ABSTRACT
PDZRN3 (also known as LNX3) is a member of the PDZ domain-containing RING finger protein family. We previously showed that PDZRN3 is essential for differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes and that depletion of PDZRN3 inhibits such differentiation downstream of the upregulation of myogenin, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor required for completion of the differentiation process. However, the mechanism by which PDZRN3 controls this process has remained unclear. Myogenin is rendered active during the late stage of myogenic differentiation by the downregulation of Id2, a negative regulator of bHLH transcription factors. We now show that depletion of PDZRN3 inhibits the differentiation of C2C12 cells by inducing the upregulation of Id2 and thereby delaying its downregulation. Knockdown of Id2 by RNA interference restores the differentiation of PDZRN3-depleted cells. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that a putative binding site for STAT5b in the Id2 gene promoter is required for the upregulation of Id2 expression by PDZRN3 depletion. In addition, the amount of phosphorylated Id2 was reduced and that of the nonphosphorylated protein concomitantly increased in PDZRN3-depleted cells, with the inhibitory effect of Id2 on bHLH transcription factors having previously been shown to be attenuated by phosphorylation of Id2 catalyzed by the complex of Cdk2 with cyclin A2 or E1. Indeed, the expression of cyclin A2, but not that of cyclin E1, was reduced in PDZRN3-depleted cells. Our results thus indicate that PDZRN3 plays a key role in the differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes by regulating Id2 at both transcriptional and posttranslational levels.
