Inactive Protein

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in human serum consists predominantly of tetramers. Recombinant BChE, however, expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, consists of approx. 55% dimers, 10-30% tetramers and 15-40% monomers. To determine the origin of the monomer species we added the FLAG epitope (epitope tag, amino acid sequence DYKDDDDK) to the C-terminus of the enzyme, and expressed BChE-FLAG in CHO cells. We found that secreted, active monomers had lost their FLAG epitope, suggesting that the monomers were made by proteolysis of dimers or tetramers at the C-terminus. To estimate the number of amino acids that could be deleted from the C-terminus without losing BChE activity, we expressed deletion mutants. We found that deletion of up to 50 amino acids from the C-terminus yielded active monomers, but that deletion of 51 amino acids destroyed BChE activity and caused the inactive protein to remain within the cell. Deletion of eight or more amino acids from the N-terminus also resulted in inactive protein that remained inside the cell. Monomeric BChE had wild-type Km and kcat values (8 μM and 24000 min-1 for butyrylthiocholine) and showed substrate activation. The Cys-571→Ala mutant, though incapable of forming the interchain disulphide bond, had nearly the same amount of tetrameric BChE as recombinant wild-type BChE. These results support the conclusion that the tetramerization domain of BChE is at the C-terminus, within the terminal 50 amino acids, and that the interchain disulphide bond is not essential for tetramerization. Molecular modelling suggested that the tetramerization domain was a four-helix bundle, stabilized by interactions of seven conserved aromatic amino acids.

C-terminally truncated and mutated forms of GLUT1 have been constructed to determine the minimum structure at the C-terminus required for glucose transport activity and ligand binding at the outer and inner binding sites. Four truncated mutants have been constructed (CTD24 to CTD27) in which 24 to 27 amino acids are deleted. In addition, point substitutions of R468-->L, F467-->L and G466-->E have been produced. Chinese hamster ovary clones which were transfected with these mutant GLUT1s were shown, by Western blotting and cell-surface carbohydrate labelling, to have expression levels which were comparable with the wild-type clone. Wild-type levels of 2-deoxy-D-glucose transport activity were retained only in the clone transfected with the construct in which 24 amino acids were deleted (CTD24). The CTD25, CTD26 and CTD27 clones showed markedly reduced transport activity. From a kinetic comparison of the CTD24 and CTD26 clones it was found that the reduced transport was mainly associated with a reduced Vmax. value for 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake but with a slight lowering of the Km. These data establish that the 24 amino acids at the C-terminus of GLUT1 are not required for the transport catalysis. However, the point mutations of F467L and G466E (26 and 27 residues from the C-terminus) did not significantly perturb the kinetics of 2-deoxy-D-glucose transport. The substitution of R468L produced a slight, but significant, lowering of the Km. The ability of the truncated GLUt1s to bind the exofacial ligand, 2-N-4-(1-zai-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)benzoyl-1,3-bis-(D-mannos- 4-yl-oxy) -2-propylamine (ATB-BMPA), and the endofacial ligand, cytochalasin B, were assessed by photolabelling procedures. The ability to bind ATB-BMPA was retained only in the CTD24 truncated mutant and was reduced to levels comparable with those of the non-transfected clone in the other mutant clones. Cytochalasin B labelling was unimpaired in all four mutated GLUT1s. These data establish that a minimum structure at the C-terminus of GLUT1, which is required for the conformational change to expose the exofacial site, includes amino acids at positions Phe-467 and Arg-468; however, these amino acids are not individually essential.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the integrin alpha 2 subunit formed a stable VLA-2 heterodimer that mediated cell adhesion to collagen. Within CHO cells spread on collagen, but not fibronectin, wild-type alpha 2 subunit localized into focal adhesion complexes (FACs). In contrast, alpha 2 with a deleted cytoplasmic domain was recruited into FACs whether CHO cells were spread on collagen or fibronectin. Thus, as previously seen for other integrins, the alpha 2 cytoplasmic domain acts as a negative regulator, preventing indiscriminate integrin recruitment into FACs. Notably, ligand-independent localization of the VLA-2 alpha 2 subunit into FACs was partially prevented if only one or two amino acids were present in the alpha 2 cytoplasmic domain (beyond the conserved GFFKR motif) and was completely prevented by four to seven amino acids. The addition of two alanine residues (added to GFFKR) also partially prevented ligand-independent localization. In a striking inverse correlation, the same mutants showing increased ligand-independent recruitment into FACs exhibited diminished alpha 2-dependent adhesion to collagen. Thus, control of VLA-2 localization may be closely related to the suppression of cell adhesion to collagen. In contrast to FAC localization and collagen adhesion results, VLA-2-dependent binding and infection by echovirus were unaffected by either alpha 2 cytoplasmic domain deletion or exchange with other cytoplasmic domains.

