Abstract
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells harbor evolutionarily conserved TCRs, suggesting important functions. As human and mouse MAIT functional programs appear distinct, the evolutionarily conserved MAIT functional features remain unidentified. Using species-specific tetramers coupled to single-cell RNA sequencing, we characterized MAIT cell development in six species spanning 110 million years of evolution. Cross-species analyses revealed conserved transcriptional events underlying MAIT cell maturation, marked by ZBTB16 induction in all species. MAIT cells in human, sheep, cattle, and opossum acquired a shared type-1/17 transcriptional program, reflecting ancestral features. This program was also acquired by human iNKT cells, indicating common differentiation for innate-like T cells. Distinct type-1 and type-17 MAIT subsets developed in rodents, including pet mice and genetically diverse mouse strains. However, MAIT cells further matured in mouse intestines to acquire a remarkably conserved program characterized by concomitant expression of type-1, type-17, cytotoxicity, and tissue-repair genes. Altogether, the study provides a unifying view of the transcriptional features of innate-like T cells across evolution.

Sharma MC, Jain D. Important role of annexin A2 (ANXA2) in new blood vessel development in vivo and human triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) growth. Exp Mol Pathol 2020; 116:104523. [PMID: 32866522 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2020.104523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Development of new blood vessels in the tumor microenvironment is an essential component of tumor progression during which newly formed blood vessels nourish tumor cells and play a critical role in rapid tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Nevertheless, how tumor cells develop new blood vessels in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been enigmatic. Previously, we have shown specific overexpression of ANX A2 in TNBC cells regulates plasmin generation and suspected a role in neoangiogenesis. In this report, we used Matrigel plug model of in vivo angiogenesis and confirmed its role in new blood vessel development. Next, we tested if blocking of ANX A2 in aggressive human breast TME can inhibit angiogenesis and tumor growth in vivo. We showed that aggressive human breast tumor cells growing in nude mice can induce intense neoangiogenesis in the tumor mass. Blocking of ANXA2 significantly inhibited neoangiogenesis and resulted in inhibition of tumor growth. Interestingly, we identified that blocking of ANXA2 significantly inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation (Tyr-P) of ANXA2 implying its involvement in tyrosine signaling pathway and suggesting it may regulate angiogenesis. Taken together, our experimental evidence suggests that ANX A2 could be a novel strategy for disruption of tyrosine signaling and inhibition of neoangiogenesis in breast tumor.

Protein phosphorylation and its role in the regulation of Annexin A2 function. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2017; 1861:2515-2529. [PMID: 28867585 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2017.08.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 81] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2017] [Revised: 08/17/2017] [Accepted: 08/30/2017] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Annexin A2 (AnxA2) is a multifunctional protein involved in endocytosis, exocytosis, membrane domain organisation, actin remodelling, signal transduction, protein assembly, transcription and mRNA transport, as well as DNA replication and repair. SCOPE OF REVIEW The current knowledge of the role of phosphorylation in the functional regulation of AnxA2 is reviewed. To provide a more comprehensive treatment of this topic, we also address in depth the phosphorylation process in general and discuss its possible conformational effects. Furthermore, we discuss the apparent limitations of the methods used to investigate phosphoproteins, as exemplified by the study of AnxA2. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS AnxA2 is subjected to complex regulation by post-translational modifications affecting its cellular functions, with Ser11, Ser25 and Tyr23 representing important phosphorylation sites. Thus, Ser phosphorylation of AnxA2 is involved in the recruitment and docking of secretory granules, the regulation of its association with S100A10, and sequestration of perinuclear, translationally inactive mRNP complexes. By contrast, Tyr phosphorylation of AnxA2 regulates its role in actin dynamics and increases its association with endosomal compartments. Modification of its three main phosphorylation sites is not sufficient to discriminate between its numerous functions. Thus, fine-tuning of AnxA2 function is mediated by the joint action of several post-translational modifications. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE AnxA2 participates in malignant cell transformation, and its overexpression and/or phosphorylation is associated with cancer progression and metastasis. Thus, tight regulation of AnxA2 function is an integral aspect of cellular homeostasis. The presence of AnxA2 in cancer cell-derived exosomes, as well as the potential regulation of exosomal AnxA2 by phosphorylation or other PTMs, are topics of great interest.

