RESUMEN

The voltage-gated potassium ion channel KV11.1 plays a critical role in cardiac repolarization. Genetic variants that render Kv11.1 dysfunctional cause long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is associated with fatal arrhythmias. Approximately 90% of LQTS-associated variants cause intracellular protein transport (trafficking) dysfunction, which pharmacological chaperones like E-4031 can rescue. Protein folding and trafficking decisions are regulated by chaperones, protein quality control factors, and trafficking machinery comprising the cellular proteostasis network. Here, we test whether trafficking dysfunction is associated with alterations in the proteostasis network of pathogenic Kv11.1 variants and whether pharmacological chaperones can normalize the proteostasis network of responsive variants. We used affinity-purification coupled with tandem mass tag-based quantitative mass spectrometry to assess protein interaction changes of WT KV11.1 or trafficking-deficient channel variants in the presence or absence of E-4031. We identified 572 core KV11.1 protein interactors. Trafficking-deficient variants KV11.1-G601S and KV11.1-G601S-G965∗ had significantly increased interactions with proteins responsible for folding, trafficking, and degradation compared to WT. We confirmed previous findings that the proteasome is critical for KV11.1 degradation. Our report provides the first comprehensive characterization of protein quality control mechanisms of KV11.1. We find extensive interactome remodeling associated with trafficking-deficient KV11.1 variants and with pharmacological chaperone rescue of KV11.1 cell surface expression. The identified protein interactions could be targeted therapeutically to improve KV11.1 trafficking and treat LQTS.

RESUMEN

Apocynaceae are well known for diverse specialized metabolites that are distributed in a phylogenetically informative manner. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) have been reported sporadically in one lineage in the family, the APSA clade, but few species have been studied to date. We conducted the first systematic survey of Apocynaceae for retronecine-type PAs, sampling leaves from 231 species from 13 of 16 major lineages within the APSA clade using HPLC-MS/MS. We also followed up preliminary evidence for infra-specific variation of PA detectability in Echites umbellatus Jacq. Four precursor ion scans (PREC) were developed for a high-throughput survey for chemicals containing a structural moiety common to many PAs, the retronecine core. We identified with high confidence PAs in 7 of 8 sampled genera of tribe Echiteae, but not in samples from the closely related Odontadenieae and Mesechiteae, confirming the utility of PAs as a taxonomic character in tribal delimitation. Occurrence of PAs in Malouetieae is reported with moderate confidence in Galactophora schomburgkiana Woodson and Eucorymbia alba Stapf, but currently we have low confidence of their presence in Holarrena pubescens Wall. ex G. Don (the one Malouetieae species where they were previously reported), as well as in Holarrena curtisii King & Gamble and in Kibatalia macrophylla (Pierre ex Hua) Woodson. Candidate PAs in some species of Wrightia R. Br. (Wrightieae) and Marsdenia R. Br. (Marsdenieae) are proposed with moderate confidence, but a subset of the compounds in these taxa presenting with a PA-like fragmentation pattern are more likely to be aminobenzoyl glycosides. Candidate PAs are reported in species with predicted (VXXXD) and unexpected (IXXXN) amino acid motifs in their homospermidine synthase-like genes. Detectability of PAs varies among samples of Echites umbellatus and intra-individual plasticity contributes to this variation. Of toxicological importance, novel potential sources of human exposure to pro-toxic PAs were identified in the medicinal plant, Wrightia tinctoria R.Br., and the food plants, Marsdenia glabra Cost. and Echites panduratus A. DC., warranting immediate further research to elucidate the structures of the candidate PAs identified. Method development and limitations are discussed.
