Protein kinase A increases type-2 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor activity by phosphorylation of serine 937.

ABSTRACT: Protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)Rs) represents a mechanism for shaping intracellular Ca(2+) signals following a concomitant elevation in cAMP. Activation of PKA results in enhanced Ca(2+) release in cells that express predominantly InsP(3)R2. PKA is known to phosphorylate InsP(3)R2, but the molecular determinants of this effect are not known. We have expressed mouse InsP(3)R2 in DT40-3KO cells that are devoid of endogenous InsP(3)R and examined the effects of PKA phosphorylation on this isoform in unambiguous isolation. Activation of PKA increased Ca(2+) signals and augmented the single channel open probability of InsP(3)R2. A PKA phosphorylation site unique to the InsP(3)R2 was identified at Ser(937). The enhancing effects of PKA activation on this isoform required the phosphorylation of Ser(937), since replacing this residue with alanine eliminated the positive effects of PKA activation. These results provide a mechanism responsible for the enhanced Ca(2+) signaling following PKA activation in cells that express predominantly InsP(3)R2.

Project description:Osteoclast activity is central to balanced bone turnover to maintain normal bone mass. A specialized osteoclast attachment to bone localizes acid secretion to remove bone mineral; in some cases, attachment is functionally impaired despite normal attachment proteins. The inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-1 (IP3R1) is an intracellular calcium channel required for regulation of reversible osteoclast attachment by nitric oxide (NO), an important regulator of both normal and pathological bone degradation. In studies using human osteoclasts produced in vitro, we found that IP3R1 binds an endosomal isoform of the IP3R-associated cGMP-dependent kinase substrate (IRAG). IRAG is a substrate of cGMP-dependent kinase-1 (PKG1) and binds the PKG1 isoform PKG1β, which was the predominant form of PKG1 in human osteoclasts. Western blots of IRAG were consistent with NO-dependent serine phosphorylation of IRAG. An additional effect of PKG1β activity in osteoclasts was disassociation of IP3R1-IRAG complexes, as shown by analysis of IP3R1 complexes and by localization of the proteins within cells. IP3R1-IRAG complexes were stabilized by PKG or Src antagonists, Src activity being a requirement for IP3R1 calcium release downstream of PKG. IP3R1-mediated calcium release regulates cellular detachment in part through the calcium-dependent proteinase μ-calpain. In osteoclasts with IRAG suppressed by siRNA, activity of μ-calpain was increased relative to cells with normal IRAG, and regulation of μ-calpain by NO was lost. Furthermore, cells deficient in IRAG detached easily from substrate and had smaller attached diameters and randomly distributed podosomes, although IRAG knockdown did not affect cell viability. Our results indicate that IRAG is required for PKG1β-regulated cyclic calcium release during motility, and that disruption of the IP3R1-IRAG calcium regulation system is a novel cause of dysfunctional osteoclasts unrelated to defects in attachment proteins or acid secretion.
