Abstract
Cell surface receptor internalization can either terminate signaling or activate alternative endosomal signaling pathways. We investigated here whether endosomal signaling is involved in the function of the human receptors for Fc immunoglobulin fragments (FcRs): FcαRI, FcγRIIA, and FcγRI. All these receptors were internalized after their cross-linking with receptor-specific antibodies, but their intracellular trafficking was different. FcαRI was targeted directly to lysosomes, while FcγRIIA and FcγRI were internalized in particular endosomal compartments described by the insulin esponsive minoeptidase (IRAP), where they recruited signaling molecules, such as the active form of the kinase Syk, PLCγ and the adaptor LAT. Destabilization of FcγR endosomal signaling in the absence of IRAP compromised cytokine secretion downstream FcγR activation and macrophage ability to kill tumor cells by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Our results indicate that FcγR endosomal signaling is required for the FcγR-driven inflammatory reaction and possibly for the therapeutic action of monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
Phagocytes, particularly dendritic cells (DCs), generate peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I complexes from antigens they have collected from cells in tissues and report this information to CD8 T cells in a process called cross-presentation. This process allows CD8 T cells to detect, respond and eliminate abnormal cells, such as cancers or cells infected with viruses or intracellular microbes. In some settings, cross-presentation can help tolerize CD8 T cells to self-antigens. One of the principal ways that DCs acquire tissue antigens is by ingesting this material through phagocytosis. The resulting phagosomes are key hubs in the cross-presentation (XPT) process and in fact experimentally conferring the ability to phagocytize antigens can be sufficient to allow non-professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) to cross-present. Once in phagosomes, exogenous antigens can be cross-presented (XPTed) through three distinct pathways. There is a vacuolar pathway in which peptides are generated and then bind to MHC I molecules within the confines of the vacuole. Ingested exogenous antigens can also be exported from phagosomes to the cytosol upon vesicular rupture and/or possibly transport. Once in the cytosol, the antigen is degraded by the proteasome and the resulting oligopeptides can be transported to MHC I molecule in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (a phagosome-to-cytosol (P2C) pathway) or in phagosomes (a phagosome-to-cytosol-to-phagosome (P2C2P) pathway). Here we review how phagosomes acquire the necessary molecular components that support these three mechanisms and the contribution of these pathways. We describe what is known as well as the gaps in our understanding of these processes.

Deciphering the role of cDC2s in Sjögren's syndrome: transcriptomic profile links altered antigen processes with IFN signature and autoimmunity. Ann Rheum Dis 2023; 82:374-383. [PMID: 36171070 PMCID: PMC9933176 DOI: 10.1136/ard-2022-222728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 conventional dendritic cells (cDC2s) are key orchestrators of inflammatory responses, linking innate and adaptative immunity. Here we explored the regulation of immunological pathways in cDC2s from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). METHODS RNA sequencing of circulating cDC2s from patients with pSS, patients with non-Sjögren's sicca and healthy controls (HCs) was exploited to establish transcriptional signatures. Phenotypical and functional validation was performed in independent cohorts. RESULTS Transcriptome of cDC2s from patients with pSS revealed alterations in type I interferon (IFN), toll-like receptor (TLR), antigen processing and presentation pathways. Phenotypical validation showed increased CX3CR1 expression and decreased integrin beta-2 and plexin-B2 on pSS cDC2s. Functional validation confirmed impaired capacity of pSS cDC2s to degrade antigens and increased antigen uptake, including self-antigens derived from salivary gland epithelial cells. These changes in antigen uptake and degradation were linked to anti-SSA/Ro (SSA) autoantibodies and the presence of type I IFNs. In line with this, in vitro IFN-α priming enhanced the uptake of antigens by HC cDC2s, reflecting the pSS cDC2 profile. Finally, pSS cDC2s compared with HC cDC2s increased the proliferation and the expression of CXCR3 and CXCR5 on proliferating CD4+ T cells. CONCLUSIONS pSS cDC2s are transcriptionally altered, and the aberrant antigen uptake and processing, including (auto-)antigens, together with increased proliferation of tissue-homing CD4+ T cells, suggest altered antigen presentation by pSS cDC2s. These functional alterations were strongly linked to anti-SSA positivity and the presence of type I IFNs. Thus, we demonstrate novel molecular and functional pieces of evidence for the role of cDC2s in orchestrating immune response in pSS, which may yield novel avenues for treatment.

