我々の見出した新規分子 PRIP の既知の機能を切り口として各開口分泌調節分子との関係を主として解析し、PRIPが分泌過程のどこに作用するのかを明らかにする。「開口分泌」というキーワードで表される小胞輸送や膜融合は、ホルモンやサイトカン、オータコイド、消化酵素の分泌、さらには神経伝達物質の放出に関わることは勿論のこと、受容体やチャネル、トランスポーターの細胞膜上への発現にも働いている。したがって、本研究成果は普遍的な細胞機能の1つに新しい分子の存在と役割を認知させるという学術的意義を持つ。同時に本研究成果は開口分泌(膜融合)の異常による疾患(内分泌異常、外分泌異常、受容体やトランスポーターの発現異常などに基づく疾病など幅広い)の病態の理解に進歩をもたらし、治療ターゲットに新しい分子を付け加えることになる。

Dysfunctions in the control of this pathway can cause human cancer cell migration and metastatic growth. Here we investigated whether phospholipase C-related catalytically inactive protein (PRIP), a PI(4,5)P2-binding protein, regulates cancer cell migration. PRIP overexpression in MCF-7 and BT-549 human breast cancer cells inhibited cell migration in vitro and metastasis development in vivo. Overexpression of the PRIP pleckstrin homology domain, a PI(4,5)P2 binding motif, in MCF-7 cells caused significant suppression of cell migration. Consistent with these results, in comparison with wild-type cells, Prip-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibited increased cell migration, and this was significantly attenuated upon transfection with a siRNA targeting p110α, a catalytic subunit of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks). PI(3,4,5)P3 production was decreased in Prip-overexpressing MCF-7 and BT-549 cells. PI3K binding to PI(4,5)P2 was significantly inhibited by recombinant PRIP in vitro, and thus the activity of PI3K was downregulated. Collectively, PRIP regulates the production of PI(3,4,5)P3 from PI(4,5)P2 by PI3K, and the suppressor activity of PRIP in PI(4,5)P2 metabolism regulates the tumour migration, suggesting PRIP as a promising target for protection against metastatic progression..

C2 domains mediate interactions between the parental molecule and Ca2+, phospholipids, and proteins. Although various molecules have been shown to interact with several C2 domains, no interactions between the C2 domains from different molecules have yet been reported. In the present study, we identified direct interactions between the C2 domain of PRIP (phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein) and the C2 domains of other molecules. Among the C2 domains examined, those of synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1-C2A and Syt1-C2B) and phospholipase C δ-1 bound to the C2 domain of PRIP. We investigated the interactions between the C2 domain of PRIP (PRIP-C2) with Syt1-C2A and Syt1-C2B, and the mode of binding of each was Ca2+-dependent and -independent, respectively. We further demonstrated that the Ca2+ dependence of the interaction between PRIP-C2 and Syt1-C2A was attributed to Ca2+ binding with Syt1-C2A, but not PRIP-C2, using a series of mutants prepared from both C2 domains. We previously reported that the interaction between PRIP-C2 and the membrane fusion machinery suggested a critical role for PRIP in exocytosis; therefore, the results of the present study further support the importance of PRIP-C2 in the inhibitory function of PRIP in regulating exocytosis..

12. Jing Gao, Hiroshi Takeuchi, Zhao Zhang, Mitsunori Fukuda, Masato Hirata, Phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein (PRIP) modulates synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) phosphorylation and exocytosis., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 10.1074/jbc.M111.294645, 287, 13, 10565-10578, 2012.03, [URL], Exocytosis is one of the most fundamental cellular events. The basic mechanism of the final step, membrane fusion, is mediated by the formation of the SNARE complex, which is modulated by the phosphorylation of proteins controlled by the concerted actions of protein kinases and phosphatases. We have previously shown that a protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) anchoring protein, phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein (PRIP), has an inhibitory role in regulated exocytosis. The current study investigated the involvement of PRIP in the phospho-dependent modulation of exocytosis. Dephosphorylation of synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) was mainly catalyzed by PP1, and the process was modulated by wild-type PRIP but not by the mutant (F97A) lacking PP1 binding ability in in vitro studies.We then examined the role of PRIP in phospho-dependent regulation of exocytosis in cell-based studies using pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 cells, which secrete noradrenalin. Exogenous expression of PRIP accelerated the dephosphorylation process of phosphorylated SNAP-25 after for-skolin or phorbol ester treatment of the cells. The phospho-states of SNAP-25 were correlated with noradrenalin secretion, which was enhanced by forskolin or phorbol ester treatment and modulated by PRIP expression in PC12 cells. Both SNAP-25 and PP1 were co-precipitated in anti-PRIP immunocomplex isolated from PC12 cells expressing PRIP. Collectively, together with our previous observation regarding the roles of PRIP in PP1 regulation, these results suggest that PRIP is involved in the regulation of the phospho-states ofSNAP-25by modulating the activity of PP1, thus regulating exocytosis..

