  • Constitutive Phospholipid Scramblase Activity of a G Protein-Coupled Receptor
    ARTICLE Received 19 Feb 2014 | Accepted 1 Sep 2014 | Published 8 Oct 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6115 Constitutive phospholipid scramblase activity of a G protein-coupled receptor Michael A. Goren1, Takefumi Morizumi2, Indu Menon1, Jeremiah S. Joseph3,w, Jeremy S. Dittman1, Vadim Cherezov3, Raymond C. Stevens3, Oliver P. Ernst2,4 & Anant K. Menon1 Opsin, the rhodopsin apoprotein, was recently shown to be an ATP-independent flippase (or scramblase) that equilibrates phospholipids across photoreceptor disc membranes in mammalian retina, a process required for disc homoeostasis. Here we show that scrambling is a constitutive activity of rhodopsin, distinct from its light-sensing function. Upon reconstitution into vesicles, discrete conformational states of the protein (rhodopsin, a metarhodopsin II-mimic, and two forms of opsin) facilitated rapid (410,000 phospholipids per protein per second) scrambling of phospholipid probes. Our results indicate that the large conformational changes involved in converting rhodopsin to metarhodopsin II are not required for scrambling, and that the lipid translocation pathway either lies near the protein surface or involves membrane packing defects in the vicinity of the protein. In addition, we demonstrate that b2-adrenergic and adenosine A2A receptors scramble lipids, suggesting that rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors may play an unexpected moonlighting role in re-modelling cell membranes. 1 Department of Biochemistry, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, New York 10065, USA. 2 Department of Biochemistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 1A8. 3 Department of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California 92037, USA. 4 Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 1A8.

  • Phospholipid Ebb and Flow Makes Mitochondria Go
    REVIEW Phospholipid ebb and flow makes mitochondria go Michelle Grace Acoba, Nanami Senoo, and Steven M. Claypool Mitochondria, so much more than just being energy factories, also have the capacity to synthesize macromolecules including phospholipids, particularly cardiolipin (CL) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Phospholipids are vital constituents of mitochondrial membranes, impacting the plethora of functions performed by this organelle. Hence, the orchestrated movement of phospholipids to and from the mitochondrion is essential for cellular integrity. In this review, we capture recent advances in the field of mitochondrial phospholipid biosynthesis and trafficking, highlighting the significance of interorganellar communication, intramitochondrial contact sites, and lipid transfer proteins in maintaining membrane homeostasis. We then discuss the physiological functions of CL and PE, specifically how they associate with protein complexes in mitochondrial membranes to support bioenergetics and maintain mitochondrial architecture.

  • Phosphatidylserine in Non-Apoptotic Cell Death Inbar Shlomovitz1, Mary Speir2,3 and Motti Gerlic1*
    Shlomovitz et al. Cell Communication and Signaling (2019) 17:139 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-019-0437-0 REVIEW Open Access Flipping the dogma – phosphatidylserine in non-apoptotic cell death Inbar Shlomovitz1, Mary Speir2,3 and Motti Gerlic1* Abstract The exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the outer plasma membrane has long been considered a unique feature of apoptotic cells. Together with other “eat me” signals, it enables the recognition and phagocytosis of dying cells (efferocytosis), helping to explain the immunologically-silent nature of apoptosis. Recently, however, PS exposure has also been reported in non-apoptotic forms of regulated inflammatory cell death, such as necroptosis, challenging previous dogma. In this review, we outline the evidence for PS exposure in non-apoptotic cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs), and discuss possible mechanisms based on our knowledge of apoptotic-PS exposure. In addition, we examine the outcomes of non-apoptotic PS exposure, including the reversibility of cell death, efferocytosis, and consequent inflammation. By examining PS biology, we challenge the established approach of distinguishing apoptosis from other cell death pathways by AnnexinV staining of PS externalization. Finally, we re- evaluate how PS exposure is thought to define apoptosis as an immunologically silent process distinct from other non-apoptotic and inflammatory cell death pathways. Ultimately, we suggest that a complete understanding of how regulated cell death processes affect the immune system is far from being fully

  • Negative Regulation of Diacylglycerol Kinase &Theta

By concerting diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) act as terminator of diacylglycerol signalling. This study investigates the role of DGK in the development of hepatocyte IP. DGK activity and cell viability were evaluated in isolated rat hepatocytes preconditioned by 10 min hypoxia followed by 10 min re-oxygenation or by the treatment with the A2aR agonist, CGS21680, and subsequently exposed to prolonged hypoxia. We observed that after IP or A2aR activation, a decrease in DGK activity was associated with the onset of hepatocyte tolerance to hypoxia. CGS21680-induced stimulation of A2aR specifically inhibited DGK isoform h by activating RhoA–GTPase. Consistently, both siRNA-mediated downregulation of DGK h and hepatocyte pretreatment with the DGK inhibitor R59949 induced cell tolerance to hypoxia. The pharmacological inhibition of DGK was associated with the diacylglycerol- dependent activation of PKC d and e and of their downstream target p38 MAPK. In conclusion, we unveil a novel signalling pathway contributing to the onset of hepatocyte preconditioning, which through RhoA–GTPase, couples A2aR to the downregulation of DGK.

The immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium, leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the complete pathophysiology of the disease is not understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach, we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsy specimens from patients with IgAN (n=19) and controls (n=22). Using curated glomerular cell type–specific genes from the published literature, we found differential expression of a much higher percentage of mesangial cell–positive standard genes than podocyte-positive standard genes in IgAN. Principal coordinate analysis of expression data revealed clear separation of patient and control samples on the basis of mesangial but not podocyte cell–positive standard genes.

    An In Vivo Screen for Genes Involved in Central Nervous System Control of Obesity Identifies Diacylglycerol Kinase as a Regulator of Insulin Secretion by Irene Trinh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto © Copyright by Irene Trinh, 2017. An In Vivo Screen for Genes Involved in Central Nervous System Control of Obesity Identifies Diacylglycerol Kinase as a Regulator of Insulin Secretion Irene Trinh Doctor of Philosophy Department of Molecular Genetics University of Toronto 2017 Abstract The increasing prevalence of obesity as well as its association with many chronic diseases has turned obesity into a major health concern worldwide. Obesity has many underlying environmental and genetic factors that disturb the balance between energy intake and energy expenditure, which is controlled by the central nervous system. The goal of my project is to help further our understanding of these CNS mechanisms by using the powerful tools available in Drosophila melanogaster to identify neuronal genes involved in energy homeostasis. Using the neuronal fru-Gal4 driver we performed an RNAi screen with 1748 genes and assayed for obese or lean phenotypes defined as increases or decreases in triacylglycerol (TAG) levels. After 3 rounds of screening I identified 25 hits that were reproducible and confirmed these phenotypes with independent RNAi lines. ii One of these hits was Diacylglycerol kinase (Dgk) whose mammalian homologues have been implicated in genome-wide association studies for metabolic defects. Manipulation of neuronal Dgk levels affects TAG and carbohydrate levels but these effects don’t seem to be mediated through Dgk’s regulation of DAG, PA levels or PKC activity.

  • Migrasome Formation Is Mediated by Assembly of Micron-Scale Tetraspanin Macrodomains
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41556-019-0367-5 Corrected: Publisher Correction Migrasome formation is mediated by assembly of micron-scale tetraspanin macrodomains Yuwei Huang1,2,6, Ben Zucker3,6, Shaojin Zhang1,2,6, Sharon Elias3, Yun Zhu4, Hui Chen5, Tianlun Ding1,2, Ying Li1,2, Yujie Sun4, Jizhong Lou5, Michael M. Kozlov 3* and Li Yu 1,2* Migrasomes are recently discovered cellular organelles that form as large vesicle-like structures on retraction fibres of migrat- ing cells. While the process of migrasome formation has been described before, the molecular mechanism underlying migra- some biogenesis remains unclear. Here, we propose that the mechanism of migrasome formation consists of the assembly of tetraspanin- and cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains into micron-scale macrodomains, which swell into migra- somes. The major finding underlying the mechanism is that tetraspanins and cholesterol are necessary and sufficient for migra- some formation. We demonstrate the necessity of tetraspanins and cholesterol via live-cell experiments, and their sufficiency by generating migrasome-like structures in reconstituted membrane systems. We substantiate the mechanism by a theoretical model proposing that the key factor driving migrasome formation is the elevated membrane stiffness of the tetraspanin- and cholesterol-enriched macrodomains. Finally, the theoretical model was quantitatively validated by experimental demonstration of the membrane-stiffening effect of tetraspanin 4 and cholesterol. igrasomes are recently discovered cellular organelles whose To study whether the TSPAN4 expression level can affect mig- formation is closely associated with cell migration. When rasome formation, we established three normal rat kidney (NRK) Mcells crawl on extracellular substrates, long membrane pro- epithelial cell lines that stably express different levels of TSPAN4 jections, referred to as retraction fibres (RFs), are pulled out of the and green fluorescent protein (GFP) (Fig.