Akt-mediated mitochondrial metabolism regulates proplatelet formation and platelet shedding post vasopressin exposure. JOURNAL OF THROMBOSIS AND HAEMOSTASIS : JTH 2023; 21:344-358.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet shedding from mature megakaryocytes (MKs) in thrombopoiesis is the critical step for elevating circulating platelets fast and efficiently, however, the underlying mechanism is still not well-illustrated, and the therapeutic targets and candidates are even less. OBJECTIVES In order to investigate the mechanisms for platelet shedding after vasopressin treatment and find new therapeutic targets for thrombocytopenia. METHODS Platelet production was evaluated both in vivo and in vitro after arginine vasopressin (AVP) administration. The underlying biological mechanism of AVP-triggered thrombopoiesis were then investigated by a series of molecular and bioinformatics techniques. RESULTS it is observed that proplatelet formation and platelet shedding in the final stages of thrombopoiesis promoted by AVP, an endogenous hormone, can quickly increases peripheral platelets. This rapid elevation is thus able to speed up platelet recovery after radiation as expected. The mechanism analysis reveal that proplatelet formation and platelet release from mature MKs facilitated by AVP is mainly mediated by Akt-regulated mitochondrial metabolism. In particular, phosphorylated Akt regulates mitochondrial metabolism through driving the association of hexokinase-2 with mitochondrial voltage dependent anion channel-1 in AVP-mediated thrombopoiesis. Further studies suggest that this interaction is stabilized by IκBα, the expression of which is controlled by insulin-regulated membrane aminopeptidase. CONCLUSION these data demonstrate that phosphorylated Akt-mediated mitochondrial metabolism regulates platelet shedding from MKs in response to AVP, which will provide new therapeutic targets and further drug discovery clues for thrombocytopenia treatment.

Alterations in HLA Class I-Presented Immunopeptidome and Class I-Interactome upon Osimertinib Resistance in EGFR Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13194977. [PMID: 34638461 PMCID: PMC8507780 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13194977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary We sought to identify molecular mechanisms of lower efficacy of immunotherapy in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant lung adenocarcinoma and the differences in those mechanisms with the emergence of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistance. To this end, we conducted affinity purification and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic profiling of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I-presented immunopeptides and Class I-interacting proteins. This large-scale dataset revealed that the Class I-presented immunopeptidome was suppressed in two third-generation EGFR TKI, osimertinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cell lines compared to their isogenic TKI-sensitive counterparts. The whole-cell proteomic profiling show that antigen presentation complex proteins and immunoproteasome were downregulated upon EGFR TKI resistance. Furthermore, HLA class I-interactome profiling demonstrated altered interaction with key apoptosis and autophagy pathway proteins. In summary, our comprehensive multi-proteomic characterization in antigen presentation machinery provides potentially novel evidence of poor immune response in osimertinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma. Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has been a paradigm shift in the treatment of cancer. ICI therapy results in durable responses and survival benefit for a large number of tumor types. Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has shown great efficacy treating EGFR mutant lung cancers; however, all patients eventually develop resistance. ICI therapy has not benefitted EGFR mutant lung cancer. Herein, we employed stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to investigate potential immune escape molecular mechanisms in osimertinib resistant EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma by interrogating the alterations in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I-presented immunopeptidome, Class I-interactome, and the whole cell proteome between isogenic osimertinib-sensitive and -resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cells. Our study demonstrates an overall reduction in HLA class I-presented immunopeptidome and downregulation of antigen presentation core complex (e.g., TAP1 and ERAP1/2) and immunoproteasome in osimertinib resistant lung adenocarcinoma cells. Several key components in autophagy pathway are differentially altered. S100 proteins and SLC3A2 may play critical roles in reduced antigen presentation. Our dataset also includes ~1000 novel HLA class I interaction partners and hundreds of Class I-presented immunopeptides in EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma. This large-scale unbiased proteomics study provides novel insights and potential mechanisms of immune evasion of EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Aim Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a complex etiology, and psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is the most common type of psoriasis. Recent studies suggest the relationship between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome in different ethnicities. This study is aimed at evaluating the association of metabolism-related gene variants with the risk of PsV in Chinese Han population. Material and Methods. PsV patients (1030) and healthy controls (965) were enrolled in this study. Eighteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously reported to be significantly associated with metabolic syndrome were selected. SNPs were detected by next-generation sequencing. Results Seven SNPs were significantly associated with PsV: rs805303 (P = 0.012, OR = 0.85), rs3177928 (P = 1.37 × 10−15, OR = 2.51), and rs2247056 (P = 3.73 × 10−4, OR = 0.67) located in the HLA gene region; rs1047781 (P = 0.012, OR = 1.18), rs281379 (P = 0.014, OR = 1.71), and rs492602 (P = 0.005, OR = 1.86) located in the FUT2 region; and rs2303138 (P = 0.014, OR = 1.18) located in the LNPEP region. After stratified analysis, rs805303 (P = 0.017, OR = 0.74) and rs2303138 (P = 0.041, OR = 1.30) were associated with PsVs when HLA-C∗06 : 02 was positive, and rs805303 (P = 5.62 × 10−5, OR = 0.68), rs3177928 (P = 0.003, OR = 1.75), rs281379 (P = 0.034, OR = 1.96), and rs492602 (P = 0.025, OR = 2.04) were associated with PsVs when HLA-C∗06 : 02 was negative. Conclusion PsV and metabolic syndrome may have overlapped susceptible genes in Chinese Han population.

Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase in Women with Breast Cancer: A Role beyond the Regulation of Oxytocin and Vasopressin. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12113252.

