    Abstract Objective: CD36 phosphorylation on its extracellular domain inhibits binding of thrombospondin-1. The mechanisms of cellular CD36 ectodomain phosphorylation and whether it can be regulated in cells are not known. We determined structure-function relationships of CD36 phosphorylation related to thrombospondin-1 peptide binding in vitro and explored mechanisms regulating phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC) in melanoma cells.
    Methods and results: Phosphorylation of CD36 peptide on Thr92 by PKCα suppressed binding of thrombospondin-1 peptides in vitro, and the level of inhibition correlated with the level of phosphorylation. Basal phosphorylation levels of CD36 in vivo in platelets, endothelial cells, and melanoma cells were assessed by immunoprecipitation and immunoblot and were found to be very low. Treatment of CD36-transfected melanoma cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a PKC activator, induced substantial CD36 phosphorylation and decreased ligand-mediated recruitment of Src-family proteins to CD36. PMA treatment did not induce detectable extracellular or cell surface-associated kinase activity, and both cycloheximide and brefeldin A blocked CD36 phosphorylation.
    Conclusion: New protein synthesis and trafficking through the Golgi are required for PMA-induced CD36 phosphorylation, suggesting that phosphorylation probably occurs intracellularly. These studies suggest a novel in vivo pathway for CD36 phosphorylation that modulates cellular affinity for thrombospondin-related proteins to blunt vascular cell signaling.

    Abstract The heat shock protein 90 kDa (Hsp90) molecular chaperone machinery is responsible for the folding and activation of hundreds of important clients such as kinases, steroid hormone receptors, transcription factors, etc. This process is dynamically regulated in an ATP-dependent manner by Hsp90 co-chaperones including a group of tetratricopeptide (TPR) motif proteins that bind to the C-terminus of Hsp90. Among these TPR containing co-chaperones, FK506-binding protein 51 kDa (FKBP51) is reported to play an important role in stress-related pathologies, psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer, making FKBP51-Hsp90 interaction a potential therapeutic target. In this study, we report identification of potent and selective inhibitors of FKBP51-Hsp90 protein-protein interaction using a structure-based virtual screening approach. Upon in vitro evaluation, the identified hits show a considerable degree of selectivity towards FKBP51 over other TPR proteins, particularly for highly homologous FKBP52. Tyr355 of FKBP51 emerged as an important contributor to inhibitor's specificity. Additionally, we demonstrate the impact of these inhibitors on cellular energy metabolism, and neurite outgrowth, which are subjects of FKBP51 regulation. Overall, the results from this study highlight a novel pharmacological approach towards regulation of FKBP51 function and more generally, Hsp90 function via its interaction with TPR co-chaperones.

    Abstract Eukaryotic proteins often feature modular domain structures comprising globular domains that are connected by linker regions and intrinsically disordered regions that may contain important functional motifs. The intramolecular interactions of globular domains and nonglobular regions can play critical roles in different aspects of protein function. However, studying these interactions and their regulatory roles can be challenging due to the flexibility of nonglobular regions, the long insertions separating interacting modules, and the transient nature of some interactions. Obtaining the experimental structures of multiple domains and functional regions is more difficult than determining the structures of individual globular domains. High-quality structural models generated by AlphaFold offer a unique opportunity to study intramolecular interactions in eukaryotic proteins. In this study, we systematically explored intramolecular interactions between human protein kinase domains (KDs) and potential regulatory regions, including globular domains, N- and C-terminal tails, long insertions, and distal nonglobular regions. Our analysis identified intramolecular interactions between human KDs and 35 different types of globular domains, exhibiting a variety of interaction modes that could contribute to orthosteric or allosteric regulation of kinase activity. We also identified prevalent interactions between human KDs and their flanking regions (N- and C-terminal tails). These interactions exhibit group-specific characteristics and can vary within each specific kinase group. Although long-range interactions between KDs and nonglobular regions are relatively rare, structural details of these interactions offer new insights into the regulation mechanisms of several kinases, such as HASPIN, MAPK7, MAPK15, and SIK1B.

