Further characterization of the plasma membrane- and intracellular membrane-associated platelet Ca2+ transport systems.

ABSTRACT: Biochemical characterization of the Ca2+-ATPases isolated from human platelet intracellular and plasma membranes is reported. A comparative study of the previously partly described plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase [Enouf, Bredoux, Bourdeau & Levy-Toledano (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 9293-9297] and the intracellular membrane Ca2+-ATPase obtained simultaneously shows differences in the following parameters: (1) different kinetics of the two enzymes; (2) similar apparent affinity towards Ca2+ (10(-7) M), though the intracellular membrane enzyme was inhibited at Ca2+ concentrations above 10(-6) M; (3) different pH dependence with an activity maximum at pH 7 for the intracellular membrane Ca2+-ATPase and no detectable pH maximum for the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase; (4) a 10-fold difference in the ATP requirement of the two Ca2+-ATPases; (5) different patterns of inhibition by vanadate. Finally, the possible regulation of the Ca2+-ATPases was examined by studying the effect of chlorpromazine on the two Ca2+-ATPase activities, with only the plasma membrane enzyme being inhibited. It is concluded that the two platelet Ca2+ transport systems show biochemical differences in spite of the previously shown similarity in the molecular masses of their Ca2+-ATPases, thus conferring a definite specificity to the platelet system.

The phosphoprotein that regulates platelet Ca2+ transport is located on the plasma membrane, controls membrane-associated Ca2(+)-ATPase and is not glycoprotein Ib beta-subunit.

Project description:The localization and identity of the human platelet 24 kDa cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent phosphoprotein, previously reported to regulate Ca2+ transport, was investigated. It was found to be located on plasma membranes after isolation of these membranes from microsomes. Thus cAMP-dependent regulation of Ca2+ transport was associated with the plasma membrane fraction. Time course studies showed that the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (c-sub) induced a maximal 2-fold stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by the plasma membrane vesicles. This stimulation was dose-dependent up to 15 micrograms of c-sub/ml. The increase in Ca2+ uptake also depended upon the outside Ca2+ concentration, and was maximal at 1 microM. As regards the identity of the phosphoprotein, it was clearly distinct from the beta-subunit of glycoprotein Ib, as after electrophoresis under reduced conditions it appeared as a 24 kDa protein, but under non-reduced conditions it appeared as a 22 kDa and not as a 170 kDa protein. Nevertheless, glycoprotein Ib was certainly present, because it was detected with two polyclonal antibodies raised against its two subunits. Furthermore, the 24 kDa phosphoprotein was also present in membranes isolated from platelets obtained from patients with Bernard Soulier Syndrome; these membranes contain no glycoprotein Ib.

INTRACELLULAR TRANSPORT. PI4P/phosphatidylserine countertransport at ORP5- and ORP8-mediated ER-plasma membrane contacts.

Project description:Lipid transfer between cell membrane bilayers at contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other membranes help to maintain membrane lipid homeostasis. We found that two similar ER integral membrane proteins, oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related protein 5 (ORP5) and ORP8, tethered the ER to the plasma membrane (PM) via the interaction of their pleckstrin homology domains with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) in this membrane. Their OSBP-related domains (ORDs) harbored either PI4P or phosphatidylserine (PS) and exchanged these lipids between bilayers. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that ORP5 and ORP8 could mediate PI4P/PS countertransport between the ER and the PM, thus delivering PI4P to the ER-localized PI4P phosphatase Sac1 for degradation and PS from the ER to the PM. This exchange helps to control plasma membrane PI4P levels and selectively enrich PS in the PM.

New isolation procedure and further biochemical characterization of glycoproteins IIb and IIIa from human platelet plasma membrane.

Project description:We describe a new procedure for isolation of glycoproteins IIb (GPIIb) and IIIa (GPIIIa) from human platelet plasma membrane with high yields (2.7 mg of GPIIb and 3.3 mg of GPIIIa per 100 mg of starting platelet membrane proteins), equivalent to a recovery of 35% and 55% respectively of the total GPIIb and GPIIIa of the membrane. The procedure involves Triton X-100 differential extraction of platelet membranes, SDS solubilization of the 4%-Triton X-100 supernatant, zonal centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient, and preparative high-performance size-exclusion chromatography. The weight percentage of sugar is 15.7% for GPIIb and 12.5% for GPIIIa. Neuraminic acid is present in both glycoproteins, representing 30% and 15% respectively of the total sugar weight of GPIIb and GPIIIa. Mannose, galactose and glucosamine account for 45%, 13% and 28% respectively of the sugars of GPIIIa, whereas galactosamine was not detected. Mannose, galactose, glucosamine and galactosamine represent 17%, 21%, 24% and 10% respectively of the sugar content of GPIIb. The molar percentages of half-cystine and methionine are 4-fold and 2-fold higher respectively in GPIIIa than in GPIIb. From the amino acid and sugar compositions we confirmed the acidic nature of both glycoproteins. The Mr values obtained, 136,500 for GPIIb and 91,500 for GPIIIa, are in very good agreement with those obtained by physical methods. The apparent lack of free thiol groups in both glycoproteins indicates that the tertiary structure of GPIIIa is maintained by 21 intrachain disulphide bonds, and that there are eight intrachain and interchain disulphide groups in GPIIb.

