Protein kinase D (PKD) isoforms are protein kinase C (PKC) effectors in diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated signaling pathways. Key physiological processes are placed under DAG control by the distinctive substrate specificity and intracellular distribution of PKDs. Comprehension of the roles of PKDs in homeostasis and signal transduction requires further knowledge of regulatory interplay among PKD and PKC isoforms, analysis of PKC-independent PKD activation, and characterization of functions controlled by PKDs in vivo. Caenorhabditis elegans and mammals share conserved signaling mechanisms, molecules, and pathways Thus, characterization of the C. elegans PKDs could yield insights into regulation and functions that apply to all eukaryotic PKDs. C. elegans DKF-1 (D kinase family-1) contains tandem DAG binding (C1) modules, a PH (pleckstrin homology) domain, and a Ser/Thr protein kinase segment, which are homologous with domains in classical PKDs. DKF-1 and PKDs have similar substrate specificities. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) switches on DKF-1 catalytic activity in situ by promoting phosphorylation of a single amino acid Thr(588) in the activation loop. DKF-1 phosphorylation and activation are unaffected when PKC activity is eliminated by inhibitors. Both phosphorylation and kinase activity of DKF-1 are extinguished by substituting Ala for Thr(588) or Gln for Lys(455) ("kinase dead") or incubating with protein phosphatase 2C. Thus, DKF-1 is a PMA-activated, PKC-independent D kinase. In vivo, dkf-1 gene promoter activity is evident in neurons. Both dkf-1 gene disruption (null phenotype) and RNA interference-mediated depletion of DKF-1 protein cause lower body paralysis. Targeted DKF-1 expression corrected this locomotory defect in dkf-1 null animals. Supraphysiological expression of DKF-1 limited C. elegans growth to approximately 60% of normal length. 相似文献

The serine/threonine protein kinase D (PKD) family comprises of three members, PKD1 (PKCmu), PKD2 and PKD3 (PKCnu). Like the related C-type protein kinases (PKCs), PKDs are activated by diacylglycerol (DAG). PKDs have been implicated in numerous intracellular signaling pathways including vesicular transport, cell proliferation, survival, migration and immune responses. While experimental data on this recently discovered kinase family are starting to accumulate family member specific information is still sparse and only small effort has been taken to functionally differentiate the three PKDs. To address this issue we followed the expression patterns of PKD1, 2 and 3 during the development of the mouse embryo. Using specific probe sets for RT-PCR and in situ hybridization, we demonstrate shared and differential expression domains for the three PKD family members in both neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. 相似文献

The members of the protein kinase D (PKD) family of serine/threonine kinases are major targets for tumor-promoting phorbol esters, G protein-coupled receptors, and activated protein kinase C isoforms (PKCs). The expanding list of cellular processes in which PKDs exert their function via phosphorylation of various substrates include proliferation, apoptosis, migration, angiogenesis, and vesicle trafficking. Therefore, identification of novel PKD substrates is necessary to understand the profound role of this kinase family in signal transduction. Here, we show that rhotekin, an effector of RhoA GTPase, is a novel substrate of PKD. We identified Ser-435 in rhotekin as the potential site targeted by PKD in vivo. Expression of a phosphomimetic S435E rhotekin mutant resulted in an increase of endogenous active RhoA GTPase levels. Phosphorylation of rhotekin by PKD2 modulates the anchoring of the RhoA in the plasma membrane. Consequently, the S435E rhotekin mutant displayed enhanced stress fiber formation when expressed in serum-starved fibroblasts. Our data thus identify a novel role of PKD as a regulator of RhoA activity and actin stress fiber formation through phosphorylation of rhotekin. 相似文献

