Abstract
Caveolins are a family of membrane-bound scaffolding proteins that compartmentalize and negatively regulate signal transduction. Recent studies have implicated a loss of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) expression in the pathogenesis of human cancers. Loss of Cav-1 expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts results in an activated tumor microenvironment, thereby driving early tumor recurrence, metastasis, and poor clinical outcome in breast and prostate cancers. We describe various paracrine signaling mechanism(s) by which the loss of stromal Cav-1 promotes tumor progression, including fibrosis, extracellular matrix remodeling, and the metabolic/catabolic reprogramming of cancer-associated fibroblast, to fuel the growth of adjacent tumor cells. It appears that oxidative stress is the root cause of initiation of the loss of stromal Cav-1 via autophagy, which provides further impetus for the use of antioxidants in anticancer therapy. Finally, we discuss the functional role of Cav-1 in epithelial cancer cells.

Abstract
Caveolae, the major source of caveolin-1 protein, are specialized invaginated microdomains of the plasma membrane that act as organizing centers for signaling molecules in the immune system. In the present study, we report the cloning and characterization of caveolin-1 (mCav-1) from mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) and study on the roles of mCav-1 in the fish Jak–Stat signaling pathway and in virus infection. The cDNA sequence of mCav-1 was 707 bp in size, encoding a protein of 181 amino acids, which was different from the mammalian protein (178 amino acids). The deduced amino acid sequence of mCav-1 shared similar architecture with vertebrate caveolin-1 proteins, but mCav-1 lacked a phosphorylation site (y14). The major subcellular location of mCav-1 was in the caveolae, where the protein appeared to have major functions. Real-time PCR revealed that the expression of the mandarin fish Mx, IRF-1, SOCS1, and SOCS3 genes involved in the poly(I:C)-induced Jak–Stat signaling pathway was impaired by the mCav-1 scaffolding domain peptide (mSDP). In mandarin fish fry (MFF-1) cells, the protein levels of mCav-1 were markedly up-regulated at 12 and 24 h post-infection with ISKNV (infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus). In addition, ISKNV entry into MFF-1 cells was significantly inhibited by mSDP, and the inhibition was dose-dependent. Thus, ISKNV infection was apparently associated with mCav-1 protein and may utilize the caveolae-related endocytosis pathway. The findings reported here further our understanding of the function of caveolin-1 in the complex signal transduction network in fish immune systems and in the cellular entry mechanism of iridoviruses.

Abstract
Proteins interacting with membranes via a single hydrophobic segment can be classified as either monotopic or bitopic. Here, we probe the topology of a membrane-attached enzyme, the ε isoform of human diacylglycerol kinase (DGKε), when inserted into rough microsomes and compare it with the monotopic membrane protein mouse caveolin-1. In contrast to previous findings, the N-terminal hydrophobic stretch in DGKε attains a bitopic rather than a monotopic topology in our experimental system. In addition, we find that charged flanking residues as well as proline residues embedded in the hydrophobic segment are important determinants of monotopic versus bitopic topology.

Abstract
When the aging-dependent cellular behaviors toward growth factors and toxic stress have been analyzed, the perinuclear accumulation of the activated signals, either mitogenic or apoptotic, has been observed, suggesting the aging-dependent inefficiency of the nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of the signals. Thereby, it would be natural to assume the operation of the functional nuclear barrier in aging-dependent manner, which would be designated as "Park and Lim's Barrier." And for the ultimate transcriptional factor for these aging-dependent changes of the functional nuclear barrier, Sp1 transcriptional factor has been suggested to be the most probable candidate. This novel mechanism of aging-dependent operation of the functional nuclear barrier is proposed as the ultimate checking mechanism for cellular protection against toxic environment and the general mechanism for the trade-off growth to survival in aging.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 has a segment of hydrophobic amino acids comprising approximately residues 103-122. We have performed an in silico analysis of the conformational preference of this segment of caveolin-1 using PepLook. We find that there is one main group of stable conformations corresponding to a hydrophobic U bent model that would not traverse the membrane. Furthermore, the calculations predict that substituting the Pro(110) residue with an Ala will change the conformation to a straight hydrophobic helix that would traverse the membrane. We have expressed the P110A mutant of caveolin-1, with a FLAG tag at the N terminus, in HEK 293 cells. We evaluate the topology of the proteins with confocal immunofluorescence microscopy in these cells. We find that FLAG tag at the N terminus of the wild type caveolin-1 is not reactive with antibodies unless the cell membrane is permeabilized with detergent. This indicates that in these cells, the hydrophobic segment of this protein is not transmembrane but takes up a bent conformation, making the protein monotopic. In contrast, the FLAG tag at the N terminus of the P110A mutant is equally exposed to antibodies, before and after membrane permeabilization. We also find that the P110A mutation causes a large reduction of endocytosis of caveolae, cellular lipid accumulation, and lipid droplet formulation. In addition, we find that this mutation markedly reduces the ability of caveolin-1 to form structures with the characteristic morphology of caveolae or to partition into the detergent-resistant membranes of these cells. Thus, the single Pro residue in the membrane-inserting segment of caveolin-1 plays an important role in both the membrane topology and localization of the protein as well as its functions.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibroproliferative disorder refractory to current pharmacological therapies. Fibroblasts isolated from IPF patients display pathological activation of PI3K/Akt caused by low PTEN phosphatase activity. This enables these cells to escape the negative proliferative properties of polymerized collagen. The mechanism underlying low PTEN activity in IPF fibroblasts is unclear, but our prior studies indicate that membrane-associated PTEN expression is decreased in these cells. Caveolin-1 is an integral membrane protein whose expression is decreased in IPF lung tissue, but how low caveolin-1 contributes to pathological fibrosis is incompletely understood. The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that caveolin-1 regulates PTEN function in IPF fibroblasts. Here we demonstrate that caveolin-1 expression is a determinant of membrane PTEN levels and show that PTEN interacts with caveolin-1 via its caveolin-1-binding sequence. We demonstrate that caveolin-1 expression is low in IPF fibroblasts and that this correlates with low membrane PTEN levels, whereas overexpression of caveolin-1 restores membrane PTEN levels, inhibits Akt phosphorylation, and suppresses proliferation. We demonstrate that caveolin-1 and PTEN expression are low in myofibroblasts within IPF fibroblastic foci. These data indicate that IPF fibroblasts display low caveolin-1 expression, which results in low membrane-associated PTEN expression. This creates a membrane microenvironment depleted of inhibitory phosphatase activity, facilitating the aberrant activation PI3K/Akt and pathological proliferation.