Calcium occlusion in plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase.

Project description:In this work, we set out to identify and characterize the calcium occluded intermediate(s) of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) to study the mechanism of calcium transport. To this end, we developed a procedure for measuring the occlusion of Ca(2+) in microsomes containing PMCA. This involves a system for overexpression of the PMCA and the use of a rapid mixing device combined with a filtration chamber, allowing the isolation of the enzyme and quantification of retained calcium. Measurements of retained calcium as a function of the Ca(2+) concentration in steady state showed a hyperbolic dependence with an apparent dissociation constant of 12 ± 2.2 μM, which agrees with the value found through measurements of PMCA activity in the absence of calmodulin. When enzyme phosphorylation and the retained calcium were studied as a function of time in the presence of La(III) (inducing accumulation of phosphoenzyme in the E(1)P state), we obtained apparent rate constants not significantly different from each other. Quantification of EP and retained calcium in steady state yield a stoichiometry of one mole of occluded calcium per mole of phosphoenzyme. These results demonstrate for the first time that one calcium ion becomes occluded in the E(1)P-phosphorylated intermediate of the PMCA.

Primary Active Ca2+ Transport Systems in Health and Disease.

Project description:Calcium ions (Ca2+) are prominent cell signaling effectors that regulate a wide variety of cellular processes. Among the different players in Ca2+ homeostasis, primary active Ca2+ transporters are responsible for keeping low basal Ca2+ levels in the cytosol while establishing steep Ca2+ gradients across intracellular membranes or the plasma membrane. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the three types of primary active Ca2+-ATPases: the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pumps, the secretory pathway Ca2+- ATPase (SPCA) isoforms, and the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) Ca2+-transporters. We first discuss the Ca2+ transport mechanism of SERCA1a, which serves as a reference to describe the Ca2+ transport of other Ca2+ pumps. We further highlight the common and unique features of each isoform and review their structure-function relationship, expression pattern, regulatory mechanisms, and specific physiological roles. Finally, we discuss the increasing genetic and in vivo evidence that links the dysfunction of specific Ca2+-ATPase isoforms to a broad range of human pathologies, and highlight emerging therapeutic strategies that target Ca2+ pumps.

Cytochrome P-450 may link intracellular Ca2+ stores with plasma membrane Ca2+ influx.

Project description:We have studied the mechanism of the regulation of plasma membrane Ca2+ permeability by the degree of filling of the intracellular Ca2+ stores. Using Mn2+ as a Ca2+ surrogate for plasma membrane Ca2+ channels, we found that Mn2+ uptake by rat thymocytes is inversely related to the degree of filling of the intracellular Ca2+ stores. This store-dependent plasma membrane permeability is inhibited by oxygen scavenging, CO, imidazole antimycotics and other cytochrome P-450 inhibitors. The pattern of inhibition is similar to that reported previously for the inhibition of microsomal cytochrome P-450-mediated aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity of lymphocytes. Several calmodulin antagonists, both phenothiazinic (trifluoperazine, fluphenazine and chlorpromazine) and dibenzodiazepinic (clozapine), accelerate Mn2+ uptake by cells with Ca2(+)-filled stores, and this effect is prevented by imidazole antimycotics. Our results suggest that cytochrome P-450 may be the link between the stores and the plasma membrane Ca2+ pathway. We propose a model in which this cytochrome, sited at the stores, stimulates plasma membrane Ca2+ influx. This stimulatory effect is, in turn, prevented by the presence of Ca2+ inside the stores, possibly via a calmodulin-dependent mechanism.

Plasma membrane-associated annexin A6 reduces Ca2+ entry by stabilizing the cortical actin cytoskeleton.

