Aurora B opposes PP1 function in mitosis through phosphorylation of the conserved RVxF binding motif in PP1 regulatory proteins

ABSTRACT: Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a highly conserved protein phosphatase that opposes the actions of a diverse set of Ser-Thr protein kinases by controlling the majority of serine-threonine (Ser-Thr) dephosphorylation reactions in eukaryotes. PP1 gains substrate specificity through binding to a large number (> 200) of regulatory proteins that control PP1 localization, activity, and interactions with substrates. PP1 recognizes the well-characterized RVxF binding motif that is present many of these regulatory proteins, thus generating a multitude of distinct PP1 holoenzymes. Here we show that a subset of the RVxF binding motifs, in which x is a phosphorylatable amino acid (RV[S/T]F), were phosphorylated specifically during mitosis and that this phosphorylation event abrogated the interaction of PP1 with the regulatory protein. We determined that this phosphorylation was primarily governed by the mitotic protein kinase Aurora B and that high phosphorylation site stoichiometry of these sites was crucial to maintain phosphorylation of PP1 substrates during mitosis. We generated an antibody that recognizes the phosphorylated form of the RV[S/T]F motif (RVp[S/T]F) and used it to identify known PP1 regulatory proteins (KNL1, CDCA2 and RIF1) as well as multiple proteins that could potentially act as PP1 binding partners (UBR5, ASPM, SEH1 and ELYS) governed by this mechanism. Taken together, the work presented here suggests a general regulatory mechanism by which the coordinated activities of Aurora B and PP1 may control mitotic progression.

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a highly conserved protein phosphatase that performs most of the serine- and threonine-dephosphorylation reactions in eukaryotes and opposes the actions of a diverse set of serine and threonine (Ser-Thr) protein kinases.

Project description:Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a Ser/Thr phosphatase that has been implicated in many key cellular functions including transcriptional regulation. Due to its involvement these many processes, it becomes difficult to directly link PP1 to transcriptional regulation on the chromatin level as no direct genomic binding sites have been identified. Previous work has failed to address this as the most common method used, namely chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), is an antibody-dependent technique and currently no ChIP-grade PP1 antibodies have been developed. Using DamID, an alternative to ChIP, we have identified PP1 isoform-specific binding sites on the promoter regions of genes. We also identified the binding sites of three main PP1 regulatory subunits (R-subunits) in order to identify potential PP1 holo-enzymes binding sites. Our study revealed the full extent of PP1 isoform specific binding an allowed us to investigate the dependency of the R-subunits on PP1 for chromatin targeting. This data establishes PP1 as a chromatin interactor and allow for the identification of direct effects PP1 can have on the regulation of the genes on whose promoter it is bound. HeLa stable cell lines were created using constructs derived from pIND-(V5)-EcoDam. These constructs express trace amounts of Dam or C-terminal fusions with PP1α, PP1β, PP1γ and three R-subunits, PNUTS, NIPP1 and RepoMan, both wildtype (WT) and their PP1-binding mutants (RATA). Two independent stable cell lines were set up for each of the constructs. DamID-DNA was labeled and hybridized to a GeneChip Human Promoter 1.0R Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The tiling array readouts were analyzed with the “model-based analysis of tiling arrays” (MAT) algorithm (version 1.0.0) against the hg19 reference genome. We normalized two biological replicates of each Dam-fusion over two Dam-only biological replicates. Each biological repeat consisted of 2 technical repeats pooled together prior to hybridization to the tiling array.

Project description:Different transcriptome, metabolome, and phosphoproteome studies have already indicated a regulatory role of Ser/Thr phosphorylation in the central metabolism of S. aureus. However, it remains still unknown how this exactly tunes its metabolism. For that reason, Extreme Pathway Analysis was used to understand metabolic flux regulation by Ser/Thr phosphorylation. YANAsquare software and YANAvergence routine were chosen to calculate pathway activities of WT, ΔpknB, Δstp, and double mutant S. aureus NewmanHG strains. Gene expression data of S. aureus NewmanHG were collected taking the wild type and mutations of kinase (pknB), phosphatase (stp) or both (pknB/stp) phenotypes. The resulting flux changes were modelled with YANAvergence taking the different gene expression data and an established genome scale model of S. aureus metabolic modes as basis. The fluxes of the different strains were next calculated, taking the gene expression data into account. A concerted metabolic change of fluxes was observed. In particular the pathways for peptidoglycan, nucleotide, and aromatic amino acid synthesis as well as catabolism involving aspartate transaminase (GOT) changed significantly compared to the wild type. Single mutations of pknB and stp were compared to illustrate their different contribution to the phenotype, e.g. pyrimidine synthesis is dramatically impaired by pknB deletion but much less by loss of stp. In the double knock out strain, there is higher activity of peptidoglycan, purine, and aromatic amino acids synthesis from glucose, but lower activity of pyrimidine synthesis from glucose compared to WT. The results suggest a probable regulatory role of Ser/Thr phosphorylation in amino acid catabolism and the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis switch to provide the cell with sufficient cell wall components, nucleotides, and aromatic amino acids. Yvck is suggested to serve as regulatory protein linking Ser/Thr phosphorylation to the previous results of S. aureus metabolism. Moreover, Yvck seems in particular to be involved in the switch between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. However, further studies based on experimental approaches are needed to demonstrate that Ser/Thr phosphorylation and Yvck are necessary for a correct cell growth under gluconeogenic conditions. The metabolic model allows not only a comprehensive representation of these changes for all involved pathways in the four strains, it further points out the function of the previously unannotated ycvk operon.. The relevance of these specific metabolic pathway adaptations regarding the pathogenicity of S.aureus and their contributions to the infection process will be analyzed and discussed.
