Abstract:
In the present study, we identified an additional member of the human high-temperature requirement factor A (HtrA) protein family, called pregnancy-related serine protease or HtrA3, which was most highly expressed in the heart and placenta. We cloned the full-length sequences of two forms (long and short) of human HtrA3 mRNA, located the gene on chromosome 4p16.1, determined its genomic structure and revealed how the two mRNA variants are produced through alternative splicing. The alternative splicing was also verified by Northern blotting. Four distinct domains were found for the long form HtrA3 protein: (i) an insulin/insulin-like growth factor binding domain, (ii) a Kazal-type S protease-inhibitor domain, (iii) a trypsin protease domain and (iv) a PDZ domain. The short form is identical to the long form except it lacks the PDZ domain. Comparison of all members of human HtrA proteins, including their isoforms, suggests that both isoforms of HtrA3 represent active serine proteases, that they may have different substrate specificities and that HtrA3 may have similar functions to HtrA1. All three HtrA family members showed very different mRNA-expression patterns in 76 human tissues, indicating a specific function for each. Interestingly, both HtrA1 and HtrA3 are highly expressed in the placenta. Identification of the tissue-specific function of each HtrA family member is clearly of importance.

Abstract:
The mammalian HtrA family consists of serine proteases with distinct domains homologous to the bacterial high temperature requirement factor (HtrA). Three human HtrA members have been reported: HtrA1 (PRSS11 or L56), HtrA2 (OMI) and HtrA3 (PRSP). The function of HtrA1 is not well characterised, but it has been shown to be downregulated in malignant tissues (1–3) indicating that the downregulation of HtrA1 is associated with cancer progression. HtrA2 regulates apoptosis by interacting with X-linked inhibitors of apoptosis (XIAP) thus preventing the caspase-inhibitory function of XIAP (4). The function of newly identified HtrA3 is not known, however it shares a high degree of sequence and domain homologies with HtrA1 and may therefore share a functional similarity with HtrA1 (5). Endometrial cancer (EC) is a prevalent gynaecological cancer, commonly affecting women after menopause. In this study we examined the expression of HtrA1, 2 and 3 in EC. Reverse transcriptase-PCR (semi-quantitative) analysis showed decreased mRNA expression of both HtrA1 and HtrA3, but no significant change for HtrA2, in EC tissue samples compared to normal endometrium. We then determined the protein level of expression and the cellular localisation of all three HtrA members in EC progression using immunohistochemistry. HtrA1 and HtrA3 showed a similar pattern of expression and both decreased dramatically with the progression of cancer from grade 1 through to 3. Surprisingly, HtrA2 protein expression was also decreased with cancer progression, but the decline was not as dramatic as that for HtrA1 and HtrA3. Interestingly, considerably less staining was observed for all three HtrA proteins in grade 3 cancer tissues. These data suggest that decreased expression of HtrA proteins, particularly HtrA1 and HtrA3, is associated with the progression of endometrial cancer.

Abstract:
High-temperature requirement A (HtrA) proteins, which are members of the heat-shock-induced serine protease family, are involved in extracytoplasmic protein quality control and bacterial survival strategies under stress conditions, and are associated with the virulence of several pathogens; they are therefore major drug targets. Mycobacterium tuberculosis possesses three putative HtrAs: HtrA1 (Rv1223), HtrA2 (Rv0983) and HtrA3 (Rv0125). Each has a cytoplasmic region, a transmembrane helix and a periplasmic region. Here, the crystal structure of the periplasmic region consisting of a protease domain (PD) and a PDZ domain from an M. tuberculosis HtrA1 mutant (mHtrA1S387A) is reported at 2.7 Å resolution. Although the mHtrA1S387A PD shows structural features similar to those of other HtrAs, its loops, particularly L3 and LA, display different conformations. Loop L3 communicates between the PDs of the trimer and the PDZ domains and undergoes a transition from an active to an inactive conformation, as reported for an equivalent HtrA (DegS). Loop LA, which is responsible for higher oligomer formation owing to its length (50 amino acids) in DegP, is very short in mHtrA1S387A (five amino acids), as in mHtrA2 (also five amino acids), and therefore lacks essential interactions for the formation of higher oligomers. Notably, a well ordered loop known as the insertion clamp in the PDZ domain interacts with the protease domain of the adjacent molecule, which possibly aids in the stabilization of a trimeric functional unit of this enzyme. The three-dimensional structure of mHtrA1S387A presented here will be useful in the design of enzyme-specific antituberculosis inhibitors.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe microaerophilic bacteriumCampylobacter jejuniis the most common cause of bacterial food-borne infections in the developed world. Tolerance to environmental stress relies on proteases and chaperones in the cell envelope, such as HtrA and SurA. HtrA displays both chaperone and protease activities, but little is known about how each of these activities contributes to stress tolerance in bacteria.In vitroexperiments showed temperature-dependent protease and chaperone activities ofC. jejuniHtrA. AC. jejunimutant lacking only the protease activity of HtrA was used to show that the HtrA chaperone activity is sufficient for growth at high temperature or under oxidative stress, whereas the HtrA protease activity is essential only under conditions close to the growth limit forC. jejuni. However, the protease activity was required to prevent induction of the cytoplasmic heat shock response even under optimal growth conditions. Interestingly, the requirement of HtrA at high temperatures was found to depend on the oxygen level, and our data suggest that HtrA may protect oxidatively damaged proteins. Finally, protease activity stimulates HtrA production and oligomer formation, suggesting that a regulatory role depends on the protease activity of HtrA. Studying a microaerophilic organism encoding only two known periplasmic chaperones (HtrA and SurA) revealed an efficient HtrA chaperone activity and proposed multiple roles of the protease activity, increasing our understanding of HtrA in bacterial physiology.

