Inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate activates a calcium channel in isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane vesicles isolated from frog skeletal muscle display high conductance calcium channels when fused into phospholipid bilayers. The channels are selective for calcium and barium over Tris. The fractional open time was voltage-independent (-40 to +25 mV), but was steeply dependent on the free cis [Ca2+] (P0 = 0.02 at 10 microM cis Ca2+ and 0.77 at 150 microM Ca2+; estimated Hill coefficient: 1.6). Addition of ATP (1 mM; cis) further increased P0 from 0.77 to 0.94. Calcium activation was reversed by addition of EGTA to the cis compartment. Magnesium (2 mM) increased the frequency of rapid closures and 8 mM magnesium decreased the current amplitude from 3.4 to 1.2 pA at 0 mV, suggesting a reversible fast blockade. Addition of increasing concentrations of inositol (1, 4, 5)-triphosphate (cis), increased P0 from 0.10 +/- 0.01 (mean +/- SEM) in the control to 0.85 +/- 0.02 at 50 microM in an approximately sigmoidal fashion, with an apparent half-maximal activation at 15 microM inositol (1, 4, 5)-trisphosphate in the presence of 40 microM cis Ca2+. Lower concentrations of this agonist were required to produce a significant increase in P0 when 10 microM or less cis Ca2+ were used. The channel was blocked by the addition to the cis compartment of either 0.5 mM lanthanum, 0.5 microM ruthenium red, or 200 nM ryanodine, all known inhibitors of Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. These results demonstrate the presence of calcium channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum from frog skeletal muscle with a pharmacological profile consistent with a role in excitation contraction coupling and with the hypothesis that inositol ( 1,4,5)-trisphosphate is a physiological agonist in this process.

Activation of calcium channels in sarcoplasmic reticulum from frog muscle by nanomolar concentrations of ryanodine.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from fast-twitch frog skeletal muscle presented two classes of binding sites for ryanodine, one of high affinity (Kd1 = 1.7 nM, Bmax1 = 3.3 pmol per mg) and a second class with lower affinity (Kd2 = 90 nM, Bmax2 = 7.0 pmol per milligram). The calcium channels present in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes were studied in vesicles fused into lipid bilayers. Low concentrations of ryanodine (5 to 10 nM) activated a large conductance calcium channel after a short delay (5 to 10 min). The activation, which could be elicited from conditions of high or low fractional open time, was characterized by an increase in channel fractional open time without a change in conductance. The open and closed dwell time distributions were fitted with the sum of two exponentials in the range of 4 to 800 ms. The activating effect of ryanodine was due to an increase of both open time constants and a concomitant decrease in the closed time constants. Under conditions of low fractional open time (less than 0.1), the time spent in long closed periods (greater than 800 ms) between bursts was not affected by ryanodine. Higher concentrations of ryanodine (250 nM) locked the channel in a lower conductance level (approximately 40%) with a fractional open time near unity. These results suggest that the activating effects of nanomolar concentrations of ryanodine may arise from drug binding to high affinity sites. The expression of the lower conductance state obtained with higher concentrations of ryanodine may be associated with the low affinity binding sites observed in frog sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Role of sarcoplasmic reticulum in the myorelaxant activity of nitric oxide donors in guinea pig gastric fundus.

The relaxant effect of two nitric oxide (NO) donors: sodium nitroprusside and 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) on circular smooth muscle strips isolated from guinea pig gastric fundus was studied with the view to elucidating the mechanism, which underlies the NO-induced relaxation of this tissue. Both sodium nitroprusside (10(-9)-10(-5) M) and SIN-1 (10(-9)-10(-4) M) suppressed the spontaneous fundus tone and hyperpolarized the muscle cells by about 5 mV. They antagonized the acetylcholine (10(-6) M)-induced tone and exerted their relaxant effects even when Ca2+ influx into the cells was triggered through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Sodium nitroprusside and SIN-1 antagonized the contraction induced by cyclopiazonic acid (10(-5) M), a specific inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. In the presence of high concentrations of sodium nitroprusside or SIN-1, cyclopiazonic acid (10(-5) M) exerted only a slight if any contractile effect. After the complete relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside or SIN-1, the K+-channel blockers, tetraethylammonium, apamin and charybdotoxin, as well as the Ca2+ ionophore, A 23187, induced high-amplitude contractions, suggesting that the Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile myofilaments was not affected. The results suggest that NO, released from NO donors increases the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ uptake thereby enhancing the vectorial sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release toward the plasmalemma to elicit membrane hyperpolarization and relaxation in guinea pig gastric fundus.

