Cpxm2 as a novel candidate for cardiac hypertrophy and failure in hypertension. Hypertens Res 2022; 45:292-307.

Abstract
Treatment of hypertension-mediated cardiac damage with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) and heart failure remains challenging. To identify novel targets, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis between genetic models derived from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). Here, we identified carboxypeptidase X 2 (Cpxm2) as a genetic locus affecting LV mass. Analysis of isolated rat cardiomyocytes and cardiofibroblasts indicated Cpxm2 expression and intrinsic upregulation in genetic hypertension. Immunostaining indicated that CPXM2 associates with the t-tubule network of cardiomyocytes. The functional role of Cpxm2 was further investigated in Cpxm2-deficient (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice exposed to deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA). WT and KO animals developed severe and similar systolic hypertension in response to DOCA. WT mice developed severe LV damage, including increases in LV masses and diameters, impairment of LV systolic and diastolic function and reduced ejection fraction. These changes were significantly ameliorated or even normalized (i.e., ejection fraction) in KO-DOCA animals. LV transcriptome analysis showed a molecular cardiac hypertrophy/remodeling signature in WT but not KO mice with significant upregulation of 1234 transcripts, including Cpxm2, in response to DOCA. Analysis of endomyocardial biopsies from patients with cardiac hypertrophy indicated significant upregulation of CPXM2 expression. These data support further translational investigation of CPXM2.

Abstract
Protein lipidation, including cysteine prenylation, N-terminal glycine myristoylation, cysteine palmitoylation, and serine and lysine fatty acylation, occurs in many proteins in eukaryotic cells and regulates numerous biological pathways, such as membrane trafficking, protein secretion, signal transduction, and apoptosis. We provide a comprehensive review of protein lipidation, including descriptions of proteins known to be modified and the functions of the modifications, the enzymes that control them, and the tools and technologies developed to study them. We also highlight key questions about protein lipidation that remain to be answered, the challenges associated with answering such questions, and possible solutions to overcome these challenges.

Abstract
As an extremely important and ubiquitous post-translational lipid modification, palmitoylation plays a significant role in a variety of biological and physiological processes. Unlike other lipid modifications, protein palmitoylation and depalmitoylation are highly dynamic and can regulate both protein function and localization. The dynamic nature of palmitoylation is poorly understood because of the limitations in current assay methods. The in vivo or in vitro experimental identification of palmitoylation sites is both time consuming and expensive. Due to the large volume of protein sequences generated in the post-genomic era, it is extraordinarily important in both basic research and drug discovery to rapidly identify the attributes of a new protein's palmitoylation sites. In this work, a new computational method, WAP-Palm, combining multiple feature extraction, has been developed to predict the palmitoylation sites of proteins. The performance of the WAP-Palm model is measured herein and was found to have a sensitivity of 81.53%, a specificity of 90.45%, an accuracy of 85.99% and a Matthews correlation coefficient of 72.26% in 10-fold cross-validation test. The results obtained from both the cross-validation and independent tests suggest that the WAP-Palm model might facilitate the identification and annotation of protein palmitoylation locations.

Abstract
The first metallocarboxypeptidase (CP) was identified in pancreatic extracts more than 80 years ago and named carboxypeptidase A (CPA; now known as CPA1). Since that time, seven additional mammalian members of the CPA subfamily have been described, all of which are initially produced as proenzymes, are activated by endoproteases, and remove either C-terminal hydrophobic or basic amino acids from peptides. Here we describe the enzymatic and structural properties of carboxypeptidase O (CPO), a previously uncharacterized and unique member of the CPA subfamily. Whereas all other members of the CPA subfamily contain an N-terminal prodomain necessary for folding, bioinformatics and expression of both human and zebrafish CPO orthologs revealed that CPO does not require a prodomain. CPO was purified by affinity chromatography, and the purified enzyme was able to cleave proteins and synthetic peptides with greatest activity toward acidic C-terminal amino acids unlike other CPA-like enzymes. CPO displayed a neutral pH optimum and was inhibited by common metallocarboxypeptidase inhibitors as well as citrate. CPO was modified by attachment of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane anchor to the C terminus of the protein. Immunocytochemistry of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells stably expressing CPO showed localization to vesicular membranes in subconfluent cells and to the plasma membrane in differentiated cells. CPO is highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells in both zebrafish and human. These results suggest that CPO cleaves acidic amino acids from dietary proteins and peptides, thus complementing the actions of well known digestive carboxypeptidases CPA and CPB.

