Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum resident protein 57 (ERp57) has a molecular weight of 57 kDa, belongs to the protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI) family, and is primarily located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ERp57 functions in the quality control of nascent synthesized glycoproteins, participates in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule assembly, regulates immune responses, maintains immunogenic cell death (ICD), regulates the unfolded protein response (UPR), functions as a 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) receptor, regulates the NF-κB and STAT3 pathways, and participates in DNA repair processes and cytoskeletal remodeling. Recent studies have reported ERp57 overexpression in various human cancers, and altered expression and aberrant functionality of ERp57 are associated with cancer growth and progression and changes in the chemosensitivity of cancers. ERp57 may become a potential biomarker and therapeutic target to combat cancer development and chemoresistance. Here, we summarize the available knowledge of the role of ERp57 in cancer and the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Accumulation of unfolded antibody chains in the ER triggers ER stress that may lead to reduced productivity in therapeutic antibody manufacturing processes. We identified UBR4 and UBR5 as ubiquitin E3 ligases involved in HC ER-associated degradation. Knockdown of UBR4 and UBR5 resulted in intracellular accumulation, enhanced secretion, and reduced ubiquitination of HC. In concert with these E3 ligases, PDIA3 was shown to cleave ubiquitinated HC molecules to accelerate HC dislocation. Interestingly, UBR5, and to a lesser degree UBR4, were down-regulated as cellular demand for antibody expression increased in CHO cells during the production phase, or in plasma B cells. Reducing UBR4/UBR5 expression before the production phase increased antibody productivity in CHO cells, possibly by redirecting antibody molecules from degradation to secretion. Altogether we have characterized a novel proteolysis/proteasome-dependent pathway involved in degradation of unfolded antibody HC. Proteins characterized in this pathway may be novel targets for CHO cell engineering.

Abstract
Unlike closely related GPCRs, protease-activated receptors (PAR1, PAR2, PAR3, and PAR4) have a predicted signal peptide at their N-terminus, which is encoded by a separate exon, suggesting that the signal peptides of PARs may serve an important and unique function, specific for PARs. In this report, we show that the PAR2 signal peptide, when fused to the N-terminus of IgG-Fc, effectively induced IgG-Fc secretion into culture medium, thus behaving like a classical signal peptide. The presence of PAR2 signal peptide has a strong effect on PAR2 cell surface expression, as deletion of the signal peptide (PAR2ΔSP) led to dramatic reduction of the cell surface expression and decreased responses to trypsin or the synthetic peptide ligand (SLIGKV). However, further deletion of the tethered ligand region (SLIGKV) at the N-terminus rescued the cell surface receptor expression and the response to the synthetic peptide ligand, suggesting that the signal peptide of PAR2 may be involved in preventing PAR2 from intracellular protease activation before reaching the cell surface. Supporting this hypothesis, an Arg36Ala mutation on PAR2ΔSP, which disabled the trypsin activation site, increased the receptor cell surface expression and the response to ligand stimulation. Similar effects were observed when PAR2ΔSP expressing cells were treated with protease inhibitors. Our findings indicated that there is a role of the PAR2 signal peptide in preventing the premature activation of PAR2 from intracellular protease cleavage before reaching the cells surface. The same mechanism may also apply to PAR1, PAR3, and PAR4.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) make up only a small fraction of cellular phospholipids, yet they control almost all aspects of a cell's life and death. These lipids gained tremendous research interest as plasma membrane signaling molecules when discovered in the 1970s and 1980s. Research in the last 15 years has added a wide range of biological processes regulated by PIs, turning these lipids into one of the most universal signaling entities in eukaryotic cells. PIs control organelle biology by regulating vesicular trafficking, but they also modulate lipid distribution and metabolism via their close relationship with lipid transfer proteins. PIs regulate ion channels, pumps, and transporters and control both endocytic and exocytic processes. The nuclear phosphoinositides have grown from being an epiphenomenon to a research area of its own. As expected from such pleiotropic regulators, derangements of phosphoinositide metabolism are responsible for a number of human diseases ranging from rare genetic disorders to the most common ones such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Moreover, it is increasingly evident that a number of infectious agents hijack the PI regulatory systems of host cells for their intracellular movements, replication, and assembly. As a result, PI converting enzymes began to be noticed by pharmaceutical companies as potential therapeutic targets. This review is an attempt to give an overview of this enormous research field focusing on major developments in diverse areas of basic science linked to cellular physiology and disease.

Arch Biochem Biophys 2013; 537:104-12. [PMID: 23827315 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2013.06.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2013] [Revised: 06/20/2013] [Accepted: 06/21/2013] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Apolipoprotein B100 (apoB), the structural component of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), is susceptible to misfolding and subsequent degradation by several intracellular pathways. ER-60, which has been implicated in apoB degradation, is a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) that forms or rearranges disulfide bonds in substrate proteins and also possesses cysteine protease activity. To determine which ER-60 function is important for apoB degradation, adenoviruses encoding wild-type human ER-60 or a mutant form of human ER-60 (C60A, C409A) that lacked cysteine protease activity were overexpressed in HepG2 cells. Overexpression of wild-type ER-60 in HepG2 cells promoted apoB degradation and impaired apoB secretion, but mutant ER-60 overexpression did not. In McArdle RH-7777 cells, VLDL secretion was markedly inhibited following overexpression of wild-type but not mutant ER-60, an effect that could be blocked by oleate treatment. Mutant ER-60 was not trapped on apoB as it was with the control substrate tapasin, suggesting that ER-60's role in apoB degradation is likely unrelated to its protein disulfide isomerase activity. Thus, ER-60 may participate in apoB degradation by acting as a cysteine protease. We postulate that apoB cleavage by ER-60 within the ER lumen could facilitate proteasomal degradation of the C-terminus of translocationally-arrested apoB.

