Paper title : Crystal Structures of the Extracellular Domain from PepT1 and PepT2 Provide Novel Insights into Mammalian Peptide Transport.

Abstract : Mammals obtain nitrogen via the uptake of di- and tri-peptides in the gastrointestinal tract through the action of PepT1 and PepT2, which are members of the POT family of proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters. PepT1 and PepT2 also play an important role in drug transport in the human body. Recent crystal structures of bacterial homologs revealed a conserved peptide-binding site and mechanism of transport. However, a key structural difference exists between bacterial and mammalian homologs with only the latter containing a large extracellular domain, the function of which is currently unknown. Here, we present the crystal structure of the extracellular domain from both PepT1 and PepT2 that reveal two immunoglobulin-like folds connected in tandem, providing structural insight into mammalian peptide transport. Functional and biophysical studies demonstrate that these domains interact with the intestinal protease trypsin, suggesting a role in clustering proteolytic activity to the site of peptide transport in eukaryotic cells.
Paper title : Quantitative maps of protein phosphorylation sites across 14 different rat organs and tissues.
Doi : https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms1871
Abstract : Deregulated cellular signalling is a common hallmark of disease, and delineating tissue phosphoproteomes is key to unravelling the underlying mechanisms. Here we present the broadest tissue catalogue of phosphoproteins to date, covering 31,480 phosphorylation sites on 7,280 proteins quantified across 14 rat organs and tissues. We provide the data set as an easily accessible resource via a web-based database, the CPR PTM Resource. A major fraction of the presented phosphorylation sites are tissue-specific and modulate protein interaction networks that are essential for the function of individual organs. For skeletal muscle, we find that phosphotyrosines are over-represented, which is mainly due to proteins involved in glycogenolysis and muscle contraction, a finding we validate in human skeletal muscle biopsies. Tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in both skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction, whereas glycogenolytic enzymes are tyrosine phosphorylated in skeletal muscle but not in the liver. The presented phosphoproteomic method is simple and rapid, making it applicable for screening of diseased tissue samples.
Paper title : Molecular cloning and tissue distribution of rat peptide transporter PEPT2.
Doi : https://doi.org/10.1016/0005-2736(96)00024-7
Abstract : A cDNA encoding rat H(+)- coupled peptide transporter PEPT2 was isolated. The cDNA encoded a protein of 729 amino acids with 48% amino acid identity to the rat PEPT1. The mRNA expression of rat PEPT2 was predominant in the kidney. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, rat PEPT2 stimulated the uptake of bestatin, a dipeptide-like drug.
Paper title : Stoichiometry and kinetics of the high-affinity H+-coupled peptide transporter PepT2.
Doi : https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.274.5.2773
Abstract : Proton-coupled peptide transporters mediate the absorption of a large variety of di- and tripeptides as well as peptide-like pharmacologically active compounds. We report a kinetic analysis of the rat kidney high-affinity peptide transporter PepT2 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. By use of simultaneous radioactive uptake and current measurements under voltage-clamp condition, the charge to substrate uptake ratio was found to be close to 2 for both D-Phe-L-Ala and D-Phe-L-Glu, indicating that the H+:substrate stoichiometry is 2:1 and 3:1 for neutral and anionic dipeptides, respectively. The higher stoichiometry for anionic peptides suggests that they are transported in the protonated form. For D-Phe-L-Lys, the charge:uptake ratio averaged 2.4 from pooled experiments, suggesting that Phe-Lys crosses the membrane via PepT2 either in its deprotonated (neutral) or its positively charged form, averaging a H+:Phe-Lys stoichiometry of 1.4:1. These findings led to the overall conclusion that PepT2 couples transport of one peptide molecule to two H+. This is in contrast to the low-affinity transporter PepT1 that couples transport of one peptide to one H+. Quinapril inhibited PepT2-mediated currents in presence or in absence of external substrates. Oocytes expressing PepT2 exhibited quinapril-sensitive outward currents. In the absence of external substrate, a quinapril-sensitive proton inward current (proton leak) was also observed which, together with the observed pH-dependent PepT2-specific presteady-state currents (Ipss), indicates that at least one H+ binds to the transporter prior to substrate. PepT2 exhibited Ipss in response to hyperpolarization at pH 6.5-8.0. However, contrary to previous observations on various transporters, 1) no significant currents were observed corresponding to voltage jumps returning from hyperpolarization, and 2) at reduced extracellular pH, no significant Ipss were observed in either direction. Together with observed lower substrate affinities and decreased PepT2-mediated currents at hyperpolarized Vm, our data are consistent with the concept that hyperpolarization exerts inactivation effects on the transporter which are enhanced by low pH. Our studies revealed distinct properties of PepT2, compared with PepT1 and other ion-coupled transporters.
Paper title : Cryo-EM structure of PepT2 reveals structural basis for proton-coupled peptide and prodrug transport in mammals.
Doi : https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abh3355
Abstract : The SLC15 family of proton-coupled solute carriers PepT1 and PepT2 play a central role in human physiology as the principal route for acquiring and retaining dietary nitrogen. A remarkable feature of the SLC15 family is their extreme substrate promiscuity, which has enabled the targeting of these transporters for the improvement of oral bioavailability for several prodrug molecules. Although recent structural and biochemical studies on bacterial homologs have identified conserved sites of proton and peptide binding, the mechanism of peptide capture and ligand promiscuity remains unclear for mammalian family members. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the outward open conformation of the rat peptide transporter PepT2 in complex with an inhibitory nanobody. Our structure, combined with molecular dynamics simulations and biochemical and cell-based assays, establishes a framework for understanding peptide and prodrug recognition within this pharmaceutically important transporter family.
Paper title : Carnosine uptake in rat choroid plexus primary cell cultures and choroid plexus whole tissue from PEPT2 null mice.
Doi : https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-4159.2004.02333.x
Abstract : PEPT2 is functionally active and localized to the apical membrane of rat choroid plexus epithelial cells. However, little is known about the transport mechanisms of endogenous neuropeptides in choroid plexus, and the role of PEPT2 in this process. In the present study, we examined the uptake kinetics of carnosine in rat choroid plexus primary cell cultures and choroid plexus whole tissue from wild-type (PEPT2(+/+)) and null (PEPT2(-/-)) mice. Our results indicate that carnosine is preferentially taken up from the apical as opposed to basolateral membrane of cell monolayers, and that basolateral efflux in limited. Transepithelial flux of carnosine was not distinguishable from that of paracellular diffusion. The apical uptake of carnosine was characterized by a high affinity (K(m) = 34 microM), low capacity (V(max) = 73 pmol/mg protein/min) process, consistent with that of PEPT2. The non-saturable component was small (K(d) = 0.063 microL/mg protein/min) and, under linear conditions, was only 3% of the total uptake. Studies in transgenic mice clearly demonstrated that PEPT2 was responsible for over 90% of carnosine's uptake in choroid plexus whole tissue. These findings elucidate the unique role of PEPT2 in regulating neuropeptide homeostasis at the blood-cerebrospinal fluid interface.