Project description:The annexins are a family of Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-binding proteins, which interact with membranes upon increase of [Ca(2+)](i) or during cytoplasmic acidification. The transient nature of the membrane binding of annexins complicates the study of their influence on intracellular processes. To address the function of annexins at the plasma membrane (PM), we fused fluorescent protein-tagged annexins A6, A1, and A2 with H- and K-Ras membrane anchors. Stable PM localization of membrane-anchored annexin A6 significantly decreased the store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), but did not influence the rates of Ca(2+) extrusion. This attenuation was specific for annexin A6 because PM-anchored annexins A1 and A2 did not alter SOCE. Membrane association of annexin A6 was necessary for a measurable decrease of SOCE, because cytoplasmic annexin A6 had no effect on Ca(2+) entry as long as [Ca(2+)](i) was below the threshold of annexin A6-membrane translocation. However, when [Ca(2+)](i) reached the levels necessary for the Ca(2+)-dependent PM association of ectopically expressed wild-type annexin A6, SOCE was also inhibited. Conversely, knockdown of the endogenous annexin A6 in HEK293 cells resulted in an elevated Ca(2+) entry. Constitutive PM localization of annexin A6 caused a rearrangement and accumulation of F-actin at the PM, indicating a stabilized cortical cytoskeleton. Consistent with these findings, disruption of the actin cytoskeleton using latrunculin A abolished the inhibitory effect of PM-anchored annexin A6 on SOCE. In agreement with the inhibitory effect of annexin A6 on SOCE, constitutive PM localization of annexin A6 inhibited cell proliferation. Taken together, our results implicate annexin A6 in the actin-dependent regulation of Ca(2+) entry, with consequences for the rates of cell proliferation.

Plasma membrane-located purine nucleotide transport proteins are key components for host exploitation by microsporidian intracellular parasites.

Project description:Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites of most animal groups including humans, but despite their significant economic and medical importance there are major gaps in our understanding of how they exploit infected host cells. We have investigated the evolution, cellular locations and substrate specificities of a family of nucleotide transport (NTT) proteins from Trachipleistophora hominis, a microsporidian isolated from an HIV/AIDS patient. Transport proteins are critical to microsporidian success because they compensate for the dramatic loss of metabolic pathways that is a hallmark of the group. Our data demonstrate that the use of plasma membrane-located nucleotide transport proteins (NTT) is a key strategy adopted by microsporidians to exploit host cells. Acquisition of an ancestral transporter gene at the base of the microsporidian radiation was followed by lineage-specific events of gene duplication, which in the case of T. hominis has generated four paralogous NTT transporters. All four T. hominis NTT proteins are located predominantly to the plasma membrane of replicating intracellular cells where they can mediate transport at the host-parasite interface. In contrast to published data for Encephalitozoon cuniculi, we found no evidence for the location for any of the T. hominis NTT transporters to its minimal mitochondria (mitosomes), consistent with lineage-specific differences in transporter and mitosome evolution. All of the T. hominis NTTs transported radiolabelled purine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, GTP and GDP) when expressed in Escherichia coli, but did not transport radiolabelled pyrimidine nucleotides. Genome analysis suggests that imported purine nucleotides could be used by T. hominis to make all of the critical purine-based building-blocks for DNA and RNA biosynthesis during parasite intracellular replication, as well as providing essential energy for parasite cellular metabolism and protein synthesis.

Oxytocin regulates the plasma membrane Ca2+ transport in rat myometrium.

Project description:Development of myometrium in young female rats was stimulated by administration of diethylstilboestrol. Plasma membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum from rat myometrium were separated by a new and rapid method using a Percoll gradient. Calcium uptake was inhibited in plasma membrane vesicles isolated from oxytocin-treated myometrium, while no consistent effect of oxytocin was found on the Ca2+ uptake in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Oxytocin regulated the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump by decreasing its apparent affinity for Ca2+ without affecting its maximal velocity. The K1/2 for Ca2+ in the absence of calmodulin was 0.41 +/- 0.04 microM in normal membranes; this was increased to 0.93 +/- 0.12 microM in oxytocin-treated membranes. Calmodulin decreased the K1/2 for Ca2+ to 0.27 +/- 0.027 microM and oxytocin also increased this, to 0.46 +/- 0.061 microM. The effect of oxytocin on the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump was highly dependent on the hormonal status of the animals. When the diethylstilboestrol was administered together with progesterone, the inhibitory action of oxytocin was totally suppressed, consistent with the expected action of this agent. The results suggest that regulation of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump may be important in the prolonged elevation of intracellular Ca2+ caused by oxytocin.

Reaction-diffusion systems in intracellular molecular transport and control.

Project description:Chemical reactions make cells work only if the participating chemicals are delivered to desired locations in a timely and precise fashion. Most research to date has focused on active-transport mechanisms, although passive diffusion is often equally rapid and energetically less costly. Capitalizing on these advantages, cells have developed sophisticated reaction-diffusion (RD) systems that control a wide range of cellular functions-from chemotaxis and cell division, through signaling cascades and oscillations, to cell motility. These apparently diverse systems share many common features and are "wired" according to "generic" motifs such as nonlinear kinetics, autocatalysis, and feedback loops. Understanding the operation of these complex (bio)chemical systems requires the analysis of pertinent transport-kinetic equations or, at least on a qualitative level, of the characteristic times of the constituent subprocesses. Therefore, in reviewing the manifestations of cellular RD, we also describe basic theory of reaction-diffusion phenomena.