Abstract
Caveolins (cav1-3) are essential membrane proteins found in caveolae. The caveolin scaffolding domain of cav-1 includes a short sequence containing a CRAC motif (V94TKYWFYR101) at its C-terminal end. To investigate the role of this motif in the caveolin-membrane interaction at the atomic level, we performed a detailed structural and dynamics characterization of a cav-1(V94-L102) nonapeptide encompassing this motif and including the first residue of cav-1 hydrophobic domain (L102), in dodecylmaltoside (DM) or dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles, as membrane mimics. Cav-1(V94-L102) partitioned better in DPC and in DM/anionic lipid micelles than in DM micelles, as shown by fluorescence titration and CD. NMR data revealed that this peptide folded as an amphipathic helix located in the polar head group region of DPC micelles. The two tyrosine side-chains, flanked by arginine and lysine residues, are situated on one face of this helix, whereas the phenylalanine and tryptophan side-chains are located on the opposite face. Fluorescence studies showed significant Trp subnanosecond rotations, the presence of several rotamers, and a heterogeneous location within the water/micelle interface. NMR studies of the shorter cav-1(V94-R101) peptide and of the homologous sequence of cav-2(I79SKYVMYKF87) allowed the description of the effect of L102 and of the amino acid variations occurring in cav-2 on the structure and localization in DPC micelles. Based on the topological model of caveolins, our results suggest that the cav-1 and cav-2 nonapeptides studied form interfacial alpha-helix membrane anchors in which the K/RhhhYK/Rh motif, also found in cav-3, may play a significant role.

Abstract
Membrane microdomains, e.g., lipid rafts and caveolae, are crucial cell surface organelles responsible for many cellular signaling and communication events, which makes the characterization of their proteomes both interesting and valuable. They are large cellular complexes comprised of specific proteins and lipids, yet they are simple enough in composition to be amenable to modern LC/MS/MS methods for proteomics. However, the proteomic characterization of membrane microdomains by traditional qualitative mass spectrometry is insufficient for distinguishing true components of the microdomains from copurifying contaminants or for evaluating dynamic changes in the proteome compositions. In this review, we discuss the contributions quantitative proteomics has made to our understanding of the biology of membrane microdomains.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of phenylephrine (PE)- and isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac hypertrophy on subcellular localization and expression of caveolin-3 and STAT3 in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells. Caveolin-3 localization to plasma membrane was attenuated and localization of caveolin-3 to caveolae in the plasma membrane was 24.3% reduced by the catecholamine- induced hypertrophy. STAT3 and phospho-STAT3 were up-regulated but verapamil and cyclosporin A synergistically decreased the STAT3 and phospho- STAT3 levels in PE- and ISO-induced hypertrophic cells. Both expression and activation of STAT3 were increased in the nucleus by the hypertrophy. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that the catecholamine- induced hypertrophy promoted nuclear localization of pY705-STAT3. Of interest, phosphorylation of pS727- STAT3 in mitochondria was significantly reduced by catecholamine-induced hypertrophy. In addition, mitochondrial complexes II and III were greatly down- regulated in the hypertrophic cells. Our data suggest that the alterations in nuclear and mitochondrial activation of STAT3 and caveolae localization of caveolin-3 are related to the development of the catecholamine-induced cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Caveolin-1, a constitutive protein of the caveolae, is implicated in processes of vesicular transport during caveolae-mediated endocytosis. However, the molecular mechanisms of caveolae-mediated endocytosis are not yet clearly defined. Here, we show the physiological role of the Rab5-caveolin-1 interaction during caveolae-mediated endocytosis. Rab5 was found in caveolae-enriched fractions and Rab5 directly bound to caveolin-1. Furthermore, binding sites of Rab5 to caveolin-1 were identified in the scaffold (SD), transmembrane (TM), and C-terminus (CC) domains, and the Rab5 binding domain of caveolin-1 was required for CTXB uptake. Subsequently, we performed a GST-R5BD pull-down assay to determine whether the Rab5 binding domain of caveolin-1 is involved in Rab5 activity or not. The results showed that overexpression of the Rab5 binding domain of caveolin-1 increase the amount of Rab5-GTP in Cos-1 cells. These findings imply that caveolin-1 controls the Rab5 activity during the caveolae-mediated endocytosis.

