Abstract
The Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a tick-borne bunyavirus that causes high mortality in humans. This enveloped virus harbors two surface glycoproteins (GP), Gn and Gc, that are released by processing of a glycoprotein precursor complex whose maturation takes place in the ER and is completed through the secretion pathway. Here, we characterized the trafficking network exploited by CCHFV GPs during viral assembly, envelopment, and/or egress. We identified membrane trafficking motifs in the cytoplasmic domains (CD) of CCHFV GPs and addressed how they impact these late stages of the viral life cycle using infection and biochemical assays, and confocal microscopy in virus-producing cells. We found that several of the identified CD motifs modulate GP transport through the retrograde trafficking network, impacting envelopment and secretion of infectious particles. Finally, we identified PACS-2 as a crucial host factor contributing to CCHFV GPs trafficking required for assembly and release of viral particles.

Abstract
Corticotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in a regulated manner to promote the production of cortisol and androgens. The process of ACTH secretion is partly mediated by the phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 1 (PACS-1); however, the underlying mechanisms behind this regulation remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrated PACS-1 interactions with the short transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3) calcium transporter and the extended synaptotagmin-1 (ESyt1) endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane tethering protein. Importantly, PACS-1 promoted interactions between TRPC3 and ESyt1 and regulated their plasma membrane localization. Lastly, we demonstrated that PACS-1 is required for a proper store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) response and that ESyt1 regulates ACTH secretion through an unknown mechanism regulated by PACS-1. Overall, our study provides new insights into the physiological role PACS-1 plays in modulating intracellular calcium levels and regulating ACTH secretion in corticotropic cells.

Abstract
PACS (Phosphofurin Acidic Cluster Sorting Protein) proteins are known for their roles in sorting cargo proteins to organelles and can physically interact with WD40 repeat-containing protein WDR37. PACS1, PACS2, and WDR37 variants are associated with multisystemic syndromes and neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by intellectual disability, seizures, developmental delays, craniofacial abnormalities, and autism spectrum disorder. However, the effects of syndromic variants on function in vivo remains unknown. Here, we report the expression pattern of C. elegans orthologs of PACS and WDR37 and their interaction. We show that cePACS-1 and ceWDR-37 co-localize to somatic cytoplasm of many types of cells, and are mutually required for expression, supporting a conclusion that the intermolecular dependence of PACS1/PACS2/PACS-1 and WDR37/WDR-37 is evolutionarily conserved. We further show that editing in PACS1 and PACS2 variants in cePACS-1 changes protein localization in multiple cell types, including neurons. Moreover, expression of human PACS1 can functionally complement C. elegans PACS-1 in neurons, demonstrating conserved functions of the PACS-WDR37 axis in an invertebrate model system. Our findings reveal effects of human variants and suggest potential strategies to identify regulatory network components that may contribute to understanding molecular underpinnings of PACS/WDR37 syndromes.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. The pathomechanisms of DKD are multifactorial, yet haemodynamic and metabolic changes in the early stages of the disease appear to predispose towards irreversible functional loss and histopathological changes. Recent studies highlight the importance of endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria-associated membranes (ER-MAMs), structures conveying important cellular homeostatic and metabolic effects, in the pathology of DKD. Disruption of ER-MAM integrity in diabetic kidneys is associated with DKD progression, but the regulation of ER-MAMs and their pathogenic contribution remain largely unknown. Exploring the cell-specific components and dynamic changes of ER-MAMs in diabetic kidneys may lead to the identification of new approaches to detect and stratify diabetic patients with DKD. In addition, these insights may lead to novel therapeutic approaches to target and/or reverse disease progression. In this review, we discuss the association of ER-MAMs with key pathomechanisms driving DKD such as insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, ER stress, and inflammasome activation and the importance of further exploration of ER-MAMs as diagnostic and therapeutic targets in DKD.

Abstract
PACS1 syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability and distinct craniofacial abnormalities resulting from a de novo p.R203W variant in phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 1 (PACS1). PACS1 is known to have functions in the endosomal pathway and nucleus, but how the p.R203W variant affects developing neurons is not fully understood. Here we differentiated stem cells towards neuronal models including cortical organoids to investigate the impact of the PACS1 syndrome-causing variant on neurodevelopment. While few deleterious effects were detected in PACS1(+/R203W) neural precursors, mature PACS1(+/R203W) glutamatergic neurons exhibited impaired expression of genes involved in synaptic signaling processes. Subsequent characterization of neural activity using calcium imaging and multielectrode arrays revealed the p.R203W PACS1 variant leads to a prolonged neuronal network burst duration mediated by an increased interspike interval. These findings demonstrate the impact of the PACS1 p.R203W variant on developing human neural tissue and uncover putative electrophysiological underpinnings of disease.

Abstract
Mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contacts (MERCs), also called endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contact sites (ERMCS), are the membrane domains, where these two organelles exchange lipids, Ca2+ ions, and reactive oxygen species. This crosstalk is a major determinant of cell metabolism, since it allows the ER to control mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and the Krebs cycle, while conversely, it allows the mitochondria to provide sufficient ATP to control ER proteostasis. MERC metabolic signaling is under the control of tethers and a multitude of regulatory proteins. Many of these proteins have recently been discovered to give rise to rare diseases if their genes are mutated. Surprisingly, these diseases share important hallmarks and cause neurological defects, sometimes paired with, or replaced by skeletal muscle deficiency. Typical symptoms include developmental delay, intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism and ophthalmologic defects. Seizures, epilepsy, deafness, ataxia, or peripheral neuropathy can also occur upon mutation of a MERC protein. Given that most MERC tethers and regulatory proteins have secondary functions, some MERC protein-based diseases do not fit into this categorization. Typically, however, the proteins affected in those diseases have dominant functions unrelated to their roles in MERCs tethering or their regulation. We are discussing avenues to pharmacologically target genetic diseases leading to MERC defects, based on our novel insight that MERC defects lead to common characteristics in rare diseases. These shared characteristics of MERCs disorders raise the hope that they may allow for similar treatment options.

