Abstract

Interleukin 1 (IL1) is a primary regulator of inflammatory and immune responses. Via its type I receptor it activates specific protein kinases, including the NF kappa B inducing kinase (NIK) and three distinct mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades. These modulate a number of transcription factors including NF kappa B, AP1 and CREB each of which regulate a plethora of immediate early genes central to the inflammatory response. Phase I clinical trials of the soluble type I receptor and IRAP indicate that these have potential anti-inflammatory effects.

Basolateral sorting of human poliovirus receptor alpha involves an interaction with the mu1B subunit of the clathrin adaptor complex in polarized epithelial cells.

Poliovirus receptor (hPVR/CD155) is a cell surface glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily but its natural function remains unknown. Two membrane-bound isoforms, hPVRalpha and hPVRdelta, are known to date, and they differ only in the amino acid sequence of their cytoplasmic domains. To gain an insight into the possible function of the cytoplasmic domains, we examined the localization of introduced hPVRalpha and hPVRdelta in polarized epithelial cells deficient of native hPVRs. Basolateral sorting of hPVRalpha was observed in Madine-Darby canine kidney cells expressing mu1B, but not in LLC-PK1 porcine kidney cells deficient in mu1B. Distribution of hPVRdelta, however, occurred both on the apical and basolateral plasma membranes of these two cell lines. Basolateral sorting of hPVRalpha was also seen in LLC-PK1 cells that expressed an intact exogenous mu1B, but not in the cells that expressed a mutant mu1B lacking binding ability to tyrosine-containing signals. These results indicate that mu1B is involved in the distribution of hPVRalpha to the basolateral membrane. Comparative distribution analysis of hPVRalpha using a series of mutants with truncations and substitutions in the cytoplasmic tail demonstrated that determinant for the basolateral sorting resided in the tyrosine-containing motif of the cytoplasmic tail. Furthermore, yeast two hybrid analysis strongly suggested that the tyrosine motif directly interacted with mu1B protein. Thus, basolateral sorting of hPVRalpha appears to involve the interaction with mu1B through a tyrosine motif existing in the cytoplasmic domain.

Similar subunit interactions contribute to assembly of clathrin adaptor complexes and COPI complex: analysis using yeast three-hybrid system.

Clathrin adaptor protein (AP) complexes are heterotetramers composed of two large, one medium, and one small subunits. By exploiting the yeast three-hybrid system, we have found that an interaction between the two large subunits of the AP-1 complex, gamma-adaptin and beta1-adaptin, is markedly enhanced in the presence of the small subunit, sigma1. Similarly, two large subunits of the AP-4 complex, epsilon-adaptin and beta4-adaptin, are found to interact with each other only in the presence of the small subunit, sigma4. Furthermore, we have found that an interaction between two large subunits of the COPI F subcomplex, gamma-COP and beta-COP, is detectable only in the presence of zeta-COP. Because these COPI subunits have common ancestral origins to the corresponding AP subunits, these three-hybrid data, taken together with the previous two-hybrid data, suggest that the AP complexes and the COPI F subcomplex assemble by virtue of similar subunit interactions.

Phosphorylation of threonine 156 of the mu2 subunit of the AP2 complex is essential for endocytosis in vitro and in vivo.

The clathrin-coated pit is the major port of entry for many receptors and pathogens and is the paradigm for membrane-based sorting events in higher cells [1]. Recently, it has been possible to reconstitute in vitro the events leading to assembly, invagination, and budding off of clathrin-coated vesicles, allowing dissection of the machinery required for sequestration of receptors into these structures [2-6]. The AP2 adaptor complex is a key element of this machinery linking receptors to the coat lattice, and it has previously been reported that AP2 can be phosphorylated both in vitro and in vivo [7-10]. However, the physiological significance of this has never been established. Here, we show that phosphorylation of a single threonine residue (Thr156) of the mu2 subunit of the AP2 complex is essential for efficient endocytosis of transferrin both in an in vitro coated-pit budding assay and in living cells.