Abstract
The epsilon isoform of diacylglycerol kinase (DGKepsilon) is unique among mammalian DGKs in having a segment of hydrophobic amino acids comprising approximately residues 20 to 41. Several algorithms predict this segment to be a transmembrane (TM) helix. Using PepLook, we have performed an in silico analysis of the conformational preference of the segment in a hydrophobic environment comprising residues 18 to 42 of DGKepsilon. We find that there are two distinct groups of stable conformations, one corresponding to a straight helix that would traverse the membrane and the second corresponding to a bent helix that would enter and leave the same side of the membrane. Furthermore, the calculations predict that substituting the Pro32 residue in the hydrophobic segment with an Ala will cause the hydrophobic segment to favor a TM orientation. We have expressed the P32A mutant of DGKepsilon, with a FLAG tag (an N-terminal 3xFLAG epitope tag) at the amino terminus, in COS-7 cells. We find that this mutation causes a large reduction in both k(cat) and K(m) while maintaining k(cat)/K(m) constant. Specificity of the P32A mutant for substrates with polyunsaturated acyl chains is retained. The P32A mutant also has higher affinity for membranes since it is more difficult to extract from the membrane with high salt concentration or high pH compared with the wild-type DGKepsilon. We also evaluated the topology of the proteins with confocal immunofluorescence microscopy using NIH 3T3 cells. We find that the FLAG tag at the amino terminus of the wild-type enzyme is not reactive with antibodies unless the cell membrane is permeabilized with detergent. We also demonstrate that at least a fraction of the wild-type DGKepsilon is present in the plasma membrane and that comparable amounts of the wild-type and P32A mutant proteins are in the plasma membrane fraction. This indicates that in these cells the hydrophobic segment of the wild-type DGKepsilon is not TM but takes up a bent conformation. In contrast, the FLAG tag at the amino terminus of the P32A mutant is exposed to antibody both before and after membrane permeabilization. This modeling approach thus provides an explanation, not provided by simple predictive algorithms, for the observed topology of this protein in cell membranes. The work also demonstrates that the wild-type DGKepsilon is a monotopic protein.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is an integral membrane protein that may function as a scaffold for plasma membrane proteins and acts as a tumor suppressor protein. One causative factor of chemotherapy-resistant cancers is P-plycoprotein (P-gp), the product of the multidrug resistance-1 gene (MDR1), which is localized in the caveolar structure. Currently, the interactive roles of CAV1 and MDR1 expression in the death of cancer cells remain controversial. In this study, we investigated the effects of indomethacin on the cell viability and the expression levels of MDR1 mRNA and protein in a CAV1-siRNA-mediated gene knockdown hepatoma cell line (SK-Hep1). Cell viability was significantly decreased in CAV1-siRNA-transfected cells compared with that of control-siRNA-transfected cells. Furthermore, the viability of cells pretreated with CAV1 siRNA was markedly decreased by treatment with indomethacin (400microM for 24 h). However, the protein and mRNA levels of MDR1 were unchanged in CAV1-siRNA-transfected cells. These results suggest that CAV1 plays an important role as a major survival enzyme in cancer cells, and indomethacin can sensitively induce cell death under conditions of reduced CAV1 expression, independent of MDR1 expression.

Abstract
The orf3a (also called X1 or U274) gene is the largest unique open reading frame in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus genome and has been proposed to encode a protein with three transmembrane domains and a large cytoplasmic domain. Recent work has suggested that the 3a protein may play a structural role in the viral life cycle, although the mechanisms for this remain uncharacterized. Here, the expression of the 3a protein in various in vitro systems is shown, it has been localized to the Golgi region and its membrane topology in transfected cells has been confirmed. Three potential caveolin-1-binding sites were reported to be present in the 3a protein. By using various biochemical, biophysical and genetic techniques, interaction of the 3a protein with caveolin-1 is demonstrated. Any one of the potential sites in the 3a protein was sufficient for this interaction. These results are discussed with respect to the possible roles of the 3a protein in the viral life cycle.

Abstract
Caveolae are identifiable plasma membrane invaginations. The main structural proteins of caveolae are the caveolins. There are three caveolins expressed in mammals, designated Cav-1, Cav-2, and Cav-3. It has been postulated that Cav-1 acts as a scaffold protein for signaling proteins; these include ion channels, enzymes, and other ligand receptors like membrane-associated estrogen receptor (ER)α or ERβ. Caveolae-associated membrane proteins are involved in regulating some of the rapid estrogenic effects of 17β-estradiol. One important system related to the activity of ERα and caveolae is the renin-angiotensin system. Angiotensin II (ANG II) has numerous actions in vascular smooth muscle, including modulation of vasomotor tone, cell growth, apoptosis, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt activation, and others. Many proteins associated with caveolae are in close relation with the scaffolding domain of Cav-1 (82–101 amino acid residues). It has been proposed that this peptide may acts as a kinase inhibitor. Therefore, to explore the ability of Cav-1 scaffolding peptide (CSP-1) to regulate ANG II function and analyze the relationship between ERα and ANG II type 1 and 2 (AT1 and AT2) receptors, we decided to study the effects of CSP-1 on ANG II-induced intracellular Ca2+ kinetics and the effect of 17β-estradiol on this modulation using human smooth muscle cells in culture, intracellular Ca2+ concentration measurements, immuno- and double-immunocytochemistry confocal analysis of receptor expression, immunoblot analysis, and immunocoprecipitation assays to demonstrate coexpression. We hypothesized that CSP-1 inhibits ANG II-mediated increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations by interfering with intracellular signaling including the PI3K/Akt pathway. We also hypothesize that AT2 receptors associate with Cav-1. Our results show that there is a close association of AT1, AT2, and ERα with Cav-1 in human arterial smooth muscle cells in culture. CSP-1 inhibits ANG II-induced intracellular signaling.

Abstract
Rotavirus NSP4 plays multiple roles in viral pathogenesis, morphogenesis and replication. We previously reported a direct interaction between full-length NSP4 and the enterotoxic peptide composed of NSP4 residues 114-135 with full-length caveolin-1, the structural protein of caveolae. Caveolin-1 forms a hairpin loop in the cytoplasmic leaflet of plasma membrane caveolae. This unique orientation results in both termini of caveolin-1 exposed to the cytoplasm. The goal of this study was to map the caveolin-1 residues that interact with NSP4 to obtain a more complete picture of this binding event. Utilizing reverse yeast two-hybrid analyses and direct peptide binding assays, the NSP4 binding site was localized to caveolin-1 residues 2-22 and 161-178, at the amino- and carboxyl-termini, respectively. However, NSP4 binding to one of the termini was sufficient for the interaction.

Abstract
Caveolae are a highly abundant but enigmatic feature of mammalian cells. They form remarkably stable membrane domains at the plasma membrane but can also function as carriers in the exocytic and endocytic pathways. The apparently diverse functions of caveolae, including mechanosensing and lipid regulation, might be linked to their ability to respond to plasma membrane changes, a property that is dependent on their specialized lipid composition and biophysical properties.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (cav-1), a member of a protein family associated mainly with cell membrane microdomains in many cell types, acts as a tumor suppressor in ovarian carcinoma cells. Biochemical analyses demonstrated that cav-1 was also localized in the nuclei of ovarian carcinoma cells, endogenously (SKOV3) or ectopically (IGtC3) expressing cav-1. By confocal analyses, the same cell lines as well as IGROV1 and SKOV3 cells transiently transfected with green fluorescent protein-cav-1 fusion protein showed nuclear punctate speckled pattern. Subnuclear distribution analysis revealed cav-1 mainly associated with the nuclear matrix, but also slightly with chromatin. Cav-1 was found in nuclear high-molecular weight complexes and by confocal analysis was found to co-localized with the inner nuclear membrane protein emerin. Cyclin D1 and folate receptor promoters were modulated by cav-1 in SKOV3 cells as demonstrated by transient transfection with or silencing of cav-1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and supershift assays indicated that nuclear cav-1 can bind in vitro and in vivo to promoter sequences of both cyclin D1 and folate receptor genes. These data suggest that in ovarian carcinoma cells cav-1, localized in transcriptionally inactive chromatin, exerts a functional activity mediated, at least in part, by directly binding to sequences of genes involved in proliferation.

