Caveolae are small plasma membrane invaginations that have been implicated in cell signaling, and caveolin is a principal structural component of the caveolar membrane. Previously we have demonstrated that protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) directly interacts with phospholipase D1 (PLD1), activating the enzymatic activity of PLD1 in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) [Lee, T. G., et al. (1997) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1347, 199-204]. In this study, using a detergent-free procedure for the purification of a caveolin-enriched membrane fraction (CEM) and immunoblot analysis, we show that PLD1 is enriched in the CEMs of 3Y1 rat fibroblasts. Purified PLD1 directly bound to a glutathione S-transferase-caveolin-1 fusion protein in in vitro binding assays. The association of PLD1 with caveolin-1 could be completely eliminated by preincubation of PLD1 with an oligopeptide corresponding to the scaffolding domain (amino acids 82-101) of caveolin-1, indicating that caveolin-1 interacts with PLD1 through the scaffolding domain. The peptide also inhibited PKCalpha-stimulated PLD1 activity and the interaction between PLD1 and PKCalpha with an IC50 of 0.5 microM. PMA elicits translocation of PKCalpha to the CEMs, inducing PLD activation through the interaction of PKCalpha with PLD1 in the CEMs. Caveolin-1 also coimmunoprecipitated with PLD1 in the absence of PMA, and the amounts of coimmunoprecipitated caveolin-1 decreased in response to treatment with PMA. Taken together, our results suggest a new mechanism for the regulation of the PKCalpha-dependent PLD activity through the molecular interaction between PLD1, PKCalpha, and caveolin-1 in caveolae.

Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins play a crucial role as signaling molecules in insulin action. Serine phosphorylation of IRS proteins has been hypothesized as a cause of attenuating insulin signaling. The current study investigated serine kinase activity toward IRS-1 in several models of insulin resistance. An in vitro kinase assay was developed that used partially purified cell lysates as a kinase and glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins that contained various of IRS-1 fragments as substrates. Elevated serine kinase activity was detected in Chinese hamster ovary/insulin receptor (IR)/IRS-1 cells and 3T3-L1 adipocytes chronically treated with insulin, and in liver and muscle of obese JCR:LA-cp rats. It phosphorylated the 526-859 amino acid region of IRS-1, whereas phosphorylation of the 2-516 and 900-1235 amino acid regions was not altered. Phosphopeptide mapping of the 526-859 region of IRS-1 showed three major phosphopeptides (P1, P2, and P3) with different patterns of phosphorylation depending on the source of serine kinase activity. P1 and P2 were strongly phosphorylated when the kinase activity was prepared from insulin-resistant Chinese hamster ovary/IR/IRS-1 cells, weakly phosphorylated by the kinase activity from insulin-resistant 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and barely phosphorylated when the extract was derived from insulin-resistant liver. In contrast, P3 was phosphorylated by the serine kinase activity prepared from all insulin-resistant cells and tissues of animals. P1 and P2 phosphorylation can be explained by mitogen-activated protein kinase activity based on the phosphopeptide map generated by recombinant ERK2. In contrast, mitogen-activated protein kinase failed to phosphorylate the P3 peptide, suggesting that another serine kinase regulates this modification of IRS-1 in insulin-resistant state.

