Sorting Nexin 5 and Dopamine 1 Receptor Regulate Insulin Signaling and Metablism in Renal Proximal Tubule Cells SORTING NEXIN 5 AND DOPAMINE 1 RECEPTOR REGULATE INSULIN SIGNALING AND METABLISM IN RENAL PROXIMAL TUBULE CELLS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physiology and Biophysics By Fengmin Li, MS Washington, DC May 2, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Fengmin Li All Rights Reserved ii SORTING NEXIN 5 AND DOPAMINE 1 RECEPTOR REGULATE INSULIN SIGNALING AND METABLISM IN RENAL PROXIMAL TUBULE CELLS Fengmin Li , MS Thesis Advisor: Pedro A. Jose, MD, PhD ABSTRACT The mechanisms that regulate the renal degradation of insulin are unknown. This dissertation research tests the overall hypothesis that in the kidney, sorting nexin 5 (SNX5) and dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) regulate insulin receptor (IR) expression and insulin signaling pathway, as well as the insulin degrading enzyme (IDE). Two parallel objectives of this dissertation research are: 1) to investigate how SNX5 and D1R regulate the IR and insulin signaling pathway; and 2) to investigate how SNX5 and D1R regulate IDE and insulin degradation. SNX5 is one of the members of the sorting nexin family, which is composed of a diverse group of proteins that mediate trafficking of various receptors. The D1R is defective in individuals with essential hypertension and diabetes. In this work, we determined the roles of D1R and SNX5 in the regulation of the IR, IDE and insulin signaling pathway in human renal proximal tubule cells (hRPTCs). We studied the expression of these proteins and their interaction in hRPTCs, by laser scanning confocal microscopy and immunoprecipitation. Insulin promoted the co-localization of SNX5 and IRβ in the perinuclear area. SNX5 and IRβ did not co- immunoprecipitate in the basal state or after treatment with insulin. In contrast, D1R and IRβ co- localized and co-immunoprecipitated, and were increased by insulin. Moreover, IDE co- immunoprecipitated with both SNX5 and D1R in the basal state and was also increased by iii insulin. To silence stably the endogenous SNX5 and D1R expression, shRNA was transfected into hRPTCs. SNX5 or D1R depletion decreased IRβ and IDE expression, as well as IDE activity. SNX5 depletion also decreased the phosphorylation of IRS1 and Akt. In conclusion, SNX5 needed to interact with D1R to regulate IRβ expression, and the downregulation of SNX5 or D1R impaired the insulin signaling pathway. Moreover, both SNX5 and D1R were involved in the degradation of insulin by increasing IDE expression and activity. This work may help explain why up to 65% of individuals with diabetes also suffer from hypertension and 25–47% of individuals with hypertension have insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS • Pedro A.

This family of proteins is unified by their characteristic phox (PX) phosphoinositides binding domain. Along with binding to membranes, this family of SNXs also comprises a diverse array of protein-protein interaction motifs that are required for cellular sorting and protein trafficking. SNXs play a role in maintaining the integrity of the proteome which is essential for regulating multiple fundamental processes such as cell cycle progression, transcription, metabolism, and stress response. To tightly regulate these processes proteins must be expressed and degraded in the correct location and at the correct time. The cell employs several proteolysis mechanisms to ensure that proteins are selectively degraded at the appropriate spatiotemporal conditions. SNXs play a role in ubiquitin-mediated protein homeostasis at multiple levels including cargo localization, recycling, degradation, and function. In this review, we will discuss the role of SNXs in three different protein homeostasis systems: endocytosis lysosomal, the ubiquitin-proteasomal, and the autophagy-lysosomal system. The highly conserved nature of this protein family by beginning with the early research on SNXs and protein trafficking in yeast and lead into their important roles in mammalian systems.

Moore1 & Philip Stanier1* Mutations in the SNX14 gene cause spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 20 (SCAR20) in both humans and dogs. Studies implicating the phenotypic consequences of SNX14 mutations to be consequences of subcellular disruption to autophagy and lipid metabolism have been limited to in vitro investigation of patient‑derived dermal fbroblasts, laboratory engineered cell lines and developmental analysis of zebrafsh morphants. SNX14 homologues Snz (Drosophila) and Mdm1 (yeast) have also been conducted, demonstrated an important biochemical role during lipid biogenesis. In this study we report the efect of loss of SNX14 in mice, which resulted in embryonic lethality around mid‑gestation due to placental pathology that involves severe disruption to syncytiotrophoblast cell diferentiation. In contrast to other vertebrates, zebrafsh carrying a homozygous, maternal zygotic snx14 genetic loss‑of‑function mutation were both viable and anatomically normal. Whilst no obvious behavioural efects were observed, elevated levels of neutral lipids and phospholipids resemble previously reported efects on lipid homeostasis in other species. The biochemical role of SNX14 therefore appears largely conserved through evolution while the consequences of loss of function varies between species.

