Glucose transport activity and photolabelling with 3-[125I]iodo-4-azidophenethylamido-7-O-succinyldeacetyl (IAPS)-forskolin of two mutants at tryptophan-388 and -412 of the glucose transporter GLUT1: dissociation of the binding domains of forskolin and glucose.

ABSTRACT: The tryptophan residues 388 and 412 in the glucose transporter GLUT1 were altered to leucine (L) by site-directed mutagenesis and were transiently expressed in COS-7 cells. As assessed by immunoblotting, comparable numbers of glucose transporters were present in plasma membranes from cells transfected with wild-type GLUT1, GLUT1-L388 or GLUT1-L412. Transfection of the wild-type GLUT1 gave rise to a 3-fold increase in the reconstituted glucose transport activity recovered from plasma membranes. In contrast, transfection of GLUT1-L412 failed to increase the reconstituted transport activity, whereas transfection of GLUT1-L388 produced only a 70% increase. Photolabelling of GLUT1-L412 with 3-[125I]iodo-4-azidophenethylamido-7-O-succinyldeacetyl (125IAPS)-forskolin was not different from that of the wild-type GLUT1, whereas the GLUT1-L388 incorporated 70% less photolabel than did the wild-type GLUT1. These data suggest a dissociation of the binding sites of forskolin and glucose in GLUT1. Whereas both tryptophan-388 and tryptophan-412 appear indispensable for the function of the transporter, only tryptophan-388 is involved in the binding of the inhibitory ligand forskolin.

Role of tryptophan-388 of GLUT1 glucose transporter in glucose-transport activity and photoaffinity-labelling with forskolin.

Project description:GLUT1 glucose-transporter cDNA was modified to substitute leucine for Trp-388 and transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells using the expression vector termed pMTHneo. This tryptophan residue is conserved among most of the facilitative glucose-transporter isoforms and has been proposed to be the photolabelling site of forskolin, a competitive inhibitor of glucose transport. In addition, this residue is located on membrane-spanning helix 10 which is suggested to contain the dynamic segment of the transporter. The mutated glucose transporter was expressed and inserted into the plasma membrane in a fashion similar to the wild-type. Unexpectedly, this mutation did not abolish photolabelling with forskolin. However, the mutation induced a marked decrease in 2-deoxyglucose uptake with a 4-fold decrease in turnover number and a 1.25-fold increase in Km compared with the wild-type GLUT1. A similar decrease in zero-trans influx activity was also observed for 3-O-methylglucose. In contrast, no apparent decrease was observed in zero trans efflux activity for 3-O-methylglucose. The mutation decreased the turnover number of the glucose transporter in equilibrium exchange influx for 3-O-methylglucose by 33% without any change in Km. These results indicate that (1) Trp-388 is not the photolabelling site for forskolin, if we assume that the labelling occurs at a single site and (2) Trp-388 is more likely to be involved in interconversion between the inward-facing and outward-facing conformers of GLUT1 than binding of glucose, and thus, substitution of leucine for Trp-388 in this dynamic segment would decrease the rate of alternating conformation, which would preferentially affect the influx activity.

Replacement of both tryptophan residues at 388 and 412 completely abolished cytochalasin B photolabelling of the GLUT1 glucose transporter.

Project description:A mutated GLUT1 glucose transporter, a Trp-388, 412 mutant whose tryptophans 388 and 412 were both replaced by leucines, was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Glucose transport activity was decreased to approx. 30% in the Trp-388, 412 mutant compared with that in the wild type, a similar decrease in transport activity had been observed previously in the Trp-388 mutant and the Trp-412 mutant which had leucine at 388 and 412 respectively. Cytochalasin B labelling of the Trp-388 mutant was only decreased rather than abolished, a result similar to that obtained previously for the Trp-412 mutant. Cytochalasin B labelling was finally abolished completely in the Trp-388, 412 mutant, while cytochalasin B binding to this mutant was decreased to approx. 30% of that of the wild-type GLUT1 at the concentration used for photolabelling. This level of binding is thought to be adequate to detect labelling, assuming that the labelling efficiency of these transporters is similar. These findings suggest that cytochalasin B binds to the transmembrane domain of the glucose transporter in the vicinity of helix 10-11, and is inserted covalently by photoactivation at either the 388 or the 412 site.