Abstract:
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) expresses the serine protease and chaperone High temperature requirement A (HtrA) that is involved in periplasmic unfolded protein stress response. Additionally, H. pylori-secreted HtrA directly cleaves the human cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin leading to a local disruption of intercellular adhesions during pathogenesis. HtrA-mediated E-cadherin cleavage has been observed in response to a broad range of pathogens, implying that it is a prevalent mechanism in humans. However, less is known whether E-cadherin orthologues serve as substrates for bacterial HtrA. Here, we compared HtrA-mediated cleavage of human E-cadherin with murine, canine, and simian E-cadherin in vitro and during bacterial infection. We found that HtrA targeted mouse and dog E-cadherin equally well, whereas macaque E-cadherin was less fragmented in vitro. We stably re-expressed orthologous E-cadherin (Cdh1) in a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated cdh1 knockout cell line to investigate E-cadherin shedding upon infection using H. pylori wildtype, an isogenic htrA deletion mutant, or complemented mutants as bacterial paradigms. In Western blot analyses and super-resolution microscopy, we demonstrated that H. pylori efficiently cleaved E-cadherin orthologues in an HtrA-dependent manner. These data extend previous knowledge to HtrA-mediated E-cadherin release in mammals, which may shed new light on bacterial infections in non-human organisms.

Abstract:
Ynm3 is the only budding yeast protein possessing a combination of serine protease and postsynaptic density 95/disc-large/zona occludens domains, a defining feature of the high temperature requirement A (HtrA) protein family. The bacterial HtrA/DegP is involved in protective stress response to aid survival at higher temperatures. The role of mammalian mitochondrial HtrA2/Omi in protein quality control is unclear, although loss of its protease activity results in susceptibility toward Parkinson's disease, in which mitochondrial dysfunction and impairment of protein folding and degradation are key pathogenetic features. We studied the role of the budding yeast HtrA, Ynm3, with respect to unfolding stresses. Similar to Escherichia coli DegP, we find that Ynm3 is a dual chaperone-protease. Its proteolytic activity is crucial for cell survival at higher temperature. Ynm3 also exhibits strong general chaperone activity, a novel finding for a eukaryotic HtrA member. We propose that the chaperone activity of Ynm3 may be important to improve the efficiency of proteolysis of aberrant proteins by averting the formation of nonproductive toxic aggregates and presenting them in a soluble state to its protease domain. Suppression studies with Δynm3 led to the discovery of chaperone activity in a nucleolar peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, Fpr3, which could partly relieve the heat sensitivity of Δynm3.

Abstract:
The crystal structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis high-temperature requirement A (HtrA) protein was determined at 1.83 Å resolution. This membrane-associated protease is essential for the survival of M. tuberculosis. The crystal structure reveals that interactions between the PDZ domain and the catalytic domain in HtrA lead to an inactive conformation. This finding is consistent with its proposed role as a regulatory protease that is conditionally activated upon appropriate environmental triggers. The structure provides a basis for directed studies to evaluate the role of this essential protein and the regulatory pathways that are influenced by this protease.

Abstract:
High-temperature requirement protease A (HtrA) represents a family of serine proteases that play important roles in microbial biology. Unlike the genomes of most organisms, that ofBorrelia burgdorferinotably encodes a single HtrA gene product, termed BbHtrA. Previous studies identified a few substrates of BbHtrA; however, their physiological relevance could not be ascertained, as targeted deletion of the gene has not been successful. Here we show that BbhtrAtranscripts are induced during spirochete growth either in the stationary phase or at elevated temperature. Successful generation of a BbhtrAdeletion mutant and restoration by genetic complementation suggest a nonessential role for this protease in microbial viability; however, its remarkable growth, morphological, and structural defects during cultivation at 37°C confirm a high-temperature requirement for protease activation and function. The BbhtrA-deficient spirochetes were unable to establish infection of mice, as evidenced by assessment of culture, PCR, and serology. We show that transcript abundance as well as proteolytic processing of a borrelial protein required for cell fission and infectivity, BB0323, is impaired in BbhtrAmutants grown at 37°C, which likely contributed to their inability to survive in a mammalian host. Together, these results demonstrate the physiological relevance of a unique temperature-regulated borrelial protease, BbHtrA, which further enlightens our knowledge of intriguing aspects of spirochete biology and infectivity.