Abstract
All newly synthesized proteins are subject to quality control check-points, which prevent aberrant polypeptides from harming the cell. For proteins that ultimately reside in the cytoplasm, components that also reside in the cytoplasm were known for many years to mediate quality control. Early biochemical and genetic data indicated that misfolded proteins were selected by molecular chaperones and then targeted to the proteasome (in eukaryotes) or to proteasome-like particles (in bacteria) for degradation. What was less clear was how secreted and integral membrane proteins, which in eukaryotes enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), were subject to quality control decisions. In this review, we highlight early studies that ultimately led to the discovery that secreted and integral membrane proteins also utilize several components that constitute the cytoplasmic quality control machinery. This component of the cellular quality control pathway is known as ER associated degradation, or ERAD. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Functional and structural diversity of endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
A protein-degradation pathway associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can selectively remove polypeptides from the secretory pathway. The mechanisms of this ER-associated protein degradation were obscure, but recent studies using both yeast and mammalian cells have indicated that substrates for degradation are targeted to the cytosol where proteolysis is catalysed by the proteasome. The degradation process is now known to comprise at least three distinct events: first, recognition of a polypeptide for degradation; second, efflux of this substrate from the ER to the cytosol; and, finally, degradation by the proteasome. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding how each of these steps is achieved.

Abstract
Background The pleiotropic effects of 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins), which are independent from their cholesterol-lowering action, have been widely recognized in various biological systems. Statins can affect endothelial homeostasis, which is partly modulated by the production of nitric oxide (NO). However, it is unclear how statin/NO-mediated posttranslational S-nitrosylation of endothelial proteins and changes in translational profiles may benefit endothelial integrity. Therefore, it is important to understand the statin/NO-mediated S-nitrosylation in endothelial cells. Results Rosuvastatin treatment of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECs) enhanced the enzymatic activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and the expression of 78 S-nitrosoproteins. Among these S-nitrosoproteins, we identified 17 proteins, including protein disulfide bond isomerase, phospholipase C, transaldolase and heat shock proteins. Furthermore, a hydrophobic Cys66 was determined as the S-nitrosylation site of the mitochondrial HSP70. In addition to the statin-modulated posttranslational S-nitrosylation, changes in the NO-mediated translational proteome were also observed. Seventeen major proteins were significantly upregulated after rosuvastatin treatment. However, 12 of these proteins were downregulated after pretreating ECs with an eNOS inhibitor (L-NAME), which indicated that their expression was modulated by NO. Conclusions ECs treated with rosuvastatin increase eNOS activation. The increased NO production is involved in modulating S-nitrosylation and translation of proteins. We provide further evidence of the pleiotropic effect of rosuvastatin on endothelial physiology.

Abstract
ER60 protease, a 58-kDa molecular chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum, is involved in glycoprotein synthesis. ER60 protease has been reported to be differentially expressed in various cancers including breast carcinoma. This study explored the relationship of ER60 protease with cell proliferation in breast cancer in vitro. ER60 protease expression was first determined in a panel of breast cell lines by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis and found to be most abundantly expressed in T47D breast cancer cells. The ER60 protease gene was then successfully knocked down in T47D breast cancer cells using two different sequences of small-interfering RNA. The silencing efficiencies of siER-1 and siER-2 at 48-hr post-transfection were found to be >80% at the mRNA level with concomitant downregulation of the ER60 protease protein by >60% when compared with control T47D breast cancer cells. Downregulation of ER60 protease was also associated with inhibition of cell proliferation when assessed by the AlamarBlue assay. Cell cycle analysis performed on the siER-1- and siER-2-transfected cells, revealed an increase in G1 phase population and a decrease in the S and G2/M phase populations compared with control cells, implicating G1/S cell cycle arrest. It would appear that ER60 protease is involved in breast tumorigenesis and could therefore be a prospective target for cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Approximately one-third of all newly translated polypeptides interact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an event that is essential to target these nascent proteins to distinct compartments within the cell or to the extracellular milieu. Thus, the ER houses molecular chaperones that augment the folding of this diverse group of macromolecules. The ER also houses the enzymes that catalyze a multitude of posttranslational modifications. If, however, proteins misfold or are improperly modified in the ER they are proteolyzed via a process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). During ERAD, substrates are selected by molecular chaperones and chaperone-like proteins. They are then delivered to the cytoplasmic proteasome and hydrolyzed. In most cases, delivery and proteasome-targeting require the covalent attachment of ubiquitin. The discovery and underlying mechanisms of the ERAD pathway have been aided by the development of in vitro assays that employ components derived from the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These assays recapitulate the selection of ERAD substrates, the "retrotranslocation" of selected polypeptides from the ER into the cytoplasm, and the proteasome-mediated degradation of the substrate. The ubiquitination of integral membrane ERAD substrates has also been reconstituted.

Abstract
The function of the peptide-loading complex (PLC) is to facilitate loading of MHC class I (MHC I) molecules with antigenic peptides in the endoplasmic reticulum and to drive the selection of these ligands toward a set of high-affinity binders. When the PLC fails to perform properly, as frequently observed in virus-infected or tumor cells, structurally unstable MHC I peptide complexes are generated, which are prone to disintegrate instead of presenting Ags to cytotoxic T cells. In this study we show that a second quality control checkpoint dependent on the serine protease proprotein convertase 7 (PC7) can rescue unstable MHC I, whereas the related convertase furin is completely dispensable. Cells with a malfunctioning PLC and silenced for PC7 have substantially reduced MHC I surface levels caused by high instability and significantly delayed surface accumulation of these molecules. Instead of acquiring stability along the secretory route, MHC I appears to get largely routed to lysosomes for degradation in these cells. Moreover, mass spectrometry analysis provides evidence that lack of PLC quality control and/or loss of PC7 expression alters the MHC I-presented peptide profile. Finally, using exogenously applied peptide precursors, we show that liberation of MHC I epitopes may directly require PC7. We demonstrate for the first time an important function for PC7 in MHC I-mediated Ag presentation.

