loss of myosin vb promotes apical bulk endocytosis in neonatal enterocytes
Journal of Cell Biology, 2019Co-Authors: Amy C Engevik, Matthew J Tyska, Izumi Kaji, Meagan M Postema, James J Faust, Anne R Meyer, Janice A Williams, Gillian N Fitz, Jean M Wilson, James R GoldenringAbstract:In patients with inactivating mutations in myosin Vb (Myo5B), enterocytes show large inclusions lined by microvilli. The origin of inclusions in small-intestinal enterocytes in microvillus inclusion disease is currently unclear. We postulated that inclusions in Myo5b KO mouse enterocytes form through invagination of the apical brush border membrane. 70-kD FITC-dextran added apically to Myo5b KO intestinal explants accumulated in intracellular inclusions. Live imaging of Myo5b KO-derived enteroids confirmed the formation of inclusions from the apical membrane. Treatment of intestinal explants and enteroids with Dyngo resulted in accumulation of inclusions at the apical membrane. Inclusions in Myo5b KO enterocytes contained VAMP4 and Pacsin 2 (Syndapin 2). Myo5b;Pacsin 2 double-KO mice showed a significant decrease in inclusion formation. Our results suggest that apical bulk endocytosis in Myo5b KO enterocytes resembles activity-dependent bulk endocytosis, the primary mechanism for synaptic vesicle uptake during intense neuronal stimulation. Thus, apical bulk endocytosis mediates the formation of inclusions in neonatal Myo5b KO enterocytes.

structure of myo7b ush1c complex suggests a general pdz domain binding mode by myth4 ferm myosins
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017Co-Authors: Jianchao Li, Yunyun He, Meredith L Weck, Qing Lu, Matthew J Tyska, Mingjie ZhangAbstract:Unconventional myosin 7a (Myo7a), myosin 7b (Myo7b), and myosin 15a (Myo15a) all contain MyTH4-FERM domains (myosin tail homology 4-band 4.1, ezrin, radixin, moesin; MF) in their cargo binding tails and are essential for the growth and function of microvilli and stereocilia. Numerous mutations have been identified in the MyTH4-FERM tandems of these myosins in patients suffering visual and hearing impairment. Although a number of MF domain binding partners have been identified, the molecular basis of interactions with the C-terminal MF domain (CMF) of these myosins remains poorly understood. Here we report the high-resolution crystal structure of Myo7b CMF in complex with the extended PDZ3 domain of USH1C (a.k.a., Harmonin), revealing a previously uncharacterized interaction mode both for MyTH4-FERM tandems and for PDZ domains. We predicted, based on the structure of the Myo7b CMF/USH1C PDZ3 complex, and verified that Myo7a CMF also binds to USH1C PDZ3 using a similar mode. The structure of the Myo7b CMF/USH1C PDZ complex provides mechanistic explanations for >20 deafness-causing mutations in Myo7a CMF. Taken together, these findings suggest that binding to PDZ domains, such as those from USH1C, PDZD7, and Whirlin, is a common property of CMFs of Myo7a, Myo7b, and Myo15a.

impact of the motor and tail domains of class iii myosins on regulating the formation and elongation of actin protrusions
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016Co-Authors: Manmeet H Raval, Bechara Kachar, Omar A Quintero, Meredith L Weck, Matthew J Tyska, William C Unrath, James W Gallagher, Runjia Cui, Christopher M YengoAbstract:Abstract Class III myosins (MYO3A and MYO3B) are proposed to function as transporters as well as length and ultrastructure regulators within stable actin-based protrusions such as stereocilia and calycal processes. MYO3A differs from MYO3B in that it contains an extended tail domain with an additional actin-binding motif. We examined how the properties of the motor and tail domains of human class III myosins impact their ability to enhance the formation and elongation of actin protrusions. Direct examination of the motor and enzymatic properties of human MYO3A and MYO3B revealed that MYO3A is a 2-fold faster motor with enhanced ATPase activity and actin affinity. A chimera in which the MYO3A tail was fused to the MYO3B motor demonstrated that motor activity correlates with formation and elongation of actin protrusions. We demonstrate that removal of individual exons (30–34) in the MYO3A tail does not prevent filopodia tip localization but abolishes the ability to enhance actin protrusion formation and elongation in COS7 cells. Interestingly, our results demonstrate that MYO3A slows filopodia dynamics and enhances filopodia lifetime in COS7 cells. We also demonstrate that MYO3A is more efficient than MYO3B at increasing formation and elongation of stable microvilli on the surface of cultured epithelial cells. We propose that the unique features of MYO3A, enhanced motor activity, and an extended tail with tail actin-binding motif, allow it to play an important role in stable actin protrusion length and ultrastructure maintenance.