We recently demonstrated that protein kinase D (PKD) exerts a protective function during oxidative stress-induced intestinal epithelial cell injury; however, the exact role of DAG kinase (DGK)ζ, an isoform expressed in intestine, during this process is unknown. We sought to determine the role of DGK during oxidative stress-induced intestinal cell injury and whether DGK acts as an upstream regulator of PKD. Inhibition of DGK with R59022 compound or DGKζ siRNA transfection decreased H2O2-induced RIE-1 cell apoptosis as measured by DNA fragmentation and increased PKD phosphorylation. Overexpression of kinase-dead DGKζ also significantly increased PKD phosphorylation. Additionally, endogenous nuclear DGKζ rapidly translocated to the cytoplasm following H2O2 treatment. Our findings demonstrate that DGK is involved in the regulation of oxidative stress-induced intestinal cell injury. PKD activation is induced by DGKζ, suggesting DGK is an upstream regulator of oxidative stress-induced activation of the PKD signaling pathway in intestinal epithelial cells. 相似文献

The protein kinase D (PKD) family consists of three serine/threonine protein kinases involved in the regulation of fundamental biological processes in response to their activation and intracellular redistribution. Although a substantial amount of information is available describing the mechanisms regulating the activation and intracellular distribution of the PKD isozymes during interphase, nothing is known of their activation status, localization and role during mitosis. The results presented in this study indicate that during mitosis, PKD3 and PKD are phosphorylated at Ser731 and Ser744 within their activation loop by a mechanism that requires protein kinase C. Mitosis-associated PKD3 Ser731 and PKD Ser744 phosphorylation is related to the catalytic activation of these kinases as evidenced by in vivo phosphorylation of histone deacetylase 5, a substrate of PKD and PKD3. Activation loop-phosphorylated PKD3 and PKD, as well as PKD2, associate with centrosomes, spindles and midbody suggesting that these activated kinases establish dynamic interactions with the mitotic apparatus. Thus, this study reveals a connection between the PKD isozymes and cell division, suggesting a novel role for this family of serine/threonine kinases. 相似文献

Proteomic analysis identified HSP27 phosphorylation as a major change in protein phosphorylation stimulated by Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC). VEGF-induced HSP27 phosphorylation at serines 15, 78 and 82, but whereas HSP27 phosphorylation induced by H2O2 and TNFalpha was completely blocked by the p38 kinase inhibitor, SB203580, VEGF-stimulated serine 82 phosphorylation was resistant to SB203580 and small interfering(si)RNA-mediated knockdown of p38 kinase and MAPKAPK2. The PKC inhibitor, GF109203X, partially reduced VEGF-induced HSP27 serine 82 phosphorylation, and SB203580 plus GF109203X abolished phosphorylation. VEGF activated Protein Kinase D (PKD) via PKC, and siRNAs targeted to PKD1 and PKD2 inhibited VEGF-induced HSP27 serine 82 phosphorylation. Furthermore recombinant PKD selectively phosphorylated HSP27 at serine 82 in vitro, and PKD2 activated by VEGF in HUVECs also phosphorylated HSP27 selectively at this site. Knockdown of HSP27 and PKDs markedly inhibited VEGF-induced HUVEC migration and tubulogenesis, whereas inhibition of the p38 kinase pathway using either SB203580 or siRNAs against p38alpha or MAPKAPK2, had no significant effect on the chemotactic response to VEGF. These findings identify a novel pathway for VEGF-induced HSP27 serine 82 phosphorylation via PKC-mediated PKD activation and direct phosphorylation of HSP27 by PKD, and show that PKDs and HSP27 play major roles in the angiogenic response to VEGF. 相似文献

Protein kinase D2 (PKD2), a member of the PKD family of serine/threonine kinases, is localized in various subcellular compartments including the nucleus where the kinase accumulates upon activation of G-protein-coupled receptors. We define three critical post-translational modifications required for nuclear accumulation of PKD2 in response to activation of the CCK2 receptor (CCK2R): phosphorylation at Ser706 and Ser710 within the activation loop by PKC eta leading to catalytic activity and phosphorylation at Ser244 within the zinc-finger domain, which is crucial for blocking nuclear export of active PKD2 by preventing its interaction with the Crm-1 export machinery. We identify CK1delta and epsilon as upstream activated kinases by CCK2R that phosphorylate PKD2 at Ser244. Moreover, nuclear accumulation of active PKD2 is a prerequisite for efficient phosphorylation of its nuclear substrate, HDAC7. Only nuclear, active PKD2 mediates CCK2R-induced HDAC7 phosphorylation and Nur77 expression. Thus, we define a novel, compartment-specific signal transduction pathway downstream of CCK2R that phosphorylates PKD2 at three specific sites, results in nuclear accumulation of the active kinase and culminates in efficient phosphorylation of nuclear PKD2 substrates in human gastric cancer cells. 相似文献

