Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) bearing the B'γ (=B'α/B56γ1/PR61γ) subunit is recruited to dephosphorylation targets by cyclin G. We demonstrate here that cyclin G-associated kinase (GAK), a component of the GAK/B'γ/cyclin G complex, directly phosphorylates the B'γ-Thr104 residue and regulates PP2A activity. Indeed, an anti-B'γ-pT104 antibody detected immunofluorescence signals at the chromosome and centrosome during mitosis; these signals were reduced by siRNA-mediated GAK knockdown. After DNA damage by γ-irradiation, the chromosome signals formed foci that colocalized with a DNA double-strand break (DSB) marker H2AX-pS139 (γH2AX) and CHK2-pT68. Moreover, B'γ-pT104 enhanced PP2A holoenzyme assembly and PP2A activity, as shown by the results of an in vitro phosphatase assay. These results suggest a novel role for GAK as a regulator of dephosphorylation events under the control of the PP2A B'γ subunit.
蛋白磷酸酶 2A(PP2A)结合 B'γ(=B'α/B56γ1/PR61γ)亚基,通过细胞周期蛋白 G 被募集到去磷酸化靶标。我们在这里证明,细胞周期蛋白 G 相关激酶(GAK),GAK/B'γ/细胞周期蛋白 G 复合物的一个组成部分,直接磷酸化 B'γ-Thr104 残基并调节 PP2A 活性。事实上,一种抗 B'γ-pT104 抗体在有丝分裂过程中检测到染色体和中心体的免疫荧光信号;这些信号通过 siRNA 介导的 GAK 敲低而减少。在 γ 射线照射引起 DNA 损伤后,染色体信号形成焦点,与 DNA 双链断裂(DSB)标记物 H2AX-pS139(γH2AX)和 CHK2-pT68 共定位。此外,B'γ-pT104 增强了 PP2A 全酶组装和 PP2A 活性,如体外磷酸酶测定结果所示。这些结果表明 GAK 作为受 PP2A B'γ 亚基控制的去磷酸化事件的调节剂具有新的作用。
