Physiological concentrations of retinoic acid can block the activation of human erythrocyte Ca(2+)-ATPase in vitro by thyroid hormone [Smith, Davis & Davis (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 687-689]. The present studies were undertaken to ascertain the nature of this blockade. Two binding sites for L-thyroxine (T4) were demonstrated on washed erythrocyte membranes; the high-affinity site had a Kd value of 2.7 x 10(-10)M and a Bmax. of 76 fmol/mg of protein. The lower-affinity site possessed a Kd of 1 x 10(-8) M. Retinoic acid was as potent a displacer of radiolabelled T4 as was the unlabelled hormone. Certain retinoic acid analogues with either ring or fatty acid side chain modifications retained some ability to displace [125I]T4 binding and to block iodothyronine activation of Ca(2+)-ATPase. The side chain terminal carboxyl group was essential for full activity of the retinoic acid molecule. Its absence or replacement with an ethylsulphone group rendered the molecule considerably less active in the ATPase model. Retinol, 13-cis-retinoic acid, benzene-substituted all-trans-retinoic acid and polyprenoic acid all failed to influence iodothyronine binding or to block activation of Ca(2+)-ATPase by T4. There was good agreement between the ability of an analogue to displace [125I]iodothyronine binding and its ability to inhibit the T4-dependent activation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase. It would appear from these observations that retinoic acid can modulate the activation of erythrocyte membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase by thyroid hormone through a mechanism which involves displacement of iodothyronine from binding sites. These activities apparently derive from both the ring structure and the fatty acid side chain of the retinoic acid molecule.

All-trans retinoic acid displaces the binding of radiolabelled calmodulin to human erythrocyte membranes, and inhibits the activity of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-stimulated, Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase (Ca(2+)-ATPase; EC 3.6.1.3). This enzyme is dependent upon the action of calmodulin. In this study we explored the structural attributes of the retinoids which confer this ability to inhibit enzyme activity and calmodulin binding. With respect to the fatty acid side-chain, a clear requirement for inhibition is a trans-configuration of the polar end-group. The importance of the ring structure is indicated by the ineffectiveness of polyprenoic acid and a benzene ring retinoid analogue as inhibitors of enzyme activity and calmodulin binding. There was good correlation between the relative potencies of the analogues as enzyme inhibitors and as inhibitors of calmodulin binding. The ability of selected retinoid analogues, at physiological concentrations with respect to all-trans retinoic acid, to inhibit erythrocyte Ca(2+)-ATPase activity and membrane binding of calmodulin underscores the structurally specific effects of these compounds on the interaction of calmodulin with the membrane-bound enzyme.

All-trans retinoic acid is a potent inhibitor of [125I]-thyroxine (T4) binding to human erythrocyte membranes and can block the activation by thyroid hormone of erythrocyte Ca(2+)-ATPase [J. Biol. Chem. (1989) 264, 687-689]. In the present studies, retinoic acid was examined for its ability to displace thyroxine from binding sites on human transthyretin (TTR). Scatchard analysis of [125I]T4 binding to purified TTR, determined by equilibrium dialysis, revealed two classes of binding sites with association constants of 3.2 x 10(9) M-1 and 8.1 x 10(6) M-1. All-trans retinoic acid also displaced [125I]T4; 40% of the specifically bound [125I]T4 was displaced at a retinoic acid concentration of 2 x 10(-5) M. Analysis of the high affinity T4 binding site suggests that the Ka for retinoic acid to that site is approx. 10(7) M-1. 8-Anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS), a strongly fluorescing dye, binds to the thyroxine binding sites on TTR. T4 and 3,5,3'-L-triiodothyronine (T3) shifted the fluorescence emission maximum and intensity of an ANS-TTR solution toward the spectrum obtained from uncomplexed ANS. All-trans retinoic acid caused a similar shift in the emission spectrum of ANS, but was less potent than T4. Retinol failed to quench the emission intensity of the ANS-TTR complex, while 13-cis-retinoic acid was less effective than all-trans retinoic acid.

