Sorting signals for PIN1 trafficking and localization.

ABSTRACT: PIN-FORMED (PIN) family proteins direct polar auxin transport based on their asymmetric (polar) localization at the plasma membrane. In the case of PIN1, it mainly localizes to the basal (rootward) plasma membrane domain of stele cells in root meristems. Vesicular trafficking events, such as clathrin-dependent PIN1 endocytosis and polar recycling, are probably the main determinants for PIN1 polar localization. However, very little is known about the signals which may be involved in binding the μ-adaptin subunit of clathrin adaptor complexes (APs) for sorting of PIN1 within clathrin-coated vesicles, which can determine its trafficking and localization. We have performed a systematic mutagenesis analysis to investigate putative sorting motifs in the hydrophilic loop of PIN1. We have found that a non-canonical motif, based in a phenylalanine residue, through the binding of μA(μ2)- and μD(μ3)-adaptin, is important for PIN1 endocytosis and for PIN1 traffcking along the secretory pathway, respectively. In addition, tyrosine-based motifs, which also bind different μ-adaptins, could also contribute to PIN1 trafficking and localization.

Atg27 tyrosine sorting motif is important for its trafficking and Atg9 localization.

Project description:During autophagy, the transmembrane protein Atg27 facilitates transport of the major autophagy membrane protein Atg9 to the preautophagosomal structure (PAS). To better understand the function of Atg27 and its relationship with Atg9, Atg27 trafficking and localization were examined. Atg27 localized to endosomes and the vacuolar membrane, in addition to previously described PAS, Golgi and Atg9-positive structures. Atg27 vacuolar membrane localization was dependent on the adaptor AP-3, which mediates direct transport from the trans-Golgi to the vacuole. The four C-terminal amino acids (YSAV) of Atg27 comprise a tyrosine sorting motif. Mutation of the YSAV abrogated Atg27 transport to the vacuolar membrane and affected its distribution in TGN/endosomal compartments, while PAS localization was normal. Also, in atg27(ΔYSAV) or AP-3 mutants, accumulation of Atg9 in the vacuolar lumen was observed upon autophagy induction. Nevertheless, PAS localization of Atg9 was normal in atg27(ΔYSAV) cells. The vacuole lumen localization of Atg9 was dependent on transport through the multivesicular body, as Atg9 accumulated in the class E compartment and vacuole membrane in atg27(ΔYSAV) vps4Δ but not in ATG27 vps4Δ cells. We suggest that Atg27 has an additional role to retain Atg9 in endosomal reservoirs that can be mobilized during autophagy.

Intracellular sorting signals for sequential trafficking of human cytomegalovirus UL37 proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus UL37 antiapoptotic proteins, including the predominant UL37 exon 1 protein (pUL37x1), traffic sequentially from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through the mitochondrion-associated membrane compartment to the mitochondrial outer membrane (OMM), where they inactivate the proapoptotic activity of Bax. We found that widespread mitochondrial distribution occurs within 1 h of pUL37x1 synthesis. The pUL37x1 mitochondrial targeting signal (MTS) spans its first antiapoptotic domain (residues 5 to 34) and consists of a weak hydrophobicity leader (MTSalpha) and proximal downstream residues (MTSbeta). This MTS arrangement of a hydrophobic leader and downstream proximal basic residues is similar to that of the translocase of the OMM 20, Tom20. We examined whether the UL37 MTS functions analogously to Tom20 leader. Surprisingly, lowered hydropathy of the UL37x1 MTSalpha, predicted to block ER translocation, still allowed dual targeting of mutant to the ER and OMM. However, increased hydropathy of the MTS leader caused exclusion of the UL37x1 high-hydropathy mutant from mitochondrial import. Conversely, UL37 MTSalpha replacement with the Tom20 leader did not retarget pUL37x1 exclusively to the OMM; rather, the UL37x1-Tom20 chimera retained dual trafficking. Moreover, replacement of the UL37 MTSbeta basic residues did not reduce OMM import. Ablation of the MTSalpha posttranslational modification site or of the downstream MTS proline-rich domain (PRD) increased mitochondrial import. Our results suggest that pUL37x1 sequential ER to mitochondrial trafficking requires a weakly hydrophobic leader and is regulated by MTSbeta sequences. Thus, HCMV pUL37x1 uses a mitochondrial importation pathway that is genetically distinguishable from that of known OMM proteins.

