Abstract
Protein IqgC iz amebe Dictyostelium discoideum spada u obitelj proteina IQGAP. Dosadašnja istraživanja su pokazala da IqgC, za razliku od drugih proteina IQGAP, ima sačuvanu GAP (engl. GTPase activating protein) aktivnost odnosno da može stimulirati GTP-hidrolitičku aktivnost male GTPaze RasG. Nadalje, pokazano je da je deaktivacija RasG pomoću IqgC važna za regulaciju unosa tekućine (makropinocitoza) i čestica (fagocitoza) tijekom hranjenja ove amebe te da IqgC lokalizira na membranu endosoma tijekom oba procesa. U ovom radu je ispitan doprinos pojedinih regija/domena proteina IqgC njegovoj regrutaciji na makropinosom. U tu svrhu eksprimirane su tri skraćene varijante proteina koje su sadržavale (1) samo GRD (engl. GAP related domain) domenu, (2) samo RGCt (engl. Ras-GAP-C_terminus) domenu i (3) GRD domenu i N-kraj proteina. Analiza lokalizacije ovih domena u živim stanicama deficijentnim za IqgC upotrebom konfokalne mikroskopije pokazala je da nijedna od njih nije dovoljna za lokalizaciju IqgC na membranu endosoma tijekom makropinocitoze.
Abstract (english)
Dictyostelium discoideum IQGAP-related protein IqgC is an atypical member of IQGAP protein family. Namely, recent study demonstrated that IqgC has conserved GAP (GTPase activating protein) activity and can deactivate Ras protein, while other IQGAP proteins have lost this activity due to mutations in their GRD (GAP related domain). IqgC exerts GAP activity toward small GTPase RasG during liquid uptake or macropinocytosis and particle uptake or phagocytosis, and thus negatively regulates RasG activity during both types of large-scale endocytosis. Moreover, full-length IqgC localizes to both macropinosomes and phagosomes. Using confocal microscopy, we have investigated the subcellular localization of truncated IqgC variants expressed as fluorescent protein fusions in iqgC knock-out cells. We showed that neither of the tested constructs, GRD alone, RGCt (Ras-GAP-C_terminus) domain alone and GRD with adjacent N-terminus, are sufficient for the recruitment of IqgC to endosomal membrane during macropinocytosis.