Abstract
Autophagy of endoplasmic reticulum (ER-phagy) selectively removes damaged ER through autophagy-lysosome pathway, acting as an adaptive mechanism to alleviate ER stress and restore ER homeostasis. However, the role and precise mechanism of ER-phagy in tubular injury of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remain obscure. In the present study, we demonstrated that ER-phagy of renal tubular cells was severely impaired in streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, with a decreased expression of phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS-2), a membrane trafficking protein which was involved in autophagy, and a reduction of family with sequence similarity 134 member B (FAM134B), one ER-phagy receptor. These changes were further aggravated in mice with proximal tubule specific knockout of Pacs-2 gene. In vitro, transfection of HK-2 cells with PACS-2 overexpression plasmid partially improved the impairment of ER-phagy and the reduction of FAM134B, both of which were induced in high glucose ambience; while the effect was blocked by FAM134B siRNA. Mechanistically, PACS-2 interacted with and promoted the nuclear translocation of transcription factor EB (TFEB), which was reported to activate the expression of FAM134B. Collectively, these data unveiled that PACS-2 deficiency aggravates renal tubular injury in DKD via inhibiting ER-phagy through TFEB/FAM134B pathway.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria form a unique subcellular compartment called mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs). Disruption of MAMs impairs Ca2+ homeostasis, triggering pleiotropic effects in the neuronal system. Genome-wide kinase-MAM interactome screening identifies casein kinase 2 alpha 1 (CK2A1) as a regulator of composition and Ca2+ transport of MAMs. CK2A1-mediated phosphorylation of PACS2 at Ser207/208/213 facilitates MAM localization of the CK2A1-PACS2-PKD2 complex, regulating PKD2-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+ influx. We further reveal that mutations of PACS2 (E209K and E211K) associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy-66 (DEE66) impair MAM integrity through the disturbance of PACS2 phosphorylation at Ser207/208/213. This, in turn, causes the reduction of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and the dramatic increase of the cytosolic Ca2+ level, thereby, inducing neurotransmitter release at the axon boutons of glutamatergic neurons. In conclusion, our findings suggest a molecular mechanism that MAM alterations induced by pathological PACS2 mutations modulate Ca2+-dependent neurotransmitter release.

Abstract
Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) are dynamic coupling structures between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). As a new subcellular structure, MAMs combine the two critical organelle functions. Mitochondria and the ER could regulate each other via MAMs. MAMs are involved in calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis, autophagy, ER stress, lipid metabolism, etc. Researchers have found that MAMs are closely related to metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). The formation of MAMs and their functions depend on specific proteins. Numerous protein enrichments, such as the IP3R-Grp75-VDAC complex, constitute MAMs. The changes in these proteins govern the interaction between mitochondria and the ER; they also affect the biological functions of MAMs. S-palmitoylation is a reversible protein post-translational modification (PTM) that mainly occurs on protein cysteine residues. More and more studies have shown that the S-palmitoylation of proteins is closely related to their membrane localization. Here, we first briefly describe the composition and function of MAMs, reviewing the component and biological roles of MAMs mediated by S-palmitoylation, elaborating on S-palmitoylated proteins in Ca2+ flux, lipid rafts, and so on. We try to provide new insight into the molecular basis of MAMs-related diseases, mainly NDs. Finally, we propose potential drug compounds targeting S-palmitoylation.

Abstract
Phosphofurin Acidic Cluster Sorting Protein 2 (PACS2)-related early infantile developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (EIDEE) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder. EIDEE is characterized by seizures that begin during the first three months of life and are accompanied by developmental impairment over time. In this article, we present three patients with EIDEE who experienced neonatal-onset seizures that developed into intractable seizures during infancy. Whole exome sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous missense variant in all three patients in the p.Glu209Lys variant of the PACS2 gene. We conducted a literature review and found 29 cases to characterize the seizure patterns, neuroimaging features, the usage of anticonvulsants, and the clinical neurodevelopmental outcomes of PACS2-related EIDEE. The seizures were characterized by brief, recurring tonic seizures in the upper limbs, sometimes accompanied by autonomic features. Neuroimaging abnormalities were observed in the posterior fossa region, including mega cisterna magna, cerebellar dysplasia, and vermian hypoplasia. The long-term prognosis ranges from low–average intelligence to severe developmental retardation, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and accurate diagnosis by pediatric neurologists to provide personalized patient management.

Abstract
Polycystin subunits can form hetero- and homotetrameric ion channels in the membranes of various compartments of the cell. Homotetrameric polycystin channels are voltage- and calcium-modulated, whereas heterotetrameric versions are proposed to be ligand- or autoproteolytically regulated. Their importance is underscored by variants associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and by vital roles in fertilization and embryonic development. The diversity in polycystin assembly and subcellular distribution allows for a multitude of sensory functions by this class of channels. In this review, we highlight their recent structural and functional characterization, which has provided a molecular blueprint to investigate the conformational changes required for channel opening in response to unique stimuli. We consider each polycystin channel type individually, discussing how they contribute to sensory cell biology, as well as their impact on the physiology of various tissues.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are age-related disorders characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and neuronal cell loss in the central nervous system. Neuropathological conditions such as the accumulation of misfolded proteins can cause neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and synaptic dysfunction in the brain, leading to the development of NDDs including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally via RNA interference. Recently, some studies have reported that some miRNAs play an important role in the development of NDDs by regulating target gene expression. MiRNA-485 (miR-485) is a highly conserved brain-enriched miRNA. Accumulating clinical reports suggest that dysregulated miR-485 may be involved in the pathogenesis of AD and PD. Emerging studies have also shown that miR-485 plays a novel role in the regulation of neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and synaptic function in the pathogenesis of NDDs. In this review, we introduce the biological characteristics of miR-485, provide clinical evidence of the dysregulated miR-485 in NDDs, novel roles of miR-485 in neuropathological events, and discuss the potential of targeting miR-485 as a diagnostic and therapeutic marker for NDDs.

