Tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) is an ectoenzyme anchored to the plasma membrane via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). A TNSALP mutant with an Asn153→Asp (N153D) substitution was reported in a foetus diagnosed with perinatal hypophosphatasia (Mornet, Taillandier, Peyramaure, Kaper, Muller, Brenner, Bussiere, Freisinger, Godard, Merrer et al. (1998) Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 6, 308–314). When expressed ectopically in COS-1 cells, the wild-type TNSALP formed active non-covalently associated dimers, whereas TNSALP (N153D) formed aberrant disulphide-bonded high-molecular-mass aggregates devoid of enzyme activity. Cell-surface biotinylation and digestion with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C showed that TNSALP (N153D) failed to reach the cell surface. Instead, double immunofluorescence demonstrated that TNSALP (N153D) partially co-localized with a cis-Golgi marker (GM-130) at the steady-state. Upon treatment with brefeldin A, TNSALP (N153D) was still co-localized with GM-130, further supporting the finding that this mutant is localized in the cis-Golgi. Consistent with morphological results, pulse—chase experiments showed that newly synthesized TNSALP (N153D) remained endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-sensitive throughout the chase. Eventually, after a prolonged chase time, the mutant was found to be partly degraded in a proteasome-dependent manner. Since the mutant TNSALP was significantly labelled with [3H]ethanolamine, a component of GPI, comparable with the wild-type enzyme, it is unlikely that the abortive synthesis of the mutant is due to a defect in GPI-attachment. Interestingly, when asparagine was replaced by glutamine at position 153 (N153D), TNSALP (N153Q) was indistinguishable from the wild-type enzyme in terms of its molecular properties, suggesting the possible importance of amino acids with a polar amide group at position 153. Taken together, these findings indicate that replacing asparagine with aspartic acid at position 153 causes misfolding and incorrect assembly of TNSALP, which results in its retention at the cis-Golgi en route to the cell surface, followed by a delayed degradation, presumably as part of a quality-control process. We postulate that the molecular basis of the perinatal hypophosphatasia associated with TNSALP (N153D) is due to the absence of mature TNSALP at the cell surface.

Alkaline phosphatases from vegetative and sporulating cells of B. subtilis have been shown previously to be identical in all criteria examined. Despite this, 15 mutants producing low levels of the phosphatase during phosphate starvation of vegetative cells have been shown to produce high levels of the sporulation-specific alkaline phosphatase. It has been shown by imrnunochemical means that seven of these mutants when starved of phosphate produce low levels of normal wild-type enzyme. The sporulation form of the enzyme from one mutant (P-l00) has been shown to be identical with the phosphatases from vegetative and sporulating cells of the wild type. It is proposed that all the mutants have regulatory defects in the control of the alkaline phosphatase from vegetative cells but nevertheless retain an intact structural gene for the enzyme and the control system for the phosphatase during sporulation.

UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 (UGT1) is a central quality control gatekeeper in the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The reglucosylation of glycoproteins supports their rebinding to the carbohydrate-binding ER molecular chaperones calnexin and calreticulin. A cell-based reglucosylation assay was used to investigate the role of UGT1 in ER protein surveillance or the quality control process. UGT1 was found to modify wild-type proteins or proteins that are expected to eventually traffic out of the ER through the secretory pathway. Trapping of reglucosylated wild-type substrates in their monoglucosylated state delayed their secretion. Whereas terminally misfolded substrates or off-pathway proteins were most efficiently reglucosylated by UGT1, the trapping of these mutant substrates in their reglucosylated or monoglucosylated state did not delay their degradation by the ER-associated degradation pathway. This indicated that monoglucosylated mutant proteins were actively extracted from the calnexin/calreticulin binding-reglucosylation cycle for degradation. Therefore trapping proteins in their monoglucosylated state was sufficient to delay their exit to the Golgi but had no effect on their rate of degradation, suggesting that the degradation selection process progressed in a dominant manner that was independent of reglucosylation and the glucose-containing A-branch on the substrate glycans.

