Interaction of Nck1 and PERK phosphorylated at Y??¹ negatively modulates PERK activity and PERK regulation of pancreatic ?-cell proinsulin content.

ABSTRACT: PERK, the PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum (ER) kinase, is an ER transmembrane serine/threonine protein kinase activated during ER stress. In this study, we provide evidence that the Src-homology domain-containing adaptor Nck1 negatively regulates PERK. We show that Nck directly binds to phosphorylated Y(561) in the PERK juxtamembrane domain through its SH2 domain. We demonstrate that mutation of Y(561) to a nonphosphorylatable residue (Y561F) promotes PERK activity, suggesting that PERK phosphorylation at Y(561) (pY(561)PERK) negatively regulates PERK. In agreement, we show that pY(561)PERK delays PERK activation and signaling during ER stress. Compatible with a role for PERK in pancreatic ?-cells, we provide strong evidence that Nck1 contributes to PERK regulation of pancreatic ?-cell proteostasis. In fact, we demonstrated that down-regulation of Nck1 in mouse insulinoma MIN6 cells results in faster dephosphorylation of pY(561)PERK, which correlates with enhanced PERK activation, increased insulin biosynthesis, and PERK-dependent increase in proinsulin content. Furthermore, we report that pancreatic islets in whole-body Nck1-knockout mice contain more insulin than control littermates. Together our data strongly suggest that Nck1 negatively regulates PERK by interacting with PERK and protecting PERK from being dephosphorylated at its inhibitory site pY(561) and in this way affects pancreatic ?-cell proinsulin biogenesis.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisIncreased circulating levels of incompletely processed insulin (i.e. proinsulin) are observed clinically in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Previous studies have suggested that Ca2+ signalling within beta cells regulates insulin processing and secretion; however, the mechanisms that link impaired Ca2+ signalling with defective insulin maturation remain incompletely understood.MethodsWe generated mice with beta cell-specific sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase-2 (SERCA2) deletion (βS2KO mice) and used an INS-1 cell line model of SERCA2 deficiency. Whole-body metabolic phenotyping, Ca2+ imaging, RNA-seq and protein processing assays were used to determine how loss of SERCA2 impacts beta cell function. To test key findings in human model systems, cadaveric islets were treated with diabetogenic stressors and prohormone convertase expression patterns were characterised.ResultsβS2KO mice exhibited age-dependent glucose intolerance and increased plasma and pancreatic levels of proinsulin, while endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ levels and glucose-stimulated Ca2+ synchronicity were reduced in βS2KO islets. Islets isolated from βS2KO mice and SERCA2-deficient INS-1 cells showed decreased expression of the active forms of the proinsulin processing enzymes PC1/3 and PC2. Additionally, immunofluorescence staining revealed mis-location and abnormal accumulation of proinsulin and proPC2 in the intermediate region between the ER and the Golgi (i.e. the ERGIC) and in the cis-Golgi in beta cells of βS2KO mice. Treatment of islets from human donors without diabetes with high glucose and palmitate concentrations led to reduced expression of the active forms of the proinsulin processing enzymes, thus phenocopying the findings observed in βS2KO islets and SERCA2-deficient INS-1 cells. Similar findings were observed in wild-type mouse islets treated with brefeldin A, a compound that perturbs ER-to-Golgi trafficking.Conclusions/interpretationTaken together, these data highlight an important link between ER Ca2+ homeostasis and proinsulin processing in beta cells. Our findings suggest a model whereby chronic ER Ca2+ depletion due to SERCA2 deficiency impairs the spatial regulation of prohormone trafficking, processing and maturation within the secretory pathway.Data availabilityRNA-seq data have been deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; accession no.: GSE207498).
