Ser/Thr 激酶 Par-1 是酵母、蠕虫、果蝇和哺乳动物等多种生物体细胞极化所必需的。在果蝇卵子发生过程中,Par-1 是多个极化事件所必需的,包括前决定簇双齿的定位。为了阐明 Par-1 触发的分子途径,我们对 Par-1 靶标进行了全基因组高通量筛选。该筛选中确定的靶标之一是 Exuperantia (Exu),它是 bicoid mRNA 定位的介质。我们证明 Exu 是一种磷蛋白,其磷酸化在体外和体内均依赖于 Par-1。我们鉴定了 Exu 中被 Par-1 磷酸化的两个基序,并表明它们的突变消除了卵子发生中期期间 bicoid mRNA 的定位。有趣的是,Exu 磷酸化受到特别影响的 exu 突变体可以在一定程度上从卵子发生后期的这些 bicoid mRNA 定位缺陷中恢复。这些结果表明 Par-1 通过激活 bicoid mRNA 定位介质在卵母细胞中建立极性。此外,我们的分析揭示了 Exu 依赖性 bicoid mRNA 定位的两个阶段:严格依赖 Exu 磷酸化的早期阶段和不太依赖磷酸化的晚期阶段。
The Ser/Thr kinase Par-1 is required for cell polarisation in diverse organisms such as yeast, worms, flies and mammals. During Drosophila oogenesis, Par-1 is required for several polarisation events, including localisation of the anterior determinant bicoid. To elucidate the molecular pathways triggered by Par-1, we have performed a genome-wide, high-throughput screen for Par-1 targets. Among the targets identified in this screen was Exuperantia (Exu), a mediator of bicoid mRNA localisation. We show that Exu is a phosphoprotein whose phosphorylation is dependent on Par-1 in vitro and in vivo. We identify two motifs in Exu that are phosphorylated by Par-1, and show that their mutation abolishes bicoid mRNA localisation during mid-oogenesis. Interestingly, exu mutants in which Exu phosphorylation is specifically affected can to some extent recover from these bicoid mRNA localisation defects during late oogenesis. These results demonstrate that Par-1 establishes polarity in the oocyte by activating a mediator of bicoid mRNA localisation. Furthermore, our analysis reveals two phases of Exu-dependent bicoid mRNA localisation: an early phase that is strictly dependent on Exu phosphorylation and a late phase that is less phosphorylation dependent.
