Relevant sentences

Reference #2 (Narwa R et al.): E199K
  • CHO cell lines expressing PG14 , 2 D177N (Met-128) , and E199K moPrPs have been described previously (13 , 14)

  • Immunoprecipitation was performed as described previously (13) , using antibody P45-66 to recognize D177N and E199K moPrPs , and antibody 3F4 to recognize wild-type and PG14 moPrPs

  • Results For these studies , we have used stably transfected lines of CHO cells that express either wild-type moPrP or one of three different moPrP mutants: PG14 , D177N , and E199K

  • E199K is homologous to a human mutation (E200K) linked to CJD (35 , 36) Mutant PrPs Remain Partially Resistant to PIPLC after Solubilization in Nondenaturing Detergents

  • Interestingly , E199K moPrP , like the wild-type protein , was shifted almost entirely into the aqueous phase

  • We have previously observed that E199K moPrP is more readily releasable from the surface of biotinylated cells than other mutant moPrPs (50% released , compared to <5% for other mutants ; 14)

  • Again , E199K moPrP behaves in a manner different from those of the other two mutants , with all of the [3H]palmitate being removed by PIPLC , similar to the result for the wild-type protein

  • About half of the E199K molecules were released by PIPLC in a hydrophilic form that presumably lacks the GPI anchor , but those that remained on the cell surface were largely (80%) recovered in the detergent phase

  • In fact , the PG14 and E199K proteins appear to be even more PIPLC-resistant when attached to the cell membrane (Figure 4) than when solubilized in nondenaturing detergents (Figures 2 and 3) , raising the possibility that detergent extraction can modify the properties of the molecules

  • Moreover , we have noted that the proportion of mutant molecules that escapes cleavage is higher when the phospholipase is applied to intact cells than when it is added to detergent lysates ; this is especially noticeable for E199K PrP , but can be seen for PG14 also (compare Figure 4 to Figures 2 and 3)

  • E199K moPrP clearly displays biochemical properties that are distinct from those of other mutants

  • E199K is considerably more PIPLC-releasable , with 50% remaining on the surface after phospholipase treatment compared to >95% for other mutants that have been tested (14)

  • Interestingly , the E199K molecules that are not released from cells by PIPLC appear to have intact GPI anchors , as assessed by Triton X-114 partitioning (Figure 4 and ref 18)

  • Taken together , these results suggest that the E199K mutation alters the structure of the PrP molecule in a way that is different from that of some other pathogenic mutations

  • Consistent with this proposal , recent thermodynamic studies have suggested that some mutations (including D177N) significantly destabilize the structure of the molecule , while others (including E199K) do not (40-42)

  • Similarly , E199K moPrP is more detergent-soluble than other mutants when expressed in CHO cells (14 , 15)

  • These results suggest the possibility that E199K is less PIPLC-resistant because it is less aggregated

Reference #3 (Yanai A et al.): E199K
  • Wild-type PrP , wild-type capital Delta , Greek23-88 and the point mutant E199K served as controls in these experiments

  • In contrast to wt PrP and E199K , both C178A mutants remain sensitive to EndoH and do not reach the cell surface 3.4

  • As controls for these experiments , we used the wt MHM2-PrP , which behaves as classical PrP C , and the E199K mutant , which displays `prion-like' the transfection , cells were lysed in standard lysis buffer and the post-nuclear supernatants were digested with proteinase K , at the indicated concentrations (0– ; 8 small mu , Greekg / ml , 30 min , 37°C , see Fig. 2 )

  • In N2a cells , both wt PrP and the E199K construct were entirely digested at 1 small mu , Greekg / ml (data not shown) and at 3 small mu , Greekg / ml proteinase K ( Fig. 2A )

