The tyrosine kinase Ron, receptor for MSP (macrophage-stimulating protein), displays several serine residues of unknown functions. Using [32P]H3PO4 metabolic labelling, we found that Ron is serine-phosphorylated and dephosphorylated in vitro by PP1 (protein phosphatase 1). PP1 associates with Ron obtained from cells of different origins. The association is stimulated by MSP or serum and is prevented by wortmannin, an inhibitor of the Akt/PKB (protein serine/threonine kinase B) pathway. Akt/PKB phosphorylates Ron Ser-1394, thus providing a docking site for 14-3-3 (scaffold proteins binding to phosphoserine/phosphothreonine-containing sequences). In living cells, PP1 binds to the Ron mutant S1394A, but the association is no longer regulated by serum, MSP or wortmannin. The role of PP1 association with Ron is highlighted by (1) Ser-1394 dephosphorylation by PP1 in vitro and in living cells, (2) loss of 14-3-3 association with Ron after Ser-1394 dephosphorylation by PP1 in vitro and (3) an increase in 14-3-3 association after PP1 inactivation in living cells. These results suggest that PP1 can modulate the downstream Ron signalling generated by MSP via Akt/PKB and 14-3-3 binding. This is the first report on ligand-regulated association of PP1 with a growth factor receptor.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and increases a patient’s stroke risk five-fold. Reduced atrial contractility (stunning) is observed in AF and contributes to stroke risk; however, the mechanisms responsible for atrial stunning in AF are unknown. Recent data from our laboratory indicate that protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) dephosphorylation of myosin light chain 2a (MLC2a) may contribute to atrial stunning in AF. Objective: To determine how the PP1 regulatory subunit 12C (PPP1R12C) and catalytic (PPP1c) subunits modify atrial sarcomere phosphorylation in AF. Methods: We evaluated the protein expression, binding and phosphorylation among PPP1R12C, PPP1c, and MLC2a in transfected HL-1 cells, murine atrial tissue (Pitx2null +/– mice, with a genetic predisposition AF), and in HEK cells. An inhibitor of PPP1R12C phosphorylation, BDP5290, was used to enhance the PPP1R12C-PPP1C interaction. Results: In Pitx2 null +/– mice, PPP1R12C was increased by 2-fold ( P <0.01) and associated with a 40% reduction in S-19-MLC2a phosphorylation versus WT mice ( P <0.058). BDP5290 increased PPP1R12C-PPP1C binding by >3-fold in HL-1 cells ( P <0.01). BDP5290 reduced MLC2a phosphorylation by 40% through an enhanced interaction with PPP1R12C by >3-fold in HEK cells ( P <0.01). Conclusion: In Pitx2 null+/- mice, increased expression of PPP1R12C is associated with PP1 holoenzyme targeting to sarcomeric MLC2a, and is associated with reduced S19-MLC2a phosphorylation. Additionally, BDP5290 enhances the PPP1R12C-PPP1C interaction and models PP1 activity in AF. Future studies will examine the effects of both AF and BDP5290 upon atrial contractility in vitro.

KNL1 is a large intrinsically disordered kinetochore (KT) protein that recruits spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) components to mediate SAC signaling. The N-terminal region (NTR) of KNL1 possesses two activities that have been implicated in SAC silencing: microtubule (MT) binding and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) recruitment. The NTR of D. melanogaster KNL1 (Spc105) has never been shown to bind MTs nor to recruit PP1. Furthermore, the phospho-regulatory mechanisms known to control SAC protein binding to KNL1 orthologues is absent in D. melanogaster. Here, these apparent discrepancies are resolved using in vitro and cell based-assays. A phospho-regulatory circuit, which utilizes Aurora B kinase (ABK), promotes SAC protein binding to the central disordered region of Spc105 while the NTR binds directly to MTs in vitro and recruits PP1-87B to KTs in vivo. Live-cell assays employing an optogenetic oligomerization tag, and deletion/chimera mutants are used to define the interplay of MT- and PP1-binding by Spc105 and the relative contributions of both activities to the kinetics of SAC satisfaction.