Abstract
The reaction pathways of deprotonation versus nucleophilic substitution involving mPGES-2 enzyme catalysis were investigated by ab initio molecular orbital theory calculations for the reaction of methylthiolate with the endoperoxide core of PGH(2) and by the combined quantum mechanical molecular mechanical methods. The calculations showed that deprotonation mechanism is energetically more favorable than the nucleophilic substitution pathway.

Abstract
Human endothelial lipase (EL) is a member of a family of lipases and phospholipases that are involved in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. EL displays a preference to hydrolyze lipids in HDL. We report here that a naturally occurring low frequency coding variant in the EL gene (LIPG), glycine-26 to serine (G26S), is significantly more common in African-American individuals with elevated HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. To test the hypothesis that this variant results in reduced EL function, we extensively characterized and compared the catalytic and noncatalytic functions of the G26S variant and wild-type (WT) EL. While the catalytic-specific activity of G26S EL is similar to WT EL, its secretion is markedly reduced. Consistent with this observation, we found that carriers of the G26S variant had significantly reduced plasma levels of EL protein. Thus, this N-terminal variant results in reduced secretion of EL protein, plausibly leading to increased HDL-C levels.

Abstract
Dopamine oxidation has been previously demonstrated to cause dysfunction in mitochondrial respiration and membrane permeability, possibly related to covalent modification of critical proteins by the reactive dopamine quinone. However, specific mitochondrial protein targets have not been identified. In this study, we utilized proteomic techniques to identify proteins directly conjugated with (14)C-dopamine from isolated rat brain mitochondria exposed to radiolabeled dopamine quinone (150 microM) and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells treated with (14)C-dopamine (150 microM). We observed a subset of rat brain mitochondrial proteins that were covalently modified by (14)C-dopamine, including chaperonin, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 1, glucose regulated protein 75/mitochondrial HSP70/mortalin, mitofilin, and mitochondrial creatine kinase. We also found the Parkinson's disease associated proteins ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 and DJ-1 to be covalently modified by dopamine in both brain mitochondrial preparations and SH-SY5Y cells. The susceptibility of the identified proteins to covalent modification by dopamine may carry implications for their role in the vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
We defined the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of rat ageing skeletal muscle using a combined cDNA array, 2D- and Blue native-PAGE approach. This was allowed to obtain an overview of the interrelated events leading to the transcriptome/proteome/mitoproteome changes likely to underlie the structural/metabolic features of aged skeletal muscle. The main differences were found in genes/proteins related to energy metabolism, mitochondrial pathways, myofibrillar filaments, and detoxification. Concerning the abundance of mitochondrial OXPHOS complexes as well as their supramolecular organization and activity, mitochondria from old rats, when compared with those from young rats, contained significantly lower amounts of complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), V (FoF1-ATP synthase), and III (ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase). The same mitochondria contained a significantly larger amount of complex II (succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), but an unchanged amount of complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase, COX). When comparing the supercomplex profiles between young and old muscle mitochondria, the densitometric analysis revealed that lighter supercomplexes were significantly reduced in older mitochondria, and that in the older group the major supercomplex bands were those representing heavier supercomplexes, likely suggesting a compensatory mechanism that, in ageing muscle, is functionally directed towards substrate channeling and catalytic enhancement advantaging the respirosome.

Abstract
Females are reported to be highly susceptible to alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) compared to the males. Although a variety of mechanisms have been proposed to explain this higher sensitivity of females, the precise mechanism is not well understood. The objective of this study was to identify changes in global protein expression in liver tissues of male and female rats with pathologically evident ASH by 2-DE (dimensional electrophoresis). ASH was induced in the SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats by feeding ethanol (EtOH) containing Lieber-DeCarli diet for 6 wk followed by a single injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 mg/kg, i.p.). Higher liver injury in females in the ASH group as compared to the males was confirmed by HE stained liver sections. As identified by 2-DE, 22 protein-spots were differentially expressed in the females in the ASH group as compared to the males. Following identification of these proteins by MALDI-MS, they were mainly categorized into metabolism and oxidative stress-related proteins. The expression pattern of a few of these oxidative stress-related proteins like Ferritin Heavy chain (Ferritin-H chain), ER stress protein 60 (ER 60) and Heat-shock protein-60 (HSP 60) were verified by Western blotting. To conclude, the current study has identified a set of proteins that highlights potential novel mechanisms associated with higher liver injury noted in the female rat ASH model.

Abstract
Protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is monitored by ER quality control (ERQC) mechanisms. Proteins that pass ERQC criteria traffic to their final destinations through the secretory pathway, whereas non-native and unassembled subunits of multimeric proteins are degraded by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. During ERAD, molecular chaperones and associated factors recognize and target substrates for retrotranslocation to the cytoplasm, where they are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome machinery. The discovery of diseases that are associated with ERAD substrates highlights the importance of this pathway. Here, we summarize our current understanding of each step during ERAD, with emphasis on the factors that catalyse distinct activities.