Abstract
Simple Summary Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a well-known enzyme involved mainly in the regulation of the peptide hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin. However, this enzyme activity has hardly been analyzed in breast cancer patients. Additionally, the influence of both the hormonal status (pre or postmenopause) and the administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy have rarely been studied. We show that there is a weak association between IRAP activity and the circulating levels of peptide hormones with variations depending on the hormonal status and the neoadjuvant treatment, and propose a role beyond oxytocin and vasopressin regulation that is related to the local mammary renin-angiotensin system and glucose transportation to the cells. Abstract Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is the only enzyme known to cleave oxytocin and vasopressin; however, it is also the high-affinity binding site for angiotensin IV (AngIV) receptor type 4 (AT4) ligands and it is related to insulin-dependent glucose transporters through the translocation of the glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4). Previous studies have demonstrated an association between IRAP activity and the number and size of mammary tumors in an animal model of breast cancer (BC). Also, a highly significant increase in IRAP activity has been found in BC tissue from women patients. Here, we found no changes in circulating IRAP in premenopausal (preMP) women, but it increased significantly in postmenopausal (postMP) women not treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACH). However, in women treated with NACH, IRAP activity increased in both preMP and postMP women. Two years of follow-up indicated lower levels of IRAP activity in untreated preMP women, but a return to control levels in untreated postMP women, while IRAP activity returned to control levels in women treated with NACH. Circulating oxytocin decreased in both preMP and postMP women during the follow-up period. Differences in Oxytocin appeared between preMP and postMP women treated with NACH, but not in women who were not treated with NACH. On the contrary, circulating vasopressin increased in untreated and treated preMP and postMP women, with most of the differences related to the hormonal status as well as the neoadjuvant treatment during the two year follow-up We propose that IRAP is involved in mechanisms related not only to oxytocin and/or vasopressin regulation, but also to the local mammary RAS through AngIV and its role in glucose transportation through the IRAP/GLUT4 system.

Abstract
Insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a type II transmembrane protein with broad tissue distribution initially identified as a major component of Glut4 storage vesicles (GSV) in adipocytes. Despite its almost ubiquitous expression, IRAP had been extensively studied mainly in insulin responsive cells, such as adipocytes and muscle cells. In these cells, the enzyme displays a complex intracellular trafficking pattern regulated by insulin. Early studies using fusion proteins joining the IRAP cytosolic domain to various reporter proteins, such as GFP or the transferrin receptor (TfR), showed that the complex and regulated trafficking of the protein depends on its cytosolic domain. This domain contains several motifs involved in IRAP trafficking, as demonstrated by mutagenesis studies. Also, proteomic studies and yeast two-hybrid experiments showed that the IRAP cytosolic domain engages in multiple protein interactions with cytoskeleton components and vesicular trafficking adaptors. These findings led to the hypothesis that IRAP is not only a cargo of GSV but might be a part of the sorting machinery that controls GSV dynamics. Recent work in adipocytes, immune cells, and neurons confirmed this hypothesis and demonstrated that IRAP has a dual function. Its carboxy-terminal domain located inside endosomes is responsible for the aminopeptidase activity of the enzyme, while its amino-terminal domain located in the cytosol functions as an endosomal trafficking adaptor. In this review, we recapitulate the published protein interactions of IRAP and summarize the increasing body of evidence indicating that IRAP plays a role in intracellular trafficking of several proteins. We describe the impact of IRAP deletion or depletion on endocytic trafficking and the consequences on immune cell functions. These include the ability of dendritic cells to cross-present antigens and prime adaptive immune responses, as well as the control of innate and adaptive immune receptor signaling and modulation of inflammatory responses.

Spondyloarthritis comprises a group of inflammatory diseases of the joints and spine, with various clinical manifestations. The group includes ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis are still unknown, but five hypotheses explaining the pathogenesis exist. These hypotheses suggest that spondyloarthritis is caused by arthritogenic peptides, an unfolded protein response, HLA-B*27 homodimer formation, malfunctioning endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidases, and, last but not least, gut inflammation and dysbiosis. Here we discuss the five hypotheses and the evidence supporting each. In all of these hypotheses, HLA-B*27 plays a central role. It is likely that a combination of these hypotheses, with HLA-B*27 taking center stage, will eventually explain the development of spondyloarthritis in predisposed individuals.

Abstract
The insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) has been proposed as an important therapeutic target for indications including Alzheimer’s disease and immune disorders. To date, a number of IRAP inhibitor designs have been investigated but the total number of molecules investigated remains quite small. As a member the M1 aminopeptidase family, IRAP shares numerous structural features with the other M1 aminopeptidases. The study of those enzymes and the development of inhibitors provide key learnings and new approaches and are potential sources of inspiration for future IRAP inhibitors.