Identification of the glucose transporter in mammalian cell membranes with a 125I-forskolin photoaffinity label.

Project description:The glucose transporter has been identified in a variety of mammalian cell membranes using a photoactivatable carrier-free radioiodinated derivative of forskolin, 3-[125I]iodo-4-azidophenethylamido-7-O-succinyldeacetylforskoli n ([125I]IAPS-forskolin) at 1-3 nM. The membranes that were photolabelled with [125I]IAPS-forskolin were human placental membranes, rat cortical and cerebellar synaptic membranes, rat cardiac sarcolemmal membranes, rat adipocyte plasma membranes, smooth-muscle membranes, and S49 wild-type (WT) lymphoma-cell membranes. The glucose transporter in plasma membranes prepared from the insulin-responsive rat cardiac sarcolemmal cells, rat adipocytes and smooth-muscle cells were determined to be approx. 45 kDa by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Photolysis of human placental membranes, rat cortical and cerebellar synaptic membranes, and WT lymphoma membranes with [125I]-IAPS-forskolin, followed by SDS/PAGE, indicated specific derivatization of a broad band (43-55 kDa) in placental membranes and a narrower band (approx. 45 kDa) in synaptic membranes and WT lymphoma membranes. Digestion of the [125I]IAPS-forskolin-labelled placental and WT lymphoma membranes with endo-beta-galactosidase showed a reduction in the apparent molecular mass of the radiolabelled band to approx. 40 kDa. The membranes that were photolabelled with [125I]IAPS-forskolin and trypsin-treated produced a radiolabelled proteolytic fragment with an apparent molecular mass of 18 kDa. [125I]IAPS-forskolin is a highly effective probe for identifying low levels of glucose transporters in mammalian tissues.

Imaging Pulmonary Foreign Body Reaction Using [125I]iodo-DPA-713 SPECT/CT in Mice.

Project description:PURPOSE:Foreign body reactions elicit granulomatous inflammation composed of reactive macrophages. We hypothesized that [125I]iodo-DPA-713 single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), a low-molecular-weight pyrazolopyrimidine ligand selectively trapped by phagocytes, could be used to detect foreign body reactions in a murine model. PROCEDURES:C57BL/6 mice intratracheally inoculated with dextran beads, which developed foreign body lesions, were imaged after injection of [125I]iodo-DPA-713 or DPA-713-IRDye800CW using SPECT and optical imaging, respectively. RESULTS:Foreign body lesions were clearly observed in the lungs of the dextran-treated mice on computer tomography imaging and demonstrated significantly higher [125I]iodo-DPA-713 uptake compared with control animals (p?<?0.01). Ex vivo studies demonstrated granulomatous reactions in the lungs of dextran-treated mice and localization of DPA-713-IRDye800CW at the diseased sites confirming the imaging findings. CONCLUSION:Radioiodinated DPA-713 may be used as a noninvasive biomarker for the detection of pulmonary foreign body reactions.

Structural signatures and membrane helix 4 in GLUT1: inferences from human blood-brain glucose transport mutants.