Abstract
Background Methyl-CpG binding domain protein 1 (MBD1), a suppressor of gene transcription, may be involved in inactivation of tumor suppressor genes during tumorigenesis. Over-expression of MBD1 has been reported in human pancreatic carcinomas. Methods In this study, we established a MBD1-knock-down pancreatic cancer cell line (BxPC-3) using stable RNA interference, to compare the proteomic changes between control and MBD1-knock-down cells using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Results We identified five proteins that were up-regulated and nine proteins that were down-regulated. Most of the identified proteins are involved in tumorigenesis, some are prognostic biomarkers for human malignant tumors. Conclusion Our data suggest that these differential proteins may be associated with the function of MBD1, and provide some insight into the functional mechanism of MBD1 in the development of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
A single residue polymorphism distinguishes HLA-B*4402(D116) from HLA-B*4405(Y116), which was suggested to allow HLA-B*4405 to acquire peptides without binding to tapasin-TAP complexes. We show that HLA-B*4405 is not inherently unable to associate with tapasin-TAP complexes. Under conditions of peptide deficiency, both allotypes bound efficiently to TAP and tapasin, and furthermore, random nonamer peptides conferred higher thermostability to HLA-B*4405 than to HLA-B*4402. Correspondingly, under conditions of peptide sufficiency, more rapid peptide-loading, dissociation from TAP complexes, and endoplasmic reticulum exit were observed for HLA-B*4405, whereas HLA-B*4402 showed greater endoplasmic reticulum retention and enhanced tapasin-TAP binding. Together, these studies suggest that position 116 HLA polymorphisms influence peptide occupancy, which in turn determines binding to tapasin and TAP. Relative to HLA-B*4405, inefficient peptide loading of HLA-B*4402 is likely to underlie its stronger tapasin dependence for cell surface expression and thermostability, and its enhanced susceptibility to pathogen interference strategies.

Abstract
Misfolded proteins are removed from the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) by retrotranslocation to the cytosol and degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system in a process designated ERAD (ER-associated degradation). Analysing the turnover of a misfolded form of the ER-resident chaperone BiP (heavy-chain binding protein) (BiPDeltaA), we found that the degradation of BiPDeltaA did not follow this general ERAD pathway. In transfected cells, BiPDeltaA was degraded, although proteasome-dependent ERAD was inactivated either by proteasome inhibitors or by ATP depletion. In semi-permeabilized cells, which did not support the degradation of the proteasomal substrate alpha1-antitrypsin, the degradation of BiPDeltaA was still functional, excluding the Golgi apparatus or lysosomes as the degradative compartment. The degradation of BiPDeltaA was recapitulated in biosynthetically loaded brain microsomes and in an extract of luminal ER proteins. In contrast with proteasome-dependent ERAD, degradation fragments were detectable inside the microsomes and in the extract, and the degradation was prevented by a serine protease inhibitor. These results show that the degradation of BiPDeltaA was initiated in the ER lumen by a serine protease, and support the view that proteasome-independent ERAD pathways exist.

Abstract
The inability of the CNS to regenerate in adult mammals propels us to reveal associated proteins involved in the injured CNS. In this paper, either thoracic laminectomy (as sham control) or thoracic spinal cord transection was performed on male adult rats. Five days after surgery, the whole spinal cord tissue was dissected and fractionated into water-soluble (dissolved in Tris buffer) and water-insoluble (dissolved in a solution containing chaotropes and surfactants) portions for 2-DE. Protein identification was performed by MS and further confirmed by Western blot. As a result, over 30 protein spots in the injured spinal cord were shown to be up-regulated no less than 1.5-fold. These identified proteins possibly play various roles during the injury and repair process and may be functionally categorized as several different groups, such as stress-responsive and metabolic changes, lipid and protein degeneration, neural survival and regeneration. In particular, over-expression of 11-zinc finger protein and glypican may be responsible for the inhibition of axonal growth and regeneration. Moreover, three unknown proteins with novel sequences were found to be up-regulated by spinal cord injury. Further characterization of these molecules may help us come closer to understanding the mechanisms that underlie the inability of the adult CNS to regenerate.

Abstract
Folding of secretory proteins is associated with the formation and isomerization of disulfide bonds. ERp72, a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family member, possesses 3 thioredoxin homology domains, but the participation of each domain in disulfide-bond formation and isomerization remains to be determined. We analyzed the function of individual domains in the insulin reduction assay system by site-directed mutagenesis with cysteine-to-serine replacement. All domains contributed to apparent steady-state binding (Km) and catalysis at saturating substrate concentrations (kcat) but in different manners. A mutant ERp72 with mutations in domains 1 and 2 (ERp72-mut-1+2) exhibited reductions in kcat of 73.9% when compared with wild type, whereas ERp72-mut-1+3 (mutations in domains 1 and 3) and ERp72-mut-2+3 (mutations in domains 2 and 3) exhibited less substantial reductions in kcat. ERp72-mut-1+3 and ERp72-mut-2+3 showed elevations in Km of 89.9% and 96.2%, respectively, when compared with wild type, whereas ERp72-mut-1+2 exhibited smaller elevations in Km. These results suggest that domains 1 and 2 make greater contributions to catalyzing efficacy and domain 3 to binding affinity. Domain 2 is involved in binding affinity, in combination with domain 3, in addition to its own contribution to catalyzing efficacy. This assignment of functions to individual domains is similar to that observed in other PDI domains, which is consistent with the high sequence homology between ERp and PDI domains.

