Induction of the FK506-binding protein, FKBP13, under conditions which misfold proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum.

ABSTRACT: In order to determine whether the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal FK506-binding protein, FKBP13, shares properties of ER molecular chaperones, MDCK cells were treated with either tunicamycin or Ca2+ ionophores. By Northern-blot analysis, tunicamycin resulted in a 2-fold rise in FKBP13 mRNA, whereas ionophores (A23187 and ionomycin) caused a more impressive rise in FKBP13 mRNA (up to 5-fold with ionomycin). Actinomycin D chase experiments in ionomycin-treated cells revealed no change in the half-life of FKBP13 mRNA, indicating that the increase in FKBP13 mRNA observed was not due to greater message stability. Moreover, sequencing of the 5' flanking region of the gene for murine FKBP13 revealed significant similarity to similar regions in human BiP (immunoglobulin-binding protein) and the human glucose-regulated protein grp94, including a 37 bp sequence in FKBP13 with approximately 50% identity with the unfolded protein response element of the BiP gene. Together, these data suggest a role for FKBP13 in ER protein folding.

Induction of cortical endoplasmic reticulum by dimerization of a coatomer-binding peptide anchored to endoplasmic reticulum membranes.

Project description:Cortical endoplasmic reticulum (cER) is a permanent feature of yeast cells but occurs transiently in most animal cell types. Ist2p is a transmembrane protein that permanently localizes to the cER in yeast. When Ist2 is expressed in mammalian cells, it induces abundant cER containing Ist2. Ist2 cytoplasmic C-terminal peptide is necessary and sufficient to induce cER. This peptide sequence resembles classic coat protein complex I (COPI) coatomer protein-binding KKXX signals, and indeed the dimerized peptide binds COPI in vitro. Controlled dimerization of this peptide induces cER in cells. RNA interference experiments confirm that coatomer is required for cER induction in vivo, as are microtubules and the microtubule plus-end binding protein EB1. We suggest that Ist2 dimerization triggers coatomer binding and clustering of this protein into domains that traffic at the microtubule growing plus-end to generate the cER beneath the plasma membrane. Sequences similar to the Ist2 lysine-rich tail are found in mammalian STIM proteins that reversibly induce the formation of cER under calcium control.

Localization of the FK506-binding protein, FKBP 13, to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:The function of the immunophilins, FKBP 12 and FKBP 13, which are binding proteins for the immunosuppressant drug FK506 and rapamycin, remains poorly defined, although it has been suggested that immunophilins and immunophilin-like proteins may play a role in protein sorting/folding and intracellular calcium ion regulation. As a first step towards understanding the function of FKBP 13, we studied its subcellular localization by immunoblotting of well-defined subcellular fractions from a canine pancreatic homogenate and immunocytochemical analysis of an overexpressed cloned cDNA for FKBP 13. Whereas FKBP 12 fractionated entirely into the cytosol, virtually all FKBP 13 was found in the rough microsomal fraction which consisted of highly purified rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), along with several well-characterized ER markers [the immunoglobulin heavy-chain binding protein (BiP), grp 94 and ribophorin I]. Moreover, FKBP 13 co-banded with the ER markers on isopycnic sucrose gradients. By immunofluorescence, the overexpressed cDNA for FKBP 13 in Hela cells gave an ER-staining pattern highly similar to that of known ER proteins. Addition of the ligand FK506 did not appear to alter the distribution of FKBP 13. Separation of the ER luminal contents and membrane revealed FKBP 13 to be a luminal ER protein. Since the lumen of the ER is where the folding of membrane and secreted proteins occurs, as well as a major site of intracellular calcium storage, it seems possible that FKBP 13 may be involved in one of these functions.

The polypeptide binding conformation of calreticulin facilitates its cell-surface expression under conditions of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Project description:We define two classes of calreticulin mutants that retain glycan binding activity; those that display enhanced or reduced polypeptide-specific chaperone activity, due to conformational effects. Under normal conditions, neither set of mutants significantly impacts the ability of calreticulin to mediate assembly and trafficking of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules, which are calreticulin substrates. However, in cells treated with thapsigargin, which depletes endoplasmic reticulum calcium, major histocompatibility complex class I trafficking rates are accelerated coincident with calreticulin secretion, and detection of cell-surface calreticulin is dependent on its polypeptide binding conformations. Together, these findings identify a site on calreticulin that is an important determinant of the induction of its polypeptide binding conformation and demonstrate the relevance of the polypeptide binding conformations of calreticulin to endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced interactions.