The cloned epithelial cell-specific Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) isoform NHE2 is stimulated by fibroblast growth factor (FGF), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), okadaic acid (OA), and fetal bovine serum (FBS) through a change in maximal velocity of the transporter. In the present study, we used COOH-terminal truncation mutants to delineate specific domains in the COOH terminus of NHE2 that are responsible for growth factor and/or protein kinase regulation. Five truncation mutants (designated by the amino acid number at the truncation site) were stably expressed in NHE-deficient PS120 fibroblasts. The effects of PMA, FGF, OA, FBS, and W-13 [a Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) inhibitor] were studied. Truncation mutant E2/660, but not E2/573, was stimulated by PMA. OA stimulated E2/573 but not E2/540. FGF stimulated E2/540 but not E2/499. The most truncated mutant, E2/499, was stimulated by FBS. W-13 stimulated the basal activity of the wild-type NHE2. However, W-13 had no effect on E2/755. By monitoring the emission spectra of dansylated CaM fluorescence, we showed that dansylated CaM bound directly to a purified fusion protein of glutathione S-transferase and the last 87 amino acids of NHE2 in a Ca2+-dependent manner, with a stoichiometry of 1:1 and a dissociation constant of 300 nM. Our results showed that the COOH terminus of NHE2 is organized into separate stimulatory and inhibitory growth factor/protein kinase regulatory subdomains. This organization of growth factor/protein kinase regulatory subdomains is very similar to that of NHE3, suggesting that the tertiary structures of the putative COOH termini of NHE2 and NHE3 are very similar despite the minimal amino acid identity in this part of the two proteins.

Mutation of the PRL1 gene, encoding a regulatory WD protein, results in glucose hypersensitivity and derepression of glucose-regulated genes in Arabidopsis. The yeast SNF1 protein kinase, a key regulator of glucose signaling, and Arabidopsis SNF1 homologs AKIN10 and AKIN11, which can complement the Deltasnf1 mutation, were found to interact with an N-terminal domain of the PRL1 protein in the two-hybrid system and in vitro. AKIN10 and AKIN11 suppress the yeast Deltasnf4 mutation and interact with the SNF4p-activating subunit of SNF1. PRL1 and SNF4 bind independently to adjacent C-terminal domains of AKIN10 and AKIN11, and these protein interactions are negatively regulated by glucose in yeast. AKIN10 and AKIN11, purified in fusion with glutathione S-transferase, undergo autophosphorylation and phosphorylate a peptide of sucrose phosphate synthase in vitro. The sucrose phosphate synthase-peptide kinase activity of AKIN complexes detected by immunoprecipitation is stimulated by sucrose in light-grown Arabidopsis plants. In comparison with wild type, the activation level of AKIN immunocomplexes is higher in the prl1 mutant, suggesting that PRL1 is a negative regulator of Arabidopsis SNF1 homologs. This conclusion is supported by the observation that PRL1 is an inhibitor of AKIN10 and AKIN11 in vitro.

Mammalian Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaM-KK) has been identified and cloned as an activator for two kinases, CaM kinase I (CaM-KI) and CaM kinase IV (CaM-KIV), and a recent report (Yano, S., Tokumitsu, H., and Soderling, T. R. (1998) Nature 396, 584-587) demonstrates that CaM-KK can also activate and phosphorylate protein kinase B (PKB). In this study, we identify a CaM-KK from Caenorhabditis elegans, and comparison of its sequence with the mammalian CaM-KK alpha and beta shows a unique Arg-Pro (RP)-rich insert in their catalytic domains relative to other protein kinases. Deletion of the RP-domain resulted in complete loss of CaM-KIV activation activity and physical interaction of CaM-KK with glutathione S-transferase-CaM-KIV (T196A). However, CaM-KK autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide substrate were normal in the RP-domain mutant. Site-directed mutagenesis of three conserved Arg in the RP- domain of CaM-KK confirmed that these positive charges are important for CaM-KIV activation. The RP- domain deletion mutant also failed to fully activate and phosphorylate CaM-KI, but this mutant was indistinguishable from wild-type CaM-KK for the phosphorylation and activation of PKB. These results indicate that the RP-domain in CaM-KK is critical for recognition of downstream CaM-kinases but not for its catalytic activity (i.e. autophosphorylation) and PKB activation.

