Doctoral Dissertations. 250. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/250 Localization and Dynamics of Myosin Vb in Mammalian Cells Eun-Ji Kim, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2013 Abstract The myosin superfamily is a large and diverse family of proteins that are capable of binding to actin filaments and generating mechanical forces by hydrolyzing ATP. Myosins perform a diverse set of functions in cell, including endocytosis, exocytosis, movement of pigment granules or mRNA, and cell motility1. More specifically, Class-V myosins are a group of barbed-end directed motors that have been implicated in organelle transport. For example, in vitro motility assays suggest that myosin Va is a processive motor with a step size of 36 nm2-4 and moves at the speed of 0.6 µm/sec, which is consistent with a functional role in actin-based transport process. Although the properties of myosin V in vitro are relatively well-studied, much less is understood about the motility and protein-protein interaction of myosin V in vivo. Previous studies of molecular motor proteins in vivo have analyzed intracellular cargoes, which are decorated with multiple types of motor proteins5,6, making it difficult to deduce the exact dynamics and the function of a specific motor protein. In this work, we carried out experiments to analyze the localization and the dynamics of myosin Vb in live mammalian cells at both the ensemble level and the level of individual myosin Vb molecules. We found that: 1) motor molecules localize and accumulate at regions enriched in F-actin i Eun-Ji Kim-University of Connecticut, 2013 barbed-ends; 2) individual motor molecules have a high stalling rate when bound to F-actin and do not undergo continuous long-distance movement in cells and 3) over-expression of myosin Vb motor domains promotes filopodia growth. Based on these observations, we propose a novel cellular function of myosin Vb proteins: myosin Vb facilitates linear F-actin growth by moving towards, and eventually binding to, the barbed-ends of individual actin filaments, which in turn prevents capping of the F-actin. Therefore, our study provides new insights into the mechanism of myosin’s function in filopodia formation. ii Localization and Dynamics of Myosin Vb in Mammalian Cells Eun-Ji Kim, Ph.D. B.S.

  • Defining Functional Interactions During Biogenesis of Epithelial Junctions
    ARTICLE Received 11 Dec 2015 | Accepted 13 Oct 2016 | Published 6 Dec 2016 | Updated 5 Jan 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms13542 OPEN Defining functional interactions during biogenesis of epithelial junctions J.C. Erasmus1,*, S. Bruche1,*,w, L. Pizarro1,2,*, N. Maimari1,3,*, T. Poggioli1,w, C. Tomlinson4,J.Lees5, I. Zalivina1,w, A. Wheeler1,w, A. Alberts6, A. Russo2 & V.M.M. Braga1 In spite of extensive recent progress, a comprehensive understanding of how actin cytoskeleton remodelling supports stable junctions remains to be established. Here we design a platform that integrates actin functions with optimized phenotypic clustering and identify new cytoskeletal proteins, their functional hierarchy and pathways that modulate E-cadherin adhesion. Depletion of EEF1A, an actin bundling protein, increases E-cadherin levels at junctions without a corresponding reinforcement of cell–cell contacts. This unexpected result reflects a more dynamic and mobile junctional actin in EEF1A-depleted cells. A partner for EEF1A in cadherin contact maintenance is the formin DIAPH2, which interacts with EEF1A. In contrast, depletion of either the endocytic regulator TRIP10 or the Rho GTPase activator VAV2 reduces E-cadherin levels at junctions. TRIP10 binds to and requires VAV2 function for its junctional localization. Overall, we present new conceptual insights on junction stabilization, which integrate known and novel pathways with impact for epithelial morphogenesis, homeostasis and diseases. 1 National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 2 Computing Department, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 3 Bioengineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 4 Department of Surgery & Cancer, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK.

The OTX2 homeoprotein is critical for choroid plexus development and remains highly expressed in adult choroid plexus. Through RNA sequencing analyses of constitutive and conditional knockdown adult mouse models, we reveal putative roles for OTX2 in choroid plexus function, including cell signaling and adhesion, and show that it regulates the expression of factors secreted into cerebrospinal fluid, notably transthyretin. We show that Otx2 expression impacts choroid plexus immune and stress responses, and also affects splicing which leads to changes in mRNA isoforms of proteins implicated in oxidative stress response and DNA repair.

  • Cytoskeletal Remodeling in Cancer
    biology Review Cytoskeletal Remodeling in Cancer Jaya Aseervatham Department of Ophthalmology, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77054, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +146-9767-0166 Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 7 November 2020 Simple Summary: Cell migration is an essential process from embryogenesis to cell death. This is tightly regulated by numerous proteins that help in proper functioning of the cell. In diseases like cancer, this process is deregulated and helps in the dissemination of tumor cells from the primary site to secondary sites initiating the process of metastasis. For metastasis to be efficient, cytoskeletal components like actin, myosin, and intermediate filaments and their associated proteins should co-ordinate in an orderly fashion leading to the formation of many cellular protrusions-like lamellipodia and filopodia and invadopodia. Knowledge of this process is the key to control metastasis of cancer cells that leads to death in 90% of the patients. The focus of this review is giving an overall understanding of these process, concentrating on the changes in protein association and regulation and how the tumor cells use it to their advantage. Since the expression of cytoskeletal proteins can be directly related to the degree of malignancy, knowledge about these proteins will provide powerful tools to improve both cancer prognosis and treatment. Abstract: Successful metastasis depends on cell invasion, migration, host immune escape, extravasation, and angiogenesis. The process of cell invasion and migration relies on the dynamic changes taking place in the cytoskeletal components; actin, tubulin and intermediate filaments. This is possible due to the plasticity of the cytoskeleton and coordinated action of all the three, is crucial for the process of metastasis from the primary site.

