Effects of biophysical membrane properties on recognition of phosphatidylserine, or phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate by lipid biosensors LactC2, or P4M. Biochimie 2023; 215:42-49. [PMID: 37683994 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2023.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
Lipid biosensors are molecular tools used both in vivo and in vitro applications, capable of selectively detecting specific types of lipids in biological membranes. However, despite their extensive use, there is a lack of systematic characterization of their binding properties in various membrane conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of membrane properties, such as fluidity and membrane charge, on the sensitivity of two lipid biosensors, LactC2 and P4M, to their target lipids, phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), respectively. Dual-color fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy, employed in this study, provided a useful technique to investigate interactions of these recombinant fluorescent biosensors with liposomes of varying compositions. The results of the study demonstrate that the binding of the LactC2 biosensor to low levels of PS in the membrane is highly supported by the presence of anionic lipids or membrane fluidity. However, at high PS levels, the presence of anionic lipids does not further enhance binding of LactC2. In contrast, neither membrane charge, nor membrane fluidity significantly affect the binding affinity of P4M to PI4P. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of membrane properties on the binding properties of lipid biosensors.

Crystal Structure of the ORP8 Lipid Transport ORD Domain: Model of Lipid Transport. Cells 2023; 12:1974. [PMID: 37566053 PMCID: PMC10417380 DOI: 10.3390/cells12151974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
ORPs are lipid-transport proteins belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein family. They facilitate the transfer of lipids between different intracellular membranes, such as the ER and plasma membrane. We have solved the crystal structure of the ORP8 lipid transport domain (ORD8). The ORD8 exhibited a β-barrel fold composed of anti-parallel β-strands, with three α-helices replacing β-strands on one side. This mixed alpha-beta structure was consistent with previously solved structures of ORP2 and ORP3. A large cavity (≈1860 Å3) within the barrel was identified as the lipid-binding site. Although we were not able to obtain a lipid-bound structure, we used computer simulations based on our crystal structure to dock PS and PI4P molecules into the putative lipid-binding site of the ORD8. Comparative experiments between the short ORD8ΔLid (used for crystallography) and the full-length ORD8 (lid containing) revealed the lid's importance for stable lipid binding. Fluorescence assays revealed different transport efficiencies for PS and PI4P, with the lid slowing down transport and stabilizing cargo. Coarse-grained simulations highlighted surface-exposed regions and hydrophobic interactions facilitating lipid bilayer insertion. These findings enhance our comprehension of ORD8, its structure, and lipid transport mechanisms, as well as provide a structural basis for the design of potential inhibitors.

Subunit-dependent surface mobility and localization of NMDA receptors in hippocampal neurons measured using nanobody probes. J Neurosci 2023:JNEUROSCI.2014-22.2023. [PMID: 37286354 DOI: 10.1523/jneurosci.2014-22.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023] Open
Abstract
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors that play a key role in excitatory neurotransmission. The number and subtype of surface NMDARs are regulated at several levels, including their externalization, internalization, and lateral diffusion between the synaptic and extrasynaptic regions. Here, we employed novel anti-GFP nanobodies conjugated to either the smallest commercially available quantum dot (QD) 525 or the several nm larger (and thus brighter) QD605 (referred to as nanoGFP-QD525 and nanoGFP-QD605, respectively). Targeting the YFP-tagged GluN1 subunit in rat hippocampal neurons, we compared these two probes to a previously established larger probe, a rabbit anti-GFP immunoglobulin G (IgG) together with a secondary IgG conjugated to QD605 (referred to as antiGFP-QD605). The nanoGFP-based probes allowed faster lateral diffusion of the NMDARs, with several-fold increased median values of the diffusion coefficient (D). Using thresholded tdTomato-Homer1c signals to mark synaptic regions, we found that the nanoprobe-based D values sharply increased at distances over 100 nm from the synaptic edge, while D values for antiGFP-QD605 probe remained unchanged up to 400 nm distance. Using the nanoGFP-QD605 probe in hippocampal neurons expressing the GFP-GluN2A, GFP-GluN2B, or GFP-GluN3A subunits, we detected subunit-dependent differences in the NMDARs' synaptic localization, D value, synaptic residence time, and synaptic-extrasynaptic exchange rate. Finally, we confirmed the applicability of the nanoGFP-QD605 probe to study differences in the distribution of synaptic NMDARs by comparing to data obtained with nanoGFPs conjugated to organic fluorophores, using universal point accumulation imaging in nanoscale topography (uPAINT) and direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM).Significance statement:Our study systematically compared the localization and mobility of surface NMDARs containing GFP-GluN2A, GFP-GluN2B, or GFP-GluN3A subunits expressed in rodent hippocampal neurons, using anti-GFP nanobodies conjugated to the quantum dot 605 (nanoGFP-QD605), as well as nanoGFP probes conjugated with small organic fluorophores. Our comprehensive analysis showed that the method used to delineate the synaptic region plays an important role in the study of synaptic and extrasynaptic pools of NMDARs. In addition, we showed that nanoGFP-QD605 probe has optimal parameters for studying the mobility of NMDARs due to its high localization accuracy comparable to dSTORM and longer scan time compared to uPAINT. The developed approaches are readily applicable to the study of any GFP-labeled membrane receptors expressed in mammalian neurons.