Abstract
Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase (IRAP, EC 3.4.11.3) is a multi-tasking member of the M1 family of zinc aminopeptidases. Among its diverse biological functions, IRAP is a regulator of oxytocin levels during late stages of pregnancy, it affects cellular glucose uptake by trafficking of the glucose transporter type 4 and it mediates antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells. Accumulating evidence show that pharmacological inhibition of IRAP may hold promise as a valid approach for the treatment of several pathological states such as memory disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. Aiming to the investigation of physiological roles of IRAP and therapeutic potential of its regulation, intense research efforts have been dedicated to the discovery of small-molecule inhibitors. Moreover, reliable structure-activity relationships have been largely facilitated by recent crystal structures of IRAP and detailed computational studies. This review aims to summarize efforts of medicinal chemists toward the design and development of IRAP inhibitors, with special emphasis to factors affecting inhibitor selectivity.

Abstract
In the human genome, the aminopeptidases ERAP1, ERAP2 and LNPEP lie contiguously on chromosome 5. They share sequence homology, functions and associations with immune-mediated diseases. By analyzing their multifaceted activities as well as their expression in the zoological scale, we suggest here that the progenitor of the three aminopeptidases might be LNPEP from which the other two aminopeptidases could have derived by gene duplications. We also propose that their functions are partially redundant. More precisely, the evolutionary story of the three aminopeptidases might have been dictated by their role in regulating the renin–angiotensin system, which requires their controlled and coordinated expression. This hypothesis is supported by the many species that lack one or the other gene as well as by the lack of ERAP2 in rodents and a null expression in 25% of humans. Finally, we speculate that their role in antigen presentation has been acquired later on during evolution. They have therefore been diversified between those residing in the ER, ERAP1 and ERAP2, whose role is to refine the MHC-I peptidomes, and LNPEP, mostly present in the endosomal vesicles where it can contribute to antigen cross-presentation or move to the cell membrane as receptor for angiotensin IV. Their association with autoinflammatory/autoimmune diseases can therefore be two-fold: as “contributors” to the shaping of the immune-peptidomes as well as to the regulation of the vascular response.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates glucose transport by triggering regulated delivery of intracellular vesicles containing the GLUT4 glucose transporter to the plasma membrane. This process is defective in diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM). While studies in rodent cells have been invaluable in understanding GLUT4 traffic, evolutionary plasticity must be considered when extrapolating these findings to humans. Recent work has identified species-specific distinctions in GLUT4 traffic, notably the participation of a novel clathrin isoform, CHC22, in humans but not rodents. Here, we discuss GLUT4 sorting in different species and how studies of CHC22 have identified new routes for GLUT4 trafficking. We further consider how different sorting-protein complexes relate to these routes and discuss other implications of these pathways in cell biology and disease.

IRAP-dependent endosomal T cell receptor signalling is essential for T cell responses. Nat Commun 2020; 11:2779.

Abstract
T cell receptor (TCR) activation is modulated by mechanisms such as TCR endocytosis, which is thought to terminate TCR signalling. Here we show that, upon internalization, TCR continues to signal from a set of specialized endosomes that are crucial for T cell functions. Mechanistically, TCR ligation leads to clathrin-mediated internalization of the TCR-CD3ζ complex, while maintaining CD3ζ signalling, in endosomal vesicles that contain the insulin responsive aminopeptidase (IRAP) and the SNARE protein Syntaxin 6. Destabilization of this compartment through IRAP deletion enhances plasma membrane expression of the TCR-CD3ζ complex, yet compromises overall CD3ζ signalling; moreover, the integrity of this compartment is also crucial for T cell activation and survival after suboptimal TCR activation, as mice engineered with a T cell-specific deletion of IRAP fail to develop efficient polyclonal anti-tumour responses. Our results thus reveal a previously unappreciated function of IRAP-dependent endosomal TCR signalling in T cell activation. T cell receptors (TCR) are internalized when activated by their ligands. Here the authors show that the internalized TCRs are localized to endosomes expressing IRAP and Syntaxin 6 to maintain intracellular signalling capacity, whose importance is shown by the absence of efficient polyclonal anti-tumour response in mice with T-specific conditional deletion of IRAP.