Abstract
CD19-targeting CAR T cells have shown potency in clinical trials targeting B cell leukemia. Although mainly second generation (2G) CARs carrying CD28 or 4-1BB have been investigated in patients, preclinical studies suggest that third generation (3G) CARs with both CD28 and 4-1BB have enhanced capacity. However, little is known about the intracellular signaling pathways downstream of CARs. In the present work, we have analyzed the signaling capacity post antigen stimulation in both 2G and 3G CARs. 3G CAR T cells expanded better than 2G CAR T cells upon repeated stimulation with IL-2 and autologous B cells. An antigen-driven accumulation of CAR+ cells was evident post antigen stimulation. The cytotoxicity of both 2G and 3G CAR T cells was maintained by repeated stimulation. The phosphorylation status of intracellular signaling proteins post antigen stimulation showed that 3G CAR T cells had a higher activation status than 2G. Several proteins involved in signaling downstream the TCR were activated, as were proteins involved in the cell cycle, cell adhesion and exocytosis. In conclusion, 3G CAR T cells had a higher degree of intracellular signaling activity than 2G CARs which may explain the increased proliferative capacity seen in 3G CAR T cells. The study also indicates that there may be other signaling pathways to consider when designing or evaluating new generations of CARs.

Abstract
Annexin A2 (ANXA2) orchestrates multiple biologic processes and clinical associations, especially in cancer progression. The structure of ANXA2 affects its cellular localization and function. However, posttranslational modification and protease-mediated N-terminal cleavage also play critical roles in regulating ANXA2. ANXA2 expression levels vary among different types of cancers. With some cancers, ANXA2 can be used for the detection and diagnosis of cancer and for monitoring cancer progression. ANXA2 is also required for drug-resistance. This review discusses the feasibility of ANXA2 which is active in cancer development and can be a therapeutic target in cancer management.

Abstract
In response to blood vessel injury, hemostasis is initiated by platelet activation, advanced by thrombin generation, and tempered by fibrinolysis. The primary fibrinolytic protease, plasmin, can be activated either on a fibrin-containing thrombus or on cells. Annexin A2 (A2) heterotetramer (A2·p11)(2) is a key profibrinolytic complex that assembles plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator and promotes plasmin generation. We now report that, in endothelial cells, plasmin specifically induces activation of conventional PKC, which phosphorylates serine 11 and serine 25 of A2, triggering dissociation of the (A2·p11)(2) tetramer. The resulting free p11 undergoes ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation, thus preventing further translocation of A2 to the cell surface. In vivo, pretreatment of A2(+/+) but not A2(-/-) mice with a conventional PKC inhibitor significantly reduced thrombosis in a carotid artery injury model. These results indicate that augmentation of fibrinolytic vascular surveillance by blockade of serine phosphorylation is A2-dependent. We also demonstrate that plasmin-induced phosphorylation of A2 requires both cleavage of A2 and activation of Toll-like receptor 4 on the cell surface. We propose that plasmin can limit its own generation by triggering a finely tuned "feedback" mechanism whereby A2 becomes serine-phosphorylated, dissociates from p11, and fails to translocate to the cell surface.

Abstract
During assembly and budding of retroviruses, host cell proteins are incorporated into viral particles. Identification of virion-associated proteins may help pinpoint key cellular components required for virus production and function. The cellular protein annexin 2 (Anx2) is incorporated into HIV-1 particles, and knockdown of Anx2 has been reported to cause defects in Gag processing and infectivity of HIV-1 particles in macrophages. Here, we tested whether Anx2 was required for HIV-1 production in other cell types capable of producing HIV-1 virions. Endogenous Anx2 levels were knocked down by approximately 98% using lentivirus encoding short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting Anx2. Under these conditions, there was no reduction in HIV-1 virus-like particle (VLP) production in either COS-1, 293T, or Jurkat T cells or primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Murine embryonic fibroblasts derived from Anx2(-/-) mice produced the same levels of VLPs as matched cells from wild-type mice. The calcium-mediated spike in VLP production still occurred in Anx2-depleted COS-1 cells, and there was no apparent alteration in the intracellular Gag localization. Overexpression of Anx2 in trans had no effect on Gag processing or VLP production. Neither Anx2 depletion nor Anx2 overexpression altered the infectivity of HIV-1 particles produced by COS-1 or 293T cells. However, supernatants containing virus from Anx2 siRNA-treated primary human MDMs exhibited decreased infectivity. These data indicate that Anx2 is not required for HIV-1 assembly or Gag processing but rather plays a cell type-dependent role in regulating production of infectious HIV-1 by macrophages.

