Met receptor inhibitor SU11274 localizes in the endoplasmic reticulum.

ABSTRACT: We discovered that SU11274, a class I c-Met inhibitor, fluoresces when excited by 488 nm laser light and showed rapid specific accumulation in distinct subcellular compartments. Given that SU11274 reduces cancer cell viability, we exploited these newly identified spectral properties to determine SU11274 intracellular distribution and accumulation in human pancreatic cancer cells. The aim of the studies reported here was to identify organelle(s) to which SU11274 is trafficked. We conclude that SU11274 rapidly and predominantly accumulates in the endoplasmic reticulum.

N-myristoylated c-Abl tyrosine kinase localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum upon binding to an allosteric inhibitor.

Project description:Allosteric kinase inhibitors hold promise for revealing unique features of kinases that may not be apparent using conventional ATP-competitive inhibitors. Here we explore the activity of a previously reported allosteric inhibitor of BCR-Abl kinase, GNF-2, against two cellular isoforms of Abl tyrosine kinase: one that carries a myristate in the N terminus and the other that is deficient in N-myristoylation. Our results show that GNF-2 inhibits the kinase activity of non-myristoylated c-Abl more potently than that of myristoylated c-Abl by binding to the myristate-binding pocket in the C-lobe of the kinase domain. Unexpectedly, indirect immunofluorescence reveals a translocation of myristoylated c-Abl to the endoplasmic reticulum in GNF-2-treated cells, whereas GNF-2 has no detectable effect on the localization of non-myristoylated c-Abl. These results indicate that GNF-2 competes with the NH(2)-terminal myristate for binding to the c-Abl kinase myristate-binding pocket and that the exposed myristoyl group accounts for the localization to the endoplasmic reticulum. We also demonstrate that GNF-2 can inhibit enzymatic and cellular kinase activity of Arg, a kinase highly homologous to c-Abl, which is also likely to be regulated through intramolecular binding of an NH(2)-terminal myristate lipid. These results suggest that non-ATP-competitive inhibitors, such as GNF-2, can serve as chemical tools that can discriminate between c-Abl isoform-specific behaviors.

The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex localizes to the mitochondrial - endoplasmic reticulum interface and its subunits modulate phospholipid biosynthesis in Trypanosoma brucei.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum membrane complex (EMC) is a versatile complex that plays a key role in membrane protein biogenesis in the ER. Deletion of the complex has wide-ranging consequences including ER stress, disturbance in lipid transport and organelle tethering, among others. Here we report the function and organization of the evolutionarily conserved EMC (TbEMC) in the highly diverged eukaryote, Trypanosoma brucei. Using (co-) immunoprecipitation experiments in combination with mass spectrometry and whole cell proteomic analyses of parasites after depletion of select TbEMC subunits, we demonstrate that the TbEMC is composed of 9 subunits that are present in a high molecular mass complex localizing to the mitochondrial-endoplasmic reticulum interface. Knocking out or knocking down of single TbEMC subunits led to growth defects of T. brucei procyclic forms in culture. Interestingly, we found that depletion of individual TbEMC subunits lead to disruption of de novo synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) or phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), the two most abundant phospholipid classes in T. brucei. Downregulation of TbEMC1 or TbEMC3 inhibited formation of PC while depletion of TbEMC8 inhibited PE synthesis, pointing to a role of the TbEMC in phospholipid synthesis. In addition, we found that in TbEMC7 knock-out parasites, TbEMC3 is released from the complex, implying that TbEMC7 is essential for the formation or the maintenance of the TbEMC.

Kif2 localizes to a subdomain of cortical endoplasmic reticulum that drives asymmetric spindle position.

Project description:Asymmetric positioning of the mitotic spindle is a fundamental process responsible for creating sibling cell size asymmetry; however, how the cortex causes the depolymerization of astral microtubules during asymmetric spindle positioning has remained elusive. Early ascidian embryos possess a large cortical subdomain of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that causes asymmetric spindle positioning driving unequal cell division. Here we show that the microtubule depolymerase Kif2 localizes to this subdomain of cortical ER. Rapid live-cell imaging reveals that microtubules are less abundant in the subdomain of cortical ER. Inhibition of Kif2 function prevents the development of mitotic aster asymmetry and spindle pole movement towards the subdomain of cortical ER, whereas locally increasing microtubule depolymerization causes exaggerated asymmetric spindle positioning. This study shows that the microtubule depolymerase Kif2 is localized to a cortical subdomain of endoplasmic reticulum that is involved in asymmetric spindle positioning during unequal cell division.Early ascidian embryos have a cortical subdomain of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that controls asymmetric spindle positioning driving unequal cell division. Here the authors show that the microtubule depolymerase Kif2 is localized to a cortical subdomain of the ER that is involved in asymmetric spindle positioning.

