Abstract:
The aim of this study is to determine the regulatory mechanism of PTEN-induced putative kinase protein 1 short isoform (PINK1S) in cytoplasm. By co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay, we identified that PINK1S interacted with the beta regulatory subunit of Casein Kinase 2 (CK2β), but not with the catalytic subunits CK2α1 and CK2α2. Furthermore, cells were transfected with PINK1S and CK2β, and then PINK1S was purified by immunoprecipitation. After detecting the phosphorylated proteins by Phos-tag Biotin, we found that CK2β overexpression increased auto-phosphorylation of PINK1S. Finally, we generated CK2β knockdown cell lines by RNA interference. Purified PINK1S from CK2β knockdown cells significantly reduced its auto-phosphorylation compared with control cells. These results suggested that CK2β functions as a regulatory subunit of PINK1S kinase complex promoted its activation by self-phosphorylation.