Abstract
Clinically, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) usually presents as a pure motor system disorder, whereas oculomotor and sphincter muscle control of the anus and the bladder appear to be spared. Previously, a lacking expression of calcium binding proteins (CBPs) was demonstrated in vulnerable motor neurons in contrast to spared neuronal populations, e.g., the motor neurons of the cranial nerve III (NO) and the Onufrowicz nucleus (ON), suggesting a potential role of CBPs in the selective motoneuronal vulnerability in ALS. The annexins comprise a multigene family of CBPs, constituting a significant amount of total cellular protein and presumably involved in calcium-homeostasis and intracellular calcium-regulated pathways. We immunohistochemically investigated the expression patterns of annexins A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, and A7 in spinal cord and midbrain tissues from 24 ALS patients and 5 age-matched controls to test the hypothesis that annexins also contribute to the selective vulnerability in ALS. There was no difference in the expression patterns of ALS cases and normal controls. Annexin A1 was expressed in ependymal cells and motor neurons. Annexin A2 could be detected in ependymal and endothelial cells and motor neurons. Annexins A4 and A5 were found in both ependymal and glial cells, whereas annexin A6 was strongly expressed in motor neurons. Annexin A7 was totally absent from central nervous system tissue. A contribution of annexins to the selective vulnerability in ALS could not be derived from our results.

Abstract
Studies have long been focused on the functions of annexin A2 in the cytoplasm. However, the involvement of annexin A2 in DNA replication as a part of primer recognition protein complex and the presence of nuclear export signal (NES) suggest that annexin A2 is also functional in the nucleus, and its localization in the nucleus is under regulation by interaction with other nuclear factors through its N-terminus. During the study of the mechanism of annexin A2 sequestering in the nucleus and the regulation of its export from the nucleus, in this study, we show that endogenous annexin A2 is present in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus in HeLa, PC-3 and DU-145 cells. While exogenously expressed annexin A2 is excluded from nuclei of annexin A2-null LNCaP cells in a CRM1 (Chromosome Maintenance Region 1) mediated nuclear export, endogenous annexin A2 in HeLa, PC-3 and DU-145 cell lines does not undergo the CRM1 mediated nuclear export. While investigating the mechanism of the nuclear retention of annexin A2, we found that an anti-annexin A2 antibody that recognizes the C-terminus of annexin A2 (D1/274.5) cannot recognize nuclear annexin A2, suggesting that the domain recognized by this antibody may be masked in the nuclei. In order to find out the role of annexin A2 C-terminus in the nuclear retention of annexin A2, we transiently transfected green fluorescence protein (GFP)-fused N-terminal 29 amino acids of annexin A2 to LNCaP, PC-3 and DU-145 cells, and determined that the C-terminus is not required for the nuclear retention of annexin A2. Based on the finding described above, we propose a model for nuclear retention of annexin A2 where the regulation sites reside in the N-terminus and are adjacent to the NES, and upon modification, the NES is exposed and annexin A2 is exported from the nucleus.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of the inflammatory myopathies is still unclear, making their treatment largely empirical. Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms of inflammatory muscle injury may, however, lead to the development of more specific immunotherapies. To elucidate a possible pathogenic contribution of calcium-binding proteins such as the annexins, we immunohistochemically investigated muscle biopsy specimens from patients with dermatomyositis (10 cases), polymyositis (9 cases), and inclusion-body myositis (4 cases), compared to control cases comprising sarcoid myopathy (3 cases), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD; 4 cases), and normal muscle (3 cases). We found expression of annexins A1, A2, A4, and A6 in the vascular endothelium of all cases. Myofibers expressed annexins A5, A6, and A7 diffusely and weakly in the cytosol, whereas annexins A5 and A7 were also particularly localized to the sarcolemma. In the inflammatory myopathies, in areas of myonecrosis in DMD, and in granulomatous lesions of sarcoid myopathy, reactivity of annexins A1, A2, A4, A5, and A6 was observed in macrophages and T-lymphocytes. Whereas the latter annexins appear to be nonspecific indicators of activation, annexin A1 upregulation may represent endogenous anti-inflammatory mechanisms that merit further investigation.

