Abstract
Bone loss is caused by the dysregulated activity of osteoclasts which degrade the extracellular bone matrix. The tyrosine kinase Pyk2 is highly expressed in osteoclasts, and mice lacking Pyk2 exhibit an increase in bone mass, in part due to impairment of osteoclast function. Pyk2 is activated by phosphorylation at Y402 following integrin activation, but the mechanisms leading to Pyk2 dephosphorylation are poorly understood. In the current study, we examined the mechanism of action of the dynamin GTPase on Pyk2 dephosphorylation. Our studies reveal a novel mechanism for the interaction of Pyk2 with dynamin, which involves the binding of Pyk2’s FERM domain with dynamin’s plextrin homology domain. In addition, we demonstrate that the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 requires dynamin’s GTPase activity and is mediated by the tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST. The dephosphorylation of Pyk2 by dynamin and PTP-PEST may be critical for terminating outside-in integrin signaling, and for stabilizing cytoskeletal reorganization during osteoclast bone resorption.

1. Introduction
Osteoclasts (OCs) are bone-resorbing multinuclear cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells that play a key role in bone remodeling (Canalis, 2005, Suda et al., 1997). OCs are activated upon adhesion to the bone surface. This results in cytoskeletal rearrangement and formation of the podosome belt/sealing zone which contains highly dynamic actin-rich structures known as podosomes. The podosome belt is important for cell attachment and for circumscribing the ruffled border membrane through which resorption occurs (Vaananen and Horton, 1995, Novack and Faccio, 2009). However, the proteins and cellular mechanisms that regulate podosome belt formation are not well understood.
Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) and the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) are known to play an essential role in cell adhesion (Parsons, 2003, Richardson and Parsons, 1995). Pyk2 is a multi-domain protein containing an N-terminal FERM domain, a central catalytic core, several proline rich domains (PRD) and a C-terminal focal adhesion targeting (FAT) domain (Avraham et al., 2000, Han et al., 2009, Gil-Henn et al., 2007) (Fig. 1A). The FERM domain is found in a number of proteins and is involved in localizing proteins to the plasma membrane and binding to PIP2 (Chishti et al., 1998, Hamada et al., 2000). In response to integrin engagement and in the presence of intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i, Pyk2 is autophosphorylated at tyrosine residue Y402, which is essential for its activity and for downstream signaling (Mitra et al., 2005, Dikic et al., 1996, Avraham et al., 2000). In OCs, Pyk2 is localized to the podosome belt and deletion of Pyk2 leads to an impairment of OC function, which in part contributes to the osteopetrotic phenotype observed in Pyk2-deficient mice (Gil-Henn et al., 2007, Buckbinder et al., 2007).
Dynamin is a GTP-hydrolyzing enzyme (GTPase) that is involved in membrane fission during clathrin-mediated endocytosis (Schmid et al., 1998). Dynamin has four major domains: an N-terminal GTPase domain, a pleckstrin homology domain (PH) which mediates interaction with membranes lipids, a GTPase effector domain (GED) which is essential for self-assembly and for stimulated GTPase activity, and a C-terminal proline rich domain (PRD) which contains several SH3-binding sites (Hinshaw, 2000, Ahn et al., 2002, Heymann and Hinshaw, 2009). Similar to Pyk2, we found that dynamin localizes to the podosome belt in OCs and we reported that dynamin regulates actin remodeling in the podosomes of OCs (Bruzzaniti et al., 2005, Ochoa et al., 2000). We previously reported that dynamin decreases Pyk2 phosphorylation at Y402 and reduces Src binding to Pyk2 (Bruzzaniti et al., 2009). However, the mechanism of action of dynamin on Pyk2, whether dynamin promotes the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 Y402, or alternatively prevents Pyk2 from being phosphorylated, and the downstream effects on signaling in OCs is unknown. In the current study we demonstrate that Pyk2 associates with dynamin via a novel interaction involving the Pyk2-FERM and dynamin-PH domains. Furthermore, our findings suggest that dynamin acts in a GTPase-dependent manner to regulate Pyk2 dephosphorylation via the tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST. The dephosphorylation of Pyk2 is likely to terminate Pyk2 downstream signaling, leading to the reorganization of the actin podosome belt and to a decrease in OC bone resorbing activity.
