N-terminal processing of beta and gamma actin in MEF cells

ABSTRACT: Actin is one of the most essential and abundant intracellular proteins, playing an essential physiological role as the major constituent of the actin cytoskeleton. Two cytoplasmic actins, beta- and gamma-actin, are encoded by different genes, but their amino acid sequences differ only by four conservative substitutions at the N-terminus, making it very difficult to dissect their individual regulation in vivo. The majority of actins are N-terminally acetylated, following the removal of N-terminal Met. Here, we analyzed beta and gamma cytoplasmic actin N-termini in different actin preparations.

Cytoplasmic beta- and gamma-actin are ubiquitously expressed in every eukaryotic cell. They are encoded by different genes, but their amino acid sequences differ only by four conservative substitutions at the N-termini, making it difficult to dissect their individual regulation. Here, we analyzed actin from cultured cells and tissues by mass spectrometry and found that beta, unlike gamma actin, undergoes sequential removal of N-terminal Asp residues, leading to truncated actin species found in b ...[more]

Purification of Human β and γ Actin from Budding Yeast

Project description:To facilitate biochemical studies of human cytoplasmic actins, Saccharomyces cerevisiaestrains were developed that express either human β-actin or γ-actin as their sole actin. Actins purified from these strains have biochemical properties similar to mammalian skeletal muscle α-actin, but display differential binding to some key actin regulators. Mass-spectrometry analysis shows that the human actins made from yeast generally retain their N-terminal methionines, which are modified by acetylation.

Different roles of gamma- and beta-actin in neuronal functions

Project description:Lack of cytoplasmic beta-actin gene (Actb) leads to early embryonic lethality in mice, however targeted editing of Actb coding sequence by introducing five point mutations to encode cytoplasmic gamma-actin protein does not affect mouse viability. These mice with beta to gamma actin replacement (Actbc-g mice) develop normally and show no detectable phenotypes at young age, despite complete lack of beta-actin protein. Here we investigated the effect of the replacement of beta-actin with gamma-actin in the brain and the retina --- the tissue where these two cytoplasmic actin isoforms predominate.

Actb knockout in primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts LC-MS/MS

Project description:The cytoplasmic actin proteins, beta- and gamma-actin, are 99% identical but perform non-redundant functions. Genes encoding the cytoplasmic actins, Actb and Actg1, respectively, are less similar but still share 89% of their nucleotide sequences. Knockout (KO) of Actb by deletion of first coding exons 2 and 3 in mice is embryonic lethal while KO embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) fail to proliferate. In contrast, KO of Actg1 is viable but mice lacking Actg1 present with increased perinatal lethality and Actg1 KO MEFs present with a much milder defect in cell proliferation. Recent studies have identified important protein-independent functions for both Actb and Actg1 and demonstrate that deletions within the Actb nucleotide sequence, and not loss of the beta-actin protein, cause the most severe phenotypes in KO mice and cells. Here, we use a multi-omics approach to better understand what drives the phenotypes of Actb KO MEFs. RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry of Actb KO MEFs reveal largescale changes to the transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome. Pathway analysis of genes and proteins differentially expressed upon Actb KO shows widespread dysregulation of genes involved in the cell cycle. Together, these data suggest novel, protein-independent roles for Actb in regulating gene expression associated with control of cell proliferation.

Quality control at the cell surface prevents accumulation of damaged L-type CaV1.2 calcium channels

Project description:Defective ion channel turnover and clearance of damaged proteins are associated with aging and neurodegeneration. The L-type CaV1.2 voltage-gated calcium channel mediate depolarization-induced calcium signals in heart and brain. Here, we determined the interaction surface between the L-type calcium channel CaVβ subunit and actin using cross-linking mass spectrometry and protein-protein docking, and uncovered a role in replenishing damaged CaV1.2 channels. Computational and in vitro mutagenesis identified hotspots in CaVβ that decrease its affinity for actin but not for CaV1.2. Coexpression of an actin-association-deficient CaVβ mutant with the CaV1.2 channel downregulated current amplitudes with a concomitant reduction in the number of functionally available channels. Neither alterations in the single-channel properties nor changes in the total number of channels at the cell surface were found, indicating that current inhibition resulted from a build-up of conduction-defective channels. Our findings established CaVβ–actin interaction as a key player for selective monitoring and clearing corrupted CaV proteins to ensure the maintenance of a functional pool of channels and proper calcium signal transduction. The CaVβ–actin molecular model introduces a potentially druggable protein-protein interface to intervene CaV-mediated signaling processes.
