[PMID: 38598291 PMCID: PMC11238084 DOI: 10.1091/mbc.e23-11-0457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Neurons are polarized and typically extend multiple dendrites and one axon. To maintain polarity, vesicles carrying dendritic proteins are arrested upon entering the axon. To determine whether kinesin regulation is required for terminating anterograde axonal transport, we overexpressed the dendrite-selective kinesin KIF13A. This caused mistargeting of dendrite-selective vesicles to the axon and a loss of dendritic polarity. Polarity was not disrupted if the kinase MARK2/Par1b was coexpressed. MARK2/Par1b is concentrated in the proximal axon, where it maintains dendritic polarity-likely by phosphorylating S1371 of KIF13A, which lies in a canonical 14-3-3 binding motif. We probed for interactions of KIF13A with 14-3-3 isoforms and found that 14-3-3β and 14-3-3ζ bound KIF13A. Disruption of MARK2 or 14-3-3 activity by small molecule inhibitors caused a loss of dendritic polarity. These data show that kinesin regulation is integral for dendrite-selective transport. We propose a new model in which KIF13A that moves dendrite-selective vesicles in the proximal axon is phosphorylated by MARK2. Phosphorylated KIF13A is then recognized by 14-3-3, which causes dissociation of KIF13A from the vesicle and termination of transport. These findings define a new paradigm for the regulation of vesicle transport by localized kinesin tail phosphorylation, to restrict dendrite-selective vesicles from entering the axon.

Abstract
Neurons are polarized cells that require accurate membrane trafficking to maintain distinct protein complements at dendritic and axonal membranes. The Kinesin-3 family members KIF13A and KIF13B are thought to mediate dendrite-selective transport, but the mechanism by which they are recruited to polarized vesicles and the differences in the specific trafficking role of each KIF13 have not been defined. We performed live-cell imaging in cultured hippocampal neurons and found that KIF13A is a dedicated dendrite-selective kinesin. KIF13B confers two different transport modes, dendrite- and axon-selective transport. Both KIF13s are maintained at the trans-Golgi network by interactions with the heterotetrameric adaptor protein complex AP-1. Interference with KIF13 binding to AP-1 resulted in disruptions to both dendrite- and axon-selective trafficking. We propose that AP-1 is the molecular link between the sorting of polarized cargoes into vesicles and the recruitment of kinesins that confer polarized transport.

Vesicle-mediated transport-related genes are prognostic predictors and are associated with tumor immunity in lung adenocarcinoma. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1034992.

Abstract
Background Globally, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. It is a progressive disorder that arises from multiple genetic and environmental factors. Dysregulated expression of vesicle-mediated transport-related genes (VMTRGs) have been reported in several cancers. However, the prognostic significance of VMTRGs in LUAD has yet to be established. Methods The VMTRG profiling data for 482 LUAD patients and 59 normal controls were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Altas (TCGA). Univariate Cox regression and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression analyses were performed to construct and optimize the risk model. Several GEO datasets were used to validate the risk model. The roles of these genes were investigated via the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses. Differences in immune cell infiltrations between risk groups were evaluated using five algorithms. "pRRophetic" was used to investigate anti-cancer drug sensitivities in two groups. Expression of these five genes in LUAD samples and adjacent normal tissues were evaluated by qRT-PCR. Colony formation and wound healing assays were performed to assess the significance of CNIH1 and AP3S1 in LUAD cells. Results We identified 85 prognosis-associated VMTRGs that could be constructed a risk model for LUAD patients, indicating their potential importance in LUAD development. The risk model including the five VMTRGs (CNIH1, KIF20A, GALNT2, GRIA1, and AP3S1) was associated with clinical outcomes. Tumor stage and risk score were found to be independent prognostic factors for LUAD patients. The five VMTRGs were also correlated with activation of the Notch and p53 signaling pathways. The risk model was significantly associated with immune responses and with high-level expression of immune checkpoints. High-risk group patients were more sensitive to several chemotherapeutic drugs and Lapatinib. Furthermore, CNIH1 and AP3S1 promoted LUAD cell growth and migration in vitro. Conclusion We constructed a VMTRG-based risk model for effective prediction of prognostic outcomes for LUAD patients. The risk model was associated with immune infiltration levels. These five hub genes are potential targets for immune therapy combined with chemotherapy in LUAD.

Abstract
Kinesin-driven organelle transport is crucial for neuron development and maintenance, yet the mechanisms by which kinesins specifically bind their organelle cargoes remain undefined. In contrast to other transport kinesins, the neuronal function and specific organelle adaptors of heterodimeric Kinesin-2 family members KIF3AB and KIF3AC remain unknown. We developed a novel microscopy-based assay to define protein-protein interactions in intact neurons. The experiments found that both KIF3AB and KIF3AC bind kinesin-associated protein (KAP). These interactions are mediated by the distal C-terminal tail regions and not the coiled-coil domain. We used live-cell imaging in cultured hippocampal neurons to define the localization and trafficking parameters of KIF3AB and KIF3AC organelle populations. We discovered that KIF3AB/KAP and KIF3AC/KAP bind the same organelle populations and defined their transport parameters in axons and dendrites. The results also show that ∼12% of KIF3 organelles contain the RNA-binding protein adenomatous polyposis coli. These data point toward a model in which KIF3AB and KIF3AC use KAP as their neuronal organelle adaptor and that these kinesins mediate transport of a range of organelles.

Abstract
Propofol is a widely used general anesthetic, yet the understanding of its cellular effects is fragmentary. General anesthetics are not as innocuous as once believed and have a wide range of molecular targets that include kinesin motors. Propofol, ketamine, and etomidate reduce the distances that Kinesin-1 KIF5 and Kinesin-2 KIF3 travel along microtubules in vitro. These transport kinesins are highly expressed in the CNS, and their dysfunction leads to a range of human pathologies including neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. While in vitro data suggest that general anesthetics may disrupt kinesin transport in neurons, this hypothesis remains untested. Here we find that propofol treatment of hippocampal neurons decreased vesicle transport mediated by Kinesin-1 KIF5 and Kinesin-3 KIF1A ∼25-60%. Propofol treatment delayed delivery of the KIF5 cargo NgCAM to the distal axon. Because KIF1A participates in axonal transport of presynaptic vesicles, we tested whether prolonged propofol treatment affects synaptic vesicle fusion mediated by VAMP2. The data show that propofol-induced transport delay causes a significant decrease in vesicle fusion in distal axons. These results are the first to link a propofol-induced delay in neuronal trafficking to a decrease in axonal vesicle fusion, which may alter physiological function during and after anesthesia.