Abstract
When cells are migrating, caveolin-1, the principal protein component of caveolae, is excluded from the leading edge and polarized at the cell rear. The dynamic feature depends on a specific sequence motif that directs intracellular trafficking of the protein. Deletion mutation analysis revealed a putative polarization domain at the N terminus of caveolin-1, between amino acids 32-60. Alanine substitution identified a minimal sequence of 10 residues ((46)TKEIDLVNRD(55)) necessary for caveolin-1 rear polarization. Interestingly, deletion of amino acids 1-60 did not prevent the polarization of caveolin-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells or wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts because of an interaction of Cav(61-178) mutant with endogenous caveolin-1. Surprisingly, expression of the depolarization mutant in caveolin-1 null cells dramatically impeded caveolae formation. Furthermore, knockdown of caveolae formation by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin failed to prevent wild-type caveolin-1 rear polarization. Importantly, genetic depletion of caveolin-1 led to disoriented migration, which can be rescued by full-length caveolin-1 but not the depolarization mutant, indicating a role of caveolin-1 polarity in chemotaxis. Thus, we have identified a sequence motif that is essential for caveolin-1 rear polarization and caveolae formation.

Abstract
In addition to nuclear-initiated (genomic) responses, estrogen receptors (ERs) have the ability to facilitate rapid, membrane-initiated, estrogen-triggered signaling cascades via a plasma membrane-associated form of the receptor. These rapid responses are dependent on assembly of membrane ER-centered multimolecular complexes, which can transduce ligand-activated signals to affect a variety of enzymatic pathways, often occurring in a cell-type-specific fashion with tissue-specific physiological outcomes. In some instances, cross-talk occurs between these membrane-initiated and nuclear responses, ultimately regulating transcriptional activation. The role of splice variants in membrane-initiated estrogen responses has been described, notably those within the vascular endothelium. In this review, we describe the evidence for membrane ERs, the molecular components of the aforementioned signaling complexes and pathways, the relevance of ER splice variants, and ER-mediated responses in specific tissues. Our growing understanding of ER-mediated actions at a molecular level will provide insight into the controversies surrounding hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
The membrane binding and model lipid raft interaction of synthetic peptides derived from the caveolin scaffolding domain (CSD) of the protein caveolin-1 have been investigated. CSD peptides bind preferentially to liquid-disordered domains in model lipid bilayers composed of cholesterol and an equimolar ratio of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and brain sphingomyelin. Three caveolin-1 peptides were studied: the scaffolding domain (residues 83-101), a water-insoluble construct containing residues 89-101, and a water-soluble construct containing residues 89-101. Confocal and fluorescence microscopy investigation shows that the caveolin-1 peptides bind to the more fluid cholesterol-poor phase. The binding of the water-soluble peptide to lipid bilayers was measured using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). We measured molar partition coefficients of 10(4) M(-1) between the soluble peptide and phase-separated lipid bilayers and 10(3) M(-1) between the soluble peptide and bilayers with a single liquid phase. Partial phase diagrams for our phase-separating lipid mixture with added caveolin-1 peptides were measured using fluorescence microscopy. The water-soluble peptide did not change the phase morphology or the miscibility transition in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs); however, the water-insoluble and full-length CSD peptides lowered the liquid-liquid melting temperature.

Abstract
Circular dichroism (CD) and NMR spectroscopy were used to study the conformational properties of two synthetic peptides, D82-R101 and D82-I109, encompassing the caveolin scaffolding domain (D82-R101), in the presence of dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles. Our data show that a stable helical conformation of the caveolin scaffolding domain in a membrane mimicking system is only obtained for the peptide including the L102-I109 hydrophobic stretch, a part of the caveolin intra-membrane domain. Through chemical shift variations, an ensemble of six residues of the D82-L109 peptide, mainly located in the V(94)TKYWFYR(101) motif were found to detect the presence of phosphatidylserine solubilized in DPC micelles. Our results constitute a first step for elucidating at a residue level the conformational properties of the central region of the caveolin-1 protein.

Abstract
Cholesterol is not uniformly distributed in biological membranes. One of the factors influencing the formation of cholesterol-rich domains in membranes is the unequal lateral distribution of proteins in membranes. Certain proteins are found in cholesterol-rich domains. In some of these cases, it is as a consequence of the proteins interacting directly with cholesterol. There are several structural features of a protein that result in the protein preferentially associating with cholesterol-rich domains. One of the best documented of these is certain types of lipidations. In addition, however, there are segments of a protein that can preferentially sequester cholesterol. We discuss two examples of these cholesterol-recognition elements: the cholesterol recognition/interaction amino acid consensus (CRAC) domain and the sterol-sensing domain (SSD). The requirements for a CRAC motif are quite flexible and predict that a large number of sequences could recognize cholesterol. There are, however, certain proteins that are known to interact with cholesterol-rich domains of cell membranes that have CRAC motifs, and synthetic peptides corresponding to these segments also promote the formation of cholesterol-rich domains. Modeling studies have provided a rationale for certain requirements of the CRAC motif. The SSD is a larger protein segment comprising five transmembrane domains. The amino acid sequence YIYF is found in several SSD and in certain other proteins for which there is evidence that they interact with cholesterol-rich domains. The CRAC sequences as well as YIYF are generally found adjacent to a transmembrane helical segment. These regions appear to have a strong influence of the localization of certain proteins into domains in biological membranes. In addition to the SSD, there is also a domain found in soluble proteins, the START domain, that binds lipids. Certain proteins with START domains specifically bind cholesterol and are believed to function in intracellular cholesterol transport. One of these proteins is StAR-D1, that also has a mitochondrial targeting sequence and plays an important role in delivering cholesterol to the mitochondria of steroidogenic cells.