Abstract
Drosophila melanogaster silver gene is the ortholog of the coding gene of mammalian carboxypeptidase D (CPD). The silver gene gives rise to eight different splicing variants of differing length that can contain up to three homologous repeats. Among the protein variants encoded, the short form 1B alias DmCPD1Bs (D. melanogaster CPD variant 1B short) is necessary and sufficient for viability of the fruit fly. It has one single repeat, it is active against standard peptide substrates, and it is localized to the secretory pathway. In this work, the enzyme was found as a monomer in solution and as a homodimer in the crystal structure, which features a protomer with an N-terminal 311-residue catalytic domain of α/β-hydrolase fold and a C-terminal 84-residue all-β transthyretin-like domain. Overall, DmCPD1Bs conforms to the structure of N/E-type funnelins/M14B metallopeptidases, but it has two unique structural elements potentially involved in regulation of its activity: (i) two contiguous surface cysteines that may become palmitoylated and target the enzyme to membranes, thus providing control through localization, and (ii) a surface hot spot targetable by peptidases that would provide a regulatory mechanism through proteolytic inactivation. Given that the fruit fly possesses orthologs of only two out of the five proteolytically competent N/E-type funnelins found in higher vertebrates, DmCPD1Bs may represent a functional analog of at least one of the missing mammalian CPs.

Abstract
Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), a powerful modulator of the pericellular environment, promotes migration, invasion, and proliferation of cells. To perform its potent proteolytic activity in a controlled manner, MT1-MMP has to be regulated precisely. However, our knowledge about substrates and regulatory proteins is still very limited. In this study we identify a catalog of proteins that directly or indirectly interact with MT1-MMP. We expressed a FLAG-tagged MT1-MMP stably in human malignant melanoma A375 cells. We prepared cell lysate using Brij98 and MT1-MMP was affinity purified together with associating proteins using an anti-FLAG antibody. A distinct set of membrane proteins was found to copurify with MT1-MMP when biotin-labeled proteins were monitored. The proteins were analyzed with an integrated system composed of nano-flow liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. We identified 158 proteins including several previously reported to bind MT1-MMP, although most had not previously been identified. Six of these membrane proteins, including one previously shown to interact with MT1-MMP, were co-expressed with MT1-MMP in HT1080 cells. Five of the latter were found to associate with MT1-MMP in an immunoprecipitation assay. Immunostaining of cells expressing each of these test proteins revealed that one colocalized with MT1-MMP at the ruffling membrane and the other at the perinuclear vesicles. In contrast, another protein which did not coprecipitate with MT1-MMP showed no colocalization. Recombinant MT1-MMP cleaved two of the tested proteins at least in vitro. Thus, we provide a valuable resource to identify substrates and regulators of MT1-MMP in tumor cells.

Abstract
The greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) is a widely distributed small mammal that hibernates annually. A systematic study was initiated to identify differentially expressed genes in hibernating and aroused states of the greater horseshoe bat brain by using suppressed subtractive hybridization technique and dot blot. Forty-one over-expressed ESTs in the hibernating state were found and 17 were known genes reported in NCBI. Among these 17 genes, three were further checked by real time PCR. The bioinformatics analysis suggests that the major over-expressed ESTs may be responsible for the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis, the growth of neurons, signal transduction and neuroprotection, gene expression regulation, and intracellular trafficking.

Abstract
Background Protein palmitoylation, an essential and reversible post-translational modification (PTM), has been implicated in cellular dynamics and plasticity. Although numerous experimental studies have been performed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying palmitoylation processes, the intrinsic feature of substrate specificity has remained elusive. Thus, computational approaches for palmitoylation prediction are much desirable for further experimental design. Results In this work, we present NBA-Palm, a novel computational method based on Naïve Bayes algorithm for prediction of palmitoylation site. The training data is curated from scientific literature (PubMed) and includes 245 palmitoylated sites from 105 distinct proteins after redundancy elimination. The proper window length for a potential palmitoylated peptide is optimized as six. To evaluate the prediction performance of NBA-Palm, 3-fold cross-validation, 8-fold cross-validation and Jack-Knife validation have been carried out. Prediction accuracies reach 85.79% for 3-fold cross-validation, 86.72% for 8-fold cross-validation and 86.74% for Jack-Knife validation. Two more algorithms, RBF network and support vector machine (SVM), also have been employed and compared with NBA-Palm. Conclusion Taken together, our analyses demonstrate that NBA-Palm is a useful computational program that provides insights for further experimentation. The accuracy of NBA-Palm is comparable with our previously described tool CSS-Palm. The NBA-Palm is freely accessible from: .

