Our laboratory has conducted multiple functional proteomic analyses to characterize the components of protein kinase C (PKC)epsilon cardioprotective signaling complexes and found that activation of PKCepsilon induces dynamic modulation of these complexes. In addition, it is known that signal transduction within a complex involves the formation of modules, one of which has been shown to include PKCepsilon and Src tyrosine kinase in the rabbit heart. However, the cellular mechanisms that define the assembly of PKCepsilon modules remain largely unknown. To address this issue, the interactions between PKCepsilon and Src were studied. We used recombinant proteins of wild-type PKCepsilon (PKCepsilon -WT) and open conformation mutants of the kinase (PKCepsilon -AE5 and PKCepsilon -AN59), the regulatory and catalytic domains of PKCepsilon , along with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins of Src (GST-Src) and two domains of Src (GST-SH2 and GST-SH3). GST pulldown assays demonstrated that Src and PKCepsilon are binding partners and that the interaction between PKCepsilon and Src appears to involve multiple sites. This finding was supported for endogenous PKCepsilon and Src in the murine heart using immunofluorescence-based confocal microscopy and coimmunoprecipitation. Furthermore, PKCepsilon -WT and GST-Src interactions were significantly enhanced in the presence of phosphatidyl-L-serine, an activator of PKC, indicating that Src favors interaction with activated PKCepsilon . This finding was confirmed when the PKCepsilon -WT was replaced with PKCepsilon -AE5 or PKCepsilon -AN59, demonstrating that the conformation of PKCepsilon is a critical determinant of its interactions with Src. Together, these results illustrate that formation of a signaling module between PKCepsilon and Src involves specific domains within the two molecules and is governed by the molecular conformation of PKCepsilon .

MOUNTING EVIDENCE SUPPORTS the notion that the assembly of multiprotein signaling complexes is a means by which the cell accomplishes signal transduction (4, 8, 20). The exact manner in which a complex of proteins might be regulated to confer distinct cellular responses (and ultimately organ phenotypes, such as cardioprotection) remains unknown. One theory provides that signaling modules may be assembled within the complexes and that these modules may in turn direct subcellular tasks (24, 25). In an effort to understand, on a molecular level, the mechanisms that influence the formation of modules, the present study characterized the module containing protein kinase C (PKC)epsilon and Src.

The multifarious role of PKCepsilon in cellular signaling is well established (Refs. 1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 14-16, 19-21, 22a, 23, and 26). It has been shown to be activated by a host of stimuli and is known to participate in protection against ischemic damage in numerous organs, especially the heart (5, 19, 20). During cardioprotection, different members of the PKCepsilon complex exhibit altered levels of association with the complex and have been shown to undergo posttranslational modification within this complex (19). Despite this, the principal molecular mechanisms contributing to the assembly of the PKCepsilon complex have never been investigated. In the cytosol, it is known that PKCepsilon resides in a closed conformation, which is maintained by occupation of its active site by a pseudosubstrate domain (14, 15). Upon activation and translocation, the pseudosubstrate domain is released, and PKCepsilon assumes an active and open conformation (14, 15). Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that the molecular conformation of PKCepsilon plays a key role in cardioprotective PKCepsilon module assembly. Previous studies by our laboratory and others (Refs. 1, 21, 22a, and 25) have indicated that PKC isoforms and Src family members may interact to perform signaling tasks, and activation of PKCepsilon results in enhanced activity of tyrosine kinases in the protection against ischemic injury (Refs. 6, 7, 21, 22a, 23, and 25). Therefore, we examined the PKCepsilon -Src module in the present study. With the use of pharmacological stimulation, site-directed mutagenesis, in vitro affinity assays, coimmunoprecipitation, and confocal microscopy, the present investigation demonstrates that the molecular conformation of PKCepsilon dramatically alters its interaction with Src tyrosine kinase and serves as a major regulatory index of the association of PKCepsilon with Src.

