“…To map interacting domains within the binding partners, we analyzed the interaction between PP1␥1 and mGluR C termini in yeast cells by the ability of transformants to grow on selective media upon activation of His3 and LacZ reporter genes. The complete C termini of mGluR1a, mGluR5a, and mGluR5b showed transactivation of the reporter genes, which had been also noticed by other groups (21,25). Therefore, we used C-terminally truncated constructs for our studies (see stars in Fig.…”

The modulation of neurotransmitter receptors by kinases and phosphatases represents a key mechanism in controlling synaptic signal transduction. However, molecular determinants involved in the specific targeting and interactions of these enzymes are largely unknown. Here, we identified both catalytic ␥-isoforms of protein phosphatase 1C (PP1␥1 and PP1␥2) as binding partners of the group I metabotropic glutamate receptors type 1a, 5a, and 5b in yeast cells and pull-down assays, using recombinant and native protein preparations. The tissue distribution of interacting proteins was compared, and protein phosphatase 1C was detected in dendrites of retinal bipolar cells expressing the respective interacting glutamate receptors. We mapped interacting domains within binding partners and identified five amino acids in the intracellular C termini of the metabotropic glutamate receptors type 1a, 5a, 5b, and 7b being both necessary and sufficient to bind protein phosphatase 1C. Furthermore, we show a dose-dependent competition of these C termini in binding the enzyme. Based on our data, we investigated the structure of the identified amino acids bound to protein phosphatase 1C by homology-based molecular modeling. In summary, these results provide a molecular description of the interaction between protein phosphatase 1C and metabotropic glutamate receptors and thereby increase our understanding of glutamatergic signal transduction.The correct targeting and localization of proteins to synaptic specializations represents an important biological mechanism to regulate neuronal excitability. Increasing evidence underlines the importance of macromolecular signaling complexes, where functionally related proteins such as ion channels, neurotransmitters receptors, kinases, and phosphatases are arranged in close vicinity and are physically anchored to the synaptic cytoskeleton. Therefore, identification and characterization of interactions between synaptically localized proteins adds substantially to our understanding of molecular mechanisms of neurotransmission.Receptors for glutamate are divided in ion channel-associated (ionotropic) receptors of the AMPA-, Kainate-, and NMDAtype and in G-protein coupled (metabotropic) receptors. Although ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate fast synaptic transmission, metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) 1 modulate neuronal excitability and development, synaptic plasticity, transmitter release, and memory function using a variety of intracellular second messenger systems (1). The eight known members of this protein family are sub-divided into three groups, based on sequence homology, associated second messenger systems, and pharmacological properties (2). mGluR1 and mGluR5 (group I) stimulate phospholipase C, are selectively activated by quisqualate, and are generally expressed perisynaptically at postsynaptic sites (3-7). mGluR2 and mGluR3 (group II) are negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase and do not show a specific preference for pre-or postsynaptic neurons (8 -10). mGluR4, mGluR7, and...

“…In many cases the negative signaling is due to a caspase-mediated cleavage of the receptor C-terminal domain (CTD) which either releases a pro-apoptotic C-terminal receptor fragment (Bordeaux et al, 2000;Llambi et al, 2001), or exposes a pro-apoptotic region that presumably remains bound to the cell membrane (Mehlen et al, 1998;Forcet et al, 2001;Thibert et al, 2003). While a specific cleavage of the mGlu1 CDT has not been described, it should be pointed out that a sequence analysis of the long CTD of the mGlu1a splice variant reveals six putative caspase cleavage sites, as well as multiple sequences that may potentially interact with a variety of intracellular proteins including: seven in absentia homolog-1A (Siah-1A) and calmodulin (Ishikawa et al, 1999;Kammermeier and Ikeda, 2001), G-proteincoupled receptor kinases (Dale et al, 2000), alpha-tubulin (Ciruela et al, 1999), tamalin/ cytohesin complex (Kitano et al, 2002), homer proteins (Brakeman et al, 1997;Tu et al, 1999), protein phosphatase 1C (Croci et al, 2003), protein kinase C, regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins, Src-family protein tyrosine kinase and arrestins (Valenti et al, 2002;Hermans and Challiss, 2001). Therefore, the mGlu1 CTD is well equipped to participate and interfere in various intracellular signaling processes.…”

Dual neurotoxic and neuroprotective role of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 in conditions of trophic deprivation – Possible role as a dependence receptor

et al. 2008

Group-I metabotropic glutamate receptors have been often implicated in various models of neuronal toxicity, however, the role played by the individual receptors and their putative mechanisms of action contributing to neurotoxicity or neuroprotection remain unclear. Here, using primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells and mouse cortical neurons, we show that conditions of trophic deprivation increased mGlu1 expression which correlated with the developing cell death. The inhibition of mGlu1 expression by specific siRNA attenuated toxicity, while adenovirus-mediated overexpression of mGlu1 resulted in increased cell death, indicating a causal relationship between the level of receptor expression and neuronal survival. In pharmacological experiments selective mGlu1 antagonists failed to protect from mGlu1-induced cell death, instead, neuronal survival was promoted by glutamate acting at mGlu1 receptors. Such properties are characteristic of a novel heterogeneous family of dependence receptors which control neuronal apoptosis. Our findings indicate that increased expression of mGlu1 in neurons creates a state of cellular dependence on the presence of its endogenous agonist glutamate. We propose a new role and a new mechanism for mGlu1 action. This receptor may play a crucial role in determining the fate of individual neurons during the development of the nervous system.

“…10 The structure of GRASP PDZ domain from Rattus norvegicus was previously determined by Sugi et al in three different forms: The PDZ domain alone, with C-terminal extensions representing the C-termini of GRASP itself, and of mGluR5. 11 Interestingly, in their structure with the C-terminus of GRASP (''auto-inhibited" structure) two of the four molecules in the asymmetric unit displayed an unusual ''perpendicular,'' noncanonical, mode of binding in which only the C-terminal P0 residue was bound in the binding groove.…”

Unusual binding interactions in PDZ domain crystal structures help explain binding mechanisms

et al. 2010

PDZ domains most commonly bind the C-terminus of their protein targets. Typically the C-terminal four residues of the protein target are considered as the binding motif, particularly the C-terminal residue (P0) and third-last residue (P-2) that form the major contacts with the PDZ domain's ''binding groove''. We solved crystal structures of seven human PDZ domains, including five of the seven PDLIM family members. The structures of GRASP, PDLIM2, PDLIM5, and PDLIM7 show a binding mode with only the C-terminal P0 residue bound in the binding groove. Importantly, in some cases, the P-2 residue formed interactions outside of the binding groove, providing insight into the influence of residues remote from the binding groove on selectivity. In the GRASP structure, we observed both canonical and noncanonical binding in the two molecules present in the asymmetric unit making a direct comparison of these binding modes possible. In addition, structures of the PDZ domains from PDLIM1 and PDLIM4 also presented here allow comparison with canonical binding for the PDLIM PDZ domain family. Although influenced by crystal packing arrangements, the structures nevertheless show that changes in the positions of PDZ domain side-chains and the aB helix allow noncanonical binding interactions.