Abstract
Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is a new potential macromolecular target for drugs aimed for treatment of cognitive disorders. Inhibition of IRAP by angiotensin IV (Ang IV) improves the memory and learning in rats. The majority of the known IRAP inhibitors are peptidic in character and suffer from poor pharmacokinetic properties. Herein, we present a series of small non-peptide IRAP inhibitors derived from a spiro-oxindole dihydroquinazolinone screening hit (pIC50 5.8). The compounds were synthesized either by a simple microwave (MW)-promoted three-component reaction, or by a two-step one-pot procedure. For decoration of the oxindole ring system, rapid MW-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings (1 min) were performed. A small improvement of potency (pIC50 6.6 for the most potent compound) and an increased solubility could be achieved. As deduced from computational modelling and MD simulations it is proposed that the S-configuration of the spiro-oxindole dihydroquinazolinones accounts for the inhibition of IRAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated the blood proteome of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We characterized the serum abundance of proteins encoded at 163 known IBD risk loci and tested these proteins for their biomarker discovery potential. METHODS Based on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) antibody availability, 218 proteins from genes mapping at 163 IBD risk loci were selected. Targeted serum protein profiles from 49 Crohn's disease (CD) patients, 51 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, and 50 sex- and age-matched healthy individuals were obtained using multiplexed antibody suspension bead array assays. Differences in relative serum abundance levels between disease groups and controls were examined. Replication was attempted for CD-UC comparisons (including disease subtypes) by including 64 additional patients (33 CD and 31 UC). Antibodies targeting a potentially novel risk protein were validated by paired antibodies, Western blot, immuno-capture mass spectrometry, and epitope mapping. RESULTS By univariate analysis, 13 proteins mostly related to neutrophil, T-cell, and B-cell activation and function were differentially expressed in IBD patients vs healthy controls, 3 in CD patients vs healthy controls and 2 in UC patients vs healthy controls (q < 0.01). Multivariate analyses further differentiated disease groups from healthy controls and CD subtypes from UC (P < 0.05). Extended characterization of an antibody targeting a novel, discriminative serum marker, the laccase (multicopper oxidoreductase) domain containing 1 (LACC1) protein, provided evidence for antibody on-target specificity. CONCLUSIONS Using affinity proteomics, we identified a set of IBD-associated serum proteins encoded at IBD risk loci. These candidate proteins hold the potential to be exploited as diagnostic biomarkers of IBD.

Abstract
Endoplasmic Reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) is an intracellular enzyme that can generate or destroy potential peptide ligands for MHC class I molecules. ERAP1 activity influences the cell-surface immunopeptidome and epitope immunodominance patterns but in complex and poorly understood manners. Two main distinct pathways have been proposed to account for ERAP1's effects on the nature and quantity of MHCI-bound peptides: i) ERAP1 trims peptides in solution, generating the correct length for binding to MHCI or overtrimming peptides so that they are too short to bind, and ii) ERAP1 trims peptides while they are partially bound onto MHCI in manner that leaves the peptide amino terminus accessible. For both pathways, once an appropriate length peptide is generated it could bind conventionally to MHCI, competing with further trimming by ERAP1. The two pathways, although not necessarily mutually exclusive, provide distinct vantage points for understanding of the rules behind the generation of the immunopeptidome. Resolution of the mechanistic details of ERAP1-mediated antigenic peptide generation can have important consequences for pharmacological efforts to regulate the immunopeptidome for therapeutic applications, and for understanding association of ERAP1 alleles with susceptibility to autoimmune disease and cancer. We review current evidence in support of these two pathways and discuss their relative importance and potential complementarity.

Abstract
The vasopressin- and oxytocin-degrading enzyme insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is expressed in various organs including the brain. However, knowledge about its presence in human hypothalamus is fragmentary. Functionally, for a number of reasons (genetic linkage, hydrolysis of oxytocin and vasopressin, its role as angiotensin IV receptor in learning and memory and others) IRAP might play a role in schizophrenia. We studied the regional and cellular localization of IRAP in normal human brain with special emphasis on the hypothalamus and determined numerical densities of IRAP-expressing cells in the paraventricular, supraoptic and suprachiasmatic nuclei in schizophrenia patients and controls. By using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis, IRAP was immunolocalized in postmortem human brains. Cell countings were performed to estimate numbers and numerical densities of IRAP immunoreactive hypothalamic neurons in schizophrenia patients and control cases. Shape, size and regional distribution of IRAP-expressing cells, as well the lack of co-localization with the glia marker glutamine synthetase, show that IRAP is expressed in neurons. IRAP immunoreactive cells were observed in the hippocampal formation, cerebral cortex, thalamus, amygdala and, abundantly, hypothalamus. Double labeling experiments (IRAP and oxytocin/neurophysin 1, IRAP with vasopressin/neurophysin 2) revealed that IRAP is present in oxytocinergic and in vasopressinergic neurons. In schizophrenia patients, the numerical density of IRAP-expressing neurons in the paraventricular and the suprachiasmatic nuclei is significantly reduced, which might be associated with the reduction in neurophysin-containing neurons in these nuclei in schizophrenia. The pathophysiological role of lowered hypothalamic IRAP expression in schizophrenia remains to be established.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP-2) expression on the HLA-B*27 peptidome in live cells. METHODS Using immunoaffinity chromatography and acid extraction, HLA-B*27:05-bound peptides were isolated from 2 ERAP-2-negative lymphoblastoid cell lines and 1 ERAP-2-positive lymphoblastoid cell line expressing functionally indistinguishable ERAP-1 variants. More than 2,000-4,000 B*27:05 ligands were identified from each cell line, and their relative abundance was established by quantitative tandem mass spectrometry and MaxQuant-based peptide analyses. Pairwise comparisons were used to determine the structural features of peptides whose relative abundance was dependent on the presence of ERAP-2. Synthetic peptide digestions were performed with recombinant ERAP-1 and ERAP-2. Peptide affinity was estimated with standard algorithms. RESULTS The B*27:05 peptidome from ERAP-2-positive cells showed 3-4% fewer peptides with N-terminal basic residues than did the peptidome from ERAP-2-negative cells. Among the shared peptides, those most abundant in the presence of ERAP-2 included more nonamers, fewer decamers, and fewer N-terminal basic residues than the peptides predominant in ERAP-2-negative cells. These ERAP-2-dependent changes did not alter the global affinity of the B*27:05 peptidome. CONCLUSION ERAP-2 significantly influences the B*27:05-bound peptidome by destroying some ligands and decreasing the abundance of many more ligands with N-terminal basic residues, while increasing the abundance of nonamers. The former effects are best explained by direct ERAP-2 trimming. The effects on peptide length might be attributed to ERAP-2-induced activation of ERAP-1 trimming. These data support the notion of a peptide-mediated mechanism as the basis for the association of ERAP-2 with ankylosing spondylitis. Analogous effects on other major histocompatibility complex class I peptidomes might explain the involvement of ERAP-2 in HLA-B27-negative spondyloarthritis.