Abstract
Despite many endeavors, no satisfactory strategy has emerged for modulating the aging process, most probably because they were based on faulty rationales. In an extension of the "gate theory of aging" that we proposed recently, we propose here that caveolin, an essential component of caveolae structure, may offer a potential target for modulating the aging process. According to the gate theory, certain biomolecules such as caveolins, amphiphysins, G proteins, and integrins play decisive roles in determining the senescent phenotype and thus provide targets for modulating the aging process. Among these molecules, we chose caveolin, because it can associate with a variety of regulatory and structural molecules via their scaffolding domains and thereby influence a broad spectrum of biological phenomena including both the physiology and morphology of the senescent cells. This is an attempt to review the vast body of evidence available in the literature, both direct and indirect, supporting the accord of this pivotal role to the caveolin in the background of the gate theory for the aging process.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 and -3 are among the few proteins in which the functional domains are contiguous and modular. The interaction of synthetic peptides spanning the scaffolding domain of caveolin-3 with model membranes has been investigated. The peptides include the scaffolding domain, the aromatic and positively charged residues at the C-terminal end of this domain as well as deletion of three amino acids TFT, observed in certain patients with limb girdle muscular dystrophy. All of the peptides appear to be peripherally bound to the bilayer surface. However, no preferential binding to sphingomyelin and cholesterol-containing lipid vesicles was observed. Deletion of TFT appears to affect the association with lipid vesicles compared with the native sequence. Association with lipids decreases considerably when TFT as well as the aromatic-rich segment YWFYR, which occurs at the extreme C-terminus of the scaffolding domain, are deleted.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is emerging as the central protein controlling caveolae formation, caveolae trafficking, and cellular signalling. In particular, it is known that Cav-1 interacts and modulates the activity of several signalling proteins through the so-called caveolin scaffolding domain. In this paper, we used a bioinformatics approach to assess the validity of some long-standing structural features of Cav-1. We could confirm the existence of a membrane spanning region of Cav-1 and highlight an interesting pattern of palmitoylated cysteine residues explaining the structural features of the Cav-1 C-terminal region. Moreover, the scaffolding domain is predicted to have a different structure than previously reported.

Abstract
Aging can be characterized by structural changes and functional deterioration during the lifetime, for which hundreds of explanations have been put forward. Recently, we have proposed the gate theory of aging, in which gatekeeper molecules at the membrane level would play the prime role in determining the senescent phenotype. Caveolin-1 would be a prime candidate for such a role as a major determinant of the aging process. Caveolin-1 can associate with a variety of molecules, involved in signal transduction, endocytosis and transcytosis, cytoskeletal arrangement, etc. The level of caveolin-1 is strictly regulated to maintain cellular integrity, leading to cellular transformation if depleted, and to the senescent phenotype if overexpressed. In case of senescent cells, the functional and physiological responses to the mitogenic stimuli can be restored and the morphological shape can be resumed by simple adjustment of caveolin-1 status. Therefore, it is suggested that prime modulator molecules, represented by caveolin-1, play a key role in determining the senescent phenotype, either as a physiological response or altered morphology.

Abstract
Caveolin is the principal component of caveolae in vivo. In addition to a structural role, it is believed to play a scaffolding function to organize and inactivate signaling molecules that are concentrated on the cytoplasmic surface of caveolar membranes. The large GTPase dynamin has been shown to mediate the scission of caveolae from the plasma membrane, although it is unclear if dynamin interacts directly with caveolin or via accessory proteins. Therefore, the goal of this study was to test whether dynamin associates with caveolae via a direct binding to the caveolin 1 (Cav1) protein. Immunoelectron microscopy of lung endothelium or a cultured hepatocyte cell line stained with antibodies for Dyn2 and Cav1 shows that these proteins co-localize to caveolae. To further define this interaction biochemically, in vitro experiments were performed using glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-Dyn2 and GST-Cav1 fusion proteins, which demonstrated a direct interaction between these proteins. This interaction appears to be mediated by the proline-arginine-rich domain (PRD) of Dyn2, as a GST-PRD fragment binds Cav1 while GST-Dyn2DeltaPRD does not. Further, in vitro binding studies using two Dyn2 spliced forms and Cav1 peptides immobilized on paper identify specific domains of Cav1 that bind Dyn2. Interestingly, these Cav1-binding domains differ markedly between two spliced variant forms of Dyn2. In support of these distinctive physical interactions, we find that the different Dyn2 forms, when expressed as GTPase-defective mutants, exert markedly different inhibitory effects on caveolae internalization, as assayed by cholera toxin uptake. These studies provide the first evidence for a direct interaction between dynamin and the caveolin coat, and demonstrate a selectivity of one Dyn2 form toward the caveolae-mediated endocytosis.

Abstract
The presence of cell surface caveolin/caveolae has been postulated to influence the localization, expression levels, and kinase activity of numerous receptors, including the insulin receptor. However, there are conflicting data concerning the effects of caveolin on insulin receptor expression and function. To help clarify this issue, we created a gain of function situation by expressing caveolin-1 at various levels in HEK-293 cells where the endogenous level of caveolin-1 is very low. We generated four permanent lines of this cell expressing amounts of caveolin-1 ranging from 10 to 40 times that of parental cells. The amount of caveolin-1 in the human embryonic kidney cells expressing the highest caveolin levels is comparable with that of adipocytes, cells that naturally express one of the highest levels of caveolin-1. We measured insulin receptor amount and insulin-dependent receptor autophosphorylation as well as insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) tyrosine phosphorylation as an index of insulin signaling. We found that the insulin receptor level was essentially the same in the parental and all four derived cell lines. Likewise, we determined that insulin-dependent insulin receptor and IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation was not significantly different in the four cell lines representing parental, low, medium, and high levels of caveolin-1 expression. We conclude that insulin receptor expression and ligand-dependent signaling is independent of caveolin-1 expression.

