Twenty-one putative chromosome 7-derived expressed sequence tags (ESTs) identified 33 yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) or P1 clones, which were then used as reagents for physical mapping. FISH mapping established that the ESTs contained within these clones were distributed throughout chromosome 7, with all major cytogenetic bands represented, except 7p13-p15, 7p11, 7q31.2, and 7q35. Each EST sequence identified at least one other sequence in publicly available databases (using search tools such as BLASTN, basic local alignment search tool), and many of the ESTs identified cDNAs and several genomic DNA sequences. However, 7 ESTs did not identify highly significant matches (P < 1 x 10(-5)). Only one (EST01924-D7S2281E) failed to identify any other EST from the dbEST homology searches. BLAST analysis identified at least five genes from EST sequence comparisons: protein tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTPRZ, also known as RPTPZ) (EST02092), which we had mapped to 7q31.3, in agreement with previous studies; cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory subunit bI (EST01644); rat integral membrane glycoprotein (EST00085); human IFNAR gene for interferon alpha/beta receptor (EST00817); and rat 14-3.3 protein gamma subtype (putative protein kinase C regulatory protein) (EST00762). These ESTs will help to develop the map of chromosome 7, which integrates physical, transcriptional, and cytogenetic data, as well as to provide candidate disease genes for chromosome 7-specific disorders.

pp120, a plasma membrane glycoprotein, is phosphorylated on Tyr488 by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. This requires basal phosphorylation on Ser503 by cAMP-dependent serine kinase. Phe513, the other tyrosine residue in the intracellular domain, does not undergo insulin-stimulated phosphorylation. Phe488 mutation abolished basal and insulin-stimulated phosphorylation, whereas, Phe513 plus Phe488 mutation markedly decreased the effect of insulin on pp120 phosphorylation without altering basal phosphorylation in intact cells. To investigate whether basal phosphorylation of pp120 is regulated by a phosphatase activity that requires Tyr513, in vitro phosphorylation assays using partially purified glycoproteins from stably transfected NIH 3T3 cells were performed in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors. Wild-type pp120 was promptly dephosphorylated, whereas, Y513F pp120 was not. Decreasing pp120 expression by antisense cDNA transfection proportionally decreased phosphatase activity in H4-II-E hepatoma cells measured by the p-nitrophenyl phosphate assay. This suggests that pp120 is associated with phosphatase activity that requires an intact Tyr513 residue.

pp120, a substrate of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, is a plasma membrane glycoprotein in the hepatocyte. It is expressed as two spliced isoforms differing by the presence (full length) or absence (truncated) of most of the intracellular domain including all phosphorylation sites. Because the two isoforms differ by their ability to regulate receptor-mediated insulin endocytosis and degradation, we aimed to investigate the cellular basis for this functional difference by comparing their intracellular trafficking. During its intracellular assembly, pp120 is transported from the trans-Golgi network to the sinusoidal domain of the plasma membrane before its final transcytosis to the bile canalicular domain. Because both isoforms are expressed in hepatocytes, we examined their intracellular trafficking in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts individually transfected with each isoform. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that most of the newly synthesized full-length isoform reached complete maturation at about 60 min of chase. By contrast, only about 40% of the newly synthesized truncated isoform underwent complete maturation, even at more prolonged chase. Moreover, a significant portion of the truncated isoform appeared to be targeted to lysosomes. Abolishing basal phosphorylation on Ser(503) by cAMP-dependent serine kinase by mutating this residue to alanine was correlated with incomplete maturation of full length pp120 in NIH 3T3 cells and hepatocytes. This finding suggests that the intracellular domain of pp120 contains information that regulates its vectorial sorting from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane.

We have investigated the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in von Willebrand factor (VWF)-dependent platelet activation. The interaction of platelets with subendothelial VWF, especially under high shear stress, is considered to be the first activation step which primes platelets for subsequent haemostatic events. As a model of VWF-dependent platelet activation, porcine VWF was employed. Porcine VWF induced p38 MAPK activation by 1 min post-addition; assessed by phosphorylation of a recombinant p38 MAPK fusion protein substrate termed glutathione S-transferase-MAPK activated protein kinase-2. To determine if p38 MAPK was necessary for porcine VWF-induced platelet activation, we functionally inhibited p38 MAPK activity with SB203580 before exposure of the platelets to porcine VWF. Inhibition of p38 MAPK had no effect on VWF-induced platelet alpha or lysozomal granule release, expression of activated GPIIb IIIa, modulation of membrane glycoprotein CD41, expression of phosphatidylserine as assessed by annexin V binding, microparticle formation, or platelet agglutination. It was concluded that SB203580-inhibitable p38 MAPK activity induced by porcine VWF is not necessary for platelet activation.

