Calcium regulation of GM-CSF by calmodulin-dependent kinase II phosphorylation of Ets1.

چکیده
The multipotent cytokine granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is involved in particular in the physiological response to infection and in inflammatory responses. GM-CSF is produced by many cell types, including T lymphocytes responding to T-cell receptor activation and mantle zone B lymphocytes. B-cell receptor and T-cell receptor activation generates two major signals: an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and a protein kinase cascade. Previous studies have shown that the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase calcineurin mediates stimulation of GM-CSF transcription in response to Ca(2+). In this study, we show that Ca(2+) signaling also regulates GM-CSF transcription negatively through Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMK II) phosphorylation of serines in the autoinhibitory domain for DNA binding of the transcription factor Ets1. Wild-type Ets1 negatively affects GM-CSF transcription on Ca(2+) stimulation in the presence of cyclosporin A, which inhibits calcineurin. Conversely, Ets1 with mutated CaMK II target serines showed an increase in transactivation of the GM-CSF promoter/enhancer. Moreover, constitutively active CaMK II inhibited transactivation of GM-CSF by wild-type Ets1 but not by Ets1 with mutated CaMK II sites. Mutation of CaMK II target serines in Ets1 also relieves inhibition of cooperative transactivation of GM-CSF with the Runx1/AML1 transcription factor. In addition, the Ca(2+)-dependent phosphorylation of Ets1 reduces the binding of Ets1 to the GM-CSF promoter in vivo.

متن کاملActivation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II following bovine rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 expression
Objective(s): The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is responsible for the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration through a phospholipase C-dependent and phospholipase C-independent pathways in infected cells. It is shown that increasing of intracellular calcium concentration in rotavirus infected cells is associated with the activation of some members of protein kinases family su...
متن کاملRegulation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activation by intramolecular and intermolecular interactions.
As its name implies, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is calcium dependent. In its basal state, the activity of CaMKII is extremely low. Regulation of intracellular calcium levels allows the neuron to link activity with phosphorylation by CaMKII. This review will briefly summarize our current understanding of the intramolecular mechanisms of activity regulation and their ...
متن کاملGene Expression Profile of Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase IIα in the Rat Hippocampus during Morphine Withdrawal
Introduction: Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is highly expressed in the hippocampus, which has a pivotal role in reward-related memories and morphine dependence. Methods: In the present study, morphine tolerance was induced in male Wistar rats by 7 days repeated morphine injections once daily, and then gene expression profile of α-isoform of CaMKII (CaMKIIα) in the hipp...
متن کاملCell cycle regulation of myosin-V by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.
Organelle transport by myosin-V is down-regulated during mitosis, presumably by myosin-V phosphorylation. We used mass spectrometry phosphopeptide mapping to show that the tail of myosin-V was phosphorylated in mitotic Xenopus egg extract on a single serine residue localized in the carboxyl-terminal organelle-binding domain. Phosphorylation resulted in the release of the motor from the organell...
