Hyodo T, Honda A, Yamate S, Kubo Y, Komatsu M, Shiozaki K. Elucidation of the mechanism of nuclear localization of Mexican tetra Neu4 via bipartite nuclear localization signal and less conserved regions. Biochimie 2023; 212:123-134. [PMID: 37094779 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2023.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023]
Abstract
Nuclear sialoglycans are minor components in the nucleus, and their biological significance was not well understood. Recently, Nile tilapia Neu4 sialidase (OnNeu4) was identified and reported as the first nuclear sialidase in vertebrates. Although OnNeu4 possesses the nuclear localization signal (NLS) required for nuclear localization, other fish Neu4 sialidases, such as zebrafish and Japanese medaka, also possess NLS, but their subcellular localizations are not nucleus. To understand the nuclear localization mechanism of fish Neu4, we focused on Mexican tetra Neu4 (AmNeu4), which, unlike Neu4 in other fishes, has a bipartite NLS. AmNeu4 exhibited a wide range of optimal pH and substrate specificity, and its gene expression was specifically detected in the liver, spleen, and gut in adult fish. AmNeu4, like OnNeu4, exhibited nuclear localization, which was attenuated by importin inhibitor, and deletion of the bipartite NLS completely reduced the nuclear localization. In addition, the conjugation of the bipartite NLS of AmNeu4 made GFP show nuclear localization. To understand the mechanism of nuclear localization of AmNeu4 and OnNeu4, we compared fish Neu4 amino acid sequences and focused on the less conserved region of Neu4 sialidase (LCR). LCR-deletion mutants of AmNeu4 and OnNeu4 showed significantly reduced the nuclear localization. The LCR region in AmNeu4 and OnNeu4 possessed consecutive Ser/Thr. The Neu4 mutants in which consecutive Ser/Thr in LCR were changed to Ala or deleted significantly suppressed the nuclear localization. These results suggest that the nuclear localization of Neu4 in Nile tilapia and Mexican tetra may be regulated by NLS and LCR.

Abstract
Neu1 is a lysosomal glycosidase that catalyzes the removal of sialic acids from glycoconjugates. Although Neu1 sialidase is highly conserved among vertebrates, the role of fish Neu1 is not fully understood because of its unique aquatic living situation. Compared to land animals, fish have a higher chance of bacterial infection, and to understand the role of fish Neu1, the susceptibility of Neu1 knockout zebrafish (Neu1-KO) was evaluated using Edwardsiella piscicida, a fish pathogen. Neu1-KO larvae showed high susceptibility to E. piscicida, despite the activation of macrophages, and presented increased lysosomal signals induced by the accumulation of Sia α2-3 linked oligosaccharides. The accumulation coincided with the signal of the macrophage marker, suggesting that the dysfunction of lysosomes in macrophages would result in a high susceptibility of Neu1-KO to E. piscicida. Chloroquine, an inhibitor of lysosomal degradation, induced high mortality of wild type zebrafish with E. piscicida infection accompanied by increased lysosomal accumulation, similar to Neu1-KO zebrafish. This study revealed that Neu1 sialidase plays a crucial role in the lysosomal degradation of macrophages with a bacterial infection.

Abstract
Zebrafish encodes several sialidases belonging to the NEU3 group, the plasma membrane-associated member of the family with high specificity toward ganglioside substrates. Neu3.1, Neu3.2 and Neu 3.3 have been expressed in E. coli and purified using the pGEX-2T expression system. Although all the enzymes are expressed by bacterial cells, Neu3.1 formed insoluble aggregates that hampered its purification. Neu3.2 and Neu3.3 formed oligomers as demonstrated by gel filtration chromatography experiments. Actually, the first formed a trimer whereas the second a pentamer. Intriguingly, despite relevant degree of sequence identity and similarity, the two enzymes showed peculiar substrate specificities toward gangliosides other than GM3, two glycoproteins and two forms of sialyllactose. Using molecular modelling and the crystal structure of the human cytosolic sialidase NEU2 as a template, the 3D models of the sialidases from zebrafish have been generated. As expected, the 3D models showed the typical six blade beta-propeller typical of sialidases, with an overall highly conserved active site architecture. The differences among the three zebrafish enzymes and human NEU2 are mainly located in the loops connecting the antiparallel beta strands of the propeller core. These portions of the proteins are probably responsible for the differences observed in substrate specificities, as well as in the different subcellular localization and aggregation features observed in solution. Finally, the in silico analysis of RNA-Seq data evidenced a peculiar expression profile of the three genes during embryogenesis, suggesting different roles of these sialidases during development.

The involvement of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Neu4 sialidase in neural differentiation during early ontogenesis. Biochimie 2021; 185:105-116.