Abstract
The outer mitochondrial membrane is a busy place. One essential activity for cellular survival is the regulation of membrane integrity by the BCL-2 family of proteins. Another critical facet of the outer mitochondrial membrane is its close approximation with the endoplasmic reticulum. These mitochondrial-associated membranes (MAMs) occupy a significant fraction of the mitochondrial surface and serve as key signaling hubs for multiple cellular processes. Each of these pathways may be considered as forming their own specialized MAM subtype. Interestingly, like membrane permeabilization, most of these pathways play critical roles in regulating cellular survival and death. Recently, the pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family member BOK has been found within MAMs where it plays important roles in their structure and function. This has led to a greater appreciation that multiple BCL-2 family proteins, which are known to participate in numerous functions throughout the cell, also have roles within MAMs. In this review, we evaluate several MAM subsets, their role in cellular homeostasis, and the contribution of BCL-2 family members to their functions.

ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:34378-34388.

Abstract
Phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS-2) is a multifunctional cytosolic membrane trafficking protein with distinct roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Recent clinical reports have described 28 individuals possessing a de novo PACS-2 E209K mutation that present with epileptic seizures and cerebellar dysgenesis. As the PACS-2 E209K missense mutation has become a marker for neurodevelopmental disorders, we sought to characterize its biochemical properties. Accordingly, we observed that the PACS-2 E209K protein exhibited a slower turnover rate relative to PACS-2 wild type (WT) upon cycloheximide treatment in 293T cells. The longer half-life of PACS-2 E209K suggests a disruption in its proteostasis, with the potential for altered protein-protein interactions. Indeed, a regulatory protein in neurodevelopment known as 14-3-3ε was identified as having an increased association with PACS-2 E209K. Subsequently, when comparing the effect of PACS-2 WT and E209K expression on the staurosporine-induced apoptosis response, we found that PACS-2 E209K increased susceptibility to staurosporine-induced apoptosis in HCT 116 cells. Overall, our findings suggest PACS-2 E209K alters PACS-2 proteostasis and favors complex formation with 14-3-3ε, leading to increased cell death in the presence of environmental stressors.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58091252.

Abstract
(1) Background: In this paper, we report on three cases of hypoacusis as part of a complex phenotype and some rare gene variants. An extensive review of literature completes the newly reported clinical and genetic information. (2) Methods: The cases range from 2- to 11-year-old boys, all with a complex clinical picture and hearing impairment. In all cases, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed, in the first case in association with mitochondrial DNA study. (3) Results: The detected variants were: two heterozygous variants in the TWNK gene, one likely pathogenic and another of uncertain clinical significance (autosomal recessive mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome type 7-hepatocerebral type); heterozygous variants of uncertain significance PACS2 and SYT2 genes (autosomal dominant early infantile epileptic encephalopathy) and a homozygous variant of uncertain significance in SUCLG1 gene (mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 9). Some of these genes have never been previously reported as associated with hearing problems. (4) Conclusions: Our cases bring new insights into some rare genetic syndromes. Although the role of TWNK gene in hearing impairment is clear and accordingly reflected in published literature as well as in the present article, for the presented gene variants, a correlation to hearing problems could not yet be established and requires more scientific data. We consider that further studies are necessary for a better understanding of the role of these variants.

Abstract
The Schuurs−Hoeijmakers syndrome (SHMS) or PACS1 Neurodevelopment Disorder (PACS1-NDD) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the PACS1 gene. To date, only 87 patients have been reported and, surprisingly, most of them carry the same variant (c.607C>T; p.R203W). The most relevant clinical features of the syndrome include neurodevelopment delay, seizures or a recognizable facial phenotype. Moreover, some of these characteristics overlap with other syndromes, such as the PACS2 or Wdr37 syndromes. The encoded protein phosphofurin acid cluster sorting 1 (PACS-1) is able to bind to different client proteins and direct them to their subcellular final locations. Therefore, although its main function is protein trafficking, it could perform other roles related to its client proteins. In patients with PACS1-NDD, a gain-of-function or a dominant negative mechanism for the mutated protein has been suggested. This, together with the fact that most of the patients carry the same genetic variant, makes it a good candidate for novel therapeutic approaches directed to decreasing the toxic effect of the mutated protein. Some of these strategies include the use of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) or targeting of its client proteins.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 gene which encodes membrane receptor PKD1 and cation channel PKD2, respectively. PKD2, also called transient receptor potential polycystin-2 (TRPP2), is a Ca2+-permeable channel located on the membrane of cell surface, primary cilia, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Ca2+ is closely associated with diverse cellular functions. While ER Ca2+ homeostasis depends on different Ca2+ receptors, channels and transporters, the role of PKD2 within the ER remains controversial. Whether and how PKD2-mediated ER Ca2+ leak relates to ADPKD pathogenesis is not well understood. Here, we reviewed current knowledge about the biophysical and physiological properties of PKD2 and how PKD2 contributes to ER Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
TRPP2 (PC2, PKD2 or Polycytin-2), encoded by PKD2 gene, belongs to the nonselective cation channel TRP family. Recently, the three-dimensional structure of TRPP2 was constructed. TRPP2 mainly functions in three subcellular compartments: endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane and primary cilia. TRPP2 can act as a calcium-activated intracellular calcium release channel on the endoplasmic reticulum. TRPP2 also interacts with other Ca2+ release channels to regulate calcium release, like IP3R and RyR2. TRPP2 acts as an ion channel regulated by epidermal growth factor through activation of downstream factors in the plasma membrane. TRPP2 binding to TRPC1 in the plasma membrane or endoplasmic reticulum is associated with mechanosensitivity. In cilium, TRPP2 was found to combine with PKD1 and TRPV4 to form a complex related to mechanosensitivity. Because TRPP2 is involved in regulating intracellular ion concentration, TRPP2 mutations often lead to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, which may also be associated with cardiovascular disease. In this paper, we review the molecular structure of TRPP2, the subcellular localization of TRPP2, the related functions and mechanisms of TRPP2 at different sites, and the diseases related to TRPP2.