Recombinant proteins and reagents. Two mutants of PKCepsilon were used in the present study, both of which render the kinase in an open conformation (PKCepsilon -AE5 and PKCepsilon -AN59). The cDNAs of wild-type Src and the SH2 and SH3 domains of Src were cloned into the pAcGHLT vector, expressed in the baculovirus system, and purified to generate glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins (BD PharMingen). Cold or [35S]Met-labeled recombinant proteins of PKCepsilon -WT, PKCepsilon -AE5, PKCepsilon -AN59, and the catalytic (PKCepsilon -CHA) and regulatory (PKCepsilon -RHA) domains of PKCepsilon were also made via in vitro transcription and translation using the TNT Quick-Coupled rabbit reticulocyte lysate system (Promega). PKCepsilon and GST-Src were verified to retain their kinase activity (data not shown). The lipid sources were as follows: phosphatidyl-L-serine (PS; BioChemika) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Sigma).

Assessing protein-protein interactions via GST-based affinity pulldown assays. GST recombinant protein-based affinity pulldown assays were performed as previously reported (19). Briefly, GST recombinant proteins were immobilized on GST beads, mixed with either recombinant proteins of interest or cardiac tissue homogenates, and incubated in binding buffer [0.5% Triton X-100, 20 mM Tris · HCl (pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate, and 1× proteinase cocktail (Roche)]. The GST-protein pellets were washed, resolved by SDS-PAGE, and analyzed via immunoblotting with antibodies against the corresponding proteins or via autoradiography. To determine nonspecific binding, parallel reactions were conducted using equal molar amounts of GST-null proteins in place of the tested GST fusion proteins.

Coimmunoprecipitations. PKCepsilon complexes were isolated from the hearts of PKCepsilon -cardioprotected mice and nontransgenic controls as described (19). Immunoblotting for Src was carried out using antibodies from Santa Cruz. Coimmunoprecipitation for Src was done to assess interactions with PKCepsilon -CHA and PKCepsilon -RHA as previously described (17, 19).

Immunofluorescence-based confocal microscopy. Sections of mouse left ventricular tissue were immunostained as previously described (9, 11). Briefly, hearts were excised, rinsed in PBS, fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin, dehydrated in alcohol, embedded in paraffin, sectioned at a thickness of 6 µm, and mounted on gelatin-coated slides. The sections were blocked in PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100, 7% goat serum, and 5% nonfat dry milk for 10 min at 37°C and then again with mouse IgG Blocking Reagent (FMK-2201, Vector Laboratories) for an additional 1 h at RT. Antibody dilutions were as follows: PKCepsilon , 1:100 (BD Transduction Laboratories) overnight at 4°C; and Src, 1:100 (Santa Cruz and Biosource) for 2 h at 37°C. Sections were washed and incubated with secondary antibodies (TRITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit and anti-mouse IgG antibodies at 1:200 dilution) for 1 h at 37°C. Negative controls were performed by omission of primary antibodies. Optical sections were obtained with a Zeiss LSM510 inverted confocal scanning laser microscope equipped with Argon/HeNe1 lasers with excitation wavelengths appropriate for single channel scanning in the individual tracks, FITC/TRITC, respectively. All experiments were performed in triplicate, and all images were recorded within 24 h of each other and analyzed with Adobe PhotoShop 5.5 software.

Src favors interaction with active PKCepsilon . The role of molecular conformation in the interaction of PKCepsilon with Src tyrosine kinase was first investigated by using the lipid PS to activate PKCepsilon -WT. As shown in Fig. 1A, the interaction of PKCepsilon with Src was enhanced when PKCepsilon was activated with PS, whereas the addition of PMA did not appear to increase the binding between these two molecules relative to that observed in the absence of lipid activators. Furthermore, the addition of PS and PMA did not appear to induce any synergistic increase in association between Src and PKCepsilon beyond that observed in the presence of PS alone (Fig. 1A).