Abstract
Neurogenesis is an important process for the formation of the central nervous system during ontogenesis. Mammalian sialidases are involved in neurogenesis through desialylation of sialo-glycoconjugates. However, the significance of fish sialidases, unlike that of mammals, in neurogenesis has not been investigated. The present study focuses on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) because of its unique profiles of sialidases related to enzymatic properties, subcellular localization, and tissue-specific gene expression. First, the fish were cultured under aphotic condition, which is known to cause the delayed development of the retina and brain in various fish. Next, we investigate the effect of aphotic condition on the levels of tilapia sialidases. Our results revealed that the tilapia showed a decrease in the number of ganglion cell in the retina. The expression level of neu4 mRNA is up-regulated in the eyes from tilapia reared in Dark accompanied by the increase of retinal differentiation markers. These results indicated that tilapia Neu4 is involved in retinal development in Nile tilapia. Furthermore, we tried to clarify the function of tilapia Neu4 in the neuronal cells using two neuroblast cell lines (SH-SY5Y and Neuro2a cell lines). Tilapia Neu4 decreased sialic acid level of both nuclear glycoproteins as well as glycolipids. Moreover, tilapia Neu4 accelerated neurite formation in both two neural cell lines and, increased the acetylcholinesterase activity, but it did not affect cell proliferation. Collectively, these results suggest that Neu4 accelerates neurite differentiation during ontogenesis in tilapia.

Identification of novel fish sialidase genes responsible for KDN-cleaving activity. Glycoconj J 2020; 37:745-753.

Abstract
2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononic acid (KDN) is a minor component of sialic acids detected in vertebrates, such as human cancer cells, rat liver, and fish tissues. Although the enzyme activity of KDN-cleaving sialidase (KDN-sialidase) has been detected in rainbow trout, the gene responsible for its expression has not been identified in vertebrates. We evaluated sialidases in human and various fish for their KDN-cleaving activity using an artificial substrate, methylumbelliferyl-KDN (MU-KDN). Four of the human sialidases tested (NEU1, NEU2, NEU3, and NEU4) did not hydrolyze MU-KDN. Although most fish Neu1s showed negligible KDN-sialidase activity, two Neu1b sialidases from Oreochromis niloticus and Astyanax mexicanus, a paralog of Neu1, exhibited a potent KDN-sialidase activity. Further, O. niloticus and Oryzias latipes Neu3a exhibited a drastically high KDN-sialidase activity, while Danio rerio Neu3.1 showed moderate activities and other Neu3 proteins exhibited little activity. All the Neu4 sialidases tested in fish cleaved KDN and Neu5Ac from MU-KDN and MU-Neu5Ac, respectively, with equivalent potential. To our knowledge, this is the first report to identify KDN-sialidase genes in vertebrates and we believe that KDN-sialidase activity could be conserved among fish Neu4s.

Abstract
Mammalian sialidase Neu1 is involved in various physiological functions, including cell adhesion, differentiation, cancer metastasis, and diabetes through lysosomal catabolism and desialylation of glycoproteins at the plasma membrane. Various animal models have been established to further explore the functions of vertebrate Neu1. The present study focused on zebrafish (Danio rerio) belonging to Cypriniformes as an experimental animal model with neu1 gene deficiency. The results revealed that the zebrafish Neu1 desialyzed both α2-3 and α2-6 sialic acid linkages from oligosaccharides and glycoproteins at pH 4.5, and it is highly conserved with other fish species and mammalian Neu1. Furthermore, Neu1-knockout zebrafish (Neu1-KO) was established through CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Neu1-KO fish exhibited slight abnormal embryogenesis with the accumulation of pleural effusion; however, no embryonic lethality was observed. Although Neu1-KO fish were able to be maintained as homozygous, they showed smaller body length and weight than the wild-type (WT) fish, and muscle atrophy and curvature of the vertebra were observed in adult Neu1-KO fish (8 months). The expression patterns of myod and myog transcription factors regulating muscle differentiation varied between Neu1-KO and WT fish embryo. Expression of lysosomal-related genes, including ctsa, lamp1a, and tfeb were up-regulated in adult Neu1-KO muscle as compared with WT. Furthermore, the expression pattern of genes involved in bone remodeling (runx2a, runx2b, and mmp9) was decreased in Neu1-KO fish. These phenotypes were quite similar to those of Neu1-KO mice and human sialidosis patients, indicating the effectiveness of the established Neu1-KO zebrafish for the study of vertebrate Neu1 sialidase.