By interaction cloning (yeast two-hybrid system) using the catalytic domain of protein kinase Czeta (PKCzeta) as bait, we cloned a human full-length cDNA with 62% nucleotide homology to the A6 protein recently cloned and characterized by Beeler et al. [Beeler, J.F., LaRochelle, W.J., Chedid, M., Tronick, S.R. & Aaronson, S. A. (1994) Mol. Cell. Biol. 14, 982-988]. The deduced amino acid sequence (349 amino acids) of the A6-related protein (A6rp) contained potential actin-binding sites and ATP-binding sites. We also cloned the murine homolog of A6rp. Human A6rp was expressed in an in-vitro transcriptional/translational system with an apparent molecular mass of 40 kDa and as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein in bacteria. A polyclonal anti-(A6rp) was raised in rabbits and used for the identification of A6rp by immunoblotting. A6rp was found to be expressed at the mRNA and the protein levels in all cells and tissues investigated. GST-A6rp was phosphorylated by PKCzeta but not significantly by other PKC isoenzymes. Moreover, it was phosphorylated by casein kinase 2 and most effectively by the tyrosine kinase Src. In contrast to GST-A6rp, GST-A6 was also phosphorylated by PKC isoforms other than PKCzeta and strongly by CK2, but just weakly by Src. In contrast to the results of Beeler et al. on beta-galactosidase-A6, we were unable to demonstrate autokinase activity or tyrosine phosphorylation of either GST-A6 or GST-A6rp. In accordance with the potential ATP-binding sites, both proteins were able to bind ATP.

ERK1 and ERK2 associate with the tyrosine phosphatase PTP-SL through a kinase interaction motif (KIM) located in the juxtamembrane region of PTP-SL. A glutathione S-transferase (GST)-PTP-SL fusion protein containing the KIM associated with ERK1 and ERK2 as well as with p38/HOG, but not with the related JNK1 kinase or with protein kinase A or C. Accordingly, ERK2 showed in vitro substrate specificity to phosphorylate GST-PTP-SL in comparison with GST-c-Jun. Furthermore, tyrosine dephosphorylation of ERK2 by the PTP-SLDeltaKIM mutant was impaired. The in vitro association of ERK1/2 with GST-PTP-SL was highly stable; however, low concentrations of nucleotides partially dissociated the ERK1/2.PTP-SL complex. Partial deletions of the KIM abrogated the association of PTP-SL with ERK1/2, indicating that KIM integrity is required for interaction. Amino acid substitution analysis revealed that Arg and Leu residues within the KIM are essential for the interaction and suggested a regulatory role for Ser(231). Finally, coexpression of PTP-SL and ERK2 in COS-7 cells resulted in the retention of ERK2 in the cytoplasm in a KIM-dependent manner. Our results demonstrate that the noncatalytic region of PTP-SL associates with mitogen-activated protein kinases with high affinity and specificity, providing a mechanism for substrate specificity, and suggest a role for PTP-SL in the regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase translocation to the nucleus upon activation.

The common beta chain (beta(c)) of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and IL-5 receptors is the major signaling subunit of these receptors coupling ligand binding to multiple biological activities. It is thought that these multiple functions arise as a consequence of the recruitment of specific signaling molecules to tyrosine-phosphorylated residues in the cytoplasmic domain of beta(c). However, the contribution of serine phosphorylation in beta(c) to the recruitment of signaling molecules is not known. We show here the identification of a phosphoserine motif in the cytoplasmic domain of beta(c) that interacts with the adaptor protein 14-3-3zeta. Coimmunoprecipitation and pull-down experiments with a glutathione S-transferase (GST):14-3-3zeta fusion protein showed that 14-3-3 directly associates with beta(c) but not the GM-CSF receptor alpha chain. C-terminal truncation mutants of beta(c) further showed that a region between amino acids 544 and 626 in beta(c) was required for its association with 14-3-3zeta. This region contains the sequence (582)HSRSLP(587), which closely resembles the RSXSXP (where S is phosphorylated) consensus 14-3-3 binding site identified in a number of signaling molecules, including Raf-1. Significantly, substitution of (582)HSRSLP(587) for EFAAAA completely abolished interaction of beta(c) with GST-14-3-3zeta. Furthermore, the interaction of beta(c) with GST-14-3-3 was greatly reduced in the presence of a peptide containing the 14-3-3 binding site, but only when (585)Ser was phosphorylated. Direct binding experiments showed that the peptide containing phosphorylated (585)Ser bound 14-3-3zeta with an affinity of 150 nmol/L. To study the regulation of (585)S phosphorylation in vivo, we raised antibodies that specifically recognized (585)Ser-phosphorylated beta(c). Using these antibodies, we showed that GM-CSF stimulation strongly upregulated (585)Ser phosphorylation in M1 myeloid leukemic cells. The proximity of the SHC-binding site ((577)Tyr) to the 14-3-3-binding site ((582)HSRSLP(587)) and their conservation between mouse, rat, and human beta(c) but not in other cytokine receptors suggest that they form a distinct motif that may subserve specialized functions associated with the GM-CSF, IL-3, and IL-5 receptors.