Abstract
Polycystin-2 (TRPP2, PKD2, PC2) is the product of the PKD2 gene, whose mutations cause Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). PC2 belongs to the superfamily of TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) proteins that generally function as Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels implicated in Ca2+ signaling. PC2 localizes to various cell domains with distinct functions that likely depend on interactions with specific channel partners. Functions include receptor-operated, nonselective cation channel activity in the plasma membrane, intracellular Ca2+ release channel activity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and mechanosensitive channel activity in the primary cilium of renal epithelial cells. Here we summarize our current understanding of the properties of PC2 and how other transmembrane and cytosolic proteins modulate this activity, providing functional diversity and selective regulatory mechanisms to its role in the control of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
Neonatal epilepsy, cerebellar dysgenesis and facial dysmorphisms may be associated with de novo PACS2 missense pathogenic variants (EIEE 66) (OMIM #618067). Here, we report a toddler boy with neonatal-onset seizures, developmental delay with hypotonia, facial dysmorphisms and prominence of the cisterna magna, mild inferior vermian and cerebellar hypoplasia. A nextgeneration epilepsy gene panel revealed a known pathogenic PACS2 missense variant, p.Glu209Lys, that was inherited from his mildly affected mother. We describe the first PACS2 pathogenic variant to be inherited, expanding the clinical spectrum, associated with a mild phenotype in the mother and a more severe phenotype in her son, in keeping with previously reported descriptions.

Abstract
Omics tools provide broad datasets for biological discovery. However, the computational tools for identifying important genes or pathways in RNA-seq, proteomics, or GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Study) data depend on Gene Ontogeny annotations and are biased toward well-described pathways. This limits their utility as poorly annotated genes, which could have novel functions, are often passed over. Recently, we developed an annotation and category enrichment tool for Caenorhabditis elegans genomic data, WormCat, which provides an intuitive visualization output. Unlike Gene Ontogeny-based enrichment tools, which exclude genes with no annotation information, WormCat 2.0 retains these genes as a special UNASSIGNED category. Here, we show that the UNASSIGNED gene category enrichment exhibits tissue-specific expression patterns and can include genes with biological functions identified in published datasets. Poorly annotated genes are often considered to be potentially species-specific and thus, of reduced interest to the biomedical community. Instead, we find that around 3% of the UNASSIGNED genes have human orthologs, including some linked to human diseases. These human orthologs themselves have little annotation information. A recently developed method that incorporates lineage relationships (abSENSE) indicates that the failure of BLAST to detect homology explains the apparent lineage specificity for many UNASSIGNED genes. This suggests that a larger subset could be related to human genes. WormCat provides an annotation strategy that allows the association of UNASSIGNED genes with specific phenotypes and known pathways. Building these associations in C. elegans, with its robust genetic tools, provides a path to further functional study and insight into these understudied genes.

Abstract
Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM) may have a role in tubular injury in diabetic nephropathy (DN), but the precise mechanism remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS-2), a critical regulator of MAM formation, is significantly decreased in renal tubules of patients with DN, and PACS-2 expression is positively correlated with renal function and negatively correlated with degrees of tubulointerstitial lesions. Conditional deletion of Pacs-2 in proximal tubules (PTs) aggravates albuminuria and tubular injury in a streptozotocin-induced mouse model of diabetes. Mitochondrial fragmentation, MAM disruption, and defective mitophagy accompanied by altered expression of mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagic proteins, including Drp1 and Becn1, are observed in tubules of diabetic mice; these changes are more pronounced in PT-specific Pacs-2 knockout mice. In vitro, overexpression of PACS-2 in HK-2 cells alleviates excessive mitochondrial fission induced by high glucose concentrations through blocking mitochondrial recruitment of DRP1 and subsequently restores MAM integrity and enhances mitophagy. Mechanistically, PACS-2 binds to BECN1 and mediates the relocalization of BECN1 to MAM, where it promotes the formation of mitophagosome. Together, these data highlight an important but previously unrecognized role of PACS-2 in ameliorating tubular injury in DN by facilitating MAM formation and mitophagy.

Drug-Targeted Genomes: Mutability of Ion Channels and GPCRs. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10030594. [PMID: 35327396 PMCID: PMC8945769 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10030594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Mutations of ion channels and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are not uncommon and can lead to cardiovascular diseases. Given previously reported multiple factors associated with high mutation rates, we sorted the relative mutability of multiple human genes by (i) proximity to telomeres and/or (ii) high adenine and thymine (A+T) content. We extracted genomic information using the genome data viewer and examined the mutability of 118 ion channel and 143 GPCR genes based on their association with factors (i) and (ii). We then assessed these two factors with 31 genes encoding ion channels or GPCRs that are targeted by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. Out of the 118 ion channel genes studied, 80 met either factor (i) or (ii), resulting in a 68% match. In contrast, a 78% match was found for the 143 GPCR genes. We also found that the GPCR genes (n = 20) targeted by FDA-approved drugs have a relatively lower mutability than those genes encoding ion channels (n = 11), where targeted genes encoding GPCRs were shorter in length. The result of this study suggests that the use of matching rate analysis on factor-druggable genome is feasible to systematically compare the relative mutability of GPCRs and ion channels. The analysis on chromosomes by two factors identified a unique characteristic of GPCRs, which have a significant relationship between their nucleotide sizes and proximity to telomeres, unlike most genetic loci susceptible to human diseases.

PACS2-TRPV1 axis is required for ER-mitochondrial tethering during ER stress and lung fibrosis. Cell Mol Life Sci 2022; 79:151.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria (mito) play a vital role in alveolar type II cell (AEC2) homeostasis and are both stressed in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Up to now, no data are available with regard to ER–mito cross talk and tethering under conditions of IPF. We here demonstrate that ER–mitochondrial tethering is reduced upon experimental ER stress in vitro and in the IPF AECII ex vivo, and this is—at least in part—due to decreased phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS-2, also called PACS2) protein levels. PACS2 levels are influenced by its interaction with the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) and can be experimentally modified by the TRPV1-modulating drug capsaicin (CPS). Employing alveolar epithelial cells with overexpression of the terminal ER stress signaling factor Chop or the IPF-associated surfactant protein C mutation (SPCΔexon4) in vitro, we observed a restoration of PACS2 levels upon treatment with CPS. Similarly, treatment of precision cut lung slices from IPF patients with CPS ex vivo forwarded similar effects. Importantly, in all models such kind of intervention also greatly reduced the extent of alveolar epithelial apoptosis. We therefore conclude that therapeutic targeting of the PACS2–TRPV1 axis represents an interesting novel, epithelial-protective approach in IPF.

