Asc1p, a WD40-domain containing adaptor protein, is required for the interaction of the RNA-binding protein Scp160p with polysomes.

ABSTRACT: Scp160p interacts in an mRNA-dependent manner with translating ribosomes via multiple RNA-binding heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K-homology (KH) domains. In the present study, we show by protein-protein cross-linking that Scp160p is in close proximity to translation elongation factor 1A and the WD40 (Trp-Asp 40)-repeat containing protein Asc1p at ribosomes. Analysis of a truncation mutant revealed that the C-terminus of Scp160p is essential for ribosome binding and that Cys(1067) at the C-terminus of Scp160p is required to obtain these cross-links. The interaction of Scp160p with ribosomes depends on Asc1p. In fast-growing yeast cells, nearly all Asc1p is tightly bound to ribosomes, but it can also be present in a ribosome-free form depending on growth conditions. The functional homologue of Asc1p, mammalian RACK1 (receptor of activated C kinase), was previously characterized as an adaptor protein bridging activated signalling molecules with their substrates. Our results suggest that Scp160p connects specific mRNAs, ribosomes and a translation factor with an adaptor for signalling molecules. These interactions might regulate the translation activity of ribosomes programmed with specific mRNAs.

BORIS/CTCFL is an RNA-binding protein that associates with polysomes.

Project description:BORIS (CTCFL), a paralogue of the multifunctional and ubiquitously expressed transcription factor CTCF, is best known for its role in transcriptional regulation. In the nucleus, BORIS is particularly enriched in the nucleolus, a crucial compartment for ribosomal RNA and RNA metabolism. However, little is known about cytoplasmic BORIS, which represents the major pool of BORIS protein.We show, firstly, that BORIS has a putative nuclear export signal in the C-terminal domain. Furthermore, BORIS associates with mRNA in both neural stem cells and young neurons. The majority of the BORIS-associated transcripts are different in the two cell types. Finally, by using polysome profiling we show that BORIS is associated with actively translating ribosomes.We have demonstrated the RNA binding properties of cellular BORIS and its association with actively translating ribosomes. We suggest that BORIS is involved in gene expression at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.

The WD40 domain is required for LRRK2 neurotoxicity.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson disease (PD). LRRK2 contains an "enzymatic core" composed of GTPase and kinase domains that is flanked by leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and WD40 protein-protein interaction domains. While kinase activity and GTP-binding have both been implicated in LRRK2 neurotoxicity, the potential role of other LRRK2 domains has not been as extensively explored. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:We demonstrate that LRRK2 normally exists in a dimeric complex, and that removing the WD40 domain prevents complex formation and autophosphorylation. Moreover, loss of the WD40 domain completely blocks the neurotoxicity of multiple LRRK2 PD mutations. CONCLUSION:These findings suggest that LRRK2 dimerization and autophosphorylation may be required for the neurotoxicity of LRRK2 PD mutations and highlight a potential role for the WD40 domain in the mechanism of LRRK2-mediated cell death.

The Prp19 WD40 domain contains a conserved protein interaction region essential for its function.

Project description:Prp19 is a member of the WD40 repeat family of E3 ubiquitin ligases and a conserved eukaryotic RNA splicing factor essential for activation and stabilization of the spliceosome. To understand the role of the WD40 repeat domain of Prp19 we have determined its structure using X-ray crystallography. The domain has a distorted seven bladed WD40 architecture with significant asymmetry due to irregular packing of blades one and seven into the core of the WD40 domain. Structure-based mutagenesis identified a highly conserved surface centered around blade five that is required for the physical interaction between Prp19 and Cwc2, another essential splicing factor. This region is found to be required for Prp19 function and yeast viability. Experiments in vitro and in vivo demonstrate that two molecules of Cwc2 bind to the Prp19 tetramer. These coupled structural and functional studies provide a model for the functional architecture of Prp19.

A Dictyostelium SH2 domain adaptor protein required for correct DIF-1 signaling and pattern formation

Project description:When developing in the light slug formation in LrrB null (lrrB-) mutants is delayed, relative to the parental strain, and the slugs are highly defective in phototaxis and thermotaxis. In the dark the mutant arrests development as an elongated mound, in a novel process we term dark stalling. The developmental and phototaxis defects are cell autonomous and marker analysis shows that the pstO prestalk sub-region of the slug is aberrant in the lrrB- mutant. Expression profiling reveals many other alterations in gene expression in lrrB- slugs compared to the wild-type parental Ax2 line, including greatly reduced expression of the ecmB gene.