However, the precise mechanisms underlying the trafficking of neurotrophin receptors to synapses remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a brain-enriched sorting nexin, ARHGAP33, is a new type of regulator for the intracellular trafficking of TrkB, a high-affinity receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor. ARHGAP33 knockout (KO) mice exhibit reduced expression of synaptic TrkB, impaired spine development and neuropsychiatric disorder-related behavioural abnormalities. These deficits are rescued by specific pharmacological enhancement of TrkB signalling in ARHGAP33 KO mice. Mechanistically, ARHGAP33 interacts with SORT1 to cooperatively regulate TrkB trafficking. Human ARHGAP33 is associated with brain pheno- types and reduced SORT1 expression is found in patients with schizophrenia. We propose that ARHGAP33/SORT1-mediated TrkB trafficking is essential for synapse development and that the dysfunction of this mechanism may be a new molecular pathology of neuropsychiatric disorders. 1 Department of Neurophysiology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan.

  • Spatial and Temporal Aspects of Signalling 6 1
    r r r Cell Signalling Biology Michael J. Berridge Module 6 Spatial and Temporal Aspects of Signalling 6 1 Module 6 Spatial and Temporal Aspects of Signalling Synopsis The function and efficiency of cell signalling pathways are very dependent on their organization both in space and time. With regard to spatial organization, signalling components are highly organized with respect to their cellular location and how they transmit information from one region of the cell to another. This spatial organization of signalling pathways depends on the molecular interactions that occur between signalling components that use signal transduction domains to construct signalling pathways. Very often, the components responsible for information transfer mechanisms are held in place by being attached to scaffolding proteins to form macromolecular signalling complexes. Sometimes these macromolecular complexes can be organized further by being localized to specific regions of the cell, as found in lipid rafts and caveolae or in the T-tubule regions of skeletal and cardiac cells. Another feature of the spatial aspects concerns the local Another important temporal aspect is timing and signal and global aspects of signalling. The spatial organization of integration, which relates to the way in which functional signalling molecules mentioned above can lead to highly interactions between signalling pathways are determined localized signalling events, but when the signalling mo- by both the order and the timing of their presentations. lecules are more evenly distributed, signals can spread The organization of signalling systems in both time and more globally throughout the cell. In addition, signals space greatly enhances both their efficiency and versatility.

  • SNX13 Reduction Mediates Heart Failure Through Degradative Sorting of Apoptosis Repressor with Caspase Recruitment Domain
    ARTICLE Received 2 May 2014 | Accepted 8 Sep 2014 | Published 8 Oct 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6177 SNX13 reduction mediates heart failure through degradative sorting of apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain Jun Li1,2,*, Changming Li1,3,*, Dasheng Zhang1,2, Dan Shi1,2, Man Qi1,3, Jing Feng1,3, Tianyou Yuan1,2, Xinran Xu1,2, Dandan Liang1,2, Liang Xu1,2, Hong Zhang1,2, Yi Liu1,2, Jinjin Chen1,3, Jiangchuan Ye1,3, Weifang Jiang4, Yingyu Cui1,5, Yangyang Zhang6, Luying Peng1,2,5, Zhaonian Zhou1,7 & Yi-Han Chen1,2,3,5 Heart failure (HF) is associated with complicated molecular remodelling within cardio- myocytes; however, the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Here we show that sorting nexin-13 (SNX13), a member of both the sorting nexin and the regulator of G protein signalling (RGS) protein families, is a potent mediator of HF. Decreased levels of SNX13 are observed in failing hearts of humans and of experimental animals. SNX13-deficient zebrafish recapitulate HF with striking cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mechanistically, a reduction in SNX13 expression facilitates the degradative sorting of apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC), which is a multifunctional inhibitor of apoptosis. Consequently, the apoptotic pathway is activated, resulting in the loss of cardiac cells and the dampening of cardiac function. The N-terminal PXA structure of SNX13 is responsible for mediating the endosomal trafficking of ARC. Thus, this study reveals that SNX13 profoundly affects cardiac performance through the SNX13-PXA-ARC-caspase signalling pathway. 1 Key Laboratory of Arrhythmias of the Ministry of Education of China, East Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200120, China.

Collins1 1234567890():,; Phox homology (PX) domains are membrane interacting domains that bind to phosphati- dylinositol phospholipids or phosphoinositides, markers of organelle identity in the endocytic system. Although many PX domains bind the canonical endosome-enriched lipid PtdIns3P, others interact with alternative phosphoinositides, and a precise understanding of how these specificities arise has remained elusive. Here we systematically screen all human PX domains for their phospholipid preferences using liposome binding assays, biolayer interferometry and isothermal titration calorimetry. These analyses define four distinct classes of human PX domains that either bind specifically to PtdIns3P, non-specifically to various di- and tri- phosphorylated phosphoinositides, bind both PtdIns3P and other phosphoinositides, or associate with none of the lipids tested. A comprehensive evaluation of PX domain structures reveals two distinct binding sites that explain these specificities, providing a basis for defining and predicting the functional membrane interactions of the entire PX domain protein family. 1 Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, QLD 4072, Australia. 2 Department of Cell Biology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA. 3 Centre for Advanced Imaging and School of Chemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Queensland, St.
