Abstract
Plasma membrane damage and rupture occurs frequently in cells, and holes must be sealed rapidly to ensure homeostasis and cell survival. The membrane repair machinery is known to involve recruitment of curvature-inducing annexin proteins, but the connection between membrane remodeling and hole closure is poorly described. The induction of curvature by repair proteins leads to the possible formation of a membrane neck around the hole as a key intermediate structure before sealing. We formulate a theoretical model of equilibrium neck shapes to examine the potential connection to a repair mechanism. Using variational calculus, the shape equations for the membrane near a hole are formulated and solved numerically. The system is described under a condition of fixed area, and a shooting approach is applied to fulfill the boundary conditions at the free membrane edge. A state diagram of neck shapes is produced describing the variation in neck morphology with respect to the membrane area. Two distinct types of necks are predicted, one with conformations curved beyond π existing at positive excess area, whereas flat neck conformations (curved below π) have negative excess area. The results indicate that in cells, the supply of additional membrane area and a change in edge tension is linked to the formation of narrow and curved necks. Such necks may be susceptible to passive or actively induced membrane fission as a possible mechanism for hole sealing during membrane repair in cells.

Pandey MP, Telles de Souza PC, Pezeshkian W, Khandelia H. Bending of a lipid membrane edge by annexin A5 trimers. Biophys J 2024; 123:1006-1014. [PMID: 38486451 PMCID: PMC11052700 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2024.03.019] [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: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Plasma membrane damage occurs in healthy cells and more frequently in cancer cells where high growth rates and metastasis result in frequent membrane damage. The annexin family of proteins plays a key role in membrane repair. Annexins are recruited at the membrane injury site by Ca+2 and repair the damaged membrane in concert with several other proteins. Annexin A4 (ANXA4) and ANXA5 form trimers at the bilayer surface, and previous simulations show that the trimers induce high local negative membrane curvature on a flat bilayer. The membrane-curvature-inducing property of ANXA5 is presumed to be vital to the membrane repair mechanism. A previously proposed descriptive model hypothesizes that ANXA5-mediated curvature force is utilized at the free edge of the membrane at a wound site to pull the wound edges together, resulting in the formation of a "neck"-shaped structure, which, when combined with a constriction force exerted by ANXA6, leads to membrane repair. The molecular details and mechanisms of repair remain unknown, in part because the membrane edge is a transient structure that is difficult to investigate both experimentally and computationally. For the first time, we investigate the impact of ANXA5 near a membrane edge, which is modeled by a bicelle under periodic boundary conditions. ANXA5 trimers induce local curvature on the membrane leading to global bending of the bicelle. The global curvature depends on the density of annexins on the bicelle, and the curvature increases with the ANXA5 concentration until it reaches a plateau. The simulations suggest that not only do annexins induce local membrane curvature, but they can change the overall shape of a free-standing membrane. We also demonstrate that ANXA5 trimers reduce the rate of phosphatidylserine lipid diffusion from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet along the edge of the bicelle. In this way, membrane-bound annexins can potentially delay the apoptotic signal triggered by the presence of phosphatidylserine lipids in the outer leaflet, thus biding time for repair of the membrane hole. Our findings provide new insights into the role of ANXA5 at the edges of the membrane (the injury site) and support the curvature-constriction model of membrane repair.

Abstract
The cell membrane is frequently subjected to damage, either through physical or chemical means. The swift restoration of the cell membrane's integrity is crucial to prevent the leakage of intracellular materials and the uncontrolled influx of extracellular ions. Consequently, wound repair plays a vital role in cell survival, akin to the importance of DNA repair. The mechanisms involved in wound repair encompass a series of events, including ion influx, membrane patch formation, endocytosis, exocytosis, recruitment of the actin cytoskeleton, and the elimination of damaged membrane sections. Despite the absence of a universally accepted general model, diverse molecular models have been proposed for wound repair in different organisms. Traditional wound methods not only damage the cell membrane but also impact intracellular structures, including the underlying cortical actin networks, microtubules, and organelles. In contrast, the more recent improved laserporation selectively targets the cell membrane. Studies on Dictyostelium cells utilizing this method have introduced a novel perspective on the wound repair mechanism. This review commences by detailing methods for inducing wounds and subsequently reviews recent developments in the field.

Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2023; 21:3796-3809.

