Substrate-dependent control of MAPK phosphorylation in vivo.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is essential for its enzymatic activity and ability to control multiple substrates inside a cell. According to the current models, control of MAPK phosphorylation is independent of its substrates, which are viewed as mere sensors of MAPK activity. Contrary to this modular view of MAPK signaling, our studies in the Drosophila embryo demonstrate that substrates can regulate the level of MAPK phosphorylation in vivo. We demonstrate that a twofold change in the gene dosage of a single substrate can induce a significant change in the phosphorylation level of MAPK and in the conversion of other substrates. Our results support a model where substrates of MAPK counteract its dephosphorylation by phosphatases. Substrate-dependent control of MAPK phosphorylation is a manifestation of a more general retroactive effect that should be intrinsic to all networks with covalent modification cycles.

A temperature-dependent conformational shift in p38? MAPK substrate-binding region associated with changes in substrate phosphorylation profile.

Project description:Febrile-range hyperthermia worsens and hypothermia mitigates lung injury, and temperature dependence of lung injury is blunted by inhibitors of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Of the two predominant p38 isoforms, p38? is proinflammatory and p38? is cytoprotective. Here, we analyzed the temperature dependence of p38 MAPK activation, substrate interaction, and tertiary structure. Incubating HeLa cells at 39.5 °C stimulated modest p38 activation, but did not alter tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF?)-induced p38 activation. In in vitro kinase assays containing activated p38? and MAPK-activated kinase-2 (MK2), MK2 phosphorylation was 14.5-fold greater at 39.5 °C than at 33 °C. By comparison, we observed only 3.1- and 1.9-fold differences for activating transcription factor-2 (ATF2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription-1? (STAT1?) and a 7.7-fold difference for p38? phosphorylation of MK2. The temperature dependence of p38?:substrate binding affinity, as measured by surface plasmon resonance, paralleled substrate phosphorylation. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS (HDX-MS) of p38? performed at 33, 37, and 39.5 °C indicated temperature-dependent conformational changes in an ? helix near the common docking and glutamate:aspartate substrate-binding domains at the known binding site for MK2. In contrast, HDX-MS analysis of p38? did not detect significant temperature-dependent conformational changes in this region. We observed no conformational changes in the catalytic domain of either isoform and no corresponding temperature dependence in the C-terminal p38?-interacting region of MK2. Because MK2 participates in the pathogenesis of lung injury, the observed changes in the structure and function of proinflammatory p38? may contribute to the temperature dependence of acute lung injury.

Control of Akt activity and substrate phosphorylation in cells.

Project description:Protein kinase B/Akt is a serine/threonine kinase that links receptors coupled to the PI3K lipid kinase to cellular anabolic pathways. Its activity in cells is controlled by reversible phosphorylation and an intramolecular lipid-controlled allosteric switch. In this review, I outline the current progress in understanding Akt regulatory mechanisms, define three models of Akt activation in cells, and highlight how intramolecular allosterism cooperates with cell-autonomous mechanisms to control Akt localization and activity and direct it toward specific sets of substrates in cells.

Phosphorylation-dependent substrate selectivity of protein kinase B (AKT1).

Project description:Protein kinase B (AKT1) is a central node in a signaling pathway that regulates cell survival. The diverse pathways regulated by AKT1 are communicated in the cell via the phosphorylation of perhaps more than 100 cellular substrates. AKT1 is itself activated by phosphorylation at Thr-308 and Ser-473. Despite the fact that these phosphorylation sites are biomarkers for cancers and tumor biology, their individual roles in shaping AKT1 substrate selectivity are unknown. We recently developed a method to produce AKT1 with programmed phosphorylation at either or both of its key regulatory sites. Here, we used both defined and randomized peptide libraries to map the substrate selectivity of site-specific, singly and doubly phosphorylated AKT1 variants. To globally quantitate AKT1 substrate preferences, we synthesized three AKT1 substrate peptide libraries: one based on 84 "known" substrates and two independent and larger oriented peptide array libraries (OPALs) of ∼1011 peptides each. We found that each phospho-form of AKT1 has common and distinct substrate requirements. Compared with pAKT1T308, the addition of Ser-473 phosphorylation increased AKT1 activities on some, but not all of its substrates. This is the first report that Ser-473 phosphorylation can positively or negatively regulate kinase activity in a substrate-dependent fashion. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the OPAL-activity data effectively discriminate known AKT1 substrates from closely related kinase substrates. Our results also enabled predictions of novel AKT1 substrates that suggest new and expanded roles for AKT1 signaling in regulating cellular processes.