Fig. 1.   Effect of molecular conformation on module assembly. A: recombinant glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-Src was incubated with wild-type (WT) protein kinase C (PKC)epsilon and phosphatidyl-L-serine (PS) and/or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Lipid activation of PKCepsilon by PS enhances interaction with Src (lanes 9 and 10 are positive controls). B: recombinant GST-Src fusion proteins were incubated with in vitro translated PKCepsilon -WT and open confirmation PKCepsilon mutants (PKCepsilon -AE5 and PKCepsilon -AN59) and resolved via SDS-PAGE (lanes 7-9 are positive controls). When in its open and active conformation, PKCepsilon has a higher affinity for Src. C: GST fusion proteins of the SH2 and SH3 domains of Src were incubated with in vitro translated PKCepsilon or particulate fraction lysate from mouse hearts, and interaction was detected via autoradiography or immunoblotting. Lanes 5 and 6 are controls for lanes 1-4 only; GST does not interact with myocardial PKCepsilon (data not shown). Both in vitro translated and endogenous PKCepsilon displayed similar affinity for both the SH2 and SH3 domains of Src. D: equal amounts of the regulatory domain of PKCepsilon (PKCepsilon -RHA; lanes 1-3) and the catalytic domain of PKCepsilon (PKCepsilon -CHA; lanes 4-6) were incubated with Src, followed by coimmunoprecipitation for Src. Lanes 7 and 8, direct loading of PKCepsilon -CHA and PKCepsilon -RHA onto the gel (see RESULTS); lanes 9 and 10, negative control (coimmunoprecipitation for Src, no Src protein added). Src preferentially interacts with the regulatory domain of PKCepsilon . The in vitro results shown are representative of 3 or more independent experiments.

This finding was then confirmed using recombinant proteins of wild-type and various mutants of PKCepsilon . PKCepsilon -WT was found to interact with GST-Src (Fig. 1B), a phenomenon that previous studies (25) have indicated is specific in that it varies directly with the concentration of PKCepsilon protein. However, the binding of PKCepsilon to Src was enhanced when PKCepsilon was rendered in its open conformation by a mutation that prevents the binding of the pseudosubstrate domain to the catalytic domain (16) (Fig. 1B), indicating that the interaction between PKCepsilon and Src favors the open and active conformation of PKCepsilon .

Interaction between PKCepsilon and Src involves multiple domains on Src. To examine whether the binding of PKCepsilon to Src was regulated by multiple domains on Src, we determined the interaction of GST-SH2 and GST-SH3 fusion proteins with PKCepsilon . We observed that in vitro translated PKCepsilon bound to both the SH2 and SH3 domains of Src and that it did so with a similar affinity (Fig. 1C). Importantly, this finding was confirmed using particulate fractions of mouse hearts containing endogenous PKCepsilon (Fig. 1C).

Src preferentially interacts with the regulatory domain of PKCepsilon . To characterize the domain of PKCepsilon that was responsible for its interaction with Src, we used recombinant proteins of the regulatory and catalytic regions of PKCepsilon . Recombinant Src was incubated with [35S]Met-labeled PKCepsilon -CHA or PKCepsilon -RHA, and coimmunoprecipitation for Src was performed. As shown in Fig. 1D, the interaction between the PKCepsilon -RHA and Src is much stronger than that seen between the PKCepsilon -CHA and Src. Primary sequence analysis of the two domains indicates that the ratio of methionines in recombinant PKCepsilon -CHA relative to those in PKCepsilon -RHA is 5:2. Therefore, a given amount of PKCepsilon -CHA protein will contain 2.5 times the number of methionines as the same amount of PKCepsilon -RHA protein. Because the signal recorded for the CHA/RHA domains in Fig. 1D is based on autoradiography, one would anticipate that the resultant signal from two equal amounts of PKCepsilon -CHA and PKCepsilon -RHA protein would be ~2.5 times higher in the case of the PKCepsilon -CHA. Such a positive control is seen by direct loading of PKCepsilon -RHA and PKCepsilon -CHA (lanes 7 and 8, respectively). This consideration suggests that the preference of Src for PKCepsilon -RHA over PKCepsilon -CHA is actually higher than it appears, because an equal amount of autoradiographic signal from PKCepsilon -CHA and PKCepsilon -RHA would require less PKCepsilon -CHA than PKCepsilon -RHA protein.

