmonella is necessary for maximal induction of apoptosis. We showed that murine and human osteoblasts express NLRP3 (previously known as CIAS1, cryopyrin, PYPAF1, or NALP3) but not NLRC4 (IPAF) and showed that the level of expression of this cytosolic receptor is modulated after bacterial challenge. We showed that osteoblasts express ASC, an adaptor molecule for NLRP3, and that these molecules associate after Salmonella infection. In addition, we showed that a reduction in the expression of NLRP3 attenuates Salmonella-induced reductions in the activity of an anti-apoptotic transcription factor in osteoblasts. Furthermore, we showed that NLRP3 expression is needed for caspase-1 activation and maximal induction of apoptosis in osteoblasts after infection with Salmonella.ConclusionsThe functional expression of NLRP3 in osteoblasts provides a potential mechanism underlying apoptotic cell death of this cell type after challenge with intracellular bacterial pathogens and may be a significant contributory factor to bone loss at sites of infection.