Wild-type p53 forms tetramers and multiples of tetramers. Friedman et al. (P. N. Friedman, X. B. Chen, J. Bargonetti, and C. Prives, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:3319-3323, 1993) have reported that human p53 behaves as a larger molecule during gel filtration than it does during sucrose gradient sedimentation. These differences argue that wild-type p53 has a nonglobular shape. To identify structural and oligomerization domains in p53, we have investigated the physical properties of purified segments of p53. The central, specific DNA-binding domain within murine amino acids 80 to 320 and human amino acids 83 to 323 behaves predominantly as monomers during analysis by sedimentation, gel filtration, and gel electrophoresis. This consistent behavior argues that the central region of p53 is globular in shape. Under appropriate conditions, however, this segment can form transient oligomers without apparent preference for a single oligomeric structure. This region does not enhance transformation by other oncogenes. The biological implications of transient oligomerization by this central segment, therefore, remain to be demonstrated. Like wild-type p53, the C terminus, consisting of murine amino acids 280 to 390 and human amino acids 283 to 393, behaves anomalously during gel filtration and apparently has a nonglobular shape. Within this region, murine amino acids 315 to 350 and human amino acids 323 to 355 are sufficient for assembly of stable tetramers. The finding that murine amino acids 315 to 360 enhance transformation by other oncogenes strongly supports the role of p53 tetramerization in oncogenesis. Amino acids 330 to 390 of murine p53 and amino acids 340 to 393 of human p53, which have been implicated by Sturzbecher et al. in tetramerization (H.-W. Sturzbecher, R. Brain, C. Addison, K. Rudge, M. Remm, M. Grimaldi, E. Keenan, and J. R. Jenkins, Oncogene 7:1513-1523, 1992), do not form stable tetramers under our conditions. Our findings indicate that p53 has at least two autonomous oligomerization domains: a strong tetramerization domain in its C-terminal region and a weaker oligomerization domain in the central DNA binding region of p53. Together, these domains account for the formation of tetramers and multiples of tetramers by wild-type p53. The tetramerization domain is the major determinant of the dominant negative phenotype leading to transformation by mutant p53s.

Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD) is an important component of antioxidant defense in aerobic cells because of its location in the mitochondria, a significant source of oxygen radicals and an important target of oxidant injury. To test the hypothesis that increased mitochondrial Mn SOD protects from oxidant injury, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transfected with a eukaryotic expression vector containing the human Mn SOD cDNA. In recombinant CHO cells, Mn SOD activity was increased threefold over wild-type controls. Acute survival during paraquat exposure (0–500 microM) was significantly improved in CHO cells expressing human Mn SOD, with 71% of recombinant CHO cells surviving at the 50% lethal dose (LD50) for wild-type CHO controls. Cell growth following exposure to paraquat (100 microM) was also significantly improved in recombinant CHO cells. CHO cells expressing human Mn SOD continued to grow and divide after paraquat exposure, whereas growth of wild-type CHO cells was negligible. Protection against oxidant-induced injury was directly related to increased Mn SOD, occurring in the absence of changes in other antioxidant enzymes including catalase, Cu,Zn SOD, and glutathione associated cellular antioxidant mechanisms. We conclude that increased expression of human Mn SOD in vitro directly confers protection against oxidant injury.

