Control of membrane protein homeostasis by a chaperone-like glial cell adhesion molecule at multiple subcellular locations.

ABSTRACT: The significance of crosstalks among constituents of plasma membrane protein clusters/complexes in cellular proteostasis and protein quality control (PQC) remains incompletely understood. Examining the glial (enriched) cell adhesion molecule (CAM), we demonstrate its chaperone-like role in the biosynthetic processing of the megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cyst 1 (MLC1)-heteromeric regulatory membrane protein complex, as well as the function of the GlialCAM/MLC1 signalling complex. We show that in the absence of GlialCAM, newly synthesized MLC1 molecules remain unfolded and are susceptible to polyubiquitination-dependent proteasomal degradation at the endoplasmic reticulum. At the plasma membrane, GlialCAM regulates the diffusional partitioning and endocytic dynamics of cluster members, including the ClC-2 chloride channel and MLC1. Impaired folding and/or expression of GlialCAM or MLC1 in the presence of diseases causing mutations, as well as plasma membrane tethering compromise the functional expression of the cluster, leading to compromised endo-lysosomal organellar identity. In addition, the enlarged endo-lysosomal compartments display accelerated acidification, ubiquitinated cargo-sorting and impaired endosomal recycling. Jointly, these observations indicate an essential and previously unrecognized role for CAM, where GliaCAM functions as a PQC factor for the MLC1 signalling complex biogenesis and possess a permissive role in the membrane dynamic and cargo sorting functions with implications in modulations of receptor signalling.

The phosphoarginine energy-buffering system of trypanosoma brucei involves multiple arginine kinase isoforms with different subcellular locations.

Project description:Phosphagen energy-buffering systems play an essential role in regulating the cellular energy homeostasis in periods of high-energy demand or energy supply fluctuations. Here we describe the phosphoarginine/arginine kinase system of the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei, consisting of three highly similar arginine kinase isoforms (TbAK1-3). Immunofluorescence microscopy using myc-tagged protein versions revealed that each isoform is located in a specific subcellular compartment: TbAK1 is exclusively found in the flagellum, TbAK2 in the glycosome, and TbAK3 in the cytosol of T. brucei. The flagellar location of TbAK1 is dependent on a 22 amino acid long N-terminal sequence, which is sufficient for targeting a GFP-fusion protein to the trypanosome flagellum. The glycosomal location of TbAK2 is in agreement with the presence of a conserved peroxisomal targeting signal, the C-terminal tripeptide 'SNL'. TbAK3 lacks any apparent targeting sequences and is accordingly located in the cytosol of the parasite. Northern blot analysis indicated that each TbAK isoform is differentially expressed in bloodstream and procyclic forms of T. brucei, while the total cellular arginine kinase activity was 3-fold higher in bloodstream form trypanosomes. These results suggest a substantial change in the temporal and spatial energy requirements during parasite differentiation. Increased arginine kinase activity improved growth of procyclic form T. brucei during oxidative challenges with hydrogen peroxide. Elimination of the total cellular arginine kinase activity by RNA interference significantly decreased growth (>90%) of procyclic form T. brucei under standard culture conditions and was lethal for this life cycle stage in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The putative physiological roles of the different TbAK isoforms in T. brucei are further discussed.

An oligodendrocyte cell adhesion molecule at the site of assembly of the paranodal axo-glial junction.

Project description:Two major isoforms of the cell adhesion molecule neurofascin NF186 and NF155 are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). We have investigated their roles in the assembly of the node of Ranvier and show that they are targeted to distinct domains at the node. At the onset of myelination, NF186 is restricted to neurons, whereas NF155 localizes to oligodendrocytes, the myelin-forming glia of the CNS. Coincident with axon ensheathment, NF155 clusters at the paranodal regions of the myelin sheath where it localizes in apposition to the axonal adhesion molecule paranodin/contactin-associated protein (Caspr1), which is a constituent of the septate junction-like axo-glial adhesion zone. Immunoelectron microscopy confirmed that neurofascin is a glial component of the paranodal axo-glial junction. Concentration of NF155 with Caspr1 at the paranodal junctions of peripheral nerves is also a feature of Schwann cells. In Shiverer mutant mice, which assemble neither compact CNS myelin nor normal paranodes, NF155 (though largely retained at the cell body) is also distributed at ectopic sites along axons, where it colocalizes with Caspr1. Hence, NF155 is the first glial cell adhesion molecule to be identified in the paranodal axo-glial junction, where it likely interacts with axonal proteins in close association with Caspr1.