Abstract
Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a multifunctional calcium-binding protein that can bind to membrane phospholipids. Under high-calcium condition, ANXA1 expression increases on renal epithelial cell surface, leading to enhanced adhesion of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal (stone material) onto the cells. To regulate various cellular processes, ANXA1 interacts with many other intracellular protein partners. However, components of the ANXA1-interacting protein complex remain unclear. Herein, we characterized the interacting complexes of apical membrane (ApANXA1) and cytosolic (cyANXA1) forms of ANXA1 in apical membrane and cytosolic compartments, respectively, of renal epithelial cells under high-calcium condition using proteomic and bioinformatic approaches. After fractionation, the ApANXA1- and CyANXA1-interacting partners were identified by immunoprecipitation followed by nanoLC‑ESI‑Qq-TOF tandem mass spectrometry (IP-MS/MS). The ANXA1-interacting partners that were common in both apical membrane and cytosolic compartments and those unique in each compartment were then analyzed for their physico-chemical properties (molecular weight, isoelectric point, amino acid contents, instability index, aliphatic index, and grand average of hydropathicity), secondary structure (α-helix, β-turn, random coil, and extended strand), molecular functions, biological processes, reactome pathways and KEGG pathways. The data demonstrated that each set of these interacting proteins exhibited common and unique characteristics and properties. The knowledge from this study may lead to better understanding of the ApANXA1 and CyAXNA1 biochemistry and functions as well as the pathophysiology of CaOx kidney stone formation induced by high-calcium condition.

Abstract
The annexins are a family of Ca2+-dependent peripheral membrane proteins. Several annexins are implicated in plasma membrane repair and are overexpressed in cancer cells. Annexin A4 (ANXA4) and annexin A5 (ANXA5) form trimers that induce high curvature on a membrane surface, a phenomenon deemed to accelerate membrane repair. Despite being highly homologous to ANXA4, annexin A3 (ANXA3) does not form trimers on the membrane surface. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have reverse engineered an ANXA3-mutant to trimerize on the surface of the membrane and induce high curvature reminiscent of ANXA4. In addition, atomic force microscopy images show that, like ANXA4, the engineered protein forms crystalline arrays on a supported lipid membrane. Despite the trimer-forming and curvature-inducing properties of the engineered ANXA3, it does not accumulate near a membrane lesion in laser-punctured cells and is unable to repair the lesion. Our investigation provides insights into the factors that drive annexin-mediated membrane repair and shows that the membrane-repairing property of trimer-forming annexins also necessitates high membrane binding affinity, other than trimer formation and induction of negative membrane curvature.

[PMID: 37397259 PMCID: PMC10311354 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.1161588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The regulation of intracellular functions in mammalian cells involves close coordination of cellular processes. During recent years it has become evident that the sorting, trafficking and distribution of transport vesicles and mRNA granules/complexes are closely coordinated to ensure effective simultaneous handling of all components required for a specific function, thereby minimizing the use of cellular energy. Identification of proteins acting at the crossroads of such coordinated transport events will ultimately provide mechanistic details of the processes. Annexins are multifunctional proteins involved in a variety of cellular processes associated with Ca2+-regulation and lipid binding, linked to the operation of both the endocytic and exocytic pathways. Furthermore, certain Annexins have been implicated in the regulation of mRNA transport and translation. Since Annexin A2 binds specific mRNAs via its core structure and is also present in mRNP complexes, we speculated whether direct association with RNA could be a common property of the mammalian Annexin family sharing a highly similar core structure. Methods and results: Therefore, we performed spot blot and UV-crosslinking experiments to assess the mRNA binding abilities of the different Annexins, using annexin A2 and c-myc 3'UTRs as well as c-myc 5'UTR as baits. We supplemented the data with immunoblot detection of selected Annexins in mRNP complexes derived from the neuroendocrine rat PC12 cells. Furthermore, biolayer interferometry was used to determine the KD of selected Annexin-RNA interactions, which indicated distinct affinities. Amongst these Annexins, Annexin A13 and the core structures of Annexin A7, Annexin A11 bind c-myc 3'UTR with KDs in the nanomolar range. Of the selected Annexins, only Annexin A2 binds the c-myc 5'UTR indicating some selectivity. Discussion: The oldest members of the mammalian Annexin family share the ability to associate with RNA, suggesting that RNA-binding is an ancient trait of this protein family. Thus, the combined RNA- and lipid-binding properties of the Annexins make them attractive candidates to participate in coordinated long-distance transport of membrane vesicles and mRNAs regulated by Ca2+. The present screening results can thus pave the way for studies of the multifunctional Annexins in a novel cellular context.
