ABSTRACTCell polarity is essential for various asymmetric cellular events, and the partitioning defective (PAR) protein PAR3 (encoded by PARD3 in mammals) plays a unique role as a cellular landmark to establish polarity. In epithelial cells, PAR3 localizes at the subapical border, such as the tight junction in vertebrates, and functions as an apical determinant. Although we know a great deal about the regulators of PAR3 localization, how PAR3 is concentrated and localized to a specific membrane domain remains an important question to be clarified. In this study, we demonstrate that ASPP2 (also known as TP53BP2), which controls PAR3 localization, links PAR3 and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). The ASPP2–PP1 complex dephosphorylates a novel phosphorylation site, Ser852, of PAR3. Furthermore, Ser852- or Ser889-unphosphorylatable PAR3 mutants form protein clusters, and ectopically localize to the lateral membrane. Concomitance of clustering and ectopic localization suggests that PAR3 localization is a consequence of local clustering. We also demonstrate that unphosphorylatable forms of PAR3 exhibited a low molecular turnover and failed to coordinate rapid reconstruction of the tight junction, supporting that both the phosphorylated and dephosphorylated states are essential for the functional integrity of PAR3.

AbstractCell polarity is essential for various asymmetric cellular events, where the partitioning defective (PAR) protein, PAR3, plays a unique role as a cellular landmark to establish polarity. In epithelial cells, PAR3 localizes at the subapical border such as the tight junction in vertebrates and functions as an apical determinant. Although there is much information about the regulators of PAR3 localization, the mechanism involved in PAR3 concentration and localization to the specific membrane domain remains an important question to be clarified. In this study, we demonstrate that ASPP2, a stimulator of PAR3 localization, can link PAR3 and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). The ASPP2–PP1 complex dephosphorylates a novel phosphorylation site, Ser852, of PAR3. Furthermore, Ser852- or Ser889-unphosphorylatable PAR3 mutants form protein clusters and ectopically localize to the lateral membrane. Concomitance of clustering and ectopic localization suggests that PAR3 localization is a consequence of local clustering. We also demonstrate that unphosphorylatable forms of PAR3 are static in molecular turnover and fail to coordinate rapid reconstruction of the tight junction, supporting that both phosphorylated and dephosphorylated states are essential for the functional integrity of PAR3.Summary statementWe show that phosphorylation and dephosphorylation regulate clustering of PAR-3, a cell polarity-regulating factor, and how the clustering regulation affects localization of PAR-3 and cell-cell junction formation.

BackgroundA number of cAMP-elevating hormones stimulate phosphorylation (and hence activity) of the NaCl cotransporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Evidence suggests that protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and other protein phosphatases modulate NCC phosphorylation, but little is known about PP1’s role and the mechanism regulating its function in the DCT.MethodsWe used ex vivo mouse kidney preparations to test whether a DCT-enriched inhibitor of PP1, protein phosphatase 1 inhibitor–1 (I1), mediates cAMP’s effects on NCC, and conducted yeast two-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation experiments in NCC-expressing MDCK cells to explore protein interactions.ResultsTreating isolated DCTs with forskolin and IBMX increased NCC phosphorylation via a protein kinase A (PKA)–dependent pathway. Ex vivo incubation of mouse kidney slices with isoproterenol, norepinephrine, and parathyroid hormone similarly increased NCC phosphorylation. The cAMP-induced stimulation of NCC phosphorylation strongly correlated with the phosphorylation of I1 at its PKA consensus phosphorylation site (a threonine residue in position 35). We also found an interaction between NCC and the I1-target PP1. Moreover, PP1 dephosphorylated NCC in vitro, and the PP1 inhibitor calyculin A increased NCC phosphorylation. Studies in kidney slices and isolated perfused kidneys of control and I1-KO mice demonstrated that I1 participates in the cAMP-induced stimulation of NCC.ConclusionsOur data suggest a complete signal transduction pathway by which cAMP increases NCC phosphorylation via a PKA-dependent phosphorylation of I1 and subsequent inhibition of PP1. This pathway might be relevant for the physiologic regulation of renal sodium handling by cAMP-elevating hormones, and may contribute to salt-sensitive hypertension in patients with endocrine disorders or sympathetic hyperactivity.

We have examined the nature of signal transduction involving reversible protein phosphorylation in marine Prorocentrale species. Of particular interest is the marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima in which the tumour promoter okadaic acid is produced and may interfere with signal transduction. We have identified cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity in P. lima, P. micans, and P. minimum. The P. lima enzyme was characterized biochemically and appears to consist of two different isoforms in the R2C2 configuration. Whole cell extracts of P. micans and P. minimum treated with the specific PKA inhibitor peptide PKI (5–24) or cAMP demonstrated altered intensities of phosphopeptide 32P labeling, most likely involving regulation of a protein phosphatase via PKA activity. A primary candidate for PKA regulation is protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1), which in P. lima possesses a classical PKA consensus phosphorylation site. We demonstrate that a peptide fragment of PP-1 from P. lima corresponding to this PKA phosphorylation site can be effectively phosphorylated by PKA and dephosphorylated by calcineurin. We speculate that PP-1 activity among several lower eukaryotes may be mediated directly by reversible phosphorylation. Higher eukaryotes may have developed inhibitor proteins to provide more complex regulation of protein phosphatase activity.Key words: cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein phosphatase-1, dinoflagellates, Prorocentrum lima, okadaic acid.

Abstract Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) regulates several cellular events via interaction with multiple regulatory subunits. The human prostate proteome includes various PP1-interacting proteins; however, a very limited number of interactions is yet characterized and their role in prostate tumorigenesis remains poorly understood. Tctex1 domain-containing protein 4 (TCTEX1D4) was previously identified as a PP1-interacting protein, but its function, as well as the relevance of its interaction with PP1, are virtually unknown. In this study we addressed the role of the PP1/TCTEX1D4 complex in prostate tumorigenesis. We found distinct expression levels and subcellular distributions for TCTEX1D4 and PP1γ in human prostate epithelial normal-like and malignant cells. Moreover, we showed that TCTEX1D4 participates in the regulation of cell proliferation and modulation of microRNAs expression and that its interaction with PP1 controls its function. Taken together, our study provides first evidence for the involvement of the PP1/TCTEX1D4 complex in prostate tumorigenesis.

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is expressed in all eukaryotic cells and catalyzes a substantial fraction of phosphoserine/threonine dephosphorylation reactions. It forms stable complexes with PP1-interacting proteins (PIPs) that guide the phosphatase throughout its life cycle and control its fate and function. The diversity of PIPs is huge (≈200 in vertebrates), and most of them combine short linear motifs to form large and unique interaction interfaces with PP1. Many PIPs have separate domains for PP1 anchoring, PP1 regulation, substrate recruitment and subcellular targeting, which enable them to direct associated PP1 to a specific subset of substrates and mediate acute activity control. Hence, PP1 functions as the catalytic subunit of a large number of multimeric holoenzymes, each with its own subset of substrates and mechanism(s) of regulation.