Pin1At regulates PIN1 polar localization and root gravitropism.

Project description:Root gravitropism allows plants to establish root systems and its regulation depends on polar auxin transport mediated by PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin transporters. PINOID (PID) and PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE 2A (PP2A) act antagonistically on reversible phosphorylation of PINs. This regulates polar PIN distribution and auxin transport. Here we show that a peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1At regulates root gravitropism. Downregulation of Pin1At suppresses root agravitropic phenotypes of pp2aa and 35S:PID, while overexpression of Pin1At affects root gravitropic responses and enhances the pp2aa agravitropic phenotype. Pin1At also affects auxin transport and polar localization of PIN1 in stele cells, which is mediated by PID and PP2A. Furthermore, Pin1At catalyses the conformational change of the phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro motifs of PIN1. Thus, Pin1At mediates the conformational dynamics of PIN1 and affects PID- and PP2A-mediated regulation of PIN1 polar localization, which correlates with the regulation of root gravitropism.

Finding nuclear localization signals.

Project description:A variety of nuclear localization signals (NLSs) are experimentally known although only one motif was available for database searches through PROSITE. We initially collected a set of 91 experimentally verified NLSs from the literature. Through iterated 'in silico mutagenesis' we then extended the set to 214 potential NLSs. This final set matched in 43% of all known nuclear proteins and in no known non-nuclear protein. We estimated that >17% of all eukaryotic proteins may be imported into the nucleus. Finally, we found an overlap between the NLS and DNA-binding region for 90% of the proteins for which both the NLS and DNA-binding regions were known. Thus, evolution seemed to have used part of the existing DNA-binding mechanism when compartmentalizing DNA-binding proteins into the nucleus. However, only 56 of our 214 NLS motifs overlapped with DNA-binding regions. These 56 NLSs enabled a de novo prediction of partial DNA-binding regions for approximately 800 proteins in human, fly, worm and yeast.

Intracellular traffic of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein gE: characterization of the sorting signals required for its trans-Golgi network localization.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) are two pathogenic human alphaherpesviruses whose intracellular assembly is thought to follow different pathways. VZV presumably acquires its envelope in the trans-Golgi network (TGN), and it has recently been shown that its major envelope glycoprotein, VZV-gE, accumulates in this compartment when expressed alone. In contrast, the envelopment of HSV has been proposed to occur at the inner nuclear membrane, although to which compartment the gE homolog (HSV-gE) is transported is unknown. For this reason, we have studied the intracellular traffic of HSV-gE and have found that this glycoprotein accumulates at steady state in the TGN, both when expressed from cloned cDNA and in HSV-infected cells. In addition, HSV-gE cycles between the TGN and the cell surface and requires a conserved tyrosine-containing motif within its cytoplasmic tail for proper trafficking. These results show that VZV-gE and HSV-gE have similar intracellular trafficking pathways, probably reflecting the presence of similar sorting signals in the cytoplasmic domains of both molecules, and suggest that the respective viruses, VZV and HSV, could use the same subcellular organelle, the TGN, for their envelopment.

Polarized sorting and trafficking in epithelial cells.

Project description:The polarized distribution of proteins and lipids at the surface membrane of epithelial cells results in the formation of an apical and a basolateral domain, which are separated by tight junctions. The generation and maintenance of epithelial polarity require elaborate mechanisms that guarantee correct sorting and vectorial delivery of cargo molecules. This dynamic process involves the interaction of sorting signals with sorting machineries and the formation of transport carriers. Here we review the recent advances in the field of polarized sorting in epithelial cells. We especially highlight the role of lipid rafts in apical sorting.

Palmitoylation controls recycling in lysosomal sorting and trafficking.

Project description:For the efficient trafficking of lysosomal proteins, the cationic-dependent and -independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors and sortilin must bind cargo in the Golgi apparatus, be packaged into clathrin-coated trafficking vesicles and traffic to the endosomes. Once in the endosomes, the receptors release their cargo into the endosomal lumen and recycle back to the Golgi for another round of trafficking, a process that requires retromer. In this study, we demonstrate that palmitoylation is required for the efficient retrograde trafficking of sortilin, and the cationic-independent mannose 6-phosphate as palmitoylation-deficient receptors remain trapped in the endosomes. Importantly, we also show that palmitoylation is required for receptor interaction with retromer as nonpalmitoylated receptor did not interact with retromer. In addition, we have identified DHHC-15 as the palmitoyltransferase responsible for this modification. In summary, we have shown the functional significance of palmitoylation in lysosomal receptor sorting and trafficking.