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy-sensing enzyme whose activity is inhibited in settings of insulin resistance. Exposure to a high glucose concentration has recently been shown to increase phosphorylation of AMPK at Ser485/491 of its α1/α2 subunit; however, the mechanism by which it does so is not known. Diacylglycerol (DAG), which is also increased in muscle exposed to high glucose, activates a number of signaling molecules including protein kinase (PK)C and PKD1. We sought to determine whether PKC or PKD1 is involved in inhibition of AMPK by causing Ser485/491 phosphorylation in skeletal muscle cells. C2C12 myotubes were treated with the PKC/D1 activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which acts as a DAG mimetic. This caused dose- and time-dependent increases in AMPK Ser485/491 phosphorylation, which was associated with a ∼60% decrease in AMPKα2 activity. Expression of a phosphodefective AMPKα2 mutant (S491A) prevented the PMA-induced reduction in AMPK activity. Serine phosphorylation and inhibition of AMPK activity were partially prevented by the broad PKC inhibitor Gö6983 and fully prevented by the specific PKD1 inhibitor CRT0066101. Genetic knockdown of PKD1 also prevented Ser485/491 phosphorylation of AMPK. Inhibition of previously identified kinases that phosphorylate AMPK at this site (Akt, S6K, and ERK) did not prevent these events. PMA treatment also caused impairments in insulin-signaling through Akt, which were prevented by PKD1 inhibition. Finally, recombinant PKD1 phosphorylated AMPKα2 at Ser491 in cell-free conditions. These results identify PKD1 as a novel upstream kinase of AMPKα2 Ser491 that plays a negative role in insulin signaling in muscle cells. 相似文献

The requirement of DAG (diacylglycerol) to recruit PKD (protein kinase D) to the TGN (trans-Golgi network) for the targeting of transport carriers to the cell surface, has led us to a search for new components involved in this regulatory pathway. Previous findings reveal that the heterotrimeric Gbetagamma (GTP-binding protein betagamma subunits) act as PKD activators, leading to fission of transport vesicles at the TGN. We have recently shown that PKCeta (protein kinase Ceta) functions as an intermediate member in the vesicle generating pathway. DAG is capable of activating this kinase at the TGN, and at the same time is able to recruit PKD to this organelle in order to interact with PKCeta, allowing phosphorylation of PKD's activation loop. The most qualified candidates for the production of DAG at the TGN are PI-PLCs (phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipases C), since some members of this family can be directly activated by Gbetagamma, utilizing PtdIns(4,5)P2 as a substrate, to produce the second messengers DAG and InsP3. In the present study we show that betagamma-dependent Golgi fragmentation, PKD1 activation and TGN to plasma membrane transport were affected by a specific PI-PLC inhibitor, U73122 [1-(6-{[17-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino}hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione]. In addition, a recently described PI-PLC activator, m-3M3FBS [2,4,6-trimethyl-N-(m-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)benzenesulfonamide], induced vesiculation of the Golgi apparatus as well as PKD1 phosphorylation at its activation loop. Finally, using siRNA (small interfering RNA) to block several PI-PLCs, we were able to identify PLCbeta3 as the sole member of this family involved in the regulation of the formation of transport carriers at the TGN. In conclusion, we demonstrate that fission of transport carriers at the TGN is dependent on PI-PLCs, specifically PLCbeta3, which is necessary to activate PKCeta and PKD in that Golgi compartment, via DAG production. 相似文献