Project description:Exon IV of SLC2A1, a multiple facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter gene, is particularly susceptible to mutations that cause GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a human encephalopathy that results from decreased glucose flux through the blood-brain barrier. Genotyping of 100 patients revealed that in a third of them who harbor missense mutations in the GLUT1 transporter, transmembrane domain 4 (TM4), encoded by SLC2A1 exon IV, contains mutant residues that have the periodicity of one face of a kinked alpha-helix. Arg-126, located at the amino terminus of TM4, is the locus for most of the mutations followed by other arginine and glycine residues located elsewhere in the transporter but conserved among MFS proteins. The Arg-126 mutants were constructed and assayed for protein expression, targeting, and transport capacity in Xenopus oocytes. The role of charge at position 126, as well as its accessibility, was investigated in R126H by determining its activity as a function of extracellular pH. The results indicate that intracellular charges at the MFS TM2-3 and TM8-9 signature loops and flanking TMs 3, 5, and 6 are critical for the structure of GLUT1 as are TM glycines and that TM4, located at the catalytic core of MFS proteins, forms a helix that surfaces into the extracellular solution where another proton facilitates transport.

Imaging Macrophage Accumulation in a Murine Model of Chronic Pancreatitis with 125I-Iodo-DPA-713 SPECT/CT.

Project description:Pancreatitis remains a diagnostic challenge in patients with mild to moderate disease, with current imaging modalities being inadequate. Given the prominent macrophage infiltration in chronic pancreatitis, we hypothesized that 125I-iodo-DPA-713, a small-molecule radiotracer that specifically targets macrophages, could be used with SPECT/CT to image pancreatic inflammation in a relevant experimental model. Methods: Chronic pancreatitis was induced with cerulein in C57BL/6 mice, which were contrasted with saline-injected control mice. The animals were imaged at 7 wk after induction using N,N-diethyl-2-(2-(3-125I-iodo-4-methoxyphenyl)-5,7-dimethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)acetamide (125I-iodo-DPA-713) SPECT/CT or 18F-FDG PET/CT. The biodistribution of 125I-iodo-DPA-713 was determined under the same conditions, and a pair of mice was imaged using a fluorescent analog of 125I-iodo-DPA-713, DPA-713-IRDye800CW, for correlative histology. Results: Pancreatic 125I-iodo-DPA-713 uptake was significantly higher in treated mice than control mice (5.17% ± 1.18% vs. 2.41% ± 0.34% injected dose/g, P = 0.02), as corroborated by imaging. Mice imaged with 18F-FDG PET/CT showed cerulein-enhanced pancreatic uptake in addition to a moderate signal from healthy pancreas. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with DPA-713-IRDye800CW showed strong pancreatic uptake, focal liver uptake, and gastrointestinal uptake in the treated mice, whereas the control mice showed only urinary excretion. Ex vivo fluorescence microscopy revealed a large influx of macrophages in the pancreas colocalizing with the retained fluorescent probe in the treated but not the control mice. Conclusion: These data support the application of both 125I-iodo-DPA-713 SPECT/CT and DPA-713-IRDye800CW near-infrared fluorescence to delineate pancreatic, liver, or intestinal inflammation in living mice.

Localization of the forskolin photolabelling site within the monosaccharide transporter of human erythrocytes.

Project description:Chemical and proteolytic digestion of intact erythrocyte glucose transporter as well as purified transporter protein has been used to localize the derivatization site for the photoaffinity agent 3-[125I]iodo-4-azido-phenethylamino-7-O-succinyldeacetylforskol in [( 125I]IAPS-forskolin). Comparison of the partial amino acid sequence of the labelled 18 kDa tryptic fragment with the known amino acid sequence for the HepG2 glucose transporter confirmed that the binding site for IAPS-forskolin is between the amino acid residues Glu254 and Tyr456. Digestion of intact glucose transporter with Pronase suggests that this site is within the membrane bilayer. Digestion of labelled transporter with CNBr generated a major radiolabelled fragment of Mr approximately 5800 putatively identified as residues 365-420. Isoelectric focusing of Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase-treated purified labelled tryptic fragment identified two peptides which likely correspond to amino acid residues 360-380 and 381-393. The common region for these radiolabelled peptides is the tenth putative transmembrane helix of the erythrocyte glucose transporter, comprising amino acid residues 369-389. Additional support for this conclusion comes from studies in which [125I]APS-forskolin was photoincorporated into the L-arabinose/H(+)-transport protein of Escherichia coli. Labelling of this transport protein was protected by both cytochalasin B and D-glucose. The region of the erythrocyte glucose transporter thought to be derivatized with IAPS-forskolin contains a tryptophan residue (Trp388) that is conserved in the sequence of the E. coli arabinose-transport protein.

