Mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes are involved in critical aspects of cellular growth and genomic stability. Each complex contains one of two highly homologous ATPases, BRG1 and BRM, yet little is known about their specialized functions. We show that BRG1and BRM associate with different promoters during cellular proliferation and differentiation, and in response to specific signaling pathways by preferential interaction with certain classes of transcription factors. BRG1 binds to zinc finger proteins through a unique N-terminal domain that is not present in BRM. BRM interacts with two ankyrin repeat proteins that are critical components of Notch signal transduction. Thus, BRG1 and BRM complexes may direct distinct cellular processes by recruitment to specific promoters through protein-protein interactions that are unique to each ATPase.

Na+,K(+)-ATPase is a ubiquitous plasmalemmal membrane protein essential for generation and maintenance of transmembrane Na+ and K+ gradients in virtually all animal cell types. Activity and polarized distribution of renal Na+,(+)-ATPase appears to depend on connection of ankyrin to the spectrin-based membrane cytoskeleton as well as on association with actin filaments. In a previous study we showed copurification and codistribution of renal Na+,K(+)-ATPase not only with ankyrin, spectrin and actin, but also with two further peripheral membrane proteins, pasin 1 and pasin 2. In this paper we show by sequence analysis through mass spectrometry as well as by immunoblotting that pasin 2 is identical to moesin, a member of the FERM (protein 4.1, ezrin, radixin, moesin) protein family, all members of which have been shown to serve as cytoskeletal adaptor molecules. Moreover, we show that recombinant full-length moesin as well as its FERM domain bind to Na+,K(+)-ATPase and that this binding can be inhibited by an antibody specific for the ATPase activity-containing cytoplasmic loop (domain 3) of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit. This loop has been previously shown to be a site essential for ankyrin binding. These observations indicate that moesin might not only serve as direct linker molecule of Na+,K(+)-ATPase to actin filaments but also modify ankyrin binding at domain 3 of Na+,K(+)-ATPase in a way similar to protein 4.1 modifying the binding of ankyrin to the cytoplasmic domain of the erythrocyte anion exchanger (AE1).

Gankyrin is an oncoprotein overexpressed in hepatocarcinoma cells that binds to the cell-cycle regulator CDK4 and the S6b ATPase subunit of the regulatory component of the proteasome. It belongs to the family of ankyrin-repeat proteins that appear to mediate protein-protein interactions in diverse biochemical processes. Gankyrin has been crystallized from polyethylene glycol solutions and diffraction data have been obtained from these crystals that extend to 2.1 A spacing.

Gankyrin is a 25-kDa hepatocellular carcinoma-associated protein that mediates protein-protein interactions in cell cycle control and protein degradation. It has been reported to form complexes with cyclin-dependent kinase 4, retinoblastoma protein, the S6b ATPase subunit of the 19 S regulator of the 26 S proteasome, and Mdm2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in p53 degradation. It is the first protein described to bind both to the 26 S proteasome and to proteins in other complexes containing cyclin-dependent kinase(s) and p53 ubiquitylating activities, thus providing a mechanism for delivering cell cycle regulating machinery and ubiquitylated substrates to the proteasome for degradation. Gankyrin contains a 33-residue motif known as the ankyrin repeat that occurs five and a half to six times in the sequence. As a step toward understanding gankyrin interactions with its protein partners we have determined its three-dimensional crystal structure to 2.0-A resolution. It reveals that the entire 226-residue gankyrin polypeptide folds into seven ankyrin repeat elements. The ankyrin repeats, consisting of an antiparallel beta-hairpin followed by a perpendicularly oriented helix-loop-helix, pack side-by-side, creating an extended curved structure with a groove running across the long concave surface. Comparison with the structures of other ankyrin repeat proteins suggests that interactions with partner proteins are mediated by residues situated on this concave surface.