myosin 1a targets to microvilli using multiple membrane binding motifs in the tail homology 1 th1 domain
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012Co-Authors: Jessica N Mazerik, Matthew J TyskaAbstract:One of the most abundant components of the enterocyte brush border is the actin-based monomeric motor, myosin-1a (Myo1a). Within brush border microvilli, Myo1a carries out a number of critical functions at the interface between membrane and actin cytoskeleton. Proper physiological function of Myo1a depends on its ability to bind to microvillar membrane, an interaction mediated by a C-terminal tail homology 1 (TH1) domain. However, little is known about the mechanistic details of the Myo1a-TH1/membrane interaction. Structure-function analysis of Myo1a-TH1 targeting in epithelial cells revealed that an N-terminal motif conserved among class I myosins and a C-terminal motif unique to Myo1a-TH1 are both required for steady state microvillar enrichment. Purified Myo1a bound to liposomes composed of phosphatidylserine and phosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, with moderate affinity in a charge-dependent manner. Additionally, peptides of the N- and C-terminal regions required for targeting were able to compete with Myo1a for binding to highly charged liposomes in vitro. Single molecule total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy showed that these motifs are also necessary for slowing the membrane detachment rate in cells. Finally, Myo1a-TH1 co-localized with both lactadherin-C2 (a phosphatidylserine-binding protein) and PLCδ1-PH (a phosphoinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-binding protein) in microvilli, but only lactaderin-C2 expression reduced brush border targeting of Myo1a-TH1. Together, our results suggest that Myo1a targeting to microvilli is driven by membrane binding potential that is distributed throughout TH1 rather than localized to a single motif. These data highlight the diversity of mechanisms that enable different class I myosins to target membranes in distinct biological contexts.

myosin va mutation in rats is an animal model for the human hereditary neurological disease griscelli syndrome type 1
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006Co-Authors: Yoshiko Takagishi, Yoshiharu MurataAbstract:A spontaneous neurological mutation, dilute-opisthotonus (dop), was discovered in our breeding colony of Wistar rats. We found that the mutation affected the gene encoding Myosin Va (MyoVA), an actin-based molecular motor. Analysis of the myosin Va (MYO5A) gene of the dop genome showed the presence of a complex rearrangement consisting of a 306-bp inversion associated with 217-bp and 17-bp deletions. A 141-bp exon is skipped in the dop transcript, producing a dop cDNA with a 141 in-frame deletion in the sequences encoding the head region. Expression of the MyoVA protein is severely impaired in the brains of dop homozygous rats, suggesting they have a null mutation for MYO5A. In a morphological analysis of the cerebella of dop rats, we found an absence of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) receptors in the dendritic spines of Purkinje cells (PC). The SER acts as an intracellular Ca(2+) store and IP3-mediated Ca(2+) signaling in dendritic spines plays a critical role in synaptic regulation. We therefore measured synaptic transmission and long-term depression (LTD), a form of synaptic plasticity underlying cerebellar motor learning, at PC synapses in the cerebella of dop rats. We found that synaptic transmission at the PC synapses is largely normal, whereas the LTD is deficient due to a decrease in IP3-mediated Ca(2+) release from the SER in the PC spines of the dop cerebella. These findings may account for the ataxic movements and clonic convulsions displayed by dop rats. They also contribute to our understanding of the neurological disease mechanisms of the human hereditary disease Griscelli syndrome type 1, which is caused by mutation of the MYO5A gene.