Regulation of body weight and energy homeostasis by neuronal cell adhesion molecule 1.

Project description:Susceptibility to obesity is linked to genes regulating neurotransmission, pancreatic beta-cell function and energy homeostasis. Genome-wide association studies have identified associations between body mass index and two loci near cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) and cell adhesion molecule 2 (CADM2), which encode membrane proteins that mediate synaptic assembly. We found that these respective risk variants associate with increased CADM1 and CADM2 expression in the hypothalamus of human subjects. Expression of both genes was elevated in obese mice, and induction of Cadm1 in excitatory neurons facilitated weight gain while exacerbating energy expenditure. Loss of Cadm1 protected mice from obesity, and tract-tracing analysis revealed Cadm1-positive innervation of POMC neurons via afferent projections originating from beyond the arcuate nucleus. Reducing Cadm1 expression in the hypothalamus and hippocampus promoted a negative energy balance and weight loss. These data identify essential roles for Cadm1-mediated neuronal input in weight regulation and provide insight into the central pathways contributing to human obesity.

Lipid-anchored Proteasomes Control Membrane Protein Homeostasis

Project description:As the major protein degradation machinery of eukaryotic cells, the 26S proteasome is generally thought to localize in the nucleus and cytosol. A portion of proteasomes are known to associate with various membrane structures of the cell, the mechanism and biological meaning of which have been elusive. Here we show that N-myristoylation of the proteasome subunit Rpt2 is an evolutionarily conserved determinant of proteasome-membrane interaction. Loss of this modification leads to embryonic lethality in mice, significant reduction of migration ability in MEFs and profound changes in the membrane-associated proteome as determined by SILAC-MS, suggesting a key role of membrane-tethered proteasomes in carrying out compartmentalized protein degradation. And the tumorigenicity is reduced in the oncogene-transformed MEF without modification. Serendipitously, we found that the Rpt2-G2A mutation cell lines confers partial resistance to proteasome inhibitors, such as Bortezomib and MG132. Thus, N-myristoylation of Rpt2 determines the localization and activity of the proteasome at the membrane, which is critical for embryogenesis, cellular homeostasis and tumorigenesis.

Determining the distribution of probes between different subcellular locations through automated unmixing of subcellular patterns.

Project description:Many proteins or other biological macromolecules are localized to more than one subcellular structure. The fraction of a protein in different cellular compartments is often measured by colocalization with organelle-specific fluorescent markers, requiring availability of fluorescent probes for each compartment and acquisition of images for each in conjunction with the macromolecule of interest. Alternatively, tailored algorithms allow finding particular regions in images and quantifying the amount of fluorescence they contain. Unfortunately, this approach requires extensive hand-tuning of algorithms and is often cell type-dependent. Here we describe a machine-learning approach for estimating the amount of fluorescent signal in different subcellular compartments without hand tuning, requiring only the acquisition of separate training images of markers for each compartment. In testing on images of cells stained with mixtures of probes for different organelles, we achieved a 93% correlation between estimated and expected amounts of probes in each compartment. We also demonstrated that the method can be used to quantify drug-dependent protein translocations. The method enables automated and unbiased determination of the distributions of protein across cellular compartments, and will significantly improve imaging-based high-throughput assays and facilitate proteome-scale localization efforts.

Subcellular Control over Focal Adhesion Anisotropy, Independent of Cell Morphology, Dictates Stem Cell Fate.

Project description:Although microscale patterning techniques have been used to control cell morphology and shape, they only provide indirect control over the formation of the subcellular cytoskeletal elements that determine contractility. This paper addresses the hypotheses that nanoscale anisotropic features of a patterned matrix can direct the alignment of internal cytoskeletal actin fibers within a confined shape with an unbiased aspect ratio, and that this enhanced control over cytoskeletal architecture directs programmed cell behaviors. Here, large-area polymer pen lithography is used to pattern substrates with nanoscale extracellular matrix protein features and to identify cues that can be used to direct cytoskeletal organization in human mesenchymal stem cells. This nanopatterning approach is used to identify how anisotropic focal adhesions around the periphery of symmetric patterns yield an organized and contractile actin cytoskeleton. This work reports the important finding that anisotropic cues that increase cell contractility within a circular shape redirect cell differentiation from an adipogenic to an osteogenic fate. Together, these experiments introduce a programmable approach for using subcellular spatial cues to control cell behavior within defined geometries.

Quantitative organelle proteomics of MCF-7 breast cancer cells reveals multiple subcellular locations for proteins in cellular functional processes.