The periodontopathic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis forms pigmented colonies when incubated on blood agar plates as a result of accumulation of μ-oxo haem dimer on the cell surface. Gingipain–adhesin complexes are responsible for production of μ-oxo haem dimer from haemoglobin. Non-pigmented mutants (Tn6-5, Tn7-1, Tn7-3 and Tn10-4) were isolated from P. gingivalis by Tn4351 transposon mutagenesis [Hoover & Yoshimura (1994), FEMS Microbiol Lett 124, 43–48]. In this study, we found that the Tn6-5, Tn7-1 and Tn7-3 mutants carried Tn4351 DNA in a gene homologous to the ugdA gene encoding UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase, a gene encoding a putative group 1 family glycosyltransferase and a gene homologous to the rfa gene encoding ADP heptose-LPS heptosyltransferase, respectively. The Tn10-4 mutant carried Tn4351 DNA at the same position as that for Tn7-1. Gingipain activities associated with cells of the Tn7-3 mutant (rfa) were very weak, whereas gingipain activities were detected in the culture supernatants. Immunoblot and mass spectrometry analyses also revealed that gingipains, including their precursor forms, were present in the culture supernatants. A lipopolysaccharide (LPS) fraction of the rfa deletion mutant did not show the ladder pattern that was usually seen for the LPS of the wild-type P. gingivalis. A recombinant chimera gingipain was able to bind to an LPS fraction of the wild-type P. gingivalis in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the rfa gene product is associated with biosynthesis of LPS and/or cell-surface polysaccharides that can function as an anchorage for gingipain–adhesin complexes.

ABSTRACT By using a detergent-washed membrane preparation, the interaction of the fungal natural product inhibitor aureobasidin A (AbA) with inositol phosphorylceramide synthase (IPC synthase) was studied by kinetic analysis of wild-type and mutant enzyme-catalyzed reactions. AbA inhibited the wild-type enzyme from both Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in an irreversible, time-dependent manner, with apparent Ki values of 183 and 234 pM, respectively. Three synthetic chemistry-derived AbA derivatives, PHA-533179, PHA-556655, and PHA-556656, had affinities 4 to 5 orders of magnitude lower and were reversible inhibitors that competed with the donor substrate phosphatidylinositol (PI). AbA was a reversible, apparently noncompetitive inhibitor, with a Ki of 1.4 μM, of the IPC synthase from an AbA-resistant S. cerevisiae mutant. The Km values for both substrates (ceramide and PI) were similar when they interacted with the mutant and the wild-type enzymes. By contrast, the V max for the mutant enzyme was less than 10% of that for the wild-type enzyme. A comparison of the results obtained with AbA with those obtained with two other natural products inhibitors, rustmicin and khafrefungin, revealed that while rustmicin appeared to be a reversible, noncompetitive inhibitor of the wild-type enzyme, with a Ki of 16.0 nM, khafrefungin had the kinetic properties of a time-dependent inhibitor and an apparent Ki of 0.43 nM. An evaluation of the efficiencies of these compounds as inhibitors of the mutant enzyme revealed for both a drop in the apparent affinity for the enzyme of more than 2 orders of magnitude.