Microtubule Inhibitors

A major cellular protein (P2; approximately 70 kilodaltons) which is altered in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants resistant to the microtubule inhibitors colchicine and podophyllotoxin has been shown to correspond to the constitutive form of the 70-kilodalton heat shock protein (hsc70). The inference that P2 and hsc70 are the same protein is based on the following observations: (i) migration of P2 in two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels in the same position as that reported for hsc70; (ii) cross-reactivity of a monoclonal antibody which reacts with both the constitutive and induced forms of hsp70 with the P2 spot from wild-type CHO cells and with both P2 and a mutant form of P2 in a CHO cell mutant; (iii) specific reactivity of a polyclonal antibody to P2 with both the constitutive and heat-induced forms of hsp70 in human cells; (iv) identical immunofluorescent staining of dot/patchlike structures with both P2 and hsp70 antibodies in human and CHO cells; and (v) a cDNA clone for hsc70 has been isolated and sequenced from wild-type CHO cells. The in vitro transcription and translation product of this cDNA has been shown to comigrate with the P2 protein spot in two-dimensional gels, indicating their identity. The fact that there is an alteration in hsc70 in mutants resistant to antimitotic drugs suggests a role for this protein in the in vivo assembly and function of microtubules.

Endocytic Compartments

Acidification of endocytic compartments is necessary for the proper sorting and processing of many ligands and their receptors. Robbins and co-workers have obtained Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants that are pleiotropically defective in endocytosis and deficient in ATP-dependent acidification of endosomes isolated by density centrifugation (Robbins, A. R., S. S. Peng, and J. L. Marshall. 1983. J. Cell Biol. 96:1064-1071; Robbins, A. R., C. Oliver, J. L. Bateman, S. S. Krag, C. J. Galloway, and I. Mellman. 1984. J. Cell Biol. 99:1296-1308). In this and the following paper (Yamashiro, D. J., and F. R. Maxfield. 1987. J. Cell Biol. 105:2723-2733) we describe detailed studies of endosome acidification in the mutant and wild-type CHO cells. Here we describe a new microspectrofluorometry method based on changes in fluorescein fluorescence when all cellular compartments are equilibrated to the same pH value. Using this method we measured the pH of endocytic compartments during the first minutes of endocytosis. We found in wild-type CHO cells that after 3 min, fluorescein-labeled dextran (F-Dex) was in endosomes having an average pH of 6.3. By 10 min, both F-Dex and fluorescein-labeled alpha 2-macroglobulin (F-alpha 2M) had reached acidic endosomes having an average pH of 6.0 or below. In contrast, endosome acidification in the CHO mutants DTG 1-5-4 and DTF 1-5-1 was markedly slowed. The average endosomal pH after 5 min was 6.7 in both mutant cell lines. At least 15 min was required for F-Dex and F-alpha 2M to reach an average pH of 6.0 in DTG 1-5-4. Acidification of early endocytic compartments is defective in the CHO mutants DTG 1-5-4 and DTF 1-5-1, but pH regulation of later compartments on both the recycling pathway and lysosomal pathway is nearly normal. The properties of the mutant cells suggest that proper functioning of pH regulatory mechanisms in early endocytic compartments is critical for many pH-mediated processes of endocytosis.

