The recent identification of plasma membrane (Ca2+)-ATPase (PMCA)-Neuroplastin (Np) complexes has renewed attention on cell regulation of cytosolic calcium extrusion, which is of particular relevance in neurons. Here, we tested the hypothesis that PMCA-Neuroplastin complexes exist in specific ganglioside-containing rafts, which could affect calcium homeostasis. We analyzed the abundance of all four PMCA paralogs (PMCA1-4) and Neuroplastin isoforms (Np65 and Np55) in lipid rafts and bulk membrane fractions from GM2/GD2 synthase-deficient mouse brains. In these fractions, we found altered distribution of Np65/Np55 and selected PMCA isoforms, namely PMCA1 and 2. Cell surface staining and confocal microscopy identified GM1 as the main complex ganglioside co-localizing with Neuroplastin in cultured hippocampal neurons. Furthermore, blocking GM1 with a specific antibody resulted in delayed calcium restoration of electrically evoked calcium transients in the soma of hippocampal neurons. The content and composition of all ganglioside species were unchanged in Neuroplastin-deficient mouse brains. Therefore, we conclude that altered composition or disorganization of ganglioside-containing rafts results in changed regulation of calcium signals in neurons. We propose that GM1 could be a key sphingolipid for ensuring proper location of the PMCA-Neuroplastin complexes into rafts in order to participate in the regulation of neuronal calcium homeostasis.

Lipid rafts are a primary target in studies of amyloid β (Aβ) cytotoxicity in neurons. Exogenous Aβ peptides bind to lipid rafts, which in turn play a key role in Aβ uptake, leading to the formation of neurotoxic intracellular Aβ aggregates. On the other hand, dysregulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis in neurons has been observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In a previous work, we showed that Aβ(1–42), the prevalent Aβ peptide found in the amyloid plaques of AD patients, binds with high affinity to purified calmodulin (CaM), with a dissociation constant ≈1 nM. In this work, to experimentally assess the Aβ(1–42) binding capacity to intracellular CaM, we used primary cultures of mature cerebellar granule neurons (CGN) as a neuronal model. Our results showed a large complexation of submicromolar concentrations of Aβ(1–42) dimers by CaM in CGN, up to 120 ± 13 picomoles of Aβ(1–42) /2.5 × 106 cells. Using fluorescence microscopy imaging, we showed an extensive co-localization of CaM and Aβ(1–42) in lipid rafts in CGN stained with up to 100 picomoles of Aβ(1–42)-HiLyteTM-Fluor555 monomers. Intracellular Aβ(1–42) concentration in this range was achieved by 2 h incubation of CGN with 2 μM Aβ(1–42), and this treatment lowered the resting cytosolic calcium of mature CGN in partially depolarizing 25 mM potassium medium. We conclude that the primary cause of the resting cytosolic calcium decrease is the inhibition of L-type calcium channels of CGN by Aβ(1–42) dimers, whose activity is inhibited by CaM:Aβ(1–42) complexes bound to lipid rafts.

Injury Causes

Of the many crucial functions of the ER, homeostasis of physiological calcium increase is critical for signaling. Plasma membrane (PM) injury causes a pathological calcium influx. Here, we show that the ER helps clear this surge in cytoplasmic calcium through an ER-resident calcium pump, SERCA, and a calcium-activated ion channel, Anoctamin 5 (ANO5). SERCA imports calcium into the ER, and ANO5 supports this by maintaining electroneutrality of the ER lumen through anion import. Preventing either of these transporter activities causes cytosolic calcium overload and disrupts PM repair (PMR). ANO5 deficit in limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2L (LGMD2L) patient cells compromises their cytosolic and ER calcium homeostasis. By generating a mouse model of LGMD2L, we find that PM injury causes cytosolic calcium overload and compromises the ability of ANO5-deficient myofibers to repair. Addressing calcium overload in ANO5-deficient myofibers enables them to repair, supporting the requirement of the ER in calcium homeostasis in injured cells and facilitating PMR.

Abstract Mutations in SPG11, leading to loss of spatacsin function, impair the formation of membrane tubules in lysosomes and cause lysosomal lipid accumulation. However, the full nature of lipids accumulating in lysosomes and the physiological consequences of such accumulation are unknown. Here we show that loss of spatacsin inhibits the formation of tubules on lysosomes and prevents the clearance of cholesterol from this subcellular compartment. Accumulation of cholesterol in lysosomes decreases cholesterol levels in the plasma membrane, enhancing the entry of extracellular calcium by store-operated calcium entry and increasing resting cytosolic calcium levels. Higher cytosolic calcium levels promote the nuclear translocation of the master regulator of lysosomes TFEB, preventing the formation of tubules and the clearance of cholesterol from lysosomes. Our work reveals a homeostatic balance between cholesterol trafficking and cytosolic calcium levels and shows that loss of spatacsin impairs this homeostatic equilibrium.

