Project description:The Orai1-STIM1 current undergoes slow Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation (SCDI) mediated by the binding of SARAF to STIM1. Here we report the use of SCDI by SARAF as a probe of the conformation and microdomain localization of the Orai1-STIM1 complex. We find that the interaction of STIM1 with Orai1 carboxyl terminus (C terminus) and the STIM1 K-domain are required for the interaction of SARAF with STIM1 and SCDI. STIM1-Orai1 must be in a PM/ER microdomain tethered by E-Syt1, stabilized by septin4 and enriched in PI(4,5)P2 for STIM1-SARAF interaction. Targeting STIM1 to PI(4,5)P2-rich and -poor microdomains reveals that SARAF-dependent SCDI is observed only when STIM1-Orai1 are within the PI(4,5)P2-rich microdomain. Notably, store depletion results in transient localization of STIM1-Orai1 in the PI(4,5)P2-poor microdomain, which then translocates to the PI(4,5)P2-rich domain. These findings reveal the role of PM/ER tethers in the regulation of Orai1 function and a mode of regulation by PI(4,5)P2 involving translocation between PI(4,5)P2 microdomains.

Project description:We screened proteins in close proximity to PI(4,5)P2 in epithelial cells. We established HaCaT cells stably expressing APEX2 N-terminally fused to the PH domain of PLCd1, which specifically binds to PI(4,5)P2. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide and biotin-phenol, proteins proximal to APEX2 are biotinylated by APEX2, allowing for their enrichment using streptavidin beads. APEX2-fused non-PI(4,5) P2-binding mutant of the PH domain of PLCd1 (R40L) was used as the negative control.

Project description:Transient receptor potential melastatin member 4 (TRPM4) and 5 (TRPM5) channels are Ca2+-activated nonselective cation channels. Intracellular Ca2+ is the most important regulator for them to open, though PI(4,5)P2, a membrane phosphoinositide, has been reported to regulate their Ca2+-sensitivities. We previously reported that negatively-charged amino acid residues near and in the TRP domain are necessary for the normal Ca2+ sensitivity of TRPM4. More recently, a cryo-electron microscopy structure of Ca2+-bound (but closed) TRPM4 was reported, proposing a Ca2+-binding site within an intracellular cavity formed by S2 and S3. Here, we examined the functional effects of mutations of the amino acid residues related to the proposed Ca2+-binding site on TRPM4 and also TRPM5 using mutagenesis and patch clamp techniques. The mutations of the amino acid residues of TRPM4 and TRPM5 reduced their Ca2+-sensitivities in a similar way. On the other hand, intracellular applications of PI(4,5)P2 recovered Ca2+-sensitivity of desensitized TRPM4, but its effect on TRPM5 was negligible. From these results, the Ca2+-binding sites of TRPM4 and TRPM5 were shown to be formed by the same amino acid residues by functional analyses, but the impact of PI(4,5)P2 on the regulation of TRPM5 seemed to be smaller than that on the regulation of TRPM4.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) regulates activities of numerous ion channels including inwardly rectifying potassium (K(ir)) channels, KCNQ, TRP, and voltage-gated calcium channels. Several studies suggest that voltage-gated potassium (K(V)) channels might be regulated by PI(4,5)P(2). Wide expression of K(V) channels in different cells suggests that such regulation could have broad physiological consequences. To study regulation of K(V) channels by PI(4,5)P(2), we have coexpressed several of them in tsA-201 cells with a G protein-coupled receptor (M(1)R), a voltage-sensitive lipid 5-phosphatase (Dr-VSP), or an engineered fusion protein carrying both lipid 4-phosphatase and 5-phosphatase activity (pseudojanin). These tools deplete PI(4,5)P(2) with application of muscarinic agonists, depolarization, or rapamycin, respectively. PI(4,5)P(2) at the plasma membrane was monitored by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from PH probes of PLCδ1 simultaneously with whole-cell recordings. Activation of Dr-VSP or recruitment of pseudojanin inhibited K(V)7.1, K(V)7.2/7.3, and K(ir)2.1 channel current by 90-95%. Activation of M(1)R inhibited K(V)7.2/7.3 current similarly. With these tools, we tested for potential PI(4,5)P(2) regulation of activity of K(V)1.1/K(V)β1.1, K(V)1.3, K(V)1.4, and K(V)1.5/K(V)β1.3, K(V)2.1, K(V)3.4, K(V)4.2, K(V)4.3 (with different KChIPs and DPP6-s), and hERG/KCNE2. Interestingly, we found a substantial removal of inactivation for K(V)1.1/K(V)β1.1 and K(V)3.4, resulting in up-regulation of current density upon activation of M(1)R but no changes in activity upon activating only VSP or pseudojanin. The other channels tested except possibly hERG showed no alteration in activity in any of the assays we used. In conclusion, a depletion of PI(4,5)P(2) at the plasma membrane by enzymes does not seem to influence activity of most tested K(V) channels, whereas it does strongly inhibit members of the K(V)7 and K(ir) families.

