Threonine phosphorylation of the MMAC1/PTEN PDZ binding domain both inhibits and stimulates PDZ binding.
Two-hybrid searches with the tumor suppressor MMAC1/PTEN isolated the proteins hDLG and hMAST205. Further two-hybrid analysis and microtiter plate binding assays localized the sites of interaction to PDZ domains from hDLG and hMAST205 and the PDZ binding domain at the COOH terminus of MMAC1/PTEN. A synthetic peptide derived from the MMAC1/PTEN PDZ binding domain (MMAC1/PTEN-PDZBD) was used to coprecipitate proteins from A431 human cell lysate. The recovered proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and immobilized on a nitrocellulose membrane. Treatment of this membrane with an anti-hDLG antibody identified a Mr 140,000 band, consistent with the size of hDLG. Treatment of this membrane with the MMAC1/PTEN-PDZBD peptide identified a single prominent band of slightly larger than Mr 200,000 (Mr 200,000 kDa). Threonine phosphorylation of the MMAC1/ PTEN-PDZBD peptide inhibited both microtiter plate binding to the hDLG and hMAST205 PDZ domains and coprecipitation of the Mr 140,000 and > 200,000 proteins, but promoted coprecipitation of proteins of approximately Mr 90,000 and Mr 120,000 from A431 cell lysate. This result suggests phosphorylation of the MMAC1/PTEN PDZ binding domain can both inhibit and promote PDZ interactions.[1]References