AbstractMutations in SPG11, leading to loss of spatacsin function, impair the formation of membrane tubules in lysosomes and cause the accumulation of lipids in lysosome compartment. However, the full nature of lipids accumulating in lysosomes and the physiological consequences of such accumulation are not known. Here we show that loss of spatacsin, but also downregulation of clathrin, inhibited the formation of tubules on late endosomes/lysosomes and prevented the clearance of cholesterol from this subcellular compartment. Using spatacsin-deficient cells, we evaluated the consequences of impaired cholesterol clearance from late endosomes/lysosomes. The accumulation of cholesterol in late endosomes/lysosomes led to lower cholesterol levels in the plasma membrane, enhancing the entry of extracellular calcium by store-operated calcium entry and increasing resting cytosolic calcium levels. Higher cytosolic calcium levels promoted the nuclear translocation of the master regulator of lysosomes TFEB. Downregulation of TFEB or decrease in resting calcium levels in absence of spatacsin partially corrected the formation of tubules and the accumulation of cholesterol in lysosomes, suggesting that spatacsin could be indirectly implicated in the formation of tubules. Our work reveals a homeostatic balance between cholesterol trafficking and cytosolic calcium levels and shows that loss of spatacsin impairs this homeostatic equilibrium.

Raft Domains

Spatial organization of the plasma membrane is an essential feature of the cellular response to external stimuli. Receptor organization at the cell surface mediates transmission of extracellular stimuli to intracellular signalling molecules and effectors that impact various cellular processes including cell differentiation, metabolism, growth, migration and apoptosis. Membrane domains include morphologically distinct plasma membrane invaginations such as clathrin-coated pits and caveolae, but also less well-defined domains such as lipid rafts and the galectin lattice. In the present chapter, we will discuss interaction between caveolae, lipid rafts and the galectin lattice in the control of cancer cell signalling.

ABSTRACT Many plasma membrane components are organized into detergent-resistant membrane microdomains referred to as lipid rafts. However, there is much less information about the organization of membrane components into microdomains outside of lipid rafts. Furthermore, there are few approaches to determine whether different membrane components are colocalized in microdomains as small as lipid rafts. We have previously described a new method of determining the extent of organization of proteins into membrane microdomains by analyzing the distribution of pairwise distances between immunogold particles in immunoelectron micrographs. We used this method to analyze the microdomains involved in the incorporation of the T-cell antigen CD4 into the envelope of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). In cells infected with a recombinant virus that expresses CD4 from the viral genome, both CD4 and the VSV envelope glycoprotein (G protein) were found in detergent-soluble (nonraft) membrane fractions. However, analysis of the distribution of CD4 and G protein in plasma membranes by immunoelectron microscopy showed that both were organized into membrane microdomains of similar sizes, approximately 100 to 150 nm. In regions of plasma membrane outside of virus budding sites, CD4 and G protein were present in separate membrane microdomains, as shown by double-label immunoelectron microscopy data. However, virus budding occurred from membrane microdomains that contained both G protein and CD4, and extended to approximately 300 nm, indicating that VSV pseudotype formation with CD4 occurs by clustering of G protein- and CD4-containing microdomains.

Membrane Injury

Cells rapidly repair plasma membrane (PM) damage by a process requiring Ca2+-dependent lysosome exocytosis. Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) released from lysosomes induces endocytosis of injured membrane through caveolae, membrane invaginations from lipid rafts. How B lymphocytes, lacking any known form of caveolin, repair membrane injury is unknown. Here we show that B lymphocytes repair PM wounds in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Wounding induces lysosome exocytosis and endocytosis of dextran and the raft-binding cholera toxin subunit B (CTB). Resealing is reduced by ASM inhibitors and ASM deficiency and enhanced or restored by extracellular exposure to sphingomyelinase. B cell activation via B cell receptors (BCRs), a process requiring lipid rafts, interferes with PM repair. Conversely, wounding inhibits BCR signaling and internalization by disrupting BCR–lipid raft coclustering and by inducing the endocytosis of raft-bound CTB separately from BCR into tubular invaginations. Thus, PM repair and B cell activation interfere with one another because of competition for lipid rafts, revealing how frequent membrane injury and repair can impair B lymphocyte–mediated immune responses.
