Palmitoylation of Prolactin-Releasing Peptide Increased Affinity for and Activation of the GPR10, NPFF-R2 and NPFF-R1 Receptors: In Vitro Study.

ABSTRACT: The anorexigenic neuropeptide prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) is involved in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. Lipidization of PrRP stabilizes the peptide, facilitates central effect after peripheral administration and increases its affinity for its receptor, GPR10, and for the neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptor NPFF-R2. The two most potent palmitoylated analogs with anorectic effects in mice, palm¹¹-PrRP31 and palm-PrRP31, were studied in vitro to determine their agonist/antagonist properties and mechanism of action on GPR10, NPFF-R2 and other potential off-target receptors related to energy homeostasis. Palmitoylation of both PrRP31 analogs increased the binding properties of PrRP31 to anorexigenic receptors GPR10 and NPFF-R2 and resulted in a high affinity for another NPFF receptor, NPFF-R1. Moreover, in CHO-K1 cells expressing GPR10, NPFF-R2 or NPFF-R1, palm¹¹-PrRP and palm-PrRP significantly increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), protein kinase B (Akt) and cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB). Palm¹¹-PrRP31, unlike palm-PrRP31, did not activate either c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38, c-Jun, c-Fos or CREB pathways in cells expressing NPFF-1R. Palm-PrRP31 also has higher binding affinities for off-target receptors, namely, the ghrelin, opioid (KOR, MOR, DOR and OPR-L1) and neuropeptide Y (Y₁, Y₂ and Y₅) receptors. Palm¹¹-PrRP31 exhibited fewer off-target activities; therefore, it has a higher potential to be used as an anti-obesity drug with anorectic effects.

The activity of prolactin releasing peptide correlates with its helicity.

Project description:The prolactin releasing peptide (PrRP) is involved in regulating food intake and body weight homeostasis, but molecular details on the activation of the PrRP receptor remain unclear. C-terminal segments of PrRP with 20 (PrRP20) and 13 (PrRP8-20) amino acids, respectively, have been suggested to be fully active. The data presented herein indicate this is true for the wildtype receptor only; a 5-10-fold loss of activity was found for PrRP8-20 compared to PrRP20 at two extracellular loop mutants of the receptor. To gain insight into the secondary structure of PrRP, we used CD spectroscopy performed in TFE and SDS. Additionally, previously reported NMR data, combined with ROSETTANMR, were employed to determine the structure of amidated PrRP20. The structural ensemble agrees with the spectroscopic data for the full-length peptide, which exists in an equilibrium between ?- and 3(10)-helix. We demonstrate that PrRP8-20's reduced propensity to form an ?-helix correlates with its reduced biological activity on mutant receptors. Further, distinct amino acid replacements in PrRP significantly decrease affinity and activity but have no influence on the secondary structure of the peptide. We conclude that formation of a primarily ?-helical C-terminal region of PrRP is critical for receptor activation.

Palmitoylation is required for TNF-R1 signaling.

Project description:BackgroundBinding of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to TNF-receptor 1 (TNF-R1) can induce either cell survival or cell death. The selection between these diametrically opposed effects depends on the subcellular location of TNF-R1: plasma membrane retention leads to survival, while endocytosis leads to cell death. How the respective TNF-R1 associated signaling complexes are recruited to the distinct subcellular location is not known. Here, we identify palmitoylation of TNF-R1 as a molecular mechanism to achieve signal diversification.MethodsHuman monocytic U937 cells were analyzed. Palmitoylated proteins were enriched by acyl resin assisted capture (AcylRAC) and analyzed by western blot and mass spectrometry. Palmitoylation of TNF-R1 was validated by metabolic labeling. TNF induced depalmitoylation and involvement of APT2 was analyzed by enzyme activity assays, pharmacological inhibition and shRNA mediated knock-down. TNF-R1 palmitoylation site analysis was done by mutated TNF-R1 expression in TNF-R1 knock-out cells. Apoptosis (nuclear DNA fragmentation, caspase 3 assays), NF-κB activation and TNF-R1 internalization were used as biological readouts.ResultsWe identify dynamic S-palmitoylation as a new mechanism that controls selective TNF signaling. TNF-R1 itself is constitutively palmitoylated and depalmitoylated upon ligand binding. We identified the palmitoyl thioesterase APT2 to be involved in TNF-R1 depalmitoylation and TNF induced NF-κB activation. Mutation of the putative palmitoylation site C248 interferes with TNF-R1 localization to the plasma membrane and thus, proper signal transduction.ConclusionsOur results introduce palmitoylation as a new layer of dynamic regulation of TNF-R1 induced signal transduction at a very early step of the TNF induced signaling cascade. Understanding the underlying mechanism may allow novel therapeutic options for disease treatment in future.

Ligand-mimicking receptor variant discloses binding and activation mode of prolactin-releasing peptide.

Project description:The prolactin-releasing peptide receptor and its bioactive RF-amide peptide (PrRP20) have been investigated to explore the ligand binding mode of peptide G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). By receptor mutagenesis, we identified the conserved aspartate in the upper transmembrane helix 6 (Asp(6.59)) of the receptor as the first position that directly interacts with arginine 19 of the ligand (Arg(19)). Replacement of Asp(6.59) with Arg(19) of PrRP20 led to D6.59R, which turned out to be a constitutively active receptor mutant (CAM). This suggests that the mutated residue at the top of transmembrane helix 6 mimics Arg(19) by interacting with additional binding partners in the receptor. Next, we generated an initial comparative model of this CAM because no ligand docking was required, and we selected the next set of receptor mutants to find the engaged partners of the binding pocket. In an iterative process, we identified two acidic residues and two hydrophobic residues that form the peptide ligand binding pocket. As all residues are localized on top or in the upper part of the transmembrane domains, we clearly can show that the extracellular surface of the receptor is sufficient for full signal transduction for prolactin-releasing peptide, rather than a deep, membrane-embedded binding pocket. This contributes to the knowledge of the binding of peptide ligands to GPCRs and might facilitate the development of GPCR ligands, but it also provides new targeting of CAMs involved in hereditary diseases.

