The in vivo role of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding to PDK1 PH domain defined by knockin mutation.

ABSTRACT: We generated homozygous knockin ES cells expressing a form of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) with a mutation in its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that abolishes phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-tris-phosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) binding, without affecting catalytic activity. In the knockin cells, protein kinase B (PKB) was not activated by IGF1, whereas ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) was activated normally, indicating that PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding to PDK1 is required for PKB but not RSK activation. Interestingly, amino acids and Rheb, but not IGF1, activated S6K in the knockin cells, supporting the idea that PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 stimulates S6K through PKB-mediated activation of Rheb. Employing PDK1 knockin cells in which either the PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding or substrate-docking 'PIF pocket' was disrupted, we established the roles that these domains play in regulating phosphorylation and stabilisation of protein kinase C isoforms. Moreover, mouse PDK1 knockin embryos in which either the PH domain or PIF pocket was disrupted died displaying differing phenotypes between E10.5 and E11.5. Although PDK1 plays roles in regulating cell size, cells derived from PH domain or PIF pocket knockin embryos were of normal size. These experiments establish the roles of the PDK1 regulatory domains and illustrate the power of knockin technology to probe the physiological function of protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions.

Project description:Many cytosolic proteins are recruited to the plasma membrane (PM) during cell signaling and other cellular processes. Recent reports have indicated that phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)), and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) that are present in the PM play important roles for their specific PM recruitment. To systematically analyze how these lipids mediate PM targeting of cellular proteins, we performed biophysical, computational, and cell studies of the Ca(2+)-dependent C2 domain of protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) that is known to bind PS and phosphoinositides. In vitro membrane binding measurements by surface plasmon resonance analysis show that PKCalpha-C2 nonspecifically binds phosphoinositides, including PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3), but that PS and Ca(2+) binding is prerequisite for productive phosphoinositide binding. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) augments the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding of PKCalpha-C2 by slowing its membrane dissociation. Molecular dynamics simulations also support that Ca(2+)-dependent PS binding is essential for membrane interactions of PKCalpha-C2. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) alone cannot drive the membrane attachment of the domain but further stabilizes the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding. When the fluorescence protein-tagged PKCalpha-C2 was expressed in NIH-3T3 cells, mutations of phosphoinositide-binding residues or depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and/or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) from PM did not significantly affect the PM association of the domain but accelerated its dissociation from PM. Also, local synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) at the PM slowed membrane dissociation of PKCalpha-C2. Collectively, these studies show that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) augment the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding of PKCalpha-C2 by elongating the membrane residence of the domain but cannot drive the PM recruitment of PKCalpha-C2. These studies also suggest that effective PM recruitment of many cellular proteins may require synergistic actions of PS and phosphoinositides.
