Endocytosis is a dynamic process requiring a network of interacting proteins that assemble and disassemble during cargo capture and vesicle formation. A major mechanism for regulation of this process involves the reversible phosphorylation of endocytic factors. Recently, members of a new kinase family, the Ark/Prk kinases, which include mammalian AAK1 and GAK as well as yeast Prk1p, Ark1p, and Akl1p, were shown to regulate components of the endocytic machinery. These include animal AP-1/AP-2 mu chains and yeast Pan1p (Eps15-like), Sla1p, and epsins, but other potential targets are likely. SCD5, an essential yeast gene, was identified as a suppressor of clathrin deficiency. We also showed that Scd5p is required for normal cortical actin organization and endocytosis, possibly as a targeting subunit for protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1). Scd5p contains a central triple repeat (3R) motif related to a known Prk1p consensus phosphorylation site L/IxxQxTG, except that Q is replaced by T. In this study we demonstrate that the Scd5p 3R sequence is phosphorylated by Prk1p to negatively regulate Scd5p. Furthermore, we show that Prk1p, Ark1p, and Akl1p have different substrate specificities and play distinct roles in actin organization and endocytosis. 相似文献

A novel function of Arp2p in mediating Prk1p-specific regulation of actin and endocytosis in yeast 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The yeast protein Pan1p plays essential roles in actin cytoskeleton organization and endocytosis. It couples endocytosis with actin polymerization through its dual function in endocytic complex assembly and activation of the actin polymerization initiation complex Arp2/3p. Phosphorylation of Pan1p and other components of the endocytic complex by the kinase Prk1p leads to disassembly of the coat complex and the termination of vesicle-associated actin polymerization. A homologous kinase, Ark1p, has also been implicated in this regulatory process. In this study, we investigated the distinct roles of Prk1p and Ark1p. We found that the nonkinase domains determined the functional specificity of the two kinases. A short region located adjacent to the kinase domain unique to Prk1p was found to be required for the kinase to interact with Arp2p. Further studies demonstrated that the Prk1p-Arp2p interaction is critical for down-regulation of Pan1p. These findings reveal that, in addition to its role in the nucleation of actin polymerization, Arp2p also mediates what appears to be an auto-regulatory mechanism possibly adapted for efficient coordination of actin assembly and disassembly during endocytosis. 相似文献

Ark1p (actin regulating kinase 1) was identified as a yeast protein that binds to Sla2p, an evolutionarily conserved cortical actin cytoskeleton protein. Ark1p and a second yeast protein, Prk1p, contain NH2-terminal kinase domains that are 70% identical. Together with six other putative kinases from a number of organisms, these proteins define a new protein kinase family that we have named the Ark family. Lack of both Ark1p and Prk1p resulted in the formation of large cytoplasmic actin clumps and severe defects in cell growth. These defects were rescued by wild-type, but not by kinase-dead versions of the proteins. Elevated levels of either Ark1p or Prk1p caused a number of actin and cell morphological defects that were not observed when the kinase-dead versions were overexpressed instead. Ark1p and Prk1p were shown to localize to actin cortical patches, making these two kinases the first signaling proteins demonstrated to be patch components. These results suggest that Ark1p and Prk1p may be downstream effectors of signaling pathways that control actin patch organization and function. Furthermore, results of double-mutant analyses suggest that Ark1p and Prk1p function in overlapping but distinct pathways that regulate the cortical actin cytoskeleton. 相似文献

The formin family of proteins promotes the assembly of linear actin filaments in the cells of diverse eukaryotic organisms. The predominant formins in mammalian cells are self‐inhibited by an intramolecular interaction between two terminal domains and are activated by the binding of the Rho GTPases and other factors. In this study, we show that Bni1p, a formin required for the assembly of actin cables in budding yeast, is also regulated by an autoinhibitory mechanism and phosphorylation by the actin regulatory kinase Prk1p, and possibly Ark1p as well, plays a key role in unlocking the inhibition. Bni1p is phosphorylated by Prk1p at three [L/V/I]xxxxTG motifs in vitro, and the phosphorylation is sufficient to activate Bni1p by disrupting its intramolecular interaction. This finding extends the roles of Prk1p in the regulation of actin dynamics to be associated with both anterograde and retrograde transport pathways, i.e. exocytosis and endocytosis, in yeast. 相似文献