Abstract
The epithelial cell adhesion molecule CEACAM1 (carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule-1) is down-regulated in colon, prostate, breast, and liver cancer. Here we show that CEACAM1-4S, a splice form with four Ig-like ectodomains and a short cytoplasmic domain (14 amino acids), directly associates with annexin II, a lipid raft-associated molecule, which is also down-regulated in many cancers. Annexin II was identified using a glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay in which the cytoplasmic domain of CEACAM-4S was fused to glutathione S-transferase, the fusion protein was incubated with cell lysates, and isolated proteins were sequenced by mass spectrometry. The interaction was confirmed first by reciprocal immunoprecipitations using anti-CEACAM1 and anti-annexin II antibodies and second by confocal laser microscopy showing co-localization of CEACAM1 with annexin II in mammary epithelial cells grown in Matrigel. In addition, CEACAM1 co-localized with p11, a component of the tetrameric AIIt complex at the plasma membrane, and with annexin II in secretory vesicles. Immobilized, oriented peptides from the cytoplasmic domain of CEACAM1-4S were shown to directly associate with bovine AIIt, which is 98% homologous to human AIIt, with average KD values of about 30 nM using surface plasmon resonance, demonstrating direct binding of functionally relevant AIIt to the cytoplasmic domain of CEACAM1-4S.

Abstract
The diverse cytoplasmic domain sequences within the various integrin subunits are critical for integrin-mediated signaling into the cell (outside-in signaling) and for activation of ligand binding affinity (inside-out signaling). Here we introduce an approach based on phage display technology to identify molecules that specifically interact with the cytoplasmic domain of the beta 5 integrin subunit. We show that a peptide selected for binding specifically to the beta 5 cytoplasmic domain (VVISYSMPD) induces apoptosis upon internalization. The cell death process induced by VVISYSMPD is sensitive to modulation by growth factors and by protein kinase C (PKC), and it cannot be triggered in beta 5 null cells. Finally, we show that the VVISYSMPD peptide is a mimic of annexin V. Our results suggest a functional link between the alpha v beta 5 integrin, annexin V, and programmed cell death. We propose the term "endothanatos" to designate this phenomenon.

Abstract
Angiostatin(AS), an internal fragment of plasminogen, is one of the most potent specific inhibitors of angiogenesis. Angiostatin treatment has resulted in the complete regression of human tumors implanted subcutaneously into nude mice and has great therapeutic value (O'Reilly et al., Nat. Med. 2, 689-692, 1996). Despite promising therapeutic value in the treatment of cancer, the mechanism of its action is still unknown. We found that angiostatin binds to a 35-kDa protein in bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells (Sharma et al., Proc. Am. Assoc. Cancer Res. 42, 568, A3050, 2002). In an attempt to begin to understand angiostatin's mechanism of action, we have purified and characterized this 35-kDa protein from BAE cells. Internal peptide sequence analysis of purified protein demonstrated (SLYYIQQDTK, SYSPYDMLESIK, and ALLYLXGGDD) 100% sequence identity with tyrosine kinase substrate annexin II. Solid phase binding analysis suggests that angiostatin specifically bound to purified annexin II immobilized on 96-well plastic plates. Hundred-fold molar excess of unlabeled AS and anti-annexin II antibody inhibited bindings 85 and 55%, respectively, suggesting specific interaction. Annexin II is a predominant receptor for angiostatin, since neutralizing the angiostatin by soluble receptor (annexin II) effectively blocks angiostatin's anti-EC activity. Similarly, saturating the annexin II receptor by plasminogen in endothelial cells also blocks angiostatin's activity. Both angiostatin and plasminogen bind to purified annexin II in BAE cells saturably with apparent K(d) values of 101 and 164 nM, respectively, for purified annexin II and K(d) values of 83 and 125 nM, respectively, for BAE cells. Anti-annexin II monoclonal antibody inhibited angiostatin and plasminogen binding to endothelial cells by 68 and 62%, respectively, supporting our in vitro studies that annexin II is a receptor for angiostatin. Angiostatin-binding protein/annexin II specifically expressed in endothelial cells but not in fibroblasts suggests its EC-specific function. Epsilon-aminocaproic acid, a lys analogue, effectively blocks angiostatin and annexin II interaction, indicating that the lysine-binding domain of AS is required for binding to annexin II. These results suggest that the antiangiogenic action of angiostatin may be mediated via interaction with annexin II. Identification of annexin II as a receptor for angiostatin provides further evidence that clotting and fibrinolytic pathways are directly involved in the angiogenic process.

