Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) increases microtubule (MT) growth lifetimes, resulting in extension of a nocodazole-sensitive population of MTs in Aplysia growth cones. We examined whether the two phorbol ester-activated PKCs inAplysia, the Ca2+-activated PKC Apl I and the Ca2+-independent PKC Apl II, are associated with these MTs. Phorbol esters translocated PKC to the Triton X-100-insoluble fraction, and a significant portion of this translocated pool was sensitive to low concentrations of nocodazole. Low doses of nocodazole had no effect on the amount of PKC in the Triton X-100-insoluble fraction in the absence of phorbol esters, whereas higher doses of nocodazole reduced basal levels of PKC Apl II. The F-actin cytoskeletal disrupter, latrunculin A, removed both PKCs from the Triton X-100-insoluble fraction in both control and phorbol ester-treated nervous systems. PKC Apl II also directly interacted with purified MTs. In detergent-extracted cells, both PKCs immunolocalized predominantly with MTs. PKCs were associated with newly formed MTs invading the actin-rich peripheral growth cone domain after PKC activation. Our results are consistent with a central role for PKCs in regulating MT extension.

A large amount of research has been directed at how protein kinase C (PKC) 1The abbreviations used are: PKC, protein kinase C; MT, microtubule; P domain, peripheral domain; PIPES, piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid); MES, 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid; PDBu, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate; CSB, cytoskeletal stabilization buffer. 1The abbreviations used are: PKC, protein kinase C; MT, microtubule; P domain, peripheral domain; PIPES, piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid); MES, 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid; PDBu, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate; CSB, cytoskeletal stabilization buffer. regulates cytoskeletal plasticity (1Keenan C. Kelleher D. Cell. Signal. 1998; 10: 225-232Google Scholar). Most of this research has focused on the actin cytoskeleton because PKCs bind directly to actin filaments (2Blobe G.C. Stribling D.S. Fabbro D. Stabel S. Hannun Y.A. J. Biol. Chem. 1996; 271: 15823-15830Google Scholar, 3Nakhost A. Forscher P. Sossin W.S. J. Neurochem. 1998; 71: 1221-1231Google Scholar, 4Prekeris R. Mayhew M.W. Cooper J.B. Terrian D.M. J. Cell Biol. 1996; 132: 77-90Google Scholar) and a number of important actin regulatory proteins have been shown to be controlled by PKC phosphorylation (5Matsuoka Y., Li, X. Bennett V. J. Cell Biol. 1998; 142: 485-497Google Scholar, 6Allen L.A. Aderem A. EMBO J. 1995; 14: 1109-1120Google Scholar, 7Ng T. Parsons M. Hughes W.E. Monypenny J. Zicha D. Gautreau A. Arpin M. Gschmeissner S. Verveer P.J. Bastiaens P.I. Parker P.J. EMBO J. 2001; 20: 2723-2741Google Scholar). In contrast, roles for PKC in regulating microtubule (MT) function have not been extensively characterized. We recently reported an interesting and potentially important new role for PKC in regulating MT dynamics inAplysia growth cones (8Kabir N. Schaefer A.W. Nkhost A. Sossin W.S. Forscher P. J. Cell Biol. 2001; 152: 1033-1043Google Scholar). The growth cone is divided into three domains, a central domain rich in MTs, a transition zone, and a peripheral domain (P domain) rich in filamentous actin. Axonal MTs have a (+)-end distal orientation and undergo bouts of (+)-end assembly, which tend to drive them into the P domain against retrograde F-actin flow. The density of MTs in the P domain appears to be maintained at relatively low levels because they are continually transported rearward via coupling to retrograde F-actin flow (9Waterman-Storer C.M. Salmon E.D. J. Cell Biol. 1997; 139: 417-434Google Scholar, 10Forscher P. Smith S.J. J. Cell Biol. 1988; 107: 1505-1516Google Scholar). We recently reported that, after PKC activation, MTs tend to advance into the P domain because their average MT growth rates increase to exceed retrograde F-actin flow rates (8Kabir N. Schaefer A.W. Nkhost A. Sossin W.S. Forscher P. J. Cell Biol. 2001; 152: 1033-1043Google Scholar). The extension of MTs into the P domain may be important in axon extension, guidance, and/or delivery of important molecules to the plasma membrane (11Strong J.A. Fox A.P. Tsien R.W. Kaczmarek L.K. Nature. 1987; 325: 714-717Google Scholar, 12Knox R.J. Quattrocki E.A. Connor J.A. Kaczmarek L.K. Neuron. 1992; 8: 883-889Google Scholar, 13Rosner H. Fischer H. Neurosci. Lett. 1996; 219: 175-178Google Scholar). Examination of PKC action is simplified in the Aplysianervous system, as there are only two phorbol ester-activated PKCs, the Ca2+-activated PKC Apl I (homologous to PKCα, PKCβ, and PKCγ in vertebrates) and the Ca2+-independent PKC Apl II (homologous to PKCε and PKCη in vertebrates) (14Kruger K.E. Sossin W.S. Sacktor T.C. Bergold P.J. Beushausen S. Schwartz J.H. J. Neurosci. 