Long-term effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on vacuolar H(+)-ATPase were studied in a SV40-transformed cell line derived from rat proximal tubules (IRPTC). Using pH(i) measurements with the fluorescent dye BCECF, the hormone increased Na(+)-independent pH recovery rate from an NH(4)Cl pulse from 0.066 +/- 0.014 pH U/min (n = 7) to 0.14 +/- 0.021 pH U/min (n = 13; p < 0.05) in 10 h Ang II (10(-9) M)-treated cells. The increased activity of H(+)-ATPase did not involve changes in mRNA or protein abundance of the B2 subunit but increased cell surface expression of the V-ATPase. Inhibition of tyrosine kinase by genistein blocked Ang II-dependent stimulation of H(+)-ATPase. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) by wortmannin and of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) by SB 203580 also blocked this effect. Thus, long-term exposure of IRPTC cells to Ang II causes upregulation of H(+)-ATPase activity due, at least in part, to increased B2 cell surface expression. This regulatory pathway is dependent on mechanisms involving tyrosine kinase, p38 MAPK, and PI3K activation.

Background/Aims: It has been widely accepted that chloride ions moving along chloride channels act to dissipate the electrical gradient established by the electrogenic transport of H(+) ions performed by H(+)-ATPase into subcellular vesicles. Largely known in intracellular compartments, this mechanism is also important at the plasma membrane of cells from various tissues, including kidney. The present work was performed to study the modulation of plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase by chloride channels, in particular, CFTR and ClC-5 in kidney proximal tubule. Methods and Results: Using in vivo stationary microperfusion, it was observed that ATPase-mediated HCO(3)(-) reabsorption was significantly reduced in the presence of the Cl(-) channels inhibitor NPPB. This effect was confirmed in vitro by measuring the cell pH recovery rates after a NH(4)Cl pulse in immortalized rat renal proximal tubule cells, IRPTC. In these cells, even after abolishing the membrane potential with valinomycin, ATPase activity was seen to be still dependent on Cl(-). siRNA-mediated CFTR channels and ClC-5 chloride-proton exchanger knockdown significantly reduced H(+)-ATPase activity and V-ATPase B2 subunit expression. Conclusion: These results indicate a role of chloride in modulating plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase activity in proximal tubule and suggest that both CFTR and ClC-5 modulate ATPase activity.

As adults, anadromous lampreys migrate from seawater into freshwater rivers, where they require branchial ion (NaCl) absorption for osmoregulation. In teleosts and elasmobranchs, pharmological, immunohistochemical, and molecular data support roles for Na+/K+-ATPase (NPPase), carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), and vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) in two different models of branchial ion absorption. To our knowledge, these transport-related proteins have not been studied in adult freshwater lampreys, and therefore it is not known if they are expressed, or have similar functions, in lampreys. The purpose of this study was to localize NPPase, CAII, and V-ATPase in the gills of adult freshwater lampreys and determine if any of these transport-related proteins are expressed in the same cells. Heterologous antibodies were used to localize the three proteins in gill tissue from pouched lamprey (Geotria australis). Immunoreactivity (IR) for all three proteins occurred between, and at the base of, lamellae in cells that match previous descriptions of mitochondrion-rich-cells (MRCs). NPPase-IR was always on the basolateral side of cells that did not stain for CAII or V-ATPase. In contrast, CAII-IR was always on the apical side of cells that also contained diffuse V-ATPase-IR. Therefore, we have identified two types of MRC in adult freshwater lamprey gills based on immunohistochemical staining for three transport proteins. A model of ion transport, based on our results, is proposed for adult freshwater lampreys.

