Phosphorylation of a cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (HSPDE4B2B) by mitogen-activated protein kinase.

ABSTRACT: A cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, HSPDE4B2B, was found to be phosphorylated when expressed in Sf9 cells or yeast. Deletion of amino acids 81-151 and 529-564 had no effect on the phosphorylation of HSPDE4B2B. Mass spectrometric analysis of purified HSPDE4B2B(1-564). HSPDE4B2B(81-564) and HSPDE4B2B(152-528) showed that phosphorylation occurred predominantly on Ser487 and Ser489. The stoicheiometry of phosphorylation was 1.2:1 (Ser487:Ser487, 489). There was no evidence by MS for a non-phosphorylated form of HSPDE4B2B(81-564) or HSPDE4B2B(152-528) when expressed in Sf9 cells. There was no detectable phosphorylation of purified HSPDE4B2B(152-528) expressed in Escherichia coli. Radiolabelling experiments with 32P revealed that phosphorylation of HSPDE4B2B(152-528) expressed in Sf9 cells was abolished when Ser487 and Ser489 were mutated to alanines. Analysis of the amino acid sequence revealed that Ser487 and Ser489 of HSPDE4B2B conform to the consensus motifs for phosphorylation by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) and casein kinase II respectively. Kinetic experiments in vitro showed that MAP kinase-phosphorylated E.coli expressed and purified HSPDE4B2B(151-528) with a K(m) of 63 microM and a Vmax of 3.0 mumol/min per mg. In comparison, MAP kinase phosphorylated myelin basic protein with a Km of 26.0 microM and a Vmax of 5.5 mumol/min per mg under the same conditions. Using MS and mutational analysis we found that MAP kinase-phosphorylated E. coli expressed HSPDE4B2B(152-528) exclusively at Ser487. These results suggest that phosphodiesterases could contribute to the cross-talk between the cAMP and MAP kinase signalling pathways.

Action of rolipram on specific PDE4 cAMP phosphodiesterase isoforms and on the phosphorylation of cAMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in U937 monocytic cells.

Project description:U937 monocytic cells are shown here to express a range of PDE4, cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzymes: the long isoenzymes, PDE4A4, PDE4D5 and PDE4D3, plus the short isoenzyme, PDE4B2. These isoenzymes provide around 76% of the total cAMP PDE activity of U937 cells. The specific activities of the total PDE4A, PDE4B and PDE4D activities were 0.63+/-0.09, 8.8+/-0.2 and 34.4+/-2.9 pmol/min per mg of protein respectively. The PDE4 selective inhibitor, rolipram, inhibited immunopurified PDE4B and PDE4D activities similarly, with IC(50) values of approx. 130 nM and 240 nM respectively. In contrast, rolipram inhibited immunopurified PDE4A activity with a dramatically lower IC(50) value of around 3 nM. Rolipram increased phosphorylation of cAMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) in U937 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, which implied the presence of both high affinity (IC(50) value approx. 1 nM) and low affinity (IC(50) value approx. 120 nM) components. Rolipram dose-dependently inhibited the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-stimulated phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in a simple monotonic fashion with an IC(50) value of approx. 290 nM. On this basis, it is suggested that rolipram inhibition of PDE4A4 is involved in regulating CREB phosphorylation but not IFN-gamma-stimulated p38 MAP kinase phosphorylation. PDE4A4 was also selectively activated by challenge of U937 cells with either bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or IFN-gamma through a process which was attenuated by both wortmannin and rapamycin. It is proposed that the PDE4A4 isoform is involved in compartmentalized cAMP signalling responses in U937 monocytes.

Redox-dependent dimerization of p38? mitogen-activated protein kinase with mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3.