In both yeast and mammals, endocytic internalization is accompanied by a transient burst of actin polymerization. The yeast protein kinases Prk1p and Ark1p, which are related to the mammalian proteins GAK and AAK1, are key regulators of this process. However, the molecular mechanism(s) by which they regulate actin assembly at endocytic sites have not yet been determined. The Eps15-like yeast protein Pan1p is a Prk1p substrate that is essential for endocytic internalization and for proper actin organization. Pan1p is an Arp2/3 activator and here we show that this activity is dependent on F-actin binding. Mutation of all 15 Prk1p-targeted threonines in Pan1p to alanines mimicked the ark1Delta prk1Delta phenotype, demonstrating that Pan1p is a key Prk1p target in vivo. Moreover, phosphorylation by Prk1p inhibited the ability of Pan1p to bind to F-actin and to activate the Arp2/3 complex, thereby identifying the endocytic phosphoregulation mechanism of Prk1p. We conclude that Prk1p phosphorylation of Pan1p shuts off Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization on endocytic vesicles, allowing them to fuse with endosomes. 相似文献

The protein kinase Prk1p (standing for p53 regulating kinase 1) of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the prototype of a kinase family identified recently as important regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis. These kinases all have a highly homologous serine/threonine kinase domain in their N-terminal region but share no significant homology in other regions. Prk1p also contains a proline-rich motif near its C-terminus that is required for the proper subcellular localization of the protein. The kinase activity of Prk1p has been confirmed by both in vitro and in vivo studies and shown to be essential for the protein's function. To date, several proteins that play essential roles in actin cytoskeleton organization and endocytosis have been identified as the regulatory targets of Prk1p. Phosphorylation on the [L/I/V/N]xx[Q/N/T/S]xTG motifs by Prk1p results in a down-regulation of the functions of these target proteins. The observation that many yeast proteins involved in the actin cytoskeleton organization and endocytosis contain the Prk1p phosphorylation motifs has led to the hypothesis that the Prk1p family of kinases are possibly the general regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis in yeast. 相似文献

The yeast actin-regulating kinases Ark1p and Prk1p are signaling proteins localized to cortical actin patches, which may be sites of endocytosis. Interactions between the endocytic proteins Pan1p and End3p may be regulated by Prk1p-dependent threonine phosphorylation of Pan1p within the consensus sequence [L/I]xxQxTG. We identified two Prk1p phosphorylation sites within the Pan1p-binding protein Ent1p, a yeast epsin homologue, and demonstrate Prk1p-dependent phosphorylation of both threonines. Converting both threonines to either glutamate or alanine mimics constitutively phosphorylated or dephosphorylated Ent1p, respectively. Synthetic growth defects were observed in a pan1-20 ENT1(EE) double mutant, suggesting that Ent1p phosphorylation negatively regulates the formation/activity of a Pan1p-Ent1p complex. Interestingly, pan1-20 ent2 Delta but not pan1-20 ent1 Delta double mutants had improved growth and endocytosis over the pan1-20 mutant. We found that actin-regulating Ser/Thr kinase (ARK) mutants exhibit endocytic defects and that overexpressing either wild-type or alanine-substituted Ent1p partially suppressed phenotypes associated with loss of ARK kinases, including growth, endocytosis, and actin localization defects. Consistent with synthetic growth defects of pan1-20 ENT1(EE) cells, overexpressing glutamate-substituted Ent1p was deleterious to ARK mutants. Surprisingly, overexpressing the related Ent2p protein could not suppress ARK kinase mutant phenotypes. These results suggest that Ent1p and Ent2p are not completely redundant and may perform opposing functions in endocytosis. These data support the model that, as for clathrin-dependent recycling of synaptic vesicles, yeast endocytic protein phosphorylation inhibits endocytic functions. 相似文献

Sjl2p is one of three yeast phosphoinositide 5'-phosphatases that belong to the conserved family of synaptojanins. Here, we show that Sjl2p is specifically associated with cortical actin patches which aggregate upon loss of the actin-regulating kinases Ark1p and Prk1p. The Sjl2p-containing clumps overlap with clathrin and early endocytic structures generated independently of NSF/Sec18p, but not with endosome- and trans Golgi network-derived membranes. Consistent with the finding that Sjl2p can bind to clathrin heavy chain in vitro, our results suggest that Sjl2p localizes to smooth endocytic vesicles that may be derived from clathrin-coated structures. 相似文献

