GSK3β modulates NF-κB activation and RelB degradation through site-specific phosphorylation of BCL10.

ABSTRACT: Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase involved in the regulation of various cellular functions, such as energy homoeostasis, cell growth and developmental processes. More recently, GSK3β has been identified as a part of a protein complex involved in the regulation of the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 complex (CBM complex) formation, which is a key signalling event upon antigen receptor engagement of B and T cells, required for the activation of the NF-κB and JNK pathways. However, conflicting reports have been published regarding the role of GSK3β for the activation of the NF-κB signalling pathways. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of GSK3β on the NF-κB signalling induced upon T cell activation. Blocking GSK3β by either pharmacologic inhibitors (SB216763 and SB415286) or by RNAi caused a reduced proteolysis of the MALT1 targets CYLD1, BCL10 and RelB as well as diminished IκBα degradation, NF-κB DNA binding and NF-κB activity. This negative effect on NF-κB appears to be due to a diminished CBM complex formation caused by a reduced BCL10 phosphorylation. Taken together, we provide here evidence for a novel regulatory mechanism by which GSK3β affects NF-κB signalling in activated T cells.

Project description:The family of NF-κB transcriptional activators controls the expression of many genes, including those involved in cell survival and development. The family consists of homo- and heterodimers constituted by combinations of five subunits. Subunit p50 includes 13 tyrosine residues, but the relationship between specific tyrosine phosphorylations and p50 function is not well understood. Subunits of p50 and p65 prepared in vitro formed a heterodimer, but this NF-κB would not bind to the interleukin-2 (IL-2) promoter DNA. Treatment of p50 with guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and a lysate from activated Jurkat cells, effected rapid p50 phosphorylation, and, in the presence of wild-type subunit p65, was accompanied on the same time scale by IL-2 promoter DNA binding. Modified p50s containing one of seven stoichiometrically phosphorylated tyrosines in NF-κB p50/p65 heterodimers, included three that facilitated binding to the IL-2 DNA promoter region to a greater extent than the wild type. One of these three stoichiometrically phosphorylated p50/p65 heterodimers of NF-κB, containing pTyr60 in the p50 subunit, was treated with a lysate from activated Jurkat cells + GTP and shown to be phosphorylated on the same time scale as wild-type p50. This modified NF-κB also developed IL-2 promoter DNA binding activity on the same time scale as the wild type but exhibited greater binding to the IL-2 DNA promoters than the wild type. The nature of this enhanced binding was studied in greater detail using a metabolically stable pTyr derivative at position 60 of p50 and cellular phosphatases. We suggest that enhanced DNA binding of modified NF-κB containing pTyr60 in the p50 subunit may reflect stoichiometric NF-κB phosphorylation at a site that is not normally fully phosphorylated, or not phosphorylated at all, and is relatively resistant to the effects of Jurkat cell tyrosine phosphatase activity. This conclusion was reinforced by demonstrating that modification of Tyr60 of p50 with a metabolically stable methylenephosphonate moiety further increased the stability of the formed NF-κB p50/p65 heterodimer against the action of activated Jurkat cell phosphatases.