An analogue of the Prolactin Releasing Peptide reduces obesity and promotes adult neurogenesis.

Project description:Hypothalamic Adult Neurogenesis (hAN) has been implicated in regulating energy homeostasis. Adult-generated neurons and adult Neural Stem Cells (aNSCs) in the hypothalamus control food intake and body weight. Conversely, diet-induced obesity (DIO) by high fat diets (HFD) exerts adverse influence on hAN. However, the effects of anti-obesity compounds on hAN are not known. To address this, we administered a lipidized analogue of an anti-obesity neuropeptide, Prolactin Releasing Peptide (PrRP), so-called LiPR, to mice. In the HFD context, LiPR rescued the survival of adult-born hypothalamic neurons and increased the number of aNSCs by reducing their activation. LiPR also rescued the reduction of immature hippocampal neurons and modulated calcium dynamics in iPSC-derived human neurons. In addition, some of these neurogenic effects were exerted by another anti-obesity compound, Liraglutide. These results show for the first time that anti-obesity neuropeptides influence adult neurogenesis and suggest that the neurogenic process can serve as a target of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy.

Prolactin-Releasing Peptide Differentially Regulates Gene Transcriptomic Profiles in Mouse Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages.

Project description:Prolactin-releasing Peptide (PrRP) is a neuropeptide whose receptor is GPR10. Recently, the regulatory role of PrRP in the neuroendocrine field has attracted increasing attention. However, the influence of PrRP on macrophages, the critical housekeeper in the neuroendocrine field, has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we investigated the effect of PrRP on the transcriptome of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with RNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and molecular simulation. BMDMs were exposed to PrRP (18 h) and were subjected to RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were acquired, followed by GO, KEGG, and PPI analysis. Eight qPCR-validated DEGs were chosen as hub genes. Next, the three-dimensional structures of the proteins encoded by these hub genes were modeled by Rosetta and Modeller, followed by molecular dynamics simulation by the Gromacs program. Finally, the binding modes between PrRP and hub proteins were investigated with the Rosetta program. PrRP showed no noticeable effect on the morphology of macrophages. A total of 410 DEGs were acquired, and PrRP regulated multiple BMDM-mediated functional pathways. Besides, the possible docking modes between PrRP and hub proteins were investigated. Moreover, GPR10 was expressed on the cell membrane of BMDMs, which increased after PrRP exposure. Collectively, PrRP significantly changed the transcriptome profile of BMDMs, implying that PrRP may be involved in various physiological activities mastered by macrophages.

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor type 1 (TRH-R1), not TRH-R2, primarily mediates taltirelin actions in the CNS of mice.

Project description:Thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor type 2 (TRH-R2), not TRH-R1, has been proposed to mediate the CNS effects of TRH and its more effective analog taltirelin (TAL). Consistent with this idea, TAL exhibited higher binding affinity and signaling potency at mouse TRH-R2 than TRH-R1 in a model cell system. We used TRH-R1 knockout (R1ko), R2ko and R1/R2ko mice to determine which receptor mediates the CNS effects of TAL. There was no TRH-R1 mRNA in R1ko and R1/R2ko mice and no TRH-R2 mRNA in R2ko and R1/R2ko mice. Specific [(3)H]MeTRH binding to whole brain membranes was 5% of wild type (WT) for R1ko mice, 100% for R2ko mice and 0% for R1/R2ko mice, indicating TRH-R1 is the predominant receptor expressed in the brain. In arousal assays, TAL shortened sleep time with pentobarbital sedation in WT and R2ko mice by 44 and 49% and with ketamine/xylazine sedation by 66 and 55%, but had no effect in R1ko and R1/R2ko mice. In a tail flick assay of nociception, TAL increased response latency by 65 and 70% in WT and R2ko mice, but had no effect in R1ko and R1/R2ko mice. In a tail suspension test of depression-like behavior, TAL increased mobility time by 49 and 37% in WT and R2ko mice, but had no effect in R1ko and R1/R2ko mice. Thus, in contrast to the generally accepted view that the CNS effects of TAL are mediated by TRH-R2, these effects are mediated primarily if not exclusively by TRH-R1 in mice.

Structure and Analysis of R1 and R2 Pyocin Receptor-Binding Fibers.

Project description:The R-type pyocins are high-molecular weight bacteriocins produced by some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to specifically kill other strains of the same species. Structurally, the R-type pyocins are similar to "simple" contractile tails, such as those of phage P2 and Mu. The pyocin recognizes and binds to its target with the help of fibers that emanate from the baseplate structure at one end of the particle. Subsequently, the pyocin contracts its sheath and drives the rigid tube through the host cell envelope. This causes depolarization of the cytoplasmic membrane and cell death. The host cell surface-binding fiber is ~340 Å-long and is attached to the baseplate with its N-terminal domain. Here, we report the crystal structures of C-terminal fragments of the R1 and R2 pyocin fibers that comprise the distal, receptor-binding part of the protein. Both proteins are ~240 Å-long homotrimers in which slender rod-like domains are interspersed with more globular domains-two tandem knob domains in the N-terminal part of the fragment and a lectin-like domain at its C-terminus. The putative substrate binding sites are separated by about 100 Å, suggesting that binding of the fiber to the cell surface causes the fiber to adopt a certain orientation relative to the baseplate and this then triggers sheath contraction.