Abstract
In pancreatic β-cells of the line INS-1, glucose uptake and metabolism induce the openings of Ca2+-permeable TRPM3 channels that contribute to the elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and the fusion of insulin granules with the plasma membrane. Conversely, glucose-induced Ca2+ signals and insulin release are reduced by the activity of the serine/threonine kinase CK2. Therefore, we hypothesized that TRPM3 channels might be regulated by CK2 phosphorylation. We used recombinant TRPM3α2 proteins, native TRPM3 proteins from INS-1 β-cells, and TRPM3-derived oligopeptides to analyze and localize CK2-dependent phosphorylation of TRPM3 channels. The functional consequences of CK2 phosphorylation upon TRPM3-mediated Ca2+ entry were investigated in Fura-2 Ca2+-imaging experiments. Recombinant TRPM3α2 channels expressed in HEK293 cells displayed enhanced Ca2+ entry in the presence of the CK2 inhibitor CX-4945 and their activity was strongly reduced after CK2 overexpression. TRPM3α2 channels were phosphorylated by CK2 in vitro at serine residue 1172. Accordingly, a TRPM3α2 S1172A mutant displayed enhanced Ca2+ entry. The TRPM3-mediated Ca2+ entry in INS-1 β-cells was also strongly increased in the presence of CX-4945 and reduced after overexpression of CK2. Our study shows that CK2-mediated phosphorylation controls TRPM3 channel activity in INS-1 β-cells.

Abstract
Cardiovascular remodeling occurs in cardiomyocytes, collagen meshes, and vascular beds in the progress of cardiac insufficiency caused by a variety of cardiac diseases such as chronic ischemic heart disease, chronic overload heart disease, myocarditis, and myocardial infarction. The morphological changes that occur as a result of remodeling are the critical pathological basis for the occurrence and development of serious diseases and also determine morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the inhibition of remodeling is an important approach to prevent and treat heart failure and other related diseases. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are tightly linked by ER-mitochondria contacts (ERMCs). ERMCs play a vital role in different signaling pathways and provide a satisfactory structural platform for the ER and mitochondria to interact and maintain the normal function of cells, mainly by involving various cellular life processes such as lipid metabolism, calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial function, ER stress, and autophagy. Studies have shown that abnormal ERMCs may promote the occurrence and development of remodeling and participate in the formation of a variety of cardiovascular remodeling-associated diseases. This review focuses on the structure and function of the ERMCs, and the potential mechanism of ERMCs involved in cardiovascular remodeling, indicating that ERMCs may be a potential target for new therapeutic strategies against cardiovascular remodeling-induced diseases.

Abstract
Missense variants located in the N-terminal region of WDR37 were recently identified to cause a multisystemic syndrome affecting neurological, ocular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiac development. WDR37 encodes a WD40 repeat-containing protein of unknown function. We identified three novel WDR37 variants, two likely pathogenic de novo alleles and one inherited variant of uncertain significance, in individuals with phenotypes overlapping those previously reported but clustering in a different region of the protein. The novel alleles are C-terminal to the prior variants and located either within the second WD40 motif (c.659A>G p.(Asp220Gly)) or in a disordered protein region connecting the second and third WD40 motifs (c.778G>A p.(Asp260Asn) and c.770C>A p.(Pro257His)). The three novel mutants showed normal cellular localization but lower expression levels in comparison to wild-type WDR37. To investigate the normal interactions of WDR37, we performed co-immunoprecipitation and yeast two-hybrid assays. This revealed the ability of WDR37 to form homodimers and to strongly bind PACS1 and PACS2 phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting proteins; immunocytochemistry confirmed colocalization of WDR37 with PACS1 and PACS2 in human cells. Next, we analyzed previously reported and novel mutants for their ability to dimerize with wild-type WDR37 and bind PACS proteins. Interaction with wild-type WDR37 was not affected for any variant; however, one novel mutant, p.(Asp220Gly), lost its ability to bind PACS1 and PACS2. In summary, this study presents a novel region of WDR37 involved in human disease, identifies PACS1 and PACS2 as major binding partners of WDR37 and provides insight into the functional effects of various WDR37 variants.

J Biol Chem 2021; 297:101418. [PMID: 34793838 PMCID: PMC8671642 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.101418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Signals from retinal photoreceptors are processed in two parallel channels—the ON channel responds to light increments, while the OFF channel responds to light decrements. The ON pathway is mediated by ON type bipolar cells (BCs), which receive glutamatergic synaptic input from photoreceptors via a G-protein-coupled receptor signaling cascade. The metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR6 is located at the dendritic tips of all ON-BCs and is required for synaptic transmission. Thus, it is critically important for delivery of information from photoreceptors into the ON pathway. In addition to detecting glutamate, mGluR6 participates in interactions with other postsynaptic proteins, as well as trans-synaptic interactions with presynaptic ELFN proteins. Mechanisms of mGluR6 synaptic targeting and functional interaction with other synaptic proteins are unknown. Here, we show that multiple regions in the mGluR6 ligand-binding domain are necessary for both synaptic localization in BCs and ELFN1 binding in vitro. However, these regions were not required for plasma membrane localization in heterologous cells, indicating that secretory trafficking and synaptic localization are controlled by different mechanisms. In contrast, the mGluR6 C-terminus was dispensable for synaptic localization. In mGluR6 null mice, localization of the postsynaptic channel protein TRPM1 was compromised. Introducing WT mGluR6 rescued TRPM1 localization, while a C-terminal deletion mutant had significantly reduced rescue ability. We propose a model in which trans-synaptic ELFN1 binding is necessary for mGluR6 postsynaptic localization, whereas the C-terminus has a role in mediating TRPM1 trafficking. These findings reveal different sequence determinants of the multifunctional roles of mGluR6 in ON-BCs.

