CK1BP Reduces α-Synuclein Oligomerization and Aggregation Independent of Serine 129 Phosphorylation
description The pathological accumulation of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Synuclein (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn) is the hallmark of neurodegenerative <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-synucleinopathies, including Parkinsons’s disease (PD). In contrast to the mostly non-phosphorylated soluble <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn, aggregated <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn is usually phosphorylated at serine 129 (S129). Therefore, S129-phosphorylation is suspected to interfere with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn aggregation. Among other kinases, protein kinase CK1 (CK1) is known to phosphorylate <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn at S129. We overexpressed CK1 binding protein (CK1BP) to inhibit CK1 kinase activity. Using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) in combination with biochemical methods, we monitored the S129 phosphorylation and oligomerization of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn in HEK293T cells. We found that CK1BP reduced the overall protein levels of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn. Moreover, CK1BP concomitantly reduced S129 phosphorylation, oligomerization and the amount of insoluble <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn. Analyzing different <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn variants including S129 mutations, we show that the effects of CK1BP on <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-Syn accumulation were independent of S129 phosphorylation. Further analysis of an aggregating polyglutamine (polyQ) protein confirmed a phosphorylation-independent decrease in aggregation. Our results imply that the inhibition of CK1 activity by CK1BP might exert beneficial effects on NDDs in general. Accordingly, CK1BP represents a promising target for the rational design of therapeutic approaches to cease or at least delay the progression of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi mathvariant="sans-serif">α</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-synucleinopathies.
