Abstract
Mechanically activated, slowly adapting currents in sensory neurons have been linked to noxious mechanosensation. The conotoxin NMB-1 (noxious mechanosensation blocker-1) blocks such currents and inhibits mechanical pain. Using a biotinylated form of NMB-1 in mass spectrometry analysis, we identified 67 binding proteins in sensory neurons and a sensory neuron-derived cell line, of which the top candidate was annexin A6, a membrane-associated calcium-binding protein. Annexin A6-deficient mice showed increased sensitivity to mechanical stimuli. Sensory neurons from these mice showed increased activity of the cation channel Piezo2, which mediates a rapidly adapting mechano-gated current linked to proprioception and touch, and a decrease in mechanically activated, slowly adapting currents. Conversely, overexpression of annexin A6 in sensory neurons inhibited rapidly adapting currents that were partially mediated by Piezo2. Furthermore, overexpression of annexin A6 in sensory neurons attenuated mechanical pain in a mouse model of osteoarthritis, a disease in which mechanically evoked pain is particularly problematic. These data suggest that annexin A6 can be exploited to inhibit chronic mechanical pain.

Abstract
The spectrin-based membrane skeleton is crucial for the mechanical stability and resilience of erythrocytes. It mainly contributes to membrane integrity, protein organization and trafficking. Two transmembrane protein macro-complexes that are linked together by spectrin tetramers play a crucial role in attaching the membrane skeleton to the cell membrane, but they are not exclusive. Considerable experimental data have shown that direct interactions between spectrin and membrane lipids are important for cell membrane cohesion. Spectrin is a multidomain, multifunctional protein with several distinctive structural regions, including lipid-binding sites within CH tandem domains, a PH domain, and triple helical segments, which are excellent examples of ligand specificity hidden in a regular repetitive structure, as recently shown for the ankyrin-sensitive lipid-binding domain of beta spectrin. In this review, we summarize the state of knowledge about interactions between spectrin and membrane lipids.

Abstract
Lung surfactant secretion in alveolar type II cells occurs following lamellar body fusion with plasma membrane. Annexin A7 is a Ca2+-dependent membrane-binding protein that is postulated to promote membrane fusion during exocytosis in some cell types including type II cells. Since annexin A7 preferably binds to lamellar body membranes, we postulated that specific lipids could modify the mode of annexin A7 interaction with membranes and its membrane fusion activity. Initial studies with phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylserine and other lipids showed that certain lipids affected protein interaction with vesicle membranes as determined by change in protein tryptophan fluorescence, protein interaction with trans membranes, and by protein sensitivity to limited proteolysis. The presence of signaling lipids, diacylglycerol or phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, as minor components also modified the lipid vesicle effect on these characteristics and membrane fusion activity of annexin A7. In vitro incubation of lamellar bodies with diacylglycerol or phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate caused their enrichment with either lipid, and increased the annexin A7 and Ca2+-mediated fusion of lamellar bodies. Treatment of isolated lung lamellar bodies with phosphatidylinositol- or phosphatidylcholine phospholipase C to increase diacylglycerol, without or with preincubation with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, augmented the fusion activity of annexin A7. Thus, increased diacylglycerol in lamellar bodies following cell stimulation with secretagogues may enhance membrane fusion activity of annexin A7.

Abstract
Annexins are a family of membrane binding proteins that are characterized by a hypervariable amino terminus followed by a series of highly conserved Ca2+-phospholipid binding domains. Annexins function by binding to anionic phospholipid surfaces in a Ca2+-dependent manner. They self-associate to form trimers which further assemble into sheets that cover the membrane surface and alter properties such as fluidity and permeability. This submembranous skeleton alters integral protein functions such as ion transport properties and shields the surface from phospholipid binding proteins such as phospholipases and protein kinase C. Transgenic mouse hearts overexpressing wild type annexin VI (AnxVI673), a dominant-negative truncated annexin VI (residues 1-129, Anx129) and an annexin VI-null mouse (AnxVI-/-) have implicated the protein as a regulator of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis which affects cardiac function.