Osmotic stress inhibits proteasome by p38 MAPK-dependent phosphorylation.

Project description:Osmotic stress causes profound perturbations of cell functions. Although the adaptive responses required for cell survival upon osmotic stress are being unraveled, little is known about the effects of osmotic stress on ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. We now report that hyperosmotic stress inhibits proteasome activity by activating p38 MAPK. Osmotic stress increased the level of polyubiquitinated proteins in the cell. The selective p38 inhibitor SB202190 decreased osmotic stress-associated accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins, indicating that p38 MAPK plays an inhibitory role in the ubiquitin proteasome system. Activated p38 MAPK stabilized various substrates of the proteasome and increased polyubiquitinated proteins. Proteasome preparations purified from cells expressing activated p38 MAPK had substantially lower peptidase activities than control proteasome samples. Proteasome phosphorylation sites dependent on p38 were identified by measuring changes in the extent of proteasome phosphorylation in response to p38 MAPK activation. The residue Thr-273 of Rpn2 is the major phosphorylation site affected by p38 MAPK. The mutation T273A in Rpn2 blocked the proteasome inhibition that is mediated by p38 MAPK. These results suggest that p38 MAPK negatively regulates the proteasome activity by phosphorylating Thr-273 of Rpn2.

p38 MAPK enhances STAT1-dependent transcription independently of Ser-727 phosphorylation.

Project description:The transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) requires phosphorylation at both Tyr-701 and Ser-727 for full activation. IFN-gamma induces phosphorylation of both residues, whereas stress signals like UV or lipopolysaccharide stimulate phosphorylation of Ser-727 only. Using p38alpha mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-deficient cells, we show that the stress-induced phosphorylation of Ser-727 requires p38alpha MAPK activity, whereas IFN-gamma-stimulated Ser-727 phosphorylation occurs independently of the p38alpha pathway. Consistently, IFN-gamma stimulated expression of the STAT1 target gene IRF1 to a similar extent in both wild-type and p38alpha-deficient cells. However, stress-induced activation of the p38 MAPK pathway considerably enhanced the IFN-gamma-induced expression of both the endogenous IRF1 gene and a reporter driven by the IFN-gamma-activated sequence element of the IRF1 promoter. This enhancement occurred independently of increased phosphorylation of Ser-727 by the p38 pathway. Taken together, these results demonstrate an interaction between IFN-gamma signaling and the p38 pathway that leads to increased transcriptional activation by STAT1 independently of phosphorylation at Ser-727.

Control of MAPK specificity by feedback phosphorylation of shared adaptor protein Ste50.

Project description:Many different signaling pathways share common components but nevertheless invoke distinct physiological responses. In yeast, the adaptor protein Ste50 functions in multiple mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways, each with unique dynamical and developmental properties. Although Kss1 activity is sustained and promotes invasive growth, Hog1 activity is transient and promotes cell adaptation to osmotic stress. Here we show that osmotic stress activates Kss1 as well as Hog1. We show further that Hog1 phosphorylates Ste50 and that phosphorylation of Ste50 limits the duration of Kss1 activation and prevents invasive growth under high osmolarity growth conditions. Thus feedback regulation of a shared component can restrict the activity of a competing MAP kinase to ensure signal fidelity.

p38 MAPK-dependent phosphorylation of TFEB promotes monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation

