Characterization of 14-3-3 proteins in adrenal chromaffin cells and demonstration of isoform-specific phospholipid binding.

ABSTRACT: Isoform-specific antisera were used to examine which 14-3-3 isoforms were present in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. The eta, tau and sigma isoforms were not detectable, and the epsilon isoform was present at only low levels. 14-3-3 isoforms were readily detected with antisera against the beta, gamma and zeta isoforms. The latter isoforms were found to leak from digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells, as expected for cytosolic proteins, but a proportion of each isoform was retained. In subcellular fractionation studies isoforms recognized by the beta and zeta antisera were found in the cytosol and Triton-insoluble cytoskeletal fractions, while the gamma isoform was found in cytosol and also in microsomal and chromaffin granule membrane fractions. The gamma 14-3-3 protein associated with granule membranes was partially removed by a high-salt/carbonate wash, and the membranes could bind further gamma from cytosol or from a purified brain 14-3-3 protein mixture. The binding of gamma 14-3-3 was not Ca(2+)-dependent, nor was it affected by phorbol ester, GTP analogues or cyclic AMP. Using pure phospholipid vesicles it was found that gamma and also epsilon 14-3-3 proteins bound directly to phospholipids. Little binding of brain beta, eta or zeta to phospholipid vesicles was detected. Brain 14-3-3 proteins were also able to aggregate phospholipid vesicles. Recombinant 14-3-3 isoforms (tau and the Xenopus protein) were able to stimulate Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis in digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells. The Xenopus proteins lacks part of the extreme N-terminus, indicating that this domain is not essential for function in exocytosis.

The peripheral binding of 14-3-3? to membranes involves isoform-specific histidine residues.

Project description:Mammalian 14-3-3 protein scaffolds include seven conserved isoforms that bind numerous phosphorylated protein partners and regulate many cellular processes. Some 14-3-3-isoforms, notably ?, have elevated affinity for membranes, which might contribute to modulate the subcellular localization of the partners and substantiate the importance of investigating molecular mechanisms of membrane interaction. By applying surface plasmon resonance we here show that the binding to phospholipid bilayers is stimulated when 14-3-3? is complexed with its partner, a peptide corresponding to the Ser19-phosphorylated N-terminal region of tyrosine hydroxylase. Moreover, membrane interaction is dependent on salts of kosmotropic ions, which also stabilize 14-3-3?. Electrostatic analysis of available crystal structures of ? and of the non-membrane-binding ?-isoform, complemented with molecular dynamics simulations, indicate that the electrostatic potential distribution of phosphopeptide-bound 14-3-3? is optimal for interaction with the membrane through amphipathic helices at the N-terminal dimerization region. In addition, His158, and especially His195, both specific to 14-3-3? and located at the convex lateral side, appeared to be pivotal for the ligand induced membrane interaction, as corroborated by site-directed mutagenesis. The participation of these histidine residues might be associated to their increased protonation upon membrane binding. Overall, these results reveal membrane-targeting motifs and give insights on mechanisms that furnish the 14-3-3? scaffold with the capacity for tuned shuffling from soluble to membrane-bound states.

Rat adrenal chromaffin cells are neonatal CO2 sensors.

Project description:We studied the participation of adrenal medulla (AM) chromaffin cells in hypercapnic chemotransduction. Using amperometric recordings, we measured catecholamine (CAT) secretion from cells in AM slices of neonatal and adult rats perfused with solutions bubbled with different concentrations of CO2. The secretory activity augmented from 1.74 +/- 0.19 pC/min at 5% CO2 to 6.36 +/- 0.77 pC/min at 10% CO2. This response to CO2 was dose dependent and appeared without changes in extracellular pH, although it was paralleled by a drop in intracellular pH. Responsiveness to hypercapnia was higher in neonatal than in adult slices. The secretory response to hypercapnia required extracellular Ca2+ influx. Both the CO2-induced internal pH drop and increase in CAT secretion were markedly diminished by methazolamide (2 microm), a membrane-permeant carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor. We detected the presence of two CA isoforms (CAI and CAII) in neonatal AM slices by in situ hybridization and real-time PCR. The expression of these enzymes decreased in adult AM together with the disappearance of responsiveness to CO2. In patch-clamped chromaffin cells, hypercapnia elicited a depolarizing receptor potential, which led to action potential firing, extracellular Ca2+ influx, and CAT secretion. This receptor potential (inhibited by methazolamide) was primarily attributable to activation of a resting cationic conductance. In addition, voltage-gated K+ current amplitude was also decreased by high CO2. The CO2-sensing properties of chromaffin cells may be of physiologic relevance, particularly for the adaptation of neonates to extrauterine life, before complete maturation of peripheral and central chemoreceptors.

