Abstract
Nano-domains are sub-light-diffraction-sized heterogeneous areas in the plasma membrane of cells, which are involved in cell signalling and membrane trafficking. Throughout the last thirty years, these nano-domains have been researched extensively and have been the subject of multiple theories and models: the lipid raft theory, the fence model, and the protein oligomerization theory. Strong evidence exists for all of these, and consequently they were combined into a hierarchal model. Measurements of protein and lipid diffusion coefficients and patterns have been instrumental in plasma membrane research and by extension in nano-domain research. This has led to the development of multiple methodologies that can measure diffusion and confinement parameters including single particle tracking, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, image correlation spectroscopy and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Here we review the performance and strengths of these methods in the context of their use in identification and characterization of plasma membrane nano-domains.

[PMID: 32939382 PMCID: PMC7479489 DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2020.106230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
For a long time, traditional purification and extraction methods for the native Torpedo californica nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in lipid-like detergent complex (nAChR-DC) have compromised its purity, functionality and X-ray structural studies possibility. The dataset presented in this article provide a characterization of the Torpedo californica nAChR-DC purified using a sequential purification processes developed in our laboratory [1]. This purification takes in consideration all of the physicochemical and functional requirements stablished by several researchers for the past three decades for the nAChR. These requirements were addressed in order to preserve the stability and functionality of nAChR-DC while ensuring the highest degree of protein purity. We focused on the effect of cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS) supplementation on nAChR conformational changes during the purification process. Data from the size exclusion chromatography of the nAChR-DC supplemented with CHS in concentrations ranging from 0.01 mM, 0.1 mM, 0.2 mM and 0.5 mM consistently demonstrated that 0.5 mM CHS affects receptor stability via disassemble of the pentameric oligomer. However, 0.2 mM CHS produced negligible nAChR-DC subunit disruption. The purified nAChR-DC has been characterized by circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), in order to assess its stability. The CD data was recorded in the wavelength range of 190-250 nm, showed that CHS induce a ⍺-helix to β-sheet transition of the nAChR-DC. The nAChR-LFC-16 delipidation with Methyl-β-Cyclodextrin decreased the percentage of α-helix and increased the β-sheet antiparallel secondary structure and levels the percentage of turns to that of the nAChR-DC without CHS treatment. Additionally, the stability of the nAChR-DC supplemented with CHS and incorporated into lipid cubic phase (LCP) was monitored for a period of 30 days by means of FRAP. The LCP-FRAP data allowed to establish possible optimal crystallization conditions for the development of crystals from purified nAChR-conjugated to α-Bungarotoxin, Alexa Fluor ™ 488 (α-BTX) in order to obtain a high-resolution atomic structure by X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
ESCRT proteins play essential functions by remodeling cellular membranes. Buono et al. report on a novel ESCRT-dependent mechanism in plant endosomes that leads to sequential concatenation of vesicle buds by temporally uncoupling membrane constriction from membrane fission. During this process, ESCRT-III proteins remain inside endosomes after intralumenal vesicle release. Ubiquitinated plasma membrane proteins (cargo) are delivered to endosomes and sorted by endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery into endosome intralumenal vesicles (ILVs) for degradation. In contrast to the current model that postulates that ILVs form individually from inward budding of the endosomal limiting membrane, plant ILVs form as networks of concatenated vesicle buds by a novel vesiculation mechanism. We ran computational simulations based on experimentally derived diffusion coefficients of an ESCRT cargo protein and electron tomograms of Arabidopsis thaliana endosomes to measure cargo escape from budding ILVs. We found that 50% of the ESCRT cargo would escape from a single budding profile in 5–20 ms and from three concatenated ILVs in 80–200 ms. These short cargo escape times predict the need for strong diffusion barriers in ILVs. Consistent with a potential role as a diffusion barrier, we find that the ESCRT-III protein SNF7 remains associated with ILVs and is delivered to the vacuole for degradation.

Cell Mol Neurobiol 2017; 37:1443-1455. [PMID: 28236056 DOI: 10.1007/s10571-017-0475-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2016] [Accepted: 02/16/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
We have studied how various drugs increasing the rate of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) lateral diffusion affect the depression of ACh-induced current in land snail Helix lucorum neurons responsible for defensive behavior. The acetylcholine (ACh) iontophoretic application protocol imitated the behavioral habituation protocol for the intact animal. We found that the drugs decreasing cholesterol level in cell membranes as methyl-β-cyclodextrin 1 mM and Ro 48-8071 2 µM, and polyclonal antibodies to actin-binding proteins as spectrin 5 µg/ml and merlin 2.5 µg/ml have changed the dynamic of ACh-current depression. The nAChRs lateral diffusion coefficient was obtained by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. A curve fitting model specially created for analysis of short-term choline sensitivity depression in snail neurons helped us evaluate separately the contribution of nAChRs lateral diffusion, their endocytosis and exocytosis to observed effects during electrophysiological experiments. Taken together, we hypothesize that nAChRs lateral diffusion plays an important role in the cellular correlate of habituation in land snail Helix lucorum neurons.