Project description:We have combined sucrose density gradient subcellular fractionation with quantitative, tandem-mass-spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics to investigate spatial distributions of proteins in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Emphasis was placed on four major organellar compartments: cytosol, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondrion. Two-thousand one-hundred eighty-four proteins were securely identified. Four-hundred eighty-one proteins (22.0% of total proteins identified) were found in unique sucrose gradient fractions, suggesting they may have unique subcellular locations. 454 proteins (20.8%) were found to be ubiquitously distributed. The remaining 1249 proteins (57.2%) were consistent with intermediate distribution over multiple, but not all, subcellular locations. Ninety-four proteins implicated in breast cancer and 478 other proteins which share the same five major cellular biological processes with a majority of the breast cancer proteins were observed in 334 and 1223 subcellular locations, respectively. The data obtained is used to evaluate the possibility of defining more exact sets of subcellular organelles, the completeness of current descriptions of spatial distribution of cellular proteins, the importance of multiple subcellular locations for proteins in functional processes, the subcellular distribution of proteins related to breast cancer, and the possibility of using these methods for dynamic spatio/temporal studies of function/regulation in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Neural regulation of energy and bone homeostasis by the synaptic adhesion molecule Calsyntenin-3.

Project description:Neuronal regulation of energy and bone metabolism is important for body homeostasis. Many studies have emphasized the importance of synaptic adhesion molecules in the formation of synapses, but their roles in physiology still await further characterization. Here, we found that the synaptic adhesion molecule Calsyntenin-3 (CLSTN3) regulates energy and bone homeostasis. Clstn3 global knockout mice show reduced body mass with improved leptin sensitivity and increased energy expenditure compared to their wild-type littermates. In addition, Clstn3 knockout mice show reduced marrow volume and cortical bone mass without alteration of trabecular bone microarchitecture. This reduced bone mass is not bone cell-autonomous because neither osteoblast- nor osteoclast-specific Clstn3 knockout mice show bone defects; similarly, in vitro cultures of both Clstn3 knockout osteoblasts and osteoclasts do not show any defects. These reduced body and bone mass phenotypes can be attributed instead to neuronal CLSTN3 because they are recapitulated by pan-neuronal but not sympathetic neuron-specific deletion of Clstn3. This study reveals novel physiological functions of neuronal Clstn3 as a key regulator of energy and bone homeostasis.

Mechanism of homophilic adhesion by the neural cell adhesion molecule: use of multiple domains and flexibility.

Project description:The extracellular regions of adhesion proteins of the Ig superfamily comprise multiple, tandemly arranged domains. We used directforce measurements to investigate how this modular architecture contributes to the adhesive interactions of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), a representative of this protein class. The extracellular region of NCAM comprises five immunoglobulin and two fibronectin domains. Previous investigations generated different models for the mechanism of homophilic adhesion that each use different domains. We use force measurements to demonstrate that NCAM binds in two spatially distinct configurations. Igdomain deletion mutants identified the domains responsible for each of the adhesive bonds. The measurements also confirmed the existence of a flexible hinge that alters the orientation of the adhesive complexes and the intermembrane distance. These results suggest that a combination of multiple bound states and internal molecular flexibility allows for sequentially synergistic bond formation and the ability to accommodate differences in intercellular space.

Predicted mouse peroxisome-targeted proteins and their actual subcellular locations.

Project description:BackgroundThe import of most intraperoxisomal proteins is mediated by peroxisome targeting signals at their C-termini (PTS1) or N-terminal regions (PTS2). Both signals have been integrated in subcellular location prediction programs. However their present performance, particularly of PTS2-targeting did not seem fitting for large-scale screening of sequences.ResultsWe modified an earlier reported PTS1 screening method to identify PTS2-containing mouse candidates using a combination of computational and manual annotation. For rapid confirmation of five new PTS2- and two previously identified PTS1-containing candidates we developed the new cell line CHO-perRed which stably expresses the peroxisomal marker dsRed-PTS1. Using CHO-perRed we confirmed the peroxisomal localization of PTS1-targeted candidate Zadh2. Preliminary characterization of Zadh2 expression suggested non-PPARalpha mediated activation. Notably, none of the PTS2 candidates located to peroxisomes.ConclusionIn a few cases the PTS may oscillate from "silent" to "functional" depending on its surface accessibility indicating the potential for context-dependent conditional subcellular sorting. Overall, PTS2-targeting predictions are unlikely to improve without generation and integration of new experimental data from location proteomics, protein structures and quantitative Pex7 PTS2 peptide binding assays.