Prk1p is a serine/threonine kinase involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton organization in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Previously, we have identified LxxQxTG as the phosphorylation site of Prk1p. In this report, the recognition sequence for Prk1p is investigated more thoroughly. It is found that the presence of a hydrophobic residue at the position of P-5 is necessary for Prk1p phosphorylation and L, I, V, and M are all able to confer the phosphorylation at various efficiencies. The residue flexibility at P-2 has also been identified to include Q, N, T, and S. A homology-based three-dimensional model of the kinase domain of Prk1p provided some structural interpretations for these substrate specificities. The characterization of the [L/I/V/M]xx[Q/N/T/S]xTG motif led to the identification of a spectrum of potential targets for Prk1p from yeast genome. One of them, Scd5p, which contains three LxxTxTG motifs and is previously known to be important for endocytosis and actin organization, has been chosen to demonstrate its relationship with Prk1p. Phosphorylation of Scd5p by Prk1p at the three LxxTxTG motifs could be detected in vitro and in vivo, and deletion of PRK1 suppressed the defects in actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis in one of the scd5 mutants. These results allowed us to conclude that Scd5p is likely another regulatory target of Prk1p. 相似文献

The yeast protein Pan1p plays a key role in actin-driven endocytosis. The molecular architecture enables the protein to perform multivalent tasks. First, Pan1p acts as a central scaffold for assembly of coat complex at the endocytic sites through its binding to multiple endocytic proteins. Secondly, Pan1p is also required for normal actin cytoskeleton organization and dynamics at the cell cortex. It is capable of F-actin binding and promoting the Arp2/3-mediated actin nucleation via its WH2 and acid domains. Pan1p, therefore, is responsible for the mechanism of coupling the vesicle coat to actin network in the early steps of internalization. The function of Pan1p is under a negative regulation by the kinase Prk1p. Phosphorylation of Pan1p by Prk1p results in disassembly of the coat complex and dissociation of the vesicle from actin meshwork after internalization. The phosphorylation of Pan1p is possibly reversed by the type 1 phosphatase Glc7p, which will allow Pan1p to be reused for coat assembly in the next round of endocytosis. 相似文献

Pan1p plays essential roles in both actin and endocytosis in yeast. It interacts with, and regulates the function of, multiple endocytic proteins and actin assembly machinery. Phosphorylation of Pan1p by the kinase Prk1p down-regulates its activity, resulting in disassembly of the endocytic vesicle coat complex and termination of vesicle-associated actin polymerization. In this study, we focus on the mechanism that acts to release Pan1p from phosphorylation inhibition. We show that Pan1p is dephosphorylated by the phosphatase Glc7p, and the dephosphorylation is dependent on the Glc7p-targeting protein Scd5p, which itself is a phosphorylation target of Prk1p. Scd5p links Glc7p to Pan1p in two ways: directly by interacting with Pan1p and indirectly by interacting with the Pan1p-binding protein End3p. Depletion of Glc7p from the cells causes defects in cell growth, actin organization, and endocytosis, all of which can be partially suppressed by deletion of the PRK1 gene. These results suggest that Glc7p antagonizes the activity of the Prk1p kinase in regulating the functions of Pan1p and possibly other actin- and endocytosis-related proteins. 相似文献

A dynamic balance between targeted transport and endocytosis is critical for polarized cell growth. However, how actin-mediated endocytosis is regulated in different growth modes remains unclear. Here we report differential regulation of cortical actin patch dynamics between the yeast and hyphal growth in Candida albicans. The mechanism involves phosphoregulation of the endocytic protein Sla1 by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Cdc28-Cln3 and the actin-regulating kinase Prk1. Mutational studies of the CDK phosphorylation sites of Sla1 revealed that Cdc28-Cln3 phosphorylation of Sla1 enhances its further phosphorylation by Prk1, weakening Sla1 association with Pan1, an activator of the actin-nucleating Arp2/3 complex. Sla1 is rapidly dephosphorylated upon hyphal induction and remains so throughout hyphal growth. Consistently, cells expressing a phosphomimetic version of Sla1 exhibited markedly reduced actin patch dynamics, impaired endocytosis, and defective hyphal development, whereas a nonphosphorylatable Sla1 had the opposite effect. Taken together, our findings establish a molecular link between CDK and a key component of the endocytic machinery, revealing a novel mechanism by which endocytosis contributes to cell morphogenesis. 相似文献