Osh6 Revisited: Control of PS Transport by the Concerted Actions of PI4P and Sac1 Phosphatase. Front Mol Biosci 2021; 8:747601. [PMID: 34712698 PMCID: PMC8546167 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2021.747601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Osh6, a member of the oxysterol-binding protein-related protein (ORP) family, is a lipid transport protein that is involved in the transport of phosphatidylserine (PS) between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM). We used a biophysical approach to characterize its transport mechanism in detail. We examined the transport of all potential ligands of Osh6. PI4P and PS are the best described lipid cargo molecules; in addition, we showed that PIP2 can be transported by Osh6 as well. So far, it was the exchange between the two cargo molecules, PS and PI4P, in the lipid-binding pocket of Osh6 that was considered an essential driving force for the PS transport. However, we showed that Osh6 can efficiently transport PS along the gradient without the help of PI4P and that PI4P inhibits the PS transport along its gradient. This observation highlights that the exchange between PS and PI4P is indeed crucial, but PI4P bound to the protein rather than intensifying the PS transport suppresses it. We considered this to be important for the transport directionality as it prevents PS from returning back from the PM where its concentration is high to the ER where it is synthesized. Our results also highlighted the importance of the ER resident Sac1 phosphatase that enables the PS transport and ensures its directionality by PI4P consumption. Furthermore, we showed that the Sac1 activity is regulated by the negative charge of the membrane that can be provided by PS or PI anions in the case of the ER membrane.

Defining the subcellular distribution and metabolic channeling of phosphatidylinositol. J Cell Biol 2020; 219:133809.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is an essential structural component of eukaryotic membranes that also serves as the common precursor for polyphosphoinositide (PPIn) lipids. Despite the recognized importance of PPIn species for signal transduction and membrane homeostasis, there is still a limited understanding of the relationship between PI availability and the turnover of subcellular PPIn pools. To address these shortcomings, we established a molecular toolbox for investigations of PI distribution within intact cells by exploiting the properties of a bacterial enzyme, PI-specific PLC (PI-PLC). Using these tools, we find a minor presence of PI in membranes of the ER, as well as a general enrichment within the cytosolic leaflets of the Golgi complex, peroxisomes, and outer mitochondrial membrane, but only detect very low steady-state levels of PI within the plasma membrane (PM) and endosomes. Kinetic studies also demonstrate the requirement for sustained PI supply from the ER for the maintenance of monophosphorylated PPIn species within the PM, Golgi complex, and endosomal compartments.

Abstract
Cytosine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside dCTBdp and its triphosphate (dCTBdpTP) bearing tetramethylated thiophene-bodipy fluorophore attached at position 5 were designed and synthesized. The green fluorescent nucleoside dCTBdp showed a perfect dependence of fluorescence lifetime on the viscosity. The modified triphosphate dCTBdpTP was substrate to several DNA polymerases and was used for in vitro enzymatic synthesis of labeled oligonucleotides (ONs) or DNA by primer extension. The labeled single-stranded ONs showed a significant decrease in mean fluorescence lifetime when hybridized to the complementary strand of DNA or RNA and were also sensitive to mismatches. The labeled dsDNA sensed protein binding (p53), which resulted in the increase of its fluorescence lifetime. The triphosphate dCTBdpTP was transported to live cells where its interactions could be detected by FLIM but it did not show incorporation to genomic DNA in cellulo.

Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KB) forms highly flexible heterocomplexes that include ACBD3, 14-3-3, and Rab11 proteins. Sci Rep 2019; 9:567.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KB) is a key enzyme of the Golgi system because it produces its lipid hallmark - the phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). It is recruited to Golgi by the Golgi resident ACBD3 protein, regulated by 14-3-3 proteins and it also serves as an adaptor because it recruits the small GTPase Rab11. Here, we analyzed the protein complexes formed by PI4KB in vitro using small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and we discovered that these protein complexes are highly flexible. The 14-3-3:PI4KB:Rab11 protein complex has 2:1:1 stoichiometry and its different conformations are rather compact, however, the ACBD3:PI4KB protein complex has both, very compact and very extended conformations. Furthermore, in vitro reconstitution revealed that the membrane is necessary for the formation of ACBD3:PI4KB:Rab11 protein complex at physiological (nanomolar) concentrations.

Abstract
The increase in nonradiative pathways with decreasing emission energy reduces the luminescence quantum yield (QY) of near-infrared photoluminescent (NIR PL) metal nanoclusters. Efficient surface ligand chemistry can significantly improve the luminescence QY of NIR PL metal nanoclusters. In contrast to the widely reported but modestly effective thiolate ligand-to-metal core charge transfer, we show that metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) can be used to greatly enhance the luminescence QY of NIR PL gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). We synthesized water-soluble and colloidally stable NIR PL AuNCs with unprecedentedly high QY (∼25%) upon introduction of triphenylphosphonium moieties into the surface capping layer. By using a combination of spectroscopic and theoretical methods, we provide evidence for gold core-to-ligand charge transfer occurring in AuNCs. We envision that this work can stimulate the development of these unusually bright AuNCs for promising optoelectronic, bioimaging, and other applications.

PI(4,5)P 2 controls plasma membrane PI4P and PS levels via ORP5/8 recruitment to ER-PM contact sites. J Cell Biol 2018; 217:1797-1813.

Abstract
Sohn et al. show that plasma membrane PI(4,5)P2 controls the level of its precursor, PI4P, by regulating PI4P/PS exchange activity of ORP5/8. This control is achieved via regulation of ORP5/8 interaction with the plasma membrane by both of these phosphoinositides. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) is a critically important regulatory lipid of the plasma membrane (PM); however, little is known about how cells regulate PM PI(4,5)P2 levels. Here, we show that the phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P)/phosphatidylserine (PS) transfer activity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–resident ORP5 and ORP8 is regulated by both PM PI4P and PI(4,5)P2. Dynamic control of ORP5/8 recruitment to the PM occurs through interactions with the N-terminal Pleckstrin homology domains and adjacent basic residues of ORP5/8 with both PI4P and PI(4,5)P2. Although ORP5 activity requires normal levels of these inositides, ORP8 is called on only when PI(4,5)P2 levels are increased. Regulation of the ORP5/8 attachment to the PM by both phosphoinositides provides a powerful means to determine the relative flux of PI4P toward the ER for PS transport and Sac1-mediated dephosphorylation and PIP 5-kinase–mediated conversion to PI(4,5)P2. Using this rheostat, cells can maintain PI(4,5)P2 levels by adjusting the availability of PI4P in the PM.

Abstract
Most single stranded plus RNA viruses hijack phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4Ks) to generate membranes highly enriched in phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). These membranous compartments known as webs, replication factories or replication organelles are essential for viral replication because they provide protection from the innate intracellular immune response while serving as platforms for viral replication. Using purified recombinant proteins and biomimetic model membranes we show that the nonstructural viral 3A protein is sufficient to promote membrane hyper-phosphorylation given the proper intracellular cofactors (PI4KB and ACBD3). However, our bio-mimetic in vitro reconstitution assay revealed that rather than the presence of PI4P specifically, negative charge alone is sufficient for the recruitment of 3Dpol enzymes to the surface of the lipid bilayer. Additionally, we show that membrane tethered viral 3B protein (also known as Vpg) works in combination with the negative charge to increase the efficiency of membrane recruitment of 3Dpol.

