Protein sorting Dotaz Zobrazit nápovědu
Plasma membrane proteins synthesised at the endoplasmic reticulum are delivered to the cell surface via sorting pathways. Hydrophobic mismatch theory based on the length of the transmembrane domain (TMD) dominates discussion about determinants required for protein sorting to the plasma membrane. Transmembrane adaptor proteins (TRAP) are involved in signalling events which take place at the plasma membrane. Members of this protein family have TMDs of varying length. We were interested in whether palmitoylation or other motifs contribute to the effective sorting of TRAP proteins. We found that palmitoylation is essential for some, but not all, TRAP proteins independent of their TMD length. We also provide evidence that palmitoylation and proximal sequences can modulate sorting of artificial proteins with TMDs of suboptimal length. Our observations point to a unique character of each TMD defined by its primary amino acid sequence and its impact on membrane protein localisation. We conclude that, in addition to the TMD length, secondary sorting determinants such as palmitoylation or flanking sequences have evolved for the localisation of membrane proteins.

Translokace chromozómů jsou prokázány u 50–70 % případů lidské leukémie. Gen kódující protein PML (promyelocytární leukémie) se účastní přestavby chromozómů t(15;17) u akutní promyelocytární leukémie (APL). Gen PML kóduje protein, který se koncentruje v PML-jaderných tělíscích. Histonacetyltransferázy a histondeacetylázy, proteiny modifikující chromatin, se také hromadí v těchto nukleárních tělíscích v komplexech s proteinem PML a svědčí o úloze těchto komplexů v regulaci transkripce. Prokázané interakce proteinu PML s transkripčními faktory, koaktivátory a korepresory transkripce odpovídají účasti PML v regulaci transkripce. PML hraje důležitou úlohu v apoptóze, proliferaci a stárnutí buněk. Gen pro PML je genem potlačujícím vznik nádorů (tumour suppressor gene) a produkt jeho exprese ovlivňuje v negativním smyslu buněčné množení. Všechny tyto aktivity proteinu PML jsou připisovány jeho funkcím v jádře buněk. Cytoplazmatická forma PML (cPML) je také velmi důležitá a má významnou roli v přenosu signálu transformačního růstového faktoru-β (TGF-β). Cytoplazmatický PML reaguje s dvěma receptory pro TGF-β (TβRI a TβRII) na povrchu buňky a tvoří můstek mezi proteinem SARA (Smad anchor of receptor activation) a proteiny Smad a je důležitý pro dopravu celého komplexu do raných endozómů v přenosu signálu TGF-β. Ztráta funkčního cPML vede nejen k APL, ale přispívá obecně k rezistenci buněk na TGF-β a vzniku nádorů.
Chromosome translocations are detected in 50-70 % of human leukaemia. The promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) gene is involved in the t(15;17) chromosomal translocation of acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). PML gene encodes a protein, which was shown to be concentrated in PML-nuclear bodies. Histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases, and chromatin-modifying proteins are accumulated in complexes with PML protein in these nuclear bodies giving the evidence of their role in transcription regulation. Physical interactions of PML protein with transcription factors, co-activators and co-repressors of transcription correspond with the role of PML in transcription regulation. PML plays an important role in apoptosis, proliferation and senescence of cells. PML gene is a tumour-suppressor gene and a product of its expression acts as a potent cell growth suppressor. All these activities of PML protein are ascribed to its nuclear functions. Cytoplasmic form of PML (cPML) is also very important and it is critical for transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signalling. Cytoplasmic PML interacts with two TGF-β receptors (TβRI and TβRII) and acts as a bridging factor between protein called Smad anchor of receptor activation (SARA) and Smad proteins and it plays a role in the transport of whole complex into the early endosomes in TGF-β signalling. The loss of functional cPML induces not only APL but it might influence behaviour of cancer cells and their resistance to TGF-β.