The Prk1 family of protein kinases are important regulators of endocytosis and actin cytoskeleton in some eukaryotic cells. In budding yeast, Prk1p phosphorylates numerous endocytic proteins including Pan1p and Sla1p. Prk1p has been observed to undergo autophosphorylation in vivo . In this study, we determined the sites and underlying role of the autophosphorylation. Two sites located in the noncatalytic region were identified to be the autophosphorylation sites. When the sites were mutated, the non-autophosphorylatable Prk1p phosphorylated Pan1p and Sla1p more efficiently than the wild-type kinase, suggesting a negative effect of the autophosphorylation. In addition, the dynamic properties of actin and the coat complex were also altered in the autophosphorylation mutant cells. Interestingly, the autophosphorylation of Prk1p was dependent on cortical localization of the kinase and could be induced by phosphorylated Sla1p. These results suggest that the autophosphorylation of Prk1p may represent a feedback mechanism possibly involved in fine-tuning the pace of progression during actin-coupled endocytosis. 相似文献

Pan1p is an essential protein of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is required for the internalization step of endocytosis and organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Pan1p, which binds several other endocytic proteins, is composed of multiple protein-protein interaction domains including two Eps15 Homology (EH) domains, a coiled-coil domain, an acidic Arp2/3-activating region, and a proline-rich domain. In this study, we have induced high-level expression of various domains of Pan1p in wild-type cells to assess the dominant consequences on viability, endocytosis, and actin organization. We found that the most severe phenotypes, with blocked endocytosis and aggregated actin, required expression of nearly full length Pan1p, and also required the endocytic regulatory protein kinase Prk1p. The central coiled-coil domain was the smallest fragment whose overexpression caused any dominant effects; these effects were more pronounced by inclusion of the second EH domain. Co-overexpressing nonoverlapping amino- and carboxy-terminal fragments did not mimic the effects of the intact protein, whereas fragments that overlapped within the coiled-coil region could. Yeast two-hybrid and in vivo coimmunoprecipitation analyses suggest that Pan1 may form dimers or higher order oligomers. Collectively, our data support a view of Pan1p as a dimeric/oligomeric scaffold whose functions require both the amino- and carboxy-termini, linked by the central region. 相似文献

The serine/threonine kinase Prk1p is known to be involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton organization in budding yeast. One possible function of Prk1p is the negative regulation of Pan1p, an actin patch regulatory protein that forms a complex in vivo with at least two other proteins, Sla1p and End3p. In this report, we identified Sla1p as another substrate for Prk1p. The phosphorylation of Sla1p by Prk1p was established in vitro with the use of immunoprecipitated Prk1p and in vivo with the use of PRK1 overexpression, and was further supported by the finding that immunoprecipitated Sla1p contained PRK1- and ARK1-dependent kinase activities. Stable complex formation between Prk1p and Sla1p/Pan1p in vivo could be observed once the phosphorylation reaction was blocked by mutation in the catalytic site of Prk1p. Elevation of Prk1p activities in wild-type cells resulted in a number of deficiencies, including those in colocalization of Pan1p and Sla1p, endocytosis, and cell wall morphogenesis, likely attributable to a disintegration of the Pan1p/Sla1p/End3p complex. These results lend a strong support to the model that the phosphorylation of the Pan1p/Sla1p/End3p complex by Prk1p is one of the important mechanisms by which the organization and functions of the actin cytoskeleton are regulated. 相似文献

Identification of an adaptor-associated kinase, AAK1, as a regulator of clathrin-mediated endocytosis