Insight into Phosphatidylinositol-Dependent Membrane Localization of the Innate Immune Adaptor Protein Toll/Interleukin 1 Receptor Domain-Containing Adaptor Protein.

Project description:The toll/interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor protein (TIRAP) plays an important role in the toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4, TLR7, and TLR9 signaling pathways. TIRAP anchors to phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) on the plasma membrane and PI (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) on the endosomal membrane and assists in recruitment of the myeloid differentiation primary response 88 protein to activated TLRs. To date, the structure and mechanism of TIRAP's membrane association are only partially understood. Here, we modeled an all-residue TIRAP dimer using homology modeling, threading, and protein-protein docking strategies. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that PIP2 creates a stable microdomain in a dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer, providing TIRAP with its physiologically relevant orientation. Computed binding free energy values suggest that the affinity of PI-binding domain (PBD) for PIP2 is stronger than that of TIRAP as a whole for PIP2 and that the short PI-binding motif (PBM) contributes to the affinity between PBD and PIP2. Four PIP2 molecules can be accommodated by distinct lysine-rich surfaces on the dimeric PBM. Along with the known PI-binding residues (K15, K16, K31, and K32), additional positively charged residues (K34, K35, and R36) showed strong affinity toward PIP2. Lysine-to-alanine mutations at the PI-binding residues abolished TIRAP's affinity for PIP2; however, K34, K35, and R36 consistently interacted with PIP2 headgroups through hydrogen bond (H-bond) and electrostatic interactions. TIRAP exhibited a PIP2-analogous intermolecular contact and binding affinity toward PIP3, aided by an H-bond network involving K34, K35, and R36. The present study extends our understanding of TIRAP's membrane association, which could be helpful in designing peptide decoys to block TLR2-, TLR4-, TLR7-, and TLR9-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Brucella TIR Domain-containing Protein Mimics Properties of the Toll-like Receptor Adaptor Protein TIRAP.

Project description:Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play essential roles in the activation of innate immune responses against microbial infections. TLRs and downstream adaptor molecules contain a conserved cytoplasmic TIR domain. TIRAP is a TIR domain-containing adaptor protein that recruits the signaling adaptor MyD88 to a subset of TLRs. Many pathogenic microorganisms subvert TLR signaling pathways to suppress host immune responses to benefit their survival and persistence. Brucella encodes a TIR domain-containing protein (TcpB) that inhibits TLR2- and TLR4-mediated NF-kappaB activation. Sequence analysis indicated a moderate level of similarity between TcpB and the TLR adaptor molecule TIRAP. We found that TcpB could efficiently block TIRAP-induced NF-kappaB activation. Subsequent studies revealed that by analogy to TIRAP, TcpB interacts with phosphoinositides through its N-terminal domain and colocalizes with the plasma membrane and components of the cytoskeleton. Our findings suggest that TcpB targets the TIRAP-mediated pathway to subvert TLR signaling. In vivo mouse studies indicated that TcpB-deficient Brucella is defective in systemic spread at the early stages of infection.

The WD40 and FYVE domain containing protein 2 defines a class of early endosomes necessary for endocytosis.

Project description:The FYVE domain binds with high specificity and avidity to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. It is present in approximately 30 proteins in humans, some of which have been implicated in functions ranging from early endosome fusion to signal transduction through the TGF-beta receptor. To develop a further understanding of the biological roles of this protein family, we turned to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, which contains only 12 genes predicted to encode for phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate binding, FYVE domain-containing proteins, all of which have homologs in the human genome. Each of these proteins was targeted individually by RNA interference. One protein, WDFY2, produced a strong inhibition of endocytosis when silenced. WDFY2 contains WD40 motifs and a FYVE domain, is highly conserved between species, and localizes to a set of small endosomes that reside within 100 nm from the plasma membrane. These endosomes are involved in transferrin uptake but lack the classical endosomal markers Rab5 and EEA1. Silencing of WDFY2 by siRNA in mammalian cells impaired transferrin endocytosis. These studies reveal the important, conserved role of WDFY2 in endocytosis, and the existence of a subset of early endosomes, closely associated with the plasma membrane, that may constitute the first stage of endocytic processing of internalized cargo.

Central role of the TIR-domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β (TRIF) adaptor protein in murine sterile liver injury.

