Rynditch State Key Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, NAS of Ukraine 150, Akademika Zabolotnoho Str., Kyiv, Ukraine, 03680 dmytromorderer@gmail.com ITSN1 is an endocytic scaffold protein with a prominent function in synaptic transmission. It is known that Ca2+ signaling is crucial for the regulation of synaptic proteins functioning. Aim. Checking the possibility of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of ITSN1. Methods. Affinity chromatography, in vitro kinase reaction, Western blotting, gel staining with fluorescent stains. Results. We show that the fraction of calmodu- lin-binding proteins is able to phosphorylate the recombinant fragments encoding the coiled-coil region and the SH3 domain-containing region of ITSN1 in the presence of Ca2+ ions and calmodulin. Conclusions. The coiled- coil region and the SH3 domain-containing region of ITSN1 undergo Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phospho- rylation in vitro, suggesting a possible regulation of ITSN1 by Ca signaling. Keywords: ITSN1, phosphorylation, calmodulin, Ca2+ signaling. Introduction. ITSN1 is a scaffold protein involved in endocytosis and signal transduction. This protein pos- sesses several domains that act as platforms for binding molecular partners (Fig. 1). To date ITSN1 has been shown to participate in numerous interactions with plenty of proteins [1–3]. The number of its known bin- ding partners is much higher than the quantity of its modules for binding. Thus, it is reasonable to suggest that some regulatory mechanisms should exist in order to determine the sets of ITSN1-interacting partners in particular physiological contexts. One of such mechanisms can be provided by the posttranslational modifications (PTM) which may alter binding properties of ITSN1 and thus adjust its func- tion to current requirements. Phosphorylation is the most common and most studied type of PTM to date. The phosphorylation of ITSN1 was shown previously by large-scale mass spectrometry studies [4]. Moreover, recently the tyrosine phosphorylation of ITSN1 pro- moted by expression of LMP2A protein of Epstein-Barr virus has been reported [5]. However, neither the phy- siological background nor functional consequences of these phosphorylation events are known. ITSN1 is an important player in synaptic vesicle cyc- ling [6]. It is widely accepted that the majority of mole- cular events associated with the synaptic vesicle traffic- king are triggered by changes in Ca2+ concentration and subsequent activation of the Ca2+-dependent proteins, particularly kinases and phosphatases [7]. In this work we tested the hypothesis that ITSN1 may undergo the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. We report that in in vitro conditions at least two structural compo- nents of ITSN1, namely the coiled-coil region and the SH3 domain-containing region, can be phosphorylated in the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent manner. Materials and methods. Expression constructs and antibodies. GST-SH3A-E plasmid was described pre- viously [5]. GST-CCR was obtained by cloning cDNA fragment encoding the coiled-coil region of ITSN1 (aa 323–726, accession number Q15811 in UniProtKB) in ISSN 0233–7657. Biopolymers and Cell. 2014. Vol. 30. N 1.

The mouse monoclonal anti-STOP antibodies (MAB5524) and the se- condary horseradish peroxidase-labeled (HRP) goat anti- mouse antibodies were purchased from «Millipore» (USA) and «Promega» (USA), respectively. Isolation of calmodulin-binding proteins. Mouse brains were homogenized in MEM buffer (100 mM MOPS, pH 6.75, 400 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 2 mM DTT and complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail («Roche», France)) and centrifuged for 20 min at 12,000 g at 4 °C. Supernatant was suppli- ed by CaCl2 to the final concentration of 2 mM and loa- ded to the column filled by calmodulin-agarose («Sig- ma-Aldrich», USA). After washing with the same buf- fer, bound proteins were eluted from the column by MEM buffer, which did not contain CaCl2. In vitro kinase reaction. Isolated calmodulin-bin- ding proteins were dialyzed against kinase buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM DTT) using Spectra/Por 1 Dialysis Membrane («Spectrum La- boratories Inc.», USA). Recombinant GST and GST-fu- sed proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and purified on glutathione sepharose 4B beads («GE Healthcare») according to manufacturer’s in- structions. After purification, proteins bound on sepha- rose beads were washed in kinase buffer and supplied by dialyzed calmodulin-binding protein fraction to the final volume of 50 µl in each reaction. All the reactions contained 0.4 mM EGTA and 0.5 µM microcystine. Additionally, some of the samples contained 100 µM ATP, 3 µM calmodulin, 2 mM CaCl2 and 2 mM EGTA. Reactions were performed at 30 °C for 30 min and stopped by adding equal volume of Laemmli sample buffer (150 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 2.5 % glycerol, 10 % SDS, 3 % b-mercaptoethanol and 0.5 % bromophenol blue). Then the samples were boiled, resolved by SDS-PAGE and either transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane for Western-blot analysis, or subjected to staining with Pro-Q Diamond or SYPRO Ruby protein stains («Molecular Probes», USA) according to manu- facturer’s instructions. Stained gels were analyzed on PharosFX Molecular Imager («BioRad», USA), images of Western-blots were acquired on ChemiDocTM XRS+ system («BioRad»). Results and discussion. In order to examine the pos- sibility of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent ITSN1 phospho- rylation we purified calmodulin-dependent kinases along with other calmodulin-binding proteins from the mou- se brain protein lysate by affinity chromatography using calmodulin-agarose. The efficiency of purification was checked by protein staining with SYPRO Ruby stain and by Western blotting of calmodulin-binding protein STOP (stable tubule-only polypeptide) (Fig. 2, A). The obtained purified proteins were used as a source of the kinase activity for in vitro kinase assay with the GST- fused coiled-coil region (CCR) and the SH3-domain- containing fragment (SH3A-E) of ITSN1. Addition of Ca2+ ions and calmodulin to the reaction resulted in the phosphorylation of both GST-fused CCR and SH3A-E proteins visualized by Pro-Q Diamond Phosphoprotein Gel Stain (Fig. 2, B). No phosphorylation was observed without Ca and calmodulin. GST alone was equally stai- ned in all the reactions, including a negative control, which indicates the absence of phosphorylation. Uni- formity of protein loading was controlled by post-stai- ning the gels with SYPRO Ruby (data not shown). Our results for the first time demonstrate the Ca2+/ calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of ITSN1, rai- sing the question of its regulation by Ca2+ signaling. It has been shown previously that ITSN1 undergoes acti- vity dependent shuttling between active and periactive zones in presynaptic termini [8, 9], but the way of con- version of electrical stimulation to such molecular event remains unknown. Taking into account the crucial role of Ca2+ in synaptic activity, the Ca2+/ calmodulin phosphorylation of ITSN1 may occur in response to synaptic stimulation and result in alteration of its interaction profile which may lead to the changes in its functioning. Furthermore, ITSN1 was shown to participate in dendritic spine development [10] that can also be regulated by Ca2+ signaling since the Ca2+/ calmodulin-dependent kinases are known to be the important players in neuronal de velopment and synaptic plasticity [11].