IRE1 prevents endoplasmic reticulum membrane permeabilization and cell death under pathological conditions.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has emerged as a critical regulator of cell survival. IRE1 is a transmembrane protein with kinase and RNase activities that is localized to the ER and that promotes resistance to ER stress. We showed a mechanism by which IRE1 conferred protection against ER stress-mediated cell death. IRE1 signaling prevented ER membrane permeabilization mediated by Bax and Bak and cell death in cells experiencing ER stress. Suppression of IRE1 signaling triggered by its kinase activity led to the accumulation of the BH3 domain-containing protein Bnip3, which in turn triggered the oligomerization of Bax and Bak in the ER membrane and ER membrane permeabilization. Consequently, in response to ER stress, cells deficient in IRE1 were susceptible to leakage of ER contents, which was associated with the accumulation of calcium in mitochondria, oxidative stress in the cytosol, and ultimately cell death. Our results reveal a role for IRE1 in preventing a cell death-initializing step that emanates from the ER and provide a potential target for treating diseases characterized by ER stress, including diabetes and Wolfram syndrome.

Transcription profiling of human cancer cells treated with unfolded protein response modulators under endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions

Project description:The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular defense mechanism against glucose deprivation, a cell condition that occurs in solid tumors. A key feature of the UPR is the activation of the transcription program that allows the cell to cope with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We used micoarrays to show that the UPR transcription program is disrupted by the antitumor macrocyclic compound versipelostatin (VST) and antidiabetic biguanides metformin, buformin and phenformin, depending on cellular glucose availability. Experiment Overall Design: Total 42 samples were prepared for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Experiment Overall Design: To induce the UPR, we treated cells (HeLa, HT-29, HT1080, MKN74) for 15 or 18 hours under ER stress conditions by replacing the medium with glucose-free medium or by adding either 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) or Tunicamycin (TM) to glucose-containing medium. UPR modulators (VST, biguanides or pyrvinium pamoate) were added at various final concentrations immediately after cells were placed in glucose-free medium or just before the chemical stressors were added to glucose-containing culture medium.

ERdj5 protects goblet cells from endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis under inflammatory conditions

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum stress is closely associated with the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease. ERdj5 is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein disulfide reductase that mediates the cleavage and degradation of misfolded proteins. Although ERdj5 expression is significantly higher in the colonic tissues of patients with inflammatory bowel disease than in healthy controls, its role in inflammatory bowel disease has not yet been reported. Hence, in the current study, we utilized ERdj5-knockout mice to investigate the potential roles of ERdj5 in inflammatory bowel disease. ERdj5 deficiency causes severe inflammation in mouse colitis models and weakens gut barrier function by increasing NF-κB-mediated inflammation. ERdj5 may not be indispensable for goblet cell function under steady-state conditions, while its deficiency induces goblet cell apoptosis under inflammatory stimuli.

Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) causes sepsis-associated acute lung injury via induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Project description:Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP), released into the circulation during sepsis, causes lung injury via an as yet unknown mechanism. Since endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with acute lung injury (ALI), we hypothesized that CIRP causes ALI via induction of ER stress. To test this hypothesis, we studied the lungs of wild-type (WT) and CIRP knockout (KO) mice at 20 h after induction of sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). WT mice had significantly more severe ALI than CIRP KO mice. Lung ER stress markers (BiP, pIRE1α, sXBP1, CHOP, cleaved caspase-12) were increased in septic WT mice, but not in septic CIRP KO mice. Effector pathways downstream from ER stress - apoptosis, NF-κB (p65), proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β), neutrophil chemoattractants (MIP-2, KC), neutrophil infiltration (MPO activity), lipid peroxidation (4-HNE), and nitric oxide (iNOS) - were significantly increased in WT mice, but only mildly elevated in CIRP KO mice. ER stress markers were increased in the lungs of healthy WT mice treated with recombinant murine CIRP, but not in the lungs of TLR4 KO mice. This suggests CIRP directly induces ER stress via TLR4 activation. In summary, CIRP induces lung ER stress and downstream responses to cause sepsis-associated ALI.

