PP6 regulatory subunit R1 is bidentate anchor for targeting protein phosphatase-6 to DNA-dependent protein kinase.

ABSTRACT: DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) becomes activated in response to DNA double strand breaks, initiating repair by the non-homologous end joining pathway. DNA·PK complexes with the regulatory subunit SAPSR1 (R1) of protein phosphatase-6 (PP6). Knockdown of either R1 or PP6c prevents DNA-PK activation in response to ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage and radiosensitizes glioblastoma cells. Here, we demonstrate that R1 is necessary for and bridges the interaction between DNA-PK and PP6c. Using R1 deletion mutants, DNA-PK binding was mapped to two distinct regions of R1 spanning residues 1-326 and 522-700. Either region expressed alone was sufficient to bind DNA-PK, but only deletion of residues 1-326, not 522-700, eliminated interaction of R1 with DNA-PK. We assign 1-326 as the dominant domain and 522-700 as the supporting region. These results demonstrate that R1 acts as a bidentate anchor to DNA-PK and recruits PP6c. Targeting the dominant interface with small molecule or peptidomimetic inhibitors could specifically prevent activation of DNA-PK and thereby sensitize cells to ionizing radiation and other genotoxic agents.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Abnormal calcium (Ca2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) contributes to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Increased phosphorylation of 2 proteins essential for normal SR-Ca2+ cycling, the type-2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) and phospholamban (PLN), enhances the susceptibility to AF, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) limits steady-state phosphorylation of both RyR2 and PLN. Proteomic analysis uncovered a novel PP1-regulatory subunit (PPP1R3A [PP1 regulatory subunit type 3A]) in the RyR2 macromolecular channel complex that has been previously shown to mediate PP1 targeting to PLN. We tested the hypothesis that reduced PPP1R3A levels contribute to AF pathogenesis by reducing PP1 binding to both RyR2 and PLN. METHODS:Immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, and complexome profiling were performed from the atrial tissue of patients with AF and from cardiac lysates of wild-type and Pln-knockout mice. Ppp1r3a-knockout mice were generated by CRISPR-mediated deletion of exons 2 to 3. Ppp1r3a-knockout mice and wild-type littermates were subjected to in vivo programmed electrical stimulation to determine AF susceptibility. Isolated atrial cardiomyocytes were used for Stimulated Emission Depletion superresolution microscopy and confocal Ca2+ imaging. RESULTS:Proteomics identified the PP1-regulatory subunit PPP1R3A as a novel RyR2-binding partner, and coimmunoprecipitation confirmed PPP1R3A binding to RyR2 and PLN. Complexome profiling and Stimulated Emission Depletion imaging revealed that PLN is present in the PPP1R3A-RyR2 interaction, suggesting the existence of a previously unknown SR nanodomain composed of both RyR2 and PLN/sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase-2a macromolecular complexes. This novel RyR2/PLN/sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase-2a complex was also identified in human atria. Genetic ablation of Ppp1r3a in mice impaired binding of PP1 to both RyR2 and PLN. Reduced PP1 targeting was associated with increased phosphorylation of RyR2 and PLN, aberrant SR-Ca2+ release in atrial cardiomyocytes, and enhanced susceptibility to pacing-induced AF. Finally, PPP1R3A was progressively downregulated in the atria of patients with paroxysmal and persistent (chronic) AF. CONCLUSIONS:PPP1R3A is a novel PP1-regulatory subunit within the RyR2 channel complex. Reduced PPP1R3A levels impair PP1 targeting and increase phosphorylation of both RyR2 and PLN. PPP1R3A deficiency promotes abnormal SR-Ca2+ release and increases AF susceptibility in mice. Given that PPP1R3A is downregulated in patients with AF, this regulatory subunit may represent a new target for AF therapeutic strategies.
