Pleiotrophin regulates serine phosphorylation and the cellular distribution of beta-adducin through activation of protein kinase C.

ABSTRACT: Pleiotrophin (PTN) was found to regulate tyrosine phosphorylation of beta-adducin through the PTN/receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP)beta/zeta signaling pathway. We now demonstrate that PTN stimulates the phosphorylation of serines 713 and 726 in the myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase (PK) C substrate domain of beta-adducin through activation of either PKC alpha or beta. We also demonstrate that PTN stimulates translocation of phosphoserine 713 and 726 beta-adducin either to nuclei, where it associates with nuclear chromatin and with centrioles of dividing cells, or to a membrane-associated site, depending on the phase of cell growth. Furthermore, we demonstrate that PTN stimulates the degradation of beta-adducin in PTN-stimulated cells. Phosphorylation of serines 713 and 726 in beta-adducin is known to markedly reduce the affinity of beta-adducin for spectrin and actin and to uncouple actin/spectrin/beta-adducin multimeric complexes needed for cytoskeletal stability. The data thus suggest that the PTN-stimulated phosphorylation of serines 713 and 726 in beta-adducin disrupts cytoskeletal protein complexes and integrity, features demonstrated in both PTN-stimulated cells and of highly malignant cells that constitutively express the endogenous Ptn gene. The data also support the important conclusion that PTN determines the cellular location of beta-adducin phosphorylated in serines 713 and 726 and raise the possibility that beta-adducin functions in support of structure of heterochromatin and centrioles during mitosis.

Serine 111 phosphorylation regulates OCT4A protein subcellular distribution and degradation.

Project description:Embryonic stem cell self-renewal properties are attributed to critical amounts of OCT4A, but little is known about its post-translational regulation. Sequence analysis revealed that OCT4A contains five putative ERK1/2 phosphorylation sites. Consistent with the hypothesis that OCT4A is a putative ERK1/2 substrate, we demonstrate that OCT4A interacts with ERK1/2 by using both in vitro GST pulldown and in vivo co-immunoprecipitation assays. MS analysis identified phosphorylation of OCT4A at Ser-111. To investigate the possibility that ERK1/2 activation can enhance OCT4A degradation, we analyzed endogenous ubiquitination in cells transfected with FLAG-OCT4A alone or with constitutively active MEK1 (MEK1(CA)), and we observed that the extent of OCT4 ubiquitination was clearly increased when MEK1(CA) was coexpressed and that this increase was more evident after MG132 treatment. These results suggest an increase in OCT4A ubiquitination downstream of MEK1 activation, and this could account for the protein loss observed after FGF2 treatment and MEK1(CA) transfection. Understanding and controlling the mechanism by which stem cells balance self-renewal would substantially advance our knowledge of stem cells.

TDP-43 regulates β-adducin (Add2) transcript stability.

Project description:TDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein involved in several steps of mRNA metabolism including transcription, splicing and stability. It is also involved in ALS and FTD, neurodegenerative diseases characterized by TDP-43 nuclear depletion. We previously identified TDP-43 as a binder of the downstream element (DSE) of the β-Adducin (Add2) brain-specific polyadenylation site (A4 PAS), suggesting its involvement in pre-mRNA 3' end processing. Here, by using chimeric minigenes, we showed that TDP-43 depletion in HeLa and HEK293 cells resulted in down-regulation of both the chimeric and endogenous Add2 transcripts. Despite having confirmed TDP-43-DSE in vitro interaction, we demonstrated that the in vivo effect was not mediated by the TDP-43-DSE interaction. In fact, substitution of the Add2 DSE with viral E-SV40 and L-SV40 DSEs, which are not TDP-43 targets, still resulted in decreased Add2 mRNA levels after TDP-43 downregulation. In addition, we failed to show interaction between TDP-43 and key polyadenylation factors, such as CstF-64 and CPSF160 and excluded TDP-43 involvement in pre-mRNA cleavage and regulation of polyA tail length. These evidences allowed us to exclude the pre-hypothesized role of TDP43 in modulating 3' end processing of Add2 pre-mRNA. Finally, we showed that TDP-43 regulates Add2 gene expression levels by increasing Add2 mRNA stability. Considering that Add2 in brain participates in synapse assembly, synaptic plasticity and their stability, and its genetic inactivation in mice leads to LTP, LTD, learning and motor-coordination deficits, we hypothesize that a possible loss of Add2 function by TDP-43 depletion may contribute to ALS and FTD disease states.