Resistance of cancer cells towards chemotherapy is the major cause of therapy failure. Hence, the evaluation of cellular defense mechanisms is essential in the establishment of new chemotherapeutics. In this study, classical intrinsic and acquired as well as new resistance mechanisms relevant in the cellular response to the novel vacuolar H+-ATPase inhibitor archazolid B were investigated. Archazolid B, originally produced by the myxobacterium Archangium gephyra, displayed cytotoxicity in the low nanomolar range on a panel of cancer cell lines. The drug showed enhanced cytotoxic activity against nearly all cancerous cells compared to their non-cancerous pendants. With regards to ABC transporters, archazolid B was identified as a moderate substrate of ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) and a weak substrate of ABCG2 (BCRP), whereas hypersensitivity was observed in ABCB5-expressing cells. The cytotoxic effect of archazolid B was shown to be independent of the cellular p53 status. However, cells expressing constitutively active EGFR displayed significantly increased resistance. Acquired drug resistance was studied by establishing an archazolid B-resistant MCF-7 cell line. Experiments showed that this secondary resistance was not conferred by aberrant expression or DNA mutations of the gene encoding vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit c, the direct target of archazolid B. Instead, a slight increase of ABCB1 and a significant overexpression of EGFR as well as reduced proliferation may contribute to acquired archazolid B resistance. For identification of new resistance strategies upon archazolid B treatment, omics data from bladder cancer and glioblastoma cells were analyzed, revealing drastic disturbances in cholesterol homeostasis, affecting cholesterol biosynthesis, uptake and transport. As shown by filipin staining, archazolid B led to accumulation of free cholesterol in lysosomes, which triggered sterol responses, mediated by SREBP-2 and LXR, including up-regulation of HMGCR, the key enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. Furthermore, inhibition of LDL uptake as well as impaired LDLR surface expression were observed, indicating newly synthesized cholesterol to be the main source of cholesterol in archazolid B-treated cells. This was proven by the fact that under archazolid B treatment, total free cholesterol levels as well as cell survival were significantly reduced by inhibiting HMGCR with fluvastatin. The combination of archazolid B with statins may therefore be an attractive strategy to circumvent cholesterol-mediated cell survival and in turn potentiate the promising anticancer effects of archazolid B.

Mutations in the vacuolar–type H+-ATPase B1 subunit gene ATP6V1B1 cause autosomal–recessive distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). We previously identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the human B1 subunit (c.481G.A; p.E161K) that causes greatly diminished pump function in vitro. To investigate the effect of this SNP on urinary acidification, we conducted a genotype-phenotype analysis of recurrent stone formers in theDallas and Bern kidney stone registries. Of 555 patients examined, 32 (5.8%) were heterozygous for the p.E161K SNP, and the remaining 523 (94.2%) carried two wild–type alleles. After adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, and dietary acid and alkali intake, p.E161K SNP carriers had a nonsignificant tendency to higher urinary pH on a random diet (6.31 versus 6.09; P=0.09). Under an instructed low–Ca and low–Na diet, urinary pH was higher in p.E161K SNP carriers (6.56 versus 6.01; P,0.01). Kidney stones of p.E161K carriers were more likely to contain calcium phosphate than stones of wild-type patients. In acute NH4Cl loading, p.E161K carriers displayed a higher trough urinary pH (5.34 versus 4.89; P=0.01) than wild-type patients. Overall, 14.6% of wild-type patients and 52.4% of p.E161K carriers were unable to acidify their urine below pH 5.3 and thus, can be considered to have incomplete dRTA. In summary, our data indicate that recurrent stone formers with the vacuolar H+-ATPase B1 subunit p.E161K SNP exhibit a urinary acidification deficit with an increased prevalence of calcium phosphate– containing kidney stones. The burden of E161K heterozygosity may be a forme fruste of dRTA.

