    Study of the cell biological role of Lowe Syndrome protein OCRL1

    No full text
    Oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) is caused by mutations in a phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphatase, OCRL1, and is believed to lead to an elevation of its preferred substrate, PI(4,5)P2. To date, much of the work on OCRL1 has centred on its role at Golgi and endosomal membranes. However, there is also evidence of plasma membrane activity for OCRL1, where its PI(4,5)P2 substrate is known to be highly abundant. PI(4,5)P2 regulates a wide array of downstream cellular functions such as cytoskeletal dynamics, membrane trafficking and signalling. The tight regulation of PI(4,5)P2 levels and localisation, like other phosphoinositides, provides a framework upon which many of these cellular processes work. In this thesis, effects of OCRL1 loss have been tested through siRNA depletion of OCRL1, focussing where possible on multiple PI(4,5)P2-dependent mechanisms, and also focussing on cells forming polarised epithelia. Firstly, we have visualised the localisation of PI(4,5)P2 in living HeLa cells lacking OCRL1 through immunostaining for Annexin A2, which showed a marked translocation to the plasma membrane. This change in distribution of Annexin A2 suggested that OCRL1 depletion may have an effect on intracellular calcium dynamics as well as PI(4,5)P2 localisation. We also used a GFP-chimera of the well characterised PI(4,5)P2-binding pleckstrin homology domain of PLCδ1. This showed no difference in localisation upon OCRL1 depletion. As OCRL1 is highly enriched at the TGN, we fused the pleckstrin homology domain of PLCδ1 to a mutated pleckstrin homology domain of OSBP known to bind ARF1 at the TGN, to act as a coincidence detector for PI(4,5)P2 at the TGN. This construct also showed no reproducible effect of OCRL1 depletion. Secondly we tested the effect of loss of OCRL1 on cytosolic calcium levels. Using two phospholipase C (PLC) agonists, and a SERCA pump inhibitor, we found no consistent differences in calcium handling upon depletion of OCRL1. Thirdly, we have assessed the potential specialised role that OCRL1 has in polarised epithelial cells, which might relate to the clinical picture in Lowe Syndrome. We found that OCRL1 targets the tight junctions of immortalised lines and primary cells. Through co-immunoprecipitation, we found OCRL1 in complexes with the tight junction scaffold protein ZO-1. Most significantly, we found that depletion of OCRL1 in human polarised epithelial cell lines interfered with epithelial differentiation, reducing cell number and altering morphology, to produce large flat cells. We attribute this phenotype, stronger than any other so far described experimentally, to a defect in tight junction maturation

    Defining absolute environmental limits for the built environment

    No full text
    The question addressed is whether it is possible to define working limits on environmental impacts from the built environment in terms of global carrying capacity. The main focus is on energy-related impacts, since these are global and relatively well-understood. Four possible approaches to defining limits are explored: static equilibrium, asymptotic, integral of excess and planned future. The conclusions that emerge from this exploration are that global environmental constraints are very tight, but also that they are dynamically and strongly influenced by the trajectory of social and technological development over the coming century. Their use as the basis for practical, quantitative metrics of sustainability, therefore, involves a large measure of subjectivity. A fifth approach - the developmental approach - is identified, which instead of focusing on long-term external constraints to human activity, focuses instead on the internal, short- to medium-term dynamics of the built environment itself. It appears likely that the developmental approach, guided by qualitative conclusions from the analysis of global carrying capacity, is likely to be most fruitful