2. Materials and methods
2.1. Plasmids
Full-length Pyk2 was generated as previously described (Lev et al., 1995, Dikic et al., 1996, Sieg et al., 1998). Pyk2ΔFAT (residues 1-861), Pyk2ΔFERM (residues 367-1009), PRD (residues 690-861), FAT (residues 862-1009) were excised from Pyk2 (wt) and inserted into mammalian vector pEF6/V5-His with in-frame fusion of the V5 epitope at the C-terminal. All Pyk2 cDNA fragments were verified by sequencing and restriction mapping. Dynamin DNA fragments (GTPase-GST, PH-GST, GED-GST, and PRD-GST) were kindly provided by Dr. V. Shah (Minneapolis, MN) and Dr. C.S. Lee (Seoul, S. Korea). A construct of rat dynamin-2 (splice variant aa) (Cao et al., 1998) and the dynamin-2 mutant dynK44A inserted into the pEGFP-N1 vector were generated as previously described (Damke et al., 1994, Altschuler et al., 1998). DynΔPRD was provided by P. De Camilli (Yale University, New Haven, CT). PTP-PEST (wt) and PTP-PEST (R237M) mutant were kindly provided by A. Veillette (Laboratory of Molecular Oncology, Montréal, Québec).
2.2. Preparation of cells
OC precursors were isolated from the bone marrow of 6-8 week old C57Bl/6 mice and differentiated in vitro for 6-8 days with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF, 20 ng/ml) and receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL, 80 ng/ml) (Kalliolias et al., 2010).
293VnR cells (HEK293; human embryonic kidney cells stably overexpressing the avβ3 or vitronectin receptor) were previously described and validated (Bruzzaniti et al., 2005). 293VnR cells were transfected using FuGENE 6 according to manufacturer’s protocols (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN). For most experiments, a ratio of 2 μg Pyk2 to 1 μg of dynamin was used for these experiments, unless otherwise indicated.
2.3. Immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down assays
OC cultures or transfected 293VnR cells were serum starved for 24 h, washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and lysed in modified RIPA (mRIPA) buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% NP40, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 50 mM NaF, 1% aprotinin and 0.1mM Na3VO4). Immunoprecipitations (IPs) and Western blotting were performed as previously published (Bruzzaniti et al., 2005). Protein blots were quantified by densitometry analysis using ImageJ software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/).
GST pull-down assays using anti-GST antibodies were performed as reported (Izumi et al., 2009, Bachand et al., 2002). Briefly, dynamin fragments (GTPase-GST, PH-GST, GED-GST, and PRD-GST) were expressed in bacterial cells induced with IPTG (1mM) for 4 hrs. Bacterial pellets were resuspended with B-PER Protein Extraction Reagents (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Lysates were sonicated, cleared by centrifugation and resuspended in refolding buffer containing 20 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1mM EGTA, 0.5 mM DTT (Leonard et al., 2005). Anti-GST antibody was added to the refolding mixture and incubated for 2 hrs at 4°C. Protein G agarose beads were added and rocked gently for 1hr at 4°C. Cleared lysates from Pyk2-transfected 293VnR cells were added to the dynamin-GST-beads and incubated for 2 hrs at 4°C. Washing and centrifugation were repeated 4 times before proceeding to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.
3. Results
3.1. Characterization of the effects of dynamin mutants on Pyk2 phosphorylation
Specific point mutations within dynamin are reported to regulate dynamin’s GTPase activity (Fig. 1C). Therefore, to begin to investigate the mechanism by which dynamin regulates Pyk2 and to determine the role of dynamin’s GTPase activity on Pyk2 Y402 phosphorylation, we used several known dynamin mutants (K44A, S61D, T141A and I684K) which have differential effects on dynamin’s catalytic activity (Fig 1C). Pyk2 was co-expressed in the presence or absence of the dynamin mutants and proteins were immunoprecipitated (IP’d) and subject to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting (Fig. 2A-C). Densitometric analyses were then performed to determine the ability of the dynamin mutants to form a complex with Pyk2, and to regulate Pyk2 Y402 phosphorylation (Fig. 2A-C). We found that Pyk2 co-immunoprecipitated (co-IP’d) with wild-type dynamin (dynWT) as well as all mutants (Fig. 2A). However, dynK44A, dynS61D and dynT141A associated with Pyk2 to a greater extent than dynWT (up to 250-350% increase), whereas the association of Pyk2 with dynI684K was similar to dynWT.