Project description:The transcription factor EB (TFEB) regulates energy homeostasis and cellular response to a wide variety of stress conditions, including nutrient deprivation, oxidative stress, organelle damage, and pathogens. Here we identify S401 as a novel phosphorylation site within the TFEB proline-rich domain. Phosphorylation of S401 increases significantly in response to oxidative stress, UVC light, growth factors and LPS, whereas this increase is prevented by p38 MAPK inhibition or depletion, revealing a new role for p38 MAPK in TFEB regulation. Mutation of S401 in THP1 cells demonstrates that the p38 MAPK/TFEB pathway plays a particularly relevant role during monocyte differentiation into macrophages. TFEB-S401A monocytes fail to upregulate expression of multiple immune genes in response to PMA-induced differentiation, including critical cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. Polarization of M0 macrophages into M1 inflammatory macrophages is also aberrant in TFEB-S401A cells. These results indicate that TFEB-S401 phosphorylation links differentiation signals to the transcriptional control of monocyte differentiation.

p38 MAPK-dependent phosphorylation of TFEB promotes monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation

Project description:In addition to the role in lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy, TFEB has been described to participate in the control of inflammation and host defense against pathogen infection The activation of TFEB in toll-like receptor-induced or bacteria exposed macrophages is regulated by a mechanism independent of mTORC1 inactivation, suggesting that other protein kinases may participate in the regulation of TFEB function during macrophage activation In this study, we identified a novel role of p38 MAPK in TFEB regulation. We showed p38-dependent TFEB phosphorylation at serine 401 (S401) in response to a variety of stress conditions, including oxidative stress, UVC irradiation, growth factors, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. Furthermore, inhibition of S401 phosphorylation during PMA-induced monocyte differentiation prevented TFEB nuclear accumulation and resulted in reduced expression of multiple immune genes. TFEB-S401A expressing M0 macrophages also failed to efficiently polarize into M1 inflammatory macrophages, showing defective upregulation of cytokines and chemokines, as well as reduced inflammasome activation. We conclude that TFEB is a target of the p38 signaling pathway that is required for monocyte/macrophage differentiation and function.

Stress induces p38 MAPK-mediated phosphorylation and inhibition of Drosha-dependent cell survival.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the translational potential of their mRNA targets and control many cellular processes. The key step in canonical miRNA biogenesis is the cleavage of the primary transcripts by the nuclear RNase III enzyme Drosha. Emerging evidence suggests that the miRNA biogenic cascade is tightly controlled. However, little is known whether Drosha is regulated. Here, we show that Drosha is targeted by stress. Under stress, p38 MAPK directly phosphorylates Drosha at its N terminus. This reduces its interaction with DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 8 and promotes its nuclear export and degradation by calpain. This regulatory mechanism mediates stress-induced inhibition of Drosha function. Reduction of Drosha sensitizes cells to stress and increases death. In contrast, increase in Drosha attenuates stress-induced death. These findings reveal a critical regulatory mechanism by which stress engages p38 MAPK pathway to destabilize Drosha and inhibit Drosha-mediated cellular survival.

Photosensitive tyrosine analogues unravel site-dependent phosphorylation in TrkA initiated MAPK/ERK signaling.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) is a membrane receptor which, upon ligand binding, activates several pathways including MAPK/ERK signaling, implicated in a spectrum of human pathologies; thus, TrkA is an emerging therapeutic target in treatment of neuronal diseases and cancer. However, mechanistic insights into TrKA signaling are lacking due to lack of site-dependent phosphorylation control. Here we engineer two light-sensitive tyrosine analogues, namely p-azido-L-phenylalanine (AzF) and the caged-tyrosine (ONB), through amber codon suppression to optically manipulate the phosphorylation state of individual intracellular tyrosines in TrkA. We identify TrkA-AzF and ONB mutants, which can activate the ERK pathway in the absence of NGF ligand binding through light control. Our results not only reveal how TrkA site-dependent phosphorylation controls the defined signaling process, but also extend the genetic code expansion technology to enable regulation of receptor-type kinase activation by optical control at the precision of a single phosphorylation site. It paves the way for comprehensive analysis of kinase-associated pathways as well as screening of compounds intervening in a site-directed phosphorylation pathway for targeted therapy.
