Elias,‡ and Mark M. Davis†,x,{ T cell activation in response to Ag is largely regulated by protein posttranslational modifications. Although phosphorylation has been extensively characterized in T cells, much less is known about the glycosylation of serine/threonine residues by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc). Given that O-GlcNAc appears to regulate cell signaling pathways and protein activity similarly to phosphorylation, we performed a comprehensive analysis of O-GlcNAc during T cell activation to address the functional impor- tance of this modification and to identify the modified proteins. Activation of T cells through the TCR resulted in a global elevation of O-GlcNAc levels and in the absence of O-GlcNAc, IL-2 production and proliferation were compromised. T cell activation also led to changes in the relative expression of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) isoforms and accumulation of OGT at the immunological synapse of murine T cells. Using a glycoproteomics approach, we identified >200 O-GlcNAcproteinsinhumanTcells.Manyofthe identified proteins had a functional relationship to RNA metabolism, and consistent with a connection between O-GlcNAc and Downloaded from RNA, inhibition of OGT impaired nascent RNA synthesis upon T cell activation.

  • Increased O-Glcnacylation Rapidly Decreases GABAAR Currents in Hippocampus but Depresses Neuronal Output L
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Increased O-GlcNAcylation rapidly decreases GABAAR currents in hippocampus but depresses neuronal output L. T. Stewart1,3, K. Abiraman1,3, J. C. Chatham2 & L. L. McMahon1 ✉ O-GlcNAcylation, a post-translational modifcation involving O-linkage of β-N-acetylglucosamine to Ser/Thr residues on target proteins, is increasingly recognized as a critical regulator of synaptic function. Enzymes that catalyze O-GlcNAcylation are found at both presynaptic and postsynaptic sites, and O-GlcNAcylated proteins localize to synaptosomes. An acute increase in O-GlcNAcylation can afect neuronal communication by inducing long-term depression (LTD) of excitatory transmission at hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses, as well as suppressing hyperexcitable circuits in vitro and in vivo. Despite these fndings, to date, no studies have directly examined how O-GlcNAcylation modulates the efcacy of inhibitory neurotransmission. Here we show an acute increase in O-GlcNAc dampens GABAergic currents onto principal cells in rodent hippocampus likely through a postsynaptic mechanism, and has a variable efect on the excitation/inhibition balance. The overall efect of increased O-GlcNAc is reduced synaptically-driven spike probability via synaptic depression and decreased intrinsic excitability. Our results position O-GlcNAcylation as a novel regulator of the overall excitation/inhibition balance and neuronal output. Synaptic integration and spike initiation in neurons is controlled by synaptic inhibition, which strongly infu- ences neuronal output and information processing1. Importantly, the balance of excitation to inhibition (E/I) is crucial to the proper functioning of circuits, and E/I imbalances have been implicated in a number of neurode- velopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease2–5.

  • Identification and Dynamics of the Human ZDHHC16-ZDHHC6 Palmitoylation Cascade

Knowledge about the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family is still limited. Here we show that human ZDHHC6, which modifies key proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum, is controlled by an upstream palmitoyltransferase, ZDHHC16, revealing the first palmitoylation cascade. The combination of site specific mutagenesis of the three ZDHHC6 palmitoylation sites, experimental determination of kinetic parameters and data-driven mathematical modelling allowed us to obtain detailed information on the eight differentially palmitoylated ZDHHC6 species. We found that species rapidly interconvert through the action of ZDHHC16 and the Acyl Protein Thioesterase APT2, that each species varies in terms of turnover rate and activity, altogether allowing the cell to robustly *For correspondence: tune its ZDHHC6 activity.

    371 REVIEW G-protein-coupled receptors, cholesterol and palmitoylation: facts about fats Bice Chini and Marco Parenti1 Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology Section, CNR Institute of Neuroscience, Via Vanvitelli 32, 20129 Milan, Italy 1Department of Experimental Medicine, University of Milano-Bicocca, Monza, Italy (Correspondence should be addressed to B Chini; Email: [email protected]) Abstract G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins, hence it is not surprising that a number of their structural and functional features are modulated by both proteins and lipids. The impact of interacting proteins and lipids on the assembly and signalling of GPCRs has been extensively investigated over the last 20–30 years, and a further impetus has been given by the proposal that GPCRs and/or their immediate signalling partners (G proteins) can partition within plasma membrane domains, termed rafts and caveolae, enriched in glycosphingolipids and cholesterol. The high content of these specific lipids, in particular of cholesterol, in the vicinity of GPCR transmembranes can affect GPCR structure and/or function. In addition, most GPCRs are post-translationally modified with one or more palmitic acid(s), a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid, covalently bound to cysteine(s) localised in the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic tail. The insertion of palmitate into the cytoplasmic leaflet of the plasma membrane can create a fourth loop, thus profoundly affecting GPCR structure and hence the interactions with intracellular partner proteins. This review briefly highlights how lipids of the membrane and the receptor themselves can influence GPCR organisation and functioning.

In the present studY, we have unraveled a potential link between AA and macrophage functions. Methods: AA-triggered signal transduction was studied in primary monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) by phosphoproteomics, transcriptional profiling, measurement of intracellular Ca2+ accumulation and reactive oxygen species production in conjunction with bioinformatic analyses. Functional effects were investigated by actin filament staining, quantification of macropinocytosis and analysis of extracellular vesicle release.

  • Ubiquitin-Dependent Folding of the Wnt Signaling Coreceptor LRP6
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Ubiquitin-dependent folding of the Wnt signaling coreceptor LRP6 Elsa Perrody1†, Laurence Abrami1†, Michal Feldman1, Beatrice Kunz1, Sylvie Urbe´ 2, F Gisou van der Goot1* 1Global Health Institute, Ecole Polytechnique Fe´de´rale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland; 2Institute of Translational Medicine, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Abstract Many membrane proteins fold inefficiently and require the help of enzymes and chaperones. Here we reveal a novel folding assistance system that operates on membrane proteins from the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We show that folding of the Wnt signaling coreceptor LRP6 is promoted by ubiquitination of a specific lysine, retaining it in the ER while avoiding degradation. Subsequent ER exit requires removal of ubiquitin from this lysine by the deubiquitinating enzyme USP19. This ubiquitination-deubiquitination is conceptually reminiscent of the glucosylation-deglucosylation occurring in the ER lumen during the calnexin/ calreticulin folding cycle. To avoid infinite futile cycles, folded LRP6 molecules undergo palmitoylation and ER export, while unsuccessfully folded proteins are, with time, polyubiquitinated on other lysines and targeted to degradation. This ubiquitin-dependent folding system also controls the proteostasis of other membrane proteins as CFTR and anthrax toxin receptor 2, two poor folders involved in severe human diseases.

Bioinformatics analysis pre- RNA samples isolated from jejunum, ileum and colon dicted that these metabolites may play a role in the scrapings of the eight pigs per group using Affymetrix crosstalk between intestinal immune cells and sub-mucosal porcine microarrays.