Distribution of PKCepsilon and Src in the mouse heart. Having shown in vitro that Src preferentially interacts with the open conformation of PKCepsilon , we sought to confirm these findings in vivo. We used a line of cardioprotected PKCepsilon mice (16) to characterize the association of Src with PKCepsilon complexes via coimmunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. As shown in Fig. 2A, PKCepsilon -mediated cardioprotection is clearly associated with increased localization of Src to PKCepsilon complexes (increased total expression of Src was also observed via Western blotting; data not shown). While Fig. 2A shows interaction of PKCepsilon and Src in the membrane fraction, this interaction was also observed at numerous other subcellular locations (data not shown). Next, we determined the effect of PKCepsilon activation on PKCepsilon and Src distribution using immunofluorescence microscopy. PKCepsilon -mediated cardioprotection was accompanied by increased distribution of PKCepsilon to numerous subcellular compartments (Fig. 2B). Furthermore, Src appeared to localize to numerous areas of the cell and lacked specific sequestration to any one particular subcellular location. These findings were confirmed using multiple antibodies against different epitopes of PKCepsilon and Src. A nearly identical pattern was seen for both kinases with multiple antibodies, suggesting that the confocal images obtained are truly representative of the subcellular distribution of the respective molecule. Most importantly, there was a strong correlation between the distribution of these two kinases (PKCepsilon and Src), as indicated by their respective immunofluorescent images, suggesting that the biochemical data we obtained via coimmunoprecipitation are representative of increased association of these two molecules at numerous subcellular locations. This finding was further verified by independently examining localization of PKCepsilon and Src to various subcellular locations (data not shown).

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the assembly of signaling modules is dependent on the molecular conformation of the proteins involved. We used recombinant proteins to demonstrate that PKCepsilon and Src tyrosine kinase interact with a higher affinity when PKCepsilon is in an active and open conformation. The particulate localization of these two molecules was confirmed in myocardial tissue through coimmunoprecipitation, GST pulldown assays, and fluorescence-based confocal microscopy.

There are a number of important findings in this investigation. First, it was shown that the formation of signaling modules is reliant in part on the molecular conformation of the molecules within them. Second, it was discovered that Src binds preferentially to the open conformation of PKCepsilon , supporting the notion that the interaction of these two molecules facilitates signal transduction (i.e., Src is more inclined to associate with the activated PKCepsilon ). Third, the interaction between PKCepsilon and Src was found to favor the regulatory domain of PKCepsilon and to involve multiple sites on Src. Finally, confocal microscopy and coimmunoprecipitation were used to show that PKCepsilon and Src interact in multiple particulate subcellular locations in the murine myocardium.

Role of PS and PMA. While numerous studies have recently identified the colocalization of multiple molecules as a means for signal transduction (2, 4, 8, 19), the manner in which the association of these molecules with each other is regulated by molecular conformation is not understood. The finding that addition of PS, but not PMA, enhanced the interaction between PKCepsilon and Src is particularly interesting. The ability of diacylglycerol (DAG) (phorbol esters/PMA) to elicit translocation of PKC to the membrane has been extensively characterized (14, 15). This translocation is generally concomitant with activation of the kinase, an occurrence regulated by PS (14, 15). Importantly, the role of DAG/PMA appears to be exclusively for the localization of PKCepsilon to the lipid bilayer membrane, and not directly for the activation of PKC, in that the translocation seen in response to PMA occurs in the absence of a conformational change in the substrate-binding region of PKC (14, 15). In the present study, the in vitro analysis obviates the question of translocation and therefore places focus on the role of molecular configuration on the interaction of PKCepsilon with Src. Because our previous studies (25) have shown that PKCepsilon and Src interact in the particulate region and not the cytosolic region, we sought in the present study to understand if this was merely due to increased abundance of the two molecules in particulate regions or also dependent on altered molecular conformation.