Serine 165 phosphorylation of SHARPIN regulates the activation of NF-κB.

Project description:The adaptor SHARPIN composes, together with the E3 ligases HOIP and HOIL1, the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC). This enzymatic complex catalyzes and stamps atypical linear ubiquitin chains onto substrates to modify their fate and has been linked to the regulation of the NF-κB pathway downstream of most immunoreceptors, inflammation, and cell death. However, how this signaling complex is regulated is not fully understood. Here, we report that a portion of SHARPIN is constitutively phosphorylated on the serine at position 165 in lymphoblastoid cells and can be further induced following T cell receptor stimulation. Analysis of a phosphorylation-resistant mutant of SHARPIN revealed that this mark controls the linear ubiquitination of the NF-κB regulator NEMO and allows the optimal activation of NF-κB in response to TNFα. These results identify an additional layer of regulation of the LUBAC and unveil potential strategies to modulate its action.

Cyclin-Dependent Kinase-Dependent Phosphorylation of Sox2 at Serine 39 Regulates Neurogenesis.

Project description:Sox2 is known to be important for neuron formation, but the precise mechanism through which it activates a neurogenic program and how this differs from its well-established function in self-renewal of stem cells remain elusive. In this study, we identified a highly conserved cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) phosphorylation site on serine 39 (S39) in Sox2. In neural stem cells (NSCs), phosphorylation of S39 enhances the ability of Sox2 to negatively regulate neuronal differentiation, while loss of phosphorylation is necessary for chromatin retention of a truncated form of Sox2 generated during neurogenesis. We further demonstrated that nonphosphorylated cleaved Sox2 specifically induces the expression of proneural genes and promotes neurogenic commitment in vivo Our present study sheds light on how the level of Cdk kinase activity directly regulates Sox2 to tip the balance between self-renewal and differentiation in NSCs.

Ubp-M serine 552 phosphorylation by cyclin-dependent kinase 1 regulates cell cycle progression.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA is organized into a chromatin structure, which not only serves as the template for DNA-based nuclear processes, but also as a platform integrating intracellular and extracellular signals. Although much effort has been spent to characterize chromatin modifying/remodeling activities, little is known about cell signaling pathways targeting these chromatin modulators. Here, we report that cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) phosphorylates the histone H2A deubiquitinase Ubp-M at serine 552 (S552P), and, importantly, this phosphorylation is required for cell cycle progression. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed Ubp-M is phosphorylated at serine 552, and in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that CDK1/cyclin B kinase is responsible for Ubp-M S552P. Interestingly, Ubp-M S552P is not required for Ubp-M tetramer formation, deubiquitination activity, substrate specificity, or regulation of gene expression. However, Ubp-M S552P is required for cell proliferation and cell cycle G 2/M phase progression. Ubp-M S552P reduces Ubp-M interaction with nuclear export protein CRM1 and facilitates Ubp-M nuclear localization. Therefore, these studies confirm that Ubp-M is phosphorylated at S552 and identify CDK1 as the enzyme responsible for the phosphorylation. Importantly, this study specifically links Ubp-M S552P to cell cycle G 2/M phase progression.

cJun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation of serine 36 is critical for p66Shc activation.

Project description:p66Shc-dependent ROS production contributes to many pathologies including ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) during solid organ transplantation. Inhibiting p66Shc activation may provide a novel therapeutic approach to prevent damage, which is poorly managed by antioxidants in vivo. Previous work suggested that pro-oxidant and a pro-apoptotic function of p66Shc required mitochondrial import, which depended on serine 36 phosphorylation. PKCß has been proposed as S36 kinase but cJun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) may also phosphorylate this residue. To simulate the early stages of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) we either used H2O2 treatment or hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR). As during reperfusion in vivo, we observed increased JNK and p38 activity in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and HL-1 cardiomyocytes along with significantly increased p66ShcS36 phosphorylation, ROS production and cell damage. Application of specific inhibitors caused a pronounced decrease in p66ShcS36 phosphorylation only in the case of JNK1/2. Moreover, S36 phosphorylation of recombinant p66Shc by JNK1 but not PKCß was demonstrated. We further confirmed JNK1/2-dependent regulation of p66ShcS36 phosphorylation, ROS production and cell death using JNK1/2 deficient MEFs. Finally, the low ROS phenotype of JNK1/2 knockout MEFs was reversed by the phosphomimetic p66ShcS36E mutant. Inhibiting JNK1/2-regulated p66Shc activation may thus provide a therapeutic approach for the prevention of oxidative damage.

