Loop 2 ofLimulusMyosin III Is Phosphorylated by Protein Kinase A and Autophosphorylation

Abstract: Little is known about the functions of class III unconventional myosins although, with an N-terminal kinase domain, they are potentially both signaling and motor proteins. Limulus myosin III is particularly interesting because it is a phosphoprotein abundant in photoreceptors that becomes more heavily phosphorylated at night by protein kinase A. This enhanced nighttime phosphorylation occurs in response to signals from an endogenous circadian clock and correlates with dramatic changes in photoreceptor structur… Show more

“…Our conclusion was that Myo9b reversibly switches between a high affinity F-actin-binding state and a state that is not binding to F-actin even in the time scale of the cosedimentation experiments (6). This is reminiscent of Limulus myosin III preparations that also contained mixtures of two populations, one competent and one incompetent to bind F-actin (34). These observations resemble also findings reported for the heterodimeric microtubule-dependent motor Kar3/Vik1 containing catalytic Kar3 and the nonmotor protein Vik1.…”

“…Kinase activity is conferred by an N-terminal kinase domain prior to the myosin motor domain which is dependent on autophosphorylation. Phosphorylation of residues in an actin-binding surface loop of the myosin motor domain of human myosin-3a decreases the actin affinity under steady-state conditions > 100 fold along with the duty ratio of the motor [79, 80]. Deletion of the kinase domain increases the ATPase activity, actin affinity and duty ratio of human myosin-3a, implying that autophosphorylation reduces motor activity [81].…”

“…NINAC motor activity has not been demonstrated; therefore, it has been proposed that G q α translocation involves reversible associations of G q α with the cytoplasmic and rhabdomeral isoforms of NINAC (Montell, 2012). Limulus eyes express a single homolog of NINAC that is distributed throughout the photoreceptor, concentrated at the rhabdoms (Battelle et al, 2001), and is a major target for phosphorylation by the circadian clock via activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Edwards and Battelle, 1987;Battelle et al, 1998;Kempler et al, 2007;Cardasis et al, 2007). Limulus myosin III is not a molecular motor ; however, based on the findings in Drosophila and the results presented here, it is interesting to speculate that the clock-and cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of Limulus myosin III plays a role in the clock-dependent translocation of G q α to the rhabdom.…”
