AbstractThe glucocorticoid receptor (GR), like many signaling proteins requires Hsp90 for sustained activity. Previous biochemical studies revealed that the requirement for Hsp90 is explained by its ability to reverse Hsp70-mediated inactivation of GR through a complex process requiring both cochaperones and Hsp90 ATP hydrolysis. How ATP hydrolysis on Hsp90 enables GR reactivation is unknown. The canonical mechanism of client release from Hsp70 requires ADP:ATP exchange, which is normally rate limiting. Here we show that independent of ATP hydrolysis, Hsp90 acts as an Hsp70 nucleotide exchange factor (NEF) to accelerate ADP dissociation, likely coordinating GR transfer from Hsp70 to Hsp90. As Bag-1 is a canonical Hsp70 NEF that can also reactivate Hsp70:GR, the impact of these two NEFs was compared. Simple acceleration of Hsp70:GR release was insufficient for GR reactivation as Hsp70 rapidly re-binds and re-inactivates GR. Instead, inhibition of GR re-inactivation by Hsp70 is critical. This can be accomplished by high non-physiological Bag-1 concentrations, which also inhibit Hsp70:ATP binding. In contrast, in an ATP-hydrolysis dependent process, Hsp90 plays a unique role by kinetically partitioning GR into a state that can bind ligand, but is protected from Hsp70 inactivation, thus allowing GR to be activated by its ligand but still able to re-enter the chaperone cycle. At physiologic concentrations, Bag-1 works synergistically with Hsp90 to accelerate the first rate-limiting step in GR reactivation. The net effect is that the chaperone machinery cyclically dictates the on and off rates for GR ligand, providing a timer controlling the persistence of activated GR.Significance StatementThe glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is an essential transcription regulatory factor. Like many signaling proteins, GR activity is regulated by two essential molecular chaperones: Hsp90 and Hsp70. Functioning like a toggle switch, Hsp70 first inactivates GR, and then Hsp90 reactivates GR in an Hsp90 ATP hydrolysis dependent manner. Here, an intricate set of biochemistry experiments uncover fundamental principles governing how these chaperone systems collaboratively regulate GR activity. While Hsp90 promotes GR release from Hsp70 by modulating Hsp70’s nucleotide state, this occurs independently of Hsp90 ATP hydrolysis. Instead, ATP hydrolysis on Hsp90 facilitates a second essential reactivation step resulting in an Hsp90-bound GR state that protects GR from Hsp70 re-inactivation. A kinetic partitioning model best describes chaperone modulation of GR’s activity.

The Impact

The integrity of the Golgi and trans-Golgi network (TGN) is disrupted by brefeldin A (BFA), which inhibits the Golgi-localized BFA-sensitive factor (GBF1) and brefeldin A–inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange factors (BIG1 and BIG2). Using a cellular replacement assay to assess GBF1 functionality without interference from the BIGs, we show that GBF1 alone maintains Golgi architecture; facilitates secretion; activates ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)1, 3, 4, and 5; and recruits ARF effectors to Golgi membranes. Unexpectedly, GBF1 also supports TGN integrity and recruits numerous TGN-localized ARF effectors. The impact of the catalytic Sec7 domain (Sec7d) on GBF1 functionality was assessed by swapping it with the Sec7d from ARF nucleotide-binding site opener (ARNO)/cytohesin-2, a plasma membrane GEF reported to activate all ARFs. The resulting chimera (GBF1-ARNO-GBF1 [GARG]) targets like GBF1, supports Golgi/TGN architecture, and facilitates secretion. However, unlike GBF1, GARG activates all ARFs (including ARF6) at the Golgi/TGN and recruits additional ARF effectors to the Golgi/TGN. Our results have general implications: 1) GEF’s targeting is independent of Sec7d, but Sec7d influence the GEF substrate specificity and downstream effector events; 2) all ARFs have access to all membranes, but are restricted in their distribution by the localization of their activating GEFs; and 3) effector association with membranes requires the coincidental presence of activated ARFs and specific membrane identifiers.