Properties of amentoflavone, a potent caffeine-like Ca2+ releaser in skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Amentoflavone, like caffeine, caused a concentration-dependent increase in Ca2+ release from the heavy fraction of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscle. The Ca2+ -releasing activity of amentoflavone was approximately 20 times more potent than that of caffeine. The bell-shaped profile of Ca2+ dependence for amentoflavone was almost the same as that for caffeine. Typical blockers of Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ release channels, such as Mg2+, procaine and ruthenium red, inhibited markedly amentoflavone- and caffeine-induced 45Ca2+ release. The maximum 45Ca2+ release in response to amentoflavone was not changed by caffeine, but was further increased by adenosine-5'-(beta,gamma-methylene) triphosphate. This compound enhanced [3H]ryanodine binding to the heavy fraction of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum with a decrease in K(D) but without a change in Bmax. These results suggest that amentoflavone, which does not contain a nitrogen atom, probably binds to the caffeine-binding site in Ca2+ channels and thus potentiates Ca2+ -induced Ca2+ release from the heavy fraction of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum.

An antagonist of ATP-regulated potassium channels, the guanidine derivative U-37883A, stimulates the synthesis of phosphatidylserine in rat liver endoplasmic reticulum membranes.

The guanidine derivative U-37883A has been found to stimulate in vitro synthesis of phosphatidylserine in endoplasmic reticulum membranes, catalyzed exclusively by a serine-specific base exchange enzyme. The stimulation of the enzyme activity by the drug was concentration-dependent, with EC50 of 54 microM, while the biologically inactive analog of U-37883A, U-42069, was without effect. The stimulation caused by U-37883A was enhanced under the conditions when active transport of Ca2+ into the lumen of microsomal vesicles was induced, whereas it was inhibited by a calcium ionophore, A23187, and by a specific inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase, thapsigargin. On the other hand, a potassium ionophore, valinomycin, had no effect on phosphatidylserine synthesis. U-37883A did not affect the Km of the base exchange enzyme for serine, but greatly reduced the EC50 value of the enzyme for calcium. Furthermore, Ca2+ uptake by endoplasmic reticulum vesicles has been found to increase in the presence of U-37883A. These observations suggest that U-37883A enhances phosphatidylserine synthesis indirectly by acting on calcium transport, thus affecting calcium concentration within the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Alternatively, the effect of the drug could be propagated via the mechanism by which phospholipid flip-flop movement, known to regulate the serine-specific base exchange reaction, is modulated.

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activity is increased in sarcoplasmic reticulum from coronary artery ligated rabbit hearts.

A protein kinase activity intrinsic to the sarcoplasmic reticulum was studied in normal and hypertrophied rabbit hearts. The relationship between this kinase activity and phospholamban phosphorylation was examined. Calmodulin-dependent kinase II activity was found to be increased in sarcoplasmic reticulum preparations from hypertrophied hearts compared with normal. This was evident by measuring the phosphotransferase activity of the kinase and also by examining phospholamban phosphorylation by electrophoretic band shift analysis. Increased phospholamban phosphorylation by Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II was dependent on prior phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, indicating potential crosstalk. Specific immunoblot analysis of the rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum identified the presence of the delta form of calmodulin dependent protein kinase II and showed it to be up-regulated in hypertrophied hearts.

Quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum: lessons from hereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency.

The optimal level of oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity in human neutrophils depends on the generation of highly toxic products, including hypochlorous acid, by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of chloride anion and the neutrophil granule protein myeloperoxidase (MPO). The biosynthesis of MPO is normally restricted to the promyelocytic stage of myeloid development and includes N-linked glycosylation, heme insertion, proteolytic processing, subunit dimerization, and eventual targeting to the azurophilic granule. In the endoplasmic reticulum, MPO precursors interact transiently with calreticulin and calnexin, presumably in their capacity as molecular chaperones. In light of the important role of the MPO-H2O2-chloride system in human host defense, the relatively high prevalence of inherited MPO deficiency was an unanticipated insight provided by the widespread use of automated flow cytometry for the enumeration of leukocytes in clinical specimens. In many cases of inherited MPO deficiency, affected neutrophils have immunochemical evidence of precursor protein but lack the subunits of mature MPO, peroxidase activity, or the ability to chlorinate target proteins. To date, four genotypes have been reported to cause inherited MPO deficiency, each of which results in missense mutations. In the genotype Y173C, the mutant precursor is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum by virtue of its prolonged interaction with calnexin, and it eventually undergoes degradation in the 20S proteasome. In this way, the quality control system operating in the endoplasmic reticulum retrieves malfolded MPO precursors from the biosynthetic pathway and creates the biochemical phenotype of MPO deficiency. Thus MPO deficiency caused by Y173C joins the ranks of cystic fibrosis, protein C deficiency, and other genetic disorders that reflect abnormalities in protein folding.