A20 IIA1.6 B cells cotransfected with FcalphaR and wild-type gamma-chain (wt-ITAM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif)) or FcalphaR and gamma-chain, in which the wt-ITAM was substituted with the FcgammaRIIA ITAM (IIA-ITAM), were used to investigate cell signaling events influencing presentation of FcalphaR-targeted exogenous Ag in the context of MHC class II. wt-ITAM cells presented FcalphaR-targeted OVA more efficiently than IIA-ITAM transfectants to OVA-specific T cell hybridomas. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibition abrogated Ag presentation, suggesting that FcalphaR may trigger a PI 3-kinase-dependent signal transduction pathway, and thus phosphatidylinositol-dependent protein kinase (PDK1) and protein kinase B alpha (PKBalpha) activation. Cross-linking FcalphaR on wt-ITAM or IIA-ITAM cells triggered equivalent PI 3-kinase-dependent activation of PKBalpha. Furthermore, FcalphaR cross-linking triggered recruitment of PDK1 and serine-phosphorylated PKBalpha to capped cell surface FcalphaR irrespective of the gamma-chain ITAM. Although FcalphaR endocytosis was accompanied by translocation of PDK1 and phospho-PKBalpha to FcalphaR-containing vesicles in both transfectants, this was decreased in IIA-ITAM cells, and a significant proportion of PDK1 and PKBalpha remained at the plasma membrane. In wt-ITAM cells, PDK1 and serine-phosphorylated PKBalpha translocated to lysosomal-associated membrane glycoprotein 1- and cathepsin B-containing vesicles, consistent with MHC class II peptide-loading compartments (MIIC) described by other groups. Our data indicate that translocation of signal transduction mediators to MIIC-like compartments accompanies efficient presentation of receptor-targeted Ag, and suggest a mechanism connecting signaling to the Ag-processing pathway.

Transport vesicles or containers (TCs) mediate constitutive protein transport between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the plasma membrane. A key question is the nature and regulation of these transport containers or intermediates. We have used a trans-Golgi network resident, TGN38, to investigate TC formation. TGN38 is a recycling membrane glycoprotein that moves to the cell surface via constitutive membrane traffic and returns via the endosomal pathway. An in vitro assay to measure TC formation was devised using rat liver Golgi membranes, cytosolic factors and ATP. Transport intermediates containing TGN38 were produced and found to be smooth vesicles and tubules of up to 200 nm in length. These membrane-enclosed structures contain different constitutively secreted membrane glycoproteins, including molecules involved in immune functions such as MHC Class I and the polymeric Ig receptor, showing that these intermediates correspond to TCs that have been previously identified in vivo. Importantly, TC formation can be stimulated or inhibited by protein kinase and phosphatase inhibitors, showing regulation by intracellular signalling pathways.

The rat ileal sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (Asbt) is a polytopic membrane glycoprotein, which is specifically expressed on the apical domain of the ileal brush-border membrane. In the present study, an essential 14-amino acid (aa 335-348) sorting signal was defined on the cytoplasmic tail of Asbt with two potential phosphorylation sites motifs for casein kinase II ((335)SFQE) and protein kinase C (PKC) ((339)TNK). Two-dimension NMR spectra analysis demonstrated that a tetramer, (340)NKGF, which overlaps with the potential PKC site within the 14-mer signal sequence, adopts a type I beta-turn conformation. Replacement of the potential phosphorylation residue Ser(335) and Thr(339) with alanine or deletion of either the 4 ((335)SFQE) or 10 aa (338-348, containing (339)TNKGF) from the C terminus of Asbt resulted in a significantly decreased initial bile acid transport activity and increased the basolateral distribution of the mutants by 2-3-fold compared with that of wild type Asbt. Deletion of the entire last 14 amino acids (335-348) from the C terminus of Asbt abolished the apical expression of the truncated Asbt. Moreover, replacement of the cytoplasmic tail of the liver basolateral membrane protein, Na(+)/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, with the 14-mer peptide tail of Asbt redirected the chimera to the apical domain. In contrast, a chimera consisting of the 14-mer peptide of Asbt fused with green fluorescent protein was expressed in an intracellular transport vesicle-like distribution in transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney and COS 7 cells. This suggests that the apical localization of the 14-mer peptide requires a membrane anchor to support proper targeting. The results from biological reagent treatment and low temperature shift (20 degrees C) suggests that Asbt follows a transport vesicle-mediated apical sorting pathway that is brefeldin A-sensitive and insensitive to protein glycosylation, monensin treatment, and low temperature shift.