    Abstract Four-jointed box kinase 1 (Fjx1) is a planar cell polarity (PCP) protein and a member of the Fat (FAT atypical cadherin 1)/Dchs (Dachsous cadherin-related protein)/Fjx1 PCP complex. Fjx1 is also a non-receptor Ser/Thr protein kinase capable of phosphorylating Fat1 at is extracellular cadherin domains when it is being transported across the Golgi system. As such, Fjx1 is a Golgi-based regulator of Fat1 function by determining its extracellular deposition. Herein, Fjx1 was found to localize across the Sertoli cell cytoplasm, partially co-localized with the microtubules (MTs) across the seminiferous epithelium. It was most notable at the apical ES (ectoplasmic specialization) and basal ES, displaying distinctive stage-specific expression. The apical ES and basal ES are the corresponding testis-specific cell adhesion ultrastructures at the Sertoli-elongated spermatid interface and the Sertoli cell-cell interface, respectively, consistent with the role of Fjx1 as a Golgi-associated Ser/Thr kinase that modulates the Fat (and/or Dchs) integral membrane proteins. Its knockdown (KD) by RNAi using specific Fjx1 siRNA duplexes versus non-targeting negative control siRNA duplexes was found to perturb the Sertoli cell tight junction function, as well as perturbing the function and organization of MT and actin. While Fjx1 KD did not affect the steady-state levels of almost two dozens of BTB-associated Sertoli cell proteins, including structural and regulatory proteins, its KD was found to down-regulate Fat1 (but not Fat2, 3, and 4) and to up-regulate Dchs1 (but not Dchs2) expression. Based on results of biochemical analysis, Fjx1 KD was found to be capable of abolishing phosphorylation of its putative substrate Fat1 at its Ser/Thr sites, but not at its Tyr site, illustrating an intimate functional relationship of Fjx1 and Fat1 in Sertoli cells.

    Abstract A large number of small membrane proteins have been uncovered in bacteria, but their mechanism of action has remained mostly elusive. Here, we investigate the mechanism of a physiologically important small protein, MgrB, which represses the activity of the sensor kinase PhoQ and is widely distributed among enterobacteria. The PhoQ/PhoP two-component system is a master regulator of the bacterial virulence program and interacts with MgrB to modulate bacterial virulence, fitness, and drug resistance. A combination of cross-linking approaches with functional assays and protein dynamic simulations revealed structural rearrangements due to interactions between MgrB and PhoQ near the membrane/periplasm interface and along the transmembrane helices. These interactions induce the movement of the PhoQ catalytic domain and the repression of its activity. Without MgrB, PhoQ appears to be much less sensitive to antimicrobial peptides, including the commonly used C18G. In the presence of MgrB, C18G promotes MgrB to dissociate from PhoQ, thus activating PhoQ via derepression. Our findings reveal the inhibitory mechanism of the small protein MgrB and uncover its importance in antimicrobial peptide sensing.

    Abstract Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) has taken center stage in Parkinson's disease (PD) research as mutations cause familial PD and more common variants increase lifetime risk for disease. One unique feature in LRRK2 is the coexistence of GTPase/Roc (Ras of complex) and kinase catalytic functions, bridged by a COR (C-terminal Of Roc) platform for dimerization. Multiple PD mutations are located within the Roc/GTPase domain and concomitantly lead to defective GTPase activity and augmented kinase activity in cells, supporting a crosstalk between GTPase and kinase domains. In addition, biochemical and structural data highlight the importance of Roc as a molecular switch modulating LRRK2 monomer-to-dimer equilibrium and building the interface for interaction with binding partners. Here we review the effects of PD Roc mutations on LRRK2 function and discuss the importance of Roc as a hub for multiple molecular interactions relevant for the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and intracellular trafficking pathways. Among the well-characterized Roc interactors, we focused on the cytoskeletal-related kinase p21-activated kinase 6 (PAK6). We report the affinity between LRRK2-Roc and PAK6 measured by microscale thermophoresis (MST). We further show that PAK6 can modulate LRRK2-mediated phosphorylation of RAB substrates in the presence of LRRK2 wild-type (WT) or the PD G2019S kinase mutant but not when the PD Roc mutation R1441G is expressed. These findings support a mechanism whereby mutations in Roc might affect LRRK2 activity through impaired protein-protein interaction in the cell.