Many proteins are present in the nucleus; some are involved with its structural and functional organization, some with gene expression, and some with cell division. The plant nuclear proteome has not been well explored. Its characterization requires extraction methods which minimize both the artifactual alteration of the proteins and the extent of contamination with non-nuclear proteins. The conventional multi-step fractionation procedure is both laborious and prone to contamination. Here, we describe a single-step method based on flow sorting. The method allows the separation of G1, S and G2 phase nuclei and minimizes the risk of contamination by non-nuclear proteins. Preliminary results obtained using G1 phase cell nuclei from barley root tips indicate that flow sorting coupled with a protein/peptide separation and mass spectrometry will permit a comprehensive characterization of the plant nuclear proteome.
Specificity of membrane fusion in vesicular trafficking is dependent on proper subcellular distribution of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs). Although SNARE complexes are fairly promiscuous in vitro, substantial specificity is achieved in cells owing to the spatial segregation and shielding of SNARE motifs prior to association with cognate Q-SNAREs. In this study, we identified phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIα (PI4K2A) as a binding partner of vesicle-associated membrane protein 3 (VAMP3), a small R-SNARE involved in recycling and retrograde transport, and found that the two proteins co-reside on tubulo-vesicular endosomes. PI4K2A knockdown inhibited VAMP3 trafficking to perinuclear membranes and impaired the rate of VAMP3-mediated recycling of the transferrin receptor. Moreover, depletion of PI4K2A significantly decreased association of VAMP3 with its cognate Q-SNARE Vti1a. Although binding of VAMP3 to PI4K2A did not require kinase activity, acute depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) on endosomes significantly delayed VAMP3 trafficking. Modulation of SNARE function by phospholipids had previously been proposed based on in vitro studies, and our study provides mechanistic evidence in support of these claims by identifying PI4K2A and PtdIns4P as regulators of an R-SNARE in intact cells.

Reliable determination of protein complex composition or changes to protein levels in whole cells is challenging. Despite the multitude of methods now available for labeling, analysis, and the statistical processing of data, this large variety is of itself an issue: Which approach is most appropriate, where do you set cutoffs, and what is the most cost-effective strategy? One size does not fit all for such work, but some guidelines can help in terms of reducing cost, improving data quality, and ultimately advancing investigations. Here we describe two protocols and algorithms for facile sample preparation for mass spectrometric analysis, robust data processing, and considerations of how to interpret large proteomic datasets in a productive and robust manner.

In the plant nucleus, the majority of cellular DNA content is stored and maintained. This makes this highly specialized organelle the major coordinator of almost all essential processes in plant cells such as transcription, DNA replication, and repair. None of these biological pathways can be fully understood without a comprehensive characterization of nuclear proteins. Nevertheless, the interest of the proteomic community in the plant nuclear proteome has been very limited so far. This is probably due to the high integrity of plant cell, presence of many interfering metabolites, and considerable endogenous proteolytic activity which make the sample preparation problematic. Hereby, we describe a novel protocol for the high-throughput plant nuclear protein identification that combines a flow cytometric sorting of formaldehyde-fixed nuclei with protein and peptide separation and their subsequent LC-MS/MS analysis.

The major organelles of the endomembrane system were in place by the time of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) (~1.5 billion years ago). Their acquisitions were defining milestones during eukaryogenesis. Comparative cell biology and evolutionary analyses show multiple instances of homology in the protein machinery controlling distinct interorganelle trafficking routes. Resolving these homologous relationships allows us to explore processes underlying the emergence of additional, distinct cellular compartments, infer ancestral states predating LECA, and explore the process of eukaryogenesis itself. Here, we undertake a molecular evolutionary analysis (including providing a transcriptome of the jakobid flagellate Reclinomonas americana), exploring the origins of the machinery responsible for the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles (LROs), the Biogenesis of LRO Complexes (BLOCs 1,2, and 3). This pathway has been studied only in animals and is not considered a feature of the basic eukaryotic cell plan. We show that this machinery is present across the eukaryotic tree of life and was likely in place prior to LECA, making it an underappreciated facet of eukaryotic cellular organisation. Moreover, we resolve multiple points of ancient homology between all three BLOCs and other post-endosomal retrograde trafficking machinery (BORC, CCZ1 and MON1 proteins, and an unexpected relationship with the "homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting" (HOPS) and "Class C core vacuole/endosomal tethering" (CORVET) complexes), offering a mechanistic and evolutionary unification of these trafficking pathways. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive account of the rise of the LROs biogenesis machinery from before the LECA to current eukaryotic diversity, integrating it into the larger mechanistic framework describing endomembrane evolution.