Abstract
Annexins are abundant and ubiquitous proteins that bind, by their four structurally identical domain cores, to phosphatidylserine-containing membranes in the presence of Ca2+. Using molecular simulation and mutagenesis, we have identified a new phosphatidylserine-binding site in annexin V domain 1 and established its structure. The residues involved in this site constitute a consensus sequence highly conserved in all annexins. Remarkably, this consensus sequence is exclusively found in domains 1 or 2, sometimes in both, but never in domains 3 and 4. Such a pattern actually delineates three classes of annexins, shedding new light on the role played by the four-domain core of annexins that could encode specific information discriminating the different annexins that compete within a given cell for membrane binding. Our findings thus provide new strategies for understanding the regulation of the cellular functions of annexins.

Abstract
Annexins, protein kinases C and cytosolic phospholipase A2 belong to three families of ubiquitous cytoplasmic proteins involved in signal transduction. All annexins share the property of binding to phospholipids in the presence of calcium. Most annexins are substrates for protein kinases C except annexin V, the most ubiquitous and abundant annexin. Protein kinases C (PKC) belong to three distinct groups of kinases, conventional PKCs (cPKCs) that depend on calcium, diacylglycerol and negatively charged phospholipids for their activity, novel PKCs (nPKCs) and atypical PKCs (aPKCs), that do not require calcium for their activity, although they both require negatively charged phospholipids. Cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) depends on calcium for its catalytic activity as well as on serine phosphorylation by MAP kinases. We report that annexin V modulates the activity of cPKCs as well as of cPLA2 by interfering with their ability to bind to negatively charged phospholipids and calcium. We propose that annexin V could interfere with the calcium and phospholipid signalling pathway.

Abstract
We have previously characterized three populations of clathrin coated vesicles (CCVs) isolated from bovine adrenocortical tissue and designated them as large, medium and small coated vesicles, i.e., LCV, MCV and SCV, respectively. Here, we show that annexins II and VI, two of the annexins involved in membrane traffic, are present in the three populations of CCVs but with different distributions between coat proteins (CP) and lipidic vesicle membrane. Annexin VI is only associated with the membrane, whatever the CCV population. In contrast, annexin II is differently distributed between coat and membrane, depending on the CCV population. Both annexins are bound to membranes in a calcium-independent manner and solubilization studies in Triton X114 (TX114) suggest that they interact poorly with lipids by hydrophobic interactions. Ligand blotting experiments show that both annexins bind to CCV proteins: annexin II to a 200-kDa component in all CCVs and annexin VI to a 100-kDa component in LCV and SCV identified as dynamin, a GTPase essential for endocytic CCV pinching off. Dynamin is tightly associated to annexin VI only in LCVs, the endocytic [transferrin (Tf) positive] vesicles. Our data suggest that annexins II and VI could define specific protein-lipid interaction microdomains that could play a role in the different functions of the CCVs.

