The RGD tripeptide sequence, a cell adhesion motif present in several extracellular matrix proteins of mammalians, is involved in numerous plant processes. In plant-pathogen interactions, the RGD motif is believed to reduce plant defence responses by disrupting adhesions between the cell wall and plasma membrane. Photoaffinity cross-linking of [125I]-azido-RGD heptapeptide in the presence of purified plasma membrane vesicles of Arabidopsis thaliana led to label incorporation into a single protein with an apparent molecular mass of 80 kDa. Incorporation could be prevented by excess RGD peptides, but also by the IPI-O protein, an RGD-containing protein secreted by the oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Hydrophobic cluster analysis revealed that the RGD motif of IPI-O (positions 53–56) is readily accessible for interactions. Single amino acid mutations in the RGD motif in IPI-O (of Asp56 into Glu or Ala) resulted in the loss of protection of the 80-kDa protein from labelling. Thus, the interaction between the two proteins is mediated through RGD recognition and the 80-kDa RGD-binding protein has the characteristics of a receptor for IPI-O. The IPI-O protein also disrupted cell wall-plasma membrane adhesions in plasmolysed A. thaliana cells, whereas IPI-O proteins mutated in the RGD motif (D56A and D56E) did not.Received 23 October 2003; received after revision 5 December 2003; accepted 12 December 2003 相似文献

CFTR biogenesis starts with its co-translational insertion into the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum and folding of the cytosolic domains, towards the acquisition of a fully folded compact native structure. Efficiency of this process is assessed by the ER quality control system that allows the exit of folded proteins but targets unfolded/misfolded CFTR to degradation. If allowed to leave the ER, CFTR is modified at the Golgi and reaches the post-Golgi compartments to be delivered to the plasma membrane where it functions as a cAMP- and phosphorylation-regulated chloride/bicarbonate channel. CFTR residence at the membrane is a balance of membrane delivery, endocytosis, and recycling. Several adaptors, motor, and scaffold proteins contribute to the regulation of CFTR stability and are involved in continuously assessing its structure through peripheral quality control systems. Regulation of CFTR biogenesis and traffic (and its dysregulation by mutations, such as the most common F508del) determine its overall activity and thus contribute to the fine modulation of chloride secretion and hydration of epithelial surfaces. This review covers old and recent knowledge on CFTR folding and trafficking from its synthesis to the regulation of its stability at the plasma membrane and highlights how several of these steps can be modulated to promote the rescue of mutant CFTR. 相似文献

This review presents plant-specific characteristics of the Golgi apparatus and discusses their impact on retention of membrane proteins in the Golgi or the trans-Golgi network (TGN). The plant Golgi consists of distinct stacks of cisternae that actively move throughout the cytoplasm. The Golgi apparatus is a very dynamic compartment and the site for maturation of N-linked glycans. It is also a factory for complex carbohydrates that are part of the cell wall. The TGN is believed to be the site from where vacuolar proteins are sorted by receptors towards each type of vacuole. To maintain the structure and specific features of the Golgi, resident proteins ought to be maintained in the proper Golgi cisternae or in the TGN. Two families of membrane proteins will be taken as examples for Golgi/TGN retention: (i) the enzymes involved in N-glycosylation processes and (ii) a vacuolar sorting receptor. Although the number of available plant proteins localized in Golgi/TGN is low, the basis of retention appears to be shared over all kingdoms and may result from pure retention and recycling mechanisms. In this review, we will summarize the characteristics of a plant Golgi and will discuss especially their consequences on on the study of this highly dynamic structure. We then choose membrane proteins with a single transmembrane domain to illustrate the signals and mechanisms involved in plants to localize and maintain proteins in the Golgi and the TGN. 相似文献

The native form of cellulose is a fibrillar composite of two crystalline phases, the triclinic Iα and monoclinic Iβ allomorphs. Allomorph ratios are species-specific, and this gives rise to natural structural variations in cellulose crystals.
However, the mechanisms contributing to crystal formation remain unknown. We show that the two crystalline phases of cellulose
are tailored to distinct structures during different developmental stages of the tunicate chordate Oikopleura dioica. Larval cellulose consisting of Iα allomorph constitutes the body cuticle fin, whereas adult cellulose consisting of Iβ allomorph frames a mucous filter-feeding device, the “house.” Both structures are secreted from the epidermis in accordance
with the mutually exclusive expression patterns of two distinct putative cellulose synthase genes. We discuss a possible linkage
between structural variations of the crystalline phases of cellulose and the underlying evolutionary genetics of cellulose
biosynthesis. 相似文献