Protein kinase D isoenzymes (PKDs, Prkds) are serine threonine kinases that belong to the CAMK superfamily. PKD1 is expressed in endothelial cells and is a major mediator of biological responses downstream of the VEGFRs that are relevant for angiogenesis such as endothelial cell migration, proliferation and tubulogenesis in vitro. PKDs also play a critical role in tumor development and progression, including tumor angiogenesis. However, given the plethora of signaling modules that drive angiogenesis, the precise role of PKD1 in both physiological and tumor angiogenesis in vivo has not been worked out so far. This study aimed at dissecting the contribution of PKD1 to physiological blood vessel formation, PKD1 was found to be widely expressed during zebrafish development. As far as physiological angiogenesis was concerned, morpholino-based silencing of PKD1 expression moderately reduced the formation of the intersomitic vessels and the dorsal longitudinal anastomotic vessel in tg(fli1:EGFP) zebrafish. In addition, silencing of PKD1 resulted in reduced formation of the parachordal lymphangioblasts that serves as a precursor for the developing thoracic duct. Interestingly, tumor angiogenesis was completely abolished in PKD1 morphants using the zebrafish/tumor xenograft angiogenesis assay. Our data in zebrafish demonstrate that PKD1 contributes to the regulation of physiological angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during zebrafish development and is essential for tumor angiogenesis. 相似文献

The protein kinase D (PKD) family comprises multifunctional serine/threonine-specific protein kinases with three mammalian isoforms: PKD1, PKD2 and PKD3. A prominent PKD function is the regulation of basolateral-targeted transport carrier fission from the trans -Golgi network (TGN). To visualize site-specific PKD activation at this organelle, we designed a molecular reporter consisting of a PKD-specific substrate sequence fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), specifically targeted to the TGN via the p230 GRIP domain. Quantitative analyses using a phosphospecific antibody and ratiometric fluorescence imaging revealed that Golgi-specific phosphorylation of the reporter was strictly dependent on stimulation of endogenous PKD or transient expression of active PKD constructs. Conversely, PKD-specific pharmacological inhibitors and siRNA-mediated PKD knockdown suppressed reporter phosphorylation. Using this reporter we investigated a potential role for PKD in the regulation of Golgi complex morphology. Interestingly, nocodazole-induced Golgi complex break-up and dispersal was associated with local PKD activation as measured by reporter phosphorylation and this was efficiently blocked by expression of a dominant-negative PKD mutant or PKD depletion. Our data thus identify a novel link between PKD activity and the microtubule cytoskeleton, whereby Golgi complex integrity is regulated. 相似文献

PKD is a family of three serine/threonine kinases (PKD-1, -2, and -3) involved in the regulation of diverse biological processes including proliferation, migration, secretion, and cell survival. We have previously shown that despite expression of all three isoforms in mouse epidermis, PKD1 plays a unique and critical role in wound healing, phorbol ester-induced hyperplasia, and tumor development. In translating our findings to the human, we discovered that PKD1 is not expressed in human keratinocytes (KCs) and there is a divergence in the expression and function of other PKD isoforms. Contrary to mouse KCs, treatment of cultured human KCs with pharmacological inhibitors of PKDs resulted in growth arrest. We found that PKD2 and PKD3 are expressed differentially in proliferating and differentiating human KCs, with the former uniformly present in both compartments whereas the latter is predominantly expressed in the proliferating compartment. Knockdown of individual PKD isoforms in human KCs revealed contrasting growth regulatory roles for PKD2 and PKD3. Loss of PKD2 enhanced KC proliferative potential while loss of PKD3 resulted in a progressive proliferation defect, loss of clonogenicity and diminished tissue regenerative ability. This proliferation defect was correlated with up-regulation of CDK4/6 inhibitor p15INK4B and induction of a p53-independent G1 cell cycle arrest. Simultaneous silencing of PKD isoforms resulted in a more pronounced proliferation defect consistent with a predominant role for PKD3 in proliferating KCs. These data underline the importance and complexity of PKD signaling in human epidermis and suggest a central role for PKD3 signaling in maintaining human epidermal homeostasis. 相似文献