Abstract
Two algorithms of decomposition of composite protein tryptophan fluorescence spectra were developed based on the possibility that the shape of elementary spectral component could be accurately described by a uniparametric log-normal function. The need for several mathematically different algorithms is dictated by the fact that decomposition of spectra into widely overlapping smooth components is a typical incorrect problem. Only the coincidence of components obtained with various algorithms can guarantee correctness and reliability of results. In this paper we propose the following algorithms of decomposition: (1) the SImple fitting procedure using the root-Mean-Square criterion (SIMS) operating with either individual emission spectra or sets of spectra measured with various quencher concentrations; and (2) the pseudo-graphic analytical procedure using a PHase plane in coordinates of normalized emission intensities at various wavelengths (wavenumbers) and REsolving sets of spectra measured with various Quencher concentrations (PHREQ). The actual experimental noise precludes decomposition of protein spectra into more than three components.

Abstract
The physical causes for wide variation of Stokes shift values in emission spectra of tryptophan fluorophores in proteins have been proposed in the model of discrete states (Burstein, E. A., N. S. Vedenkina, and M. N. Ivkova. 1973. Photochem. Photobiol. 18:263-279; Burstein, E. A. 1977a. Intrinsic Protein Luminescence (The Nature and Application). In Advances in Science and Technology (Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki), Biophysics Vol. 7. VINITI, Moscow [In Russian]; Burstein, E. A. 1983. Molecular Biology (Moscow) 17:455-467 [In Russian; English translation]). It was assumed that the existence of the five most probable spectral classes of emitting tryptophan residues and differences among the classes were analyzed in terms of various combinations of specific and universal interactions of excited fluorophores with their environment. The development of stable algorithms of decomposition of tryptophan fluorescence spectra into log-normal components gave us an opportunity to apply two mathematically different algorithms, SImple fitting with Mean-Square criterion (SIMS) and PHase-plot-based REsolving with Quenchers (PHREQ) for the decomposition of a representative set of emission spectra of proteins. Here we present the results of decomposition of tryptophan emission spectra of >100 different proteins, some in various structural states (native and denatured, in complexes with ions or organic ligands, in various pH-induced conformations, etc.). Analysis of the histograms of occurrence of >300 spectral log-normal components with various maximum positions confirmed the statistical discreteness of several states of emitting tryptophan fluorophores in proteins.

Abstract
Annexin (Anx) VI has been implicated in mediating the endosome aggregation and vesicle fusion in secreting epithelia during exocytosis. In addition, AnxVI of porcine liver is an ATP-binding protein, and ATP in vitro modulates its interaction with membranes and cytoskeletal elements (Bandorowicz-Pikuła and Awasthi, FEBS Lett. 409 (1997) 300-306). In this study, we examined the effect of ATP on phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) aggregation in the presence of annexin and on calcium-dependent binding of protein to liposomes, and found that ATP stimulates the former process, although it increases the calcium concentration necessary for half-maximal binding of AnxVI to membranes. These results were corroborated by the experiments with fluorescent analog of ATP, in which binding of ATP to AnxVI was affected by binding of Ca2+ and/or phospholipids to the protein. Taken together they favour an idea of ATP being a functional ligand for AnxVI, which even in the relative absence of Ca2+ may modulate interaction of AnxVI with PtdSer-enriched membranes.

Abstract
Annexins comprise a family of proteins that exhibit a Ca2+-dependent binding to phospholipid membranes that is possibly relevant to their in vivo function. Although substantial structural information about the ternary (protein/lipid/Ca2+) interaction in bulk phases has been derived from a variety of techniques, little is known about the temporal and spatial organization of ternary monolayer films. The effect of Ca2+ on the interactions between annexin V (AxV) and anionic DMPA monolayers was therefore investigated using three complementary approaches: surface pressure measurements, infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). In the absence of Ca2+, the injection of AxV into an aqueous subphase beneath a DMPA monolayer initially in a liquid expanded phase produced BAM images revealing domains of protein presumably surrounded by liquid-expanded lipid. The protein-rich areas expanded with time, resulting in reduction of the area available to the DMPA and, eventually, in the formation of condensed lipid domains in spatial regions separate from the protein film. There was thus no evidence for a specific binary AxV/lipid interaction. In contrast, injection of AxV/Ca2+ at a total Ca2+ concentration of 10 microM beneath a DMPA monolayer revealed no pure protein domains, but rather the slow formation of pinhead structures. This was followed by slow (>2 h) rigidification of the whole film accompanied by an increase in surface pressure, and connection of solid domains to form a structure resembling strings of pearls. These changes were characteristic of this specific ternary interaction. Acyl chain conformational order of the DMPA, as measured by nu(sym)CH2 near 2850 cm(-1), was increased in both the AxV/DMPA and AxV/DMPA/Ca2+ monolayers compared to either DMPA monolayers alone or in the presence of Ca2+. The utility of the combined structural and temporal information derived from these three complementary techniques for the study of monolayers in situ at the air/water interface is evident from this work.