Abstract
The transporter associated with Ag processing (TAP) translocates antigenic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum for binding onto MHC class I (MHC I) molecules. Tapasin organizes a peptide-loading complex (PLC) by recruiting MHC I and accessory chaperones to the N-terminal regions (N domains) of the TAP subunits TAP1 and TAP2. To investigate the function of the tapasin-docking sites of TAP in MHC I processing, we expressed N-terminally truncated variants of TAP1 and TAP2 in combination with wild-type chains, as fusion proteins or as single subunits. Strikingly, TAP variants lacking the N domain in TAP2, but not in TAP1, build PLCs that fail to generate stable MHC I-peptide complexes. This correlates with a substantially reduced recruitment of accessory chaperones into the PLC demonstrating their important role in the quality control of MHC I loading. However, stable surface expression of MHC I can be rescued in post-endoplasmic reticulum compartments by a proprotein convertase-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
We previously reported that the reductive activities of yeast protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) family proteins did not completely explain their contribution to the viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Kimura, T., Hosoda, Y., Kitamura, Y., Nakamura, H., Horibe, T., and Kikuchi, M. (2004) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 320, 359-365). In this study, we examined oxidative refolding activities and found that Mpd1p, Mpd2, and Eug1p exhibit activities of 13.8, 16.0, and 2.16%, respectively, compared with Pdi1p and that activity for Eps1p is undetectable. In analyses of interactions between yeast PDI proteins and endoplasmic reticulum molecular chaperones, we found that Mpd1p alone does not have chaperone activity but that it interacts with and inhibits the chaperone activity of Cne1p, a homologue of mammalian calnexin, and that Cne1p increases the reductive activity of Mpd1p. These results suggest that the interface between Mpd1p and Cne1p is near the peptide-binding site of Cne1p. In addition, Eps1p interacts with Pdi1p, Eug1p, Mpd1p, and Kar2p with dissociation constants (KD) in the range of 10(-7) to 10(-6). Interestingly, co-chaperone activities were completely suppressed in Eps1p-Pdi1p and Eps1p-Mpd1p complexes, although only Eps1p and Pdi1p have chaperone activity. The in vivo consequences of these results are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, we screened for protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)-binding proteins in bovine liver microsomes under strict salt concentrations, using affinity column chromatography. One main band observed using SDS-PAGE was identified as ERp57 (one of the PDI family proteins) by LC-MS/MS analysis. The K(D) value of PDI binding to ERp57 was calculated as 5.46x10(-6)M with the BIACORE system. The interactions between PDI and ERp57 occurred specifically at their a and b domains, respectively. Interestingly, low concentrations of ERp57 enhanced the chaperone activity of PDI, while high concentrations interfered with chaperone activity. On the other hand, ERp57 did not affect the isomerase activity of PDI. Additionally, following pre-incubation of ERp57 with calreticulin (CRT), decreased interactions were observed between ERp57 and PDI, and vice versa. Based on the data, we propose that once ERp57 binds to PDI or CRT, the resultant complex inhibits further interactions. Therefore, ERp57 selectively forms a protein-folding complex with PDI or CRT in ER.

Abstract
To identify the mechanisms underlying muscle aging, we have undertaken a high-resolution differential proteomic analysis of gastrocnemius muscle in young adults, mature adults, and old LOU/c/jall rats. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and subsequent MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry analyses led to the identification of 40 differentially expressed proteins. Strikingly, most differences characterized old (30-month) animals, whereas young (7-month) and mature (18-month) adults exhibited similar patterns of expression. Important modifications in contractile (actin, myosin light-chains, troponins-T) and cytoskeletal (desmin, tubulin) proteins, and in essential regulatory proteins (gelsolin, myosin binding proteins, CapZ-beta, P23), likely account for dysfunctions in old muscle force generation and speed of contraction. Other features support decreases in cytosolic (triose-phosphate isomerase, enolase, glycerol-3-P dehydrogenase, creatine kinase) and mitochondrial (isocitrate dehydrogenase, cytochrome-c oxidase) energy metabolisms. Muscle aging is often associated with increased oxidative stress. Accordingly, we observed differential regulation of molecular chaperones (hsp20, hsp27, reticuloplasmin ER60) and of proteins implicated in reactive aldehyde detoxification (aldehyde dehydrogenase, glutathione transferase, glyoxalase). We further noticed up-regulation of proteins involved in transcriptional elongation (RNA capping protein) and RNA-editing (Apobec2). Most of these proteins were previously unrecognized as differentially expressed in old muscles, and they represent novel starting points for elucidating the mechanisms of muscle aging.

Abstract
Polyclonal antibodies that had been raised against particular PDI (protein disulphide-isomerase) family proteins did not cross-react with other PDI family proteins. To evade immune tolerance to the important self-motif Cys-Xaa-Xaa-Cys, which is present in PDI family proteins, we used the phage display library [established by Griffiths, Williams, Hartley, Tomlinson, Waterhouse, Crosby, Kontermann, Jones, Low, Allison et al. (1994) EMBO J. 13, 3245-3260] to isolate successfully the phage antibodies that can cross-react with human and bovine PDIs, human P5, human PDI-related protein and yeast PDI. By measuring the binding of scFv (single-chain antibody fragment of variable region) to synthetic peptides and to mutants of PDI family proteins in a surface plasmon resonance apparatus, we identified clones that recognized sequences containing the CGHC motif or the CGHCK sequence. By using the isolated phage antibodies, we demonstrated for the first time that a lysine residue following the CXXC motif significantly increases the isomerase activities of PDI family proteins. Moreover, we demonstrated that the affinity of isolated scFvs for mutant PDI family proteins is proportional to the isomerase activities of their active sites.