ObjectiveThe mechanisms underlying the association between diabetes and inner ear dysfunction are not known yet. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of obesity/insulin resistance on inner ear fluid homeostasis in vivo, and to investigate whether the organ of Corti could be a target tissue for insulin signaling using auditory House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells as an in vitro model.MethodsHigh fat diet (HFD) fed C57BL/6J mice were used as a model to study the impact of insulin resistance on the inner ear. In one study, 12 C57BL/6J mice were fed either control diet or HFD and the size of the inner ear endolymphatic fluid compartment (EFC) was measured after 30 days using MRI and gadolinium contrast as a read-out. In another study, the size of the inner ear EFC was evaluated in eight C57BL/6J mice both before and after HFD feeding, with the same techniques. HEI-OC1 auditory cells were used as a model to investigate insulin signaling in organ of Corti cells.ResultsHFD feeding induced an expansion of the EFC in C57BL/6J mice, a hallmark of inner ear dysfunction. Insulin also induced phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) at Ser473, in a PI3-kinase-dependent manner. The phosphorylation of PKB was inhibited by isoproterenol and IBMX, a general phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. PDE1B, PDE4D and the insulin-sensitive PDE3B were found expressed and catalytically active in HEI-OC1 cells. Insulin decreased and AICAR, an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase, increased the phosphorylation at the inhibitory Ser79 of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo lipogenesis. Furthermore, the activity of hormone-sensitive lipase, the rate-limiting enzyme in lipolysis, was detected in HEI-OC1 cells.ConclusionsThe organ of Corti could be a target tissue for insulin action, and inner ear insulin resistance might contribute to the association between diabetes and inner ear dysfunction.

The involvement of clathrin and associated adaptor proteins in receptor recycling from endosomes back to the plasma membrane is controversial. We have used an in vitro assay to identify the molecular requirements for the formation of recycling vesicles. Cells expressing the asialoglycoprotein receptor H1, a typical recycling receptor, were surface biotinylated and then allowed to endocytose for 10 min. After stripping away surface-biotin, the cells were permeabilized and the cytosol washed away. In a temperature-, cytosol-, and nucleotide-dependent manner, the formation of sealed vesicles containing biotinylated H1 could be reconstituted. Vesicle formation was strongly inhibited upon immunodepletion of adaptor protein (AP)-1, but not of AP-2 or AP-3, from the cytosol, and was restored by readdition of purified AP-1. Vesicle formation was stimulated by supplemented clathrin, but inhibited by brefeldin A, consistent with the involvement of ARF1 and a brefeldin-sensitive guanine nucleotide exchange factor. The GTPase rab4, but not rab5, was required to generate endosome-derived vesicles. Depletion of rabaptin-5/rabex-5, a known interactor of both rab4 and γ-adaptin, stimulated and addition of the purified protein strongly inhibited vesicle production. The results indicate that recycling is mediated by AP-1/clathrin-coated vesicles and regulated by rab4 and rabaptin-5/rabex-5.

EHDs [EH (Eps15 homology)-domain-containing proteins] participate in different stages of endocytosis. EHD2 is a plasma-membrane-associated EHD which regulates trafficking from the plasma membrane and recycling. EHD2 has a role in nucleotide-dependent membrane remodelling and its ATP-binding domain is involved in dimerization, which creates a membrane-binding region. Nucleotide binding is important for association of EHD2 with the plasma membrane, since a nucleotide-free mutant (EHD2 T72A) failed to associate. To elucidate the possible function of EHD2 during endocytic trafficking, we attempted to unravel proteins that interact with EHD2, using the yeast two-hybrid system. A novel interaction was found between EHD2 and Nek3 [NIMA (never in mitosis in Aspergillus nidulans)-related kinase 3], a serine/threonine kinase. EHD2 was also found in association with Vav1, a Nek3-regulated GEF (guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor) for Rho GTPases. Since Vav1 regulates Rac1 activity and promotes actin polymerization, the impact of overexpression of EHD2 on Rac1 activity was tested. The results indicated that wt (wild-type) EHD2, but not its P-loop mutants, reduced Rac1 activity. The inhibitory effect of EHD2 overexpression was partially rescued by co-expression of Rac1 as measured using a cholera toxin trafficking assay. The results of the present study strongly indicate that EHD2 regulates trafficking from the plasma membrane by controlling Rac1 activity.

PLC∊ (phospholipase C∊) is a novel PLC that has a CDC25 guanine nucleotide exchange factor domain and two RA (Ras-association) domains of which the second (RA2) is critical for Ras activation of the enzyme. In the present studies, we examined hormonal stimulation to elucidate receptor-mediated pathways that functionally regulate PLC∊. We demonstrate that EGF (epidermal growth factor), a receptor tyrosine kinase agonist, and LPA (lysophosphatidic acid), S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate) and thrombin, GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptor) agonists, stimulate PLC∊ overexpressed in COS-7 cells. EGF stimulated PLC∊ in an RA2-dependent manner through Ras and Rap. In contrast, LPA, S1P and thrombin stimulated PLC∊ by both RA2-independent and -dependent mechanisms. To determine the G-proteins that mediate the effects of these GPCR agonists, we co-expressed constitutively active G-proteins with PLC∊ and found that Gα12, Gα13, Rho, Rac and Ral stimulate PLC∊ in an RA2-independent manner; whereas TC21, Rap1A, Rap2A and Rap2B stimulate PLC∊ in an RA2-dependent manner similar to H-Ras. Of these G-proteins, we show that Gα12/Gα13 and Rap partly mediate the effects of LPA, S1P and thrombin to stimulate PLC∊. In addition, the stimulation by LPA and S1P is also partly sensitive to pertussis toxin. These studies demonstrate diverse hormonal regulation of PLC∊ by distinct and overlapping pathways.