Abstract
It is generally well accepted that caveolin-3 expression is muscle specific, whereas caveolin-1 and -2 are coexpressed in a variety of cell types, including adipocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and fibroblasts. Caveolin-1 and -2 are known to form functional hetero-oligomeric complexes in cells where they are coexpressed, whereas caveolin-3 forms homo-oligomeric high molecular mass complexes. Although caveolin-2 might be expected to interact in a similar manner with caveolin-3, most studies indicate that this is not the case. However, this view has recently been challenged as it has been demonstrated that caveolin-2 and -3 are coexpressed in primary cultures of cardiac myocytes, where these two proteins can be coimmunoprecipitated. Thus it remains controversial whether caveolin-2 interacts with caveolin-3. Here, we directly address the issue of caveolin isoform protein-protein interactions by means of three distinct molecular genetic approaches. First, using caveolin-1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts, in which we have stably expressed caveolin-1, -2, or -3, we find that caveolin-1 interacts with caveolin-2 in this setting, whereas caveolin-3 does not, in agreement with most published observations. Next, we used a transfected L6 myoblast cell system expressing all three caveolin proteins. Surprisingly, we found that caveolin-1, -2, and -3 all coimmunoprecipitate in this cell type, suggesting that this interaction is muscle cell specific. Similar results were obtained when the skeletal muscle of caveolin-1 transgenic animals was analyzed for caveolin-1 and caveolin-3 coimmunoprecipitation. Thus we conclude that all three caveolins can interact to form a discrete hetero-oligomeric complex, but that such complex formation is clearly muscle specific.

Abstract
A protein that constitutes a good marker for a type of cholesterol-rich domain in biological membranes is caveolin. A segment of this protein has a sequence that corresponds to a cholesterol recognition/interaction amino acid consensus (CRAC) motif; this motif has been suggested to cause the incorporation of proteins into cholesterol-rich domains. We have studied the interaction of two peptides containing the CRAC motif of caveolin-1 by differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence, circular dichroism and magic angle spinning NMR. These peptides promote the segregation of cholesterol into domains from mixtures of the sterol with phosphatidylcholine, as shown by depletion of cholesterol from a portion of the membrane and enrichment of cholesterol in another domain. Cholesterol passes its solubility limit in the cholesterol-rich domain, resulting in the formation of cholesterol crystallites, suggesting that not all of the cholesterol recruited to this domain is bound to the peptide. NMR studies show that the peptides insert somewhat more deeply into membranes when cholesterol is present, but their strongest interaction takes place with the interfacial region of the membrane. We conclude that the peptides we studied containing CRAC sequences are more effective in promoting the formation of cholesterol-rich domains than are shorter peptides of this region of caveolin, which although they contain several aromatic amino acids, they have no CRAC motif. The presence or absence of a CRAC motif, however, is not a sufficient criterion to determine the extent to which a protein will promote the segregation of cholesterol in membranes.

Abstract
Y1 adrenocortical cells respond to ACTH with a characteristic rounding-up that facilitates cAMP signaling, critical for transport of cholesterol to the mitochondria and increase in steroid secretion. We here demonstrate that caveolin-1 participates in coupling activation of protein kinase A (PKA) to the control of cell shape. ACTH/8-Br-cAMP induced reorganization of caveolin-1-positive structures in correlation with the cellular rounding-up. Concomitant with this change, there was an increase in the phosphorylation of caveolin-1 (Tyr-14) localized at focal adhesions (FA) with reorganization of FA to rounded, ringlike structures. Colocalization with phalloidin showed that phosphocaveolin is present at the edge of actin filaments and that after ACTH stimulation F-actin dots at the cell periphery become surrounded by phosphocaveolin-1. These observations along with electron microscopy studies revealed these structures as podosomes. Podosome assembly was dependent on both PKA and tyrosine kinase activities because their formation was impaired after treatment with specific inhibitors [myristoylated PKI (mPKI) or PP2, respectively] previous to ACTH/8-Br-cAMP stimulation. These results show for the first time that ACTH induces caveolin-1 phosphorylation and podosome assembly in Y1 cells and support the view that the morphological and functional responses to PKA activation in steroidogenic cells are related to cytoskeleton dynamics.

Abstract
Although they were discovered more than 50 years ago, caveolae have remained enigmatic plasmalemmal organelles. With their characteristic “flasklike” shape and virtually ubiquitous tissue distribution, these interesting structures have been implicated in a wide range of cellular functions. Similar to clathrin-coated pits, caveolae function as macromolecular vesicular transporters, while their unique lipid composition classifies them as plasma membrane lipid rafts, structures enriched in a variety of signaling molecules. The caveolin proteins (caveolin-1, -2, and -3) serve as the structural components of caveolae, while also functioning as scaffolding proteins, capable of recruiting numerous signaling molecules to caveolae, as well as regulating their activity. That so many signaling molecules and signaling cascades are regulated by an interaction with the caveolins provides a paradigm by which numerous disease processes may be affected by ablation or mutation of these proteins. Indeed, studies in caveolin-deficient mice have implicated these structures in a host of human diseases, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and a variety of degenerative muscular dystrophies. In this review, we provide an in depth summary regarding the mechanisms by which caveolae and caveolins participate in human disease processes.

Abstract
Although caveolins normally reside in caveolae, they can accumulate on the surface of cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs). Here, we first provided support for our model that overaccumulation of caveolins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) diverts the proteins to nascent LDs budding from the ER. Next, we found that a mutant H-Ras, present on the cytoplasmic surface of the ER but lacking a hydrophobic peptide domain, did not accumulate on LDs. We used the fact that wild-type caveolin-1 accumulates in LDs after brefeldin A treatment or when linked to an ER retrieval motif to search for mutants defective in LD targeting. The hydrophobic domain, but no specific sequence therein, was required for LD targeting of caveolin-1. Certain Leu insertions blocked LD targeting, independently of hydrophobic domain length, but dependent on their position in the domain. We propose that proper packing of putative hydrophobic helices may be required for LD targeting of caveolin-1.

