Abstract Mitogen-activated protein kinases play an integral role in several cellular processes. To regulate mitogen-activated protein kinases, cells express members of a counteracting group of proteins called phosphatases. In this study, we have identified a specific role that one member of this family of phosphatases, dual-specific phosphatase-5 (Dusp-5) plays in vascular development in vivo. We have determined that dusp-5 is expressed in angioblasts and in established vasculature and that it counteracts the function of a serine threonine kinase, Snrk-1, which also plays a functional role in angioblast development. Together, Dusp-5 and Snrk-1 control angioblast populations in the lateral plate mesoderm with Dusp-5 functioning downstream of Snrk-1. Importantly, mutations in dusp-5 and snrk-1 have been identified in affected tissues of patients with vascular anomalies, implicating the Snrk-1–Dusp-5 signaling pathway in human disease.

SummaryIn a previous report we have presented evidence that thrombin interacts with αvβ3 integrin in endothelial cells at the molecular and cellular level. This interaction was shown to be of functional significance in vitro and in vivo and contributed to activation of angiogenesis by thrombin. In the present study, we have used a synthetic thrombin peptide, TP508, which represents residues 183 to 200 of human thrombin. This peptide lacks the catalytic site of thrombin but contains the thrombin RGD sequence. Immobilized (surface-coated) TP508 peptide, like thrombin, supported αvβ3 integrin-dependent endothelial cell attachment and haptotactic migration. These effects were specific (a scrambled TP508 peptide was without effect), and dosedependent. The RGD sequence was essential since a modified TP508 peptide, which contained RAD sequence instead of RGD, was inactive. Immobilized TP508 peptide stimulated phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and focal adhesion kinase, the signal transduction pathways characteristic for integrin activation. On the other hand, TP508 peptide, when in solution, did not mimic other thrombin-promoted angiogenic effects, such as that of activation gelatinase A, upregulation of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor mRNA or prostacyclin PGI2 release in endothelial cells. On the contrary, soluble TP508 acted as an antagonist for the aforementioned effects of thrombin. TP508 peptide inhibited these thrombin-induced effects through a RGD and α. vβ3-related mechanism. The antagonism with thrombin or thrombin receptor activating peptide was specific and involved at least in part mitogen-activated protein kinases activation. These results point to the importance of RGD sequence of thrombin in mediating effects on endothelial cells and angiogenesis.

AbstractThe amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing continuously in the industrial era, posing a threat to the ecological balance on Earth. There are two ways to reduce elevated CO2 concentrations ([CO2]high): reducing human emissions or increasing their absorption by oceans and plants. However, in response to [CO2]high, plants diminish gas exchange and CO2 uptake by closing stomata. Surprisingly, we do not know how plants sense CO2 in their environment, and the basic mechanisms of the plant response to [CO2]high are very poorly understood. Here, we show that mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are plant CO2 receptors. We demonstrate that MPK4, a prominent MAPK that is known to be involved in the stomatal response to [CO2]high1–3, is capable of binding CO2 and is directly activated by a very low increase in [CO2] in vivo and in vitro. Unlike MPK4 activation by infections4, stress and hormones within known MAPK signalling cascades, [CO2]high-induced MPK4 activation is independent of the upstream regulators MKK1 and MKK2. Moreover, once activated, MPK4 is prone to inactivation by bicarbonate. The identification of stress-responsive MPK4 as a CO2 receptor sheds new light on the integration of various environmental signals in guard cells, setting up MPK4 as the main hub regulating CO2 availability for photosynthesis. This result could help to find new ways to increase CO2 uptake by plants.
