Molecular signatures of membrane protein complexes underlying muscular dystrophy

ABSTRACT: Mutations in genes encoding components of the sarcolemmal dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) are responsible for a large number of muscular dystrophies. As such, molecular dissection of the DGC is expected to both reveal pathological mechanisms, and provides a biological framework for validating new DGC components. Establishment of the molecular composition of plasma-membrane protein complexes has been hampered by a lack of suitable biochemical approaches. Here we present an analytical workflow based upon the principles of protein correlation profiling that has enabled us to model the molecular composition of plasma-membrane protein complexes in mouse skeletal muscle. We also report our analysis of protein complexes in mice harboring mutations in DGC components, which implicates cell-adhesion pathways directly targeted by NFκB in the pathophysiology of DGC-related muscular dystrophies. Our study suggests that inflammatory and compensatory mechanisms are activated in these diseases. Additionally, it provides a molecular framework that will facilitate refinement of our understanding of the DGC, identification of protein biomarkers of neuromuscular disease, and pharmacological interrogation of the DGC in adult skeletal muscle.

Project description:Aberrant activation of androgen receptor (AR)-dependent transcriptional programs is a hallmark of human prostate cancers. At the molecular level, ligand-mediated AR activation is coordinated through spatial and temporal protein-protein interactions (PPIs) involving AR-interacting proteins, which we designate the “AR-interactome”. Despite many years of research, the ligand-sensitive protein complexes involved in ligand-mediated AR activation in prostate-tumor cells has not been clearly defined. Here, we describe the development, characterization, and utilization of a novel human LNCaP prostate-tumor cell line, N-AR, which stably expresses wild-type AR containing the streptavidin-binding peptide epitope tagged at its N-terminus (SBP-AR). A bioanalytical workflow involving streptavidin-chromatography and label-free quantitative mass spectrometry was used to identify SBP-AR and associated ligand-sensitive proteins/protein complexes functionally linked to AR activation in the cytosol of N-AR cells. Functional studies verified that ligand-sensitive streptavidin-copurified proteins encoded modulators of AR-mediated transcription, suggesting that these novel proteins were putative SBP-AR-interacting proteins in N-AR cells. This was supported by biochemical associations between recombinant SBP-AR and the ligand-sensitive COPI retrograde trafficking complex in vitro. Extensive biochemical and molecular experiments showed that the COPI-retrograde complex regulates ligand-mediated AR transcriptional activation through the mobilization of Golgi-localized ARA160 coactivator into the nuclear compartment of prostate-tumor cells. Collectively, this study provides a bioanalytical strategy to validate the AR-interactome and define novel AR-interacting proteins involved in ligand-mediated AR activation in prostate-tumor cells. Moreover, we describe a cellular system to study how compartment-specific AR-interacting proteins influence AR activation and contribute to aberrant AR-dependent transcription that underlies the majority of human prostate cancers.