Many substrates for P-glycoprotein, an ABC transporter that mediates multidrug resistance in mammalian cells, have been shown to stimulate its ATPase activity in vitro. In the present study, we used this property as a criterion to search for natural and artificial substrates and/or allosteric regulators of ABCR, the rod photoreceptor-specific ABC transporter responsible for Stargardt disease, an early onset macular degeneration. ABCR was immunoaffinity purified to apparent homogeneity from bovine rod outer segments and reconstituted into liposomes. All-trans-retinal, a candidate ligand, stimulates the ATPase activity of ABCR 3-4-fold, with a half-maximal effect at 10-15 microM. 11-cis- and 13-cis-retinal show similar activity. All-trans-retinal stimulates the ATPase activity of ABCR with Michaelis-Menten behavior indicative of simple noncooperative binding that is associated with a rate-limiting enzyme-substrate intermediate in the pathway of ATP hydrolysis. Among 37 structurally diverse non-retinoid compounds, including nine previously characterized substrates or sensitizers of P-glycoprotein, only four show significant ATPase stimulation when tested at 20 microM. The dose-response curves of these four compounds are indicative of multiple binding sites and/or modes of interaction with ABCR. Two of these compounds, amiodarone and digitonin, can act synergistically with all-trans-retinal, implying that they interact with a site or sites on ABCR different from the one with which all-trans-retinal interacts. Unlike retinal, amiodarone appears to interact with both free and ATP-bound ABCR. Together with clinical observations on Stargardt disease and the localization of ABCR to rod outer segment disc membranes, these data suggest that retinoids, and most likely retinal, are the natural substrates for transport by ABCR in rod outer segments. These observations have significant implications for understanding the visual cycle and the pathogenesis of Stargardt disease and for the identification of compounds that could modify the natural history of Stargardt disease or other retinopathies associated with impaired ABCR function.

Calcium is accumulated from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum by sarco-endoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPase (SERCA) enzymes. Because calcium stored in the endoplasmic reticulum is essential for cell growth, differentiation, calcium signaling, and apoptosis and because different SERCA enzymes possess distinct functional characteristics, in the present report we explored SERCA expression during in vitro differentiation of the human myeloid/promyelocytic cell lines HL-60 and NB4 and of freshly isolated acute promyelocytic leukemia cells. Two SERCA species have been found to be coexpressed in these cells: SERCA 2b and another isoform, SERCAPLIM, which is recognized by the PLIM430 monoclonal antibody. Induction of differentiation along the neutrophil granulocytic lineage by all-trans retinoic acid or cyclic AMP analogs led to an increased expression of SERCAPLIM, whereas the expression of the SERCA 2b isoform was decreased. The modulation of SERCA expression was manifest also on the mRNA level. Experiments with retinoic acid receptor isoform-specific retinoids indicated that SERCA expression is modulated by retinoic acid receptor alpha-dependent signaling. SERCA expression of retinoic acid-resistant cell variants was refractory to treatment. Differentiation along the monocyte/macrophage lineage by phorbol ester resulted in an increased expression of both SERCA isoforms. In addition, when cells were treated by phorbol ester in the presence of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone, a known inhibitor of monocyte differentiation, a selective blockage of the induction of SERCAPLIM was observed. Altered SERCA expression modified the functional characteristics of calcium transport into the endoplasmic reticulum. These observations show for the first time that the modulation of calcium pump expression is an integral component of the differentiation program of myeloid precursors and indicate that a lineage-specific remodelling of the endoplasmic reticulum occurs during cell maturation. In addition, these data show that SERCA isoforms may serve as useful markers for the study of myeloid differentiation.

ABCR is a photoreceptor-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter that has been linked to various retinal diseases, including Stargardt macular dystrophy, and implicated in retinal transport across rod outer segment (ROS) membranes. We have examined the ATPase and GTPase activity of detergent-solubilized and reconstituted ABCR. 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid-solubilized ABCR had ATPase and GTPase activity (K(m) approximately 75 micrometer V(max) approximately 200 nmol/min/mg) that was stimulated 1.5-2-fold by all-trans-retinal and dependent on phospholipid and dithiothreitol. The K(m) for ATP decreased to approximately 25 micrometer after reconstitution, whereas the V(max) was strongly dependent on the lipid used for reconstitution. ABCR reconstituted in ROS phospholipid had a V(max) for basal and retinal activated ATPase activity that was 4-6 times higher than for ABCR in soybean or brain phospholipid. This enhanced activity was mainly due to the high phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) content of ROS membranes. PE was also required for retinoid-stimulated ATPase activity. ATPase activity of ABCR was stimulated by the addition of N-retinylidene-PE but not the reduced derivative, retinyl-PE. ABCR expressed in COS-1 cells also exhibited retinal-stimulated ATPase activity similar to that of the native protein. These results support the view that ABCR is an active retinoid transporter, the nucleotidase activity of which is strongly influenced by its lipid environment.

