RESUMO

DEAD box (DDX) RNA helicases are a large family of ATPases, many of which have unknown functions. There is emerging evidence that besides their role in RNA biology, DDX proteins may stimulate protein kinases. To investigate if protein kinase-DDX interaction is a more widespread phenomenon, we conducted three orthogonal large-scale screens, including proteomics analysis with 32 RNA helicases, protein array profiling, and kinome-wide in vitro kinase assays. We retrieved Ser/Thr protein kinases as prominent interactors of RNA helicases and report hundreds of binary interactions. We identified members of ten protein kinase families, which bind to, and are stimulated by, DDX proteins, including CDK, CK1, CK2, DYRK, MARK, NEK, PRKC, SRPK, STE7/MAP2K, and STE20/PAK family members. We identified MARK1 in all screens and validated that DDX proteins accelerate the MARK1 catalytic rate. These findings indicate pervasive interactions between protein kinases and DEAD box RNA helicases, and provide a rich resource to explore their regulatory relationships.

RESUMO

DDX RNA helicases promote RNA processing, but DDX3X also activates casein kinase 1 (CK1ε). We show that other DDX proteins also stimulate the protein kinase activity of CK1ε and that this extends to casein kinase 2 (CK2). CK2 enzymatic activity was stimulated by various DDX proteins at high substrate concentrations. DDX1, DDX24, DDX41, and DDX54 were required for full kinase activity in vitro and in Xenopus embryos. Mutational analysis of DDX3X indicated that CK1 and CK2 kinase stimulation engages its RNA binding but not catalytic motifs. Mathematical modeling of enzyme kinetics and stopped-flow spectroscopy showed that DDX proteins function as nucleotide exchange factors toward CK2 and reduce unproductive reaction intermediates and substrate inhibition. Our study reveals protein kinase stimulation by nucleotide exchange as important for kinase regulation and as a generic function of DDX proteins.

RESUMO

The Schlafen gene family was first described in mice as a regulator of thymocyte development. Further studies showed involvement of human orthologs in different processes related with viral replication, cellular proliferation, and differentiation. In recent years, a new role for human Slfn11 in DNA replication and chromatin remodeling was described. As commonly observed in many gene families, Slfn paralogs show a tissue-specific expression. This made it difficult to reach conclusions which can be valid in different biological models regarding the function of the different Schlafen proteins. In the present study, we investigate the involvement of SLFN5 in cell-cycle regulation and cell proliferation. A careful analysis of SLFN5 expression revealed that SLFN5 is highly expressed in proliferating tissues and that the protein is ubiquitously present in all the tissues and cell line models we analyzed. Very interestingly, SLFN5 expression oscillates during cell cycle, peaking during S phase. The fact that SLFN5 interacts with protein phosphatase 2A and that SLFN5 depletion causes cell cycle arrest and cellular apoptosis, suggests a direct involvement of this human paralog in cell cycle progression and cellular proliferation. We substantiated our in vitro and in cellulo results using Xenopus laevis oocytes to show that mRNA depletion of the unique Slfn gene present in Xenopus, whose protein sequence shares 80% of homology with SLFN5, recapitulates the phenotype observed in human cells preventing the resumption of meiosis during oocyte development.

RESUMO

The human lysosomal polypeptide ABC transporter TAPL (ABC subfamily B member 9, ABCB9) transports 6-59-amino-acid-long polypeptides from the cytosol into lysosomes. The subcellular localization of TAPL depends solely on its N-terminal transmembrane domain, TMD0, which lacks conventional targeting sequences. However, the intracellular route and the molecular mechanisms that control TAPL localization remain unclear. Here, we delineated the route of TAPL to lysosomes and investigated the determinants of single trafficking steps. By synchronizing trafficking events by a retention using selective hooks (RUSH) assay and visualizing individual intermediate steps through immunostaining and confocal microscopy, we demonstrate that TAPL takes the direct route to lysosomes. We further identified conserved charged residues within TMD0 transmembrane helices that are essential for individual steps of lysosomal targeting. Substitutions of these residues retained TAPL in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi. We also observed that for release from the ER, a salt bridge between Asp-17 and Arg-57 is essential. An interactome analysis revealed that Yip1-interacting factor homolog B membrane-trafficking protein (YIF1B) interacts with TAPL. We also found that YIF1B is involved in ER-to-Golgi trafficking and interacts with TMD0 of TAPL via its transmembrane domain and that this interaction strongly depends on the newly identified salt bridge within TMD0. These results expand our knowledge about lysosomal trafficking of TAPL and the general function of extra transmembrane domains of ABC transporters.

RESUMO

The four OSKM factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC are key transcription factors modulating pluripotency, self-renewal and tumorigenesis in stem cells. However, although their transcriptional targets have been extensively studied, little is known about how these factors are regulated at the posttranslational level. In this study, we established an in vitro system to identify phosphorylation patterns of the OSKM factors by AKT kinase. OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC were expressed in Sf9 insect cells employing the baculoviral expression system. OCT4, SOX2 and KLF4 were localized in the nucleus of insect cells, allowing their easy purification to near homogeneity upon nuclear fractionation. All transcription factors were isolated as biologically active DNA-binding proteins. Using in vitro phosphorylation and mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteome analyses several novel and known AKT phosphorylation sites could be identified in OCT4, SOX2 and KLF4.