SNARE-mediated retrograde traffic from the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Operation of the secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells requires the selective docking and fusion of transport vesicles with the appropriate target organelle. This is mediated in part by integral membrane proteins termed v-SNAREs (on vesicles) and t-SNAREs (on the target membranes). We describe a novel yeast t-SNARE that resides on the endoplasmic reticulum and mediates retrograde traffic from the Golgi complex. Mutation of this protein prevents both the HDEL receptor and a membrane protein bearing a dibasic retrieval signal from recycling to the endoplasmic reticulum. Forward traffic is also blocked, but only indirectly. Comparison with other yeast mutants indicates that Sec21p (gamma-COP) and Sec20p (an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein) are also involved primarily, if not exclusively, in retrograde transport.

Functional measurements of [Ca2+] in the endoplasmic reticulum using a herpes virus to deliver targeted aequorin.

Changes in the free calcium concentration of the endoplasmic reticulum ([Ca2+]er) play a central role controlling cellular functions like contraction, secretion or neuronal signaling. We recently reported that recombinant aequorin targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) [Montero M., Brini M., Marsault R. et al. Monitoring dynamic changes in free Ca2+ concentration in the endoplasmic reticulum of intact cells. EMBO J 1995; 14: 5467-5475, Montero M., Barrero M.J., Alvarez J. [Ca2+] microdomains control agonist-induced Ca2+ release in intact cells. FASEB J 1997; 11: 881-886] can be used to monitor selectively [Ca2+]er in intact HeLa cells. Here we have used a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) based system to deliver targeted aequorin into a number of different cell types including both postmitotic primary cells (anterior pituitary cells, chromaffin cells and cerebellar neurons) and cell lines (HeLa, NIH3T3, GH3 and PC12 cells). Functional studies showed that the steady state lumenal [Ca2+]er ranged from around 300 microM in granule cells to 800 microM in GH3 cells. InsP3-coupled receptor stimulation with agonists like histamine (in HeLa, NIH3T3 and chromaffin cells), UTP and bradykinin (in PC12 cells) or thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH, in GH3 cells) produced a very rapid decrease in lumenal [Ca2+]er. Caffeine caused a rapid Ca2+ depletion of the ER in chromaffin cells, but not in the other cell types. Depolarization by high K+ produced an immediate and reversible increase of [Ca2+]er in all the excitable cells (anterior pituitary, GH3, chromaffin cells and granule neurons). We conclude that delivery of recombinant aequorin to the ER using HSV amplicon provides the first direct quantitative and dynamic measurements of [Ca2+]er in several primary non-dividing cells.

Subplasmalemmal Ca-stores in Paramecium tetraurelia. Identification and characterisation of a sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum-like Ca(2+)-ATPase by phosphoenzyme intermediate formation and its inhibition by caffeine.

Considering increasing interest in calcium stores in protozoa, including parasitic forms, and specifically in subplasmalemmal stores in higher eukaryotes, we have isolated subplasmalemmal calcium stores (alveolar sacs) from the ciliated protozoan, Paramecium tetraurelia. Using antibodies against established sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCAs) we detected in Western blots of subcellular fractions a band of approximately 106 kDa size selectively in alveolar sacs--but not, for example, in plasma membranes--and concomitant restriction of immunofluorecence labelling to the cell cortex of permeabilised cells. These results are the same as with ABs against a peptide derived from a cloned SERCA-like gene from Paramecium [Hauser K., Pavlovic N., Kissmehl R., Plattner H. Molecular characterization of a sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase gene from Paramecium tetraurelia and localisation of its gene product to subplasmalemmal calcium stores. Biochem J 1998; 334: 31-38]. When such isolated alveolar sacs were now tested for phosphoenzyme intermediate (EP) formation, a phosphoprotein of the same apparent molecular mass (approximately 106 kDa) as in blots could be identified in gel autoradiograms. This EP corresponds to that formed in the reaction cycle of different SERCA-types, with dependency on Ca2+ and Mg2+, sensitivity to La3+ or insensitivity towards calmodulin, calmodulin antagonists and vanadate. However, EP formation in alveolar sacs is not inhibited by established SERCA inhibitors (e.g. thapsigargi[ci]n tested up to 100 microM). Surprisingly, caffeine, which is frequently used to mobilise Ca2+ from intracellular stores, strongly inhibits EP formation. In parallel experiments, we did not find any similar effect with sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from skeletal muscle. We conclude that the approximately 106 kDa protein of alveolar sacs in Paramecium may represent a SERCA-like Ca(2+)-ATPase with some unorthodox features, which might be relevant also for some other protozoan systems. In this case, the established Ca(2+)-mobilizing effect of caffeine may be amplified by inhibiting store refilling.

