PLOS ONE | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0133141 July 17, 2015 1/15 Cholesterol Interaction with MPP1 Competing Interests: The authors have declared Occurrence of the CRAC motif within the transmembrane segment of a protein increases that no competing interests exist. the reliability of prediction of cholesterol interaction with such a protein. The CRAC motif can also be present in proteins that are not integrated with a biomembrane. A good example of this is cytolethal-, distending toxin C of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (CdtC). This protein contains a CRAC sequence motif, LIDYKGK, which is exposed at the surface of the protein and binds to liposomes containing cholesterol. Mutation of the Y residue to P results in reduced binding to cholesterol-containing membranes and to target cells, which reduces its toxicity [4]. CRAC motifs have also been found on the surface of viral proteins. HIV-1 fusion protein gp41 contains a CRAC motif, which is localized to the extracellular surface of the mem- brane, adjacent to the transmembrane segment of this protein. It has been suggested that this protein is important for membrane fusion [5–6]. Depletion of cholesterol from infected cell membranes reduces virus release, and released HIV virions show minimal infectivity [7]. HIV- 1 is known to enter the cell through binding to the CD4 receptor [8], which is associated with a cholesterol-rich raft region [9–10]. This raises the possibility that the CRAC motif in the gp41 protein interacts with the cholesterol in the host cell-membrane. Protein interaction with cho- lesterol via the CRAC motif was also demonstrated for human type-1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R). Point mutation in the CRAC lysine residue K402G resulted in the receptor becoming insensitive to membrane cholesterol [11]. Apart from CRAC, another motif with a very similar sequence, termed CARC or CRAC- like motif, has been proposed [12]. It is sometimes referred to as an “inverted CRAC”. Reverse orientation is not the only feature which distinguishes it from CRAC. Another difference is that a central residue can be either Y or F. Docking studies demonstrated a favorable fit of cho- lesterol to both Y and F containing motifs [12]. Also, in biochemical studies, substitution of the Y residue with an F did not abolish the redistribution of cholesterol [13]. Membrane Palmitoylated Protein 1 (MPP1) is a member of the membrane-associated gua- nylate kinase homologues (MAGUK) protein family. Proteins of this family share similar domains, such as a PDZ domain, SH3 (src-homology-3) motif and a GUK domain (domain homologous to guanylate kinases) [14–16]. It was originally identified as a membrane skeletal protein in erythrocytes, where it stabilizes the spectrin-actin skeleton by interacting with glyco- phorin C and protein 4.1R [17–19]. MPP1 is a major target of palmitoylation in red blood cells. Lack of protein acyltransferase (PAT) activity in these cells causes changes in lateral membrane organization, which is, as we suggest, an impairment of resting-state raft formation. This was revealed by several methods [20]. Moreover, silencing of MPP1 gene expression in human ery- throleukemia (HEL) cells results in similar changes in membrane lateral organization [21]. Since cholesterol is a major component of raft domains, the mechanism of their formation could include interaction between MPP1 protein and cholesterol. However, no interaction of cholesterol with human MPP1 protein has been demonstrated to date. Here we present an in silico analysis of cholesterol interaction with MPP1 protein. The results obtained show that there is a possibility of such an interaction. These results provide a new insight on at least one possible molecular mechanism of resting-state raft formation and function of MPP1. Materials and Methods Identification of CRAC and CRAC-like motifs The sequence of MPP1 was obtained in FASTA format from UniProt (http://www.uniprot.org/ ). A search for CRAC and CRAC-like motifs was then performed with EMBROSS: fuzzpro (http://emboss.bioinformatics.nl/cgi-bin/emboss/fuzzpro). Sequences given as a search pattern PLOS ONE | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0133141 July 17, 2015 2/15 Cholesterol Interaction with MPP1 were: [LV]-X(1,5)-Y-X(1,5)-[RK], [RK]-X(1,5)-Y-X(1,5)-[LV], [LV]-X(1,5)-F-X(1,5)-[RK], [RK]-X(1,5)-F-X(1,5)-[LV] [1,12]. Experimental structures For searching existing experimental structures (obtained either by NMR or X-Ray diffraction), The Protein Model Portal (http://www.proteinmodelportal.org/) was used. The complete sequence of human MPP1 protein was entered as a query. Three experimentally validated par- tial-structures of MPP1 protein were obtained and downloaded from Protein Data Bank (http://www.rcsb.org), Namely, the PDZ domain [2ev8] [22], the PDZ domain complexed with glycophorin C [2ejy] [23] and the GUK domain [3ney] were used. The sequence range of these results were then compared with CRAC and CRAC-like motifs in the primary structure of the MPP1 protein. If the sequence range of experimental structures contained cholesterol-binding motifs, these structures were chosen for further processing. Building the full model structure Since there was no single complete protein structure of MPP1 published, to build a full model structure, CASP7, 8, 9 and 10 winning web server, I-TASSER was chosen to assemble a com- plete structural model of MPP1 [24–26]. The full amino-acid sequence of MPP1, obtained from Uniprot (http://www.uniprot.org/), was given as a query. The web server operated at its default setting, that is, no specification of templates was given. Also, no assignment of contact or distance restraints was given. The server was also set to not exclude any homologous or spe- cific templates. In brief, the templates selected by the server corresponded to the three main domains of MPP1, ie. PDZ, SH3 and GUK, as well as the inter-domain regions. Since the full structure of MPP1 remains unknown, the top template which was selected by the server was one for another MAGUK family member, PSD-95, whose structure has been fully resolved. To validate the correctness of the server selection, known fragments of MPP1 (PDZ and GUK domains) were compared to those of PSD-95 by the TM-align online tool [27] and were found to be structurally similar (TM-score 0,72 and 0,76 respectively).