Project description:β-arrestins regulate many cellular functions including intracellular signaling and desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Previous studies show that β-arrestin signaling and receptor endocytosis are modulated by the plasma membrane phosphoinositide lipid phosphatidylinositol-(4, 5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). We found that β-arrestin also helped promote synthesis of PI(4,5)P2 and up-regulated GPCR endocytosis. We studied these questions with the Gq-coupled protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2), which activates phospholipase C, desensitizes quickly, and undergoes extensive endocytosis. Phosphoinositides were monitored and controlled in live cells using lipid-specific fluorescent probes and genetic tools. Applying PAR2 agonist initiated depletion of PI(4,5)P2, which then recovered during rapid receptor desensitization, giving way to endocytosis. This endocytosis could be reduced by various manipulations that depleted phosphoinositides again right after phosphoinositide recovery: PI(4)P, a precusor of PI(4,5)P2, could be depleted at either the Golgi or the plasma membrane (PM) using a recruitable lipid 4-phosphatase enzyme and PI(4,5)P2 could be depleted at the PM using a recruitable 5-phosphatase. Endocytosis required the phosphoinositides. Knock-down of β-arrestin revealed that endogenous β-arrestin normally doubles the rate of PIP5-kinase (PIP5K) after PAR2 desensitization, boosting PI(4,5)P2-dependent formation of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs) at the PM. Desensitized PAR2 receptors were swiftly immobilized when they encountered CCPs, showing a dwell time of ∼90 s, 100 times longer than for unactivated receptors. PAR2/β-arrestin complexes eventually accumulated around the edges or across the surface of CCPs promoting transient binding of PIP5K-Iγ. Taken together, β-arrestins can coordinate potentiation of PIP5K activity at CCPs to induce local PI(4,5)P2 generation that promotes recruitment of PI(4,5)P2-dependent endocytic machinery.

Project description:Objective:Phosphoinositides play a regulatory role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. However, their involvement in clathrin-independent endocytosis termed rapid endocytosis (RE), which is the mode of vesicle recycling during neurotransmitter release by transient fusion (known as kiss-and-run), has not been investigated. Here, we used patch-clamp recording of whole-cell membrane capacitance in adrenal chromaffin cells (ACC) to monitor changes of RE kinetics in response to pharmacological alteration of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) level by phenylarsine oxide (PAO) or antibody against phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (AbPI4K). Results:We found that PAO and AbPI4K significantly abrogated RE kinetics. Infusion of PI(4,5)P2 through the patch pipette potentiated RE kinetics and reversed PAO- and AbPI4K-induced blockade of RE. Similarly, the application of the bifunctional thiol dithiothreitol (DTT) to PAO-treated cells completely prevented the inhibitory effect of PAO on RE. These findings indicate that PI(4,5)P2 is implicated in the signaling (mechanistic) process of RE in ACC.