Project description:The kinase p38? MAPK (p38?) plays a pivotal role in many biological processes. p38? is activated by canonical upstream kinases that phosphorylate the activation region. The purpose of our study was to determine whether such activation may depend on redox-sensing cysteines within p38?. p38? was activated and formed a disulfide-bound heterodimer with MAP2K3 (MKK3) in rat cardiomyocytes and isolated hearts exposed to H2O2 This disulfide heterodimer was sensitive to reduction by mercaptoethanol and was enhanced by the thioredoxin-reductase inhibitor auranofin. We predicted that Cys-119 or Cys-162 of p38?, close to the known MKK3 docking domain, were relevant for these redox characteristics. The C119S mutation decreased whereas the C162S mutation increased the dimer formation, suggesting that these two Cys residues act as vicinal thiols, consistent with C119S/C162S being incapable of sensing H2O2 Similarly, disulfide heterodimer formation was abolished in H9C2 cells expressing both MKK3 and p38? C119S/C162S and subjected to simulated ischemia and reperfusion. However, the p38? C119S/C162S mutants did not exhibit appreciable alteration in activating dual phosphorylation. In contrast, the anti-inflammatory agent 10-nitro-oleic acid (NO2-OA), a component of the Mediterranean diet, reduced p38? activation and covalently modified Cys-119/Cys-162, probably obstructing MKK3 access. Moreover, NO2-OA reduced the dephosphorylation of p38? by hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP). Furthermore, steric obstruction of Cys-119/Cys-162 by NO2-OA pretreatment in Langendorff-perfused murine hearts prevented the p38-MKK3 disulfide dimer formation and attenuated H2O2-induced contractile dysfunction. Our findings suggest that cysteine residues within p38? act as redox sensors that can dynamically regulate the association between p38 and MKK3.

PBK/TOPK, a proliferating neural progenitor-specific mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase.

Project description:We performed genomic subtraction coupled to microarray-based gene expression profiling and identified the PDZ (postsynaptic density-95/Discs large/zona occludens-1)-binding kinase/T-LAK (lymphokine-activated killer T cell) cell originating protein kinase (PBK/TOPK) as a gene highly enriched in neural stem cell cultures. Previous studies have identified PBK/TOPK as a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase that phosphorylated P38 MAPK but with no known expression or function in the nervous system. First, using a novel, bioinformatics-based approach to assess cross-correlation in large microarray datasets, we generated the hypothesis of a cell-cycle-related role for PBK/TOPK in neural cells. We then demonstrated that both PBK/TOPK and P38 are activated in a cell-cycle-dependent manner in neuronal progenitor cells in vitro, and inhibition of this pathway disrupts progenitor proliferation and self-renewal, a core feature of progenitors. In vivo, PBK/TOPK is expressed in rapidly proliferating cells in the adult subependymal zone (SEZ) and early postnatal cerebellar external granular layer. Using an approach based on transgenically targeted ablation and lineage tracing in mice, we show that PBK/TOPK-positive cells in the SEZ are GFAP negative but arise from GFAP-positive neural stem cells during adult neurogenesis. Furthermore, ablation of the adult stem cell population leads to concomitant loss of PBK/TOPK-positive cells in the SEZ. Together, these studies demonstrate that PBK/TOPK is a marker for transiently amplifying neural progenitors in the SEZ. Additionally, they suggest that PBK/TOPK plays an important role in these progenitors, and further implicates the P38 MAPK pathway in general, as an important regulator of progenitor proliferation and self-renewal.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase regulation of the phosphodiesterase RegA in early <i>Dictyostelium</i> development.

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) regulation of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase function has been demonstrated in mammalian cells and suspected to occur in other eukaryotes. Epistasis analysis in the soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum suggests the atypical MAPK Erk2 downregulates the function of the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase RegA to regulate progression of the developmental life cycle. A putative MAPK docking motif located near a predicted MAPK phosphorylation site was characterized for contributions to RegA function and binding to Erk2 because a similar docking motif has been previously characterized in the mammalian PDE4D phosphodiesterase. The overexpression of RegA with alterations to this docking motif (RegAD-) restored RegA function to regA- cells based on developmental phenotypes, but low-level expression of RegAD- from the endogenous regA promoter failed to rescue wild-type morphogenesis. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis indicated that Erk2 associates with both RegA and RegAD-, suggesting the docking motif is not required for this association. Epistasis analysis between regA and the only other Dictyostelium MAPK, erk1, suggests Erk1 and RegA can function in different pathways but that some erk1- phenotypes may require cAMP signalling. These results imply that MAPK downregulation of RegA in Dictyostelium is accomplished through a different mechanism than MAPK regulation of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases in mammalian cells and that the regulation in Dictyostelium does not require a proximal MAPK docking motif.

Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase) cascade by aldosterone.

