Multisite dephosphorylation and desensitization of conventional protein kinase C isotypes.

ABSTRACT: The generation of antisera specific for the priming phosphorylation sites on protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) has permitted analysis of the dephosphorylation of these sites in relation to the down-regulation of the protein. It was demonstrated that these priming sites are subject to agonist-induced dephosphorylation, consistent with inactivation of the protein. Further, the process is shown to be blocked by a PKC inhibitor, indicating a requirement for PKC catalytic activity. This was corroborated by showing that a constitutively active fragment of PKCalpha is able to stimulate the dephosphorylation of wild-type PKCalpha in transfected cells. Consistent with a membrane-traffic event, the process controlled by PKC that leads to dephosphorylation is shown to be temperature-sensitive and to correlate with transient accumulation of PKCalpha on cytoplasmic vesicular structures. It was established that the dephosphorylation of priming sites in PKCalpha is not unique and occurs with other conventional PKC isotypes, demonstrating that this is a general desensitization process for this subclass of kinases. The physiological importance of this desensitization is evidenced by the behaviour of PKCbeta1 in U937 cells, where dephosphorylation of the activation loop site is shown to be a function of cell density.

Raf kinase inhibitory protein reduces bradykinin receptor desensitization.

Project description:Inflammatory hyperalgesia represents a nociceptive phenotype that can become persistent in nature through dynamic protein modifications. However, a large gap in knowledge exists concerning how the integration of intracellular signaling molecules coordinates a persistent inflammatory phenotype. Herein, we demonstrate that Raf Kinase Anchoring Protein (RKIP) interrupts a vital canonical desensitization pathway to maintain bradykinin (BK) receptor activation in primary afferent neurons. Biochemical analyses of primary neuronal cultures indicate bradykinin-stimulated PKC phosphorylation of RKIP at Ser153. Furthermore, BK exposure increases G-protein Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) binding to RKIP, inhibiting pharmacological desensitization of the BK receptor. Additional studies found that molecular RKIP down-regulation increases BK receptor desensitization in real-time imaging of primary afferent neurons, identifying a key pathway integrator in the desensitization process that controls multiple GRK2-sensitive G-protein coupled receptors. Therefore, RKIP serves as an integral scaffolding protein that inhibits BK receptor desensitization.

Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase beta is regulated by multisite phosphorylation.

Project description:Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β (CaMKKβ) is a serine/threonine-directed kinase that is activated following increases in intracellular Ca(2+). CaMKKβ activates Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV, and the AMP-dependent protein kinase in a number of physiological pathways, including learning and memory formation, neuronal differentiation, and regulation of energy balance. Here, we report the novel regulation of CaMKKβ activity by multisite phosphorylation. We identify three phosphorylation sites in the N terminus of CaMKKβ, which regulate its Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent autonomous activity. We then identify the kinases responsible for these phosphorylations as cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). In addition to regulation of autonomous activity, we find that phosphorylation of CaMKKβ regulates its half-life. We find that cellular levels of CaMKKβ correlate with CDK5 activity and are regulated developmentally in neurons. Finally, we demonstrate that appropriate phosphorylation of CaMKKβ is critical for its role in neurite development. These results reveal a novel regulatory mechanism for CaMKKβ-dependent signaling cascades.

Multisite phosphorylation of P-Rex1 by protein kinase C.

Project description:P-Rex proteins are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that act on the Rho/Rac family of GTP binding proteins. The activity of P-Rex proteins is regulated by several extracellular stimuli. In fact, activation of growth factor receptors has been reported to activate a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cycle of P-Rex1. Such cycle includes dephosphorylation of serines 313 and 319 which negatively regulate the GEF activity of P-Rex1, together with phosphorylation of serines 605 and 1169 which favour P-Rex1 GEF activity. However, the kinases that regulate phosphorylation at these different regulatory sites are largely unknown. Here we have investigated the potential regulatory action of several kinases on the phosphorylation of P-Rex1 at S313, S319, S605 and S1169. We show that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) caused phosphorylation of S313, S319 and S1169. Activation of growth factor receptors induced phosphorylation of S1169 through a mechanism that was independent of PKC, indicating that distinct kinases and mechanisms control the phosphorylation of P-Rex1 at different regulatory serines. Genetic and biochemical studies confirmed that the PKC isoform PKCδ was able to directly phosphorylate P-Rex1 at S313. Functional studies using cells with very low endogenous P-Rex1 expression, transfected with wild type P-Rex1 or a mutant form in which S313 was substituted by alanine, indicated that phosphorylation at that residue negatively regulated P-Rex1 exchange activity. We suggest that control of P-Rex1 activity depends on a highly dynamic interplay among distinct signalling routes and its multisite phosphorylation is controlled by the action of different kinases.

