1 18971449 Stiff-person syndrome with amphiphysin antibodies: distinctive features of a rare disease.
2 20071184 Rituximab treatment of stiff-person syndrome in a patient with thymoma, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroiditis.
3 20071184 Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is an autoimmune neurological disorder characterized by stiffness of the skeletal muscle with superimposed spasms and production of autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and amphiphysin.
4 20071184 We report the results of rituximab treatment in a patient with SPS associated with a thymoma, diabetes mellitus, autoimmune thyroiditis and the presence of anti-GAD and anti-amphiphysin autoantibodies.
5 23630454 Here, we identify the lipid binding BAR (Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs) domain protein PICK1 (protein interacting with C kinase 1) as a key component early in the biogenesis of secretory vesicles in GH-producing cells.
6 23630454 PICK1 localized in cells to immature secretory vesicles, and the PICK1 BAR domain was shown by live imaging to associate with vesicles budding from the TGN and to possess membrane-sculpting properties in vitro.
7 23630454 In mouse pituitary, PICK1 co-localized with the BAR domain protein ICA69, and PICK1 deficiency abolished ICA69 protein expression.
8 23630454 In the Drosophila brain, PICK1 and ICA69 co-immunoprecipitated and showed mutually dependent expression.
9 23630454 Our findings suggest that PICK1, together with ICA69, is critical during budding of immature secretory vesicles from the TGN and thus for vesicular storage of GH and possibly other hormones.
10 23630454 The data link two BAR domain proteins to membrane remodeling processes in the secretory pathway of peptidergic endocrine cells and support an important role of PICK1/ICA69 in maintenance of metabolic homeostasis.
11 23909487 TRAF6-mediated ubiquitination of APPL1 enhances hepatic actions of insulin by promoting the membrane translocation of Akt.
12 23909487 Insulin inhibits hepatic glucose production through activation of the protein kinase Akt, and any defect in this pathway causes fasting hyperglycaemia in Type 2 diabetes.
13 23909487 APPL1 [adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interaction, PH (pleckstrin homology) domain and leucine zipper containing 1] sensitizes hepatic insulin action on suppression of gluconeogenesis by binding to Akt.
14 23909487 However, the mechanisms underlying the insulin-sensitizing actions of APPL1 remain elusive.
15 23909487 In the present study we show that insulin induces Lys63-linked ubiquitination of APPL1 in primary hepatocytes and in the livers of C57 mice.
16 23909487 Lys160 located within the BAR (Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs) domain of APPL1 is the major site for its ubiquitination.
17 23909487 Replacement of Lys160 with arginine abolishes insulin-dependent ubiquitination and membrane localization of APPL1, and also diminishes membrane recruitment and activation of Akt, thereby abrogating the effects of APPL1 on alleviation of hepatic insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in obese mice.
18 23909487 Further analysis identified TRAF6 (tumour-necrosis-factor-receptor-associated factor 6) as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for APPL1 ubiquitination.
19 23909487 Suppression of TRAF6 expression attenuates insulin-mediated ubiquitination and membrane targeting of APPL1, leading to an impairment of insulin-stimulated Akt activation and inhibition of gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes.
20 23909487 Thus TRAF6-mediated ubiquitination of APPL1 is a vital step for the hepatic actions of insulin through modulation of membrane trafficking and activity of Akt.