Abstract
MUC1 is a mucin-like transmembrane protein expressed on the apical surface of epithelia, where it protects the cell surface. The cytoplasmic domain has numerous sites for phosphorylation and docking of proteins involved in signal transduction. In a previous study, we showed that the cytoplasmic YXXphi motif Y20HPM and the tyrosine-phosphorylated Y60TNP motif are required for MUC1 clathrin-mediated endocytosis through binding AP-2 and Grb2, respectively (Kinlough, C. L., Poland, P. A., Bruns, J. B., Harkleroad, K. L., and Hughey, R. P. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 53071-53077). Palmitoylation of transmembrane proteins can affect their membrane trafficking, and the MUC1 sequence CQC3RRK at the boundary of the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains mimics reported site(s) of S-palmitoylation. [3H]Palmitate labeling of Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing MUC1 with mutations in CQC3RRK revealed that MUC1 is dually palmitoylated at the CQC motif independent of RRK. Lack of palmitoylation did not affect the cold detergent solubility profile of a chimera (Tac ectodomain and MUC1 transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains), the rate of chimera delivery to the cell surface, or its half-life. Calculation of rate constants for membrane trafficking of wild-type and mutant Tac-MUC1 indicated that the lack of palmitoylation blocked recycling, but not endocytosis, and caused the chimera to accumulate in a EGFP-Rab11-positive endosomal compartment. Mutations CQC/AQA and Y20N inhibited Tac-MUC1 co-immunoprecipitation with AP-1, although mutant Y20N had reduced rates of both endocytosis and recycling, but a normal subcellular distribution. The double mutant chimera AQA+Y20N had reduced endocytosis and recycling rates and accumulated in EGFP-Rab11-positive endosomes, indicating that palmitoylation is the dominant feature modulating MUC1 recycling from endosomes back to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates the translocation of the glucose transporter GLUT4 from intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane. In the present study we have conducted a comprehensive proteomic analysis of affinity-purified GLUT4 vesicles from 3T3-L1 adipocytes to discover potential regulators of GLUT4 trafficking. In addition to previously identified components of GLUT4 storage vesicles including the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase insulin-regulated aminopeptidase and the vesicle soluble N-ethylmaleimide factor attachment protein (v-SNARE) VAMP2, we have identified three new Rab proteins, Rab10, Rab11, and Rab14, on GLUT4 vesicles. We have also found that the putative Rab GTPase-activating protein AS160 (Akt substrate of 160 kDa) is associated with GLUT4 vesicles in the basal state and dissociates in response to insulin. This association is likely to be mediated by the cytosolic tail of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase, which interacted both in vitro and in vivo with AS160. Consistent with an inhibitory role of AS160 in the basal state, reduced expression of AS160 in adipocytes using short hairpin RNA increased plasma membrane levels of GLUT4 in an insulin-independent manner. These findings support an important role for AS160 in the insulin regulated trafficking of GLUT4.

Abstract
Palmitoylation of integral membrane proteins can affect intracellular trafficking, protein-protein interactions and protein stability. The goal of the present study was to determine whether claudins, transmembrane-barrier-forming proteins of the tight junction, are palmitoylated and whether this modification has functional implications for the tight-junction barrier. Claudin-14, like other members of the claudin family, contains membrane-proximal cysteines following both the second and the fourth transmembrane domains, which we speculated could be modified by S-acylation with palmitic acid. We observed that [(3)H]-palmitic acid was incorporated into claudin-14 expressed by transfection in both cultured epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Mutation of cysteines to serines following either the second or the fourth transmembrane segments decreased the incorporation of [(3)H]-palmitic acid, and mutation of all four cysteines eliminated palmitoylation. We previously reported that expression of claudin-14 in epithelial monolayers results in a fivefold increase in electrical resistance. By contrast, expression of the mutant claudin-14 resulted in smaller increases in resistance. The mutants localized less well to tight junctions and were also found in lysosomes, suggesting an alteration in trafficking or stability. However, we observed no change in protein half-life and only a small shift in fractionation out of caveolin-enriched detergent-resistant membranes. Although less well localized to the tight junction, palmitoylation-deficient claudin-14 was still concentrated at sites of cell-cell contact and was competent to assemble into freeze-fracture strands when expressed in fibroblasts. These results demonstrate that palmitoylation of claudin-14 is required for efficient localization into tight junctions but not stability or strand assembly. Decreased ability of the mutants to alter resistance is probably the result of their less efficient localization into the barrier.