Protein Kinase C-Mediated Phosphorylation of BCL11B at Serine 2 Negatively Regulates Its Interaction with NuRD Complexes during CD4+ T-Cell Activation.

Project description:The transcription factor BCL11B/CTIP2 is a major regulatory protein implicated in various aspects of development, function and survival of T cells. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated phosphorylation and SUMOylation modulate BCL11B transcriptional activity, switching it from a repressor in naive murine thymocytes to a transcriptional activator in activated thymocytes. Here, we show that BCL11B interacts via its conserved N-terminal MSRRKQ motif with endogenous MTA1 and MTA3 proteins to recruit various NuRD complexes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated phosphorylation of BCL11B Ser2 does not significantly impact BCL11B SUMOylation but negatively regulates NuRD recruitment by dampening the interaction with MTA1 or MTA3 (MTA1/3) and RbAp46 proteins. We detected increased phosphorylation of BCL11B Ser2 upon in vivo activation of transformed and primary human CD4(+) T cells. We show that following activation of CD4(+) T cells, BCL11B still binds to IL-2 and Id2 promoters but activates their transcription by recruiting P300 instead of MTA1. Prolonged stimulation results in the direct transcriptional repression of BCL11B by KLF4. Our results unveil Ser2 phosphorylation as a new BCL11B posttranslational modification linking PKC signaling pathway to T-cell receptor (TCR) activation and define a simple model for the functional switch of BCL11B from a transcriptional repressor to an activator during TCR activation of human CD4(+) T cells.

Casein kinase 2-dependent serine phosphorylation of MuSK regulates acetylcholine receptor aggregation at the neuromuscular junction.

Project description:The release of Agrin by motoneurons activates the muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) as the main organizer of subsynaptic specializations at the neuromuscular junction. MuSK downstream signaling is largely undefined. Here we show that protein kinase CK2 interacts and colocalizes with MuSK at post-synaptic specializations. We observed CK2-mediated phosphorylation of serine residues within the kinase insert (KI) of MuSK. Inhibition or knockdown of CK2, or exchange of phosphorylatable serines by alanines within the KI of MuSK, impaired acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering, whereas their substitution by residues that imitate constitutive phosphorylation led to aggregation of AChRs even in the presence of CK2 inhibitors. Impairment of AChR cluster formation after replacement of MuSK KI with KIs of other receptor tyrosine kinases correlates with potential CK2-dependent serine phosphorylation within KIs. MuSK activity was unchanged but AChR stability decreased in the presence of CK2 inhibitors. Muscle-specific CK2beta knockout mice develop a myasthenic phenotype due to impaired muscle endplate structure and function. This is the first description of a regulatory cross-talk between MuSK and CK2 and of a role for the KI of the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK for the development of subsynaptic specializations.

Protein kinase N1 mediates phosphorylation of H3.3 serine 31 for rapid gene activation (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Atherosclerosis, which develops in the inner layer of arteries, is the major cause of myocardial infarction and stroke. Atherosclerotic plaques develop preferentially in arterial regions exposed to disturbed blood flow, such as vessel curvatures, bifurcations and branching points, where endothelial cells develop an inflammatory phenotype. How disturbed flow induces endothelial cell inflammation is incompletely understood. We show here that histone H3.3 phosphorylation at serine 31 (H3.3S31) plays a critical role in disturbed flow-induced endothelial inflammation, as it allows the rapid induction of FOS and FOSB, which are required for disturbed flow-induced inflammatory gene expression. We identified protein kinase N1 (PKN1) as the kinase responsible for disturbed flow-induced H3.3S31 phosphorylation. PKN1 becomes activated by disturbed flow in an integrin a5b1-dependent manner and then translocates to the cell nucleus. We found that PKN1 is also involved in the phosphorylation of the AP-1 transcription factor JUN. Mice with endothelium-specific loss of PKN1 or endothelial expression of S31 phosphorylation-deficient mutants of H.3.3 show reduced endothelial inflammation and disturbed flow-induced vascular remodeling in vitro and in vivo. Our data identify a novel mechanism of H3.3S31 phosphorylation which may serve as a target for preventive and therapeutic anti-atherosclerotic strategies.
