The mitotic phosphorylation cycle of the cis-Golgi matrix protein GM130

M Lowe et al. J Cell Biol. 2000.

Abstract

The cis-Golgi matrix protein GM130 is phosphorylated in mitosis on serine 25. Phosphorylation inhibits binding to p115, a vesicle-tethering protein, and has been implicated as an important step in the mitotic Golgi fragmentation process. We have generated an antibody that specifically recognizes GM130 phosphorylated on serine 25, and used this antibody to study the temporal regulation of phosphorylation in vivo. GM130 is phosphorylated in prophase as the Golgi complex starts to break down, and remains phosphorylated during further breakdown and partitioning of the Golgi fragments in metaphase and anaphase. In telophase, GM130 is dephosphorylated as the Golgi fragments start to reassemble. The timing of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation correlates with the dissociation and reassociation of p115 with Golgi membranes. GM130 phosphorylation and p115 dissociation appear specific to mitosis, since they are not induced by several drugs that trigger nonmitotic Golgi fragmentation. The phosphatase responsible for dephosphorylation of mitotic GM130 was identified as PP2A. The active species was identified as heterotrimeric phosphatase containing the Balpha regulatory subunit, suggesting a role for this isoform in the reassembly of mitotic Golgi membranes at the end of mitosis.

(A) Left panel: Rat liver Golgi membranes were incubated with interphase (I) or mitotic (M) cytosol, reisolated by centrifugation, solubilized in SDS sample buffer, and subjected to Western blotting with antibodies against phosphoserine 25 (PS25) or the NH2 terminus of GM130 (GM130). Middle panel: Interphase (I) or mitotic (M) NRK cells were lysed in buffer containing Triton X-100, and solubilized proteins analyzed by Western blotting with antibodies against phosphoserine 25 (PS25) or the NH2 terminus of GM130 (GM130). The asterisk denotes a cross-reacting protein of unknown identity found in interphase and mitotic lysates. Right panel: GM130 was immunoprecipitated (IP) from Triton X-100 solubilized interphase (I) and mitotic (M) NRK cells with a monoclonal anti-GM130 antibody before analysis by Western blotting with antibodies against phosphoserine 25 (PS25) or the NH2 terminus of GM130 (GM130). Molecular mass markers are shown in kD. (B) Mitotic Golgi membranes were analyzed by Western blotting with antibodies to phosphoserine 25 (PS25) or the NH2 terminus of GM130 (GM130) in the absence or presence of the indicated molar excess of the phosphoserine 25 (PS25pep) or unphosphorylated (nonPSpep) peptide. GM130 appears as a doublet, most likely due to proteolytic cleavage.

Dephosphorylation of GM130 by purified phosphatases. The N73pepPS25 peptide (upper panel) or mitotic Golgi membranes (lower panel) were incubated with increasing amounts of purified PP1 or PP2A before immunoblotting with antibodies to phosphoserine 25 (PS25), the NH2-terminal peptide (N73pep) or mannosidase I (Mann-1). Equivalent amounts of PP1 or PP2A were added in each case, as assayed using the control substrate phosphorylase a (data not shown). Relative phosphorylase phosphatase activities added were 1 (lanes 2 and 8), 2 (lanes 3 and 9), 4 (lanes 4 and 10), 8 (lanes 5 and 11), and 16 (lanes 6 and 12).

Isoform-specific dephosphorylation of GM130 by PP2A. (A) Dephosphorylation of GM130 by PP2A isoforms. Baculovirus recombinants were used to express PP2A subunits in various combinations in insect cells. Cells were harvested 64–72 h after infection and lysates were tested for their ability to dephosphorylate the N73pepPS25 peptide (upper panel) or mitotic GM130 on Golgi membranes (lower panel). Amounts of each lysate added were (from left to right): 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 μl. Each lysate had a similar phosphatase activity assayed using phosphorylase a as the substrate. Relative phosphorylase a phosphatase activities were 1, 1.6, 1.6, and 0.95 for none, AC, ACBα, and ACB′α lysates, respectively. Noninfected Sf9 cells (none) had a detectable level of GM130 phosphatase activity, which was not increased by expression of the AC subunits alone or in combination with the B′α subunit. In contrast, the Bα subunit significantly increased activity directed against phospho-GM130. (B) Subunit expression analyzed by Western blotting. Equivalent amounts of lysates from uninfected Sf9 cells (none) or cells infected with recombinants expressing the AC, ACBα, or ACB′α subunits of PP2A were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with antibodies specific for the catalytic subunit (C), the A subunit, or the Bα or B′α regulatory subunits.

Localization of the Bα regulatory subunit of PP2A to Golgi membranes. (A) Equal amounts (10 μg) of rat liver homogenate or purified rat liver Golgi membranes (purified 200-fold over homogenate) were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with antibodies specific for the PP2A catalytic subunit (C), PP2A Bα or B′α regulatory subunits, vimentin, or α-tubulin. (B) Purified rat liver Golgi membranes were further fractionated by flotation on a discontinuous sucrose gradient. Fractions were collected from the top, and proteins precipitated with methanol/chloroform before analysis by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with antibodies specific for mannosidase I (Mann-1), or the catalytic (C) or Bα subunits of PP2A. L, load. The positions of the 0.4–1 M sucrose (I), 1–1.2 M sucrose (II), and 1.2–1.6 M sucrose (III) interfaces are shown.
