Abstract

Aminopeptidase N (APN, CD13) is a transmembrane ectopeptidase involved in many crucial cellular functions. Besides its role as a peptidase, APN also mediates signal transduction and is involved in the activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs function in tissue remodeling within the extracellular space and are therefore involved in many human diseases, such as fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, tumor angiogenesis, and metastasis, as well as viral infections. However, the exact mechanism that leads to APN-driven MMP activation is unclear. It was previously shown that extracellular 14-3-3 adapter proteins bind to APN and thereby induce the transcription of MMPs. As a first step, we sought to identify potential 14-3-3–binding sites in the APN sequence. We constructed a set of phosphorylated peptides derived from APN to probe for interactions. We identified and characterized a canonical 14-3-3–binding site (site 1) within the flexible, structurally unresolved N-terminal APN region using direct binding fluorescence polarization assays and thermodynamic analysis. In addition, we identified a secondary, noncanonical binding site (site 2), which enhances the binding affinity in combination with site 1 by many orders of magnitude. Finally, we solved crystal structures of 14-3-3σ bound to mono- and bis-phosphorylated APN-derived peptides, which revealed atomic details of the binding mode of mono- and bivalent 14-3-3 interactions. Therefore, our findings shed some light on the first steps of APN-mediated MMP activation and open the field for further investigation of this important signaling pathway.

Aminopeptidase N (APN, CD13) is a zinc-dependent ectopeptidase of the M1 family. It is a type II integral membrane protein and is located on the surface of many mammalian cells like fibroblasts, epithelial and myeloid cells (1Luan Y. Xu W. The structure and main functions of aminopeptidase N.Curr. Med. Chem. 2007; 14 (17346152): 639-64710.2174/092986707780059571Crossref PubMed Scopus (155) Google Scholar, 2Wickström M. Larsson R.

APN consists of 967 amino acids (aa), which can be divided into three regions. A short N-terminal region is located in the cytoplasm (aa 1–9), followed by a single-helix transmembrane domain (aa 10–27) and a large extracellular region (aa 28–967) (3Wong A.H.M. Zhou D. Rini J.M.

It is most widely known for its protease activity in the renin-angiotensin system, where it proteolytically converts angiotensin III to IV (4Danziger R.S.

In addition to its enzymatic activity, it functions as a receptor for coronaviruses and has been proposed to participate in the endocytosis of cholesterol (5Nomura R. Kiyota A. Suzaki E. Kataoka K.

Some of the functions of APN are mediated by protein-protein interactions. Binding of extracellular 14-3-3 proteins, for instance, was shown to induce transcription of various matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) via p38 MAPK signaling (8Ghahary A. Marcoux Y. Karimi-Busheri F.