Interaction of the β2-integrin complex on the polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) has been implicated in PMN-mediated cytotoxicity. This study examined interaction of the CD11a, CD11b, and CD18 subunits of the β2-integrin with ICAM-1, transfected into Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO) cells to avoid effects of other adhesion molecules. Incubation of quiescent PMNs with wild-type and ICAM-1-transfected CHO cells produced nominal cell lysis. Similarly, when phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-activated PMNs were incubated with wild-type CHO cells, minimal cytotoxicity was produced. However, when ICAM-1-transfected CHO cells were incubated with PMA-activated PMNs, 40% cell lysis occurred. Blockade with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to ICAM-1 or MAbs to CD11a, CD11b, or CD18 reduced PMN-mediated cytotoxicity to baseline. To examine the role of adhesion in cytotoxicity, we studied β2-integrin-mediated PMN adhesion to ICAM-1-transfected CHO cells and found that MAbs for CD11a, CD11b, and CD18 all abrogated PMN cytotoxicity despite disparate effects on adhesion. To assess the role of CD18, β2-integrin subunits were cross-linked, and CD18 alone mediated protease release. Moreover, ICAM-1 was immunoprecipitated from transfected CHO cells and incubated with PMNs. This soluble ICAM-1 provoked elastase release, similar to PMA, which could be inhibited by MAbs to CD18 but not MAbs to other β2-integrin subunits. In addition, coincubation with protease inhibitors eglin C and AAPVCK reduced PMN-mediated cytotoxicity to control levels. Finally, ICAM-1-transfected CHO cells were exposed to activated PMNs from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease that caused significant cell lysis, equivalent to that of PMNs from normal donors. Collectively, these data suggest that ICAM-1 provokes PMN-mediated cytotoxicity via CD18-mediated protease release.

Assembly Factor

A cDNA encoding 35-kDa peroxisome assembly factor 1 (PAF-1), a peroxisomal integral membrane protein, was cloned from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and sequenced. The CHO PAF-1 comprised 304 amino acids, one residue shorter than rat or human PAF-1, and showed high homology to rat and human PAF-1: 90 and 86% at the nucleotide sequence level and 92 and 90% in amino acid sequence, respectively. PAF-1 from these three species contains a conserved cysteine-rich sequence at the C-terminal region which is exactly the same as that of a novel cysteine-rich RING finger motif family. PAF-1 cDNA from a peroxisome-deficient CHO cell mutant, Z65 (T. Tsukamoto, S. Yokota, and Y. Fujiki, J. Cell Biol. 110:651-660, 1990), contained a nonsense mutation at the codon for Trp-114, resulting in premature termination. Truncation in PAF-1 of either 19 amino acids from the N terminus or 92 residues from the C terminus maintained the peroxisome assembly-restoring activity when tested in both the Z65 mutant and the fibroblasts from a Zellweger patient. In contrast, deletion of 27 or 102 residues from the N or C terminus eliminated the activity. PAF-1 is encoded by free polysomal RNA, consistent with a general rule for biogenesis of peroxisomal proteins, including membrane polypeptides, implying the posttranslational transport and integration of PAF-1 into peroxisomal membrane.

The orexin-1 receptor interacts with β-arrestin-2 in an agonist-dependent manner. In HEK-293T cells, these two proteins became co-internalized into acidic endosomes. Truncations from the C-terminal tail did not prevent agonist-induced internalization of the orexin-1 receptor or alter the pathway of internalization, although such mutants failed to interact with β-arrestin-2 in a sustained manner or produce its co-internalization. Mutation of a cluster of three threonine and one serine residue at the extreme C-terminus of the receptor greatly reduced interaction and abolished co-internalization of β-arrestin-2–GFP (green fluorescent protein). Despite the weak interactions of this C-terminally mutated form of the receptor with β-arrestin-2, studies in wild-type and β-arrestin-deficient mouse embryo fibroblasts confirmed that agonist-induced internalization of this mutant required expression of a β-arrestin. Although without effect on agonist-mediated elevation of intracellular Ca2+ levels, the C-terminally mutated form of the orexin-1 receptor was unable to sustain phosphorylation of the MAPKs (mitogen-activated protein kinases) ERK1 and ERK2 (extracellular-signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2) to the same extent as the wild-type receptor. These studies indicate that a single cluster of hydroxy amino acids within the C-terminal seven amino acids of the orexin-1 receptor determine the sustainability of interaction with β-arrestin-2, and indicate an important role of β-arrestin scaffolding in defining the kinetics of orexin-1 receptor-mediated ERK MAPK activation.
