The AMPK-related kinases NUAK1 and NUAK2 are activated by the tumor suppressor LKB1. We found that NUAK1 interacts with several myosin phosphatases, including the myosin phosphatase targeting-1 (MYPT1)-protein phosphatase-1beta (PP1beta) complex, through conserved Gly-Ile-Leu-Lys motifs that are direct binding sites for PP1beta. Phosphorylation of Ser(445), Ser(472), and Ser(910) of MYPT1 by NUAK1 promoted the interaction of MYPT1 with 14-3-3 adaptor proteins, thereby suppressing phosphatase activity. Cell detachment induced phosphorylation of endogenous MYPT1 by NUAK1, resulting in 14-3-3 binding to MYPT1 and enhanced phosphorylation of myosin light chain-2. Inhibition of the LKB1-NUAK1 pathway impaired cell detachment. Our data indicate that NUAK1 controls cell adhesion and functions as a regulator of myosin phosphatase complexes. Thus, LKB1 can influence the phosphorylation of targets not only through the AMPK family of kinases but also by controlling phosphatase complexes.
AMPK 相关激酶 NUAK1 和 NUAK2 被肿瘤抑制因子 LKB1 激活。我们发现 NUAK1 通过保守的 Gly-Ile-Leu-Lys 基序与几种肌球蛋白磷酸酶相互作用,包括肌球蛋白磷酸酶靶向 1(MYPT1)-蛋白磷酸酶 1β(PP1β)复合物,这些基序是 PP1β 的直接结合位点。NUAK1 对 MYPT1 的 Ser(445)、Ser(472)和 Ser(910)的磷酸化促进了 MYPT1 与 14-3-3 衔接蛋白的相互作用,从而抑制了磷酸酶活性。细胞脱离诱导内源性 MYPT1 被 NUAK1 磷酸化,导致 14-3-3 与 MYPT1 结合并增强肌球蛋白轻链-2 的磷酸化。抑制 LKB1-NUAK1 途径会损害细胞脱离。我们的数据表明,NUAK1 控制细胞黏附并作为肌球蛋白磷酸酶复合物的调节剂发挥作用。因此,LKB1 不仅可以通过 AMPK 家族激酶影响靶标的磷酸化,还可以通过控制磷酸酶复合物来影响靶标的磷酸化。
