Prion oligosaccharide abstracts

Prion proteins from all species sequenced so far (from human to chicken) contain a C-terminal GPI-anchor, a post-translational modification that replaces an initial hydrophobic terminus with glycosyl phophotidylinositol, serving to attach the mature protein to the outside of the cytoplasmic membrane, while allowing for later release by phospholipase. It seems likely that salmon prion will contain this modification, pushing the date of origin of this modification of prion protein back to at least 440 million years ago.

GPI-anchors are not common as a protein modification. In yeast, where all GPI proteins are known, only 15 of the 5,790 (so 1 in 400) proteins have GPI-anchors and even these have considerable homology with each other. When mammalian homologues of yeast GPI proteins are known, these have the GPI-modification as well. In such protein families, the modification has evidently been in continuous use for a billion years or more. Yeast GPI biosynthetic enzymes are likewise homologous to mammals counterparts.

GPI proteins have been found in a wide variety of eucaryotes : mammals (45 in humans), chickens (10), fish, rays, sea urchin, fruit flies (5), silk moth, ticks, grasshopper, protozoa (trypanosomes, leishmanii, paramecium), fungi, slime mold, unicellular green alga, mung bean, even herpes virus (simian surface glycoprotein), but not in bacteria, and oddly nothing reported from nematode (out of 1208 proteins).

GPI-proteins are evenly split between enzymes and binding, recognition, and transport non-catalytic proteins. This split correlates fairly strongly with whether internal tandem repeats are present (non-catalytic) or not (catalytic). A GPI-anchor unsurprisingly implies a signal peptide but by no means conversely. There is a division between O- and N-glycosylation. Identified functions are clearly appropriate to the extra-cytoplasmic location; GPI proteins are over-represented in neurons.

Human genetic disorders have been identified in five GPI proteins other than prion These include Marfan's syndrome [FBN1 gene] and Charcot-Leyden crystals [LPPL gene], alkaline phosphatase: infantile hypophosphatasia, lipoprotein lipase: chylomicronemia syndrome, and glypican-3: Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome> A defect in a GPI biosynthetic enzme causes paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

The question arises, how ancient is the GPI-anchor in prion protein, how often and which sorts of new proteins are recruited to GPI-status, how many super-families of GPI proteins exist and to which does prion protein belong, what sort of internal structural motifs occur, where are close but non-GPIhomologues located in the cell, is prion protein more likely catalytic than structural, and finally, does analysis of GPI-proteins help identify the normal function of prion protein or suggest other candidates for prionic disease?

Review of GPI-anchored membrane proteins

			
				Brown D; Waneck GL
				J Am Soc Nephrol 3: 895-906 (1992)

Many proteins of eukaryotic cells are anchored to membranes by covalent linkage to glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI). These proteins lack a transmembrane domain, have no cytoplasmic tail, and are, therefore, located exclusively on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane.

GPI-anchored proteins form a diverse family of molecules that includes membrane-associated enzymes, adhesion molecules, activation antigens, differentiation markers, protozoan coat components, and other miscellaneous glycoproteins. In the kidney, several GPI-anchored proteins have been identified, including uromodulin (Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein), carbonic anhydrase type IV, alkaline phosphatase, Thy-1, BP-3, aminopeptidase P, and dipeptidylpeptidase.

GPI-anchored proteins can be released from membranes with specific phospholipases and can be recovered from the detergent-insoluble pellet after Triton X-114 treatment of membranes. All GPI-anchored proteins are initially synthesized with a transmembrane anchor, but after translocation across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, the ecto-domain of the protein is cleaved and covalently linked to a preformed GPI anchor by a specific transamidase enzyme.

At least one human disease, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, is a result of defective GPI anchor addition to plasma membrane proteins. Although it remains obscure why so many proteins are endowed with a GPI anchor, the presence of a GPI anchor does confer some functional characteristics to proteins:

(1) it is a strong apical targeting signal in polarized epithelial cells;
(2) GPI-anchored proteins do not cluster into clathrin-coated pits but instead are concentrated into specialized lipid domains in the membrane, including so-called smooth pinocytotic vesicles, or caveoli;
(3) GPI-anchored proteins can act as activation antigens in the immune system;
(4) when the GPI anchor is cleaved by PI-phospholipase C or PI-phospholipase D, second messengers for signal transduction may be generated;
(5) the GPI anchor can modulate antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex molecules.

Identifying Lipid Anchors:

The protein modification reactions which bind lipid molecules to proteins are important because a linked lipid moiety can be integrated into various membranes and can anchor the bound protein. All proteins linked to the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) molecules are thought to be anchored at the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. PSORT recognizes GPI-anchored proteins by the knowledge that most of them are predicted to be type Ia membrane proteins with very short cytoplasmic tail (within 10 residues) and uses the result for the prediction of the localization site (plasma membrane) of the modified protein.

Cadherins are a family of animal glycoproteins responsible for calcium-
dependent cell-cell adhesion. Cadherins preferentially interact with
themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; thus acting as both
receptor and ligand. A wide number of tissue-specific forms of cadherins are
known:

- Epithelial (E-cadherin) (also known as uvomorulin or L-CAM) (CDH1).
- Neural (N-cadherin) (CDH2).
- Placental (P-cadherin) (CDH3).
- Retinal (R-cadherin) (CDH4).
- Vascular endothelial (VE-cadherin) (CDH5).
- Kidney (K-cadherin) (CDH6).
- Cadherin-8 (CDH8).
- Osteoblast (OB-cadherin) (CDH11).
- Brain (BR-cadherin) (CDH12).
- T-cadherin (truncated cadherin) (CDH13).
- Muscle (M-cadherin) (CDH14).
- Liver-intestine (LI-cadherin).
- EP-cadherin.