Abstract
Different cellular processes that contribute to protein production in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been previously investigated by proteomics. However, although the classical secretory pathway (CSP) has been well documented as a bottleneck during recombinant protein (RP) production, it has not been well represented in previous proteomic studies. Hence, the significance of this pathway for production of RP was assessed by identifying its own proteins that were associated to changes in RP production, through subcellular fractionation coupled to shot-gun proteomics. Two CHO cell lines producing a monoclonal antibody with different specific productivities were used as cellular models, from which 4952 protein groups were identified, which represent a coverage of 59% of the Chinese hamster proteome. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD021014. By using SAM and ROTS algorithms, 493 proteins were classified as differentially expressed, of which about 80% was proposed as novel targets and one-third were assigned to the CSP. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, unfolded protein response, calcium homeostasis, vesicle traffic, glycosylation, autophagy, proteasomal activity, protein synthesis and translocation into ER lumen, and secretion of extracellular matrix components were some of the affected processes that occurred in the secretory pathway. Processes from other cellular compartments, such as DNA replication, transcription, cytoskeleton organization, signaling, and metabolism, were also modified. This study gives new insights into the molecular traits of higher producer cells and provides novel targets for development of new sub-lines with improved phenotypes for RP production.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium (Ca2+ ) stores are critical to proteostasis, intracellular signaling, and cellular bioenergetics. Through forward genetic screening in mice, we identified two members of a new complex, Pacs1 and Wdr37, which are required for normal ER Ca2+ handling in lymphocytes. Deletion of Pacs1 or Wdr37 caused peripheral lymphopenia that was linked to blunted Ca2+ release from the ER after antigen receptor stimulation. Pacs1-deficient cells showed diminished inositol triphosphate receptor expression together with increased ER and oxidative stress. Mature Pacs1-/- B cells proliferated and died in vivo under lymphocyte replete conditions, indicating spontaneous loss of cellular quiescence. Disruption of Pacs1-Wdr37 did not diminish adaptive immune responses, but potently suppressed lymphoproliferative disease models by forcing loss of quiescence. Thus, Pacs1-Wdr37 plays a critical role in stabilizing lymphocyte populations through ER Ca2+ handling and presents a new target for lymphoproliferative disease therapy.

Abstract
The maintenance of cellular homeostasis involves the participation of multiple organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria. Specifically, ER plays a key role in calcium (Ca2+) storage, lipid synthesis, protein folding, and assembly, while mitochondria are the "energy factories" and provide energy to drive intracellular processes. Hence, alteration in ER or mitochondrial homeostasis has detrimental effects on cell survival, being linked to the triggering of apoptosis, a programmed form of cell death. Besides, ER stress conditions affect mitochondria functionality and vice-versa, as ER and mitochondria communicate via mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs) to carry out a number of fundamental cellular functions. It is not surprising, thus, that also MAMs perturbations are involved in the regulation of apoptosis. This chapter intends to accurately discuss the involvement of MAMs in apoptosis, highlighting their crucial role in controlling this delicate cellular process.

Abstract
The first genuine high-resolution single particle cryo-electron microscopy structure of a membrane protein determined was a transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel, TRPV1, in 2013. This methodical breakthrough opened up a whole new world for structural biology and ion channel aficionados alike. TRP channels capture the imagination due to the sheer endless number of tasks they carry out in all aspects of animal physiology. To date, structures of at least one representative member of each of the six mammalian TRP channel subfamilies as well as of a few non-mammalian families have been determined. These structures were instrumental for a better understanding of TRP channel function and regulation. However, all of the TRP channel structures solved so far are incomplete since they miss important information about highly flexible regions found mostly in the channel N- and C-termini. These intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) can represent between a quarter to almost half of the entire protein sequence and act as important recruitment hubs for lipids and regulatory proteins. Here, we analyze the currently available TRP channel structures with regard to the extent of these "missing" regions and compare these findings to disorder predictions. We discuss select examples of intra- and intermolecular crosstalk of TRP channel IDRs with proteins and lipids as well as the effect of splicing and post-translational modifications, to illuminate their importance for channel function and to complement the prevalently discussed structural biology of these versatile and fascinating proteins with their equally relevant 'unstructural' biology.

Abstract
In the last decades, the communication between the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria has obtained great attention: mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), which represent the contact sites between the two organelles, have indeed emerged as central hub involved in different fundamental cell processes, such as calcium signalling, apoptosis, autophagy and lipid biosynthesis. Consistently, dysregulation of ER-mitochondria crosstalk has been associated with different pathological conditions, ranging from diabetes to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we will try to summarize the current knowledge on MAMs' structure and functions in health and their relevance for human diseases.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common dementia and a heterogeneous disease. Previous research has validated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are pivotal regulators in the initiation and development of tremendous diseases including AD. MicroRNA-485-5p (miR-485-5p) was reported to be an important participant implicated in several neurological diseases, but its role in AD still needs to be further investigated. In this research, we explored the biological function of miR-485-5p in AD. RT-qPCR revealed that miR-485-5p expression was downregulated in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice. Additionally, miR-485-5p overexpression facilitated the learning and memory capabilities of APP/PS1 mice according to Morris water maze test, fear conditioning test, and immunofluorescent staining. Moreover, CCK-8 assay, flow cytometric analysis, and western blot analysis suggested that miR-485-5p overexpression promoted pericyte viability and prohibited pericyte apoptosis in APP/PS1 mice. Mechanistically, miR-485-5p directly targeted PACS1 in pericytes, as shown in a luciferase reporter assay. In rescue assays, PACS1 overexpression countervailed the effect of miR-485-5p overexpression on pericyte viability and apoptosis. In conclusion, miR-485-5p ameliorates AD progression by targeting PACS1.