1991; 11: 2303-2313Google Scholar, 15Sossin W.S. Diaz A.R. Schwartz J.H. J. Biol. Chem. 1993; 268: 5763-5768Google Scholar). Both isoforms of PKC co-assemble with actin in vitro, and this is enhanced by phorbol esters and by inhibitors of PKC phosphorylation (3Nakhost A. Forscher P. Sossin W.S. J. Neurochem. 1998; 71: 1221-1231Google Scholar). Using immunocytochemistry, PKC Apl II was localized to actin cables in the growth cone (3Nakhost A. Forscher P. Sossin W.S. J. Neurochem. 1998; 71: 1221-1231Google Scholar). Both PKCs also translocated to a Triton X-100-insoluble fraction by phorbol esters, and this was initially assumed to represent the actin cytoskeleton (3Nakhost A. Forscher P. Sossin W.S. J. Neurochem. 1998; 71: 1221-1231Google Scholar). However, given our recent report of PKC regulation of MT dynamics, we have further investigated the cytoskeletal pools with which PKC associates in neurons. We have also examined the distribution of PKC on MTs before and after PKC activation, using different cell extraction protocols that retain native associations of PKC with the cytoskeleton. We show that, upon activation by phorbol esters, both isoforms of PKC rapidly translocate onto newly assembled MTs, suggesting a direct role for PKC in regulating distal MT advance in neuronal growth cones. A. californica (50–200 g) were purchased from Marine Specimens Unlimited (Pacific Palisades, CA) or the Aplysia resource facility at the University of Miami and kept in an aquarium for at least 3 days before experimentation. The animals were first placed in a bath of isotonic MgCl2/artificial seawater (1:1, v/v) and then anesthetized by injection of isotonic MgCl2. The ganglia were dissected from the animals and trimmed of connective tissue in ice-cold dissecting medium (230 mm NaCl, 220 mmMgCl2, 1 mm CaCl2, 10 mm KCl, 10 mm HEPES, 0.2× low methionine amino acid mixture, 0.2× minimal essential medium nonessential amino acids (Invitrogen), 0.5× minimal essential medium vitamin solution, 0.1 mm glutamine, and 0.1% glucose, final pH 7.8). PKC was obtained for these experiments from the cytosol of Sf9 cells infected with baculovirus encoding PKC Apl I or Apl II as described (3Nakhost A. Forscher P. Sossin W.S. J. Neurochem. 1998; 71: 1221-1231Google Scholar). Purified bovine brain tubulin (10 mg/ml; ICN Biomedicals, Inc., Aurora, OH) was stored in 80 mm PIPES (sesquisodium salt), 1 mm EGTA, 1 mm MgCl2, 1 mm GTP, and 10% glycerol, pH 6.8, at −70 °C. Varying amounts of tubulin from the above stock solution were preincubated for 30 min at 37 °C with an equal volume of reassembly buffer (0.1 M MES, 1 mm EGTA, and 0.5 mm MgCl2) containing 1 mmGTP and 10% glycerol (RGG buffer) plus 10 μg/ml Taxol (Sigma) for some experiments. These samples were then further diluted in RGG buffer to obtain the desired concentration of microtubules. Finally, the samples were incubated in 1 μm 4β-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu; the PKC activator) or 1 μm4α-PDBu (the inactive analog of the phorbol ester) in RGG buffer with 10 μl of Sf9 cell cytosolic fraction expressing PKC Apl I or Apl II for 30 min at room temperature. The samples were centrifuged at 94,000 × g for 30 min at 25 °C. Supernatants were removed and added to 20 μl of sample buffer (2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 100 mm dithiothreitol, 60 mm Tris, pH 6.8, and 0.001% bromphenol blue). Following resuspension of the pellets, samples were loaded onto a 9% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. In Aplysia, most ganglia are symmetrically paired on either side of the animal. In all experiments, the ganglion on one side of the animal was used as a control for the corresponding one on the other side. The ganglia were desheathed to facilitate penetration of phorbol ester and transferred to resting medium (the same as dissecting medium, but with 460 mm NaCl, 11 mm CaCl2, and 55 mm MgCl2). The ganglia were incubated in either drug solution (300 nm nocodazole (Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR) and/or 5 μm latrunculin A (Molecular Probes, Inc.)) or vehicle in resting medium containing 10 mmglutamine and 0.1% glucose. Subsequently, phorbol esters were added to both samples to a final concentration of 1 μm 4β-PDBu to examine PKC translocation or 1 μm 4α-PDBu (inactive isomer) to examine basal PKC levels. Ganglia were incubated for 1 h at 15 °C; this leads to maximum translocation of PKC (16Sossin W.S. Schwartz J.H. Mol. Brain Res. 1994; 24: 210-218Google Scholar). The ganglia were then washed twice and homogenized in 120 μl of cold homogenization buffer (50 mm Tris-HCl (pH 10 mm MgCl2, 1 mm EGTA, 5 mm 20 μg/ml 5 and 0.1 mm The samples were centrifuged at °C for 3 min at × g to A sample (10 from was removed for of protein The were centrifuged at × 30 Supernatants were a sample was for of the protein and the 80 μl was added to 20 μl of sample buffer. were in 80 μl of Triton in homogenization buffer.
