a flippase independent function of atp8b1 the protein affected in familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 is required for apical protein expression and microvillus formation in polarized epithelial cells
Hepatology, 2010Co-Authors: Patricia M Verhulst, Lieke M. Van Der Velden, Roderick H.j. Houwen, Ernst E. Van Faassen, Joost C. M. Holthuis, Thomas Günther Pomorski, Viola Oorschot, Judith Klumperman, Leo W. J. KlompAbstract:Mutations in ATP8B1 cause familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1, a spectrum of disorders characterized by intrahepatic cholestasis, reduced growth, deafness, and diarrhea. ATP8B1 belongs to the P4 P-type adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) family of putative aminophospholipid translocases, and loss of aminophospholipid asymmetry in the canalicular membranes of ATP8B1-deficient liver cells has been proposed as the primary cause of impaired bile salt excretion. To explore the origin of the hepatic and extrahepatic symptoms associated with ATP8B1 deficiency, we investigated the impact of ATP8B1 depletion on the domain-specific aminophospholipid translocase activities and polarized organization of polarized epithelial Caco-2 cells. Caco-2 cells were stably transfected with short hairpin RNA constructs to block ATP8B1 expression. Aminophospholipid translocase activity was assessed using spin-labeled phospholipids. The polarized organization of these cells was determined by Pulse-Chase Analysis, cell-fractionation, immunocytochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy. ATP8B1 was abundantly expressed in the apical membrane of Caco-2 cells, and its expression was markedly induced during differentiation and polarization. Blocking ATP8B1 expression by RNA interference (RNAi) affected neither aminophospholipid transport nor the asymmetrical distribution of aminophospholipids across the apical bilayer. Nonetheless, ATP8B1-depleted Caco-2 cells displayed profound perturbations in apical membrane organization, including a disorganized apical actin cytoskeleton, a loss in microvilli, and a posttranscriptional defect in apical protein expression. Conclusion: Our findings point to a critical role of ATP8B1 in apical membrane organization that is unrelated to its presumed aminophospholipid translocase activity, yet potentially relevant for the development of cholestasis and the manifestation of extrahepatic features associated with ATP8B1 deficiency.

assembly and secretion of very low density lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein b48 in transfected mca rh7777 cells lack of evidence that palmitoylation of apolipoprotein b48 is required for lipoprotein secretion
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003Co-Authors: Jelena Vukmirica, Jing Shan, Brooke A. Miskie, Jane Yuan, Khai Tran, Robert A. Hegele, Xiquan Liang, Marilyn D Resh, Zemin YaoAbstract:Abstract We examined the role of S-linked palmitoylation of human apolipoprotein (apo) B in the assembly and secretion of very low density lipoproteins using recombinant human apoB48. There are four free cysteine residues (Cys1085, Cys1396, Cys1478, and Cys1635) within apoB48 that potentially can be palmitoylated. All four cysteine residues were substituted with serine by site-specific mutagenesis. The mutant protein was expressed in transfected rat hepatoma McA-RH7777 cells. Metabolic labeling of the stably transfected cells with iodopalmitic acid analog showed that the mutant apoB48 lacked palmitoylation. The lack of palmitoylation had little impact on the ability of apoB48 to assemble and secrete very low density lipoproteins or high density lipoproteins. Immunocytochemistry experiments using confocal microscopy failed to reveal any major alterations in the intracellular distribution of the mutant apoB48 at steady state. Pulse-Chase Analysis combined with subcellular fractionation showed no apparent deficiency in the movement of the mutant apoB48 protein from the endoplasmic reticulum tocis/medial Golgi. However, the mutant apoB48 lacking palmitoylation showed retarded movement toward the distal Golgi and increased association (>2-fold) with the membranes of the secretory compartments. A marginal decrease (by 15–20%) in secretion efficiency as compared with that of wild type apoB48 was also observed. These results suggest that lack of palmitoylation may influence the partitioning of apoB48 between microsomal membranes and microsomal lumen, but it does not compromise the ability of apoB48 to assemble lipoproteins.

a novel nontruncating apob gene mutation r463w causes familial hypobetalipoproteinemia
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003Co-Authors: John R. Burnett, Jing Shan, Brooke A. Miskie, Jane Yuan, Khai Tran, Robert A. Hegele, Amanda Whitfield, James C Mcknight, Zemin YaoAbstract:Abstract Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL), an autosomal co-dominant disorder, is associated with reduced plasma concentrations (<5th percentile for age and sex) of apolipoprotein (apo) B and β-migrating lipoproteins. To date, only mutations inAPOB encoding prematurely truncated apoB have been found in FHBL. We discovered a novel APOB gene mutation, namely R463W, in an extended Christian Lebanese FHBL kindred. Heterozygotes for R463W had the typical FHBL phenotype, whereas homozygotes had barely detectable apoB-100. The effect of the R463W mutation on apoB secretion was examined using transfected McA-RH7777 cells that expressed one of two recombinant human apoBs, namely B48 and B17. In both cases, the mutant proteins (B48RW and B17RW) were retained within the endoplasmic reticulum and were secreted poorly compared with their wild-type counterparts. Pulse-Chase Analysis showed that secretion efficiencies of B48RW and B17RW were, respectively, 45 and 40% lower than those of the wild-types. Substitution of Arg463 with Ala in apoB-17 (B17RA) decreased secretion efficiency by ∼50%, but substitution with Lys (B17RK) had no effect on secretion, indicating that the positive charge was important. Molecular modeling of apoB predicted that Arg463 was in close proximity to Glu756 and Asp456. Substitution of Glu756 with Gln (B17EQ) had no effect on secretion, but substitution of Asp456 with Asn (B17DN) decreased secretion to the same extent as B17RW. In co-transfection experiments, the mutant B17RW showed increased binding to microsomal triglyceride transfer protein as compared with wild-type B17. Thus, the naturally occurring R463W mutant reveals a key local domain governing assembly and secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins.