PIN1 Provides Dynamic Control of MYC in Response to Extrinsic Signals.

Project description:PIN1 is a phosphorylation-directed member of the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) family that facilitates conformational changes in phosphorylated targets such as c-MYC (MYC). Following signaling events that mediate phosphorylation of MYC at Serine 62, PIN1 establishes structurally distinct pools of MYC through its trans-cis and cis-trans isomerization activity at Proline 63. Through these isomerization steps, PIN1 functionally regulates MYC's stability, the molecular timing of its DNA binding and transcriptional activity, and its subnuclear localization. Recently, our group showed that Serine 62 phosphorylated MYC can associate with the inner basket of the nuclear pore (NP) in a PIN1-dependent manner. The poised euchromatin at the NP basket enables rapid cellular response to environmental signals and cell stress, and PIN1-mediated trafficking of MYC calibrates this response. In this perspective, we describe the molecular aspects of PIN1 target recognition and PIN1's function in the context of its temporal and spatial regulation of MYC.

The Role of the Tyrosine-Based Sorting Signals of the ORF3a Protein of SARS-CoV-2 on Intracellular Trafficking, Autophagy, and Apoptosis.

Project description:The open reading frame 3a (ORF3a) is an accessory transmembrane protein that is important to the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2. The cytoplasmic domain of ORF3a has three canonical tyrosine-based sorting signals (YxxΦ; where x is any amino acid and Φ is a hydrophobic amino acid with a bulky -R group). They have been implicated in the trafficking of membrane proteins to the cell plasma membrane and to intracellular organelles. Previous studies have indicated that mutation of the 160YSNV163 motif abrogated plasma membrane expression and inhibited ORF3a-induced apoptosis. However, two additional canonical tyrosine-based sorting motifs (211YYQL213, 233YNKI236) exist in the cytoplasmic domain of ORF3a that have not been assessed. We removed all three potential tyrosine-based motifs and systematically restored them to assess the importance of each motif or combination of motifs that restored efficient trafficking to the cell surface and lysosomes. Our results indicate that the YxxΦ motif at position 160 was insufficient for the trafficking of ORF3a to the cell surface. Our studies also showed that ORF3a proteins with an intact YxxΦ at position 211 or at 160 and 211 were most important. We found that ORF3a cell surface expression correlated with the co-localization of ORF3a with LAMP-1 near the cell surface. These results suggest that YxxΦ motifs within the cytoplasmic domain may act cooperatively in ORF3a transport to the plasma membrane and endocytosis to lysosomes. Further, our results indicate that certain tyrosine mutants failed to activate caspase 3 and did not correlate with autophagy functions associated with this protein.

AtNSF regulates leaf serration by modulating intracellular trafficking of PIN1 in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:In eukaryotes, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) is a conserved AAA+ ATPase and a key component of the membrane trafficking machinery that promotes the fusion of secretory vesicles with target membranes. Here, we demonstrate that the Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains a single copy of NSF, AtNSF, which plays an essential role in the regulation of leaf serration. The AtNSF knock-down mutant, atnsf-1, exhibited more serrations in the leaf margin. Moreover, polar localization of the PIN-FORMED1 (PIN1) auxin efflux transporter was diffuse around the margins of atnsf-1 leaves and root growth was inhibited in the atnsf-1 mutant. More PIN1-GFP accumulated in the intracellular compartments of atnsf-1 plants, suggesting that AtNSF is required for intracellular trafficking of PIN between the endosome and plasma membrane. Furthermore, the serration phenotype was suppressed in the atnsf-1 pin1-8 double mutant, suggesting that AtNSF is required for PIN1-mediated polar auxin transport to regulate leaf serration. The CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON2 (CUC2) transcription factor gene is up-regulated in atnsf-1 plants and the cuc2-3 single mutant exhibits smooth leaf margins, demonstrating that AtNSF also functions in the CUC2 pathway. Our results reveal that AtNSF regulates the PIN1-generated auxin maxima with a CUC2-mediated feedback loop to control leaf serration. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