Abstract
Porcine liver annexin VI (AnxVI) of Mr 68.000 is an ATP-binding protein as evidenced by specific and saturable UV-dependent labelling with 8-azido-[gamma-32P]ATP or the fluorescent analog of ATP, 2'-(or 3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine triphosphate and by binding of AnxVI to ATP-agarose. These characteristics of purified AnxVI were used to identify and characterize preliminary nucleotide-binding domain of the protein. AnxVI labelled with 8-azido-ATP was subjected to limited proteolysis and the proteolytic fragments of AnxVI that retained the covalently-bound nucleotide were separated by means of gel electrophoresis and visualized by exposure of the gel to a phosphor storage screen. It was found that the AnxVI proteolytic fragments of Mr 34-36.000 and smaller retained the nucleotide. In a reciprocal experiment, AnxVI was digested with proteolytic enzymes and in an ATP eluate from an ATP-agarose column protein fragments of similar Mr to these labelled with 8-azido-ATP were identified. The extent of AnxVI labelling with 8-azido-ATP and the distribution of proteolytic fragments varied upon calcium concentration. These results lead to the conclusion that there is a nucleotide-binding domain within the AnxVI molecule that is functionally similar to the nucleotide-binding domains of other nucleotide-binding proteins. The nucleotide-binding domain is located close to the tryptophan residue 343 of AnxVI and in close vicinity to the Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding sites of the protein. This is confirmed by the observation that the tryptophan fluorescence intensity of AnxVI decreases in the presence of a fluorescence analog of ATP in a calcium-dependent manner, due to the quenching properties of the nucleotide and/or fluorescence energy transfer from AnxVI tryptophan to fluorophore. Both processes were modulated by the presence of phospholipid molecules.

Abstract
With the use of ATP analogues, we have found that porcine liver annexin (Anx) IV can be covalently labelled with 8-azido[gamma-32P]-ATP in the presence of Ca2+ (Kd 4.2 microM) and that the labelling is prevented by asolectin/cholesterol liposomes or chelation of calcium ions. On the other hand, non-covalent binding of 2'-(or 3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-ATP) to AnxIV occurs optimally in the presence of liposomes and Ca2+ (Kd 7 microM). These observations were further confirmed by the results of intrinsic fluorescence quenching of AnxIV with various nucleotides, suggesting the existence of a relationship between Ca(2+)-, phospholipid- and ATP-binding sites within the annexin molecule. The interaction of AnxIV with nucleotides does not significantly affect its in vitro properties concerning the binding to phosphatidylserine (PS) monolayers.

Abstract
Annexin VI is a 68-kDa calcium-, phospholipid-, and cytoskeletal-element-binding protein, which has been implicated in various processes, including calcium release and sequestration in calcifying cartilage, in a receptor-mediated endocytosis in human fibroblasts, and in secretion from chromaffin granules. In these processes it was found that, in addition to Ca2+ and annexin, the presence of ATP is also a prerequisite. In the present report we show that annexin VI binds ATP and the binding of nucleotide to protein is accompanied by quenching of an intrinsic fluorescence of annexin VI, which was found to be specific for 2'-(or 3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate, GTP and ATP, and dependent on the annexin conformation. The nucleotide-binding site within an annexin VI molecule is likely to be close to the tryptophan-containing domain of annexin VI. We propose that ATP plays the role of a physiological ligand for annexin VI, and its binding to annexin VI may represent an alternative cellular mechanism for the regulation of annexin-membrane interactions coupled to overall energy transitions in the cell.