identification of a novel myosin va mutation in an ataxic mutant rat dilute opisthotonus
Mammalian Genome, 2000Co-Authors: Sugiko Futaki, Yoshiko Takagishi, Yoshitaka Hayashi, Sachiko Ohmori, Yasuhiko Kanou, Minoru Inouye, Yukio Iwaikawa, Yoshiharu MurataAbstract:Mutations of the myosin-Va gene (MYO5A) cause diluted coat color in mice and are occasionally associated with severe neurological disorders. Dilute-opisthotonus (dop) is a spontaneous gene mutation in the rat, and phenotypes of the homozygote (dop/dop) are similar to those of the MYO5A-deficient mouse, suggesting that the mutation resides in the rat MYO5A gene. To elucidate the molecular basis of the dop mutation, we cloned the rat MYO5A cDNA from the wild type and the dop/dop. The wild-type rat MYO5A cDNA contained a 5487-bp ORF and showed higher homology with MYO5A of the other species than Myr6 (Myo5b) in the rat. A 141-bp in-frame deletion was detected in the head region in the dop cDNA. An intragenic rearrangement consisting of a 306-bp inversion associated with 17-bp and 217-bp deletions were identified in the MYO5A gene of the dop genome. This rearrangement involved a 141-bp exon, which was skipped in the dop transcript. The MyoVA protein expression was severely impaired in the dop/dop brain. This is the first report to define the dop mutation as the MYO5A gene abnormality in the rat.

myosin va interacts with the exosomal protein spermine synthase
Bioscience Reports, 2019Co-Authors: Luciano G Dolce, Jackeline S. Araujo, Rui M P Da Silvajunior, Leandro H P Assis, A F Z Nascimento, I P Meschede, Enilza Maria Espreafico, Priscila Oliveira De Giuseppe, Mario T MurakamiAbstract:Myosin Va (MyoVa) is an actin-based molecular motor that plays key roles in the final stages of secretory pathways, including neurotransmitter release. Several studies have addressed how MyoVa coordinates the trafficking of secretory vesicles, but why this molecular motor is found in exosomes is still unclear. In this work, using a yeast two-hybrid screening system, we identified the direct interaction between the globular tail domain (GTD) of MyoVa and four protein components of exosomes: the WD repeat-containing protein 48 (WDR48), the cold shock domain-containing protein E1 (CSDE1), the tandem C2 domain-containing protein 1 (TC2N), and the enzyme spermine synthase (SMS). The interaction between the GTD of MyoVa and SMS was further validated in vitro and displayed a Kd in the low micromolar range (3.5 ± 0.5 µM). SMS localized together with MyoVa in cytoplasmic vesicles of breast cancer MCF-7 and neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell lines, known to produce exosomes. Moreover, MYO5A knockdown decreased the expression of SMS gene and rendered the distribution of SMS protein diffuse, supporting a role for MyoVa in SMS expression and targeting.

the molecular motor myosin va interacts with the cilia centrosomal protein rpgrip1l
Scientific Reports, 2017Co-Authors: Leandro H P Assis, Luciano G Dolce, Rui M P Da Silvajunior, A F Z Nascimento, Marcos Rodrigo Alborghetti, Rodrigo V Honorato, Talita Diniz Melohanchuk, Daniel M Trindade, Celisa C C Tonoli, C T SantosAbstract:Myosin Va (MyoVa) is an actin-based molecular motor abundantly found at the centrosome. However, the role of MyoVa at this organelle has been elusive due to the lack of evidence on interacting partners or functional data. Herein, we combined yeast two-hybrid screen, biochemical studies and cellular assays to demonstrate that MyoVa interacts with RPGRIP1L, a cilia-centrosomal protein that controls ciliary signaling and positioning. MyoVa binds to the C2 domains of RPGRIP1L via residues located near or in the Rab11a-binding site, a conserved site in the globular tail domain (GTD) from class V myosins. According to proximity ligation assays, MyoVa and RPGRIP1L can interact near the cilium base in ciliated RPE cells. Furthermore, we showed that RPE cells expressing dominant-negative constructs of MyoVa are mostly unciliated, providing the first experimental evidence about a possible link between this molecular motor and cilia-related processes.