Abstract
Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is an enzyme with several important biological functions that is known to process a large variety of different peptidic substrates, although the mechanism behind this wide specificity is not clearly understood. We describe a crystal structure of IRAP in complex with a recently developed bioactive and selective inhibitor at 2.53 Å resolution. In the presence of this inhibitor, the enzyme adopts a novel conformation in which domains II and IV are juxtaposed, forming a hollow structure that excludes external solvent access to the catalytic center. A loop adjacent to the enzyme's GAMEN motif undergoes structural reconfiguration, allowing the accommodation of bulky inhibitor side chains. Atomic interactions between the inhibitor and IRAP that are unique to this conformation can explain the strong selectivity compared to homologous aminopeptidases ERAP1 and ERAP2. This conformation provides insight on IRAP's catalytic cycle and reveals significant active-site plasticity that may underlie its substrate permissiveness.

IRAP + endosomes restrict TLR9 activation and signaling. Nat Immunol 2017; 18:509-518.

Abstract
The retention of intracellular Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the endoplasmic reticulum prevents their activation under basal conditions. TLR9 is activated by sensing ligands in specific endosomal-lysosomal compartments. Here we identified IRAP+ endosomes as major cellular compartments for the early steps of TLR9 activation in dendritic cells (DCs). Both TLR9 and its ligand, the dinucleotide CpG, were present as cargo in IRAP+ endosomes. In the absence of the aminopeptidase IRAP, the trafficking of CpG and TLR9 to lysosomes and signaling via TLR9 were enhanced in DCs and in mice following bacterial infection. IRAP stabilized CpG-containing endosomes by interacting with the actin-nucleation factor FHOD4, which slowed the trafficking of TLR9 toward lysosomes. Thus, endosomal retention of TLR9 via the interaction of IRAP with the actin cytoskeleton is a mechanism that prevents hyper-activation of TLR9 in DCs.

Abstract
Ismail et al. show that 27-hydroxycholesterol, a peripheral cholesterol metabolite capable of passing the blood–brain barrier, reduces brain glucose uptake by upregulating the renin-angiotensin system and inhibiting GLUT4. This alteration affects memory processes and is likely to have implications on neurodegenerative diseases. Hypercholesterolemia is associated with cognitively deteriorated states. Here, we show that excess 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OH), a cholesterol metabolite passing from the circulation into the brain, reduced in vivo brain glucose uptake, GLUT4 expression, and spatial memory. Furthermore, patients exhibiting higher 27-OH levels had reduced 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake. This interplay between 27-OH and glucose uptake revealed the engagement of the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP). 27-OH increased the levels and activity of IRAP, countered the IRAP antagonist angiotensin IV (AngIV)–mediated glucose uptake, and enhanced the levels of the AngIV-degrading enzyme aminopeptidase N (AP-N). These effects were mediated by liver X receptors. Our results reveal a molecular link between cholesterol, brain glucose, and the brain renin-angiotensin system, all of which are affected in some neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, reducing 27-OH levels or inhibiting AP-N maybe a useful strategy in the prevention of the altered glucose metabolism and memory decline in these disorders.

Separate effects of the ankylosing spondylitis associated ERAP1 and ERAP2 aminopeptidases determine the influence of their combined phenotype on the HLA-B*27 peptidome. J Autoimmun 2017; 79:28-38. [PMID: 28063628 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaut.2016.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2016] [Revised: 12/28/2016] [Accepted: 12/29/2016] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory disease strongly associated with the Major Histocompatibility Complex class I (MHC-I) allotype HLA-B*27. The endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidases (ERAP)1 and 2, which trim peptides to their optimal length for MHC-I binding, are also susceptibility factors for this disease. Both highly active ERAP1 variants and ERAP2 expression favor AS, whereas loss-of-function ERAP1 and loss-of-expression ERAP2 variants are protective. Yet, only ERAP1 is in epistasis with HLA-B*27. We addressed two issues concerning the functional interaction of ERAP1 and ERAP2 with the HLA-B*27 peptidome in human cells: 1) distinguishing the effects of ERAP1 from those of ERAP2, and 2) determining the influence of ERAP2 in distinct ERAP1 contexts. Quantitative comparisons of the HLA-B*27:05 peptidomes from cells with various ERAP1/ERAP2 phenotypes were carried out. When cells expressing ERAP2 and either high or low activity ERAP1 variants were compared, increased amounts of nonamers, relative to longer ligands, and decreased amounts of peptides with Ala1, were observed in the more active ERAP1 context. When cells expressing ERAP2 in a low activity ERAP1 context or lacking ERAP2 but expressing a highly active ERAP1 variant were compared, the same effects on peptide length and Ala1, but also significantly lower amounts of peptides with N-terminal basic residues and lower affinity of the peptidome, were observed in the ERAP2-positive context. Thus, ERAP1 and ERAP2 have significant and distinct effects on the HLA-B*27 peptidome, suggesting that both enzymes largely act as separate entities in vivo. This may explain their different patterns of association with AS.

