Phosphoproteomic Characterization Of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Abstract Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a constitutively active, ubiquitously expressed kinase that acts as a critical regulator of many signaling pathways. These pathways, when dysregulated, have been implicated in many human diseases, including bipolar disorder (BD), cancer, and diabetes. Over 100 putative GSK-3 substrates have been reported, based on direct kinase assays or genetic and pharmacological manipulation of GSK-3, in diverse cell types. Many more have been predicted based upon on the prevalence of the GSK-3 consensus sequence. As a result, there remains an unclear picture of the complete GSK-3 phosphoproteome. We have therefore used a large-scale mass spectrometry approach to analyze global changes in phosphorylation and describe the repertoire of GSK-3 substrates in a single cell type. For our studies, we used stable isotope labeling of amino acids in culture (SILAC) to compare the phosphoproteome of wild-type mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to ESCs completely lacking Gsk3a and Gsk3b expression (Gsk3 DKO).

  • Gsk3β Mediates Muscle Pathology in Myotonic Dystrophy
    GSK3β mediates muscle pathology in myotonic dystrophy Karlie Jones, … , Nikolai A. Timchenko, Lubov T. Timchenko J Clin Invest. 2012;122(12):4461-4472. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI64081. Research Article Muscle biology Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a complex neuromuscular disease characterized by skeletal muscle wasting, weakness, and myotonia. DM1 is caused by the accumulation of CUG repeats, which alter the biological activities of RNA-binding proteins, including CUG-binding protein 1 (CUGBP1). CUGBP1 is an important skeletal muscle translational regulator that is activated by cyclin D3–dependent kinase 4 (CDK4). Here we show that mutant CUG repeats suppress Cdk4 signaling by increasing the stability and activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β). Using a mouse model of DM1 (HSALR), we found that CUG repeats in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of human skeletal actin increase active GSK3β in skeletal muscle of mice, prior to the development of skeletal muscle weakness. Inhibition of GSK3β in both DM1 cell culture and mouse models corrected cyclin D3 levels and reduced muscle weakness and myotonia in DM1 mice. Our data predict that compounds normalizing GSK3β activity might be beneficial for improvement of muscle function in patients with DM1.

  • Review of the Faculty of Medicine
    Review of the Faculty of Medicine University of Toronto 2010 Dr. Alastair Buchan, Professor of Stroke Medicine and Head of the Medical Sciences Division, University of Oxford; Dr. Richard Levin, Vice President Health Affairs and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, McGill; Dr. Joseph B. Martin, Professor of Neurobiology and Dean Emeritus of the Harvard Medical School Introduction This review is written at the request of the Provost and follows the study of extensive materials provided by the Faculty and three days of meetings on site in Toronto (see Appendix A). The reviewers are very grateful to Meg Connell for all of her assistance in arranging an extensive schedule which included meetings with many members of the community representing the University, Departmental, Research Institute, Hospital Research Institutes and Hospital CEOs, and the Deanery Team. We are also very grateful to the Provost and her team, particularly Margie Halling. After agreement with the Provost, this report summarizes our major observations and does not respond specifically to the questions posed in the terms of reference. Executive Summary The reviewers were very impressed with the accomplishments of the University of Toronto, and in particular, the Faculty of Medicine and its Dean. The intention of the University of Toronto in going forward to its Bicentennial in 2030, is to be “a leader amongst the world’s best teaching and research universities in its discovery, preservation, and sharing of knowledge through its teaching and research and its commitment to excellence and equality”. Without a doubt the Faculty of Medicine, founded in 1843 and therefore 167 years old this year, is one of the preeminent Faculties of Medicine and as a total entity, one of North America’s and indeed the world’s largest and most prestigious Academic Health Science Centres.