Autophagy induction and CHOP under-expression promotes survival of fibroblasts from rheumatoid arthritis patients under endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Project description:IntroductionSynovial fibroblasts from rheumatoid arthritis show resistance to apoptotic stimuli, indicating they may be difficult to treat. To clearly understand these mechanisms of resistance, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF and OASF) were exposed to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress such as thapsigargin, Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor.MethodsFibroblasts were assessed microscopically for cell viability by trypan blue exclusion and for autophagic cells by LC-3II formation. Caspase-3 activity was measured as aminomethyl-coumarin (AMC) liberated from AC-DEVD-AMC. Immunoblotting was performed to compare protein expression in OASF and RASF.ResultsER stress caused cell death in OASF but not in RASF. Thapsigargin, a Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, did not change the expression of GRP78, an ER chaperone in OASF and RASF, but induced another ER stress protein, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) homologous protein (CHOP) differently, showing high levels in OASF and low levels in RASF. Thapsigargin increased the autophagy response in RASF, with autophagosome formation, beclin expression, and LC3-II conversion. Transfection with beclin siRNA inhibited autophagy and increased the susceptibility to ER stress-induced cell death. On the other hand, CHOP siRNA increased autophagy and improved cell survival, especially in RASF, indicating that CHOP is involved in regulation of autophagy and cell death, but that low expression of CHOP protects RASF from apoptosis.ConclusionsAutophagy induction and CHOP under-expression increases cell resistance against ER stress-induced cell death in fibroblasts from rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Quantitative Structural Proteomics Unveils the Conformational Changes of Proteins under the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

Project description:Protein structures are decisive for their activities and interactions with other molecules. Global analysis of protein structures and conformational changes cannot be achieved by commonly used abundance-based proteomics. Here, we integrated cysteine covalent labeling, selective enrichment, and quantitative proteomics to study protein structures and structural changes on a large scale. This method was applied to globally investigate protein structures in HEK293T cells and protein structural changes in the cells with the tunicamycin (Tm)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We quantified several thousand cysteine residues, which contain unprecedented and valuable information of protein structures. Combining this method with pulsed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture, we further analyzed the folding state differences between pre-existing and newly synthesized proteins in cells under the Tm treatment. Besides newly synthesized proteins, unexpectedly, many pre-existing proteins were found to become unfolded upon ER stress, especially those related to gene transcription and protein translation. Furthermore, the current results reveal that N-glycosylation plays a more important role in the folding process of the tertiary and quaternary structures than the secondary structures for newly synthesized proteins. Considering the importance of cysteine in protein structures, this method can be extensively applied in the biological and biomedical research fields.

CDIP1-BAP31 complex transduces apoptotic signals from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria under endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Project description:Resolved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response is essential for intracellular homeostatic balance, but unsettled ER stress can lead to apoptosis. Here, we show that a proapoptotic p53 target, CDIP1, acts as a key signal transducer of ER-stress-mediated apoptosis. We identify B-cell-receptor-associated protein 31 (BAP31) as an interacting partner of CDIP1. Upon ER stress, CDIP1 is induced and enhances an association with BAP31 at the ER membrane. We also show that CDIP1 binding to BAP31 is required for BAP31 cleavage upon ER stress and for BAP31-Bcl-2 association. The recruitment of Bcl-2 to the BAP31-CDIP1 complex, as well as CDIP1-dependent truncated Bid (tBid) and caspase-8 activation, contributes to BAX oligomerization. Genetic knockout of CDIP1 in mice leads to impaired response to ER-stress-mediated apoptosis. Altogether, our data demonstrate that the CDIP1/BAP31-mediated regulation of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway represents a mechanism for establishing an ER-mitochondrial crosstalk for ER-stress-mediated apoptosis signaling.