Project description:Dysferlin is a large membrane protein found most prominently in striated muscle. Loss of dysferlin activity is associated with reduced exocytosis, abnormal intracellular Ca2+ and the muscle diseases limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Miyoshi myopathy. The cytosolic region of dysferlin consists of seven C2 domains with mutations in the C2A domain at the N-terminus resulting in pathology. Despite the importance of Ca2+ and membrane binding activities of the C2A domain for dysferlin function, the mechanism of the domain remains poorly characterized. In this study we find that the C2A domain preferentially binds membranes containing PI(4,5)P2 through an interaction mediated by residues Y23, K32, K33, and R77 on the concave face of the domain. We also found that subsequent to membrane binding, the C2A domain inserts residues on the Ca2+ binding loops into the membrane. Analysis of solution NMR measurements indicate that the domain inhabits two distinct structural states, with Ca2+ shifting the population between states towards a more rigid structure with greater affinity for PI(4,5)P2. Based on our results, we propose a mechanism where Ca2+ converts C2A from a structurally dynamic, low PI(4,5)P2 affinity state to a high affinity state that targets dysferlin to PI(4,5)P2 enriched membranes through interaction with Tyr23, K32, K33, and R77. Binding also involves changes in lipid packing and insertion by the third Ca2+ binding loop of the C2 domain into the membrane, which would contribute to dysferlin function in exocytosis and Ca2+ regulation.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is critical for HIV-1 virus assembly. The viral membrane is enriched in PIP2, suggesting that the virus assembles at PIP2-rich microdomains. We showed previously that in model membranes PIP2 can form nanoscopic clusters bridged by multivalent cations. Here, using purified proteins we quantitated the binding of HIV-1 Gag-related proteins to giant unilamellar vesicles containing either clustered or free PIP2. Myristoylated MA strongly preferred binding to clustered PIP2. By contrast, unmyristoylated HIV-1 MA, RSV MA, and a PH domain all preferred to interact with free PIP2. We also found that HIV-1 Gag multimerization promotes PIP2 clustering. Truncated Gag proteins comprising the MA, CA, and SP domains (MACASP) or the MA and CA domains (MACA) induced self-quenching of acyl chain-labeled fluorescent PIP2 in liposomes, implying clustering. However, HIV-1 MA itself did not induce PIP2 clustering. A CA inter-hexamer dimer interface mutation led to a loss of induced PIP2 clustering in MACA, indicating the importance of protein multimerization. Cryo-electron tomography of liposomes with bound MACA showed an amorphous protein layer on the membrane surface. Thus, it appears that while protein-protein interactions are required for PIP2 clustering, formation of a regular lattice is not. Protein-induced PIP2 clustering and multivalent cation-induced PIP2 clustering are additive. Taken together, these results provide the first evidence that HIV-1 Gag can selectively target pre-existing PIP2-enriched domains of the plasma membrane for viral assembly, and that Gag multimerization can further enrich PIP2 at assembly sites. These effects could explain the observed PIP2 enrichment in HIV-1.

Project description:FGF2 is a cell survival factor involved in tumor-induced angiogenesis that is secreted through an unconventional secretory pathway based upon direct protein translocation across the plasma membrane. Here, we demonstrate that both PI(4,5)P2-dependent FGF2 recruitment at the inner plasma membrane leaflet and FGF2 membrane translocation into the extracellular space are positively modulated by cholesterol in living cells. We further revealed cholesterol to enhance FGF2 binding to PI(4,5)P2-containing lipid bilayers. Based on extensive atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and membrane tension experiments, we proposed cholesterol to modulate FGF2 binding to PI(4,5)P2 by (i) increasing head group visibility of PI(4,5)P2 on the membrane surface, (ii) increasing avidity by cholesterol-induced clustering of PI(4,5)P2 molecules triggering FGF2 oligomerization, and (iii) increasing membrane tension facilitating the formation of lipidic membrane pores. Our findings have general implications for phosphoinositide-dependent protein recruitment to membranes and explain the highly selective targeting of FGF2 toward the plasma membrane, the subcellular site of FGF2 membrane translocation during unconventional secretion of FGF2.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) has been recognized as an important activator of certain transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. More specifically, TRPV1 is a pain receptor activated by a wide range of stimuli. However, whether or not PI(4,5)P2 is a TRPV1 agonist remains open to debate. Utilizing a combined approach of mutagenesis and molecular modeling, we identified a PI(4,5)P2 binding site located between the TRP box and the S4-S5 linker. At this site, PI(4,5)P2 interacts with the amino acid residues Arg-575 and Arg-579 in the S4-S5 linker and with Lys-694 in the TRP box. We confirmed that PI(4,5)P2 behaves as a channel agonist and found that Arg-575, Arg-579, and Lys-694 mutations to alanine reduce PI(4,5)P2 binding affinity. Additionally, in silico mutations R575A, R579A, and K694A showed that the reduction in binding affinity results from the delocalization of PI(4,5)P2 in the binding pocket. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that PI(4,5)P2 binding induces conformational rearrangements of the structure formed by S6 and the TRP domain, which cause an opening of the lower TRPV1 channel gate.