Abstract
Caveolin-1, a structural protein of caveolae, is cleared unusually slowly from the Golgi apparatus during biosynthetic transport. Furthermore, several caveolin-1 mutant proteins accumulate in the Golgi apparatus. We examined this behavior further in this mutant study. Golgi accumulation probably resulted from loss of Golgi exit information, not exposure of cryptic retention signals, because several deletion mutants accumulated in the Golgi apparatus. Alterations throughout the protein caused Golgi accumulation. Thus, most probably acted indirectly, by affecting overall conformation, rather than by disrupting specific Golgi exit motifs. Consistent with this idea, almost all the Golgi-localized mutant proteins failed to oligomerize normally (even with an intact oligomerization domain), and they showed reduced raft affinity in an in vitro detergent-insolubility assay. A few mutant proteins formed unstable oligomers that migrated unusually slowly on blue native gels. Only one mutant protein, which lacked the first half of the N-terminal hydrophilic domain, accumulated in the Golgi apparatus despite normal oligomerization and raft association. These results suggested that transport of caveolin-1 through the Golgi apparatus is unusually difficult. The conformation of caveolin-1 may be optimized to overcome this difficulty, but remain very sensitive to mutation. Disrupting conformation can coordinately affect oligomerization, raft affinity, and Golgi exit of caveolin-1.

Abstract
In pancreatic beta-cells, the syntaxin 6 (Syn6) soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor is distributed in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) (with spillover into immature secretory granules) and endosomes. A possible Syn6 requirement has been suggested in secretory granule biogenesis, but the role of Syn6 in live regulated secretory cells remains unexplored. We have created an ecdysone-inducible gene expression system in the INS-1 beta-cell line and find that induced expression of a membrane-anchorless, cytosolic Syn6 (called Syn6t), but not full-length Syn6, causes a prominent defect in endosomal delivery to lysosomes, and the TGN, in these cells. The defect occurs downstream of the endosomal branchpoint involved in transferrin recycling, and upstream of the steady-state distribution of mannose 6-phosphate receptors. By contrast, neither acquisition of stimulus competence nor the ultimate size of beta-granules is affected. Biosynthetic effects of dominant-interfering Syn6 seem limited to slowed intragranular processing to insulin (achieving normal levels within 2 h) and minor perturbation of sorting of newly synthesized lysosomal proenzymes. We conclude that expression of the Syn6t mutant slows a rate-limiting step in endosomal maturation but provides only modest and potentially indirect interference with regulated and constitutive secretory pathways, and in TGN sorting of lysosomal enzymes.

Abstract
The tissue factor (TF)-initiated coagulation pathway plays important roles in hemostasis, inflammation, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Phosphorylation of the TF cytoplasmic domain is functionally relevant in metastasis. How TF cytoplasmic domain phosphorylation downstream of protein kinase C (PKC) activation is regulated in primary vascular cells remains poorly understood. Here, phosphorylation of Ser258, rather than the PKC consensus site Ser253, is identified as the major conformational switch required for recognition by a phosphorylation-specific antibody. With this novel reagent, we demonstrate that the TF cytoplasmic domain is primarily unphosphorylated in confluent endothelial cells. TF cytoplasmic domain phosphorylation can occur in the absence of the autologous TF transmembrane and extracellular domains but requires maturation of TF in the Golgi compartment and cell surface expression. Site-directed mutagenesis and 2-bromopalmitate treatment provide evidence that palmitoylation of the cytoplasmic Cys245 is a negative regulatory mechanism of Ser258 phosphorylation. Profiling with PKC-selective inhibitors identifies PKCalpha as important for TF cytoplasmic domain phosphorylation. Mutagenesis of protein kinase consensus sites are consistent with a model in which PKC-dependent phosphorylation of Ser253 enhances subsequent Ser258 phosphorylation by a Pro-directed kinase. Thus, cell surface location-dependent phosphorylation of the TF cytoplasmic domain is regulated at multiple levels.

Abstract
In the present study, we verified that the mouse 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) (5-HT(1A)) receptor is modified by palmitic acid, which is covalently attached to the protein through a thioester-type bond. Palmitoylation efficiency was not modulated by receptor stimulation with agonists. Block of protein synthesis by cycloheximide resulted in a significant reduction of receptor acylation, suggesting that palmitoylation occurs early after synthesis of the 5-HT(1A) receptor. Furthermore, pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that fatty acids are stably attached to the receptor. Two conserved cysteine residues 417 and 420 located in the proximal C-terminal domain were identified as acylation sites by site-directed mutagenesis. To address the functional role of 5-HT(1A) receptor acylation, we have analyzed the ability of acylation-deficient mutants to interact with heterotrimeric G(i) protein and to modulate downstream effectors. Replacement of individual cysteine residues (417 or 420) resulted in a significantly reduced coupling of receptor with G(i) protein and impaired inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity. When both palmitoylated cysteines were replaced, the communication of receptors with G alpha(i) subunits was completely abolished. Moreover, non-palmitoylated mutants were no longer able to inhibit forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation, indicating that palmitoylation of the 5-HT(1A) receptor is critical for the enabling of G(i) protein coupling/effector signaling. The receptor-dependent activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase was also affected by acylation-deficient mutants, suggesting the importance of receptor palmitoylation for the signaling through the G beta gamma-mediated pathway, in addition to the G alpha(i)-mediated signaling.