Abstract
Annexin VI from porcine liver can be photoaffinity-labeled with 8-azido-[gamma-32P]ATP in a concentration-dependent, saturable manner. The extent of labeling varied with the concentration of calcium. The dissociation constant for the nucleotide was found to be in the range reported for ATP-binding proteins. The ATP analog, 2'-(or 3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-adenosine 5'-triphosphate, also bound to AnxVI, as indicated by shift in its fluorescence spectra in the presence of protein. Any significant 8-azido-ATP or TNP-ATP binding was not observed with AnxIV. ATP modulated the binding of AnxVI to erythrocyte membrane and increased the Ca2+ concentration required for half-maximal binding of AnxVI to F-actin.

Abstract
Annexins, Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding proteins are known to bind to artificial and biological membranes in a calcium-dependent manner. However, the precise mechanism of the annexin-membrane interactions still remains to be studied in detail. In this paper we describe the results of studies on the interactions of the annexin/Ca complexes with phospholipids, obtained by the Wilhelmy balance method of assessing the surface pressure of a phospholipid monolayer. We show that the annexin IV/Ca as well as annexin VI/Ca complexes significantly reduce the surface pressure of a phosphatidylserine monolayer, when its initial value is close to collapse pressure. The effect is highly specific for monolayers composed of phosphatidylserine and strongly sensitive to pH and ionic strength. The most pronounced changes have been observed at pH 7.0-7.5, at a protein/Ca molar ratio of 1:2 for annexin IV and 1:4 for annexin VI. In the presence of sodium chloride at concentrations exceeding 400mM this effect was almost completely abolished. The obtained results point to the mainly electrostatic character of the annexin/phosphatidylserine interactions. In addition, using large multilamellar lipid vesicles and serine proteases, we demonstrate that annexins, when bound in a ternary complex with phospholipids and calcium ions, are partially protected against proteolysis. Our observation that annexin molecules, complexed with calcium ions, are protected against proteolytic attack in the presence of PS liposomes does not have to be necessarily explained in terms of partial penetration of protein within the membrane bilayer.

Abstract
This study is concerned with the determination of the function of the 68kDa calcium-binding protein, annexin VI. Studies on the structure and regulation of the gene include a detailed analysis of annexin VI expressed heterologously in human A431 carcinoma cells. We have recently discovered that annexin VI is subject to a novel growth dependent post-translational modification. Interestingly, the protein exerts a negative effect on A431 cells. This effect was manifested as a partial reversal of the transformed phenotype. We are currently exploring the hypothesis that the post-translational modification of annexin VI is required for sub-cellular targeting, and that correct localisation within the cell is essential for function.

Abstract
Calcium-dependent binding to phospholipid membranes is closely associated with annexin functional properties. In these studies, 31P- and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments have been performed to study the effects of binding of recombinant rat annexin V to sonicated small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs). High-resolution 31P-NMR spectra of SUVs containing mixtures of synthetic phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) show resolvable resonances corresponding to the inner-leaflet PA, outer-leaflet PA, and PC phosphoryl groups. When annexin binding occurs, the outer-leaflet PA 31P resonance shifts while that of PC is unaffected, consistent with selective binding of the protein to the phosphoryl moiety of the PA component. Further, annexin V binding to membrane outer-leaflet phospholipids has a measurable effect on inner-leaflet phospholipids of intact vesicles. 1H-NMR T1 relaxation measurements of SUVs containing acyl-chain-perdeuterated PC show no effects on the PA hydrocarbon-chain segmental motions upon annexin binding. Circular dichroism measurements indicate that the protein does not undergo a significant conformational change upon binding to the vesicles. The observed NMR changes do not correspond to proton or calcium gradients, nor to lateral segregation of extended patches of homogeneous phospholipids. The combined evidence suggests that selective, peripheral annexin-membrane interactions influence the environment of the inner vesicular surface. The mechanism proposed is a protein-induced change in vesicle morphology that corresponds to reduced curvature.
