The signal pathway by which 14-3-3ɛ inhibits cell migration induced by MAPK-activated
protein kinase 5 (MK5) was investigated in cultured HeLa cells. Both in vivo and in vitro
analyses have revealed that 14-3-3ɛ interacts with MK5. 14-3-3ɛ bound to MK5 inhibits the
phosphorylation of HSP27, a known substrate of MK5. Disturbance of actin cytoskeleton
organization by 14-3-3ɛ was shown in transfected cells transiently expressing 14-3-3ɛ as
well as established cells stably expressing 14-3-3ɛ. Moreover, overexpression of 14-3-3ɛ …
The signal pathway by which 14-3-3ɛ inhibits cell migration induced by MAPK-activated protein kinase 5 (MK5) was investigated in cultured HeLa cells. Both in vivo and in vitro analyses have revealed that 14-3-3ɛ interacts with MK5. 14-3-3ɛ bound to MK5 inhibits the phosphorylation of HSP27, a known substrate of MK5. Disturbance of actin cytoskeleton organization by 14-3-3ɛ was shown in transfected cells transiently expressing 14-3-3ɛ as well as established cells stably expressing 14-3-3ɛ. Moreover, overexpression of 14-3-3ɛ resulted in the inhibition of cell migration induced by MK5 overexpression or TNFα treatment. Our results suggest that 14-3-3ɛ bound to MK5 inhibits cell migration by inhibiting the phosphorylation of HSP27 whose phosphorylation regulates F-actin polymerization, actin cytoskeleton organization and subsequent actinfilament dynamics.
