P38-MK2 regulate RNA metabolism after UV light-induced DNA damage

ABSTRACT: Ultraviolet (UV) light induces the formation of bulky UV photoproducts in the genome that interfere with DNA replication and transcription. It is well-established how human cells repair UV light-induced DNA lesions, however the signaling pathways and mechanisms that regulate transcription after exposure to UV light are poorly understood. Here, we provide a systematic view on dynamic protein phosphorylation patterns induced by UV light and uncover the dependencies of phosphorylation events on canonical DNA damage kinases and the p38 MAP kinase pathway. Notably, we demonstrate that p38 and its downstream effector kinase MK2 are responsible for one quarter of protein phosphorylation induced by UV light. We identify RNA binding proteins as primary targets and 14-3-3 family proteins as direct readers of UV light-induced, p38-MK2-dependent phosphorylation. Importantly, we demonstrate that UV light triggers rapid and dynamic phosphorylation of the negative elongation factor (NELF) complex subunit NELFE on serine 115 that mediates its binding to 14-3-3. NELFE interaction with 14-3-3 stabilizes NELFE and RNA pol II interaction on the chromatin and inhibits transcriptional elongation, thereby promoting cell survival after UV light.

Project description:Background: Differentiated hepatocytes are long-lived and normally do not undergo cell division, however they have the unique capacity to autonomously decide their replication fate after liver injury. In this context, the key players of liver regeneration immediately after injury have not been adequately studied. Using an in vitro liver culture system, we show that after liver injury, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK), mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) and extracellular-signal regulated kinase (Erk)1/2 were activated within 15 min and continued to be phosphorylated for more than 2 h. Both p38MAPK and Erk1/2 were activated at the edge of the cut as well as on the liver surface where the mesothelial cell sheet expresses several cytokines. Notably, in human liver Erk1/2 was also activated under the mesothelial cell sheet shortly after liver resections. Furthermore, in in vitro liver slice culture immediate early genes (IEGs) were upregulated within 1-2 h and the S phase marker proliferation-cell-nuclear-antigen (PCNA) appeared 24 h after injury. Although Erk1/2 was activated after injury, in MK2 depleted liver a set of IEGs, such as Dusp1, Cox2, or c-Myc and proliferation marker gene Ki67 were not induced. In addition, in immortalized hepatocyte cells, THLE-2, the same subset of genes was upregulated upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but not in the presence of MK2 inhibitor. The protein level of tristetraprolin (TTP), a substrate for MK2 that plays a role in mRNA degradation, was increased in the presence of MK2 inhibitor. In this context, the depletion of TTP gene rescued Dusp1, Cox2, or c-Myc upregulation in the presence of MK2 inhibitor. These data imply that MK2 pathway is positively involved in Erk1/2 induced IEG response after liver injury. These data also suggest that in vitro liver culture may be a useful tool for measuring the proliferation potential of hepatocytes in individual liver.