Our data indicate that, while local concentrations may also play a role in increasing module formation, the altered molecular conformation of the molecules within the module also appears to be a critical determinant. We found that PS alone, in the absence of PMA, is sufficient to alter the association of PKCepsilon with Src. In contrast, PMA alone did not potentiate the binding of Src and PKCepsilon in the absence of a translocation event, thereby supporting that not only does PMA not affect the binding conformation of PKCepsilon (14) but that it also does not directly affect its association with Src. This latter action is accomplished by PS alone, which alters the configuration of the substrate- and ATP-binding regions of PKCepsilon (14, 15). These conclusions were further supported by our data with the PKCepsilon open conformation mutants. As was seen in the presence of PS, the open mutants displayed a higher affinity for GST-Src than did PKCepsilon -WT. The basal interaction between PKCepsilon -WT and GST-Src in the absence of PS may be attributed to the small portion of PKCepsilon -WT that exists in an open conformation.

Contribution of distinct molecular domains. The next step was to understand what intramolecular domains of PKCepsilon and Src were involved in the interaction of the two molecules. Because of the fact that previous studies (22) have indicated that Src interacts with numerous molecules through its SH2 and SH3 domains, we hypothesized that these domains may regulate its interaction with PKCepsilon . The finding that PKCepsilon interacts with both domains (Fig. 1C) is not surprising, because many other molecules that have been shown to be binding partners of Src family kinases are known to rely on interaction with these domains (2, 13, 22). The resultant question was which domain on PKCepsilon is responsible for its interaction with Src. The finding that the regulatory domain of PKCepsilon binds to Src with a much higher affinity than did the catalytic domain is rather intriguing. Further experiments will be necessary to understand how this interaction regulates signaling between PKCepsilon and Src.

The role of molecular conformation in dictating PKCepsilon -Src module formation is consistent with our in vivo findings. We (25) have previously demonstrated that PKCepsilon -Src modules are formed in the rabbit heart and that these modules appear to play a necessary role in cardioprotection afforded by nitric oxide donors. The essential role of PKCepsilon -Lck modules in PKCepsilon -mediated cardioprotection has also been established by our laboratory in PKCepsilon transgenic mice (22a). Therefore, we wanted to investigate whether PKCepsilon -Src modules were also formed in PKCepsilon -cardioprotected mice. The results gathered in the present study support this notion insofar as coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate a dramatic increase in PKCepsilon -associated Src in the hearts of cardioprotected mice. Furthermore, confocal analyses that were performed to asses the localization of Src revealed that the kinase was distributed across all subcellular locations. To confirm that these findings were indicative of Src expression and not due to the nonspecific interactions of a given antibody, we used multiple antibodies (see METHODS) directed against distinct epitopes to characterize the distribution of Src in the heart. The patterns of Src distribution detected by various antibodies were indistinguishable from each other, supporting that this kinase is in fact ubiquitously expressed. These confocal analyses suggest that 1) PKCepsilon transgenesis results in increased distribution of PKCepsilon to numerous subcellular compartments, 2) PKCepsilon transgenesis induces increased Src expression in numerous subcellular organelles, and 3) there is a strong correlation between the subcellular distribution of PKCepsilon and Src after PKCepsilon transgenesis. As a result, these findings support the role of PKCepsilon -Src modules as a conserved mechanism of cardiac signaling across different species.

The importance of the present findings is underscored by the fact that the PKCepsilon -Src module has previously been shown to be an essential component of the heart's resistance to ischemia after nitric oxide donors. This point was instrumental in the decision to examine in the present study the mechanisms that influence module formation between PKCepsilon and Src. Within the cardioprotective PKCepsilon signaling complex, the module containing PKCepsilon and Src appears to be an essential component of protection against cell death. As a result, the steps taken in this study to understand how this module assembles will hopefully lead to new strategies to promote assembly in vivo and thereby enhance the cardioprotective phenotype.