Abstract Background: CD33, the target for the anti-AML immunoconjugate, gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO; Mylotarg™), contains two cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). We have previously shown that these motifs control uptake of antibody-bound CD33 and GO-induced cytotoxicity. In this study, we determined which phosphorylation state favors uptake of antibody-bound CD33, identified proteins that bind to CD33 in an ITIM-dependent manner, and assessed their importance for CD33 internalization by siRNA-based gene silencing. Methods: Internalization of anti-CD33 antibodies was measured by flow cytometry in the presence or absence of the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, pervanadate, in human CD33+ AML cell lines (ML-1, HL-60, NB4, U937, TF-1) and CD33− Jurkat T cells infected with wild-type and mutant CD33. Pull-down experiments were performed with glutathione S-transferase (GST) proteins fused to phosphorylated cytoplasmic tails of CD33, using human myeloid cell lysates. Co-immunoprecipitations were performed with myeloid cell lines expressing HA-tagged wild-type CD33. Lentivirus-based siRNA constructs were generated for gene silencing, and expressed in human CD33+ AML cell lines. Results: Pervanadate significantly increased uptake of anti-CD33 antibodies in human AML cell lines; this effect was dependent upon the integrity of the ITIMs and was prevented by co-treatment with the Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2, suggesting that Src family kinase-dependent phosphorylation of the ITIMs critically controls uptake of antibody-bound CD33, possibly by altering which proteins binds to CD33 or by facilitating binding of adaptor-proteins required for endocytosis. We identified several proteins, including the tyrosine phophatases, SHP-1 and SHP-2, and the non-receptor tyrosine kinase, Syk, which bound to phosphorylated wild-type and mutant CD33 in a manner that paralleled the endocytic properties of the corresponding CD33 protein. Since these three proteins have been implicated in endocytic processes of other cell surface proteins, we assessed their role in uptake of antibody-bound CD33 by siRNA-mediated gene silencing. Simultaneous depletion of SHP-1 and SHP-2, but not SHP-1 or SHP-2 alone, significantly increased internalization of antibody-bound CD33 in the two AML cell lines with the highest cell surface expression of CD33, whereas no effect was seen in two other cell lines with lower CD33 expression levels. In contrast, depletion of Syk, whose expression has previously been correlated to the inhibitory effect of anti-CD33 antibodies on AML cell growth, failed to affect antibody internalization in the cell lines assessed. Conclusion: These studies indicate that the phosphorylation status of the ITIMs controls uptake of antibody-bound CD33. In line with this model, SHP-1 and SHP-2, which have been shown to dephosphorylate CD33 in vitro, can affect this endocytic process. Thus, our data imply manipulation of the phosphorylation state of CD33, e.g. by activating Src family kinases or interfering with phosphatases as a novel means to increase uptake of anti-CD33 antibody-based therapeutics such as GO. Finally, the variable effect of SHP-1 and SHP-2 depletion suggests that there are significant cell-type specific differences in the response to anti-CD33 antibody ligation, for example differences in tyrosine phosphorylation levels and/or activation/recruitment or redundancies of tyrosine phosphatases.

Tumor necrosis factor-associated ligand inducing apoptosis (TRAIL) induces apoptosis through the death receptors (DRs) 4 and 5 expressed on the cell surface. Upon ligand stimulation, death receptors are rapidly internalized through clathrin-dependent and -independent mechanisms. However, there have been conflicting data on the role of death receptor endocytosis in apoptotic TRAIL signaling and possible cell type-specific differences in TRAIL signaling have been proposed. Here we have compared the kinetics of TRAIL-mediated internalization and subsequent recycling of DR4 and DR5 in resistant (HT-29 and A549) and sensitive (HCT116 and Jurkat) tumor cell lines of various origin. TRAIL stimulated the internalization of both receptors in a concentration-dependent manner with similar kinetics in sensitive and resistant cell lines without affecting the steady-state expression of DR4 and DR5 in cell lysates. Using the receptor-selective TRAIL variant DR5-B, we have shown that DR5 is internalized independently of DR4 receptor. After internalization and elimination of TRAIL from culture medium, the receptors slowly return to the plasma membrane. Within 4 h in resistant or 6 h in sensitive cells, the surface expression of receptors was completely restored. Recovery of receptors occurred both from newly synthesized molecules or from trans-Golgi network, as cycloheximide and brefeldin A inhibited this process. These agents also suppressed the expression of cell surface receptors in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, indicating that DRs undergo constitutive endocytosis. Inhibition of receptor endocytosis by sucrose led to sensitization of resistant cells to TRAIL and to an increase in its cytotoxic activity against sensitive cells. Our results confirm the universal nature of TRAIL-induced death receptor endocytosis, thus cell sensitivity to TRAIL can be associated with post-endocytic events.

