ABSTRACT The ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) belongs to the AGC family of Ser/Thr kinases and is known to be involved in the regulation of protein synthesis and the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. There are two forms of S6K, termed S6Kα and S6Kβ, which have cytoplasmic and nuclear splice variants. Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling has been recently proposed for S6Kα, based on the use of the nuclear export inhibitor, leptomycin B. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating subcellular localization of S6Ks in response to mitogenic stimuli remain to be elucidated. Here we present data on the in vitro and in vivo phosphorylation of S6Kβ, but not S6Kα, by protein kinase C (PKC). The site of phosphorylation was identified as S486, which is located within the C-terminal nuclear localization signal. Mutational analysis and the use of phosphospecific antibodies provided evidence that PKC-mediated phosphorylation at S486 does not affect S6K activity but eliminates the function of its nuclear localization signal and causes retention of an activated form of the kinase in the cytoplasm. Taken together, this study uncovers a novel mechanism for the regulation of nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of S6KβII by PKC-mediated phosphorylation.

Protein Kinase C Alpha

Protein kinase C does not have any known nuclear localization signal but, nevertheless, is redistributed from the cytoplasm to the nucleus upon various stimuli. In NIH 3T3 fibroblasts stimulation with phorbol ester leads to a translocation of protein kinase C alpha to the plasma membrane and into the cell nucleus. We compared the mechanism of protein kinase C alpha's transport into the nucleus with the transport mechanism of a protein with a classical nuclear localization signal at several steps. To this end, we co-microinjected fluorescently labeled bovine serum albumin to which a nuclear localization signal peptide was coupled, together with substances interfering with conventional nuclear protein import. Thereafter, the distribution of both the nuclear localization signal-bearing reporter protein and protein kinase C alpha was analyzed in the same cells. We can show that, in contrast to the nuclear localization signal-dependent transport, the phorbol ester-induced transport of protein kinase C alpha is not affected by microinjection of antibodies against the nuclear import factor p97/importin/karyopherin beta or microinjection of non-hydrolyzable GTP-analogs. This suggests that nuclear import of protein kinase C alpha is independent of p97/importin/karyopherin beta and independent of GTP. At the nuclear pore there are differences between the mechanisms too, since nuclear transport of protein kinase C alpha cannot be inhibited by wheat germ agglutinin or an antibody against nuclear pore complex proteins. Together these findings demonstrate that the nuclear import of protein kinase C alpha occurs by a mechanism distinct from the one used by classical nuclear localization signal-bearing proteins at several stages.

Transport of protein kinase C alpha into the nucleus requires intact cytoskeleton while the transport of a protein containing a canonical nuclear localization signal does not

Protein kinase C undergoes a redistribution from the cytosol into the nucleus upon various stimuli. Since protein kinase C does not contain any known nuclear localization signal, the exact pathway and mechanism of the translocation into the nucleus is not known. We used immunofluorescence microscopy to investigate the role of the cytoskeleton in this process, and to detect the subcellular distribution of protein kinase C alpha in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. In these cells protein kinase C alpha is translocated into the nucleus after stimulation with phorbol ester. We observed that cells treated with the cytoskeleton disrupting agents cytochalasin B or colchicine do not show the nuclear translocation of protein kinase C alpha after stimulation. In contrast, the nuclear accumulation of a nuclear localization signal containing reporter protein in an in vitro nuclear transport assay is not affected by these drugs. This observation has been confirmed for intact cells by microinjection experiments: cells which have been incubated with cytochalasin B or colchicine prior to microinjection of the reporter protein show the same accumulation in the nucleus as untreated cells. Our data show that intact cytoskeleton plays an important role in the translocation of protein kinase C alpha into the nucleus but not in the nuclear import of a karyophilic reporter protein.

Rice black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) was known to be transmitted by the small brown planthopper (SBPH) in a persistent, circulative and propagative manner in nature. Here, we show that RBSDV major outer capsid protein (also known as P10) suppresses the protein kinase C (PKC) activity of SBPH through interacting with the receptor for activated protein kinase C 1 (LsRACK1). The N terminal of P10 (amino acids (aa) 1–270) and C terminal of LsRACK1 (aa 268–315) were mapped as crucial for the interaction. Confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation showed that RBSDV P10 fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein formed vesicular structures associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes in Spodoptera frugiperda nine cells. Our results also indicated that RBSDV P10 retargeted the initial subcellular localization of LsRACK1 from cytoplasm and cell membrane to ER and affected the function of LsRACKs to activate PKC. Inhibition of RACK1 by double stranded RNA-induced gene silencing significantly promoted the replication of RBSDV in SBPH. In addition, the PKC pathway participates in the antivirus innate immune response of SBPH. This study highlights that RACK1 negatively regulates the accumulation of RBSDV in SBPH through activating the PKC signalling pathway, and RBSDV P10 changes the subcellular localization of LsRACK1 and affects its function to activate PKC.