We next determined if Pyk2 phosphorylation was differentially affected by the various dynamin mutants (Fig. 2B). We found that Pyk2 phosphorylation was almost completely abolished in the presence of dynWT, whereas dynK44A and dynS61D only showed a 35-40% decrease. This finding was surprising given that these mutants associated with Pyk2 to a greater extent than dynWT (Fig. 2A). In contrast, Pyk2 phosphorylation was significantly decreased (90% decrease) by dynT141A (Fig. 2B), which was found to strongly associate with Pyk2 (Fig. 2A). Since dynK44A and dynS61D are catalytically-inactive, these findings suggest that Pyk2 dephosphorylation requires dynamin’s catalytic activity. Of further interest, the assembly-defective mutant dynI684K decreased Pyk2 phosphorylation (90% decrease) to a greater extent than dynWT, even though its catalytic activity is reported to be reduced (Fig. 1C). To further examine if dynamin’s GTPase activity was important for its ability to decrease Pyk2 phosphorylation, we performed similar experiments in the presence of the synthetic dynamin GTPase inhibitor, dynasore (Kirchhausen et al., 2008, Nankoe and Sever, 2006). 293VnR cells were transfected with Pyk2 and either dynWT or dynI684K and treated with dynasore for 1 hr. As shown in Fig. 2C, densitometric analyses revealed increased Pyk2 phosphorylation in the presence of dynasore. In addition, dynasore increased Pyk2 phosphorylation in cells expressing Pyk2 and dynWT or dynI684K. This finding was consistent with the increase in Pyk2 phosphorylation we observed in cells co-expressing the GTPase-inactive mutants, dynK444A and dynS61D, compared with dynWT (Fig. 2B). Therefore, our findings indicate that the catalytic activity of dynamin, as well as conformational changes in dynamin, is important for regulating dynamin’s effects on Pyk2 phosphorylation.
3.2. Pyk2-dynamin association involves the Pyk2 FERM and the dynamin PH domains
Dynamin and Pyk2 lack obvious complementary motifs through which the direct binding of these proteins may occur. Therefore, to identify the molecular domains involved in the association of dynamin and Pyk2 complexes, we examined the interaction of several dynamin and Pyk2 truncated proteins. First, we compared whether the PRD domains in dynamin or Pyk2 are critical for their mutual association. We found by co-IP that Pyk2 associated with both dynWT and dynΔPRD (lacking the PRD), although its association with dynΔPRD was significantly less than that observed with dynWT (Fig. 3A). This suggested that non-canonical molecular domains were involved in mediating protein complexes. To further elucidate the intramolecular domains involved, we performed GST pull-down assays using truncated dynamin domains. As shown in Fig. 3B, Pyk2 was not detected in pull-down assays using the isolated GTPase or GED domains. However, Pyk2 associated strongly with the dynamin PH domain, while the PRD exhibited reduced association. We next performed GST pull-down experiments to examine which domain of Pyk2 participated in the dynamin-Pyk2 complexes. Our findings revealed that Pyk2ΔFAT and the isolated FERM domain of Pyk2 both associated with the PH domain of dynamin (Fig. 3C). In addition, we found that full-length dynamin strongly co-IP’d with the isolated FERM domain, but not with Pyk2 lacking the FERM domain (Pyk2ΔFERM) (Fig. 3D). Together, these findings indicate that the Pyk2 FERM and dynamin PH domains are likely to be the major domains involved in the association of these proteins.