The effect of the vacuolar H+-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1 (Baf A1) on the localization of pre-Golgi intermediate compartment (IC) and Golgi marker proteins was used to study the role of acidification in the function of early secretory compartments. Baf A1 inhibited both brefeldin A- and nocodazole-induced retrograde transport of Golgi proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas anterograde ER-to-Golgi transport remained largely unaffected. Furthermore, p58/ERGIC-53, which normally cycles between the ER, IC, and cis-Golgi, was arrested in pre-Golgi tubules and vacuoles, and the number of p58-positive ∼80-nm Golgi (coatomer protein I) vesicles was reduced, suggesting that the drug inhibits the retrieval of the protein from post-ER compartments. In parallel, redistribution of β-coatomer protein from the Golgi to peripheral pre-Golgi structures took place. The small GTPase rab1p was detected in short pre-Golgi tubules in control cells and was efficiently recruited to the tubules accumulating in the presence of Baf A1. In contrast, these tubules showed no enrichment of newly synthesized, anterogradely transported proteins, indicating that they participate in retrograde transport. These results suggest that the pre-Golgi structures contain an active H+-ATPase that regulates retrograde transport at the ER–Golgi boundary. Interestingly, although Baf A1 had distinct effects on peripheral pre-Golgi structures, only more central, p58-containing elements accumulated detectable amounts of 3-(2,4-dinitroanilino)-3′-amino-N-methyldipropylamine (DAMP), a marker for acidic compartments, raising the possibility that the lumenal pH of the pre-Golgi structures gradually changes in parallel with their translocation to the Golgi region.

Neutrophils in tissue culture spontaneously undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis), a process characterized by well-defined morphological alterations affecting the cell nucleus. We found that these morphological changes were preceded by intracellular acidification and that acidification and the apoptotic changes in nuclear morphology were both delayed by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Among the agents that defend neutrophils against intracellular acidification is a vacuolar H(+)-ATPase that pumps protons out of the cytosol. When this proton pump was inhibited by bafilomycin A1, G-CSF no longer protected the neutrophils against apoptosis. We conclude that G-CSF delays apoptosis in neutrophils by up-regulating the cells' vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and that intracellular acidification is an early event in the apoptosis program.

We have identified a second isoform of the catalytic A subunit of the vacuolar H+ pump in chicken osteoclasts. In this isoform (A2) a 72-bp cassette replaces a 90-bp cassette present in the classical A1 isoform. The A1-specific cassette encodes a region of the protein that contains one of the three ATP-binding consensus sequences (the P-loop) identified in this polypeptide, as well as the pharmacologically relevant Cys254. In contrast, the A2-specific cassette does not contain any of these features. These two isoforms, which appear to be ubiquitously expressed, are encoded by a single gene and are generated by alternative splicing of two mutually exclusive exons. The alternative RNA processing involves the recognition of a single site, the boundary between the A2- and A1-specific exons, as either acceptor (in A1) or donor (in A2) splice site.

The vacuolar proton-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit enzyme complex that is able to transfer protons over membranes against an electrochemical potential under ATP hydrolysis. The enzyme consists of two subcomplexes: V0, which is membrane embedded; and V1, which is cytosolic. V0 was also reported to be involved in fusion of vacuoles in yeast. We identified six genes encoding c-subunits (proteolipids) of V0 and two genes encoding F-subunits of V1 and studied the role of the V-ATPase in trafficking in Paramecium. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion proteins allowed a clear subcellular localization of c- and F-subunits in the contractile vacuole complex of the osmoregulatory system and in food vacuoles. Several other organelles were also detected, in particular dense core secretory granules (trichocysts). The functional significance of the V-ATPase in Paramecium was investigated by RNA interference (RNAi), using a recently developed feeding method. A novel strategy was used to block the expression of all six c- or both F-subunits simultaneously. The V-ATPase was found to be crucial for osmoregulation, the phagocytotic pathway and the biogenesis of dense core secretory granules. No evidence was found supporting participation of V0 in membrane fusion.