Abstract
The diversity of selenoproteins raises the question of why many life forms require selenium. Especially in photosynthetic organisms, the biochemical basis for the requirement for selenium is unclear because there is little information on selenoproteins. We found six selenium-containing proteins in a haptophyte alga, Emiliania huxleyi, which requires selenium for growth. The 27-kDa protein EhSEP2 was isolated, and its cDNA was cloned. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed that EhSEP2 is homologous to protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and contains a highly conserved thioredoxin domain. The nucleotide sequence contains an in-frame TGA codon encoding selenocysteine at the position corresponding to the cysteine residue in the reaction center of known PDIs. However, no typical selenocysteine insertion sequence was found in the EhSEP2 cDNA. The EhSEP2 mRNA level was related to the abundance of selenium. E. huxleyi possesses a novel PDI-like selenoprotein and may have a novel type of selenocysteine insertion machinery.

Abstract
Recently, it became clear that aminoglycoside antibiotics affect protein-protein interactions involving protein disulfide isomerase as well as protein synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study, we used affinity column chromatography to screen gentamicin-binding proteins in microsomes derived from bovine kidney in order to learn about the possible mechanisms of gentamicin-associated nephrotoxicity. One of the gentamicin-binding proteins was identified as calreticulin (CRT) by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. Interestingly, gentamicin inhibited the chaperone and oxidative refolding activities of CRT when N-glycosylated substrates such as alpha1-antitrypsin and alpha-mannosidase were used as substrates, but it did not inhibit the chaperone activity of CRT when unglycosylated citrate synthase was used. Moreover, CRT suppressed the aggregation of deglycosylated and denatured alpha-mannosidase, but gentamicin did not inhibit its chaperone activity. Experiments with domain mutants suggest that the lectin site of CRT is the main target for gentamicin binding and that binding of gentamicin to this site inhibits the chaperone activity of CRT.

Abstract
Co- and posttranslational regulation of apolipoprotein B (apoB) has been postulated to involve degradation by both proteasomal and nonproteasomal pathways; however, nonproteasomal mechanisms of apoB degradation are currently unknown. We have previously demonstrated an intracellular association of newly synthesized apoB with endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-60, an ER-localized protein, possessing both proteolytic and chaperone activities. In the present paper, adenoviral expression vectors containing rat ER-60 cDNA were used to achieve dose- and time-dependent overexpression of ER-60 to investigate its role in apoB100 turnover. Overexpressed ER-60 accumulated in the microsomal lumen of HepG2 cells and was associated with apoB100 in dense lipoprotein particles. Overexpression of ER-60 in HepG2 cells significantly reduced both intracellular and secreted apoB100, with no effect on the secretion of a control protein, albumin. Similar results were obtained in McA-RH7777 rat hepatoma cells. ER-60-stimulated apoB100 degradation and inhibition of apoB100 secretion were sensitive to the protease inhibitor, p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB), in a dose-dependent manner but were unaffected by the proteasomal or lysosomal protease inhibitors, N-acetyl-leucinyl-leucinyl-nor-leucinal, E64, and leupeptin. Interestingly, enhanced expression of ER-60 induced apoB100 fragmentation in permeabilized HepG2 cells and resulted in detection of a unique 50 kDa degradation intermediate, a process that could be inhibited by pCMB. Intracellular stability and secretion of apoB100 in primary hamster hepatocytes were also found to be sensitive to pCMB. When taken together, the data suggest an important role for ER-60 in promoting apoB100 degradation via a pCMB-sensitive process in the ER. ER-60 may act directly as a protease or may be involved indirectly as a chaperone/protein factor targeting apoB100 to this nonproteasomal and pCMB-sensitive degradative pathway.

Abstract
Previously, it has been reported that a mammalian protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), when expressed on a single copy number plasmid, can rescue growth of a PDI1-disrupted yeast. However, here, for the first time we demonstrated by tetrad analysis that human PDI (hPDI) is unable to replace yeast PDI (yPDI) when hPDI cDNA is integrated into the yeast chromosome. This observation indicates that hPDI is not functionally equivalent to yPDI. Estimation of the actual copy number of the plasmid, as well as comparison of isomerase and chaperone activities between human and yeast PDI homologues, indicates that one copy of hPDI cDNA is not sufficient to rescue the PDI1-disrupted strain. Notably, the isomerase activities of yPDI family proteins, Mpd1p, Mpd2p, and Eug1p, were extremely low, although yPDI itself exhibited twice as much isomerase activity as hPDI in vitro. Moreover, with the exception of Mpd1p, all hPDI and yPDI family proteins had chaperone activity, this being particularly strong in the case of yPDI and Mpd2p. These observations indicate that the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is completely dependent on the isomerase activity of yPDI.

Abstract
Quality control mechanisms in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ensure that misfolded proteins are recognized and targeted for degradation. According to the current view of ER-associated degradation (ERAD), the degradation does not occur in the ER itself but requires the retrotranslocation of the proteins to the cytosol where they are degraded by proteasomes. Although this model appears to be valid for many different proteins a number of exceptions from this rule suggest that additional proteasome-independent ERAD pathways may exist. In this review, we will summarize what is known about these alternative ERAD pathways.

