Polydisperse molecular architecture of connexin 26/30 heteromeric hemichannels revealed by AFM imaging

ABSTRACT: Gap junctions are arrays of intercellular channels formed by two hemichannels docked end-to-end. Each hemichannel is a hexamer containing the same or different connexin (Cx) isoform. While homomeric Cxs forms have been largely described functionally and structurally, lesser is known about heteromeric Cx channels. To unveil properties of heteromeric Cx channels is challenging considering the high number of potential subunit arrangements and stoichiometries, even for only combining two Cx isoforms. We engineered an HA tag onto Cx26 or Cx30 subunits and imaged hemichannels that were liganded by Fab-epitope antibody fragments. For Cx26-HA/Cx30 or Cx26/Cx30-HA heteromeric channels, the Fab-HA binding distribution followed a binomial distribution with a maximum of 3 Fab-HA bound. Furthermore, imaged Cx26/Cx30-HA triple liganded by Fab-HA showed multiple arrangements which can be derived from the law of total probabilities. Our results indicate a dominant subunit stoichiometry of 3Cx26:3Cx30 with the most abundant subunit arrangement of Cx26-Cx26-Cx30-Cx26-Cx30-Cx30.

Structure of a volume-regulated heteromeric LRRC8A/C channel

Project description:Volume-regulated anion channels participate in the cellular response to osmotic swelling. These membrane proteins are heteromers of LRRC8 family members whose composition determines permeation properties. Although structures of the obligatory LRRC8A subunit have previously defined the architecture of VRACs, the organization of heteromeric channels has remained elusive. Here we have closed this gap by the structural characterization of channels consisting of LRRC8A and C. Like homomeric LRRC8A, these proteins assemble as hexamers. Despite the twelve possible arrangements, we find a single predominant species with an A/C ratio of two. In this assembly, the four LRRCA subunits cluster in their preferred conformation observed in homomers as pairs of closely interacting proteins that stabilize a closed state of the channel. In contrast, the two interacting LRRC8C-subunits show a larger flexibility, underlining their role in the destabilization of the tightly packed A subunits, thereby enhancing the activation properties of the protein.

ChIP-chip of RNAP in E. coli strains exposed to 0.5M NaCl

Project description:We have analysed the genome-wide distribution of RNA polymerase in mechanosenstive deletion strains of E.coli upon hyperosmotic stress. We have used ChIP-chip of the ß subunit of RNA polymerase and we have assessed changes in RNA polymerase distribution in Frag1 MJF612 and MJF641 strains that are deleted for incresing numbers of mechanosensitive channels in response to hyperosmotic stress .

Unmasking of Protein Phosphatase 2 Regulatory Subunit B as a crucial factor in the development and progression of dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:The PPP2R5D encodes for a Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases negatively controlling cell growth and division. PP2A is consisting of a common heteromeric core enzyme with a catalytic subunit and a B regulatory subunit that might control the substrate selectivity and catalytic activity. We investigated the potential role of Ppp2r5d for the cardiomyocyte (cultured mouse cardiomyocytes).

Rfx6 target genes in the Min6b1 cell line, a pancreatic beta cell model

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that loss of beta cell characteristics may cause insulin secretory deficiency in diabetes but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that Rfx6, whose mutation leads to neonatal diabetes in man, is essential to maintain key features of functionally mature beta cells in mice. Rfx6 loss in adult beta cells leads to glucose intolerance, impaired beta cell glucose sensing and to defective insulin secretion. This is associated with reduced expression of core components of the insulin secretion pathway including GLucokinase, the Abcc8/SUR1 subunit of KATP channels and voltage-gated Ca2 channels, which are direct targets of Rfx6. Moreover, Rfx6 contributes to the silencing of the vast majority of M-bM-^@M-^\disallowedM-bM-^@M-^] genes, a group usually specifically repressed in adult beta cells, and thus to the maintenance of beta cell maturity. These findings raise the possibility that changes in Rfx6 expression or activity may contribute to beta cell failure in man. Two ChIP-Seq experiments have been performed : 1) anti-HA ChIP-Seq on 3HA-Rfx6 transfected Min6b1 cells and 2) anti-HA ChIP-Seq on Min6b1 cells

Primary Osteocyte Supernatants Metabolomic Profiling of Two Transgenic Mice with Connexin43 Dominant Negative Mutants

Project description:<p>Osteocytes could release some small molecules (≤ 1 kDa) through gap junctions and hemichannels to extracellular environment, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which play key roles in transferring signals between bone cells and other tissue cells. Connexin (Cx) 43 is the most abundant connexin in osteocytes. To further discover molecules released by osteocytes through Cx43 channels and better understand the regulatory function of Cx43 channels in osteocytes, we performed non-targeted global metabolomics analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on conditioned medium collected from osteocytes isolated from two transgenic mouse models with Cx43 dominant negative mutants driven by a 10 kb-DMP1 promoter: R76W (gap junctions are blocked, whereas hemichannels are promoted) and Δ130-136 (both gap junctions and hemichannels are blocked). The results revealed that several new categories of molecules, such as “fatty acyls” and “carboxylic acids and derivatives”, could be released through osteocytic Cx43 channels. In addition, alteration of Cx43 channel function affected the release of metabolites related to inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress. Pathway analysis further showed that citric acid cycle was the most differential metabolic pathway regulated by Cx43 channels. In sum, these results isolated new potential metabolites released by osteocytes through Cx43 channels, and offered a novel perspective to understand the regulatory mechanisms of osteocytes on themselves and other cells as well.</p>

Transcriptomic analysis of Etoposide-treated 293 cells expressing p65 wt or p65 S547A

Project description:We reported a direct phosphorylation of the Ser547 of the RelA/p65 subunit of NF-kB by ATM kinase. A comparative transcriptomic analyse with HEK293 cells expressing exclusively HA-p65wt or a non-phosphorylable mutant HA-p65S547A was conducted to identify the genes regulated by this phosphorylation after an Etoposide treatment. HEK293 cells expressing exclusively HA-p65wt or HA-p65S547A were treated during four or eight hours with Etoposide or left untreated. This was performed three times to obtain independent triplicates for the microarray expermiment.
