Abstract Chemotaxis promotes neutrophil participation in cellular defense by enabling neutrophil migration to infected tissue and is controlled by persistent cell polarization. One long-standing question of neutrophil polarity has been how the pseudopod and the uropod are coordinated. In our previous report, we suggested that Rho GTPase Cdc42 controls neutrophil polarity through CD11b signaling at the uropod, albeit through an unknown mechanism. Here, we show that Cdc42 controls polarity, unexpectedly, via its effector WASp. Cdc42 controls WASp activation and its distant localization to the uropod. At the uropod, WASp regulates the reorganization of CD11b integrin into detergent resistant membrane domains; in turn, CD11b recruits the microtubule end binding protein EB1 to capture and stabilize microtubules at the uropod. This organization is necessary to maintain neutrophil polarity during migration and is critical for neutrophil emigration into inflamed lungs. These results suggest unrecognized mechanism of neutrophil polarity in which WASp mediates long-distance control of the uropod by Cdc42 to maintain a proper balance between the pseudopod and the uropod. Our study reveals a new function for WASp in the control of neutrophil polarity via crosstalk between CD11b and microtubules.

In yeast, there are at least two vesicle populations upon ER (endoplasmic reticulum) exit, one containing Gap1p (general aminoacid permease) and a glycosylated α-factor, gpαF (glycosylated proα-factor), and the other containing GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol)-anchored proteins, Gas1p (glycophospholipid-anchored surface protein) and Yps1p. We attempted to identify sorting determinants for this protein sorting event in the ER. We found that mutant Gas1 proteins that lack a GPI anchor and/or S/T region (serine- and threonine-rich region), two common characteristic features conserved among yeast GPI-anchored proteins, were still sorted away from Gap1p-containing vesicles. Furthermore, a mutant glycosylated α-factor, gpαGPI, which contains both the GPI anchor and S/T region from Gas1p, still entered Gap1p-containing vesicles, demonstrating that these conserved characteristics do not prevent proteins from entering Gap1p-containing vesicles. gpαF showed severely reduced budding efficiency in the absence of its ER exit receptor Erv29p, and this residual budding product no longer entered Gap1p-containing vesicles. These results suggest that the interaction of gpαF with Erv29p is essential for sorting into Gap1p-containing vesicles. We compared the detergent solubility of Gas1p and the gpαGPI in the ER with that in ER-derived vesicles. Both GPI-anchored proteins similarly partitioned into the DRM (detergent-resistant membrane) in the ER. Based on the fact that they entered different ER-derived vesicles, we conclude that DRM partitioning of GPI-anchored proteins is not the dominant determinant of protein sorting upon ER exit. Interestingly, upon incorporation into the ER-derived vesicles, gpαGPI was no longer detergent-insoluble, in contrast with the persistent detergent insolubility of Gas1p in the ER-derived vesicles. We present different explanations for the different behaviours of GPI-anchored proteins in distinct ER-derived vesicle populations.

On treatment with chemoattractant, the neutrophil plasma membrane becomes organized into detergent-resistant membrane domains (DRMs), the distribution of which is intimately correlated with cell polarization. Plasma membrane at the front of polarized cells is susceptible to extraction by cold Triton X-100, whereas membrane at the rear is resistant to extraction. After cold Triton X-100 extraction, DRM components, including the transmembrane proteins CD44 and CD43, the GPI-linked CD16, and the lipid analog, DiIC16, are retained within uropods and cell bodies. Furthermore, CD44 and CD43 interact concomitantly with DRMs and with the F-actin cytoskeleton, suggesting a mechanism for the formation and stabilization of DRMs. By tracking the distribution of DRMs during polarization, we demonstrate that DRMs progress from a uniform distribution in unstimulated cells to small, discrete patches immediately after activation. Within 1 min, DRMs form a large cap comprising the cell body and uropod. This process is dependent on myosin in that an inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase can arrest DRM reorganization and cell polarization. Colabeling DRMs and F-actin revealed a correlation between DRM distribution and F-actin remodeling, suggesting that plasma membrane organization may orient signaling events that control cytoskeletal rearrangements and, consequently, cell polarity.

Detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) microdomains, or “raft lipids”, are key components of the plasma membrane (PM), being involved in membrane trafficking, signal transduction, cell wall metabolism or endocytosis. Proteins imbibed in these domains play important roles in these cellular functions, but there are few studies concerning DRMs under abiotic stress. In this work, we determine DRMs from the PM of broccoli roots, the lipid and protein content, the vesicles structure, their water osmotic permeability and a proteomic characterization focused mainly in aquaporin isoforms under salinity (80 mM NaCl). Based on biochemical lipid composition, higher fatty acid saturation and enriched sterol content under stress resulted in membranes, which decreased osmotic water permeability with regard to other PM vesicles, but this permeability was maintained under control and saline conditions; this maintenance may be related to a lower amount of total PIP1 and PIP2. Selective aquaporin isoforms related to the stress response such as PIP1;2 and PIP2;7 were found in DRMs and this protein partitioning may act as a mechanism to regulate aquaporins involved in the response to salt stress. Other proteins related to protein synthesis, metabolism and energy were identified in DRMs independently of the treatment, indicating their preference to organize in DMRs.