Autoregulation of kinase dephosphorylation by ATP binding in AGC protein kinases.

Project description:AGC kinases, including the three Akt (protein kinase B) isoforms, protein kinase A (PKA) and all protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms, require activation loop phosphorylation (threonine 308 in Akt1) as well as phosphorylation of a C-terminal residue (serine 473 in Akt1) for catalytic activity and phosphorylation of downstream targets. Conversely, phosphatases reverse these phosphorylations. Virtually all cellular processes are affected by AGC kinases, a circumstance that has led to intense scrutiny of the molecular mechanisms that regulate phosphorylation of these kinases. Here, we review a new layer of control of phosphorylation in Akt, PKA and PKC pointing to ATP binding pocket occupancy as a means to decelerate dephosphorylation of these and, potentially, other kinases. This additional level of kinase regulation opens the door to search for new functional motifs for the rational design of non- ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors that discriminate within and between protein kinase families.

Regulation of protein kinase CK1alphaLS by dephosphorylation in response to hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Low levels of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) are mitogenic to mammalian cells and stimulate the hyperphosphorylation of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP-C) by protein kinase CK1alpha. However, the mechanisms by which CK1alpha is regulated have been unclear. Here it is demonstrated that low levels of H(2)O(2) stimulate the rapid dephosphorylation of CK1alphaLS, a nuclear splice form of CK1alpha. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that either treatment of endothelial cells with H(2)O(2), or dephosphorylation of CK1alphaLS in vitro enhances the association of CK1alphaLS with hnRNP-C. In addition, dephosphorylation of CK1alphaLS in vitro enhances the kinase's ability to phosphorylate hnRNP-C. While CK1alpha appears to be present in all metazoans, analysis of CK1alpha genomic sequences from several species reveals that the alternatively spliced nuclear localizing L-insert is unique to vertebrates, as is the case for hnRNP-C. These observations indicate that CK1alphaLS and hnRNP-C represent conserved components of a vertebrate-specific H(2)O(2)-responsive nuclear signaling pathway.

AMP-activated protein kinase slows D2 dopamine autoreceptor desensitization in substantia nigra neurons.

Project description:Dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra zona compacta (SNC) are well known to express D2 receptors. When dopamine is released from somatodendritic sites, activation of D2 autoreceptors suppresses dopamine neuronal activity through activation of G protein-coupled K+ channels. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a master enzyme that acts in somatic tissues to suppress energy expenditure and encourage energy production. We hypothesize that AMPK may also conserve energy in central neurons by reducing desensitization of D2 autoreceptors. We used whole-cell patch-clamp recordings to study the effects of AMPK activators and inhibitors on D2 autoreceptor-mediated current in SNC neurons in midbrain slices from rat pups (11-23 days post-natal). Slices were superfused with 100 μM dopamine or 30 μM quinpirole for 25 min, which evoked outward currents that decayed slowly over time. Although the AMPK activators A769662 and ZLN024 significantly slowed rundown of dopamine-evoked current, slowing of quinpirole-evoked current required the presence of a D1-like agonist (SKF38393). Moreover, the D1-like agonist also slowed the rundown of quinpirole-induced current even in the absence of an AMPK activator. Pharmacological antagonist experiments showed that the D1-like agonist effect required activation of either protein kinase A (PKA) or exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 2 (Epac2) pathways. In contrast, the effect of AMPK on rundown of current evoked by quinpirole plus SKF38393 required PKA but not Epac2. We conclude that AMPK slows D2 autoreceptor desensitization by augmenting the effect of D1-like receptors.

Dual-Action Kinase Inhibitors Influence p38α MAP Kinase Dephosphorylation.