Abstract
Fish store triglycerides (TGs) in the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue and TGs constitute an energy source upon metabolic demand. The liver generally plays important roles in lipid metabolism. Recent studies have suggested the possibility of hepatic lipid metabolic regulation by ganglioside in mammals; however, ganglioside-mediated regulation of lipid metabolism is unclear in fish. This study aimed to clarify the role of ganglioside in fish TG metabolism, with particular reference to Neu3a, a ganglioside-specific sialidase expressed in the fish liver. Under fasting conditions, there was a decrease in hepatic TG contents, and neu3a mRNA level was significantly up-regulated in the medaka liver. To determine the role of Neu3a in hepatic lipid metabolism, Neu3a stable transfectants were generated using fish liver Hepa-T1 cells. After treating Neu3a cells with oleic acid, reduction of TG was detected in comparison with the mock cells. Furthermore, lipase activity was greater in Neu3a cells than in mock cells. To examine which ganglioside regulates these events, alterations of ganglioside composition in Neu3a cells were analyzed. Neu3a cells exhibited increased level of lactosylceramide (LacCer), a Neu3 enzymatic product originating from GM3. In addition, exposure of LacCer toward Hepa-T1 cells resulted in an increase of neutral lipase activity. The present results suggest that Neu3a up-regulation in medaka under fasting condition accelerates hepatic TG degradation for energy production via GM3 desialylation.

Abstract
Sialic acids are important molecule with high structural diversity. They are known to occur in higher animals such as Echinoderms, Hemichordata, Cephalochorda, and Vertebrata and also in other animals such as Platyhelminthes, Cephalopoda, and Crustaceae. Plants are known to lack sialic acid. But they are reported to occur in viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. Deaminated neuraminic acid although occurs in vertebrates and bacteria, is reported to occur in abundance in the lower vertebrates. Sialic acids are mostly located in terminal ends of glycoproteins and glycolipids, capsular and tissue polysialic acids, bacterial lipooligosaccharides/polysaccharides, and in different forms that dictate their role in biology. Sialic acid play important roles in human physiology of cell-cell interaction, communication, cell-cell signaling, carbohydrate-protein interactions, cellular aggregation, development processes, immune reactions, reproduction, and in neurobiology and human diseases in enabling the infection process by bacteria and virus, tumor growth and metastasis, microbiome biology, and pathology. It enables molecular mimicry in pathogens that allows them to escape host immune responses. Recently sialic acid has found role in therapeutics. In this chapter we have highlighted the (i) diversity of sialic acid, (ii) their occurrence in the diverse life forms, (iii) sialylation and disease, and (iv) sialic acid and therapeutics.

Abstract
Sialidase cleaves sialic acids on the extracellular cell surface as well as inside the cell and is necessary for normal long-term potentiation (LTP) at mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal cell synapses and for hippocampus-dependent spatial memory. Here, we investigated in detail the role of sialidase in memory processing. Sialidase activity measured with 4-methylumbelliferyl-α-d-N-acetylneuraminic acid (4MU-Neu5Ac) or 5-bromo-4-chloroindol-3-yl-α-d-N-acetylneuraminic acid (X-Neu5Ac) and Fast Red Violet LB was increased by high-K+-induced membrane depolarization. Sialidase activity was also increased by chemical LTP induction with forskolin and activation of BDNF signaling, non-NMDA receptors, or NMDA receptors. The increase in sialidase activity with neural excitation appears to be caused not by secreted sialidase or by an increase in sialidase expression but by a change in the subcellular localization of sialidase. Astrocytes as well as neurons are also involved in the neural activity-dependent increase in sialidase activity. Sialidase activity visualized with a benzothiazolylphenol-based sialic acid derivative (BTP3-Neu5Ac), a highly sensitive histochemical imaging probe for sialidase activity, at the CA3 stratum lucidum of rat acute hippocampal slices was immediately increased in response to LTP-inducible high-frequency stimulation on a time scale of seconds. To obtain direct evidence for sialic acid removal on the extracellular cell surface during neural excitation, the extracellular free sialic acid level in the hippocampus was monitored using in vivo microdialysis. The free sialic acid level was increased by high-K+-induced membrane depolarization. Desialylation also occurred during hippocampus-dependent memory formation in a contextual fear-conditioning paradigm. Our results show that neural activity-dependent desialylation by sialidase may be involved in hippocampal memory processing.