Abstract
Intracerebroventricular injection of angiotensin IV, a ligand of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), has been shown to improve cognitive functions in several animal models. Consequently, IRAP is considered a potential target for treatment of cognitive disorders. To identify nonpeptidic IRAP inhibitors, we adapted an established enzymatic assay based on membrane preparations from Chinese hamster ovary cells and a synthetic peptide-like substrate for high-throughput screening purposes. The 384-well microplate-based absorbance assay was used to screen a diverse set of 10,500 compounds for their inhibitory capacity of IRAP. The assay performance was robust with Z'-values ranging from 0.81 to 0.91, and the screen resulted in 23 compounds that displayed greater than 60% inhibition at a compound concentration of 10 μM. After hit confirmation experiments, purity analysis, and promiscuity investigations, three structurally different compounds were considered particularly interesting as starting points for the development of small-molecule-based IRAP inhibitors. After resynthesis, all three compounds confirmed low μM activity and were shown to be rapidly reversible. Additional characterization included activity in a fluorescence-based orthogonal assay and in the presence of a nonionic detergent and a reducing agent, respectively. Importantly, the characterized compounds also showed inhibition of the human ortholog, prompting our further interest in these novel IRAP inhibitors.

Abstract
Angiotensin IV (Ang IV) and related peptide analogs, as well as nonpeptide inhibitors of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), have previously been shown to enhance memory and cognition in animal models. Furthermore, the endogenous IRAP substrates oxytocin and vasopressin are known to facilitate learning and memory. In this study, the two recently synthesized 13-membered macrocyclic competitive IRAP inhibitors HA08 and HA09, which were designed to mimic the N terminus of oxytocin and vasopressin, were assessed and compared based on their ability to bind to the IRAP active site, and alter dendritic spine density in rat hippocampal primary cultures. The binding modes of the IRAP inhibitors HA08, HA09, and of Ang IV in either the extended or γ-turn conformation at the C terminus to human IRAP were predicted by docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The binding free energies calculated with the linear interaction energy method, which are in excellent agreement with experimental data and simulations, have been used to explain the differences in activities of the IRAP inhibitors, both of which are structurally very similar, but differ only with regard to one stereogenic center. In addition, we show that HA08, which is 100-fold more potent than the epimer HA09, can enhance dendritic spine number and alter morphology, a process associated with memory facilitation. Therefore, HA08, one of the most potent IRAP inhibitors known today, may serve as a suitable starting point for medicinal chemistry programs aided by MD simulations aimed at discovering more drug-like cognitive enhancers acting via augmenting synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Within the hippocampus, the major somatostatin (SRIF) receptor subtype, the sst2A receptor, is localized at postsynaptic sites of the principal neurons where it modulates neuronal activity. Following agonist exposure, this receptor rapidly internalizes and recycles slowly through the trans-Golgi network. In epilepsy, a high and chronic release of somatostatin occurs, which provokes, in both rat and human tissue, a decrease in the density of this inhibitory receptor at the cell surface. The insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is involved in vesicular trafficking and shares common regional distribution with the sst2A receptor. In addition, IRAP ligands display anticonvulsive properties. We therefore sought to assess by in vitro and in vivo experiments in hippocampal rat tissue whether IRAP ligands could regulate the trafficking of the sst2A receptor and, consequently, modulate limbic seizures. Using pharmacological and cell biological approaches, we demonstrate that IRAP ligands accelerate the recycling of the sst2A receptor that has internalized in neurons in vitro or in vivo. Most importantly, because IRAP ligands increase the density of this inhibitory receptor at the plasma membrane, they also potentiate the neuropeptide SRIF inhibitory effects on seizure activity. Our results further demonstrate that IRAP is a therapeutic target for the treatment of limbic seizures and possibly for other neurological conditions in which downregulation of G-protein-coupled receptors occurs.