Heat-shock protein 60 (Hsp60) is a highly conserved stress protein which has chaperone functions in prokaryotes and mammalian
cells. Hsp60 is associated with the mitochondria and the plasma membrane through phosphorylation by protein kinase A, and
is incorporated into lipid membranes as a protein-folding chaperone. Its diverse intracellular chaperone functions include
the secretion of proteins where it maintains the conformation of precursors and facilitates their translocation through the
plasma membrane. We report here that Hsp60 is concentrated in apoptotic membrane blebs and translocates to the surface of
cells undergoing apoptosis. Hsp60 is also enriched in platelets derived from terminally differentiated megakaryocytes and
expressed at the surface of senescent platelets. Furthermore, the exposure of monocytic U937 cells to Hsp60 enhanced their
phagocytic activity. Our results suggests that externalized Hsp60 in apoptotic cells and senescent platelets influences events
subsequent to apoptosis, such as the clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytes. 相似文献

Plasma membrane forms the barrier between the cytoplasm and the environment. Cells constantly and selectively transport molecules across their plasma membrane without disrupting it. Any disruption in the plasma membrane compromises its selective permeability and is lethal, if not rapidly repaired. There is a growing understanding of the organelles, proteins, lipids, and small molecules that help cells signal and efficiently coordinate plasma membrane repair. This review aims to summarize how these subcellular responses are coordinated and how cellular signals generated due to plasma membrane injury interact with each other to spatially and temporally coordinate repair. With the involvement of calcium and redox signaling in single cell and tissue repair, we will discuss how these and other related signals extend from single cell repair to tissue level repair. These signals link repair processes that are activated immediately after plasma membrane injury with longer term processes regulating repair and regeneration of the damaged tissue. We propose that investigating cell and tissue repair as part of a continuum of wound repair mechanisms would be of value in treating degenerative diseases. 相似文献

Are elicitins cryptograms in plant-Oomycete communications? 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Ponchet M Panabières F Milat M-L Mikes V Montillet JL Suty L Triantaphylides C Tirilly Y Blein JP 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》1999,56(11-12):1020-1047
Stimulation of plant natural defenses is an important challenge in phytoprotection prospects. In that context, elicitins, which are small proteins secreted by Phytophthora and Pythium species, have been shown to induce a hypersensitive-like reaction in tobacco plants. Moreover, these plants become resistant to their pathogens, and thus this interaction constitutes an excellent model to investigate the signaling pathways leading to plant resistance. However, most plants are not reactive to elicitins, although they possess the functional signaling pathways involved in tobacco responses to elicitin. The understanding of factors involved in this reactivity is needed to develop agronomic applications. In this review, it is proposed that elicitins could interact with regulating cell wall proteins before they reach the plasma membrane. Consequently, the plant reactivity or nonreactivity status could result from the equilibrium reached during this interaction. The possibility of overexpressing the elicitins directly from genomic DNA in Pichia pastoris allows site-directed mutagenesis experiments and structure/function studies. The recent discovery of the sterol carrier activity of elicitins brings a new insight on their molecular activity. This constitutes a crucial property, since the formation of a sterol-elicitin complex is required to trigger the biological responses of tobacco cells and plants. Only the elicitins loaded with a sterol are able to bind to their plasmalemma receptor, which is assumed to be an allosteric calcium channel. Moreover, Phytophthora and Pythium do not synthesize the sterols required for their growth and their fructification, and elicitins may act as shuttles trapping the sterols from the host plants. Sequence analysis of elicitin genes from several Phytophthora species sheds unexpected light on the phylogenetic relationships among the genus, and suggests that the expression of elicitins is under tight regulatory control. Finally, general involvement of these lipid transfer proteins in the biology of Pythiaceae, and in plant defense responses, is discussed. A possible scheme for the coevolution between Phytophthora and tobacco plants is approached. 相似文献

Trimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) function as the key regulatory elements in a number of transmembrane
signaling cascades where they convey information from agonist-activated receptors to effector molecules. The subcellular localization
of G proteins is directly related to their functional role, i.e., the dominant portion of the cellular pool of G proteins
resides in the plasma membrane. An intimate association of G protein subunits with the plasma membrane has been well known
for a long time. However, results of a number of independent studies published in the past decade have indicated clearly that
exposure of intact target cells to agonists results in subcellular redistribution of the cognate G proteins from plasma membranes
to the light-vesicular membrane fractions, in internalization from the cell surface into the cell interior and in transfer
from the membrane to the soluble cell fraction (high-speed supernatant), i.e., solubilization. Solubilization of G protein
α subunits as a consequence of stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with agonists has also been observed in
isolated membrane preparations. The membrane-cytosol shift of G proteins was detected even after direct activation of these
proteins by non-hydrolyzable analogues of GTP or by cholera toxin-induced ADP-ribosylation. In addition, prolonged stimulation
of GPCRs with agonists has been shown to lead to down-regulation of the relevant G proteins. Together, these data suggest
that G proteins might potentially participate in a highly complex set of events, which are generally termed desensitization
of the hormone response. Internalization, subcellular redistribution, solubilization, and down-regulation of trimeric G proteins
may thus provide an additional means (i.e., beside receptor-based mechanisms) to dampen the hormone or neurotransmitter response
after sustained (long-term) exposure.

The prokaryotic pore-forming proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm, and are assembled in their functional form in the outer membrane. They begin to traverse the cytoplasmic membrane via the SecY/SecA export pathway, which is shared also by periplasmic proteins. The sorting signals that direct these proteins to the outer membrane could be present in the three-dimensional conformations of the proteins, but some results suggest that they may be present in short, contiguous sequences. Outer membrane proteins share a rather hydrophilic amino acid composition, and appear to be rich in beta-sheets (with the exception of lipoproteins). This observation as well as the demonstration of periplasmic export intermediates favor the secretion pathway through the periplasm, as opposed to export through fusion sites between the inner and the outer membrane, but such intermediates have not yet been observed with the wild type proteins under physiological conditions. 相似文献

Voltage-gated calcium channels are important mediators of calcium influx into electrically excitable cells. The amount of
calcium entering through this family of channel proteins is not only determined by the functional properties of channels embedded
in the plasma membrane but also by the numbers of channels that are expressed at the cell surface. The trafficking of channels
is controlled by numerous processes, including co-assembly with ancillary calcium channel subunits, ubiquitin ligases, and
interactions with other membrane proteins such as G protein coupled receptors. Here we provide an overview about the current
state of knowledge of calcium channel trafficking to the cell membrane, and of the mechanisms regulating the stability and
internalization of this important ion channel family. 相似文献

To characterize low-copy integral membrane proteins and offer some methods for human liver proteome projects, we fractionated
highly purified rat liver plasma membrane (PM). PM was purified through two sucrose density gradient centrifugations, and
treated with 0.1 M Na2CO3, chloroform/methanol and Triton X-100. Proteins were separated by electrophoresis and submitted to mass spectrometry analysis.
Four hundred and fiftyseven non-redundant membrane proteins were identified, of which 23% (105) were integral membrane proteins
with one or more transmembrane domains. One hundred and fifty-three (33.5%) had no location annotation and 68 were unknown-function
proteins. The proteins from different fractions were complementory. A database search for all identified proteins revealed
that 53 proteins were involved in the cell communication pathway. More interestingly, more than 50% of the proteins had a
protein abundance index concentration of less than 0.1 mol/l, and 12% proteins a concentration 100 times less than that of
arginase 1 and actin.

Retroviral assembly proceeds through a series of concerted events that lead to the formation and release of infectious virion particles from the infected cell. Upon translation, structural proteins are targeted to the plasma membrane where they accumulate. There, the nascent particle forces the plasma membrane to form a bud, which pinches off releasing the virion particle from the cell. In this review we describe the molecular mechanisms now known to be behind the process of virion assembly. In particular, we focus on the human immunodeficiency virus type 1, the prototype member of the lentivirus subfamily of the Retroviridae. 相似文献

Tetraspanins regulate a variety of cellular functions. However, the general cellular mechanisms by which tetraspanins regulate these functions remain poorly understood. In this article we collected the observations that tetraspanins regulate the formation and/or development of various tubular structures of cell membrane. Because tetraspanins and their associated proteins (1) are localized at the tubular structures, such as the microvilli, adhesion zipper, foot processes, and penetration peg, and/or (2) regulate the morphogenesis of these membrane tubular structures, tetraspanins probably modulate various cellular functions through these membrane tubular structures. Some tetraspanins inhibit membrane tubule formation and/or extension, while others promote them. We predict that tetraspanins regulate the formation and/or development of various membrane tubular structures: (1) microvilli or nanovilli at the plasma membranes free of cell and matrix contacts, (2) membrane tubules at the plasma membrane of cell-matrix and cell-cell interfaces, and (3) membrane tubules at the intracellular membrane compartments. These different membrane tubular structures likely share a common morphogenetic mechanism that involves tetraspanins. Tetraspanins probably regulate the morphogenesis of membrane tubular structures by altering (1) the biophysical properties of the cell membrane such as curvature and/or (2) the membrane connections of cytoskeleton. Since membrane tubular structures are associated with cell functions such as adhesion, migration, and intercellular communication, in all of which tetraspanins are involved, the differential effects of tetraspanins on membrane tubular structures likely lead to the functional difference of tetraspanins. 相似文献