Abstract
In healthy connective tissues, mechanosensors trigger the generation of Ca2+ signals, which enable cells to maintain the structure of the fibrillar collagen matrix through actomyosin contractile forces. Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4 (TRPV4) is a mechanosensitive Ca2+ -permeable channel that, when expressed in cell-matrix adhesions of the plasma membrane, regulates extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. In high prevalence disorders such as fibrosis and tumor metastasis, dysregulated matrix remodeling is associated with disruptions of Ca2+ homeostasis and TRPV4 function. Here, we consider that ECM polymers transmit cell-activating mechanical signals to TRPV4 in cell adhesions. When activated, TRPV4 regulates fibrillar collagen remodeling, thereby altering the mechanical properties of the ECM. In this review, we integrate functionally connected processes of matrix remodeling to highlight how TRPV4 in cell adhesions and matrix mechanics are reciprocally regulated through Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited cause of kidney failure and affects up to 12 million people worldwide. Germline mutations in two genes, PKD1 or PKD2, account for almost all patients with ADPKD. The ADPKD proteins, polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), are regulated by post-translational modifications (PTM), with phosphorylation, glycosylation and proteolytic cleavage being the best described changes. A few PTMs have been shown to regulate polycystin trafficking, signalling, localisation or stability and thus their physiological function. A key challenge for the future will be to elucidate the functional significance of all the individual PTMs reported to date. Finally, it is possible that site-specific mutations that disrupt PTM could contribute to cystogenesis although in the majority of cases, confirmatory evidence is awaited.

Abstract
Naturally occurring mutations in two separate genes, PKD1 and PKD2, are responsible for the vast majority of all cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), one of the most common genetic diseases affecting 1 in 1000 Americans. The hallmark of ADPKD is the development of epithelial cysts in the kidney, liver, and pancreas. PKD1 encodes a large plasma membrane protein (PKD1, PC1, or Polycystin-1) with a long extracellular domain and has been speculated to function as an atypical G protein coupled receptor. PKD2 encodes an ion channel of the Transient Receptor Potential superfamily (TRPP2, PKD2, PC2, or Polycystin-2). Despite the identification of these genes more than 20 years ago, the molecular function of their encoded proteins and the mechanism(s) by which mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 cause ADPKD remain elusive. Genetic, biochemical, and functional evidence suggests they form a multiprotein complex present in multiple locations in the cell, including the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and the primary cilium. Over the years, numerous interacting proteins have been identified using directed and unbiased approaches, and shown to modulate function, cellular localization, and protein stability and turnover of Polycystins. Delineation of the molecular composition of the Polycystin complex can have a significant impact on understanding their cellular function in health and disease states and on the identification of more specific and effective therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Polycystin-2 (PC2) is a calcium channel that can be found in the endoplasmic reticulum, the plasmatic membrane, and the primary cilium. The structure of PC2 is characterized by a highly ordered C-terminal tail with an EF-motif (calcium-binding domain) and a canonical coiled-coil domain (CCD; interaction domain), and its activity is regulated by interacting partners and post-translational modifications. Calcium mobilization into the cytosol by PC2 has been mainly associated with cell growth and differentiation, and therefore mutations or dysfunction of PC2 lead to renal and cardiac consequences. Interestingly, PC2-related pathologies are usually treated with rapamycin, an autophagy stimulator. Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process where recycling material is sequestered into autophagosomes and then hydrolyzed by fusion with a lysosome. Interestingly, several studies have provided evidence that PC2 may be required for autophagy, suggesting that PC2 maintains a physiologic catabolic state.

Abstract
Differential phosphorylation of proteins is a key regulatory mechanism in biology. Immunoprecipitation-coupled mass spectrometry facilitates the targeted analysis of transient receptor ion potential channel polycystin-2 (TRPP2) phosphorylation. However, empirical testing is required to optimize experimental conditions for immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. Here, we present a detailed workflow for the reliable analysis of endogenous TRPP2 phosphorylation in differentiated renal epithelial cells.

Abstract
By influencing Ca2+ homeostasis in spatially and architecturally distinct neuronal compartments, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) illustrates the notion that form and function are intimately related. The contribution of ER to neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis is attributed to the organelle being the largest reservoir of intracellular Ca2+ and having a high density of Ca2+ channels and transporters. As such, ER Ca2+ has incontrovertible roles in the regulation of axodendritic growth and morphology, synaptic vesicle release, and neural activity dependent gene expression, synaptic plasticity, and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Not surprisingly, many neurological diseases arise from ER Ca2+ dyshomeostasis, either directly due to alterations in ER resident proteins, or indirectly via processes that are coupled to the regulators of ER Ca2+ dynamics. In this review, we describe the mechanisms involved in the establishment of ER Ca2+ homeostasis in neurons. We elaborate upon how changes in the spatiotemporal dynamics of Ca2+ exchange between the ER and other organelles sculpt neuronal function and provide examples that demonstrate the involvement of ER Ca2+ dyshomeostasis in a range of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a specific type of damage to the central nervous system causing temporary or permanent changes in its function. The present aimed to identify the genetic changes in neuroplasticity following SCI in rats. The GSE52763 microarray dataset, which included 15 samples [3 sham (1 week), 4 injury only (1 week), 4 injury only (3 weeks), 4 injury + treadmill (3 weeks)] was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. An empirical Bayes linear regression model in limma package was used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in injury vs. sham and treadmill vs. non‑treadmill comparison groups. Subsequently, time series and enrichment analyses were performed using pheatmap and clusterProfile packages, respectively. Additionally, protein‑protein interaction (PPI) and transcription factor (TF)‑microRNA (miRNA)‑target regulatory networks were constructed using Cytoscape software. In total, 159 and 105 DEGs were identified in injury vs. sham groups and treadmill vs. non‑treadmill groups, respectively. There were 40 genes in cluster 1 that presented increased expression levels in the injury (1 week/3 weeks) groups compared with the sham group, and decreased expression levels in the injury + treadmill group compared with the injury only groups; conversely, 52 genes in cluster 2 exhibited decreased expression levels in the injury (1 week/3 weeks) groups compared with the sham group, and increased expression levels in the injury + treadmill group compared with the injury only groups. Enrichment analysis indicated that clusters 1 and 2 were associated with immune response and signal transduction, respectively. Furthermore, microtubule associated protein 1B, phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 and adenosylhomocysteinase‑like 1 exhibited the highest degrees in the regulatory network, and were regulated by miRNAs including miR‑34A, miR‑34B, miR‑34C and miR‑449. These miRNAs and their target genes may serve important roles in neuroplasticity following traumatic SCI in rats. Nevertheless, additional in‑depth studies are required to confirm these data.