Abstract
In this study, we assessed the role of annexin V, a Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, as a regulator of protein kinase C (PKC) and characterized its mechanism of inhibition. Several mutants obtained by oligonucleotide site-directed mutagenesis were tested in vitro on PKC activity in cytosolic fractions from Jurkat cells and on purified PKCalpha. Annexin V inhibited phosphorylation of annexin II by endogenous PKC and phosphorylation of myelin basic protein by PKCalpha. In both systems, the use of single Ca2+-binding-site mutants of annexin V led to a partial reversal of inhibition, and the Ca2+-binding site located in the first domain of annexin V was found to have the most important role. An increase in the number of mutated Ca2+-binding sites led to a greater loss of inhibition. These results corroborated those showing the progressive loss of binding of these mutants to phospholipid liposomes. In conclusion, we show that PKC inhibition by annexin V is the consequence of a mechanism involving phospholipid sequestration by annexin V, and that the Ca2+-binding site located in domain 1 of annexin V plays a predominant role in this process. In addition, we show that the R122AIK site, which may act analogously to a PKC-inhibitory pseudosubstrate site, is not involved in PKC inhibition, and that a peptide corresponding to the C-terminal tail of annexin V inhibits PKC activity but to a lesser extent than annexin V itself.

Abstract
Annexins are a family of calcium-binding proteins that have been implicated in a wide range of intracellular processes. We have previously reported that stimulation of platelets with agents that increase intracellular [Ca2+] induces the relocation of annexin V to membranes, and that this annexin V may be binding to a 50 kDa protein located within platelet membranes. We report here, using an in vitro reconstitution system, that the relocation of annexin V to membranes is enhanced by ATP. We also demonstrate that when adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]-triphosphate, which can replace ATP in phosphorylation reactions, is substituted for ATP, the amount of annexin V that binds to membranes is further increased. In separate experiments using intact cells, we show that the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid mimics the action of the physiological agonist thrombin, in that it induces annexin V to bind to membranes and that the addition of the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine inhibits A23187-induced relocation of annexin V. In addition, alkaline phosphatase, when added to isolated membranes, was found to remove endogenous annexin V from the membranes. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation of 33P-labelled proteins indicated that annexin V may form a multi-protein complex including phosphoproteins of 25, 50 and 83 kDa. Taken together these observations suggest that, following physiological activation, the phosphorylation of one or more proteins is responsible for the tight association of annexin V with platelet membranes and the subsequent regulation of membrane localized processes.

Abstract
Annexins are a major family of intracellular Ca2+-binding proteins which have been implicated in a variety of cellular functions. Several conflicting reports have been published on the location of annexin V in the heart. In this paper we have used confocal microscopy to demonstrate that annexin V is associated with the sarcolemma and intercalated discs of cardiac myocytes in sections of adult porcine and rat heart. In addition, we have used confocal microscopy of isolated rat myocytes to show that this association is stable even after cells were treated with the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA-AM, to reduce cytosolic calcium levels to very low levels. This demonstrates that annexin V associates tightly with the sarcolemma and suggests that components in addition to phospholipid are involved in binding annexin V to the membrane. Furthermore, we show that, in sections of the neonatal rat left ventricle, annexin V has a different subcellular location than that observed in the terminally differentiated adult myocyte. In these differentiating neonatal cells, annexin V is also located in the nucleoplasm and at the periphery of the nucleus. These results demonstrate that the subcellular location of annexin V is differentially regulated and suggest that annexin V regulates calcium-dependent processes at both the sarcolemma and the nucleus.