Abstract
Cross-presentation, in which exogenous antigens are presented via MHC I complexes, is involved both in the generation of anti-infectious and anti-tumoral cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and in the maintenance of immune tolerance. While cross-presentation was described almost four decades ago and while it is now established that some dendritic cell (DC) subsets are better than others in processing and cross-presenting internalized antigens, the involved molecular mechanisms remain only partially understood. Some of the least explored molecular mechanisms in cross-presentation concern the origin of cross-presenting MHC I molecules and the cellular compartments where antigenic peptide loading occurs. This review focuses on MHC I molecules and their intracellular trafficking. We discuss the source of cross-presenting MHC I in DCs as well as the role of the endocytic pathway in their recycling from the cell surface. Next, we describe the importance of the TAP peptide transporter for delivering peptides to MHC I during cross-presentation. Finally, we highlight the impact of innate immunity mechanisms on specific antigen cross-presentation mechanisms in which TLR activation modulates MHC I trafficking and TAP localization.

Abstract
Several cellular signaling pathways are regulated by ADP-ribosylation, a posttranslational modification catalyzed by members of the ARTD superfamily. Tankyrases are distinguishable from the rest of this family by their unique domain organization, notably the sterile alpha motif responsible for oligomerization and ankyrin repeats mediating protein-protein interactions. Tankyrases are involved in various cellular functions, such as telomere homeostasis, Wnt/β-catenin signaling, glucose metabolism, and cell cycle progression. In these processes, Tankyrases regulate the interactions and stability of target proteins by poly (ADP-ribosyl)ation. Modified proteins are subsequently recognized by the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF146, poly-ubiquitinated and predominantly guided to 26S proteasomal degradation. Several small molecule inhibitors have been described for Tankyrases; they compete with the co-substrate NAD+ for binding to the ARTD catalytic domain. The recent, highly potent and selective inhibitors possess several properties of lead compounds and can be used for proof-of-concept studies in cancer and other Tankyrase linked diseases.

Abstract
The activation, or maturation, of dendritic cells (DCs) is crucial for the initiation of adaptive T-cell mediated immune responses. Research on the molecular mechanisms implicated in DC maturation has focused primarily on inducible gene-expression events promoting the acquisition of new functions, such as cytokine production and enhanced T-cell-stimulatory capacity. In contrast, mechanisms that modulate DC function by inducing widespread gene-silencing remain poorly understood. Yet the termination of key functions is known to be critical for the function of activated DCs. Genome-wide analysis of activation-induced histone deacetylation, combined with genome-wide quantification of activation-induced silencing of nascent transcription, led us to identify a novel inducible transcriptional-repression pathway that makes major contributions to the DC-maturation process. This silencing response is a rapid primary event distinct from repression mechanisms known to operate at later stages of DC maturation. The repressed genes function in pivotal processes--including antigen-presentation, extracellular signal detection, intracellular signal transduction and lipid-mediator biosynthesis--underscoring the central contribution of the silencing mechanism to rapid reshaping of DC function. Interestingly, promoters of the repressed genes exhibit a surprisingly high frequency of PU.1-occupied sites, suggesting a novel role for this lineage-specific transcription factor in marking genes poised for inducible repression.

Abstract
Generation and destruction of antigenic peptides by ER resident aminopeptidases ERAP1 and ERAP2 have been shown in the last few years to be important for the correct functioning and regulation of the adaptive immune response. These two highly homologous aminopeptidases appear to have evolved complex mechanisms well suited for their biological role in antigen presentation. Furthermore, polymorphic variability in these enzymes appears to affect their function and predispose individuals to disease. This review discusses our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind ERAP1/2 function as suggested by several recently determined crystallographic structures of these enzymes.

Abstract
Peptide epitopes presented by MHC class I molecules are produced through sequential proteolysis, frequently terminating with an aminoterminal trimming step. While the trimming enzymes processing endogenous MHC class I ligands in the endoplasmic reticulum have by now been characterized extensively, we have only recently identified an endosomal enzyme, insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) that can trim cross-presented peptides derived from proteins internalized by dendritic cells. Here we summarize the essential features of IRAP as a trimming enzyme, propose an updated model of cellular cross-presentation pathways, and discuss potential additional functions of IRAP and its compartment in dendritic cell biology.

Abstract
The association of ERAP1 with ankylosing spondylitis (AS)1 among HLA-B27-positive individuals suggests that ERAP1 polymorphism may affect pathogenesis by altering peptide-dependent features of the HLA-B27 molecule. Comparisons of HLA-B*27:04-bound peptidomes from cells expressing different natural variants of ERAP1 revealed significant differences in the size, length, and amount of many ligands, as well as in HLA-B27 stability. Peptide analyses suggested that the mechanism of ERAP1/HLA-B27 interaction is a variant-dependent alteration in the balance between epitope generation and destruction determined by the susceptibility of N-terminal flanking and P1 residues to trimming. ERAP1 polymorphism associated with AS susceptibility ensured efficient peptide trimming and high HLA-B27 stability. Protective polymorphism resulted in diminished ERAP1 activity, less efficient trimming, suboptimal HLA-B27 peptidomes, and decreased molecular stability. This study demonstrates that natural ERAP1 polymorphism affects HLA-B27 antigen presentation and stability in vivo and proposes a mechanism for the interaction between these molecules in AS.