Abstract
AIM HIV-1 Nef downregulates surface MHC-I to protect the infected cells from CTLs-mediated killing. Although MHC-I downregulation has been extensively studied, the Nef-dependent assembly of the multi-protein complex and subsequent pathways activation has not yet been well explored. The present study is aimed for the identification of Nef-mediated sequential recruitment of cellular proteins that constitute the functional multi-protein complex, required for the downregulation of MHC-I. MAIN METHODS Different Cellular protein complexes were identified by co-immunoprecipitation in Nef or NefE4A mutant-expressing Jurkat T, and THP-1 cells followed by exposure to Nef-specific peptides 24 h post infection. The MHC-I downregulation was analyzed by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. KEY FINDINGS We found the association of Nef with PACS-2, GCC185, PI3K, AP-1, SFK, and MHC-I proteins that probably constitute a functional multi-protein complex. Furthermore, the immunoprecipitations with PACS-2 and GCC185 in the presence or absence of Nef, Nef E4A mutant and Nef with CP-inhibitor divide the functional complex of Nef into Nef-dependent (AP-1 and PI3K) and GCC185-dependent complex (MHC-I and SFK). The molecular mechanisms for activation of cellular pathways have been deciphered on the basis of these interactions that are brought in close proximity through Nef-GCC185 interaction. Knockdown of GCC185 using siRNA in Jurkat T cells showed a direct relationship between the assembly of functional multi-protein complex and MHC-I accumulation at GCC185. SIGNIFICANCE Overall, our study elucidates that GCC185 is a focal point for the assembly of the Nef-mediated multi-protein complex at TGN.

Abstract
Organelles were originally considered to be individual cellular compartments with a defined organization and function. However, recent studies revealed that organelles deeply communicate within each other via Ca2+ exchange. This communication, mediated by specialized membrane regions in close apposition between two organelles, regulate cellular functions, including metabolism and cell fate decisions. Advances in microscopy techniques, molecular biology and biochemistry have increased our understanding of these interorganelle platforms. Research findings suggest that interorganellar Ca2+ signaling, which is altered in cancer, influences tumorigenesis and tumor progression by controlling cell death programs and metabolism. Here, we summarize the available data on the existence and composition of interorganelle platforms connecting the endoplasmic reticulum with mitochondria, the plasma membrane, or endolysosomes. Finally, we provide a timely overview of the potential function of interorganellar Ca2+ signaling in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

PACS2 is required for ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell apoptosis by regulating mitochondria-associated ER membrane formation and mitochondrial Ca 2+ elevation. Exp Cell Res 2019; 379:191-202. [PMID: 30970236 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2019.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2019] [Revised: 04/01/2019] [Accepted: 04/03/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced endothelial cell (EC) apoptosis is the initial step of atherogenesis and associated with Ca2+ overload. Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane (MAM), regulated by tethering proteins such as phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS2), is essential for mitochondrial Ca2+ overload by mediating ER-mitochondria Ca2+ transfer. In our study, we aimed to investigate the role of PACS2 in ox-LDL-induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the underlying mechanisms. Ox-LDL dose- and time-dependently increased cell apoptosis concomitant with mitochondrial Ca2+ elevation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) loss, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and cytochrome c release. Silencing PACS2 significantly inhibited ox-LDL-induced cell apoptosis at 24 h in addition to the effects of ox-LDL on mitochondrial Ca2+, MMP, and ROS at 2 h. Besides, ox-LDL promoted PACS2 localization at mitochondria as well as ER-mitochondria contacts at 2 h. Not only that, ox-LDL upregulated PACS2 expression at 24 h. Furthermore, silencing PACS2 inhibited ox-LDL-induced mitochondrial localization of PACS2 and MAM formation at 24 h. Altogether, our findings suggest that PACS2 plays an important role in ox-LDL-induced EC apoptosis by regulating MAM formation and mitochondrial Ca2+ elevation, implicating that PACS2 may be a promising therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Newly endocytosed integral cell surface proteins are typically either directed for degradation or subjected to recycling back to the plasma membrane. The sorting of integral cell surface proteins, including signalling receptors, nutrient transporters, ion channels, adhesion molecules and polarity markers, within the endolysosomal network for recycling is increasingly recognized as an essential feature in regulating the complexities of physiology at the cell, tissue and organism levels. Historically, endocytic recycling has been regarded as a relatively passive process, where the majority of internalized integral proteins are recycled via a nonspecific sequence-independent 'bulk membrane flow' pathway. Recent work has increasingly challenged this view. The discovery of sequence-specific sorting motifs and the identification of cargo adaptors and associated coat complexes have begun to uncover the highly orchestrated nature of endosomal cargo recycling, thereby providing new insight into the function and (patho)physiology of this process.

Traffic 2018; 19:933-945. [PMID: 30125442 PMCID: PMC6237641 DOI: 10.1111/tra.12612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2017] [Revised: 08/15/2018] [Accepted: 08/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Mutations in the genes encoding polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin 2 (PC2) cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. These transmembrane proteins colocalize in the primary cilia of renal epithelial cells, where they may participate in sensory processes. PC1 is also found in the apical membrane when expressed in cultured epithelial cells. PC1 undergoes autocatalytic cleavage, producing an extracellular N-terminal fragment that remains noncovalently attached to the transmembrane C-terminus. Exposing cells to alkaline solutions elutes the N-terminal fragment while the C-terminal fragment is retained in the cell membrane. Utilizing this observation, we developed a "strip-recovery" synchronization protocol to study PC1 trafficking in polarized LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cells. Following alkaline strip, a new cohort of PC1 repopulates the cilia within 30 minutes, while apical delivery of PC1 was not detectable until 3 hours. Brefeldin A (BFA) blocked apical PC1 delivery, while ciliary delivery of PC1 was BFA insensitive. Incubating cells at 20°C to block trafficking out of the trans-Golgi network also inhibits apical but not ciliary delivery. These results suggest that newly synthesized PC1 takes distinct pathways to the ciliary and apical membranes. Ciliary PC1 appears to by-pass BFA sensitive Golgi compartments, while apical delivery of PC1 traverses these compartments.
