Abstract

Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) isoforms are developmentally expressed in the nervous system and contain a number of functional domains. Adjacent to the first repeat of the microtubule-binding domain is an RTPPKSP motif for binding SH3 domains. To identify SH3-containing proteins that interact with MAP-2, transfections, filter overlay assays, glutathione S-transferase (GST)-mediated binding assays, co-immunoprecipitations and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed. Transfections of MAP-2a, MAP-2b, and MAP-2c constructs into COS7 cells, followed by incubation of the cell lysates with SH3-GST fusion proteins, determined that the strongest interaction was between MAP-2c and the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Fyn; however, MAP-2b and MAP-2c also bound to Grb2. Co-immunoprecipitation of Fyn and MAP-2c from human fetal homogenates confirmed the interaction in vivo. MAP-2 synthetic peptides spanning the RTPPKSP motif bound to Fyn, and the interaction was regulated by phosphorylation. Co-transfections with MAP-2c and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) demonstrated that MAP-2c is threonine/serine-phosphorylated on its RTPPKSP motif and that threonine phosphorylation abolished the MAP-2c/Fyn binding. Kinase assays and co-transfection of MAP-2c and Fyn confirmed that Fyn tyrosine kinase phosphorylates MAP-2c. Thus, the activation of signaling pathways may regulate cytoskeletal dynamics by altering the state of phosphorylation of MAP-2 by both ERK2 and Fyn kinase.