A large body of experimental and clinical data have documented the damaging effects of light exposure on photoreceptor cells although the identities of the biologically relevant molecular targets of photodamage are still uncertain. Several lines of evidence point to retinoids or retinoid derivatives as chromophores that can mediate light damage. We report here that ABCR, a photoreceptor-specific transporter involved in the recycling of all-trans-retinal, is unusually sensitive to photooxidation damage mediated by all-trans-retinal in vitro. Partial loss of ABCR function is responsible for Stargardt macular dystrophy, which is associated with accumulation of A2E, a diretinoid adduct within the retinal pigment epithelium. Photodamage to ABCR causes it to aggregate in SDS gels and results in the loss of retinal-stimulated ATPase activity. Peripherin/RDS and ROM-1, two structural proteins that colocalize with ABCR at the outer segment disc rim, are also significantly more susceptible to all-trans-retinal-mediated photodamage than are the major proteins from the rod outer segment. These observations imply that there may be specific protein targets of photodamage within the outer segment, and they may be especially relevant to assessing the risk of light exposure in those individuals who already have diminished ABCR activity due to mutation in one or both copies of the ABCR gene.

The rod outer segment (ROS) ABC transporter (ABCR) plays an important role in the outer segment of retinal rod cells, where it functions as a transporter of all-trans retinal, most probably as the complex lipid, retinylidene-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine. We report here a quantitative analysis of the structural and functional effects of genetic mutations, associated with several macular degenerations, in the second nucleotide-binding domain of ABCR (NBD2). We have analyzed the ATP binding, kinetics of ATP hydrolysis, and structural changes. The results of these multifaceted analyses were correlated with the disease severity and prognosis. Results presented here demonstrated that, in wild type NBD2, distinct conformational changes accompany nucleotide (ATP and ADP) binding. Upon ATP binding, NBD2 protein changed to a relaxed conformation where tryptophans became more solvent-exposed, while ADP binding reverses this process and leads back to a taut conformation that is also observed with the unbound protein. This sequence of conformational change appears to be important in the energetics of the ATP hydrolysis and may have important structural consequences in the ability of the NBD2 domain to act as a regulator of the nucleotide-binding domain 1. Some of the mutant proteins displayed strikingly different patterns of conformational changes upon nucleotide binding that pointed to unique structural consequences of these genetic mutations. The ABCR dysfunctions, associated with various retinopathies, are multifaceted in nature and include alterations in protein structure as well as the attenuation of ATPase activity and nucleotide binding.

We investigated whether P-glycoprotein (P-gp) ATPase activity of Caco-2 cell membranes could be estimated by measuring consumption of ATP using luciferin-luciferase reaction, and whether the results would be useful for assessment of the interactions between P-gp and drugs. The vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity of Caco-2 cell membranes was measured rapidly with high sensitivity using luciferin-luciferase reaction. Cyclosporin A, verapamil, digoxin and quinidine stimulated the ATPase activity concentration-dependently with Km values of 5.3, 0.9, 1.2 and 4.1 microM, respectively. These values except for digoxin were comparable with previous reports. The ATPase activity and P-gp mRNA expression in Caco-2 cells were induced by all-trans-retinoic acid, digoxin and levothyroxine, but not dexamethasone or rifampicin. This method was useful to assess interactions with P-gp and drugs, and was used to elucidate the mechanisms of interaction of levothyroxine and digoxin.

ABCA4, also known as ABCR or the rim protein, is a member of the ABCA subfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters expressed in vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptor cells and localized to outer segment disk membranes. ABCA4 is organized in two tandem halves, each consisting of a transmembrane segment followed successively by a large exocytoplasmic domain, a multispanning membrane domain, and a nucleotide-binding domain. Over 400 mutations in ABCA4 have been linked to Stargardt macular degeneration and related retinal degenerative diseases that cause severe vision loss in affected individuals. Direct binding studies and ATPase activation measurements have identified N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine, a product generated from the photobleaching of rhodopsin, as the substrate for ABCA4. Mice deficient in ABCA4 accumulate phosphatidylethanolamine, all-trans retinal, and N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine in photoreceptors and the diretinal pyridinium compound A2E in retinal pigment epithelial cells. On the basis of these studies, ABCA4 is proposed to actively transport or flip N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine from the lumen to the cytoplasmic side of disc membranes following the photobleaching of rhodopsin. This transport activity insures that retinoids do not accumulate in disc membranes. Disease-linked mutations in ABCA4 that result in diminished transport activity lead to an accumulation of all-trans retinal and N-retinylidene-PE in disc membranes which react to produce A2E precursors. A2E progressively accumulates as lipofuscin deposits in retinal pigment epithelial cells as a result of phagocytosis of outer segment discs. A2E and photo-oxidation products cause RPE cell death and consequently photoreceptor degeneration resulting in a loss in vision in individuals with Stargardt macular degeneration and other retinal degenerative diseases associated with mutations in ABCA4.