Abstract
Caveolin-1, a structural protein of caveolae, is cleared unusually slowly from the Golgi apparatus during biosynthetic transport. Furthermore, several caveolin-1 mutant proteins accumulate in the Golgi apparatus. We examined this behavior further in this mutant study. Golgi accumulation probably resulted from loss of Golgi exit information, not exposure of cryptic retention signals, because several deletion mutants accumulated in the Golgi apparatus. Alterations throughout the protein caused Golgi accumulation. Thus, most probably acted indirectly, by affecting overall conformation, rather than by disrupting specific Golgi exit motifs. Consistent with this idea, almost all the Golgi-localized mutant proteins failed to oligomerize normally (even with an intact oligomerization domain), and they showed reduced raft affinity in an in vitro detergent-insolubility assay. A few mutant proteins formed unstable oligomers that migrated unusually slowly on blue native gels. Only one mutant protein, which lacked the first half of the N-terminal hydrophilic domain, accumulated in the Golgi apparatus despite normal oligomerization and raft association. These results suggested that transport of caveolin-1 through the Golgi apparatus is unusually difficult. The conformation of caveolin-1 may be optimized to overcome this difficulty, but remain very sensitive to mutation. Disrupting conformation can coordinately affect oligomerization, raft affinity, and Golgi exit of caveolin-1.

Abstract
Caveolae are specialized membrane microdomains present within the plasma membrane of the vast majority of cell types. They have a unique composition in that they are highly enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids, and their coat proteins the caveolins (-1, -2, and -3). In recent years it has been recognized that caveolae act as signaling platforms, serving as a concentrating point for numerous signaling molecules, as well as regulating flux through many distinct signaling cascades. Although caveolae are found in a variety of cell types, they are most abundant in adipose tissue. This fact has led to the intense study of the function of these organelles in adipocytes. It has now become apparent that effective insulin signaling in the adipocyte may be strictly dependent on localization of at least two insulin-responsive elements to caveolae (insulin receptor and GLUT4), as well as on a direct functional interaction between caveolin-1 and the insulin receptor. We present a critical discussion of these recent findings.

Abstract
The endothelial layer is a key component of the cardiovascular system. Recent evidence indicates that strategies aimed at preserving the endothelium may have important implications in the battle against cardiovascular disease. Nitric oxide remains the critical factor determinant of endothelial function. Understanding the regulatory components involved in nitric oxide production may elucidate novel targets for improving compromised vascular function. The caveolae/caveolin system has recently become of interest due to its ability to regulate endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity. The caveolae/caveolin system is a multifaceted structure in the plasma membrane, which plays an integral role in cellular signaling. Recognizing the potential of this specialized domain may provide the fundamental knowledge to target the endothelium in disease.

Abstract
The identification of caveolin-1 more than a decade ago initiated active research into its role in the formation of caveolae, membrane trafficking, signal transduction pathways, and lipid homeostasis. Although caveolins are ubiquitously expressed, the majority of the available information comes from differentiated cells rich in caveolins, such as fibroblasts, adipocytes, and endothelial cells. During the development of atherosclerosis, macrophages play a pivotal role in the formation of the fatty streak lesions. They take up large amounts of lipids and accumulate in the subendothelial space, forming foam cells that fill up the lesion area. Since caveolins have been implicated in the regulation of cellular cholesterol metabolism in several cell types, it is of interest to examine their potential function in macrophages. In this review, we attempt to summarize current knowledge and views on the role of caveolins in cholesterol metabolism with emphasis on macrophages.

Abstract
The soluble N-terminal ectodomain of amyloid precursor protein (sAPP), resulting from alpha-secretase-mediated proteolytic processing, has been shown to function as a growth factor for epithelial cells, including keratinocytes and thyrocytes. Extracellularly applied sAPP binds to a cell surface receptor and exhibits a patchy binding pattern reminiscent of that observed for raft proteins. Here we show that (i) the receptor-bound sAPP resides in a detergent-insoluble membrane microdomain which cofractionates in density gradients with cholesterol-rich membrane rafts and caveolae; (ii) the sAPP-binding microdomains are different from caveolae; and (iii) sAPP is capable of binding to isolated rafts and inducing tyrosine phosphorylation of some raft proteins. These observations suggest that a novel type of membrane raft is involved in sAPP signaling.

Abstract
The caveolin-scaffolding domain (CSD) is a region in caveolin-1 and 3 that mediates interactions with signaling proteins. In some patients with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, a three amino acid micro deletion in the CSD has been observed. The conformations and aggregation behavior of synthetic peptides, corresponding to the CSD of caveolin-3: DGVWKVSYTTFTVSKYWFY and the sequence where TFT (underlined in the native sequence) has been deleted, have been investigated. Circular dichroism spectra and molecular dynamics simulations indicate distinctive differences in the conformations of the native and mutant sequences. The extent of self-association in aqueous medium is also less pronounced in the case of the peptide with the micro deletion. It is likely that the structural changes arising as a result of TFT deletion distrupt oligomerization and consequently mistargeting and degradation.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is the principal structural protein of caveolae membranes that are found in most cells types, including mammary epithelial cells. Recently, we mapped the human CAV1 gene to a suspected tumor suppressor locus (7q31.1/D7S522) that is deleted in a variety of human cancers, as well as mammary tumors. In addition, the CAV1 gene is mutated (P132L) in up to approximately 16% of human breast cancers. The mechanism by which deletion or mutation of the Cav-1 gene contributes to mammary tumorigenesis remains unknown. To understand the role of the Cav-1 (P132L) mutation in the pathogenesis of human breast cancers, we generated the same mutation in wild-type (WT) Cav-1 and studied its behavior in cultured cells. Interestingly, the P132L mutation leads to formation of misfolded Cav-1 oligomers that are retained within the Golgi complex and are not targeted to caveolae or the plasma membrane. To examine whether the Cav-1 (P132L) mutant behaves in a dominant-negative manner, we next co-transfected cells with Cav-1 (P132L) and WT Cav-1, and evaluated their caveolar targeting. Our results indicate that Cav-1 (P132L) behaves in a dominant-negative manner, causing the mislocalization and intracellular retention of WT Cav-1. Virtually identical results were obtained when Cav-1 (P132L) was stably expressed at physiological levels in a nontransformed human mammary epithelial cell line (hTERT-HME1). These data provide a molecular explanation for why only a single mutated CAV1 allele is found in patients with breast cancer. Thus, we next investigated if functional inactivation of Cav-1 gene expression leads to mammary tumorigenesis in vivo. For this purpose, we performed mammary gland analysis on Cav-1-deficient mice (-/-) that harbor a targeted disruption of the Cav-1 gene (a null mutation). Interestingly, we show that inactivation of Cav-1 gene expression leads to mammary epithelial cell hyperplasia, even in 6-week-old virgin female mice. These data clearly implicate loss of functional Cav-1 in the pathogenesis of mammary epithelial cell hyperplasia, and suggest that Cav-1-null mice represent a novel animal model to study premalignant mammary disease.