Primate-specific isoform of Nedd4-1 regulates substrate binding via Ser/Thr phosphorylation and 14-3-3 binding.

Project description:Nedd4 (Nedd4-1) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in crucial biological processes such as growth factor receptor signaling. While canonical Nedd4-1 comprises a C2-WW(4)-HECT domain architecture, alternative splicing produces non-canonical isoforms that are poorly characterized. Here we characterized Nedd4-1(NE), a primate-specific isoform of Nedd4-1 that contains a large N-terminal Extension (NE) that replaces most of the C2 domain. We show that Nedd4-1(NE) mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues and cell lines. Moreover, we found that Nedd4-1(NE) is more active than the canonical Nedd4-1 isoform, likely due to the absence of a C2 domain-mediated autoinhibitory mechanism. Additionally, we identified two Thr/Ser phosphoresidues in the NE region that act as binding sites for 14-3-3 proteins, and show that phosphorylation on these sites reduces substrate binding. Finally, we show that the NE region can act as a binding site for the RPB2 subunit of RNA polymerase II, a unique substrate of Nedd4-1(NE) but not the canonical Nedd4-1. Taken together, our results demonstrate that alternative splicing of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-1 can produce isoforms that differ in their catalytic activity, binding partners and substrates, and mechanisms of regulation.

Interleukin-6-mediated signaling in adrenal medullary chromaffin cells.

Project description:The pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-?, and interleukin-1?/? modulate catecholamine secretion, and long-term gene regulation, in chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. Since interleukin-6 (IL6) also plays a key integrative role during inflammation, we have examined its ability to affect both tyrosine hydroxylase activity and adrenomedullary gene transcription in cultured bovine chromaffin cells. IL6 caused acute tyrosine/threonine phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and serine/tyrosine phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). Consistent with ERK1/2 activation, IL6 rapidly increased tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation (serine-31) and activity, as well as up-regulated genes, encoding secreted proteins including galanin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, gastrin-releasing peptide, and parathyroid hormone-like hormone. The effects of IL6 on the entire bovine chromaffin cell transcriptome were compared to those generated by G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) agonists (histamine and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) and the cytokine receptor agonists (interferon-? and tumor necrosis factor-?). Of 90 genes up-regulated by IL6, only 16 are known targets of IL6 in the immune system. Those remaining likely represent a combination of novel IL6/STAT3 targets, ERK1/2 targets and, potentially, IL6-dependent genes activated by IL6-induced transcription factors, such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1?. Notably, genes induced by IL6 include both neuroendocrine-specific genes activated by GPCR agonists, and transcripts also activated by the cytokines. These results suggest an integrative role for IL6 in the fine-tuning of the chromaffin cell response to a wide range of physiological and paraphysiological stressors, particularly when immune and endocrine stimuli converge.

Monkey adrenal chromaffin cells express ?6?4* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Project description:Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that contain ?6 and ?4 subunits have been demonstrated functionally in human adrenal chromaffin cells, rat dorsal root ganglion neurons, and on noradrenergic terminals in the hippocampus of adolescent mice. In human adrenal chromaffin cells, ?6?4* nAChRs (the asterisk denotes the possible presence of additional subunits) are the predominant subtype whereas in rodents, the predominant nAChR is the ?3?4* subtype. Here we present molecular and pharmacological evidence that chromaffin cells from monkey (Macaca mulatta) also express ?6?4* receptors. PCR was used to show the presence of transcripts for ?6 and ?4 subunits and pharmacological characterization was performed using patch-clamp electrophysiology in combination with ?-conotoxins that target the ?6?4* subtype. Acetylcholine-evoked currents were sensitive to inhibition by BuIA[T5A,P6O] and MII[H9A,L15A]; ?-conotoxins that inhibit ?6-containing nAChRs. Two additional agonists were used to probe for the expression of ?7 and ?2-containing nAChRs. Cells with currents evoked by acetylcholine were relatively unresponsive to the ?7-selctive agonist choline but responded to the agonist 5-I-A-85380. These studies provide further insights into the properties of natively expressed ?6?4* nAChRs.

