The DF3/MUC1 mucin-like glycoprotein is aberrantly overexpressed in most human carcinomas. The MUC1 cytoplasmic domain interacts directly with (cid:2) -catenin, a component of the adherens junction of mammalian epithelial cells. The present results demonstrate that MUC1 associates with protein kinase C (cid:1) (PKC (cid:1) ). A TDR sequence adjacent to the (cid:2) -catenin binding motif in the MUC1 cytoplasmic domain functions as a site for PKC (cid:1) phosphorylation. We show that phosphorylation of MUC1 by PKC (cid:1) increases binding of MUC1 and (cid:2) -cate-nin in vitro and in vivo . The functional significance of the MUC1-PKC (cid:1) interaction is further supported by the demonstration that mutation of the PKC (cid:1) phosphorylation site abrogates MUC1-mediated decreases in binding of (cid:2) -catenin to E-cadherin. We also show that the stim-ulatory effects of MUC1 on anchorage-independent growth are abrogated by mutation of the PKC (cid:1) phosphorylation site. These findings support a novel role for PKC (cid:1) in regulating the interaction between MUC1 and the (cid:2) -catenin signaling pathway. The protein kinase C wild-type MUC1/CD and MUC1/CD(T41A) were incubated with 0.3 (cid:9) g of recombinant PKC (cid:4) (PanVera) for 1 h at 4 °C. Anti-PKC (cid:4) immunoprecipitates were analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-MUC1/CD (20) and anti-PKC (cid:4) . In other experiments, purified His- tagged wild-type and mutant MUC1/CD proteins were incubated with 0.3 (cid:9) g of PKC (cid:4) (PanVera) in the absence and presence of 200 (cid:9) M ATP for 20 min at 30 °C. GST- (cid:2) -catenin bound to glutathione beads was then added, and the reaction was incubated fo r 1 h at 4°C. The precipitated proteins were subjected to immunoblot analysis with anti-MUC1/CD (20). In Vitro Phosphorylation— Purified His-tagged, wild-type and mu- tant MUC1/CD proteins were incubated with 0.3 (cid:9) g of recombinant PKC (cid:4) (PanVera) in kinase buffer (20 m M Tris-HCl, pH 7.6, 10 m M MgCl 2 , 5 (cid:9) M dithiothreitol). The reactions were initiated by addition of 10 (cid:9) Ci of [ (cid:3) - 32 P]ATP and incubated for 20 min at 30 °C. Phosphorylated proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by autoradiography. Cells were in modified Eagle’s medium supplemented fetal serum antibiotics. The cell suspension was layered over 3.5 ml agar/Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium in 60-mm dishes. One
