Many signaling, cytoskeletal, and transport proteins have to be localized to the plasma membrane (PM) in order to carry out their function. We surveyed PM-targeting mechanisms by imaging the subcellular localization of 125 fluorescent protein-conjugated Ras, Rab, Arf, and Rho proteins. Out of 48 proteins that were PM-localized, 37 contained clusters of positively charged amino acids. To test whether these polybasic clusters bind negatively charged phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] lipids, we developed a chemical phosphatase activation method to deplete PM PI(4,5)P2. Unexpectedly, proteins with polybasic clusters dissociated from the PM only when both PI(4,5)P2 and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] were depleted, arguing that both lipid second messengers jointly regulate PM targeting.
许多信号转导、细胞骨架和转运蛋白必须定位于质膜(PM)才能发挥其功能。我们通过对125种荧光蛋白偶联的Ras、Rab、Arf和Rho蛋白的亚细胞定位进行成像,研究了质膜靶向机制。在48种定位于质膜的蛋白中,有37种含有带正电荷的氨基酸簇。为了测试这些多碱性簇是否结合带负电荷的磷脂酰肌醇4,5-二磷酸[PI(4,5)P2]脂质,我们开发了一种化学磷酸酶激活方法来耗尽质膜PI(4,5)P2。出乎意料的是,只有当PI(4,5)P2和磷脂酰肌醇3,4,5-三磷酸[PI(3,4,5)P3]都被耗尽时,带有多碱性簇的蛋白才会从质膜上解离,这表明这两种脂质第二信使共同调节质膜靶向。