  • In CHO cells , E199K resisted proteolysis more than its wt counterpart ( Fig. 2B Surprisingly , sizeable amounts of both C178A and capital Delta , GreekC178A were detected in the cells even following incubation with 8 small mu , Greekg / ml proteinase K and thus , these mutants were both considerably As a control for the proteolytic reaction , we used PrP Sc (which resists even higher levels of proteolysis , 20 small mu , Greekg / ml , 60 min , 37°C) (Fig. 2C , lane 2) , as well as PrP C (which is entirely degraded by 3 small mu , Greekg / ml proteinase K) (Fig. 2C , lane 1)

  • Post-nuclear supernatants of CHO cells expressing MHM2-PrP ( Fig. 3A ) , E199K ( Fig. 3B ) , C178A ( Fig. 3C ) and capital Delta , GreekC178A ( Fig. 3D , E ) were incubated with 1% sarcosyl for 30 min on ice and then loaded on top of 10– ; 60% sucrose gradients containing 1% sarcosyl

  • E199K slightly sedimented through this gradient , contrasting with the MHM2 control which stayed primarily in the top 3– ; 4 fractions of the gradient

  • Interestingly , both C178A mutants sedimented to a much larger extent than E199K , as more than half of the material was found in the bottom fractions of the gradient

  • In contrast to wt PrP and E199K , both C178A mutants remain sensitive to EndoH and do not reach the cell surface To analyze the subcellular localization of the C178A mutants , we first used the diagnostic endoglycosidase EndoH (Fig. 4 )

  • We found that , while the wt constructs and the E199K mutant were efficiently labelled on the cell surface , little , if any , biotinylated C178A material was detected in these experiments

  • Both C178A mutants were considerably more resistant to proteolysis than the disease-linked mutant E199K

  • Wt MHM2 (A) , E199K (B) , C178A (C) and capital Delta , GreekC178A (D and E) were transiently expressed in CHO cells

Reference #5 (Stewart RS et al.): E199K
  • The following mutations were introduced into the wild-type PrP cDNA using polymerase chain reaction as described previously (14 ): PG11 (six-octapeptide insertion) , PG14 (eight-octapeptide insertion) , K109I / H110I , 3AV (Ala --> Val at 112 , 114 , and 117) , A116V , D177N , V179I , F197S , E199K , and V209I

  • The human homologues of the mutations are associated with the following familial prion diseases: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (PG11 , PG14 , V179I , E199K , V209I) , Gerstmann-Sträussler syndrome (A116V , F197S) , and fatal familial insomnia (D177N)

  • However , five of the pathogenic PrPs (PG11 , PG14 , D177N , F197S , and E199K) do in fact assume a protease-resistant form that resembles PrP Sc when expressed in transfected CHO and BHK cells (2 , 23 ) , 2 while three of mutants (A116V , V179I , and V209I) are protease-sensitive and display other properties characteristic of PrPC.3 This comparison makes it clear that there is no correlation between the efficiency with which a mutation promotes conversion to a PrP Sc-like state in cell culture and its potency in inducing CtmPrP

Reference #7 (Ivanova L et al.): E199K
  • We have also observed that some mutant PrP molecules , for example those carrying an E199K substitution , are expressed on the cell surface more efficiently than any of the four mutants examined here.2 Interestingly , these mutants are also less 'PrP Sc-like' in their biochemical properties (11 ) , suggesting a correlation between the effects of a mutation on the cellular localization and biochemical properties of PrP

  • Under similar conditions , enhanced PK resistance has been detected for the non-chimeric counterparts of the PrP mutants with amino acid exchanges P101L , D177N , and E199K (7 , 19 )

  • The microscopic examination revealed that the chimeric mutant proteins GFP-PrP P101L , GFP-PrP D177N , GFP-PrP T187K , GFP-PrP T187R , and GFP-PrP E199K showed no difference in localization from GFP-wtPrP (Fig. 2 C)

  • As described for their non-chimeric counterparts , the chimeras GFP-PrP P101L , GFP-PrP D177N , and GFP-PrP E199K (mouse PrPs) confirmed the expression pattern of glycosylated and secretory proteins , which could be detected predominantly in the Golgi apparatus and on the cell surface