Abstract
Annexin V belongs to a family of proteins that interact with phospholipids in a Ca2+-dependent manner. This protein has been demonstrated to have anti-phospholipase A2 activity. However, this effect has never yet been reported with the 85-kDa cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2). We studied, in a model of differentiated and streptolysin O-permeabilized HL-60 cells, the effect of annexin V on cPLA2 activity after stimulation by calcium, GTPgammaS (guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)), formyl-Met-Leu-Phe, or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Both recombinant and human placental purified annexin V inhibit cPLA2 activity whatever the stimulus used. The decrease of arachidonic acid release is of 40 and 50%, respectively, at [Ca2+] of 3 and 10 microM. The mechanism of inhibition was also analyzed. cPLA2 requires calcium and protein kinase C (PKC) or mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation for its activation. As annexin V was shown to be an endogenous inhibitor of PKC, PKC-stimulated cPLA2 activity was analyzed. Using GF109203x, a specific PKC inhibitor, we demonstrated that this pathway is of minor importance in our model. cPLA2 inhibition by annexin V is not linked to PKC inhibition. To test the hypothesis of phospholipid depletion, mutants of annexin V were constructed using mutagenesis directed to Ca2+ site. We demonstrate that the Ca2+ site located in domain I is necessary for the inhibitory effect of annexin V on cPLA2 activity. The site in domain IV is also involved but with less efficiency. In contrast, mutations in site II and III do not modify this effect. Moreover, annexin V mutated on all sites does not inhibit cPLA2. Thus, we propose a predominant role of module (I/IV) in the biological action of annexin V, which, in physiological conditions, may control cPLA2 activity by depletion of the phospholipid substrate.

Abstract
The related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase (RAFTK), a recently discovered member of the focal adhesion kinase family, has previously been reported to participate in signal transduction in neuronal cells, megakaryocytes, and B lymphocytes. We have found that RAFTK is constitutively expressed in human T cells and is rapidly phosphorylated upon the activation of the T cell receptor (TCR). This activation also results in an increase in the autophosphorylation and kinase activity of RAFTK. After its stimulation, there was an increase in the association of the src cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase Fyn and the adapter protein Grb2. This association was mediated through the SH2 domains of Fyn and Grb2. RAFTK also co-immunoprecipitates with the SH2 domain of Lck and with the cytoskeletal protein paxillin through its COOH-terminal proline-rich domain. The tyrosine phosphorylation of RAFTK after T cell receptor-mediated stimulation was reduced by the pretreatment of cells with cytochalasin D, suggesting the role of the cytoskeleton in this process. These observations indicate that RAFTK participates in T cell receptor signaling and may act to link signals from the cell surface to the cytoskeleton and thereby affect the host immune response.

Protein kinases C belong to three distinct groups of kinases: cPKCs (conventional PKCs) depend on calcium, diacylglycerol and negatively charged phospholipids for their activity, nPKCs (novel PKCs) depend on diacylglycerol and negatively charged phospholipids and aPKCs (atypical PKCs) only require negatively charged phospholipids. Almost all annexins are both in vitro and in vivo substrates for PKCs except annexin V. All annexins have a putative binding site for PKCs but only annexin V would possess a potential pseudo-substrate site. We propose that annexin V modulates the activity of some cPKCs on their substrates which may be the other annexins.

Abstract
Annexin II is a Ca(2+)-dependent membrane-binding protein present in a wide variety of cells and tissues. Within cells, annexin II is found either as a 36-kD monomer (p36) or as a heterotetrameric complex (p90) coupled with the S-100-related protein, p11. Annexin II has been suggested to be involved in exocytosis as it can restore the secretory responsiveness of permeabilized chromaffin cells. By quantitative confocal immunofluorescence, immunoreplica analysis and immunoprecipitation, we show here the translocation of p36 from the cytosol to a subplasmalemmal Triton X-100 insoluble fraction in chromaffin cells following nicotinic stimulation. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the NH2-terminal domain of p36 which contains the phosphorylation sites was microinjected into individual chromaffin cells and catecholamine secretion was monitored by amperometry. This peptide blocked completely the nicotine-induced recruitment of p36 to the cell periphery and strongly inhibited exocytosis evoked by either nicotine or high K+. The light chain of annexin II, p11, was selectively expressed by adrenergic chromaffin cells, and was only present in the subplasmalemmal Triton X-100 insoluble protein fraction of both resting and stimulated cells. p11 can modify the Ca(2+)- and/or the phospholipid-binding properties of p36. We found that loss Ca2+ was required to stimulate the translocation of p36 and to trigger exocytosis in adrenergic chromaffin cells. Our findings suggest that the translocation of p36 to the subplasmalemmal region is an essential event in regulated exocytosis and support the idea that the presence of p11 in adrenergic cells may confer a higher Ca2+ affinity to the exocytotic pathway in these cells.