Abstract
Sialic acid bound to glycans in glycolipids and glycoproteins is essential for synaptic plasticity and memory. Sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18), which has 4 isozymes including Neu1, Neu2, Neu3 and Neu4, regulates the sialylation level of glycans by removing sialic acid from sialylglycoconjugate. In the present study, we investigated the distribution of sialidase activity in rat hippocampus and the role of sialidase in hippocampal memory processing. We previously developed a highly sensitive histochemical imaging probe for sialidase activity, BTP3-Neu5Ac. BTP3-Neu5Ac was cleaved efficiently by rat Neu2 and Neu4 at pH 7.3 and by Neu1 and Neu3 at pH 4.6. When a rat hippocampal acute slice was stained with BTP3-Neu5Ac at pH 7.3, mossy fiber terminal fields showed relatively intense sialidase activity. Thus, the role of sialidase in the synaptic plasticity was investigated at mossy fiber terminal fields. The long-term potentiation (LTP) at mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal cell synapses was impaired by 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid (DANA), a sialidase inhibitor. DANA also failed to decrease paired-pulse facilitation after LTP induction. We also investigated the role of sialidase in hippocampus-dependent spatial memory by using the Morris water maze. The escape latency time to reach the platform was prolonged by DANA injection into the hippocampal CA3 region or by knockdown of Neu4 without affecting motility. The results show that the regulation of sialyl signaling by Neu4 is involved in hippocampal memory processing.

NEU3 inhibitory effect of naringin suppresses cancer cell growth by attenuation of EGFR signaling through GM3 ganglioside accumulation. Eur J Pharmacol 2016; 782:21-9. [PMID: 27105818 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2016.04.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2016] [Revised: 04/15/2016] [Accepted: 04/15/2016] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Naringin, which is one of the flavonoids contained in citrus fruits, is well known to possess various healthy functions to humans. It has been reported that naringin suppresses cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Recently, the roles of glycoconjugates, such as gangliosides, in cancer cells have been focused because of their regulatory effects of malignant phenotypes. Here, to clarify the roles of naringin in the negative-regulation of cancer cell growth, the alteration of glycoconjugates induced by naringin exposure and its significance on cell signaling were investigated. Human cancer cells, HeLa and A549, were exposed to various concentrations of naringin. Naringin treatment induced the suppression of cell growth toward HeLa and A549 cells accompanied with an increase of apoptotic cells. In naringin-exposed cells, GM3 ganglioside was drastically increased compared to the GM3 content prior to the treatment. Furthermore, naringin inhibited NEU3 sialidase, a GM3 degrading glycosidase. Similarly, NEU3 inhibition activities were also detected by other flavanone, such as hesperidin and neohesperidin dihydrocalcone, but their aglycones showed less inhibitions. Naringin-treated cancer cells showed suppressed EGFR and ERK phosphorylation levels. These results suggest a novel mechanism of naringin in the suppression of cancer cell growth through the alteration of glycolipids. NEU3 inhibitory effect of naringin induced GM3 accumulation in HeLa and A549 cells, leading the attenuation of EGFR/ERK signaling accompanied with a decrease in cell growth.

Abstract
Edwardsiella tarda is one of the major pathogenic bacteria affecting both marine and freshwater fish species. Sialidase NanA expressed endogenously in E. tarda is glycosidase removing sialic acids from glycoconjugates. Recently, the relationship of NanA sialidase activity to E. tarda infection has been reported, however, the mechanism with which sialidase NanA aids the pathogenicity of E. tarda remained unclear. Here, we comprehensively determined the biochemical properties of NanA towards various substrates in vitro to provide novel insights on the potential NanA target molecule at the host cell. GAKS cell pretreated with recombinant NanA showed increased susceptibility to E. tarda infection. Moreover, sialidase inhibitor treated E. tarda showed a significantly reduced ability to infect GAKS cells. These results indicate that NanA-induced desialylation of cell surface glycoconjugates is essential for the initial step of E. tarda infection. Among the natural substrates, NanA exhibited the highest activity towards 3-sialyllactose, α2-3 linked sialic acid carrying sialoglycoconjugates. Supporting this finding, intact GAKS cell membrane exposed to recombinant NanA showed changes of glycoconjugates only in α2-3 sialo-linked glycoproteins, but not in glycolipids and α2-6 sialo-linked glycoproteins. Lectin staining of cell surface glycoprotein provided further evidence that α2-3 sialo-linkage of the N-linked glycoproteins was the most plausible target of NanA sialidase. To confirm the significance of α2-3 sialo-linkage desialylation for E. tarda infection, HeLa cells which possessed lower amount of α2-3 sialo-linkage glycoprotein were used for infection experiment along with GAKS cells. As a result, infection of HeLa cells by E. tarda was significantly reduced when compared to GAKS cells. Furthermore, E. tarda infection was significantly inhibited by mannose pretreatment suggesting that the bacterium potentially recognizes and binds to mannose or mannose containing chains following desialylation. Together, these results suggest that E. tarda may employ endogenous NanA to desialylate α2-3 glycoproteins on host cells, thus revealing one of the potential binding molecules during infection.
