Cysteine residues in positions 77 and 95 of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) play a role in its unconventional secretion from cells.

(A) Representative wide-field and TIRF images of real-time single molecule TIRF recruitment assay conducted on stable CHO K1 cell lines overexpressing either wild-type (WT) or mutant (C77A, C95A, C77/95A) FGF2-GFP in a doxycycline-dependent manner. Beyond cell lines expressing various forms of FGF2-GFP, a GFP-expressing cell line was used to subtract GFP background. Wide-field images show the overall FGF2-GFP (or GFP) expression levels. Single FGF2-GFP (or GFP) particles recruited at the inner plasma membrane leaflet and detected within the TIRF field are highlighted with a pink circle. (B) Quantification of real-time single molecule TIRF recruitment assay conducted on the cell lines shown in panel A. Recruitment efficiency at the inner plasma membrane leaflet of FGF2-GFP WT was set to 1. Each square represents a single cell. Mean recruitment efficiency values are shown in brackets. Data are shown as mean with standard deviations (n=4). Statistical analysis was based on a one-way ANOVA test performed in Prism (version 9.4.1), ***p≤0.001. (C) Representative western blot of cell surface biotinylation assay conducted on stable CHO cell lines overexpressing either WT or mutant (C77A, C95A, C77/95A, C77S, C95S, C77/95S) FGF2-GFP in a doxycycline-dependent manner. Total cellular proteins and biotinylated surface proteins were analyzed. The analysis was conducted against GFP, to detect the various FGF2-GFP mutant forms, and GAPDH, both as a loading and a cellular integrity control. (D) Quantification of cell surface biotinylation assay conducted on the cell lines shown in panel D. Secretion efficiency of FGF2-GFP WT was set to 100%. Mean secretion efficiency values for each cell line are shown in brackets. Data are shown as mean with standard deviations (n=4). Statistical analysis was based on a one-way ANOVA test performed in Prism (version 9.4.1), not significant (ns) p>0.05, ***p≤0.001.

Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) dimer formation in cells depends on C95 as revealed by chemical cross-linking.

Using cellular lysates, FGF2 dimer formation was analyzed by chemical cross-linking. The FGF2 variants (wild-type [WT], C77A, C95A, and C77/95A) were transiently expressed in HeLa S3 cells as constructs connecting the FGF2 open reading frame with GFP via a P2A site, producing stoichiometric amounts of untagged FGF2 and GFP, the latter used to label transfected cells. The corresponding cellular lysates were treated with three different cross-linkers: PMPI (N-p-maleimidophenylisocyanate; bifunctional cross-linker with a spacer length of 8.7 Å targeting sulfhydryl groups at one end [maleimide] and hydroxyl groups at the other end [isocyanate], A and D), BMOE ([bismaleimidoethane; bifunctional maleimide-based cross-linker with a short 8 Å spacer length targeting sulfhydryl groups], B and E), or BMH ([bismaleimidohexane; bifunctional maleimide-based cross-linker with a long 13 Å spacer length targeting sulfhydryl groups], C and F), respectively. Cross-linking products were analyzed by sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) followed by western blotting using polyclonal anti-FGF2 antibodies. (A, B, C) Representative examples of the western analyses for each of the three cross-linkers described above. FGF2 monomers (18 kDa) are labeled with ‘♦’, FGF2 dimers (36 kDa) with ‘♦♦’ and small amounts of monomeric full-length FGF2-P2A-GFP (∼50 kDa) with ‘◊’. (D, E, F) Quantification of FGF2 dimer to FGF2 monomer ratios. Signal intensities were quantified using a LI-COR Odyssey CLx imaging system. The FGF2 dimer to monomer ratios were determined in four independent experiments with the standard error of the mean shown, not significant (ns) p>0.05, *p≤0.05, **p≤0.01, ***p≤0.001. Statistical analyses were based on a two-tailed, unpaired t-test using GraphPad Prism (version 9.4). Data distribution was assumed to be normal, but this was not formally tested.