Protein kinase D1 (PKD1) plays a vital role in signal transduction, cell proliferation, membrane trafficking, and cancer; however, the majority of the studies up to date had centered primarily on PKD1 functions in interphase, very little is known about its role during cell division. We previously demonstrated that during mitosis PKD1 is activated and associated with centrosomes, spindles, and midbodies. However, these observations did not address whether PKD1 was associated with mitosis regulation. Accordingly, we used rapidly acting PKD-specific inhibitors to examine the contribution of PKD1 the sequence of events in mitosis. We found that although PKD1 overexpression did not affect mitosis progression, suppression of its catalytic activity by two structurally unrelated inhibitors (kb NB 142-70 and CRT 0066101) induced a significant delay in metaphase to anaphase transition time. PKD1 inhibition during mitosis also produced the appearance of abnormal spindles, defects in chromosome alignment, and segregation as well as apoptosis. Thus, these observations indicate that PKD1 activity is associated with mitosis regulation. 相似文献

C1 domains, cysteine-rich modules originally identified in protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes, are present in multiple signaling families, including PKDs, chimaerins, RasGRPs, diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) and others. Typical C1 domains bind the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG) and DAG-mimetics such as phorbol esters, and are critical for governing association to membranes. On the contrary, atypical C1 domains possess structural determinants that impede phorbol ester/DAG binding. C1 domains are generally expressed as twin modules (C1A and C1B) or single domains. Biochemical and cellular studies in PKC and PKD isozymes revealed that C1A and C1B domains are non-equivalent as lipid-binding motifs or translocation modules. It has been recently determined that individual C1 domains have unique patterns of ligand recognition, driven in some cases by subtle structural differences. Insights from recent 3-D studies on beta2-chimaerin and Munc13-1 revealed that their single C1 domains are sterically blocked by intramolecular interactions, suggesting that major conformational changes would be required for exposing the site of DAG interaction. Thus, it is clear that the protein context plays a major role in determining whether binding of DAG to the C1 domain would lead to enzyme activation or merely serves as an anchoring mechanism. 相似文献