Leite-Dellova DC, Malnic G, Mello-Aires M. Genomic and non-genomic stimulatory effect of aldosterone on H(+)-ATPase in proximal S3 segments. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 300: F682-F691, 2011. First published December 29, 2010; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00172.2010.-The genomic and nongenomic effects of aldosterone on the intracellular pH recovery rate (pHirr) via H(-)(+)ATPase and on cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) were investigated in isolated proximal S3 segments of rats during superfusion with an Na(+)-free solution, by using the fluorescent probes BCECF-AM and FLUO-4-AM, respectively. The pHirr, after cellular acidification with a NH(4)Cl pulse, was 0.064 +/- 0.003 pH units/min (n = 17/74) and was abolished with concanamycin. Aldosterone (10(-12), 10(-10),10(-8), or 10(-6) M with 1-h or 15- or 2-min preincubation) increased the pHirr. The baseline [Ca(2+)](i) was 103 +/- 2 nM (n = 58). After 1 min of aldosterone preincubation, there was a transient and dose-dependent increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and after 6-min preincubation there was a new increase in [Ca(2+)](i) that persisted after 1 h. Spironolactone [mineralocorticoid (MR) antagonist], actinomycin D, or cycloheximide did not affect the effects of aldosterone (15- or 2-min preincubation) on pHirr and on [Ca(2+)](i) but inhibited the effects of aldosterone (1-h preincubation) on these parameters. RU 486 [glucocorticoid (GR) antagonist] and dimethyl-BAPTA (Ca(2+) chelator) prevented the effect of aldosterone on both parameters. The data indicate a genomic (1 h, via MR) and a nongenomic action (15 or 2 min, probably via GR) on the H(+)-ATPase and on [Ca(2+)](i). The results are compatible with stimulation of the H(+)-ATPase by increases in [Ca(2+)](i) (at 10(-12)-10(-6) M aldosterone) and inhibition of the H(+)-ATPase by decreases in [Ca(2+)](i) (at 10(-12) or 10(-6) M aldosterone plus RU 486).

The accessory protein negative factor (Nef) from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) is required for optimal viral infectivity and the progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Nef interacts with the endocytic machinery, resulting in the down-regulation of cluster of differentiation antigen 4 (CD4) and major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecules on the surface of infected cells. Mutations in the C-terminal flexible loop of Nef result in a lower rate of internalization by this viral protein. However, no loop-dependent binding of Nef to adaptor protein-2 (AP-2), which is the adaptor protein complex that is required for the internalization of proteins from the plasma membrane, could be demonstrated. In this study we investigated the relevance of different motifs in Nef from SIVmac239 for its internalization, CD4 down-regulation, binding to components of the trafficking machinery, and viral infectivity. Our data suggest that the binding of Nef to the catalytic subunit H of the vacuolar membrane ATPase (V-ATPase) facilitates its internalization. This binding depends on the integrity of the whole flexible loop. Subsequent studies on Nef mutant viruses revealed that the flexible loop is essential for optimal viral infectivity. Therefore, our data demonstrate how Nef contacts the endocytic machinery in the absence of its direct binding to AP-2 and suggest an important role for subunit H of the V-ATPase in viral infectivity.

The vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase), a multisubunit, adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-driven proton pump, is essential for numerous cellular processes in all eukaryotes investigated so far. While structure and catalytic mechanism are similar to the evolutionarily related F-type ATPases, the V-ATPase's main function is to establish an electrochemical proton potential across membranes using ATP hydrolysis. The holoenzyme is formed by two subcomplexes, the transmembraneous V(0) and the cytoplasmic V(1) complexes. Sequencing of the whole genome of the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia enabled the identification of virtually all the genes encoding V-ATPase subunits in this organism and the studying of the localization of the enzyme and roles in membrane trafficking and osmoregulation. Surprisingly, the number of V-ATPase genes in this free-living protozoan is strikingly higher than in any other species previously studied. Especially abundant are V(0)-a-subunits with as many as 17 encoding genes. This abundance creates the possibility of forming a large number of different V-ATPase holoenzymes by combination and has functional consequences by differential targeting to various organelles.