Abstract
Specific point mutations in caveolin-3, a predominantly muscle-specific member of the caveolin family, have been implicated in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and in rippling muscle disease. We examined the effect of these mutations on caveolin-3 localization and function. Using two independent assay systems, Raf activation in fibroblasts and neurite extension in PC12 cells, we show that one of the caveolin-3 point mutants, caveolin-3-C71W, specifically inhibits signaling by activated H-Ras but not by K-Ras. To gain insights into the effect of the mutant protein on H-Ras signaling, we examined the localization of the mutant proteins in fibroblastic cells and in differentiating myotubes. Unlike the previously characterized caveolin-3-DGV mutant, the inhibitory caveolin-3-C71W mutant reached the plasma membrane and colocalized with wild type caveolins. In BHK cells, caveolin-3-C71W associated with caveolae and in differentiating muscle cells with the developing T-tubule system. In contrast, the caveolin-3-P104L mutant accumulated in the Golgi complex and had no effect on H-Ras-mediated Raf activation. Inhibition by caveolin-3-C71W was rescued by cholesterol addition, suggesting that the mutant protein perturbs cholesterol-rich raft domains. Thus, we have demonstrated that a naturally occurring caveolin-3 mutation can inhibit signaling involving cholesterol-sensitive raft domains.

Abstract
Caveolae are vesicular invaginations of the plasma membrane. Their formation is strictly dependent on the expression of the caveolin coat proteins. During transit to the plasma membrane, approximately 15 monomers of caveolin-1 assemble into a multivalent homo-oligomer. Caveolae are most likely generated through the subsequent interaction of these caveolin homo-oligomers with one another, with sphingolipids, and with cholesterol. Membrane association of caveolin-1 is critical to this process and is facilitated by an atypical N-terminal membrane attachment domain (residues 82-101), termed N-MAD. To better understand the membrane attachment function of N-MAD, we performed a detailed mutational analysis of the 20 amino acid N-MAD peptide sequence fused to the C-terminus of the soluble reporter green fluorescent protein (GFP). Removal of the distal six residues (KYWFYR) within N-MAD prevents membrane attachment in cells as assessed by hypotonic lysis, detergent solubility, carbonate extraction, and fluorescence microscopy. These six residues (KYWFYR) are sufficient to confer membrane attachment to GFP, an otherwise soluble protein. Both the central aromatic and flanking basic residues in this sequence are required for membrane attachment, as the sequence YWFY does not confer membrane affinity to GFP. Although the KYWFYR sequence within N-MAD facilitates membrane association, we show that the entire N-MAD sequence is required for targeting to lipid rafts/caveolae.

Abstract
Expression of caveolin-1 in the human mammary adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7 causes ligand-independent concentration of oestrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) in the nucleus, and potentiates ligand-independent and ligand-dependent transcription from an oestrogen response element-driven reporter gene. Furthermore, caveolin-1 co-immunoprecipitates with ERalpha [Schlegel, Wang, Katzenellenbogen, Pestell and Lisanti (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 33551-33556]. In the present study we show that caveolin-1 binds directly to ERalpha. This interaction is mediated by residues 82-101 of caveolin-1 (i.e. the caveolin scaffolding domain) and residues 1-282 of ERalpha. The caveolin-binding domain of ERalpha includes the ligand-independent transactivation domain, activation function (AF)-1, but lacks the hormone-binding domain and the ligand-gated transactivation domain, AF-2. In co-transfection studies, caveolin-1 potentiates the transcriptional activation of ERalpha(1-282), a truncation mutant that has intact AF-1 and DNA-binding domains. Since AF-1 activity is regulated largely by phosphorylation we determined that co-expression with caveolin-1 increased the basal phosphorylation of ERalpha(1-282), but blocked the epidermal growth factor-dependent increase in phosphorylation. Indeed, caveolin-1 interacted with and potentiated the transactivation of an ERalpha mutant that cannot be phosphorylated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 [ERalpha(Ser(118)-->Ala)]. Thus caveolin-1 is a novel ERalpha regulator that drives ERK1/2-independent phosphorylation and activation of AF-1.

Abstract
Numerous components of the cAMP-based signaling cascade, namely G-proteins and G- protein coupled receptors, adenylyl cyclase, and protein kinase A (PKA) have been localized to caveolae and shown to be regulated by the caveolar marker proteins, the caveolins. In order to gain mechanistic insights into these processes in vivo, we have assessed the functional interaction of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) with PKA using mutational analysis. As two regions of Cav-1 had previously been implicated in PKA signaling in vitro, we constructed Cav-1 molecules with mutations/deletions in one or both of these domains. Examination of these mutants shows that Cav-1 requires the presence of either the scaffolding domain or the COOH-terminal domain (but not both) to functionally interact with and inhibit PKA. Interestingly, in contrast to the wild-type protein, these Cav-1 mutants are not localized to caveolae microdomains. However, upon coexpression with wild-type Cav-1, a substantial amount of the mutants was recruited to the caveolae membrane fraction. Using the Cav-1 double mutant with both disrupted scaffolding and COOH-terminal domains, we show that wild-type Cav-1's inhibition of PKA signaling can be partially abrogated in a dose-responsive manner; i.e., the mutant acts in a dominant-negative fashion. Thus, this dominant-negative caveolin-1 mutant will be extremely valuable for assessing the functional role of endogenous caveolin-1 in regulating a variety of other signaling cascades.