Theileria parva 104 kDa microneme--rhoptry protein is membrane-anchored by a non-cleaved amino-terminal signal sequence for entry into the endoplasmic reticulum.

The 104 kDa microneme-rhoptry protein (p104) is the only known apical complex organelle-specific protein of Theileria parva. p104 exhibits striking structural similarities to circumsporozoite protein and sporozoite surface protein 2 of Plasmodium yoelii. Their primary sequences contain two hydrophobic segments, located at the amino-and the carboxy-terminus. The p104 amino-terminal hydrophobic region was suggested to be a signal peptide for entry into the endoplasmic reticulum and the extreme carboxy-terminal region to function as a membrane anchor. We have studied the biogenesis of p104 in a cell-free expression system and found that p104 is co-translationally transported into membranes derived from endoplasmic reticulum. The amino-terminal signal peptide is not cleaved off and anchors the protein in the membrane with the carboxy-terminal portion translocated into the lumen. We suggest that in vivo p104 is co-translationally integrated into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, from where it is further transported to the microneme-rhoptry complex. Thus, p104 appears to be a suitable marker to study the development of micronemes and rhoptries in T. parva.

Exiting the endoplasmic reticulum.

The movement of nascent proteins from sites of synthesis to final cellular or extracellular destinations involves their transport through a distinct series of vesicular compartments. Vesicle biogenesis is regulated by specific proteins and co-factors that control distinct steps including budding, transport, docking, and fusion with target membranes. Budding requires assembly of a coat protein complex on the membrane, membrane deformation and the subsequent cleavage of the nascent vesicle from donor membrane. Coat proteins may also mediate vesicle interactions with the cytoskeleton or insulate the vesicles from fusion with unwanted compartments. Three classes of cytoplasmic coats have been identified. (1) Clathrin, interacting with different adaptor proteins, participates in endocytosis, lysosome biogenesis and as yet unidentified vesicular transport processes that arise in the trans-Golgi region of cells [reviewed in (Kreis, T.E., Lowe, M., Pepperkok, R., 1995. COPs regulating membrane traffic. Ann. Rev. Cell. Dev. Biol. 11, 677--706.)]. (2) The COPI coatomer is involved in retrograde traffic within the Golgi and from the cis-Golgi region to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It may also participate in anterograde transport from the ER [reviewed in (Aridor, M., Balch, W.E., 1999. Integration of endoplasmic reticulum signaling in health and disease. Nature 5, 745--751.)]. (3) COPII coats mediate anterograde transport of cargo out of the ER [Barlowe, C., Orci, L., Yeung, T., Hosobuchi, M., Hamamoto, S., Salama, N., Rexach, M.F., Ravazazola, M., Amherdt, M., Schekman, R., 1994. COPII: a membrane coat formed by sec proteins that drive vesicle budding from the endoplasmic reticulum. Cell 77, 895--907; Scales, S.J., Gomez, M., Kreis, T.E., 2000. Coat proteins regulating membrane traffic. Int. Rev. Cytol. 195, 67--144.]. The COPII coat is required for budding from the ER and ER to Golgi trafficking. Further, COPII proteins also participate in cargo selection and concentrate some nascent proteins in the budding vesicle. Recent studies have shown that human disease may result from mutations that affect proteins in COPII vesicles.

Retracted: The endoplasmic reticulum is the main site for caspase-3 activation following aluminum-induced neurotoxicity in rabbit hippocampus.

We have assessed the distribution of caspase-3 in subcellular fractions from rabbit brain hippocampus and find that in controls the pro-caspase-3 form is distributed mainly in the cytoplasm. In animals treated intracisternally with the neurotoxin aluminum-maltolate, although pro-caspase-3 levels are higher in the cytosolic fractions, p17, the active caspase-3, is localized mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. This distribution is confirmed by immunohistochemistry which demonstrates the co-localization of p17 with calnexin, a specific marker of the endoplasmic reticulum. Based on the apparent translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum of active caspase-3, an executioner of cell death, the results suggest that this organelle is an important site in the caspase-3 mediated apoptosis cascade. Inhibition of the latter enzyme by directly targeting its main site of activation could represent a strategy to prevent this adverse event.