Dictyostelium discoideum cells produce five dynamin family proteins. Here, we show that dynamin B is the only member of this group of proteins that
is initially produced as a preprotein and requires processing by mitochondrial proteases for formation of the mature protein.
Our results show that dynamin B-depletion affects many aspects of cell motility, cell-cell and cell-surface adhesion, resistance
to osmotic shock, and fatty acid metabolism. The mature form of dynamin B mediates a wide range and unique combination of
functions. Dynamin B affects events at the plasma membrane, peroxisomes, the contractile vacuole system, components of the
actin-based cytoskeleton, and cell adhesion sites. The modulating effect of dynamin B on the activity of the contractile vacuole
system is unique for the Dictyostelium system. Other functions displayed by dynamin B are commonly associated with either classical dynamins or dynamin-related
proteins. 相似文献

Chs5p is a component of the exomer, a coat complex required to transport the chitin synthase Chs3p from the trans-Golgi network
to the plasma membrane. The Chs5p N-terminal region exhibits fibronectin type III (FN3) and BRCT domains. FN3 domains are
present in proteins that mediate adhesion processes, whereas BRCT domains are involved in DNA repair. Several fungi—including
Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which has no detectable amounts of chitin—have proteins similar to Chs5p. Here we show that the FN3 and BRCT motifs in Chs5p
behave as a module that is necessary and sufficient for Chs5p localization and for cargo delivery. The N-terminal regions
of S. cerevisiae Chs5p and S. pombe Cfr1p are interchangeable in terms of Golgi localization, but not in terms of exomer assembly, showing that the conserved
function of this module is protein retention in this organelle and that the interaction between the exomer components is organism-specific. 相似文献

The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells lining vessel walls, maintains tissue-fluid homeostasis by restricting the passage of the plasma proteins and blood cells into the interstitium. The ion Ca2+, a ubiquitous secondary messenger, initiates signal transduction events in endothelial cells that is critical to control of vascular tone and endothelial permeability. The ion Ca2+ is stored inside the intracellular organelles and released into the cytosol in response to environmental cues. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) messenger facilitates Ca2+ release through IP3 receptors which are Ca2+-selective intracellular channels located within the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Binding of IP3 to the IP3Rs initiates assembly of IP3R clusters, a key event responsible for amplification of Ca2+ signals in endothelial cells. This review discusses emerging concepts related to architecture and dynamics of IP3R clusters, and their specific role in propagation of Ca2+ signals in endothelial cells. 相似文献

Numerous proteins in pro-and eukaryotes must cross cellular membranes in order to reach their site of function. Many of these proteins carry signal sequences that are removed by specific signal peptidases during, or shortly after, membrane transport. Signal peptidases have been identified in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the matrix and inner membrane of mitochondria, the stroma and thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, the bacterial plasma membrane and the thylakoid membrane of cyanobacteria. The composition of these peptidases varies between one and several subunits. No site-specific inhibitors are known for the majority of these enzymes. Accordingly, signal peptidases recognize structural motifs rather than linear amino acid sequences. Such motifs have become evident by employing extensive site-directed mutagenesis to investigate the anatomy of signal sequences. Analysis of the reaction specificities and the primary sequences of several signal peptidases suggests that the enzymes of the endoplasmic reticulum, the inner mitochondrial membrane and the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts all have evolved from bacterial progenitors. 相似文献

Lipid transfer in plants 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Summary Plant cells contain cytosolic proteins, called lipid transfer proteins (LTP), which are able to facilitate in vitro intermembrane transfer of phospholipids. Proteins of this kind from three plants, purified to homogeneity, have several properties in common: molecular mass around 9 kDa, high isoelectric point, lack of specificity for phospholipids, and binding ability for fatty acids. The comparison of their amino acid sequences revealed striking homologies and conserved domains which are probably involved in their function as LTPs. These proteins could play a major role in membrane biogenesis by conveying phospholipids from their site of biosynthesis to membranes unable to form these lipids. Immunochemical methods were used to establish an in vivo correlation between membrane biogenesis and the level of LTP or the amount of LTP synthesized in vitro from mRNAs. The recent isolation of a full-length cDNA allows novel approaches to studying the participation of LTPs in the biogenesis of plant cell membranes. 相似文献