3.3. PTP-PEST regulates the dynamin-induced decrease in Pyk2 phosphorylation
The decrease in Pyk2 phosphorylation that we observed could be the result of a block in the initial autophosphorylation of Pyk2 or the result of Pyk2 dephosphorylation by tyrosine phosphatases. To examine the mechanism of Pyk2 dephosphorylation, Pyk2 was expressed in 293VnR cells in the presence or absence of dynamin. Cells were then treated with a broad spectrum tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, phenyl arsine oxide (PAO) using increasing inhibitor concentrations and incubation times (Fig. 4A and 4B). Protein complexes were analyzed by Western blotting to detect Pyk2 Y402 phosphorylation, followed by densitometry. Comparable levels of Pyk2 were IP’d as indicated by the control blots (IP:Pyk2, B:Pyk2). These studies revealed that Pyk2 phosphorylation was increased in the presence of PAO in a dose and time-dependent manner (Fig. 4A and 4B, respectively). Although Pyk2 phosphorylation was dramatically decreased by dynWT (Fig 4A and 4B, compare Pyk2 alone and Pyk2+dyn), PAO significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of dynamin on Pyk2 phosphorylation in a concentration and time-dependent manner. These findings therefore suggested that a specific tyrosine phosphatase was involved in the dynamin-induced dephosphorylation of Pyk2. We next examined whether dynamin’s assembly was important in the ability of PAO to restore Pyk2 phosphorylation. We therefore expressed Pyk2 in the presence of either dynWT or dynI684K, and treated cells with the optimal dose of PAO (15 μM for 60 min) (see Fig 4A and 4B). As shown in Fig. 4C, dynWT and dynI684K both induced Pyk2 dephosphorylation, which was partially reversed by PAO. Interestingly, the effect of PAO on Pyk2 dephosphorylation appeared greater for dynI684K than dynWT, again suggesting that the GTPase activity of dynamin as well as its conformation may be important for Pyk2 dephosphorylation, since dynI684K is defective in its ability to hydrolyze GTP (Fig. 1C). Finally, to determine if PAO led to the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 while it was in complex with dynamin, we expressed Pyk2 and in 293VnR cells and then IP’d dynamin and blotted for the presence of phosphorylated Pyk2 Y402. As shown in Fig. 4D, PAO increased the amount of phosphorylated Pyk2 that IP’d with dynamin. Together, our data suggested that a tyrosine phosphatase was likely to be present in the dynamin-Pyk2 complex, leading to Pyk2 dephosphorylation. However, it is possible that some Pyk2 may be dephosphorylated prior to its association with dynamin. the finding that dynWT still IP’d with Pyk2 in the presence of PAO (Fig. 4A and 4B, blot 2) indicated that dephosphorylated Pyk2 remained in complex with dynamin.
The tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST is essential in regulating both cell spreading and migration by inducing the dephosphorylation of several focal adhesion-associated proteins (Shen et al., 1998, Angers-Loustau et al., 1999). It has also been reported that PTP-PEST specifically dephosphorylates Pyk2 Y402 (Lyons et al., 2001, Sahu et al., 2007) and is inhibited in the presence of PAO or Na3VO4. We therefore investigated the role of PTP-PEST in the dynamin-regulated dephosphorylation of Pyk2. Dynamin and Pyk2 were cotransfected with PTP-PEST (PEST) or an inactive R237M mutant of PTP-PEST (R237M), which is known to act as a dominant negative mutant (Davidson and Veillette, 2001, Shen et al., 1998, Angers-Loustau et al., 1999, Turner, 2000, Lyons et al., 2001). As shown in Fig. 5A, Pyk2 co-IP’d with active PTP-PEST and inactive PEST-R237M. Pyk2 phosphorylation was decreased in the presence of PTP-PEST, but significantly increased by PEST-R237M. A possible explanation for this is that over-expression of inactive PEST-R237M displaces endogenous PTP-PEST or other phosphatases from Pyk2, leading to an overall increase in Pyk2 phosphorylation. Next, Pyk2 was co-expressed with dynamin and either active PTP-PEST or inactive PEST-R237M. Similarly to our earlier findings, PTP-PEST decreased Pyk2 phosphorylation while PEST-R237M significantly rescued Pyk2 Y402 phosphorylation in the presence of dynamin (Fig. 5B). We then examined whether dynamin’s activity was required for the association of Pyk2 and PTP-PEST (Fig. 5C). 293VnR cells expressing various combinations of dynWT, Pyk2 and PTP-PEST were treated with dynasore or vehicle (DMSO) and then subject to IP and Western blotting. As shown in Fig. 5C, dynasore decreased the amount of Pyk2 that was in complex with PTP-PEST (blot 1). We also found that the association of dynamin with PEST also decreased in the presence of dynasore (blot 2), suggesting that dynamin’s GTPase activity was important for the protein complex to form. Next, we used the GTPase-inactive dynK44A mutant to further examine if dynamin’s association with PTP-PEST requires its GTPase activity, or the presence of Pyk2 (Fig. 5D). Indeed, dynamin co-IP’d with PTP-PEST in the presence or absence of Pyk2 (293VnR cells lack endogenous Pyk2). However, we found more PTP-PEST in complex with dynWT than dynK44A, confirming that dynamin’s GTPase activity is important for its association with PTP-PEST. Of interest, co-expression of Pyk2 increased the formation of both the dynamin-PTP-PEST and dynK44A-PTP-PEST complexes, suggesting cooperative binding of these proteins. Finally, we examined if PTP-PEST enhanced the association of dynWT or dynK44A with Pyk2 (Fig. 5D, blot 2 and 3). Although dynK44A associated more strongly with Pyk2 than dynWT (as previously shown in Fig. 1B), PTP-PEST enhanced the formation of Pyk2-dynamin complexes. These findings further suggested a cooperative association, rather than competitive interaction of these proteins. Our findings also suggest that PTP-PEST is involved in the dynamin-induced dephosphorylation of Pyk2. Furthermore, the association of PTP-PEST to dynamin may be regulated by the GTPase activity of dynamin.