In the Paramecium tetraurelia genome, 17 genes encoding the 100-kDa-subunit (a-subunit) of the vacuolar-proton-ATPase were identified, representing by far the largest number of a-subunit genes encountered in any organism investigated so far. They group into nine clusters, eight pairs with >82% amino acid identity and one single gene. Green fluorescent protein-tagging of representatives of the nine clusters revealed highly specific targeting to at least seven different compartments, among them dense core secretory vesicles (trichocysts), the contractile vacuole complex, and phagosomes. RNA interference for two pairs confirmed their functional specialization in their target compartments: silencing of the trichocyst-specific form affected this secretory pathway, whereas silencing of the contractile vacuole complex-specific form altered organelle structure and functioning. The construction of chimeras between selected a-subunits surprisingly revealed the targeting signal to be located in the C terminus of the protein, in contrast with the N-terminal targeting signal of the a-subunit in yeast. Interestingly, some chimeras provoked deleterious effects, locally in their target compartment, or remotely, in the compartment whose specific a-subunit N terminus was used in the chimera.

根质膜具有重要的生物学功能,它参与了根响应脱落酸(ABA)的一系列活动。尽管已经有很多有关ABA影响根的生长和发育的报道,但是在蛋白质组水平上研究参与ABA信号转导及相关活动的质膜蛋白质的报道还未见到。我们期望利用蛋白质组学技术平台研究外源ABA胁迫下水稻根质膜与ABA功能相关的蛋白质组的变化。 本论文通过双向电泳(2DE)结合质谱(MALDI-TOF MS 和 MALDI-TOF/TOF MS)分析的方法鉴定了102个质膜相关蛋白质。这些蛋白质功能涉及到跨膜运输(16.2%)、胁迫反应(14.3%)、物质运输(4.8%)、细胞骨架动态变化(5.7%)、细胞壁重建(3.8%)、碳代谢和能量循环(13.3%)、蛋白质代谢(14.3%)、信号转导(18.1%)和其他功能的蛋白质(4.8%),以及未知功能的蛋白质(2.9%)。其中大约30%的蛋白质以同工型的形式存在。在这些鉴定结果中,有10个斑点(代表10种蛋白质)已被报道为质膜特异的蛋白质;68个蛋白质斑点(代表58种蛋白质)是质膜相关蛋白质。其余54个蛋白质斑点(代表42种蛋白质)是首次在水稻根的质膜囊泡中被鉴定出来。 在ABA处理条件下,我们在2DE胶上发现了15个响应ABA调节的蛋白质斑点。9个上调的蛋白质斑点分别代表以下9种蛋白质:vacuolar proton-ATPase A subunit, vacuolar ATPase B subunit、patatin、 Salt-stress root protein RS1、谷氨酰氨合成酶(Glutamine synthetase,GS)、OSR40c1、H+-exporting ATPase (vacuolar ATPase E subunit)、甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶I型(glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate dehydrogenase, type I,GADPH)和醛缩酶C-1(aldolase C-1)。6个下调的蛋白质斑点分别代表4种蛋白质:endosperm lumenal binding protein、remorin protein、富含脯氨酸蛋白质(glycine-rich protein,GRP)和蔗糖合成酶(sucrose synthase, SuSy)。其中,OSR40c1和endosperm lumenal binding protein与蛋白质合成相关,从它们与ABA的关系中可以看出,ABA可能抑制了细胞的蛋白质合成。而vacuolar proton-ATPase A subunit、vacuolar ATPase B subunit和 H+-exporting ATPase参与了细胞质pH的调控,ABA致使了细胞质pH的上升。甘油醛-3-磷酸脱氢酶I型、醛缩酶C-1和蔗糖合酶参与了细胞壁的生长发育,ABA的作用可能导致了细胞壁生长发育的延迟。ABA促使Patatin上升,其作用可能与质膜膜脂的降解有关。而ABA的刺激也使谷氨酰氨合成酶的表达显著上升,谷氨酰氨合成酶可以去除细胞内有害的游离NH+4。同时还有未知功能的富含脯氨酸蛋白质(glycine-rich protein,GRP)同样受到ABA的诱导,但具体的功能及其与ABA的关系还要进一步的实验证据。