Out of 47 mammalian proteins containing PX domains, more than 30 are denoted sorting nexins and several of these have been implicated in internalization of cell surface proteins to the endosome, where phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate is concentrated. Here we investigated a multimodular protein termed PXK, composed of a PX domain, a protein kinase-like domain, and a WASP homology 2 domain. We show that the PX domain of PXK localizes this protein to the endosomal membrane via binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. PXK expression in COS7 cells accelerated the ligand-induced internalization and degradation of epidermal growth factor receptors by a mechanism requiring phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate binding but not involving the WASP homology 2 domain. Conversely, depletion of PXK using RNA interference decreased the rate of epidermal growth factor receptor internalization and degradation. Ubiquitination of epidermal growth factor receptor by the ligand stimulation was enhanced in PXK-expressing cells. These results indicate that PXK plays a critical role in epidermal growth factor receptor trafficking through modulating ligand-induced ubiquitination of the receptor..

Gao, J., Takeuchi, H., Zhang, Z., Fujii, M., Kanematsu, T. and Hirata, M., Binding of phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate via the PH domain., Cellular Signalling, 21, 1180-1186, 2009.03, A well-known protein module regulating molecular interactions is the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain whose best-characterised ligand is phosphoinositide. In the present study, we analysed the PH domain from PRIP (phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein, comprising types 1 and 2) regarding phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] binding employing a variety of binding assays. The PH domains prepared from PRIP-1 and -2 showed similar binding profiles to soluble ligands in vitro and showed similar plasma membrane localisation to that of PLC-δ1; however, the PH domain with the N-terminal extension of PRIP-1 but not PRIP-2 showed even distribution throughout the cytoplasm, indicating that the N-terminal extension of PRIP-1 inhibited binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2 present in the plasma membrane. A chimeric molecule of PLC-δ1 PH domain with the N-terminal extension of PRIP-1 exhibited similar localisation to PRIP-1 PH domain with the N-terminal extension. Binding assay to liposomes containing various concentrations of PtdIns(4,5)P2 revealed that the PH domain of PLC-δ1 bound steeply to the maximum, even at a concentration of 1.2 mol%, whereas the PH domains from PRIP-1 and -2 bound depending on the concentration up to 5 mol%. We also performed binding experiments using saponin-permeabilised PC12 cells. PH domains from PRIP increased the binding to cells preincubated with the brain cytosol extract in the presence of ATP, during which PtdIns(4,5)P2 were probably synthesised. The binding of PH domain with the following EF hand motifs showed Ca2+-dependent binding. These results indicate that the PH domain of PRIP binds to PtdIns(4,5)P2 present in the plasma membrane, depending on the concentrations of the lipid ligand and Ca2+, suggesting that PRIP might play physiological roles in events involved in the changes of these parameters, probably including Ins(1,4,5)P3..

Numerous studies using insulin-resistant animal models and humans have consistently demonstrated a reduced activity of insulin signaling via the insulin receptor substrate (IRS-1)/ Akt pathway, but the molecular mechanism of triggering events remains incompletely understood. We previously reported that PRIP (phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein) interacts with Akt, the center molecule of insulin signaling pathway. In the present study, we investigated whether PRIP is involved in the regulation of insulin signaling. We found that the phosphorylation of of Akt and even upstream molecules, IR (insulin receptor) and IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate) were inhibited in PRIP-KO (Knockout) MEFs (mouse embryonic fibroblasts), and that glucose uptake was inhibited in adipocytes differentiated from PRIP-KO MEF, indicating insulin insensitivity in PRIP-KO cells. Furthermore, ablation of PRIP diminished the plasma membrane localization of IR in mouse adipocyte. Overexpression of PRIP1 in HepG2 cell blocked the insulin-reduced IR internalization into the cell. PRIP directly interacted with IR and Clathrin Heavy Chain (CLTC) in adipocyte. Silencing of CLTC using siRNA retrieved the plasma membrane localization of IR which was diminished in PRIP-KO adipocyte to the same level of WT cells. These results suggest that PRIP is involved in the regulation of insulin signaling in adipocyte, likely through modulating the internalization of IR..