Serotonin limits generation of chromaffin cells during adrenal organ development.

Project description:Adrenal glands are the major organs releasing catecholamines and regulating our stress response. The mechanisms balancing generation of adrenergic chromaffin cells and protecting against neuroblastoma tumors are still enigmatic. Here we revealed that serotonin (5HT) controls the numbers of chromaffin cells by acting upon their immediate progenitor "bridge" cells via 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3A (HTR3A), and the aggressive HTR3Ahigh human neuroblastoma cell lines reduce proliferation in response to HTR3A-specific agonists. In embryos (in vivo), the physiological increase of 5HT caused a prolongation of the cell cycle in "bridge" progenitors leading to a smaller chromaffin population and changing the balance of hormones and behavioral patterns in adulthood. These behavioral effects and smaller adrenals were mirrored in the progeny of pregnant female mice subjected to experimental stress, suggesting a maternal-fetal link that controls developmental adaptations. Finally, these results corresponded to a size-distribution of adrenals found in wild rodents with different coping strategies.

Isoform-specific subcellular localization among 14-3-3 proteins in Arabidopsis seems to be driven by client interactions.

Project description:In most higher eukaryotes, the predominantly phosphoprotein-binding 14-3-3 proteins are the products of a multigene family, with many organisms having 10 or more family members. However, current models for 14-3-3/phosphopeptide interactions suggest that there is little specificity among 14-3-3s for diverse phosphopeptide clients. Therefore, the existence of sequence diversity among 14-3-3s within a single organism begs questions regarding the in vivo specificities of the interactions between the various 14-3-3s and their clients. Chief among those questions is, Do the different 14-3-3 isoforms interact with different clients within the same cell? Although the members of the Arabidopsis 14-3-3 family of proteins typically contain highly conserved regions of sequence, they also display distinctive variability with deep evolutionary roots. In the current study, a survey of several Arabidopsis 14-3-3/GFP fusions revealed that 14-3-3s demonstrate distinct and differential patterns of subcellular distribution, by using trichomes and stomate guard cells as in vivo experimental cellular contexts. The effects of client interaction on 14-3-3 localization were further analyzed by disrupting the partnering with peptide and chemical agents. Results indicate that 14-3-3 localization is both isoform specific and highly dependent upon interaction with cellular clients.

Characterization of the Tau Interactome in Human Brain Reveals Isoform-Dependent Interaction with 14-3-3 Family Proteins.

Project description:Despite exhibiting tau phosphorylation similar to Alzheimer's disease (AD), the human fetal brain is remarkably resilient to tau aggregation and toxicity. To identify potential mechanisms for this resilience, we used co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) with mass spectrometry to characterize the tau interactome in human fetal, adult, and Alzheimer's disease brains. We found significant differences between the tau interactome in fetal and AD brain tissue, with little difference between adult and AD, although these findings are limited by the low throughput and small sample size of these experiments. Differentially interacting proteins were enriched for 14-3-3 domains, and we found that the 14-3-3-β, η, and γ isoforms interacted with phosphorylated tau in Alzheimer's disease but not the fetal brain. Since long isoform (4R) tau is only seen in the adult brain and this is one of the major differences between fetal and AD tau, we tested the ability of our strongest hit (14-3-3-β) to interact with 3R and 4R tau using co-immunoprecipitation, mass photometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We found that 14-3-3-β interacts preferentially with phosphorylated 4R tau, forming a complex consisting of two 14-3-3-β molecules to one tau. By NMR, we mapped 14-3-3 binding regions on tau that span the second microtubule binding repeat, which is unique to 4R tau. Our findings suggest that there are isoform-driven differences between the phospho-tau interactome in fetal and Alzheimer's disease brain, including differences in interaction with the critical 14-3-3 family of protein chaperones, which may explain, in part, the resilience of fetal brain to tau toxicity.