  • To elucidate the mechanisms of neurodegeneration in these mice , we introduced five types of PrP transgene , namely one heterologous hamster , two mouse / hamster chimeric genes , and two mutants , each of which encoded PrP lacking residues 23-88 (MHM2.del23-88) or with E199K substitution (Mo.E199K) , into Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 mice

  • The transgenes included a Syrian hamster wild-type PrP gene (SHa) ; two SHa / mouse chimeric PrP genes (MH2M and MHM2) , MHM2 lacking residues 23 to 88 (MHM2.del23-88) ; and Mo.PrP gene with E199K substitution (Mo.E199K) (17 -20 )

  • The E199K substitution in Mo.E199K PrP corresponds to that found in patients with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (21 )

  • RESULTS (image)TOP (image)ABSTRACT (image)INTRODUCTION (image)EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES (image)RESULTS (image)DISCUSSION (image)REFERENCES Rescue of Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 Mice from Neurodegeneration by Mo.E199K but Not MHM2.del23-88 PrP Mutants—We introduced five types of PrP transgene (SHa , MH2M , MHM2 , MHM2.del23-88 , and Mo.E199K) into Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 and evaluated their effects on the phenotype

  • The remaining Tg / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 lines have never shown any neurological symptoms up to 24 months of age , indicating that SHa , MH2M , MHM2 , and MoE199K transgenes , but not MHM2.del23-88 , were able to rescue the Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 mice from ataxia

  • A , proportions (%) of mice without ataxia are plotted for each month after birth as follows: Prnp + / + , open triangles , n = 16 ; Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 , open circles , n = 21 ; Tg-SHa / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 , open diamonds , n = 14 ; Tg-MH2M / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 , open squares , n = 12 ; Tg-MHM2 / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 , closed circles , n = 16 ; Tg-Mo.E199K / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 , closed diamonds , n = 14 ; and Tg-MHM2.del23-88 / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 , closed squares , n = 20

  • In contrast , the Tg-SHa , Tg-MH2M , Tg-MHM2 , and Tg-Mo.E199K / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 mice showed no Purkinje cell loss (Fig. 2 , A , C , D , E , and F )

  • Purkinje cells of cerebellum sections from Prnp + / + (A) , Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 (B) , Tg-SHa / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 (C) , Tg-MH2M / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 (D) , Tg-MHM2 / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 (E) , Tg-MoE199K Prnp 0 / 0 (F) , and Tg-MHM2.del23-88 / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 (G) , mice at 20 months of age are stained with anti-spot 35 (calbindin) antibodies

  • The expression levels of the remaining three , Tg-SHa , Tg-MH2M , and Tg-Mo.E199K / Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 , appeared to be equivalent to that of wild-type mice

  • The present study showed that Mo.E199K PrP , as well as heterologous hamster and hamster / mouse chimeric PrPs , but not MHM2.del23-88 PrP , could rescue Ngsk Prnp 0 / 0 mice from Purkinje cell death

  • Mo.E199K represents the E200K substitution in human PrP , which is commonly found in patients with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (21 )

  • The successful rescue by Mo.E199K strongly indicates that the mutant retains the major aspects of normal PrP function and thus argues against a dominant-negative role for the mutant

  • Mice expressing PrP with the counterparts of the inherited CJD-linked mutations at T183A or E199K on a PrP null background did not develop any pathological signs85 , 91

  • Point and insertional mutants of PrP (PG14 , E199K , P101L , D177N , F197S) were created by removing a KpnI / XbaI fragment from DPAPB-PrP254 / pVT102U and substituting the equivalent fragment excised from previously constructed pcDNA3 plasmids carrying these mutations (24 )

  • Serial dilutions of cultures of three independent transformants (a-c) were spotted onto SD-Leu-Ura (glucose) or SG-Leu-Ura (galactose) plates as described in the legend to Fig. 1 PrP Molecules Carrying an Octapeptide Insertion , but Not One of Several Point Mutations , Fail to Suppress Bax-mediated Cell Death—We tested DPAPB-PrP molecules carrying either a point mutation (E199K , P101L , D177N , F197S) or a nine-octapeptide insertional mutation (PG14) whose human homologues are associated with inherited prion diseases (27 )

