Targeted validation of interaction between ErbB4 JM-a isoform and β1 integrin

ABSTRACT: The ErbB4 receptor isoforms JM-a and JM-b differ within their extracellular juxtamembrane (eJM) domains. Here we used ErbB4 isoforms as a model to address whether structural variation in the eJM domain of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) affects downstream signaling. Analysis of ErbB4 interactome and super-resolution cell imaging indicated association of the JM-a- and JM-b-like receptors with specific signaling complexes at different cell surface compartments. A JM-a-specific sequence motif was discovered, and its presence in the eJM domains of several other human RTKs predicted selective STAT activation indicating a conserved RTK signaling mechanism. The RTKs with the JM-a-like eJM motif activated STAT5a, and those that were JM-b-like (lacking the JM-a-like motif) activated STAT5b and STAT3. TYK2 was found to be necessary for JM-b-stimulated STAT5b activation. The activation of STAT5a by the JM-a-like receptors, in turn, involved specific interaction with oligosaccharides N-linked to cell surface glycoproteins such as β1 integrin. These findings provide evidence for a mechanism linking a ubiquitous extracellular motif in RTKs with selective intracellular STAT signaling.

Project description:Muller2008 - Simplified MAPK activation Dynamics (Model B) Simplified mathematical model (model B) for predicting MAPK signal expression. This model is described in the article: Network topology determines dynamics of the mammalian MAPK1,2 signaling network: bifan motif regulation of C-Raf and B-Raf isoforms by FGFR and MC1R. Muller M, Obeyesekere M, Mills GB, Ram PT. FASEB J. 2008 May; 22(5): 1393-1403 Abstract: Activation of the fibroblast growth factor (FGFR) and melanocyte stimulating hormone (MC1R) receptors stimulates B-Raf and C-Raf isoforms that regulate the dynamics of MAPK1,2 signaling. Network topology motifs in mammalian cells include feed-forward and feedback loops and bifans where signals from two upstream molecules integrate to modulate the activity of two downstream molecules. We computationally modeled and experimentally tested signal processing in the FGFR/MC1R/B-Raf/C-Raf/MAPK1,2 network in human melanoma cells; identifying 7 regulatory loops and a bifan motif. Signaling from FGFR leads to sustained activation of MAPK1,2, whereas signaling from MC1R results in transient activation of MAPK1,2. The dynamics of MAPK activation depends critically on the expression level and connectivity to C-Raf, which is critical for a sustained MAPK1,2 response. A partially incoherent bifan motif with a feedback loop acts as a logic gate to integrate signals and regulate duration of activation of the MAPK signaling cascade. Further reducing a 106-node ordinary differential equations network encompassing the complete network to a 6-node network encompassing rate-limiting processes sustains the feedback loops and the bifan, providing sufficient information to predict biological responses.

Project description:Lymphocyte activation and effector state differentiation critically depend on integration of multiple signals, including those from antigen, co-stimulatory ligand and cytokine receptors. Thus, discovery of molecular components and mechanisms underlying signal integration is vital for the understanding and control of adaptive immune responses. Stimulation of antigen receptors in lymphocytes leads to the activation of NFAT family transcription factors (TFs) as well as the inducible expression of the immune-selective IRFs, IRF4 and IRF8; the latter are differentially controlled by co-stimulatory ligand and cytokine receptor signaling. Despite their major overlapping functions in lymphocyte activation and differentiation, it has remained enigmatic if NFATs can perform signal integration with IRF4 and IRF8, via their cooperative assembly on composite genomic regulatory elements. Composite elements (CEs) provide a powerful means of signal integration by inducible TFs and despite their clear importance, CEs arguably remain the least explored elements within cis-regulomes. To test the above hypothesis, we deployed a generalizable computational strategy, which revealed a stereospecific NFAT-IRF composite element (NICE) motif that was enriched within active chromatin regions (H3K27Ac) of activated B and T lymphocytes. NICE containing DNA sequences promoted cooperative binding of NFATs with IRF4 or IRF8. Genomic analyses in activated B cells revealed co-dependent genes that undergo activation or repression and contain NICE motifs in their regulatory regions. Notably, NFATc2 and IRF8 form a positive feedforward loop and coordinately repress the Prdm1 gene by binding a NICE motif in a phylogenetically conserved region, thereby inhibiting extrafollicular plasma cell differentiation and promoting the germinal center fate of activated B cells. The NICE motif is also enriched in DNA sequences located in accessible chromatin of human lymphocytes, suggesting evolutionary conservation of its function. The cooperative assembly of NFAT family members with IRF4 and IRF8 on NICE motifs reveals a new genomic control mechanism that enables signal integration during lymphocyte activation and differentiation.