Neurabin I is a brain-specific actin-binding protein. Here we show that neurabin I binds protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and inhibits PP1 activity. Neurabin I interacted with PP1alpha in an overlay assay, in yeast two-hybrid interaction analysis, and in coprecipitation and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Neurabin I also copurified with both the alpha and gamma isoforms of PP1. A glutathione S-transferase (GST)-neurabin I fusion protein (residues 318-661) containing the putative PP1 binding domain (residues 456-460) inhibited PP1 activity (K(i) = 2.7 +/- 1.2 nM). This fusion protein was also rapidly phosphorylated in vitro by PKA (K(m) = 6 microM) to a stoichiomtry of 1 mol/mol. The phosphorylated residue was identified as serine 461 by HPLC-MS analysis of a tryptic digest. Phosphorylation of GST-neurabin I (residues 318-661) by PKA significantly reduced its binding to PP1 by overlay and by glutathione-Sepharose coprecipitation assays. A 35-fold decrease in inhibitory potency was also observed using a S461E mutant, which mimics phosphorylation of S461. These findings identify a signaling mechanism involving the regulation of PP1 activity and localization mediated by the cAMP pathway.

IkappaB kinases (IKK)-1 and -2 are related kinases that are induced by stimuli such as TNF or IL-1 to phosphorylate serines 32 and 36 of IkappaBalpha, the regulatory subunit of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. A procedure for an IKK protein kinase assay is described that uses an in vivo biotinylated IkappaB protein substrate, [gamma-(33)P]ATP, and capture onto a streptavidin membrane. Residues 1-54 of the IkappaBalpha substrate were expressed as a fusion with glutathione S-transferase (GST) and a short (22 amino acid) biotinylation sequence that allowed modification during bacterial expression. Using the streptavidin capture assay the phosphorylation activities of recombinant IKK-1 and -2 were characterized. The assay provided a convenient way to compare IKK protein and peptide substrate preferences; biotinylated GST-IkappaBalpha(1-54) was more readily phosphorylated by both IKK-1 and IKK-2 compared to biotinylated myelin basic protein or a 20-mer biotinylated peptide containing serines 32 and 36 of IkappaBalpha. IKK-1 had 83-fold less activity than IKK-2, and the IKK-1+2 complex had approximately 2-fold more activity than IKK-2. IKK-1+2 and IKK-2 had similar K(m) values for ATP and GST-biotin-IkappaB(1-54) and were similarly inhibited by staurosporine and two of its analogues K252a and K252b, suggesting that most of the IkappaBalpha kinase activity in the IKK-1+2 complex may be attributed to IKK-2. Several features of the assay including the broad linear binding range of the streptavidin membranes for the protein substrate GST-biotin-IkappaB(1-54) (1-4000 pmol of protein/cm(2)), the low background, and its capacity for both biotinylated peptides and proteins make it a useful tool for quantitating IKK activity. These factors and the ease of expressing in vivo biotinylated GST fusions will make this assay approach suitable for a wide variety of protein kinases.
