RESUMO

Smk1 is a meiosis-specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in yeast that controls spore differentiation. It is activated by a MAPK binding protein, Ssp2, upon completion of the meiotic divisions. The activation of Smk1 by Ssp2 is positively regulated by a meiosis-specific coactivator of the anaphase promoting complex (APC/C) E3 ubiquitin ligase, Ama1. Here, we identify Isc10 as an inhibitor that links APC/CAma1 to Smk1 activation. Isc10 and Smk1 form an inhibited complex during meiosis I (MI). Ssp2 is produced later in the program, and it forms a ternary complex with Isc10 and Smk1 during MII that is poised for activation. Upon completion of MII, Isc10 is ubiquitylated and degraded in an AMA1-dependent manner, thereby triggering the activation of Smk1 by Ssp2. Mutations that caused Ssp2 to be produced before MII, or isc10Δ mutations, modestly reduced the efficiency of spore differentiation whereas spores were nearly absent in the double mutant. These findings define a pathway that couples spore differentiation to the G0-like phase of the cell cycle.

RESUMO

Smk1 is a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family member in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that controls the postmeiotic program of spore formation. Ssp2 is a meiosis-specific protein that activates Smk1 and triggers the autophosphorylation of its activation loop. A fragment of Ssp2 that is sufficient to activate Smk1 contains two segments that resemble RNA recognition motifs (RRMs). Mutations in either of these motifs eliminated Ssp2's ability to activate Smk1. In contrast, deletions and insertions within the segment linking the RRM-like motifs only partially reduced the activity of Ssp2. Moreover, when the two RRM-like motifs were expressed as separate proteins in bacteria, they activated Smk1. We also find that both motifs can be cross-linked to Smk1 and that at least one of the motifs binds near the ATP-binding pocket of the MAPK. These findings demonstrate that motifs related to RRMs can directly activate protein kinases.

RESUMO

Smk1 is a meiosis-specific MAP kinase (MAPK) in budding yeast that is required for spore formation. It is localized to prospore membranes (PSMs), the structures that engulf haploid cells during meiosis II (MII). Similar to canonically activated MAPKs, Smk1 is controlled by phosphorylation of its activation-loop threonine (T) and tyrosine (Y). However, activation loop phosphorylation occurs via a noncanonical two-step mechanism in which 1) the cyclin-dependent kinase activating kinase Cak1 phosphorylaytes T207 during MI, and 2) Smk1 autophosphorylates Y209 as MII draws to a close. Autophosphorylation of Y209 and catalytic activity for substrates require Ssp2, a meiosis-specific protein that is translationally repressed until anaphase of MII. Ama1 is a meiosis-specific targeting subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome that regulates multiple steps in meiotic development, including exit from MII. Here, we show that Ama1 activates autophosphorylation of Smk1 on Y209 by promoting formation of the Ssp2/Smk1 complex at PSMs. These findings link meiotic exit to Smk1 activation and spore wall assembly.

RESUMO

Smk1 is a meiosis-specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that couples spore morphogenesis to the completion of chromosome segregation. Similar to other MAPKs, Smk1 is controlled by phosphorylation of a threonine (T) and a tyrosine (Y) in its activation loop. However, it is not activated by a dual-specificity MAPK kinase. Instead, T207 in Smk1's activation loop is phosphorylated by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-activating kinase (Cak1), and Y209 is autophosphorylated in an intramolecular reaction that requires the meiosis-specific protein Ssp2. In this study, we show that Smk1 is catalytically inert unless it is bound by Ssp2. While Ssp2 binding activates Smk1 by a mechanism that is independent of activation loop phosphorylation, binding also triggers autophosphorylation of Y209 in Smk1, which, along with Cak1-mediated phosphorylation of T207, further activates the kinase. Autophosphorylation of Smk1 on Y209 also appears to modify the specificity of the MAPK by suppressing Y kinase and enhancing S/T kinase activity. We also found that the phosphoconsensus motif preference of Ssp2/Smk1 is more extensive than that of other characterized MAPKs. This study therefore defines a novel mechanism of MAPK activation requiring binding of an activator and also shows that MAPKs can be diversified to recognize unique phosphorylation motifs.

RESUMO

Smk1 is a meiosis-specific MAPK that controls spore wall morphogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although Smk1 is activated by phosphorylation of the threonine (T) and tyrosine (Y) in its activation loop, it is not phosphorylated by a dual-specificity MAPK kinase. Instead, the T is phosphorylated by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-activating kinase, Cak1. The Y is autophosphorylated in an intramolecular reaction that requires a meiosis-specific protein named Ssp2. The meiosis-specific CDK-like kinase, Ime2, was previously shown to positively regulate Smk1. Here we show that Ime2 activity is required to induce the translation of SSP2 mRNA at anaphase II. Ssp2 protein is then localized to the prospore membrane, the structure where spore wall assembly takes place. Next the carboxy-terminal portion of Ssp2 forms a complex with Smk1 and stimulates the autophosphorylation of its activation-loop Y residue. These findings link Ime2 to Smk1 activation through Ssp2 and define a developmentally regulated mechanism for activating MAPK at specific locations in the cell.

RESUMO

Smk1 is a meiosis-specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that controls spore morphogenesis. Similar to other MAPKs, it is controlled by dual phosphorylation of its T-X-Y activation motif. However, Smk1 is not phosphorylated by a prototypical MAPK kinase. Here, we show that the T residue in Smk1's activation motif is phosphorylated by the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-activating kinase, Cak1. The Y residue is autophosphorylated in an independent intramolecular reaction that requires the meiosis-specific protein Ssp2. Although both SMK1 and SSP2 are expressed as middle-meiosis-specific genes, Smk1 protein starts to accumulate before Ssp2. Thus, Smk1 exists in a low-activity (pT) form early in sporulation and a high-activity (pT/pY) form later in the program. Ssp2 must be present when Smk1 is being produced to activate the autophosphorylation reaction, suggesting that Ssp2 acts through a transitional intermediate form of Smk1. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for how Smk1 activity thresholds are generated. They demonstrate that intramolecular autophosphorylation of MAPKs can be regulated and suggest new mechanisms for coupling MAPK outputs to developmental programs.
