Zinc transport via ZNT5-6 and ZNT7 is critical for cell surface glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein expression.

ABSTRACT: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins play crucial roles in various enzyme activities, cell signaling and adhesion, and immune responses. While the molecular mechanism underlying GPI-anchored protein biosynthesis has been well studied, the role of zinc transport in this process has not yet been elucidated. Zn transporter (ZNT) proteins mobilize cytosolic zinc to the extracellular space and to intracellular compartments. Here, we report that the early secretory pathway ZNTs (ZNT5-ZNT6 heterodimers [ZNT5-6] and ZNT7-ZNT7 homodimers [ZNT7]), which supply zinc to the lumen of the early secretory pathway compartments are essential for GPI-anchored protein expression on the cell surface. We show, using overexpression and gene disruption/re-expression strategies in cultured human cells, that loss of ZNT5-6 and ZNT7 zinc transport functions results in significant reduction in GPI-anchored protein levels similar to that in mutant cells lacking phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis (PIG) genes. Furthermore, medaka fish with disrupted Znt5 and Znt7 genes show touch-insensitive phenotypes similar to zebrafish Pig mutants. These findings provide a previously unappreciated insight into the regulation of GPI-anchored protein expression and protein quality control in the early secretory pathway.

Project description:ObjectiveInvestigate the contribution of PIG-A mutations to clonal expansion in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).Materials and methodsPrimary CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors from PNH patients were assayed for annexin-V positivity by flow cytometry in a cell-mediated killing assay using autologous effectors from PNH patients or allogeneic effectors from healthy controls. To specifically assess the role of the PIG-A mutation in the development of clonal dominance and address confounders of secondary mutation and differential immune attack that can confound experiments using primary cells, we established an inducible PIG-A CD34+ myeloid cell line, TF-1. Apoptosis resistance was assessed after exposure to allogeneic effectors, NK92 cells (an interleukin-2-dependent cell line with the phenotype and function of activated natural killer [NK] cells), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and gamma-irradiation. Apoptosis was measured by annexin-V staining and caspase 3/7 activity.ResultsIn PNH patients, CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors lacking glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins (GPI-AP(-)) were less susceptible than GPI-AP+ CD34+ precursors to autologous (8% vs 49%; p < 0.05) and allogeneic (28% vs 58%; p < 0.05) cell-mediated killing from the same patients. In the inducible PIG-A model, GPI-AP(-) TF-1 cells exhibited less apoptosis than induced, GPI-AP+ TF-1 cells in response to allogeneic cell-mediated killing, NK92-mediated killing, TNF-alpha, and gamma-irradiation. GPI-AP(-) TF-1 cells maintained resistance to apoptosis when effectors were raised against GPI-AP(-) cells, arguing against a GPI-AP being the target of immune attack in PNH. NK92-mediated killing was partially inhibited with blockade by specific antibodies to the stress-inducible GPI-AP ULBP1 and ULBP2 that activate immune effectors. Clonal competition experiments demonstrate that the mutant clone expands over time under proapoptotic conditions with TNF-alpha.ConclusionPIG-A mutations contribute to clonal expansion in PNH by conferring a survival advantage to hematopoietic progenitors under proapoptotic stresses.
