| Abstract | MAP2 is a critical cytoskeletal regulator in neurons. The phosphorylation of MAP2 (MAP2-P) is well known to regulate core functions of MAP2, including microtubule (MT)/actin binding and facilitation of tubulin polymerization. However, site-specific studies of MAP2-P function in regions outside of the MT-binding domain (MTBD) are lacking. We previously identified a set of MAP2 phosphopeptides which are differentially expressed and predominantly increased in the cortex of individuals with schizophrenia relative to nonpsychiatric comparison subjects. The phosphopeptides originated not from the MTBD, but from the flanking proline-rich and C-terminal domains of MAP2. We sought to understand the contribution of MAP2-P at these sites on MAP2 function. To this end, we isolated a series of phosphomimetic MAP2C constructs and subjected them to cell-free tubulin polymerization, MT-binding, actin-binding, and actin polymerization assays. A subset of MAP2-P events significantly impaired these functions, with the two domains displaying different patterns of MAP2 regulation: proline-rich domain mutants T293E and T300E impaired MT assembly and actin-binding affinity but did not affect MT-binding, while C-terminal domain mutants S426E and S439D impaired all three functions. S443D also impaired MT assembly with minimal effects on MT- or actin-binding. Using heterologous cells, we also found that S426E but not T293E had a lower capability for process formation than the wild-type protein. These findings demonstrate the functional utility of MAP2-P in the proline-rich and C-terminal domains and point to distinct, domain-dependent regulations of MAP2 function, which can go on to affect cellular morphology. |