Membrane pore formation triggered by fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) oligomers depends on C95.

Carboxyfluorescein was sequestered in large unilamellar liposomes containing a plasma membrane-like lipid composition including 2 mol% phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). (A) Liposomes were incubated with the His-tagged FGF2-Y81pCMF (2 µM)-based variant forms indicated (wild-type [WT], C77A, C95A, and C77/95A). Membrane pore formation was analyzed by measuring the release of luminal carboxyfluorescein quantified by fluorescence dequenching as detailed in Materials and methods. The results shown are representative for three independent experiments. (B) Quality of the various recombinant proteins was analyzed by sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Coomassie staining.

Full membrane translocation of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) across giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) lipid bilayers depends on C95.

Reconstitution of FGF2 membrane translocation with purified components. GUVs with a plasma membrane-like lipid composition containing 2 mol% phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) were prepared in the presence or absence of long-chain heparins as described in detail in Materials and methods. In brief, Rhodamine-PE (Rhod.-PE) was incorporated into the lipid bilayer during GUV preparation as membrane marker. After removal of excess heparin by low-speed centrifugation, GUVs were incubated with His-tagged FGF2-Y81pCMF-GFP (200 nM) variants as indicated and a small fluorescent tracer (Alexa647). Following 180 min of incubation luminal penetration of GUVs by FGF2-Y81pCMF-GFP and small tracer molecules was analyzed by confocal microscopy. (A) Radial intensity profiles of representative examples quantifying GFP fluorescence in the GUV lumen versus the exterior for FGF2-Y81pCMF-GFP wild-type (WT) (subpanel a), C77A (subpanel b), C95A (subpanel c), and C77/95A (subpanel d). (B) Quantification and statistical analysis of FGF2 membrane translocation and membrane pore formation. Gray bars indicate the percentage of GUVs with membrane pores with a ratio of Alexa647 tracer fluorescence in the lumen versus the exterior of ≥0.6. Green bars indicate the percentage of GUVs where membrane translocation of GFP-tagged proteins had occurred with a ratio of GFP fluorescence in the lumen versus the exterior of ≥1.6 being used as a threshold value. Each dot represents an independent experiment each of which involved the analysis of 20–120 GUVs per experimental condition. Mean values with standard deviations are shown. Statistical analyses are based on two-tailed, unpaired t-test performed in Prism (version 9.4.1), not significant (ns) p>0.05, *p≤0.05. Data distribution was assumed to be normal, but this was not formally tested. For details, see Materials and methods. (C) Representative confocal images of plasma membrane-like GUVs containing PI(4,5)P2 and long-chain heparins in the lumen after 180 min incubation with His-tagged FGF2-Y81pCMF-GFP (200 nM) variants as indicated and a small fluorescent tracer (Alexa647; scale bar = 10 µm).

C77 is a component of the protein-protein interaction surface between fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and the α1 subunit of the Na,K-ATPase.

Kinetic analysis of the direct interaction of FGF2 with α1-subCD3 (Legrand et al., 2020). (A) FGF2 binds to α1 with K54, K60, and C77 being part of the protein-protein interaction interface (figure adapted from Legrand et al., 2020). (B) FGF2 directly binds to α1 in a dose-dependent manner. Biolayer interferometry (BLI) allows temporal resolution of association and dissociation. Biotinylated Hisα1-subCD3-WT protein was immobilized on Streptavidin sensors followed by incubation with His-tagged FGF2 wild-type protein (HisFGF2-WT) at concentrations indicated. The data shown is representative of three independent experiments. Data were analyzed with Data Analysis HT 12.0 software (Sartorius) using a 1:1 binding model. See Materials and methods for details. Mean with standard deviations of KD, ka, and kd values (n=3) are given. (C, D, E) Comparison of FGF2 variants. (C) BLI measurements were conducted using immobilized Hisα1-subCD3 with FGF2 variants (1000 nM concentration) as indicated. The data shown is representative for four independent experiments. (D) The quality of HisFGF2 proteins was analyzed by sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Coomassie staining. 3 µg of each variant were loaded as indicated. (E) Phase shift at time point 600 s. Mean values with standard deviations of four independent experiments are shown. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test was performed in Prism (version 9.4.1). Mean values are shown in brackets, not significant (ns) p>0.5, ****p≤0.0001. Data distribution was assumed to be normal, but this was not formally tested.

