Haemopexin receptors from mouse hepatoma (Hepa) cells were affinity-labelled by cross-linking to haem-125I-haemopexin complexes using two homo-[disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) and 3,3′-dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (DTSSP)] and one hetero-[sulphosuccinimidyl 4-(p-maleimidophenyl)butyrate (sulpho-SMPB)] bifunctional cross-linking agents. Analysis of the cross-linked products by SDS/PAGE in the absence of reducing agents revealed that 125I-haemopexin was cross-linked specifically to a protein of apparent molecular mass 85-90 kDa. Upon reduction, haemopexin remained cross-linked to a protein of 20 kDa, suggesting that the murine haemopexin receptor has a subunit structure. Two subunits were identified: alpha (p65) and beta (p20). Furthermore, because haemopexin was cross-linked by all three agents to p20, the shortest cross-linker arm being 1.1 nm (11 A), we propose that the haem-haemopexin-binding site resides on this subunit. In addition, a cysteine residue of p20 is located near the haemopexin-binding site, since haemopexin, which has no free thiol groups, is cross-linked to this subunit by the hetero-bifunctional agent sulpho-SMPB. Exposure of Hepa cells to the tumour-promoting phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) causes a rapid redistribution of haemopexin receptors from the cell surface to the cell interior. Within 2-4 min of incubation with 100 nM-PMA, there was an approx. 50% decrease in cell-surface haemopexin receptors, as judged by ligand binding at 0 degrees C and affinity labelling of the receptor. This time- and dose-dependent down-regulation was fully reversible within 60-90 min after removal of PMA, and the affinity of the remaining receptors was unaltered by PMA. The specificity of PMA was demonstrated by comparison with the non-tumour-promoter 4 alpha-phorbol, which did not affect any of the parameters examined. The amine H-7, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C, antagonised the receptor redistribution effect of PMA, suggesting that the down-regulation of haemopexin receptors on the cell surface was a consequence of protein kinase C activation. The PMA-induced decrease in surface haemopexin receptors was due to a 2-fold increase in the rate of internalization (from 0.73 min-1 to 1.32 min-1), whereas the rate of exocytosis (0.6 min-1) was unchanged. PMA treatment, like binding of the natural ligand, haem-haemopexin, results in a lower steady-state level of surface haemopexin receptors independent of receptor synthesis, and the receptors were not degraded but were recycled back to the cell surface.

Preincubation with receptor agonists or phorbol esters desensitized muscarinic-receptor-mediated [3H]cyclic GMP responses in mouse neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells. However, desensitization mediated by phorbol esters was heterologous, whereas that effected by receptor agonist was specific towards the muscarinic receptors. In addition, there was no loss of cell surface muscarinic receptors, as measured by the binding of the hydrophilic ligand [3H]N-methylscopolamine, when cells were treated with phorbol esters, but receptor-agonist-induced desensitization was accompanied by a decrease in cell surface receptor density. We examined the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the desensitization of muscarinic receptors by employing a kinase inhibitor and by down-regulation of PKC by long-term incubation of cells with phorbol esters. Whereas these manoeuvres had marked effects on phorbol-ester-induced desensitization of muscarinic responses, they did not block agonist-induced down-regulation and desensitization of muscarinic receptors. In addition, when phosphoinositide hydrolysis was suppressed, the muscarinic agonist was still capable of mediating receptor sequestration and desensitization. These results suggest that the mechanisms for regulating muscarinic receptor sensitivity could be both PKC-dependent and PKC-independent, being mediated by phorbol esters and receptor agonists respectively.

Recycling Pathway

In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) fibroblast cells the protein kinase C activating phorbol ester, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), stimulates an increase in cell surface transferrin receptor (TR) expression by increasing the exocytic rate of the recycling pathway. The human TR expressed in CHO cells is similarly affected by PMA treatment. A mutant human TR in which the major protein kinase C phosphorylation site, serine 24, has been replaced with the non-phosphorylatable amino acid glycine has been constructed to investigate the role of receptor phosphorylation in the PMA induced up-regulation. The Gly-24-substituted receptor binds, internalizes, and recycles Tf. Furthermore, the altered receptor mediates cellular Fe accumulation from diferric-Tf, thereby fulfilling the receptor's major biological role. The Gly-24 TR behaves identically to the wild-type TR when cells are treated with PMA. Therefore, Ser-24 phosphorylation is not required for the PMA-induced redistribution of the human TR expressed in CHO cells. The increased TR expression on the cell surface after PMA treatment results from an increase in the rate of exocytosis of the recycling receptors. No change in the endocytic rate or the size of the recycling receptor pool was observed. These results indicate that the PMA effect on the TR surface expression may result from a more general perturbation of membrane trafficking rather than a specific modulation of the TR.

Human organic anion transporter 1 (hOAT1) expressed at the membrane of the kidney proximal tubule cells mediates the body disposition of a diverse array of clinically important drugs, including anti-HIV therapeutics, antitumor drugs, antibiotics, antihypertensives, and antiinflammatories. Therefore, understanding the regulation of hOAT1 will provide significant insights into kidney function and dysfunction. We previously established that hOAT1 transport activity is inhibited by activation of protein kinase C (PKC) through accelerating hOAT1 internalization from cell surface into intracellular endosomes and subsequent degradation. We further established that PKC-induced hOAT1 ubiquitination is an important step preceding hOAT1 internalization. In the current study, we identified two closely related E3 ubiquitin ligases, neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally downregulated 4-1 and 4-2 (Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2), as important regulators for hOAT1: overexpression of Nedd4-1 or Nedd4-2 enhanced hOAT1 ubiquitination, reduced the hOAT1 amount at the cell surface, and suppressed hOAT1 transport activity. In further exploring the relationship among PKC, Nedd4-1, and Nedd4-2, we discovered that PKC-dependent changes in hOAT1 ubiquitination, expression, and transport activity were significantly blocked in cells transfected with the ligase-dead mutant of Nedd4-2 (Nedd4-2/C821A) or with Nedd4-2-specific siRNA to knockdown endogenous Nedd4-2 but not in cells transfected with the ligase-dead mutant of Nedd4-1 (Nedd4-1/C867S) or with Nedd4-1-specific siRNA to knockdown endogenous Nedd4-1. In conclusion, this is the first demonstration that both Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 are important regulators for hOAT1 ubiquitination, expression, and function. Yet they play distinct roles, as Nedd4-2 but not Nedd4-1 is a critical mediator for PKC-regulated hOAT1 ubiquitination, expression, and transport activity.

Mature Virus

The simpler of the two infectious forms of vaccinia virus, the intracellular mature virus (IMV) is known to infect cells less efficiently than the extracellular enveloped virus (EEV), which is surrounded by an additional, TGN-derived membrane. We show here that when the IMV binds HeLa cells, it activates a signaling cascade that is regulated by the GTPase rac1 and rhoA, ezrin, and both tyrosine and protein kinase C phosphorylation. These cascades are linked to the formation of actin and ezrin containing protrusions at the plasma membrane that seem to be essential for the entry of IMV cores. The identical cores of the EEV also appear to enter at the cell surface, but surprisingly, without the need for signaling and actin/membrane rearrangements. Thus, in addition to its known role in wrapping the IMV and the formation of intracellular actin comets, the membrane of the EEV seems to have evolved the capacity to enter cells silently, without a need for signaling.