Abstract Abstract 4038 Poster Board III-974 Protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) has been implicated in the regulation of KCC (K:Cl) transporters, which transport K+ and Cl- ions from red blood cells (RBCs) and in the setting of sickle cell disease may contribute to RBC dehydration and sickling. We have studied host cell protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) in the context of HIV-1 replication and designed novel small molecule non-competitive inhibitors of PP1 that are efficient in the inhibition of HIV-1 but not toxic for cultured cells. We analyzed the effect of our novel non-competitive PP1 inhibitors and the conventional competitive PP1 inhibitor, ocadaic acid, on the sickling of hemoglobin SS RBCs in vitro. We cultured hemoglobin SS RBCs overnight at 1% O2 in the presence of the PP1 inhibitors and then photographed the RBCs and counted the percentage of sickled RBCs. We found that the non-competitive PP1 inhibitor, 1E7-04 prevented RBC sickling by 40% at 10 mM concentration. The 1E7-04 was not toxic at 10 mM concentration for cultured CEM T cells as determined by trypan blue exclusion assay using an automatic cell counter. Our study suggests that small molecular inhibitors of PP1 might be candidates for the future design of anti-sickling drugs. Acknowledgments.

Protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) is complexed to many proteins that target it to particular subcellular locations and regulate its activity. Here, we show that ‘nuclear inhibitor of PP1’ (NIPP1), a major nuclear PP1-binding protein, shows a speckled nucleoplasmic distribution where it is colocalised with pre-mRNA splicing factors. One of these factors (Sm) is also shown to be complexed to NIPP1 in nuclear extracts. Immunodepletion of NIPP1 from nuclear extracts, or addition of a ‘dominant negative’ mutant lacking a functional PP1 binding site, greatly reduces pre-mRNA splicing activity in vitro. These findings implicate the NIPP1-PP1 complex in the control of pre-mRNA splicing.

The spindle- and kinetochore-associated (Ska) complex is essential for normal anaphase onset in mitosis. The C-terminal domain (CTD) of Ska1 binds microtubules and was proposed to facilitate kinetochore movement on depolymerizing spindle microtubules. Here, we show that Ska complex recruits protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) to kinetochores. This recruitment requires the Ska1 CTD, which binds PP1 in vitro and in human HeLa cells. Ska1 lacking its CTD fused to a PP1-binding peptide or fused directly to PP1 rescues mitotic defects caused by Ska1 depletion. Ska1 fusion to catalytically dead PP1 mutant does not rescue and shows dominant negative effects. Thus, the Ska complex, specifically the Ska1 CTD, recruits PP1 to kinetochores to oppose spindle checkpoint signaling kinases and promote anaphase onset. Microtubule binding by Ska, rather than acting in force production for chromosome movement, may instead serve to promote PP1 recruitment to kinetochores fully attached to spindle microtubules at metaphase.

We previously showed that targeting of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) to the nuclear envelope (NE) by the A-kinase anchoring protein, AKAP149, correlates with nuclear assembly of B-type lamins in vitro. We demonstrate here that failure of AKAP149-mediated assembly of B-type lamins into the nuclear lamina at the end of mitosis is followed by apoptosis, and induces expression of the gene encoding A-type lamins in cells that normally do not express lamins A/C. In HeLa cells, inhibition of PP1 association with the NE mediated by a peptide containing the PP1-binding domain of AKAP149 results in failure of B-type lamins to assemble, and in their rapid caspase-dependent proteolysis. However, assembly of lamins A/C is not affected. Nonetheless, apoptosis follows within hours of nuclear reformation after mitosis. In lymphoid KE37 cells, which do not express lamins A/C, inhibition of B-type lamin assembly triggers rapid synthesis and nuclear assembly of both lamins A and C before apoptosis takes place. The results indicate that nuclear assembly of B-type lamins is essential for cell survival. They also suggest that mistargeting of B-type lamins at the end of mitosis elicits a tentative rescue process to assemble a nuclear lamina in lymphoid cells that normally do not express lamins A/C.

Several variant proteins are produced from EEF1D, including two representative proteins produced via alternative splicing machinery. One protein is the canonical translation eukaryotic elongation factor eEF1Bδ1, and the other is the heat shock-responsive transcription factor eEF1BδL. eEF1Bδ1 is phosphorylated by cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), but the machinery controlling eEF1BδL phosphorylation and dephosphorylation has not been clarified. In this study, we found that both proteins were dephosphorylated under heat shock and proteotoxic stress, and this dephosphorylation was inhibited by okadaic acid. Using proteins with mutations at putative phosphorylated residues, we revealed that eEF1Bδ1 and eEF1BδL are phosphorylated at S133 and S499, respectively, and these residues are both CDK1 phosphorylation sites. The eEF1BδL S499A mutant more strongly activated HSPA6 promoter-driven reporter than the wild-type protein and S499D mutant. Furthermore, protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) was co-immunoprecipitated with eEF1Bδ1 and eEF1BδL, and PP1 dephosphorylated both proteins in vitro. Thus, this study clarified the role of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation in the functional regulation of eEF1BδL during heat shock.