水稻既是我国三大粮食作物之一,又是基因组学研究的模式材料,在生产实践和科学研究中都占有极其重要的地位。基因组学研究取得的巨大成就以前所未有的深度和广度推动了生命科学各个研究领域的飞速发展。水稻基因组的破译是水稻科学研究的重要里程碑,同时也宣告了功能基因组学时代的到来。蛋白质组学是研究细胞内全部蛋白质的动态表达及其相互关系的新兴学科,是功能基因组学研究的重要组成部分和战略制高点。 本论文采用高分辨率的蛋白质双向电泳分离技术和高通量的蛋白质质谱分析技术以及生物信息学等手段,开展水稻灌浆期茎蛋白质组表达模式和水稻幼苗脱黄化过程的比较蛋白质组学研究,探讨茎生长发育规律和水稻应答光信号相关蛋白质及其网络调控机制,是学科前沿与实际应用的有机结合,在科研和生产实践中都具有重要的意义。 首先,分别构建了灌浆期水稻顶端茎段和水稻黄化幼苗的蛋白质组表达谱。并对其中185个目的蛋白点进行了MALDI-TOF/MS分析和数据库检索鉴定。共有149个蛋白质得到了鉴定,蛋白质鉴定的成功率为80.5%。这些被鉴定的蛋白质分属118个基因的表达产物,根据它们功能可以分为13种不同的类别,其中绝大多数为能量产生和代谢以及抗性相关的蛋白质。 在水稻灌浆期顶端茎段表达的蛋白质中,与能量和物质代谢相关的蛋白质例如ATPase、磷酸丙糖异构酶,6-磷酸葡萄糖异构酶等占有很高比例,说明茎段组织中具有很强的代谢活动。与生长发育相关的蛋白质包括beta-tubulins、无机焦磷酸酶(inorganic pyrophosphatase)、液泡质子ATP酶(vacuolar proton-ATPase)以及UDP葡萄糖焦磷酸酶等的大量累积,显示出顶端茎段细胞分裂和生长迅速;同时,贮存多糖和结构多糖也在旺盛合成。G蛋白、GDP释放抑制因子等信号传导蛋白以及苯丙氨酸氨解酶、谷胱苷肽S转移酶(glutathione S-transferase,GST)、抗坏血酸过氧化酶(ascorbate peroxidase,APX)以及超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)等抗性相关蛋白质在该时期丰度表达,表明在灌浆期水稻顶端茎段能够迅速感受并传递外界信号,从而使得其在遭受胁迫时能够立刻启动抗逆防御系统,最大限度地降低不利环境对种子发育的影响。 在黑暗中萌发和生长的水稻黄化幼苗随着光照时间(0~24小时)的延长,能通过双向电泳后检测到的蛋白质逐渐变少,24小时后趋于稳定,相当于正常光照条件下生长的水稻幼苗蛋白质组表达谱。进一步分析表明,在黄化苗中,分解代谢及能量产生相关的蛋白如丙糖磷酸异构酶、琥珀酰辅酶A连接酶、异戊酰辅酶A脱氢酶与ATPase等的表达量比较丰富;另外,还可能启动了脂肪酸的α氧化分解途径,以供黑暗中生长所需的物质和能量。当黄化幼苗光照后,与光合作用及物质合成相关的一些蛋白质表达量增加,而那些分解代谢相关酶类则有所下降。同时,鸟核苷酸结合蛋白β亚基类似蛋白、20S proteasome以及Bowman Birk trypsin inhibitor等信号传递及抗性相关蛋白随着光照时间的延长而减少,说明黑暗胁迫条件下水稻幼苗启动了相关的抗逆途径。叶绿素合成途径中的蛋白酶胆色素原脱氨基酶和金属鳌合酶在脱黄化过程中表达量有所下降,可能是因为叶绿素合成产物具有反馈抑制作用。 本研究首次利用蛋白质组学方法来解析水稻灌浆期茎蛋白质组表达模式和水稻黄化幼苗响应光因子的蛋白质组变化情况,鉴定了一些有价值的蛋白质,并得到了它们的表达特点和相关数据,为更好地理解水稻顶端茎秆的生长特点和功效、水稻应答黑暗胁迫和光形态建成以及光合作用机理等提供了分子证据。