Ankyrin-G polypeptides are required for restriction of voltage-gated sodium channels, L1 cell adhesion molecules, and beta IV spectrin to axon initial segments and are believed to couple the Na/K-ATPase to the spectrin-actin network at the lateral membrane in epithelial cells. We report here that depletion of 190-kDa ankyrin-G in human bronchial epithelial cells by small interfering RNA results in nearly complete loss of lateral plasma membrane in interphase cells, and also blocks de novo lateral membrane biogenesis following mitosis. Loss of the lateral membrane domain is accompanied by an expansion of apical and basal plasma membranes and preservation of apical-basal polarity. Expression of rat 190-kDa ankyrin-G, which is resistant to human small interfering RNA, prevents loss of the lateral membrane following depletion of human 190-kDa ankyrin-G. Human 220-kDa ankyrin-B, a closely related ankyrin isoform, is incapable of preserving the lateral membrane following 190-kDa ankyrin-G depletion. Moreover, analysis of rat 190-kDa ankyrin G/ankyrin B chimeras shows that all three domains of 190-kDa ankyrin-G are required for preservation of the lateral membrane. These results demonstrate that 190-kDa ankyrin-G plays a pleiotropic role in assembly of lateral membranes of bronchial epithelial cells.

Within the leaf of an angiosperm, the vascular system is constructed in a complex network pattern called venation. The formation of this vein pattern has been widely studied as a paradigm of tissue pattern formation in plants. To elucidate the molecular mechanism controlling the vein patterning process, we previously isolated Arabidopsis mutants van1 to van7, which show a discontinuous vein pattern. Here we report the phenotypic analysis of the van3 mutant in relation to auxin signaling and polar transport, and the molecular characterization of the VAN3 gene and protein. Double mutant analyses with pin1, emb30-7/gn and mp, and physiological analyses using the auxin-inducible marker DR5::GUS and an auxin transport inhibitor indicated that VAN3 may be involved in auxin signal transduction, but not in polar auxin transport. Positional cloning identified VAN3 as a gene that encodes an adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation factor-guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activating protein (ARF-GAP). It resembles animal ACAPs and contains four domains: a BAR (BIN/amphiphysin/RVS) domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, an ARF-GAP domain and an ankyrin (ANK)-repeat domain. Recombinant VAN3 protein showed GTPase-activating activity and a specific affinity for phosphatidylinositols. This protein can self-associate through the N-terminal BAR domain in the yeast two-hybrid system. Subcellular localization analysis by double staining for Venus-tagged VAN3 and several green-fluorescent-protein-tagged intracellular markers indicated that VAN3 is located in a subpopulation of the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Our results indicate that the expression of this gene is induced by auxin and positively regulated by VAN3 itself, and that a specific ACAP type of ARF-GAP functions in vein pattern formation by regulating auxin signaling via a TGN-mediated vesicle transport system.

Microvillar cells (MCs) have been identified in the olfactory epithelium of various mammalian species from rodents to humans. Studies on properties and functions of MCs to date have yielded partially controversial results, supporting alternatively an epithelial or a neuronal nature of these cells. In the present study, single and double immunolabeling investigations were carried out using antibodies against cytoskeletal and integral membrane proteins in order to further characterize MCs in rat and mouse olfactory epithelium. Application of antibodies against ankyrin (ANK), a protein that links integral membrane proteins to the submembrane cytoskeleton, led to intense labeling of the basolateral membranes of numerous cells with characteristic MC morphology. ANK-immunoreactive (ir) cells bore an apical tuft of beta-actin-ir microvilli, were filled with cytokeratin 18 (CK18)-ir filamentous network, and extended a basal process that appeared to end above the basal membrane. Immunoreactions for villin, an actin-crosslinking protein particularly prominently expressed in brush cells in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract epithelia, and for the alpha-subunit of sodium-potassium ATPase (Na(+), K(+)-ATPase), revealed that ANK-ir MCs fall into two subpopulations. The less frequent type I MCs displayed villin immunoreactivity in their apical microvilli and underneath the basolateral membranes; the more numerous type II MCs were negative for villin but possessed intense basolateral immunoreactivity for Na(+), K(+)-ATPase. Strong reactivity for the epithelial-type integral membrane protein of adherens junctions, E-Cadherin, was localized in basolateral membranes of both types of MCs. Our results support an epithelial nature of ANK-ir MCs in rat and mouse olfactory epithelium. Type I MCs strongly resemble brush cells in their immunocytochemical characteristics, namely, their ANK reactivity, CK18 reactivity, and villin reactivity. The intense Na(+), K(+)-ATPase reactivity of type II MCs implicates these cells in transport processes.