The protein kinase D (PKD) family of serine/threonine kinases, which can be
activated by gastrointestinal hormones, consists of three distinct isoforms
that modulate a variety of cellular processes including intracellular protein
transport as well as constitutive and regulated secretion. Although
isoform-specific functions have been identified in a variety of cell lines,
the expression and function of PKD isoforms in normal, differentiated
secretory tissues is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that PKD isoforms are
differentially expressed in the exocrine and endocrine cells of the pancreas.
Specifically, PKD3 is the predominant isoform expressed in exocrine cells of
the mouse and human pancreas, whereas PKD1 and PKD2 are more abundantly
expressed in the pancreatic islets. Within isolated mouse pancreatic acinar
cells, PKD3 undergoes rapid membrane translocation, trans-activating
phosphorylation, and kinase activation after gastrointestinal hormone or
cholinergic stimulation. PKD phosphorylation in pancreatic acinar cells occurs
viaaCa2+-independent, diacylglycerol- and protein kinase
C-dependent mechanism. PKD phosphorylation can also be induced by physiologic
concentrations of secretagogues and by in vivo stimulation of the
pancreas. Furthermore, activation of PKD3 potentiates MEK/ERK/RSK (RSK,
ribosomal S6 kinase) signaling and significantly enhances
cholecystokinin-mediated pancreatic amylase secretion. These findings reveal a
novel distinction between the exocrine and endocrine cells of the pancreas and
further identify PKD3 as a signaling molecule that promotes hormone-stimulated
amylase secretion.Protein kinase D
(PKD),2 a
serine/threonine kinase family with a catalytic domain homologous to the
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase domain and two cysteine-rich
phorbol ester binding domains similar to those of protein kinase C (PKC), is a
physiologically important downstream mediator of diacylglycerol (DAG) signal
transduction (1,
2). The mammalian PKDs include
three members, PKD1, PKD2, and PKD3, which demonstrate different expression
patterns and functions depending on the cell type and external signal stimuli.
PKDs are ubiquitously expressed, but levels of individual isoforms vary with
developmental stage and cell type
(3). PKD proteins are reported
to localize in the cytosol, Golgi, nucleus, and vesicle structures
(4-9).
Activation of PKDs results in a dynamic translocation among subcellular
compartments (10,
11). Expression of multiple
isoforms in different cell types and in different subcellular localizations
suggests that individual PKD isoforms may serve specific functions. The
majority of findings demonstrating the diverse expression patterns and
functions of PKD have been described using established cell lines
(4-9,
12). However, little is known
about PKD isoform expression and function in normal differentiated cells and
tissues.Recent functional studies have shown that PKD isoforms differentially
regulate exocytic protein trafficking and cargo specificity
(9,
12-14).
Furthermore, PKD isoforms are differentially activated by oxidative stress
signaling via PKCδ-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation
(15). In each of these
studies, PKD3 was found to have a regulatory mechanism or cellular function
distinct from that of PKD1 and PKD2. Unlike the other two isoforms, PKD3 lacks
the N terminus hydrophobic domain or the C terminus PDZ binding motif and
contains divergent PH (pleckstrin homology) and C1 domains, which are
important for regulating its catalytic activity
(12,
16,
17). Current knowledge of the
physiologic function of PKD3 is limited. It has been demonstrated using
kinase-inactive mutants that PKD3 activity is required for basolateral
exocytosis in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells
(13). PKD3 has also been
implicated in the epigenetic control of chromatin by regulating class II
histone deacetylases in B lymphocytes
(18). Furthermore, PKD3 was
found to be a specific regulator of glucose transport in skeletal muscle cells
(19).The exocrine pancreas is highly specialized for the synthesis, storage, and
exocrine secretion of digestive enzymes and bicarbonate-rich fluid
(20). More than 90% of the
newly synthesized proteins in the pancreas is targeted to the secretory
pathway (21). In addition, the
pancreas contains a variety of endocrine cells localized to the islets which
secrete peptide hormones. Numerous steps in the secretory pathway are
modulated by DAG signaling, which promotes secretion by maintaining Golgi
function and/or activating DAG receptor kinases such as PKCs, which are
regulators of exocytic proteins
(1,
22-25).
PKD is also critical for DAG-mediated secretion, as it is recruited by DAG to
the trans-Golgi network, where it phosphorylates the lipid kinase
phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase to initiate the process of vesicle fission
(9,
26). Gastrointestinal (GI)
hormones such as cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin, neurotensin (NT), and
bombesin (BBS)/gastrin-releasing peptide are potent regulatory peptides that
modulate pancreatic function
(27,
28). They are known to
activate PKDs to promote cell proliferation and survival in gut epithelial
cells
(29-32);
however, the role of PKDs in modulating the secretory actions of GI hormones
is unknown.Although the PKD isoforms have been reported to be expressed in secretory
tissues such as salivary glands, adrenal glands, intestinal mucosa, and the
pituitary (3,
5,
33), the role of PKD in the
process of regulated secretion remains poorly understood. Previously, we
demonstrated that PKD1 mediates NT peptide secretion from a pancreas-derived
neuroendocrine cell line, BON, and that PKD1 activation is regulated by PKC
and Rho/Rho kinase pathways
(4); PKD1 and PKD2 isoforms are
highly expressed in this endocrine cell line with little to no PKD3
expression, thus suggesting that PKD1/2 may be the predominant isoforms for
endocrine secretion. The distribution and role of PKD isoforms in the
pancreas, an organ with both exocrine and endocrine functions, is not known.
Interestingly, we demonstrate that in both human and mouse pancreas, PKD3 is
the predominant PKD isoform expressed in the exocrine acini, whereas PKD1 and
PKD2 are more highly expressed in endocrine islets. PKD3 is catalytically
activated by GI hormone stimulation of the pancreas, and its activation is
dependent on CCK1/2 receptor binding and on DAG/PKC activity. PKD3
overexpression in mouse pancreatic acinar cells significantly increased
CCK-mediated pancreatic amylase secretion, suggesting that PKD3, in concert
with other signaling molecules, contributes to stimulated amylase secretion.
Our findings reveal a distinct expression pattern in the exocrine and
endocrine cells of the mouse and human pancreas and identify PKD3 as a novel
DAG-activated mediator of the exocrine secretory process in response to GI
hormone signaling. 相似文献