MET Suppresses Epithelial VEGFR2 via Intracrine VEGF-induced Endoplasmic Reticulum-associated Degradation.

Project description:Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drive cancer through their respective receptors, MET and VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2). VEGFR2 inhibits MET by promoting MET dephosphorylation. However, whether MET conversely regulates VEGFR2 remains unknown. Here we show that MET suppresses VEGFR2 protein by inducing its endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), via intracrine VEGF action. HGF-MET signaling in epithelial cancer cells promoted VEGF biosynthesis through PI3-kinase. In turn, VEGF and VEGFR2 associated within the ER, activating inositol-requiring enzyme 1α, and thereby facilitating ERAD-mediated depletion of VEGFR2. MET disruption upregulated VEGFR2, inducing compensatory tumor growth via VEGFR2 and MEK. However, concurrent disruption of MET and either VEGF or MEK circumvented this, enabling more profound tumor inhibition. Our findings uncover unique cross-regulation between MET and VEGFR2-two RTKs that play significant roles in tumor malignancy. Furthermore, these results suggest rational combinatorial strategies for targeting RTK signaling pathways more effectively, which has potentially important implications for cancer therapy.

Receptor-mediated Drp1 oligomerization on endoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:Drp1 is a dynamin guanosine triphosphatase important for mitochondrial and peroxisomal division. Drp1 oligomerization and mitochondrial recruitment are regulated by multiple factors, including interaction with mitochondrial receptors such as Mff, MiD49, MiD51, and Fis. In addition, both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and actin filaments play positive roles in mitochondrial division, but mechanisms for their roles are poorly defined. Here, we find that a population of Drp1 oligomers is associated with ER in mammalian cells and is distinct from mitochondrial or peroxisomal Drp1 populations. Subpopulations of Mff and Fis1, which are tail-anchored proteins, also localize to ER. Drp1 oligomers assemble on ER, from which they can transfer to mitochondria. Suppression of Mff or inhibition of actin polymerization through the formin INF2 significantly reduces all Drp1 oligomer populations (mitochondrial, peroxisomal, and ER bound) and mitochondrial division, whereas Mff targeting to ER has a stimulatory effect on division. Our results suggest that ER can function as a platform for Drp1 oligomerization, and that ER-associated Drp1 contributes to mitochondrial division.

Inhibitory effect of (pro)renin receptor decoy inhibitor PRO20 on endoplasmic reticulum stress during cardiac remodeling.

Project description:Background: Ectopic activation of renin-angiotensin-system contributes to cardiovascular and renal diseases. (Pro)renin receptor (PRR) binds to renin and prorenin, participating in the progression of nephrology. However, whether PRR could be considered as a therapeutic target for cardiac remodeling and heart failure remains unknown. Materials and methods: Transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed to establish a mouse model of chronic pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were isolated and stimulated by Angiotensin II (Ang II). PRR decoy inhibitor PRO20 was synthesized and used to evaluate its effect on cardiac remodeling. Results: Soluble PRR and PRR were significantly upregulated in TAC-induced cardiac remodeling and Ang II-treated CMs and CFs. Results of In vivo experiments showed that suppression of PRR by PRO20 significantly retarded cardiac remodeling and heart failure indicated by morphological and echocardiographic analyses. In vitro experiments, PRO20 inhibited CM hypertrophy, and also alleviated CF activation, proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis. Mechanically, PRO20 enhanced intracellular cAMP levels, but not affected cGMP levels in CMs and CFs. Moreover, treatment of PRO20 in CFs markedly attenuated the production of reactive oxygen species and phosphorylation of IRE1 and PERK, two well-identified markers of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Accordingly, administration of PRO20 reversed ER stressor thapsigargin-induced CM hypertrophy and CF activation/migration. Conclusion: Taken together, these findings suggest that inhibition of PRR by PRO20 attenuates cardiac remodeling through increasing cAMP levels and reducing ER stress in both CMs and CFs.