The ubiquitous expression and multidomain structure of MPPs provide the ability to form diverse protein complexes at the cell membranes, which are involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including establishing the proper cell structure, polarity and cell adhesion. The formation of MPP-dependent complexes in various cell types seems to be based on similar principles, but involves members of different protein groups, such as 4.1-ezrin-radixin-moesin (FERM) domain-containing proteins, polarity proteins or other MAGUKs, showing their multifaceted nature. In this review, we discuss the function of the MPP family in the formation of multiple protein complexes. Notably, we depict their significant role for cell physiology, as the loss of interactions between proteins involved in the complex has a variety of negative consequences.

  • MPP1-Based Mechanism of Resting State Raft Organization in the Plasma Membrane. Is It a General Or Specialized Mechanism in Erythroid Cells?
    FOLIA HISTOCHEMICA REVIEW ET CYTOBIOLOGICA Vol. 57, No. 2, 2019 pp. 43–55 MPP1-based mechanism of resting state raft organization in the plasma membrane. Is it a general or specialized mechanism in erythroid cells? Magdalena Trybus, Lukasz Niemiec, Agnieszka Biernatowska, Anita Hryniewicz-Jankowska, Aleksander F. Sikorski Department of Cytobiochemistry, Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Wroclaw Abstract Biological membranes are organized in various microdomains, one of the best known being called membrane rafts. The major function of these is thought to organize signaling partners into functional complexes. An im- portant protein found in membrane raft microdomains of erythroid and other blood cells is MPP1 (membrane palmitoylated protein 1)/p55. MPP1 (p55) belongs to the MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylate kinase homolog) family and it is a major target of palmitoylation in the red blood cells (RBCs) membrane. The well- known function of this protein is to participate in formation of the junctional complex of the erythrocyte mem- brane skeleton. However, its function as a “raft organizer” is not well understood. In this review we focus on recent reports concerning MPP1 participation in membrane rafts organization in erythroid cells, including its role in signal transduction. Currently it is not known whether MPP1 could have a similar role in cell types other than erythroid lineage. We present also preliminary data regarding the expression level of MPP1 gene in several non-erythroid cell lines. (Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica 2019, Vol. 57, No. 2, 43–55) Key words: membrane palmitoylated protein 1 (MPP1); resting state rafts; lateral membrane organization; raft-associated proteins Introduction maintaining erythrocyte membrane mechanical properties plays membrane skeleton, whose structure The red cell membrane comprises a lipid bilayer and function have been a subject of many studies and with integral membrane proteins embedded in it and reviews [1–3].

We report a comparative analysis of TS vs. KS in female mammals; as such, most genes on the inactivated X regarding differences at the genomic network level measured in chromosome are silenced and inactive (hereinafter referred to as primary samples by analyzing gene expression, DNA methylation, inactive genes). However, some genes escape XCI (hereinafter and chromatin conformation. X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) referred to as escape genes) and have also been hypothesized to silences transcription from one X chromosome in female mammals, contribute to the phenotypes of SCAs (6, 7).

  • Structure and Function of the Guanylate Kinase-Like Domain of the MAGUK Family Scaffold Proteins
    Front. Biol. 2012, 7(5): 379–396 DOI 10.1007/s11515-012-1244-9 REVIEW Structure and function of the guanylate kinase-like domain of the MAGUK family scaffold proteins Jinwei ZHU1, Yuan SHANG1, Jia CHEN1, Mingjie ZHANG (✉)1,2 1 Division of Life Science, State Key Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China 2 Institute for Advanced Study, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China © Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012 Abstract Membrane associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) are a family of scaffold proteins that play essential roles in organ development, cell-cell communication, cell polarity establishment and maintenance, and cellular signal transduction. Every member of the MAGUK family contains a guanylate kinase-like (GK) domain, which has evolved from the enzyme catalyzing GMP to GDP conversion to become a protein–protein interaction module with no enzymatic activity. Mutations of MAGUKs are linked to a number of human diseases, including autism and hereditary deafness. In this review, we summarize the structural basis governing cellular function of various members of the MAGUKs. In particular, we focus on recent discoveries of MAGUK GKs as specific phospho-protein interaction modules, and discuss functional implications and connections to human diseases of such regulated MAGUK GK/target interactions.