Glut1-mediated glucose transport regulates HIV infection.

Project description:Cell cycle entry is commonly considered to positively regulate HIV-1 infection of CD4 T cells, raising the question as to how quiescent lymphocytes, representing a large portion of the viral reservoir, are infected in vivo. Factors such as the homeostatic cytokine IL-7 have been shown to render quiescent T cells permissive to HIV-1 infection, presumably by transiently stimulating their entry into the cell cycle. However, we show here that at physiological oxygen (O(2)) levels (2-5% O(2) tension in lymphoid organs), IL-7 stimulation generates an environment permissive to HIV-1 infection, despite a significantly attenuated level of cell cycle entry. We identify the IL-7-induced increase in Glut1 expression, resulting in augmented glucose uptake, as a key factor in rendering these T lymphocytes susceptible to HIV-1 infection. HIV-1 infection of human T cells is abrogated either by impairment of Glut1 signal transduction or by siRNA-mediated Glut1 down-regulation. Consistent with this, we show that the susceptibility of human thymocyte subsets to HIV-1 infection correlates with Glut1 expression; single-round infection is markedly higher in the Glut1-expressing double-positive thymocyte population than in any of the Glut1-negative subsets. Thus, our studies reveal the Glut1-mediated metabolic pathway as a critical regulator of HIV-1 infection in human CD4 T cells and thymocytes.

A forskolin-conjugated insulin analog targeting endogenous glucose-transporter for glucose-responsive insulin delivery.

Project description:Insulin administration for the management of diabetes is accompanied by hypoglycemia, which is expected to be mitigated by glucose-responsive smart insulin that has self-regulation ability in response to blood glucose level (BGL) fluctuation. Here, we have prepared a new insulin analog by modifying insulin with forskolin (designated as insulin-F), a glucose-transporter (Glut) inhibitor. In vitro, insulin-F is capable of binding to Glut on erythrocyte ghosts, which can be inhibited by glucose and cytochalasin B. Upon subcutaneous injection in type 1 diabetic mice, insulin-F maintains BGLs below 200 mg mL-1 for up to 10 h, and achieves 20 h with two sequential injections. Moreover, insulin-F also binds to endogenous Gluts. Upon a glucose challenge, the elevated level of glucose competitively replaces and liberates insulin-F that binds to Glut, rapidly restoring BGLs to the normal range.

New insights into GluT1 mechanics during glucose transfer.

Project description:Glucose plays a crucial role in the mammalian cell metabolism. In the erythrocytes and endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier, glucose uptake is mediated by the glucose transporter type 1 (GluT1). GluT1 deficiency or mutations cause severe physiological disorders. GluT1 is also an important target in cancer therapy as it is overexpressed in tumor cells. Previous studies have suggested that GluT1 mediates solute transfer through a cycle of conformational changes. However, the corresponding 3D structures adopted by the transporter during the transfer process remain elusive. In the present work, we first elucidate the whole conformational landscape of GluT1 in the absence of glucose, using long molecular dynamics simulations and show that the transitions can be accomplished through thermal fluctuations. Importantly, we highlight a strong coupling between intracellular and extracellular domains of the protein that contributes to the transmembrane helices reorientation during the transition. The conformations adopted during the simulations differ from the known 3D bacterial homologs structures resolved in similar states. In holo state simulations, we find that glucose transits along the pathway through significant rotational motions, while maintaining hydrogen bonds with the protein. These persistent motions affect side chains orientation, which impacts protein mechanics and allows glucose progression.