Gankyrin is an ankyrin repeat oncoprotein commonly overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinomas. Gankyrin interacts with the S6 proteasomal ATPase and accelerates the degradation of the tumor suppressor Rb. We show here that gankyrin has an antiapoptotic activity in cells exposed to DNA damaging agents. Downregulation of gankyrin induces apoptosis in cells with wild-type p53. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that gankyrin binds to Mdm2, facilitating p53-Mdm2 binding, and increases ubiquitylation and degradation of p53. Gankyrin also enhances Mdm2 autoubiquitylation in the absence of p53. Downregulation of gankyrin reduced amounts of Mdm2 and p53 associated with the 26S proteasome. Thus, gankyrin is a cofactor that increases the activities of Mdm2 on p53 and probably targets polyubiquitylated p53 into the 26S proteasome.

Na+ overload and secondary Ca2+ influx via Na+/Ca2+ exchanger are key mechanisms in cardiomyocyte contracture and necrosis during reperfusion. Impaired Na+/K+-ATPase activity contributes to Na+ overload, but the mechanism has not been established. Because Na+/K+-ATPase is connected to the cytoskeleton protein fodrin through ankyrin, which are substrates of calpains, we tested the hypothesis that calpain mediates Na+/K+-ATPase impairment in reperfused cardiomyocytes. In isolated rat hearts reperfused for 5 minutes after 60 minutes of ischemia, Na+/K+-ATPase activity was reduced by 80%, in parallel with loss of alpha-fodrin and ankyrin-B and detachment of alpha1 and alpha2 subunits of Na+/K+-ATPase from the membrane-cytoskeleton complex. Calpain inhibition with MDL-7943 during reperfusion prevented the loss of these proteins, increased Na+/K+-ATPase activity, attenuated lactate dehydrogenase release, and improved contractile recovery, and these beneficial effects of MDL-7943 were reverted by ouabain. The impairment of Na+/K+-ATPase was not a mere consequence of cell death because it was not altered in hearts in which contracture and cell death had been prevented by contractile blockade with 2,3-butanedione monoxime. In these hearts, concomitant calpain inhibition preserved Na+/K+-ATPase content and function and attenuated cell death occurring on withdrawal of 2,3-butanedione monoxime. In vitro assay showed no detectable degradation of Na+/K+-ATPase subunits after 10 minutes of incubation with activated calpain. Thus, we conclude that calpain activation contributes to the impairment of Na+/K+-ATPase during early reperfusion and that this effect is mainly mediated by degradation of the anchorage of Na+/K+-ATPase to the membrane cytoskeleton.

Small ankyrin 1, or sAnk1, is a small, alternatively spliced product of the erythroid ankyrin gene, ANK1, that is expressed in striated muscle and concentrated in the network sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) surrounding the Z disks and M lines. We have characterized sAnk1 in muscle homogenates and SR vesicles, and have identified the region that targets it to the network SR. Selective extractions and partitioning into Triton X-114 show that sAnk1 behaves like the SR Ca-ATPase and so is an integral protein of the SR membrane. Mild proteolytic treatment of isolated SR vesicles indicates that sAnk1 is oriented with its hydrophilic, C-terminal sequence exposed to the solution, which is equivalent to the cytoplasmic face of the SR membrane in situ. SDS-PAGE in non-reducing gels suggests that sAnk1 is present as dimers and larger oligomers in the native SR. These results suggest that sAnk1 is oligomeric and oriented with its C-terminus exposed to the cytoplasm, where it may interact with proteins of the contractile apparatus. The N-terminal 29 amino acid hydrophobic sequence of sAnk1, which is predicted to span the SR membrane, is sufficient to target proteins to and anchor them in internal membranes of HEK 293 cells. It also targets reporter proteins to the network SR of skeletal myofibers and is thus the first example of a sequence that targets proteins to a particular compartment of the SR.
