In some cases substrate specificity can be conferred by regula- tory subunits distinct from the proteins that possess catalytic activity. Duplication and evolutionary diversification of regulatory subunits can therefore greatly expand the functional roles of kinases or phosphatases without a parallel increase in the number of kinase- and phosphatase- encoding genes. Such diversification appears to have been particularly important in the evolution of protein phosphatase(s) 2A (PP2A), the Fig. 1. Composition of the PP2A holoenzyme.

We find that STRN3 13 and STRN4 scaffold subunits of the STRIPAK complex interact with MAP4K4 for pathway regulation in 14 medulloblastoma. Disruption of the MAP4K4-STRIPAK complex impairs growth factor-induced 15 migration and tissue invasion and stalls YAP/TAZ target gene expression and oncogenic growth. The 16 migration promoting functions of the MAP4K4-STRIPAK complex involve the activation of novel PKCs 17 and the phosphorylation of the membrane targeting S157 residue of VASP through MAP4K4. The anti- 18 proliferative effect of complex disruption is associated with reduced YAP/TAZ target gene expression 19 and results in repressed tumor growth in the brain tissue. This dichotomous functionality of the STRIPAK 20 complex in migration and proliferation control acts through MAP4K4 regulation in tumor cells and 21 provides relevant mechanistic insights into novel tumorigenic functions of the STRIPAK complex in 22 medulloblastoma.

  • Associated 16P11.2 Deletion in Drosophila Melanogaster

Here, we propose a complex interaction model for pathogenicity of the autism-associated 16p11.2 deletion, where CNV genes interact with each other in conserved pathways to modulate expression of the phenotype. Using multiple quantitative methods in Drosophila RNAi lines, we identify a range of neurodevelopmental phenotypes for knockdown of indi- vidual 16p11.2 homologs in different tissues. We test 565 pairwise knockdowns in the developing eye, and identify 24 interactions between pairs of 16p11.2 homologs and 46 interactions between 16p11.2 homologs and neurodevelopmental genes that suppress or enhance cell proliferation phenotypes compared to one-hit knockdowns. These interac- tions within cell proliferation pathways are also enriched in a human brain-specific network, providing translational relevance in humans. Our study indicates a role for pervasive genetic interactions within CNVs towards cellular and developmental phenotypes. 1 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA. 2 Bioinformatics and Genomics Program, The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA.

  • Striatin-3G Inhibits Estrogen Receptor Activity by Recruiting a Protein Phosphatase
    199 Striatin-3g inhibits estrogen receptor activity by recruiting a protein phosphatase Bailin Tan, Xinghua Long1, Harikrishna Nakshatri2, Kenneth P Nephew1 and Robert M Bigsby Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology University School of Medicine, 975 West Walnut Street (IB360), Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, USA 1Department of Medical Sciences Program, Indiana University School of Medicine, Bloomington, Indianapolis, Indiana 47405, USA 2Department of Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202, USA (Correspondence should be addressed to R M Bigsby; Email: [email protected]) Abstract A splicing variant of rat striatin-3 (rSTRN3g) was found to associate with estrogen receptor-a (ERa) in a ligand-dependent manner. In two-hybrid and pull-down analyses, estradiol induced an interaction between rSTRN3g and ERa. STRN3g protein was found in nuclear extracts from rat uterus and human cell lines. Overexpression of rSTRN3g induced a decrease in ERa transcriptional activity but had no effect on ERb activity. Immunoprecipitation analyses showed that rSTRN3g interacts with both the ERa and the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A(C)). The transrepressor action of rSTRN3g was overcome by okadaic acid, an inhibitor of PP2A(C), and by cotransfection of PP2A(C) siRNA. rSTRN3g caused dephosphorylation of ERa at serine 118 and this was abrogated by okadaic acid. ERa lacking phosphorylation sites at either serine 118 or 167 was insensitive to the corepressor action of rSTRN3g. These observations suggest that an rSTRN3g-PP2A(C) complex is recruited to agonist-activated ERa, thereby leading to its dephosphorylation and inhibiting transcription.