Project description:Aldosterone in some tissues increases expression of the mRNA encoding the small monomeric G protein Ki-RasA. Renal A6 epithelial cells were used to determine whether induction of Ki-ras leads to concomitant increases in the total as well as active levels of Ki-RasA and whether this then leads to subsequent activation of its effector mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase) cascade. The molecular basis and cellular consequences of this action were specifically investigated. We identified the intron 1-exon 1 region (rasI/E1) of the mouse Ki-ras gene as sufficient to reconstitute aldosterone responsiveness to a heterologous promotor. Aldosterone increased reporter gene activity containing rasI/E1 threefold. Aldosterone increased the absolute and GTP-bound levels of Ki-RasA by a similar extent, suggesting that activation resulted from mass action and not effects on GTP binding/hydrolysis rates. Aldosterone significantly increased Ki-RasA and MAPK activity as early as 15 min with activation peaking by 2 h and waning after 4 h. Inhibitors of transcription, translation, and a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist attenuated MAPK signaling. Similarly, rasI/E1-driven luciferase expression was sensitive to glucocorticoid receptor blockade. Overexpression of dominant-negative RasN17, addition of antisense Ki-rasA and inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase also attenuated steroid-dependent increases in MAPK signaling. Thus, activation of MAPK by aldosterone is dependent, in part, on a genomic mechanism involving induction of Ki-ras transcription and subsequent activation of its downstream effectors. This genomic mechanism has a distinct time course from activation by traditional mitogens, such as serum, which affect the GTP-binding state and not absolute levels of Ras. The result of such a genomic mechanism is that peak activation of the MAPK cascade by adrenal corticosteroids is delayed but prolonged.

Mitotic phosphorylation of Golgi reassembly stacking protein 55 by mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK2.

Project description:The role of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MKK)/extracellular-activated protein kinase (ERK) pathway in mitotic Golgi disassembly is controversial, in part because Golgi-localized targets have not been identified. We observed that Golgi reassembly stacking protein 55 (GRASP55) was phosphorylated in mitotic cells and extracts, generating a mitosis-specific phospho-epitope recognized by the MPM2 mAb. This phosphorylation was prevented by mutation of ERK consensus sites in GRASP55. GRASP55 mitotic phosphorylation was significantly reduced, both in vitro and in vivo, by treatment with U0126, a potent and specific inhibitor of MKK and thus ERK activation. Furthermore, ERK2 directly phosphorylated GRASP55 on the same residues that generated the MPM2 phospho-epitope. These results are the first demonstration of GRASP55 mitotic phosphorylation and indicate that the MKK/ERK pathway directly phosphorylates the Golgi during mitosis.

cAMP-stimulated protein phosphatase 2A activity associated with muscle A kinase-anchoring protein (mAKAP) signaling complexes inhibits the phosphorylation and activity of the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase PDE4D3.

Project description:The concentration of the second messenger cAMP is tightly controlled in cells by the activity of phosphodiesterases. We have previously described how the protein kinase A-anchoring protein mAKAP serves as a scaffold for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase PKA and the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase PDE4D3 in cardiac myocytes. PKA and PDE4D3 constitute a negative feedback loop whereby PKA-catalyzed phosphorylation and activation of PDE4D3 attenuate local cAMP levels. We now show that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) associated with mAKAP complexes is responsible for reversing the activation of PDE4D3 by catalyzing the dephosphorylation of PDE4D3 serine residue 54. Mapping studies reveal that a C-terminal mAKAP domain (residues 2085-2319) binds PP2A. Binding to mAKAP is required for PP2A function, such that deletion of the C-terminal domain enhances both base-line and forskolin-stimulated PDE4D3 activity. Interestingly, PP2A holoenzyme associated with mAKAP complexes in the heart contains the PP2A targeting subunit B56delta. Like PDE4D3, B56delta is a PKA substrate, and PKA phosphorylation of mAKAP-bound B56delta enhances phosphatase activity 2-fold in the complex. Accordingly, expression of a B56delta mutant that cannot be phosphorylated by PKA results in increased PDE4D3 phosphorylation. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that PP2A associated with mAKAP complexes promotes PDE4D3 dephosphorylation, serving both to inhibit PDE4D3 in unstimulated cells and also to mediate a cAMP-induced positive feedback loop following adenylyl cyclase activation and B56delta phosphorylation. In general, PKA.PP2A.mAKAP complexes exemplify how protein kinases and phosphatases may participate in molecular signaling complexes to dynamically regulate localized intracellular signaling.