Rho1p is an essential small GTPase that plays a key role in the morphogenesis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show here that the activation of Rho1p is regulated by a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK). Rho1p is activated at the G1/S transition at the incipient-bud sites by the Cln2p (G1 cyclin) and Cdc28p (CDK) complex, in a process mediated by Tus1p, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rho1p. Tus1p interacts physically with Cln2p/Cdc28p and is phosphorylated in a Cln2p/Cdc28p-dependent manner. CDK phosphorylation consensus sites in Tus1p are required for both Cln2p-dependent activation of Rho1p and polarized organization of the actin cytoskeleton. We propose that Cln2p/Cdc28p-dependent phosphorylation of Tus1p is required for appropriate temporal and spatial activation of Rho1p at the G1/S transition.

Epigenetic variation reflects the impact of a dynamic environment on chromatin. However, it remains elusive how environmental factors influence epigenetic events. Here, we show that G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) alter H3K4 methylation via oscillatory intracellular cAMP. Activation of Gs-coupled receptors caused a rapid decrease of H3K4me3 by elevating cAMP, whereas stimulation of Gi-coupled receptors increased H3K4me3 by diminishing cAMP. H3K4me3 gradually recovered towards baseline levels after the removal of GPCR ligands, indicating that H3K4me3 oscillates in tandem with GPCR activation. cAMP increased intracellular labile Fe(II), the cofactor for histone demethylases, through a non-canonical cAMP target—Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor-2 (RapGEF2), which subsequently enhanced endosome acidification and Fe(II) release from the endosome via vacuolar H+-ATPase assembly. Removing Fe(III) from the media blocked intracellular Fe(II) elevation after stimulation of Gs-coupled receptors. Iron chelators and inhibition of KDM5 demethylases abolished cAMP-mediated H3K4me3 demethylation. Taken together, these results suggest a novel function of cAMP signaling in modulating histone demethylation through labile Fe(II).

ABSTRACT Lfc is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rho that demonstrates an unusual ability to associate with microtubules. While several phosphorylated residues have been detected in the Lfc polypeptide, the mechanism(s) by which phosphorylation regulates the exchange activity of Lfc remains unclear. We confirm that Lfc is a phosphorylated protein and demonstrate that 14-3-3 interacts directly and in a phosphorylation-dependent manner with Lfc. We identify AKAP121 as an Lfc-binding protein and show that Lfc is phosphorylated in an AKAP-dependent manner by protein kinase A (PKA). Forskolin treatment induced 14-3-3 binding to Lfc and suppressed the exchange activity of wild-type Lfc on RhoA. Importantly, a mutant of Lfc that is unable to associate with 14-3-3 proteins was resistant to inhibition by forskolin. Tctex-1, a dynein motor light chain, binds to Lfc in a competitive manner with 14-3-3.

Arf6/ARF-6 is a crucial regulator of the endosomal phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) pool in endocytic recycling. To further characterize ARF-6 regulation, we performed an ARF-6 interactor screen in Caenorhabditis elegans and identified SAC-1, the homologue of the phosphoinositide phosphatase Sac1p in yeast, as a novel ARF-6 partner. In the absence of ARF-6, basolateral endosomes show a loss of SAC-1 staining in epithelial cells. Steady-state cargo distribution assays revealed that loss of SAC-1 specifically affected apical secretory delivery and basolateral recycling. PI(4,5)P2 levels and the endosomal labeling of the ARF-6 effector UNC-16 were significantly elevated in sac-1 mutants, suggesting that SAC-1 functions as a negative regulator of ARF-6. Further analyses revealed an interaction between SAC-1 and the ARF-6-GEF BRIS-1. This interaction outcompeted ARF-6(guanosine diphosphate [GDP]) for binding to BRIS-1 in a concentration-dependent manner. Consequently, loss of SAC-1 promotes the intracellular overlap between ARF-6 and BRIS-1. BRIS-1 knockdown resulted in a significant reduction in PI(4,5)P2 levels in SAC-1-depleted cells. Interestingly, the action of SAC-1 in sequestering BRIS-1 is independent of SAC-1’s catalytic activity. Our results suggest that the interaction of SAC-1 with ARF-6 curbs ARF-6 activity by limiting the access of ARF-6(GDP) to its guanine nucleotide exchange factor, BRIS-1.