    Abstract Primary cilia are non-motile antennae-like structures responsible for sensing environmental changes in most mammalian cells. Ciliary signalling is largely mediated by the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) pathway, which acts as a master regulator of ciliary protein transit and is essential for normal embryonic development. One particularly important player in primary cilia is the orphan G protein-coupled receptor, GPR161. In this review, we introduce GPR161 in the context of Shh signalling and describe the unique features on its C-terminus such as PKA phosphorylation sites and an A-kinase anchoring protein motif, which may influence the function of the receptor, cAMP compartmentalisation and/or trafficking within primary cilia. We discuss the recent putative pairing of GPR161 and spexin-1, highlighting the additional steps needed before GPR161 could be considered 'deorphanised'. Finally, we speculate that the marked constitutive activity and unconventional regulation of GPR161 may indicate that the receptor may not require an endogenous ligand.

    Abstract G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) control intracellular signaling cascades via agonist-dependent coupling to intracellular transducers including heterotrimeric G proteins, GPCR kinases (GRKs), and arrestins. In addition to their critical interactions with the transmembrane core of active GPCRs, all three classes of transducers have also been reported to interact with receptor C-terminal domains (CTDs). An underexplored aspect of GPCR CTDs is their possible role as lipid sensors given their proximity to the membrane. CTD-membrane interactions have the potential to control the accessibility of key regulatory CTD residues to downstream effectors and transducers. Here we report that the CTDs of two closely related family C GPCRs, metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2) and mGluR3, bind to membranes and that this interaction can regulate receptor function. We first characterize CTD structure with NMR spectroscopy, revealing lipid composition-dependent modes of membrane binding. Using molecular dynamics simulations and structure-guided mutagenesis, we then identify key conserved residues and cancer-associated mutations that modulate CTD-membrane binding. Finally, we provide evidence that mGluR3 transducer coupling is controlled by CTD-membrane interactions in live cells, which may be subject to regulation by CTD phosphorylation and changes in membrane composition. This work reveals a novel mechanism of GPCR modulation, suggesting that CTD-membrane binding may be a general regulatory mode throughout the broad GPCR superfamily.

    Abstract FAM20C (family with sequence similarity 20, member C) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that is ubiquitously expressed and mainly associated with biomineralization and phosphatemia regulation. It is mostly known due to pathogenic variants causing its deficiency, which results in Raine syndrome (RNS), a sclerosing bone dysplasia with hypophosphatemia. The phenotype is recognized by the skeletal features, which are related to hypophosphorylation of different FAM20C bone-target proteins. However, FAM20C has many targets, including brain proteins and the cerebrospinal fluid phosphoproteome. Individuals with RNS can have developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, and structural brain defects, but little is known about FAM20C brain-target-protein dysregulation or about a potential pathogenesis associated with neurologic features. In order to identify the potential FAM20C actions on the brain, an in silico analysis was conducted. Structural and functional defects reported in RNS were described; FAM20C targets and interactors were identified, including their brain expression. Gene ontology of molecular processes, function, and components was completed for these targets, as well as for potential involved signaling pathways and diseases. The BioGRID and Human Protein Atlas databases, the Gorilla tool, and the PANTHER and DisGeNET databases were used. Results show that genes with high expression in the brain are involved in cholesterol and lipoprotein processes, plus axo-dendritic transport and the neuron part. These results could highlight some proteins involved in the neurologic pathogenesis of RNS.