The signaling pathways that coordinate this process are not well understood, and we demonstrate here that homeodomain- interacting protein kinase 4 (HIPK4) is essential for spermiogenesis and male fertility in mice. HIPK4 is predominantly expressed in round and early elongating spermatids, and Hipk4 knockout males are sterile, exhibiting phenotypes consistent with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia.

  • Dissecting Myosin-5B Mechanosensitivity and Calcium Regulation at the Single Molecule Level
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05251-z OPEN Dissecting myosin-5B mechanosensitivity and calcium regulation at the single molecule level Lucia Gardini 1,2, Sarah M. Heissler3, Claudia Arbore1,4, Yi Yang3,5, James R. Sellers3, Francesco S. Pavone1,2,4 & Marco Capitanio 1,4 Myosin-5B is one of three members of the myosin-5 family of actin-based molecular motors. Despite its fundamental role in recycling endosome trafficking and in collective actin network 1234567890():,; dynamics, the molecular mechanisms underlying its motility are inherently unknown. Here we combine single-molecule imaging and high-speed laser tweezers to dissect the mechan- oenzymatic properties of myosin-5B. We show that a single myosin-5B moves processively in 36-nm steps, stalls at ~2 pN resistive forces, and reverses its directionality at forces >2 pN. Interestingly, myosin-5B mechanosensitivity differs from that of myosin-5A, while it is strikingly similar to kinesin-1. In particular, myosin-5B run length is markedly and asymme- trically sensitive to force, a property that might be central to motor ensemble coordination. Furthermore, we show that Ca2+ does not affect the enzymatic activity of the motor unit, but abolishes myosin-5B processivity through calmodulin dissociation, providing important insights into the regulation of postsynaptic cargoes trafficking in neuronal cells. 1 LENS—European Laboratory for Non-linear Spectroscopy, University of Florence, Via Nello Carrara 1, 50019 Sesto Fiorentino, Italy. 2 National Institute of Optics—National Research Council, Largo Fermi 6, 50125 Florence, Italy. 3 Laboratory of Molecular Physiology, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892-8015, USA.

Blaner, Malini Olivo, Weiping Han, Vivek Tanavde, Sue-Anne Toh, and Shigeki Sugii Supplementary Experimental Procedures RNA-Seq experiment and analysis Total RNA was extracted from SC and VS fat depots using Qiagen RNeasy plus kit. Poly-A mRNA was then enriched from ~5 µg of total RNA with oligo dT beads (Life Technologies). Approximately 100 ng of poly-A mRNA recovered was used to construct multiplexed strand-specific RNA-seq libraries as per manufacturer’s instruction (NEXTflexTM Rapid Directional RNA-SEQ Kit (dUTP-Based) v2). Individual library quality was assessed with an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and quantified with a QuBit 2.0 fluorometer before pooling for sequencing on Illumina HiSeq 2000 (1x101 bp read). The pooled libraries were quantified using the KAPA quantification kit (KAPA Biosystems) prior to cluster formation. Fastq formatted reads were processed with Trimmomatic to remove adapter sequences and trim low quality bases (LEADING:3 TRAILING:3 SLIDINGWINDOW:4:15 MINLEN:36). Reads were aligned to the human genome (hg19) using Tophat version 2 (settings --no-coverage-search --library- type=fr-firststrand). Feature read counts were generated using htseq-count (Python package HTSeq default union-counting mode, strand=reverse). Differential Expression analysis was performed using the edgeR package in both ‘classic’ and generalized linear model (glm) modes to contrast SC and VS adipose tissues from 8 non-diabetic patients.

  • Activation of the Endogenous Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System Or Aldosterone Administration Increases Urinary Exosomal Sodium Channel Excretion
    CLINICAL RESEARCH www.jasn.org Activation of the Endogenous Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System or Aldosterone Administration Increases Urinary Exosomal Sodium Channel Excretion † † Ying Qi,* Xiaojing Wang, Kristie L. Rose,* W. Hayes MacDonald,* Bing Zhang, ‡ | Kevin L. Schey,* and James M. Luther § Departments of *Biochemistry, †Bioinformatics, ‡Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Department of Medicine, §Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, and |Department of Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee ABSTRACT Urinary exosomes secreted by multiple cell types in the kidney may participate in intercellular signaling and provide an enriched source of kidney-specific proteins for biomarker discovery. Factors that alter the exosomal protein content remain unknown. To determine whether endogenous and exogenous hormones modify urinary exosomal protein content, we analyzed samples from 14 mildly hypertensive patients in a crossover study during a high-sodium (HS, 160 mmol/d) diet and low-sodium (LS, 20 mmol/d) diet to activate the endogenous renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. We further analyzed selected exosomal protein content in a separate cohort of healthy persons receiving intravenous aldosterone (0.7 mg/kg per hour for 10 hours) versus vehicle infusion. The LS diet increased plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration, whereas aldosterone infusion increased only aldosterone concentration. Protein analysis of paired urine exosome samples by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry–based multidimen- sional protein identification technology detected 2775 unique proteins, of which 316 exhibited signifi- cantly altered abundance during LS diet. Sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC) and a-andg-epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) subunits from the discovery set were verified using targeted multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry quantified with isotope-labeled peptide standards.