Project description:Reversible protein phosphorylation directs essential cellular processes including cell division, cell growth, cell death, inflammation, and differentiation. Because protein phosphorylation drives diverse diseases, kinases and phosphatases have been targets for drug discovery, with some achieving remarkable clinical success. Most protein kinases are activated by phosphorylation of their activation loops, which shifts the conformational equilibrium of the kinase towards the active state. To turn off the kinase, protein phosphatases dephosphorylate these sites, but how the conformation of the dynamic activation loop contributes to dephosphorylation was not known. To answer this, we modulated the activation loop conformational equilibrium of human p38α ΜΑP kinase with existing kinase inhibitors that bind and stabilize specific inactive activation loop conformations. From this, we discovered three inhibitors that increase the rate of dephosphorylation of the activation loop phospho-threonine by the PPM serine/threonine phosphatase WIP1. Hence, these compounds are "dual-action" inhibitors that simultaneously block the active site and stimulate p38α dephosphorylation. Our X-ray crystal structures of phosphorylated p38α bound to the dual-action inhibitors reveal a shared flipped conformation of the activation loop with a fully accessible phospho-threonine. In contrast, our X-ray crystal structure of phosphorylated apo human p38α reveals a different activation loop conformation with an inaccessible phospho-threonine, thereby explaining the increased rate of dephosphorylation upon inhibitor binding. These findings reveal a conformational preference of phosphatases for their targets and suggest a new approach to achieving improved potency and specificity for therapeutic kinase inhibitors.

Downregulation of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 by protein kinase C-mediated dephosphorylation.

Project description:Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) are ion channels that detect cold and hot sensations, respectively. Their activation depolarizes the peripheral nerve terminals resulting in action potentials that propagate to brain via the spinal cord. These receptors also play a significant role in synaptic transmission between dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and dorsal horn (DH) neurons. Here, we show that TRPM8 is functionally downregulated by activation of protein kinase C (PKC) resulting in inhibition of membrane currents and increases in intracellular Ca2+ compared with upregulation of TRPV1 in cloned and native receptors. Bradykinin significantly downregulates TRPM8 via activation of PKC in DRG neurons. Activation of TRPM8 or TRPV1 at first sensory synapse between DRG and DH neurons leads to a robust increase in frequency of spontaneous/miniature EPSCs. PKC activation blunts TRPM8- and facilitates TRPV1-mediated synaptic transmission. Significantly, downregulation is attributable to PKC-mediated dephosphorylation of TRPM8 that could be reversed by phosphatase inhibitors. These findings suggest that inflammatory thermal hyperalgesia mediated by TRPV1 may be further aggravated by downregulation of TRPM8, because the latter could mediate the much needed cool/soothing sensation.

Ordered multisite phosphorylation of lethal giant larvae by atypical protein kinase C.

Project description:In Par complex-mediated cell polarity, phosphorylation by atypical protein kinase C (aPKC) is coupled to substrate cortical displacement. Polarized substrates often contain multiple phosphorylation sites, but the role of multisite phosphorylation in Par-mediated polarity remains unclear. Here, we have dissected the role of the three aPKC phosphorylation sites within the tumor suppressor Lethal giant larvae. Using a cultured Drosophila S2 cell cortical displacement assay, we observed that phosphorylation at any one site causes only partial displacement. Complete displacement requires that all three sites be modified. We undertook a kinetic analysis to determine if aPKC phosphorylates each site equivalently. As the sites are closely spaced, we observed not only differences in the rate of phosphorylation but also interaction between the sites. A complete description of the rates reveals a preferential order of phosphorylation. Our results provide new insights into how multiple phosphorylations and phosphorylation rates could regulate localization behaviors of fate determinants at the cortex.

Phosphorylation of GAP-43 (growth-associated protein of 43 kDa) by conventional, novel and atypical isotypes of the protein kinase C gene family: differences between oligopeptide and polypeptide phosphorylation.

Project description:GAP-43 (growth-associated protein of 43 kDa; also known as neuromodulin, P-57, B-50 and F-1) is a neuronal calmodulin binding protein and a major protein kinase C (PKC) substrate in mammalian brain. Here we describe the phosphorylation by and the site specificity of different PKC isotypes. The conventional PKC beta 1 and the novel PKCs delta and epsilon effectively phosphorylated recombinant GAP-43 in vitro; atypical PKC zeta did not. The K(m) values (between 0.6 and 2.3 microM) were very low, demonstrating a high-affinity interaction between kinase and substrate. All PKC isotypes were shown to phosphorylate serine-41 in GAP-43. When using a 19-amino-acid oligopeptide based on the GAP-43 phosphorylation site as substrate, there was a significant difference compared with polypeptide phosphorylation. The V(max) values of PKC beta 1 and PKC epsilon were much higher for this oligopeptide than for the complete protein (up to 10-fold); in contrast, their apparent affinities for the peptide were much lower (up to 100-fold) than for the intact GAP-43 polypeptide. Furthermore, phosphorylation of the GAP-43 oligopeptide by PKC beta 1 was more sensitive to a catalytic-site inhibitor than was phosphorylation of intact GAP-43. These results suggest that there are multiple sites of interaction between GAP-43 and PKC.
