The myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein family has two known members, MARCKS itself and MARCKS-related protein (MRP, also called MacMARCKS or F52). They are essential for brain development and are believed to regulate the structure of the actin cytoskeleton at the plasma membrane. Hence membrane binding is central to their function. MARCKS has been quite extensively characterized; MRP much less so. Despite the fact that MRP is only two thirds the size of MARCKS, it has hitherto been assumed that the two proteins have similar properties. Here we make a detailed study, including the effects of myristoylation, lipid composition, calmodulin and phosphorylation of the binding of MRP to phospholipid vesicles. We show that both the N-terminal myristoyl moiety and the central effector domain mediate binding. MRP behaves like MARCKS in the presence of neutral phospholipids. In contrast to MARCKS, however, the incorporation of 20% of negatively-charged phospholipids only marginally increases the affinity of myristoylated MRP. Co-operativity between the myristoyl moiety and the effector domain of MRP is weak and the protein has a significantly lower affinity for these vesicles compared with MARCKS. Furthermore, calmodulin or phosphorylation of the effector domain by the catalytic subunit of protein kinase C do not significantly decrease the binding of myristoylated MRP to negatively-charged phospholipid vesicles. Our results show that the mechanisms regulating the interactions of MARCKS and MRP with phospholipid vesicles are, at least quantitatively, different. In agreement with cellular studies, we therefore propose that MARCKS and MRP have different subcellular localization and, consequently, different functions.

Natively Unfolded

The proteins of the MARCKS (myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate) family were first identified as prominent substrates of protein kinase C (PKC). Since then, these proteins have been implicated in the regulation of brain development and postnatal survival, cellular migration and adhesion, as well as endo-, exo- and phago-cytosis, and neurosecretion. The effector domain of MARCKS proteins is phosphorylated by PKC, binds to calmodulin and contributes to membrane binding. This multitude of mutually exclusive interactions allows cross-talk between the signal transduction pathways involving PKC and calmodulin. This review focuses on recent, mostly biophysical and biochemical results renewing interest in this protein family. MARCKS membrane binding is now understood at the molecular level. From a structural point of view, there is a consensus emerging that MARCKS proteins are ‘natively unfolded'. Interestingly, domains similar to the effector domain have been discovered in other proteins. Furthermore, since the effector domain enhances the polymerization of actin in vitro, MARCKS proteins have been proposed to mediate regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. However, the recent observations that MARCKS might serve to sequester phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in the plasma membrane of unstimulated cells suggest an alternative model for the control of the actin cytoskeleton. While myristoylation is classically considered to be a co-translational, irreversible event, new reports on MARCKS proteins suggest a more dynamic picture of this protein modification. Finally, studies with mice lacking MARCKS proteins have investigated the functions of these proteins during embryonic development in the intact organism.