Abstract
Bile salts (BS) inhibit the secretion of apolipoprotein B (apoB) and triacylglycerol (TG) in primary rat, mouse and human hepatocytes and in mice in vivo. We investigated whether lipidation of apoB into a lipoprotein particle is required for this inhibitory action of BS. The sodium/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (Ntcp) was co-expressed in McArdle-RH7777 (McA-RH7777) cells stably expressing the full-length human apoB100 (h-apoB100, secreted as TG-rich lipoprotein particles) or carboxyl-truncated human apoB18 (h-apoB18, secreted in lipid-free form). The doubly transfected cell lines (h-apoB/r-Ntcp) effectively accumulated taurocholic acid (TC). TC incubation decreased the secretion of endogenous rat apoB100 (-50%) and h-apoB18 (-35%), but did not affect secretion of rat apoA-I. Pulse-chase experiments (35S-methionine) indicated that the impaired secretion of radiolabeled h-apoB18 and h-apoB100 was associated with accelerated intracellular degradation. The calpain protease inhibitor N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal (ALLN) partially inhibited intracellular apoB degradation but did not affect the amount of either h-apoB18 or h-apoB100 secreted into the medium, indicating that inhibition of apoB secretion by TC is not due to calpain-dependent proteasomal degradation. We conclude that TC does not inhibit apoB secretion by interference with its lipidation, but rather involves a mechanism dependent on the N-terminal end of apoB.

Abstract
Plants are increasingly used as production platforms of various heterologous proteins, but rapid protein turnover can seriously limit the steady-state expression level. Little is known about specific plant proteases involved in this process. In an attempt to obtain potato (Solanum tuberosum cv Desirée) plants resistant to Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) larvae, the protease inhibitor equistatin was expressed under the control of strong, light-inducible and constitutive promoters and was targeted to the secretory pathway with and without endoplasmic reticulum retention signal. All constructs yielded similar stepwise protein degradation patterns, which considerably reduced the amount of active inhibitor in planta and resulted in insufficient levels for resistance against Colorado potato beetle larvae. Affinity purification of the degradation products and N-terminal sequencing allowed the identification of the amino acid P(1)-positions (asparagine [Asn]-13, lysine-56, Asn-82, and arginine-151) that were cleaved in planta. The proteases involved in the equistatin degradation were characterized with synthetic substrates and inhibitors. Kininogen domain 3 completely inhibited equistatin degradation in vitro. The results indicate that arginine/lysine-specific and legumain-type Asn-specific cysteine proteases seriously impede the functional accumulation of recombinant equistatin in planta. General strategies to improve the resistance to proteases of heterologous proteins in plants are proposed.

Abstract
Oxidatively modified proteins have been shown to correlate with the age of an organism or its tissues. An increase in tissue-susceptibility to experimentally induced protein oxidation not only depends on tissue type and age, but also on the maximum lifespan potential of the species. A general, although tissue dependent, decline in anti-oxidative defenses during aging may very well be responsible for this difference in vulnerability. In addition, the level of protein modifications also depends on the nature and the subcellular localization of the proteins involved. Damage to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and its subsequent impaired functionality may be involved in the process of aging. This is suggested by; (1) an upregulation of ER stress-response chaperones, (2) a preferential oxidation of ER-resident proteins and, (3) a disturbance of calcium homeostasis. Therefore, this review will focus on the putative involvement of the oxidized endoplasmic reticulum in the process of aging.

Abstract
Previous data obtained in different suspension-cultured plant cells have clearly illustrated that N-glycans are absolutely required for transport of glycoproteins to the extracellular compartment, regardless of their oligosaccharide structure [see Lerouge et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 38: 31 for review]. In the present study the role of N-glycosylation in the transport of glycoproteins to the cell surface was studied in BY2 tobacco cells using both endogenous and recombinant cell wall invertases as markers. When synthesized without their N-glycans, both invertases were very rapidly degraded. This degradation did not occur in an acidic compartment and was brefeldin A-insensitive. Therefore, it most probably represents a pre-Golgi event. However, the low efficiency of specific inhibitors did not favor a strong contribution of proteasomes in this proteolysis. In contrast, addition of a C-terminal His-Asp-Glu-Leu (HDEL) extension prevented arrival of these non-glycosylated glycoproteins in the compartment where they are degraded. These results argue for the presence of an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) domain specialized in protein degradation. Consistent with our results and the well-known stabilization of recombinant proteins retained in the ER, the addition of an ER retention signal to a protein would prevent its targeting to an ER domain devoted to degradation.

Abstract
Proteins comprising the first nucleotide-binding- and R-domains of wild-type and Delta F508 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) have been synthesised by in vitro transcription/translation. The kinetics and extent of degradation of wild-type and Delta F508 cytoplasmic domain proteins in rabbit reticulocyte lysates, in which proteasome activity was inhibited, were similar, with a half-life of approximately 4h. The results show for the first time, that the benzo(c)quinolizinium compounds, MPB-07 and MPB-91, selectively inhibit degradation of the Delta F508 cytoplasmic domain protein. Studies using protease inhibitors demonstrated that both Delta F508 and wild-type proteins are substrates for cysteine proteases. The studies provide evidence that benzo(c)quinolizinium compounds protect a proteolytic cleavage site by direct binding to the first cytoplasmic domain of Delta F508-CFTR and this is a likely mechanism for increasing Delta F508-CFTR trafficking in intact cells.

We have developed a simultaneous quantification method for prostaglandin (PG) E(2), PGD(2), PGF(2 alpha), 8-epi-PGF(2 alpha), 6-keto-PGF(1 alpha) and thromboxane (TX) B(2). Using [3,3,4,4-(2)H(4)]PGE(2), [3,3,4,4-(2)H(4)]PGD(2), [3,3,4,4-(2)H(4)]8-epi-PGF(2 alpha), [3,3,4,4-(2)H(4)]PGF(2 alpha), [3,3,4,4-(2)H(4)]6-keto-PGF(1 alpha) and [18,18,19,19-(2)H(4)]TXB(2) as internal standards (I.S.), the eicosanoids and their I.S. were simultaneously extracted by solid-phase extraction from cell-cultured medium, derivatized to methyl ester/methoxim/tert.-butyldimethylsilyl ether derivatives and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring mode. The accuracy for the added eicosanoids ranged from 92 to 113%, and coefficients of variation ranged from 0.1 to 12.2%. Increased eicosanoids in RAW264.7 and U937 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide were suppressed by NS-398 and indometacin. This simultaneous quantification method can be applied routinely for assaying eicosanoids in vitro.

