Phosphorylation of claudin-2 on serine 208 promotes membrane retention and reduces trafficking to lysosomes.

چکیده
Claudins are critical components of epithelial and endothelial tight junction seals, but their post-transcriptional regulation remains poorly understood. Several studies have implicated phosphorylation in control of claudin localisation and/or function, but these have focused on single sites or pathways with differing results, so that it has been difficult to draw general functional conclusions. In this study, we used mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of purified claudin-2 from MDCK II cells and found that the cytoplasmic tail is multiply phosphorylated on serines, a threonine and tyrosines. Phos-tag SDS PAGE revealed that one site, S208, is heavily constitutively phosphorylated in MDCK II cells and in mouse kidney; this site was targeted for further study. Mutational analysis revealed that the phosphomimetic mutant of claudin-2, S208E, was preferentially localised to the plasma membrane while claudin-2 S208A, which could not be phosphorylated at this site, both immunolocalized and co-fractionated with lysosomal markers. Mutations at sites that were previously reported to interfere with plasma membrane targeting of claudin-2 reduced phosphorylation at S208, suggesting that membrane localisation is required for phosphorylation; however phosphorylation at S208 did not affect binding to ZO-1 or ZO-2 Administration of forskolin or PGE2 resulted in dephosphorylation at S208 and transient small increases in transepithelial electrical resistance (TER). Together these data are consistent with phosphorylation at S208 playing a major role in the retention of claudin-2 at the plasma membrane.

A phosphorylation-regulated brake mechanism controls the initial endocytosis of opioid receptors but is not required for post-endocytic sorting to lysosomes.
The delta-opioid receptor (DOR) can undergo proteolytic down-regulation by endocytosis of receptors followed by sorting of internalized receptors to lysosomes. Although phosphorylation of the receptor is thought to play an important role in controlling receptor down-regulation, previous studies disagree on whether phosphorylation is actually required for the agonist-induced endocytosis of opioi...
متن کاملClaudin-4 is required for AMPK-modulated paracellular permeability in submandibular gland cells.
Tight junction plays an important role in mediating paracellular permeability in epithelia. We previously found that activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) increased saliva secretion by modulating paracellular permeability in submandibular glands. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying AMPK-modulated paracellular permeability are unknown. In this study, we found that AICAR, an ...
متن کاملThe human immunodeficiency virus coat protein gp120 promotes forward trafficking and surface clustering of NMDA receptors in membrane microdomains.
Infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can result in debilitating neurological syndromes collectively known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. Although the HIV coat protein gp120 has been identified as a potent neurotoxin that enhances NMDA receptor function, the exact mechanisms for this effect are not known. Here we provide evidence that gp120 activates two separate sign...
متن کاملTyrosine Binding Protein Sites Regulate the Intracellular Trafficking and Processing of Amyloid Precursor Protein through a Novel Lysosome-Directed Pathway
The amyloid hypothesis posits that the production of β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates leads to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline associated with AD. Aβ is produced by sequential cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretase. While nascent APP is well known to transit to the endosomal/ lysosomal system via the cell surface, we have recently shown that APP can also traffic ...
متن کاملThe phosphorylation of caveolin-2 on serines 23 and 36 modulates caveolin-1-dependent caveolae formation.
Caveolin-1 and -2 are the two major coat proteins found in plasma membrane caveolae of most of cell types. Here, by using adenoviral transduction of either caveolin-1 or caveolin-2 or both isoforms into cells lacking both caveolins, we demonstrate that caveolin-2 positively regulates caveolin-1-dependent caveolae formation. More importantly, we show that caveolin-2 is phosphorylated in vivo at ...