Mutations in voltage-gated Na+ channels have been linked to several channelopathies leading to a wide variety of diseases including cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy, and myotonia. We have previously demonstrated that voltage-gated Na+ channel (Nav)1.5 trafficking-deficient mutant channels could lead to a dominant negative effect by impairing trafficking of the wild-type (WT) channel. We also reported that voltage-gated Na+ channels associate as dimers with coupled gating properties. Here, we hypothesized that the dominant negative effect of mutant Na+ channels could also occur through coupled gating. This was tested using cell surface biotinylation and single channel recordings to measure the gating probability and coupled gating of the dimers. As previously reported, coexpression of Nav1.5-L325R with WT channels led to a dominant negative effect, as reflected by a 75% reduction in current density. Surprisingly, cell surface biotinylation showed that Nav1.5-L325R mutant is capable of trafficking, with 40% of Nav1.5-L325R reaching the cell surface when expressed alone. Importantly, even though a dominant negative effect on the Na+ current is observed when WT and Nav1.5-L325R are expressed together, the total Nav channel cell surface expression was not significantly altered compared with WT channels alone. Thus, the trafficking deficiency could not explain the 75% decrease in inward Na+ current. Interestingly, single channel recordings showed that Nav1.5-L325R exerted a dominant negative effect on the WT channel at the gating level. Both coupled gating and gating probability of WT:L325R dimers were drastically impaired. We conclude that dominant negative suppression exerted by Nav1.5 mutants can also be caused by impairing the WT gating probability, a mechanism resulting from the dimerization and coupled gating of voltage-gated Na+ channel α-subunits. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The presence of dominant negative mutations in the Na+ channel gene leading to Brugada syndrome was supported by our recent findings that Na+ channel α-subunits form dimers. Up until now, the dominant negative effect was thought to be caused by the interaction of the wild-type Na+ channel with trafficking-deficient mutant channels. However, the present study demonstrates that coupled gating of voltage-gated Na+ channels can also be responsible for the dominant negative effect leading to arrhythmias.

ABSTRACT The phoB gene of Bacillus subtilis encodes an alkaline phosphatase (PhoB, formerly alkaline phosphatase III) that is expressed from separate promoters during phosphate deprivation in a PhoP-PhoR-dependent manner and at stage two of sporulation under phosphate-sufficient conditions independent of PhoP-PhoR. Isogenic strains containing either the complete phoB promoter or individual phoB promoter fusions were used to assess expression from each promoter under both induction conditions. The phoB promoter responsible for expression during sporulation, phoB-PS, was expressed in a wild-type strain during phosphate deprivation, but induction occurred >3 h later than induction of Pho regulon genes and the levels were approximately 50-fold lower than that observed for the PhoPR-dependent promoter, phoB-PV. EσE was necessary and sufficient for PS expression in vitro. PS expression in a phoPR mutant strain was delayed 2 to 3 h compared to the expression in a wild-type strain, suggesting that expression or activation of σE is delayed in a phoPR mutant under phosphate-deficient conditions, an observation consistent with a role for PhoPR in spore development under these conditions. Phosphorylated PhoP (PhoP∼P) repressed PS in vitro via direct binding to the promoter, the first example of an EσE-responsive promoter that is repressed by PhoP∼P. Whereas either PhoP or PhoP∼P in the presence of EσA was sufficient to stimulate transcription from the phoB-PV promoter in vitro, roughly 10- and 17-fold-higher concentrations of PhoP than of PhoP∼P were required for PV promoter activation and maximal promoter activity, respectively. The promoter for a second gene in the Pho regulon, ykoL, was also activated by elevated concentrations of unphosphorylated PhoP in vitro. However, because no Pho regulon gene expression was observed in vivo during Pi -replete growth and PhoP concentrations increased only threefold in vivo during phoPR autoinduction, a role for unphosphorylated PhoP in Pho regulon activation in vivo is not likely.

The intrarenal autocrine-paracrine dopamine (DA) system mediates a significant fraction of the natriuresis in response to a salt load. DA inhibits a number of Na+ transporters to effect sodium excretion, including the proximal tubule Na+/H+ exchanger-3 (NHE3). DA represent a single hormone that regulates NHE3 at multiple levels, including translation, degradation, endocytosis, and protein phosphorylation. Because cell surface NHE3 protein is determined by the balance between exocytotic insertion and endocytotic retrieval, we examined whether DA acutely affects the rate of NHE3 exocytosis in a cell culture model. DA inhibited NHE3 exocytosis at a dose-dependent manner with a half maximal around 10−6 M. The DA effect on NHE3 exocytosis was blocked by inhibition of protein kinase A and by brefeldin A, which inhibits endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport. NHE3 directly interacts with the ε-subunit of coatomer protein based on yeast-two-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation. Because NHE3 has been shown to be recycled back to the cell membrane after endocytosis, we measured NHE3 recycling using a biochemical reinsertion assay and showed that reinsertion of NHE3 back to the membrane is also inhibited by DA. In conclusion, among the many mechanisms by which DA reduces apical membrane NHE3 and induces proximal tubule natriuresis, one additional mechanism is inhibition of exocytotic insertion and reinsertion of NHE3 in the apical cell surface.
