Abstract: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.