Structural analysis of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KB) - 14-3-3 protein complex reveals internal flexibility and explains 14-3-3 mediated protection from degradation in vitro.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KB) is responsible for the synthesis of the Golgi and trans-Golgi network (TGN) pool of phosphatidylinositol 4-phospahte (PI4P). PI4P is the defining lipid hallmark of Golgi and TGN and also serves as a signaling lipid and as a precursor for higher phosphoinositides. In addition, PI4KB is hijacked by many single stranded plus RNA (+RNA) viruses to generate PI4P-rich membranes that serve as viral replication organelles. Given the importance of this enzyme in cells, it has to be regulated. 14-3-3 proteins bind PI4KB upon its phosphorylation by protein kinase D, however, the structural basis of PI4KB recognition by 14-3-3 proteins is unknown. Here, we characterized the PI4KB:14-3-3 protein complex biophysically and structurally. We discovered that the PI4KB:14-3-3 protein complex is tight and is formed with 2:2 stoichiometry. Surprisingly, the enzymatic activity of PI4KB is not directly modulated by 14-3-3 proteins. However, 14-3-3 proteins protect PI4KB from proteolytic degradation in vitro. Our structural analysis revealed that the PI4KB:14-3-3 protein complex is flexible but mostly within the disordered regions connecting the 14-3-3 binding site of the PI4KB with the rest of the PI4KB enzyme. It also predicted no direct modulation of PI4KB enzymatic activity by 14-3-3 proteins and that 14-3-3 binding will not interfere with PI4KB recruitment to the membrane by the ACBD3 protein. In addition, the structural analysis explains the observed protection from degradation; it revealed that several disordered regions of PI4KB become protected from proteolytical degradation upon 14-3-3 binding. All the structural predictions were subsequently biochemically validated.

Abstract
Picornaviruses are small positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that include many important human pathogens. Within the host cell, they replicate at specific replication sites called replication organelles. To create this membrane platform, they hijack several host factors including the acyl-CoA-binding domain-containing protein-3 (ACBD3). Here, we present a structural characterization of the molecular complexes formed by the non-structural 3A proteins from two species of the Kobuvirus genus of the Picornaviridae family and the 3A-binding domain of the host ACBD3 protein. Specifically, we present a series of crystal structures as well as a molecular dynamics simulation of the 3A:ACBD3 complex at the membrane, which reveals that the viral 3A proteins act as molecular harnesses to enslave the ACBD3 protein leading to its stabilization at target membranes. Our data provide a structural rationale for understanding how these viral-host protein complexes assemble at the atomic level and identify new potential targets for antiviral therapies.

Abstract
The lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KB) is an essential host factor for many positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+RNA) viruses including human pathogens hepatitis C virus (HCV), Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), coxsackie viruses, and rhinoviruses. Inhibitors of PI4KB are considered to be potential broad-spectrum virostatics, and it is therefore critical to develop a biochemical understanding of the kinase. Here, we present highly potent and selective fluorescent inhibitors that we show to be useful chemical biology tools especially in determination of dissociation constants. Moreover, we show that the coumarin-labeled inhibitor can be used to image PI4KB in cells using fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) microscopy.

Abstract
Evidence has been accumulated that the plasma membrane of various mammalian cell types is heterogeneous in structure and may contain lipid microdomains (lipid rafts). This study focuses on the membrane organization of living oligodendrocytes, which are the myelin-producing cells of the central nervous system. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) was used to monitor the lateral diffusion of a lipid and of a protein in the oligodendroglial cell line OLN-93. The lipid was fluorescently labelled sphingomyelin (Bodipy FL-C5 SM). The protein was the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). In order to monitor the lateral diffusion of MOG, OLN-93 cells were transfected with a MOG-EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) fusion plasmid. The measurements were performed at room temperature. FCS data were analyzed for two-dimensional (2D) diffusion according to three models which all included a triplet fraction: (a) 2D 1 component (2D1C), (b) 2D anomalous diffusion (2D1Calpha), and (c) 2D 2 components (2D2C). Preliminary results indicate that for the lipid case, the best fits are obtained with 2D2C. In the case of MOG-EGFP, 2D2C and 2D1Calpha give fits of similar quality. The parameter estimates obtained with 2D1Calpha, however, have a lower standard deviation. The anomaly parameter for MOG-EGFP is 0.59+/-0.01.