Inositol trisphosphate and cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose increase quantal transmitter release at frog motor nerve terminals: possible involvement of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The release of chemical transmitter from nerve terminals is critically dependent on a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+. The increase in Ca2+ may be due to influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular fluid or release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores such as mitochondria. Whether Ca2+ utilized in transmitter release is liberated from organelles other than mitochondria is uncertain. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is known to release Ca2+, e.g., on activation by inositol trisphosphate or cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose, so the possibility exists that Ca2+ from this source may be involved in the events leading to exocytosis. We examined this hypothesis by testing whether inositol trisphosphate and cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose modified transmitter release. We used liposomes to deliver these agents into the cytoplasmic compartment and binomial analysis to determine their effects on the quantal components of transmitter release. Administration of inositol trisphosphate (10(-4)M) caused a rapid, 25% increase in the number of quanta released. This was due to an increase in the number of functional release sites, as the other quantal parameters were unaffected. The effect was reversed with 40 min of wash. Virtually identical results were obtained with cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose (10(-4)M). Inositol trisphosphate caused a 10% increase in quantal size, whereas cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose had no effect. The results suggest that quantal transmitter release can be increased by Ca2+ released from smooth endoplasmic reticulum upon stimulation by inositol trisphosphate or cyclic adenosine diphosphate-ribose. This may involve priming of synaptic vesicles at the release sites or mobilization of vesicles to the active zone. Inositol trisphosphate may have an additional action to increase the content of transmitter within the vesicles. These findings raise the possibility of a role of endogenous inositol phosphate and smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the regulation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and transmitter release.

Canalicular reticulum in vestibular hair cells.

A membrane limited system referred to as canalicular reticulum (CR) has been demonstrated in the apical cytosol of the cochlea's inner and outer hair cells. Similarities between cochlear and vestibular hair cells prompted investigation of the presence of CR in hair cells of the gerbil vestibular labyrinth. A method of fixation with glutaraldehyde followed by an osmium-ferrocyanide mixture demonstrated abundant CR in the apex of both type I and type II hair cells. The CR was closely associated with numerous Golgi zones in the apex of the vestibular hair cells, indicating its genesis from Golgi cisternae. Also preserved in upper cytosol were discrete complexes of mitochondria with granular reticulum. These complexes offered a possible site for generating the membrane in Golgi zones and CR. Single and parallel cisternae of granular reticulum were observed in the basal half of the hair cells together with numerous synaptic-like vesicles. These cisternae with their terminal blebbing and accompanying canaliculi were interpreted as novel structures mediating synaptic vesicle genesis in vestibular hair cells in a manner comparable to that postulated for cochlear inner hair cells.

Protein disulphide isomerase, a multifunctional endoplasmic reticulum protein.

Protein disulphide isomerase (E.C. 5.3.4.1) has been purified, cloned, and sequenced from a variety of vertebrate tissues. The enzyme and its isoforms have been assigned a role in four functional activities: (1) hydroxylation of proline residues in procollagen; (2) disulphide bond oxidation, isomerization, and reduction; (3) the major non-nuclear binding protein of the thyroid hormone 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine; and (4) a component of oligosaccharide transferase. The concentration of the enzyme has been shown to be positively correlated with an endoplasmic reticulum network which is active in secreting disulphide-bonded polypeptides. The enzyme is directed into the endoplasmic reticulum by virtue of a 19 residue N-terminal signal peptide; a four amino acid C-terminal KDEL sequence prevents the enzyme from being secreted. Careful inspection of the sequence data of the isoforms from human tissues reveals a 97% similarity; whereas, analyses of the data from chick tissues reveals only a 80% level of similarity. Chromosomal localizations using human cDNA probes against different human isoforms have assigned the gene(s) to opposite ends of the long arm of chromosome 17. The compiled data suggest the presence of a family of related polypeptides, all of which reside within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Inheritance of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

Yeast and mammalian cells use a variety of different mechanisms to ensure that the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are inherited by both daughter cells on cell division. In yeast, endoplasmic reticulum inheritance involves both active microtubule and passive actin-based mechanisms, while the Golgi is transported into the forming daughter cell by an active actin-based mechanism. Animal cells actively partition the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, but association with the mitotic spindle-rather than the actin cytoskeleton-appears to be the mechanism

The endoplasmic reticulum: integration of protein folding, quality control, signaling and degradation.

The endoplasmic reticulum is the entry point into the secretory pathway. To acquire a correct conformation, secretory proteins encounter the endoplasmic reticulum molecular machines of folding, quality control, signaling and disposal, which function as an integrated mechanism. The creation of such a molecular network, spatially regulated, suggests how the endoplasmic reticulum promotes the release of correctly folded secretory proteins.