  • Cell Lines Stably transfected lines of CHO cells expressing wild-type , PG11 , and E199K moPrPs have been described previously (26-28 )

  • A , CHO cells expressing wild-type (WT) or E199K moPrPs were surface-biotinylated and then treated with PIPLC at 4 °C

  • B , CHO cells expressing wild-type (WT) or E199K moPrPs were surface-biotinylated and then treated with PIPLC at 4 °C

  • For these experiments we utilized CHO cell lines expressing two different moPrP mutants whose human homologues are associated with familial CJD (4 ): PG11 , which contains six additional copies of the N-terminal octapeptide repeat which is found in five copies in the wild-type protein , and E199K which contains a single amino acid substitution

  • E199K moPrP was particularly useful for experiments involving PIPLC treatment , since ~50% of this protein is releasable by the phospholipase (compared with <10% for the other mutants) , allowing us to analyze both released and non-released fractions (27 )

  • We have previously shown that the pool of E199K moPrP that is retained on the cell surface after PIPLC treatment is protease-resistant , whereas the released pool is protease-sensitive (27 )

  • To correlate PIPLC releasability and hydrophobicity , we subjected the released and cell-associated fractions of E199K moPrP to Triton X-114 phase partitioning

  • In contrast to E199K moPrP , wild-type moPrP was completely PIPLC releasable , detergent-soluble , and hydrophilic in Triton X-114 (Fig. 1 , A-B , lanes 1-4)

  • Introduction of the disease-linked mutation E200K into the sequence of PrP106(140 / 6His) increased the recovery of protease-resistant PrP fivefold , whereas introduction of the mutations C213A and Delta 214-220 did not affect the recovery of protease-resistant PrP

  • pSPOXPrP106(140 / 6His , E200K) was created by substitution of BstEII / XhoI-digested pCOMBO2MHM2 E200K insert into BstEII / XhoI-digested pSPOXPrP106(140 / 6His) vector

  • We introduced one such mutation , E200K , into PrP106(140 / 6His) to evaluate the effect on protease resistance

  • Whereas introduction of the E200K mutation did not affect the protease resistance of full-length PrP or PrP106 (Fig. 4 A , lane 3) , it did increase the recovery of protease-resistant PrP106(140 / 6His) by approximately fivefold (Fig. 4 A , lane 5)

  • (A) ScN2a cells were transfected with the following constructs: lane 1 , MHM2 ; lane 2 , PrP106 ; lane 3 , PrP106(E200K) ; lane 4 , PrP106(140 / 6His) ; lane 5 , PrP106(140 / 6His , E200K)

  • (B) ScN2a cells were transfected with MHM2 (lanes 1 and 2) PrP106(225 / 6His) (lanes 3 and 4) , and PrP106(140 / 6His , E200K) (lanes 5 and 6)

  • To investigate whether affinity-tagged PrP106 derivatives might share with PrP Sc the property of being susceptible to dendrimers , we treated ScN2a cells expressing either full-length MHM2 , PrP106(225 / 6His) , or PrP106(140 / 6His , E200K) with PPI

  • The results indicate that both PrP106(225 / 6His) and PrP106(140 / 6His , E200K) were rendered protease sensitive by PPI (Fig. 4 B)

  • Furthermore , the protease resistance of PrP106(140 / 6His) was increased by introduction of the disease-associated mutation E200K located outside the tag

  • If this explanation is correct , we predict that the internal and C-terminal His6 tags are destabilizing elements for PrP106 and that the E200K mutation is a destabilizing element for PrP(140 / 6His)

  • First , using affinity-tagged PrP106 proteins as a starting point , it might be possible to generate spontaneous infectivity by introducing disease-associated mutations such as E200K

  • This molecule may be partially destabilized in such a way that it is capable of becoming more protease resistant when pathogenic PrP mutations , such as E200K , are introduced into its sequence
