Energetic efficiency of the catalytic cycle is secured by a two-electron and two-proton bifurcation reaction leading to oxidation of QH<sub>2</sub> and reduction of the Rieske cluster and heme b<sub>L</sub>. The proton paths associated with this reaction remain elusive. Here, we used site-directed mutagenesis and quantum mechanical calculations to analyze the contribution of protonable side chains located at the heme b<sub>L</sub> side of the QH<sub>2</sub> oxidation site in Rhodobacter capsulatus cytochrome bc<sub>1</sub>. We observe that the proton path is effectively switched off when H276 and E295 are simultaneously mutated to the nonprotonable residues in the H276F/E295V double mutant. The two single mutants, H276F or E295V, are less efficient but still transfer protons at functionally relevant rates. Natural selection exposed two single mutations, N279S and M154T, that restored the functional proton transfers in H276F/E295V. Quantum mechanical calculations indicated that H276F/E295V traps the side chain of Y147 in a position distant from QH<sub>2</sub>, whereas either N279S or M154T induce local changes releasing Y147 from that position. This shortens the distance between the protonable groups of Y147 and D278 and/or increases mobility of the Y147 side chain, which makes Y147 efficient in transferring protons from QH<sub>2</sub> toward D278 in H276F/E295V.

In addition to plasmin, the tcuPA can activate scuPA by cleavage at K158, a process called autoactivation. Unexpectedly, tcuPA can cleave at position 158 even when this site is mutated. TcuPA can also cleave scuPA after K135 or K136 in the disordered linker, which generates the soluble protease domain of uPA. Plasmin cleaves scuPA exclusively after K158 and at a faster rate than tcuPA. We propose a mechanism by which the uPA receptor dimerization could promote autoactivation of scuPA on cell surfaces.

We recently identified a biased M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) ligand, PD 102807, that induces GRK-/arrestin-dependent AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation to inhibit transforming growth factor-β-induced hypercontractile ASM phenotype. Conversely, the balanced mAChR agonist, methacholine (MCh), activates AMPK yet does not regulate ASM phenotype. In the current study, we demonstrate that PD 102807- and MCh-induced AMPK activation both depend on Ca<sup>2+</sup>/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinases (CaMKKs). However, MCh-induced AMPK activation is calcium-dependent and mediated by CaMKK1 and CaMKK2 isoforms. In contrast, PD 102807-induced signaling is calcium-independent and mediated by the atypical subtype protein kinase C-iota and the CaMKK1 (but not CaMKK2) isoform. Both MCh- and PD 102807-induced AMPK activation involve the AMPK α1 isoform. PD 102807-induced AMPK α1 (but not AMPK α2) isoform activation mediates inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in ASM cells, as demonstrated by increased Raptor (regulatory-associated protein of mTOR) phosphorylation as well as inhibition of phospho-S6 protein and serum response element-luciferase activity. The mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin and the AMPK activator metformin both mimic the ability of PD 102807 to attenuate transforming growth factor-β-induced α-smooth muscle actin expression (a marker of hypercontractile ASM). These data indicate that PD 102807 transduces a signaling pathway (AMPK-mediated mTORC1 inhibition) qualitatively distinct from canonical M3 mAChR signaling to prevent pathogenic remodeling of ASM, thus demonstrating PD 102807 is a biased M3 mAChR ligand with therapeutic potential for the management of obstructive airway disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":22621,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"105209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10520882/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10499782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior studies have shown that the addition of α2,6 sialic acid to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activates this receptor, although the mechanism was largely unknown. To investigate the role of ST6GAL1 in EGFR activation, ST6GAL1 was overexpressed in the OV4 ovarian cancer line, which lacks endogenous ST6GAL1, or knocked-down in the OVCAR-3 and OVCAR-5 ovarian cancer lines, which have robust ST6GAL1 expression. Cells with high expression of ST6GAL1 displayed increased activation of EGFR and its downstream signaling targets, AKT and NFκB.

Chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 have been extensively studied due to their roles in leukocyte development and inflammation and their status as coreceptors for HIV-1 infection, among other roles. Both receptors form dimers or oligomers of unclear function. While CXCR4 has been crystallized in a dimeric arrangement, available atomic resolution structures of CCR5 are monomeric. To investigate their dimerization interfaces, we used a bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC)-based screen and deep mutational scanning to find mutations that change how the receptors self-associate, either via specific oligomer assembly or alternative mechanisms of clustering in close proximity. Many disruptive mutations promoted self-associations nonspecifically, suggesting they aggregated in the membrane. A mutationally intolerant region was found on CXCR4 that matched the crystallographic dimer interface, supporting this dimeric arrangement in living cells. A mutationally intolerant region was also observed on the surface of CCR5 by transmembrane helices 3 and 4. Mutations predicted from the scan to reduce BiFC were validated and were localized in the transmembrane domains as well as the C-terminal cytoplasmic tails where they reduced lipid microdomain localization. A mutation in the dimer interface of CXCR4 had increased binding to the ligand CXCL12 and yet diminished calcium signaling. There was no change in syncytia formation with cells expressing HIV-1 Env. The data highlight that multiple mechanisms are involved in self-association of chemokine receptor chains.</p>","PeriodicalId":22621,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Biological Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"105229"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10551899/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10596318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
