Control of the translational repressor, PHAS-I, was investigated by
expressing proteins with Ser/Thr
Ala mutations in the five (S/T)P
phosphorylation sites. Results of experiments with HEK293 cells reveal
at least three levels of control. At one extreme is nonregulated
phosphorylation, exemplified by constitutive phosphorylation of Ser82.
At an intermediate level, amino acids and insulin stimulate the
phosphorylation of Thr36, Thr45, and Thr69 via mTOR-dependent processes
that function independently of other sites in PHAS-I. At the third
level, the extent of phosphorylation of one site modulates the
phosphorylation of another. This control is represented by
Ser64 phosphorylation, which depends on the phosphorylation of all
three TP sites. The five sites have different influences on
the electrophoretic properties of PHAS-I and on the affinity of PHAS-I
for eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). Phosphorylation of Thr45 or Ser64 results in the most dramatic decreases in eIF4E binding in vitro. However, each of the sites influences mRNA
translation, either directly by modulating the binding affinity of
PHAS-I and eIF4E or indirectly by affecting the phosphorylation of
other sites.