Abstract:
Abstract High-temperature requirement protease A4 (HtrA4) is a secretary serine protease whose expression is up-regulated in pre-eclampsia (PE) and hence is a possible biomarker of PE. It has also been altered in cancers such as glioblastoma, breast carcinoma, and prostate cancer making it an emerging therapeutic target. Among the human HtrAs, HtrA4 is the least characterized protease pertaining to both structure and its functions. Although the members of human HtrA family share a significant structural and functional conservation, subtle structural changes have been associated with certain distinct functional requirements. Therefore, intricate dissection of HtrA4 structural and functional properties becomes imperative to understand its role in various biological and pathophysiological processes. Here, using inter-disciplinary approaches including in silico, biochemical and biophysical studies, we have done a domain-wise dissection of HtrA4 to delineate the roles of the domains in regulating oligomerization, stability, protease activity, and specificity. Our findings distinctly demonstrate the importance of the N-terminal region in oligomerization, stability and hence the formation of a functional enzyme. In silico structural comparison of HtrA4 with other human HtrAs, enzymology studies and cleavage assays with X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) show overall structural conservation and allosteric mode of protease activation, which suggest functional redundancy within this protease family. However, significantly lower protease activity as compared with HtrA2 indicates an additional mode of regulation of the protease activity in the cellular milieu. Overall, these studies provide first-hand information on HtrA4 and its interaction with antiapoptotic XIAP thus implicating its involvement in the apoptotic pathway.

Abstract:
The mammalian high temperature requirement A (HtrA) proteins are a family of evolutionarily conserved serine proteases, consisting of four homologs (HtrA1-4) that are involved in many cellular processes such as growth, unfolded protein stress response and programmed cell death. In humans, while HtrA1, 2 and 3 are widely expressed in multiple tissues with variable levels, HtrA4 expression is largely restricted to the placenta with the protein released into maternal circulation during pregnancy. This limited expression sets HtrA4 apart from the rest of the family. All four HtrAs are active proteases, and their specific cellular and physiological roles depend on tissue type. The dysregulation of HtrAs has been implicated in many human diseases such as cancer, arthritis, neurogenerative ailments and reproductive disorders. This review first discusses HtrAs broadly and then focuses on the current knowledge of key molecular characteristics of individual human HtrAs, their similarities and differences and their reported physiological functions. HtrAs in other species are also briefly mentioned in the context of understanding the human HtrAs. It then reviews the distinctive involvement of each HtrA in various human diseases, especially cancer and pregnancy complications. It is noteworthy that HtrA4 expression has not yet been reported in any primary tumour samples, suggesting an unlikely involvement of this HtrA in cancer. Collectively, we accentuate that a better understanding of tissue-specific regulation and distinctive physiological and pathological roles of each HtrA will improve our knowledge of many processes that are critical for human health.

This project used modelling, biochemical, and genetic approaches to investigate the physiological function of the HtrA protease in C. trachomatis. This organism is responsible for several human diseases, however our understanding of how it causes these diseases is limited. By focusing on a single C. trachomatis protein, HtrA, we were able to demonstrate the protein is a unique protease/chaperone which is important for the replicative phase of the organism. This project has identified HtrA as one of the key components for the pathogenesis of C. trachomatis and will guide the generation of new therapeutics that target this protein.

Human trophoblast invasion of decidualized endometrium is essential for placentation and is tightly regulated and involves decidua-trophoblastic interaction. High-temperature requirement A4 (HtrA4) is a secreted serine protease highly expressed in the invasive extravillous trophoblasts and promotes decidua-trophoblastic interaction. In contrast, both HtrA1 and HtrA3 have been shown to inhibit placental cell invasion. Here we provide evidence that decidua-secreted HtrA1 and HtrA3 antagonize HtrA4-mediated placental cell invasion. We demonstrated that HtrA1 and HtrA3 interact with and degrade HtrA4, thereby inhibit placental cell invasion. HtrA1 and HtrA3 expression is upregulated by decidualization in endometrial stromal and epithelial cells, T-HESCs and Ishikawa cells, respectively. By RNA interference, we demonstrated that HtrA1 and HtrA3 are responsible for the suppression of HtrA4-expressing JAR placental cell invasion by conditioned media of decidualized T-HESCs and Ishikawa cells. Co-culture of the HtrA4-expressing JAR cells with decidualized T-HESC or Ishikawa monolayer also impairs HtrA4-mediated JAR cell invasion, which can be reversed by HtrA1 or HtrA3 knockdown, supporting that HtrA1 and HtrA3 are crucial for trophoblast-decidual cell interaction in the control of trophoblast invasion. Our study reveals a novel regulatory mechanism of placental cell invasion through physical and functional interaction between HtrA family members.