Project description:Multiple pathways drive the sterile injury response in the liver; however, it is unclear how the type of cells injured or the mechanism of injury activates these pathways. Here, we use a model of selective hepatocyte death to investigate sterile liver injury. In this model, the TIR-domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β (TRIF) was a central mediator of the resulting intrahepatic inflammatory response that was independent of both upstream Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling and downstream type I interferon (IFN) signaling. TRIF was required for induction of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, and IL-1β cytokines. Conversely, although induction of C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL) 2 and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL) 1 chemokines and up-regulation of chemokine (Ccl2, Ccl7, Cxcl1, Cxcl2, and Cxcl10) and cell-adhesion (intracellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1) genes involved in myeloid cell recruitment was reduced in a majority of TRIF-/- mice, a subset of TRIF-/- mice showed breakthrough inflammation and the ability to induce these genes and proteins, indicating that redundant pathways exist to respond to hepatocyte death. Furthermore, we found that hepatocytes themselves were the main responders to hepatocyte death, increasing transcription of genes involved in myeloid cell recruitment more than either liver sinusoidal endothelial cells or Kupffer cells.ConclusionOur studies define a TRIF-dependent, TLR4- and type I IFN-independent pathway of sterile liver injury in which hepatocytes are both the targets of damage and the principal responding cell type.

Regulation of Arf6 and ACAP1 signaling by the PTB-domain-containing adaptor protein GULP.

Project description:The GTPase Arf6 regulates multiple cellular processes, including endocytosis, secretion, phagocytosis, cell adhesion, and cell migration [1, 2]. The Arf6-specific GAP ACAP1 is a negative regulator of Arf6-mediated signaling [3-7]. However, regulation of ACAP1- and Arf6-mediated signaling by other cellular proteins is not well understood. GULP/CED-6 is a phosphotyrosine binding (PTB)-domain-containing adaptor protein linked to engulfment of apoptotic cells [8-13] and to cholesterol homeostasis [14]. Here, we identify a novel role for GULP as a positive regulator of Arf6. Knockdown of GULP decreased cellular Arf6-GTP, whereas GULP overexpression increased cellular Arf6-GTP. At the mechanistic level, GULP influenced Arf6 at four levels. First, GULP bound directly to GDP-bound Arf6 via its PTB domain. Second, GULP associated with the Arf6-GAP ACAP1 at endogenous levels. Third, GULP reversed the Arf6-GTP decrease induced by ACAP1, and countered the ACAP1-mediated inhibition of cell migration. Fourth, GULP, ACAP1, and GDP-bound Arf6 were part of a tripartite complex, suggesting sequestration of ACAP1 as one mechanism of GULP action. Taken together, these data identify GULP as a modifier of cellular Arf6-GTP through regulation of ACAP1. Because PTB-domain-containing adaptor proteins influence endocytosis and trafficking of membrane proteins and cell migration [15, 16], our data support a model wherein PTB-domain-containing adaptor proteins regulate Arf family proteins.

Starch-binding domain-containing protein 1 (Stbd1) and glycogen metabolism: Identification of the Atg8 family interacting motif (AIM) in Stbd1 required for interaction with GABARAPL1.

Project description:Glycogen, a branched polymer of glucose, acts as an intracellular carbon and energy reserve in many tissues and cell types. An important pathway for its degradation is by transport to lysosomes in an autophagy-like process. It has been proposed that starch-binding domain-containing protein 1 (Stbd1) may participate in this mechanism by anchoring glycogen to intracellular membranes. In addition, Stbd1 has been reported to interact with a known autophagy protein, GABARAPL1, a member of the Atg8 family. Here, we confirm this interaction and identify an Atg8 interacting motif (AIM) in Stbd1 necessary for GABARAPL1 binding as judged by co-immunoprecipitation from cell extracts and co-localization in cells as evidenced by immunofluorescence microscopy. The AIM sequence of Stbd1 (200)HEEWEMV(206) lies within a predicted disordered region of the molecule and fits the consensus of other AIM sequences in cargo-specifying proteins such as p62 and Nix. Mutation of the AIM, including single point mutations of either W203 or V206, eliminated the co-localization of Stbd1 with both over-expressed and endogenous GABARAPL1. Stbd1 may therefore function as a novel cargo binding protein that delivers glycogen to lysosomes in an autophagic pathway that could be termed "glycophagy".