The mu 2 subunit of the AP2 complex is known to be phosphorylated in vitro by a copurifying kinase, and it has been demonstrated recently that mu 2 phosphorylation is required for transferrin endocytosis (Olusanya, O., P.D. Andrews, J.R. Swedlow, and E. Smythe. 2001. Curr. Biol. 11:896-900). However, the identity of the endogenous kinase responsible for this phosphorylation is unknown. Here we identify and characterize a novel member of the Prk/Ark family of serine/threonine kinases, adaptor-associated kinase (AAK)1. We find that AAK1 copurifies with adaptor protein (AP)2 and that it directly binds the ear domain of alpha-adaptin in vivo and in vitro. In neuronal cells, AAK1 is enriched at presynaptic terminals, whereas in nonneuronal cells it colocalizes with clathrin and AP2 in clathrin-coated pits and at the leading edge of migrating cells. AAK1 specifically phosphorylates the mu subunit in vitro, and stage-specific assays for endocytosis show that mu phosphorylation by AAK1 results in a decrease in AP2-stimulated transferrin internalization. Together, these results provide strong evidence that AAK1 is the endogenous mu 2 kinase and plays a regulatory role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. These results also lend support to the idea that clathrin-mediated endocytosis is controlled by cycles of phosphorylation/desphosphorylation. 相似文献

The chromosomal passenger proteins aurora-B, survivin, and inner centromere protein (INCENP) have been implicated in coordinating chromosome segregation with cell division. This work describes the interplay between aurora, survivin, and INCENP orthologs in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and defines their roles in regulating chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. We describe the cloning and characterization of the aurora-related kinase gene ark1(+), demonstrating that it is an essential gene required for sister chromatid segregation. Cells lacking Ark1p exhibit the cut phenotype, DNA fragmentation, and other defects in chromosome segregation. Overexpression of a kinase-defective version of Ark1, Ark1-K147R, inhibits cytokinesis, with cells exhibiting an elongated, multiseptate phenotype. Ark1p interacts physically and/or genetically with the survivin and INCENP orthologs Bir1p and Pic1p. We identified Pic1p in a two-hybrid screen for Ark1-K147R interacting partners and went on to map domains in both proteins that mediate their binding. Pic1p residues 925-972 are necessary and sufficient for Ark1p binding, which occurs through the kinase domain. As with Ark1-K147R, overexpression of Ark1p-binding fragments of Pic1p leads to multiseptate phenotypes. We also provide evidence that the dominant-negative effect of Ark1-K147R requires Pic1p binding, indicating that the formation of Ark1p-Pic1p complexes is required for the execution of cytokinesis. 相似文献

The polo-like kinase family plays a vital role in many cell cycle related events. The family includes mammalian Plkl, Snk (Plk2), and Fnk/Prk (Plk3), Xenopus laevis Plxl,Drosophila polo, fission yeast Plol, and budding yeast Cdc5. These enzymes, in addition to a conserved kinase domain at the N-terminus, have highly conserved sequences called polo-box(s) in the non-catalytic C-terminal domain. Genetic and biochemical experiments with several different organisms have documented that polo-like kinases are involved in many aspects of the cell cycle, such as activation of Cdc2, centrosome assembly and maturation, activation of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) during the metaphase-anaphase transition, and cytokinesis. 相似文献

With the completion of the sequences of entire genomes, the need for functional characterisation of proteins and their domains is becoming acute. Conserved regions within proteins often share overlapping functions but despite this conservation may fulfil quite different tasks in different species. In this work, we investigated the cysteine-rich motif (C1 domain) of yeast protein kinase C (Pkc1p) as a model to establish a test system for domain function. C1 domains activate kinases through binding of either diacylglycerol and/or phosphatidylserine, as in many members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family, or by binding small GTPases, as in Raf kinase. In contrast to other members of the protein kinase C superfamily, Pkc1p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is activated via binding of the small G-protein Rho1p to its C1 domain. We developed a system for domain shuffling to establish the function of C1 domains from human Raf kinase and rat PKC eta in yeast. Only the C1 domain from Raf kinase enabled the chimeric enzyme to bind Rho1p when substituted for the native yeast domain. Accordingly, a chimeric Pkc1p carrying the C1 from Raf kinase, but not that from PKC eta, was able to partially complement the phenotypes of a yeast pkc1 deletion mutant. We interpret these data as further evidence that interaction with a small GTPase is the main regulatory function of the C1 domain in yeast. 相似文献