The Niemann-Pick C-1 (NPC-1) gene codes for an intracellular membrane glycoprotein that processes low density lipoprotein (LDL)-imported cholesterol. Its absence is characterized by pathologic accumulation of cholesterol in endosomes and lysosomes. Niemann-Pick C-1 is involved in steroidogenesis in the adrenal, ovary, testis, and placenta. We investigated adrenal morphology of the BALB/c NPC-1(-/-) mutant mouse. Adrenals of mutant and wild type mice were similar at three weeks, but were substantially smaller in NPC-1(-/-) mice at eight weeks. The major histological difference was reduction in the thickness of the zona fasciculata, due to decreased cell volume. Lipid accumulation, revealed by Oil Red-O staining, was restricted to the zona fasciculata in wild type mice, but was found throughout the cortex in NPC-1 mutants. The 5'-flanking region of the mouse NPC-1 gene was cloned and sequenced. Comparison of the proximal promoter region revealed a CpG island and two consensus sequences for the cAMP response element (CRE). The role of the PKA pathway in transactivation of the NPC-1 promoter was probed by transient transfection of a 2.2 kb fragment of the 5'-flanking region fused to the luciferase reporter into mouse adrenal Y-1 and Leydig tumor cells and into nonsteroidogenic monkey kidney CV-1 cells. This promoter fragment displayed significant constitutive transcription, which was enhanced 3-5 fold in steroidogenic cells by treatment with 1 mM cAMP. The cAMP response was muted in CV-1 cells. We conclude that the NPC-1 gene is regulated by cAMP. It plays a role in normal cholesterol homeostasis and is essential for normal adrenal development and function.

Apactin is an 80-kDa type I membrane glycoprotein derived from pro-Muclin, a precursor that also gives rise to the zymogen granule protein Muclin. Previous work showed that apactin is efficiently removed from the regulated secretory pathway and targeted to the actin-rich apical plasma membrane of the pancreatic acinar cell. The cytosolic tail (C-Tail) of apactin consists of 16 amino acids, has Thr casein kinase II and Ser protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, and a C-terminal PDZ-binding domain. Secretory stimulation of acinar cells causes a decrease in Thr phosphorylation and an increase in Ser phosphorylation of apactin. Fusion peptides of the C-Tail domain pulldown actin, ezrin, and EBP50/NHERF in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. HIV TAT-C-Tail fusion peptides were used as dominant negative constructs on living pancreatic cells to study effects on the actin cytoskeleton. During secretory stimulation, TAT-C-Tail-Thr/Asp phosphomimetic peptide caused an increase in actin-coated zymogen granules at the apical surface, while TAT-C-Tail-S/D phosphomimetic peptide caused a broadening of the actin cytoskeleton. These data indicate that stimulation-mediated Thr dephosphorylation allows decreased association of apactin with EBP50/NHERF and fosters actin remodeling to coat zymogen granules. Stimulation-mediated Ser phosphorylation increases apactin association with the actin cytoskeleton, maintaining tight bundling of actin microfilaments at the apical surface. Thus, apactin is involved in remodeling the apical cytoskeleton during regulated exocytosis in a manner controlled by phosphorylation of the apactin C-Tail.

Inflammatory mediators have been implicated as a cause of reversible myocardial depression in septic shock. We previously reported that the release of lysozyme-c (Lmz-S) from leukocytes from the spleen or other organs contributes to myocardial dysfunction in Escherichia coli septic shock in dogs by binding to a cardiac membrane glycoprotein. However, the mechanism by which Lzm-S causes this depression has not been elucidated. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the binding of Lzm-S to a membrane glycoprotein causes myocardial depression by the formation of nitric oxide (NO). NO generation then activates soluble guanylyl cyclase and increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which in turn triggers contractile impairment via activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). We examined these possibilities in a right ventricular trabecular preparation in which isometric contraction was used to measure cardiac contractility. We found that Lzm-S's depressant effect could be prevented by the non-specific NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA). A guanylyl cyclase inhibitor (ODQ) and a PKG inhibitor (Rp-8-Br-cGMP) also attenuated Lzm-S's depressant effect as did chemical denudation of the endocardial endothelium (EE) with Triton X-100 (0.5%). In EE tissue, we further showed that Lzm-S caused NO release with use of 4,5 diaminofluorescein, a fluorescent dye that binds to NO. The present study shows that the binding of Lzm-S to EE generates NO, and that NO then activates the myocardial guanosine 3',5' monophosphate pathway leading to cardiac depression in sepsis.