Simulations reveal that the C95-C95 interaction interface forms independently of the disulfide bridge.

(A) The distribution of the C95-C95 and C77-C77 distance shows that only the former can come within 1 nm of each other during the unbiased 360 molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, where one fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) monomer was systematically rotated to explore all possible C95-involved dimerization interfaces. (B) The C-alpha atoms of the two monomers were reduced to a two-dimensional (2D) representation using an orthogonal autoencoder. The points are colored with the C95-C95 distance. A cluster with low C95-C95 distance is visible in the representation. (C) The encoded space was clustered with a Bayesian Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to find regions of distinct conformational structures. The eight identified clusters are indicated in the figure, along with the cluster mean shown in black dots and the corresponding cluster label. (D) Populations of the individual clusters in the GMM. Cluster 2 have the largest population among the eight identified clusters. (E) The C95-C95 distance indicates that the highest occupied cluster (Cluster 2) also has the highest likelihood of low C95-C95 distance (below 1 nm). (F) Representative structure of the FGF2 dimer from Cluster 2 showing C95 residues in proximity and crucial residues responsible for salt bridge interactions.

Characterization of C95 disulfide-bridged fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

(A) The AlphaFold2 model dimeric interface’s stability (subpanel a) was tested by conducting 1-µs-long MD simulations in water, which revealed the interface’s high flexibility (subpanel b). (B) Unbiased all-atom MD simulations were used to sample the FGF2 dimer-membrane interaction pathway, mediated via the experimentally known phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) binding pocket (K127, R128, K133). The free energy profile of FGF2 dimer-membrane interaction was determined from biased (umbrella sampling) MD simulations and plotted against the center of the mass distance of FGF2 dimer from phosphate atoms of the interacting membrane surface. Subpanels a–c show the interaction pathway’s initial, intermediate, and final states, while subpanel d shows the free energy profile. The statistical error was determined with 200 bootstrap analyses.

Cross-linking mass spectrometry visualization of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) dimer interfaces.

(A) Overview of the inter-cross-linked fragments for His-tagged FGF2-WT and FGF2-C77/95A in the presence and absence of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2)-containing liposomes. (B) Liposome-induced cross-linking findings align seamlessly with molecular dynamics simulations’ C95-dependent dimer model interface. Fragments K74-K74, K85-K85, and K94-K94 can be positioned within the simulation model at a Cα-Cα distance below 23 Å. This concurs with the theoretical maximum Cα-Cα distance of approximately 26.4 Å for disuccinimidyldibutyric urea (DSBU)-linked lysine residues. (C) Cross-linking mass spectrometry data are compatible with an additional dimerization interface. It is incompatible with disulfide bridge formation but consistent with a membrane-bound FGF2 dimer configuration. Fragments K34-K34, K54-K54, K60-K60, and K143-K143 can be positioned at a Cα-Cα distance below 23 Å.

From a top and side view perspective, a comparison between the AlphaFold2 Multimer v3 model (panels A–B) and the one used for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (panels C–D). The AlphaFold model accurately predicted the orientation of FGF2 dimer, with the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) binding residues correctly positioned for a membrane-bound state (blue residues). However, the two cysteines 95 (red residues), although located at the interface, were observed to be distant. To improve the model, we replaced the FGF2 dimer with the C95-C95 disulfide-bridged dimer interface characterized with MD simulations (Figure 9). Furthermore, we used the ‘Fit in Map’ command provided by the ChimeraX software to locally optimize the fit of one of the two Halo domains' atomic coordinates into the density map.