Abstract
In this study we demonstrate that a disarmed version of the cytotoxin ricin can deliver exogenous CD8(+) T cell epitopes into the MHC class I-restricted pathway by a TAP-independent, signal peptidase-dependent pathway. Defined viral peptide epitopes genetically fused to the N terminus of an attenuated ricin A subunit (RTA) that was reassociated with its partner B subunit were able to reach the early secretory pathway of sensitive cells, including TAP-deficient cells. Successful processing and presentation by MHC class I proteins was not dependent on proteasome activity or on recycling of MHC class I proteins, but rather on a functional secretory pathway. Our results demonstrated a role for signal peptidase in the generation of peptide epitopes associated at the amino terminus of RTA. We showed, first, that potential signal peptide cleavage sites located toward the N terminus of RTA can be posttranslationally cleaved by signal peptidase and, second, that mutation of one of these sites led to a loss of peptide presentation. These results identify a novel MHC class I presentation pathway that exploits the ability of toxins to reach the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum by retrograde transport, and suggest a role for endoplasmic reticulum signal peptidase in the processing and presentation of MHC class I peptides. Because TAP-negative cells can be sensitized for CTL killing following retrograde transport of toxin-linked peptides, application of these results has direct implications for the development of novel vaccination strategies.

Abstract
Tapasin is a subunit of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). It associates with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. We show that tapasin interacts with beta- and gamma-subunits of COPI coatomer. COPI retrieves membrane proteins from the Golgi network back to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The COPI subunit-associated tapasin also interacts with MHC class I molecules suggesting that tapasin acts as the cargo receptor for packing MHC class I molecules as cargo proteins into COPI-coated vesicles. In tapasin mutant cells, neither TAP nor MHC class I are detected in association with the COPI coatomer. Interestingly, tapasin-associated MHC class I molecules are antigenic peptide-receptive and detected in both the ER and the Golgi. Our data suggest that tapasin is required for the COPI vesicle-mediated retrograde transport of immature MHC class I molecules from the Golgi network to the ER.

Abstract
Glucose-regulated protein 58 (GRP58/ER-60/ERp57), best known as a chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, was previously identified by us as one of several accessory proteins in the S100 cytosol fraction of human hepatoma Hep3B cells that was differentially coshifted by anti-Stat3 antibody in an antibody-subtracted differential protein display assay. In the present study, the association between GRP58 and Stat3 in different cytoplasmic compartments was evaluated using cross-immunoprecipitation and cell-fractionation techniques. In the S100 cytosol fraction, three different anti-GRP58 polyclonal antibodies (pAb) cross-immunoprecipitated Stat3 (but not Stat1), and, conversely, anti-Stat3 pAb cross-immunoprecipitated GRP58. Both cytosolic Stat3 and GRP58 eluted during Superose-6 gel-filtration chromatography in complexes of size 200-400 kDa (statosome I), and anti-Stat3 pAb cross-immunoprecipitated GRp58 from these FPLC elution fractions. Using differential sedimentation and density equilibrium flotation methods, Stat3 and GRP58 were observed to be coassociated with cytoplasmic membranes enriched for the plasma membrane marker 5' nucleotidase but not with those containing the endoplasmic reticulum marker BiP/GRP78. The Stat3 and GRP58-containing plasma membrane fraction also contained Stat1, Stat5b, and gp130. Stat activation by orthovanadate caused the accumulation of PY-Stat3 in the GRP58-containing plasma membrane fraction. However, this PY-Stat3 was DNA-binding deficient. Likewise, excess exogenous recombinant human GRP58 prepared using a baculovirus expression system preferentially inhibited Stat3 DNA-binding activity in the S100 cytosol, suggesting that GRP58 may sequester activated Stat3. The new data confirm the association between GRP58 and Stat3 in cytosolic 200-400-kDa statosome I complexes and show that both GRP58 and Stat family members coassociate in the plasma membrane compartment. We suggest that the chaperone GRP58 may regulate signaling by sequestering inactive and activated Stat3.

Abstract
The maturation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) into a catalytically active enzyme was believed to occur only after its transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. To test this hypothesis, LPL located in these two subcellular compartments was separated and compared. Heparin affinity chromatography resolved low affinity, inactive LPL displaying ER characteristics from a high affinity, active fraction exhibiting both ER and Golgi forms. The latter forms were further separated by beta-ricin chromatography and were found to have comparable activities per unit of LPL mass. Thus, LPL must reach a functional conformation in the ER. Active LPL, regardless of its cellular location, exhibited the expected dimer conformation. However, inactive LPL, found only in the ER, was highly aggregated. Kinetic analysis indicated a concurrent formation of LPL dimer and aggregate and indicated that the two forms have dissimilar fates. Whereas the dimer remained stable even when confined to the ER, the aggregate was degraded. Degradation rates were not affected by proteasomal or lysosomal inhibitors but were markedly reduced by ATP depletion. Lowering the redox potential in the ER by dithiothreitol caused the dimer to associate with calnexin, BiP, and protein-disulfide isomerase to form large, inactive complexes; dithiothreitol removal induced complex dissociation with restoration of the functional LPL dimer. In contrast, the LPL aggregate was only poorly associated with ER chaperones, appearing to be trapped in an irreversible, inactive conformation destined for ER degradation.