The β Isoform of Human ATP-Binding Cassette B5 Transporter, ABCB5β, Localizes to the Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Project description:ABCB5β is a member of the ABC transporter superfamily cloned from melanocytes. It has been reported as a marker of skin progenitor cells and melanoma stem cells. ABCB5β has also been shown to exert an oncogenic activity and promote cancer metastasis. However, this protein remains poorly characterized. To elucidate its subcellular localization, we tested several anti-ABCB5 antibodies and prepared several tagged ABCB5β cDNA constructs. We then used a combination of immunofluorescence and biochemical analyses to investigate the presence of ABCB5β in different subcellular compartments of HeLa and MelJuSo cell lines. Treatment of the cells with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 showed that part of the population of newly synthesized ABCB5β is degraded by the proteasome system. Interestingly, treatment with SAHA, a molecule that promotes chaperone-assisted folding, largely increased the expression of ABCB5β. Nevertheless, the overall protein distribution in the cells remained similar to that of control conditions; the protein extensively colocalized with the endoplasmic reticulum marker calnexin. Taken together with cell surface biotinylation studies demonstrating that the protein does not reach the plasma membrane (even after SAHA treatment), the data indicate that ABCB5β is a microsomal protein predominantly localized to the ER.

Mammalian staufen is a double-stranded-RNA- and tubulin-binding protein which localizes to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:Staufen (Stau) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding protein involved in mRNA transport and localization in Drosophila. To understand the molecular mechanisms of mRNA transport in mammals, we cloned human (hStau) and mouse (mStau) staufen cDNAs. In humans, four transcripts arise by differential splicing of the Stau gene and code for two proteins with different N-terminal extremities. In vitro, hStau and mStau bind dsRNA via each of two full-length dsRNA-binding domains and tubulin via a region similar to the microtubule-binding domain of MAP-1B, suggesting that Stau cross-links cytoskeletal and RNA components. Immunofluorescent double labeling of transfected mammalian cells revealed that Stau is localized to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), implicating this RNA-binding protein in mRNA targeting to the RER, perhaps via a multistep process involving microtubules. These results are the first demonstration of the association of an RNA-binding protein in addition to ribosomal proteins, with the RER, implicating this class of proteins in the transport of RNA to its site of translation.

Cargo receptor-assisted endoplasmic reticulum export of pathogenic α1-antitrypsin polymers

Project description:Background: Circulating polymers of alpha1-antitrypsin (α1AT) are chemo-attractant for neutrophils and contribute to inflammation in pulmonary, vascular and adipose tissues. Cellular factors affecting the intracellular itinerary of mutant polymerogenic α1AT remain obscure. Methods: Here, we report on an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen for regulators of trafficking of the polymerogenic α1AT-H334D variant. Single guide RNAs targeting genes whose inactivation enhanced accumulation of polymeric α1AT were enriched by iterative construction of CRISPR libraries based on genomic DNA from fixed cells selected for high polymer content by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. This approach bypassed the limitation to conventional enrichment schemes imposed by cell fixation. Results: Our screen identified 121 genes involved in polymer retention at false discovery rate < 0.1. From that set of genes, the pathway ‘cargo loading into COPII-coated vesicles’ was overrepresented with 16 significant genes, including two transmembrane cargo receptors, LMAN1 (ERGIG-53) and SURF4. LMAN1 and SURF4-disrupted cells displayed a secretion defect extended beyond α1AT monomers to polymers, whose low-level secretion was especially dependent on SURF4 and correlated with SURF4-α1AT-H334D physical interaction and with enhanced co-localisation of polymeric α1AT-H334D with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Conclusions: These findings suggest that ER cargo receptors co-ordinate intracellular progression of α1AT out of the ER and modulate the accumulation of polymeric α1AT not only by controlling the concentration of precursor monomers but also through a previously-unrecognised role in secretion of the polymers themselves.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum Cargo Receptor SURF4 Facilitates Efficient Erythropoietin Secretion.

Project description:Erythropoietin (EPO) stimulates erythroid differentiation and maturation. Though the transcriptional regulation of EPO has been well studied, the molecular determinants of EPO secretion remain unknown. Here, we generated a HEK293T reporter cell line that provides a quantifiable and selectable readout of intracellular EPO levels and performed a genome-scale CRISPR screen that identified SURF4 as an important mediator of EPO secretion. Targeting SURF4 with multiple independent single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) resulted in intracellular accumulation and extracellular depletion of EPO. Both of these phenotypes were rescued by expression of SURF4 cDNA. Additionally, we found that disruption of SURF4 resulted in accumulation of EPO in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) compartment and that SURF4 and EPO physically interact. Furthermore, SURF4 disruption in Hep3B cells also caused a defect in the secretion of endogenous EPO under conditions mimicking hypoxia, ruling out an artifact of heterologous overexpression. This work demonstrates that SURF4 functions as an ER cargo receptor that mediates the efficient secretion of EPO. Our findings also suggest that modulating SURF4 may be an effective treatment for disorders of erythropoiesis that are driven by aberrant EPO levels. Finally, we show that SURF4 overexpression results in increased secretion of EPO, suggesting a new strategy for more efficient production of recombinant EPO.