Jing Gao, Akiko Mizokami, Hiroshi Takeuchi, Ejiro Jimi and Masato Hirata, インスリン受容体基質のリン酸化制御におけるPRIPの役割, 2017年度生命科学系学会合同年次大会, 2017.12, Numerous studies have demonstrated a reduced activity of insulin signaling, but the molecular mechanism of triggering events remains incompletely understood. We previously reported that PRIP (phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein) interacts with Akt, the center molecule of insulin signaling pathway. In the present study, we investigated whether PRIP is involved in the regulation of insulin signaling. We found that the phosphorylation of of Akt and even upstream molecules, IR (insulin receptor) and IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate) were inhibited in PRIP-KO (Knockout) MEFs (mouse embryonic fibroblasts), and that glucose uptake was inhibited in adipocytes differentiated from PRIP-KO MEF, indicating insulin insensitivity in PRIP-KO cells. We further examined the serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 which inhibits insulin signaling. We found that insulin triggered more phosphorylation of Ser1101 of IRS-1 in PRIP-KO MEF than WT, and that dephosphorylation process of Ser1101 of IRS-1 was blocked by calyculin A, an inhibitor for the protein phosphatase1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A). Furthermore, we detected the interaction of IRS-1 and PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) using in situ Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) in WT MEF cells, which was diminished in PRIP-KO cells. Combined with our previous finding that PRIP binds to PP2Ac, we speculate that serine phosphorylation of IRS was enhanced due to the decreased dephosphorylation process in PRIP-KO MEF, which in turn inhibited insulin signaling. These results suggest that PRIP is involved in the regulation of insulin signaling, likely through modulating serine phosphorylation of IRS-1..

Jing Gao, Akiko Mizokami, Masato Hirata, Phospholipase C-related but Catalytically Inactive Protein, PRIP is involved in the regulation of insulin signaling via IRS-1/Akt pathway by modulating serine phosphorylation of IRS-1, 2016 American Society for Cell Biology Annual Meeting, 2016.12, [URL], Insulin resistance is strongly associated with obesity and other symptoms related to the metabolic syndrome (MS). Numerous studies using insulin-resistant animal models and humans have consistently demonstrated a reduced activity of insulin signaling via the insulin receptor substrate (IRS-1)/phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase/Akt pathway, but the molecular mechanism of triggering events remains incompletely understood. We previously reported that PRIP (phospholipase C-related but catalytically inactive protein) interacts with Akt, the center molecule of insulin signaling pathway. In the present study, we investigated whether PRIP is involved in the regulation of insulin signaling using mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) from wild type (WT) and PRIP-Knockout (KO) mice. We found that the phosphorylation of Thr308 and Ser473 of Akt and tyrosine phosphorylation of even upstream molecules, IR (insulin receptor) and IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate-1) were inhibited in MEF cells from PRIP-KO mice, and that glucose uptake was also inhibited in adipocytes differentiated from PRIP-KO MEF, indicating insulin insensitivity in PRIP-KO cells. We then investigated how the insulin signaling via the IR/IRS-1/Akt pathway was inhibited in PRIP-KO MEF cells. Since serine phosphorylation of IRS proteins inhibits insulin signaling, we further examined the serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 using MEF cells. We found that stimulation of PRIP-KO MEF with insulin for 30 min triggered more phosphorylation of Ser1101 of IRS-1 than WT, and that the dephosphorylation process of Ser1101 of IRS-1 after insulin stimulation in MEF cells from WT mice was blocked by calyculin A, an inhibitor for the protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Furthermore, we detected the interaction of IRS-1 and protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac), but not PP1 and PP2A subunit A using in situ Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) in WT MEF cells, whereas PLA signals was dramatically diminished in PRIP-KO cells. Based on these results and our previous finding that PRIP binds with PP2Ac, we speculated that serine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was enhanced due to the decreased dephosphorylation process in PRIP-KO MEF cells compared to WT cells, which in turn inhibited the IRS-1/PI3K/Akt insulin signaling. Collectively, these results suggest that PRIP is involved in the regulation of insulin signaling, likely through modulating the serine phosphorylation of IRS-1.
