Mammalian nuclear Dbf2-related (NDR) kinases (LATS1, LATS2, NDR1 and NDR2) play a role in cell proliferation, apoptosis and morphological changes. Mammalian sterile 20-like (MST) kinases and Mps one binder (MOB) proteins are important in the activation of NDR kinases. MOB1 is phosphorylated by MST1 and MST2 and this phosphorylation enhances the ability of MOB1 to activate NDR kinases. The phosphorylated MOB1 can be more effective as a scaffold protein to facilitate the MST-dependent phosphorylation of NDR kinases and/or as a direct activator of NDR kinases. We previously reported that Thr74 of MOB1B is phosphorylated by MST2. Thr12 and Thr35 have also been identified as phosphorylation sites. In this study, we quantified the phosphorylation of Thr74 using the phosphorylated Thr74-specific antibody. Thr74 is indeed phosphorylated by MST2, but the efficiency is low, suggesting that MOB1B can activate NDR kinases without the phosphorylation of Thr74. We also showed that the phosphorylated MOB1B activates NDR1 T444D and LATS2 T1041D, in which threonine residues phosphorylated by MST kinases are replaced with phosphorylation-mimicking aspartic acid, more efficiently than the unphosphorylated MOB1B does. This finding supports that the phosphorylation of MOB1B enhances its ability as a direct activator of NDR kinases.

Abstract Traditional syntheses of α‐aminophosphorus therapeutic targets proceed through the hydrophosphorylation of C=N or C=O bonds, thus necessitating preliminary oxidized substrates. Cross‐dehydrogenative coupling strategies can bypass this extra oxidation step by oxidizing simpler substrates in situ before phosphorylating them, but those protocols can suffer from the use of toxic stoichiometric oxidants. Photochemical strategies can access those oxidized intermediates without any harsh conditions and can use molecular oxygen as a benign and sustainable oxidant. We report herein a simple protocol using visible light, phosphinylidenes and benzylamine derivatives for the synthesis of α‐aminophosphorus products under aerobic conditions and using an iridium photosensitizer.

Analysis of conditions affecting auto-phosphorylation of human kinases during expression in bacteria
Bacterial over-expression of kinases is often associated with high levels of auto-phosphorylation resulting in heterogeneous recombinant protein preparations or sometimes in insoluble protein. Here we present expression systems for nine kinases in Escherichia coli and, for the most heavily phosphorylated, the characterisation of factors affecting auto-phosphorylation. Experiments showed that the level of auto-phosphorylation was proportional to the rate of expression. Comparison of phosphorylation states following in vitro phosphorylation with phosphorylation states following expression in E. coli showed that the non-physiological 'hyper-phosphorylation' was occurring at sites that would require local unfolding to be accessible to a kinase active site. In contrast, auto-phosphorylation on unphosphorylated kinases that had been expressed in bacteria overexpressing λ-phosphatase was only observed on distinct exposed sites. Remarkably, the Ser/Thr kinase PLK4 auto-phosphorylated on a tyrosine residue (Tyr177) located in the activation segment. The results give support to a mechanism in which auto-phosphorylation occurs before or during protein folding. In addition, the expression systems and protocols presented will be a valuable resource to the research community.

We have isolated and characterized cellular kinases which associate with the transactivation domain of c-Myc and phosphorylate Ser-62. We demonstrate that cellular Map kinases associate with c-Myc under stringent conditions and phosphorylate Ser-62. We also find that TPA stimulates the activity of the Myc-associated Map kinase to phosphorylate Ser-62. However, we do not observe an increase in Ser-62 phosphorylation in endogenous c-Myc after TPA treatment of cells. Since the regulation of the c-Myc-associated Map kinases does not correlate with the in vivo regulation of Ser-62 phosphorylation in c-Myc, we conclude that Map kinases are not the in vivo kinases for Ser-62. Although Ser-62 phosphorylation was not affected by TPA, phosphorylation at a different serine residue was significantly upregulated by TPA. J. Cell.

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) phosphorylate target proteins in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, and a strong correlation exists between the subcellular localization of MAPK and resulting cellular responses. It was thought that MAPK phosphorylation was always followed by rapid nuclear translocation. However, we and others have found that MAPK phosphorylation is not always sufficient for nuclear translocation in vivo. In the developing Drosophila wing, MAPK-mediated signaling is required both for patterning and for cell proliferation, although the mechanism of this differential control is not fully understood. Here, we show that phosphorylated MAPK (pMAPK) is held in the cytoplasm in differentiating larval and pupal wing vein cells, and we show that this cytoplasmic hold is required for vein cell fate. At the same time, we show that MAPK does move into the nucleus of other wing cells where it promotes cell proliferation. We propose a novel Ras pathway bifurcation in Drosophila and our results suggest a mechanism by which MAPK phosphorylation can signal two different cellular outcomes (differentiation versus proliferation) based on the subcellular localization of MAPK.

The MAP kinase Erk5 plays important roles in cellular proliferation, and has recently been implicated in the regulation of mitosis. The classic pathway of Erk5 activation involves dual phosphorylation at its TEY microdomain by the upstream regulating kinase MEK5. Here we describe a second pathway that controls Erk5 phosphorylation. This pathway is activated in mitotic cells and involves kinase activities distinct from MEK5. Studies aimed at identifying these kinases suggested that CDK1 activity is required to sustain Erk5 phosphorylation in mitosis, as treatment with RO3306, a CDK1 inhibitor, reversed mitotic phosphorylation of Erk5. Moreover, CDK1 co-precipitated with Erk5 in mitotic cells. The mitotic phosphorylation of Erk5 occurs at multiple sites located at its unique C-terminal region, within an Erk5 subdomain that has formerly been implicated in the control of the subcellular location of Erk5. Furthermore, molecular studies indicated that phosphorylation at these sites may participate in the control of the transit of Erk5 between the cytosol and the nucleus, in addition to regulating its transcriptional activity. Together, our results demonstrate the existence of a second Erk5 phosphorylation pathway, that is activated in mitosis, and that may participate in the regulation of Erk5 functions.