Arg3.1/Arc mRNA induction by Ca2+ and cAMP requires protein kinase A and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular regulated kinase activation.

Project description:Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a cellular model for persistent synaptic plasticity in the mammalian brain. Like several forms of memory, long-lasting LTP requires cAMP-mediated activation of protein kinase A (PKA) and is dependent on gene transcription. Consequently, activity-dependent genes such as c-fos that contain cAMP response elements (CREs) in their 5' regulatory region have been studied intensely. More recently, arg3.1/arc became of interest, because after synaptic stimulation, arg3.1/arc mRNA is rapidly induced and distributed to dendritic processes and may be locally translated there to facilitate synapse-specific modifications. However, to date nothing is known about the signaling mechanisms involved in the induction of this gene. Here we report that arg3.1/arc is robustly induced with LTP stimulation even at intensities that are not sufficient to activate c-fos expression. Unlike c-fos, the 5' regulatory region of arg3.1/arc does not contain a CRE consensus sequence and arg3.1/arc is unresponsive to cAMP in NIH3T3 and Neuro2a cells. However, in PC12 cells and primary cultures of hippocampal neurons, arg3.1/arc can be induced by cAMP and calcium. This induction requires the activity of PKA and mitogen-activated protein kinase, suggesting a neuron-specific pathway for the activation of arg3.1/arc expression.

Vector-independent transmembrane transport of oligodeoxyribonucleotides involves p38 mitogen activated protein kinase phosphorylation.

Project description:The main roles of equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs) and concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNTs) are to transfer single nucleosides and analogues for the nucleic acid salvage pathway. Oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) can be transported into the cytoplasm or nucleus of cells under certain conditions. Among ODNs composed of a single type of nucleotide, the transport efficiency differs with the length and nucleotide composition of the ODNs and varies in different types of leukaemia cells; among the 5 tested random sequence ODNs and 3 aptamers with varying sequences, the data showed that some sequences were associated with significantly higher transport efficiency than others. The transport of ODNs was sodium, energy, and pH-independent, membrane protein-dependent, substrate nonspecific for ODNs and 4-nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR)-insensitive, but it showed a low sensitivity to dipyridamole (IC50?=?35.44 µmol/L), distinguishing it from ENT1-4 and CNTs. The delivery efficiency of ODNs was superior to that of Lipofection and Nucleofection, demonstrating its potential applications in research or therapeutics. Moreover, this process was associated with p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) instead of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signalling pathways. We have denoted ODN transmembrane transport as equilibrative nucleic acid transport (ENAT). Overall, these findings indicate a new approach and mechanism for transmembrane transport of ODNs.

Precisely ordered phosphorylation reactions in the p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade.

Project description:The MAP kinase cascades, composed of a MAP3K, a MAP2K, and a MAPK, control switch responses to extracellular stimuli and stress in eukaryotes. The most important feature of these modules is thought to be the two double phosphorylation reactions catalyzed by MAP3Ks and MAP2Ks. We addressed whether the reactions are sequential or random in the p38 MAP kinase module. Mass spectrometry was used to track the phosphorylation of the MAP2K MEK6 by two MAP3Ks, TAO2 and ASK1, and the subsequent phosphorylation of p38? by MEK6/S*T* (where S (Ser) and T (Thr) are the two phosphorylation sites and * denotes phosphorylation). Both double phosphorylation reactions are precisely ordered. MEK6 is phosphorylated first on Thr-211 and then on Ser-207 by both MAP3Ks. This is the first demonstration of a precise reaction order for a MAP2K. p38? is phosphorylated first on Tyr-182 and then on Thr-180, the same reaction order observed previously in ERK2. Thus, intermediates were MEK6/ST* and p38?/TY*. Similarly, the phosphorylation of the p38? transcription factor substrate ATF2 occurs in a precise sequence. Progress curves for the appearance of intermediates were fit to kinetic models. The models confirmed the reaction order, revealed processivity in the phosphorylation of MEK6 by ASK1, and suggested that the order of phosphorylation is dictated by both binding and catalysis rates.
