Factors regulating the abundance and localization of synaptobrevin in the plasma membrane.

ABSTRACT: After synaptic vesicle fusion, vesicle proteins must be segregated from plasma membrane proteins and recycled to maintain a functional vesicle pool. We monitored the distribution of synaptobrevin, a vesicle protein required for exocytosis, in Caenorhabditis elegans motor neurons by using a pH-sensitive synaptobrevin GFP fusion protein, synaptopHluorin. We estimated that 30% of synaptobrevin was present in the plasma membrane. By using a panel of endocytosis and exocytosis mutants, we found that the majority of surface synaptobrevin derives from fusion of synaptic vesicles and that, in steady state, synaptobrevin equilibrates throughout the axon. The surface synaptobrevin was enriched near active zones, and its spatial extent was regulated by the clathrin adaptin AP180. These results suggest that there is a plasma membrane reservoir of synaptobrevin that is supplied by the synaptic vesicle cycle and available for retrieval throughout the axon. The size of the reservoir is set by the relative rates of exo- and endocytosis.

Project description:Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) induces hepatic stellate cell (HSC) differentiation into tumor-promoting myofibroblast, although underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is activated in response to TGFβ stimulation, so it transmits TGFβ stimulus to extracellular signal-regulated kinase and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. However, it is unknown whether FAK can, in return, modulate TGFβ receptors. In this study, we tested whether FAK phosphorylated TGFβ receptor 2 (TGFβR2) and regulated TGFβR2 intracellular trafficking in HSCs. The FAKY397F mutant and PF-573,228 were used to inhibit the kinase activity of FAK, the TGFβR2 protein level was quantitated by immunoblotting, and HSC differentiation into myofibroblast was assessed by expression of HSC activation markers, alpha-smooth muscle actin, fibronectin, or connective tissue growth factor. We found that targeting FAK kinase activity suppressed the TGFβR2 protein level, TGFβ1-induced mothers against decapentaplegic homolog phosphorylation, and myofibroblastic activation of HSCs. At the molecular and cellular level, active FAK (phosphorylated FAK at tyrosine 397) bound to TGFβR2 and kept TGFβR2 at the peripheral plasma membrane of HSCs, and it induced TGFβR2 phosphorylation at tyrosine 336. In contrast, targeting FAK or mutating Y336 to F on TGFβR2 led to lysosomal sorting and degradation of TGFβR2. Using RNA sequencing, we identified that the transcripts of 764 TGFβ target genes were influenced by FAK inhibition, and that through FAK, TGFβ1 stimulated HSCs to produce a panel of tumor-promoting factors, including extracellular matrix remodeling proteins, growth factors and cytokines, and immune checkpoint molecule PD-L1. Functionally, targeting FAK inhibited tumor-promoting effects of HSCs in vitro and in a tumor implantation mouse model. Conclusion: FAK targets TGFβR2 to the plasma membrane and protects TGFβR2 from lysosome-mediated degradation, thereby promoting TGFβ-mediated HSC activation. FAK is a target for suppressing HSC activation and the hepatic tumor microenvironment.

Project description:As a member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels, TRPV5 is a unique Ca2+-selective channel important for active reabsorption of Ca2+ in the kidney. TRPV5-mediated Ca2+ entry into the cell is controlled by a negative feedback mechanism, in which calmodulin (CaM) blocks the TRPV5 pore upon Ca2+ binding. Combining microscopy techniques and biochemical assays, the present study uncovered an auxiliary role for CaM in the regulation of human (h)TRPV5 intracellular trafficking. Overexpressed hTRPV5 was mainly localised to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and associated with peripheral ER tubules. Limiting expression using the HEK293 TET-off system revealed that hTRPV5 trafficked through the endocytic recycling pathway. CaM co-localised with hTRPV5 at intracellular sites and overexpression of CaM slowed hTRPV5 exit from the ER. In accordance, CaM binding-disrupting truncations of the TRPV5 C-terminus (698X) or knockdown of endogenous CaM by small interfering RNA resulted in an increased fraction of TRPV5 that localised to the plasma membrane. hTRPV5 expressing cells had an increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration upon knockdown of CaM. The protein abundance of the Ca2+ impermeable hTRPV5-D542 mutant is also regulated by CaM, which suggests that the mode of action is independent of disrupted intracellular calcium concentrations. In conclusion, our study reveals a novel role for CaM in Ca2+-dependent TRPV5 regulation, modulating TRPV5 intracellular trafficking. KEY POINTS: The renal Ca2+ channel TRPV5 is a crucial player in maintenance of the body's Ca2+ homeostasis. Ca2+ transport through TRPV5 is controlled by single channel activity, as well as TRPV5 plasma membrane abundance. Calmodulin (CaM) co-localised with TRPV5 at intracellular sites and retained TRPV5 in the endoplasmic reticulum. Disrupted CaM-TRPV5 binding or knockdown of endogenous CaM by small interfering RNA (siRNA) resulted in an increased TRPV5 plasma membrane abundance. Knockdown of endogenous CaM by siRNA resulted in increased intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. The regulation of TRPV5 trafficking by CaM is independent of the effect of CaM on intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. This study reveals a novel role for CaM in Ca2+-dependent TRPV5 regulation, next to its ability to directly block the TRPV5 channel pore, by modulating TRPV5 trafficking in the secretory pathway.