3.4. Dynamin, Pyk2 and PTP-PEST form a complex in OCs and regulate podosome belt formation
To further elucidate the role of PTP-PEST in the dephosphorylation Pyk2 in OCs, we determined whether these proteins formed a complex in OCs. As shown in Fig. 6A, Pyk2 formed a protein complex with both dynamin and PTP-PEST in OCs. Similarly, PTP-PEST formed a complex with both dynamin and Pyk2, indicating that these three molecules were potentially part of the same molecular complex. In addition, we used microscopic analyses to examine whether podosome belt formation, which is critical for OC function, is affected by inhibition of phosphatase activity. First, we examined if Pyk2 colocalizes with PTP-PEST in the OC podosome belt and whether PAO, which increased Pyk2 phosphorylation in a time and concentration-dependent manner (Fig. 4), affected the cellular localization of these proteins. Consistent with our co-IP studies, Pyk2 colocalized with dynamin as well as with PTP-PEST within the podosome belt in OCs (Fig. 6B). In addition, Pyk2 colocalized with dynamin and PTP-PEST in both untreated and PAO-treated OCs. Of interest, we found that Pyk2, dynamin and PTP-PEST were more concentrated to the cell periphery in PAO-treated cells compared to vehicle-treated cells. We next examined the extent to which PAO affected podosome belt formation in OCs. OCs were treated with or without PAO and the number of cells presenting a peripheral podosome belt were then quantified. As shown in Fig. 6C, in PAO-treated OCs, the podosome belt appeared as a tight band localized to the cell periphery. Furthermore, we found a two-fold increase in the number of OCs containing a peripheral podosome belt following PAO-treatment, suggesting that inhibition of phosphatase activity is likely to decrease OC bone resorption.
4. Discussion
OC adhesion and bone resorbing activity requires the assembly of podosomes in the sealing zone/podosome belt which is stabilized by the microtubule network (Gil-Henn et al., 2007). However the signaling proteins involved in the rapid assembly, organization and disassembly of podosomes are not clearly understood. We previously reported that dynamin regulates OC bone resorption in part by decreasing Pyk2 Y402 phosphorylation, which decreases binding to the downstream signaling protein, Src (Bruzzaniti et al., 2009). Our studies now demonstrate the dynamin leads to the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 via recruitment of the tyrosine phosphatase PTP-PEST. Furthermore, we found that dynamin, Pyk2 and PTP-PEST are part of the same molecular complex. In addition, we identified a novel mechanism of interaction of dynamin and Pyk2 which predominantly involves the dynamin PH domain and the Pyk2 FERM domain. Finally, we demonstrated that the inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases stabilizes the podosome belt at the cell periphery, which is likely to significantly affect the bone resorbing activity of OCs.
The phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitors PAO and Na3VO4 are both known to inhibit PTP-PEST and we found that PAO (Fig. 4) and Na3VO4 (data not shown) rescued Pyk2 phosphorylation in the presence of dynamin, consistent with the prediction that PTP-PEST is involved in Pyk2 dephosphorylation. In unpublished studies, we also found that Pyk2 co-IPs with PTP-1α, PTP-1β and SHP-2 and that the phosphatase inhibitors PTP-IV (which inhibits SHP-2, PTP1B, PTP-ε, PTP-Meg-2, PTP-σ, PTP-β, and PTP-μ) and okadaic acid led to an increase in Pyk2 phosphorylation. However, the rescue of Pyk2 phosphorylation with these inhibitors was much lower than that results with PAO (data not shown). Therefore, PTP-PEST is likely to be a major phosphatase involved in Pyk2 Y402 dephosphorylation in the presence of dynamin, although other phosphatases may also be involved.
Our studies suggested that dynamin, Pyk2 and PTP-PEST were likely to be present as part of the same molecular complex in OCs and when expressed in 293VnR cells. In addition, the expression of Pyk2 enhanced dynamin’s association with PTP-PEST while over-expression of PTP-PEST enhanced Pyk2’s association with dynamin, suggesting that the association of these molecules within a complex was likely to be cooperative in nature. Furthermore, we found that less dynK44A co-IP’d with PTP-PEST than dynWT, and the expression of PTP-PEST enhanced the association of dynK44A with Pyk2 (Fig. 5D). Consistent with this, we found that in the presence of dynasore or dynK44A, the association of Pyk2 and PTP-PEST was increased, suggesting that dynamin’s GTPase activity regulates the formation of a multi-protein complex. It is possible that the transition of dynamin from GTP-bound to GDP-bound influences the binding of PTP-PEST to dynamin in the complex, which consequently may impact Pyk2 dephosphorylation. It should be noted that dynamin can be tyrosine phosphorylated by Src kinase (Ahn et al., 2002), but the phosphatase involved in dynamin’s dephosphorylation has not yet been determined. Our studies reveal that dynamin forms a complex with PTP-PEST in the presence or absence of Pyk2 (Fig. 5D), indicating that dynamin may be a substrate of PTP-PEST. Together, our findings support the hypothesis that Pyk2 dephosphorylation in the presence of dynamin is mediated by PTP-PEST and that dynamin leads to the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 via PTP-PEST, a step that is likely to occur after Pyk2’s initial autophosphorylation.
The GTPase domain of dynamin contains four distinct structural domains (G1, G2, G3 and G4) that play a major role in binding the guanine nucleotide (GTP) base as well as phosphate/Mg+2 ions (Song et al., 2004a). Residues around G2 and G3 interact with the γ-phosphate of bound GTP, and form the switch 1 and switch 2 regions of the GTPase and are known to alter their conformation upon GTP binding. The critical role of the G1 and G2 domain on dynamin’s GTPase activity was previously demonstrated using the point mutants K44A and S61D (G1 and G2, respectively) (Fig. 1B) (Song et al., 2004a). In addition, these mutants can act as dominant negatives against dynWT in over-expression studies. In contrast, a single point mutation in the G3 domain (T141A) increases dynamin’s catalytic activity. The GTP effector domain (GED) is also reported to bind the GTPase domain and act as an intramolecular GTP-activating protein (GAP), and mutations in this domain significantly decrease dynamin’s catalytic activity (Song et al., 2004b). It was previously reported that dynK44A and dynS61D have decreased GTPase activity, whereas dynT141A has increased GTPase activity compared to dynWT (Damke et al., 1994, Song et al., 2004a, Song et al., 2004b, Soulet et al., 2006, Marks et al., 2001, Lee and De Camilli, 2002) (summarized in Fig 1C). Our findings revealed that GTP hydrolysis is important for the ability of dynamin to promote the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 since dynK44A and dynS61D had only a small effect on Pyk2 dephosphorylation compared to dynWT (Fig. 2). Consistent with this finding, we found that dynT141A, which has increased GTPase activity, associated Pyk2 with the same affinity as dynK44A and dynS61D but reduced Pyk2 phosphorylation by 90% compared to dynWT. Moreover, we found that Pyk2 co-IPs more strongly with dynK44A and dynS61D than dynWT (Fig. 2A. These findings suggested that conformational changes in dynamin’s tertiary structure may contribute to its ability to dephosphorylated Pyk2, perhaps by decreasing the association of dynamin to PTP-PEST (Fig. 5D). In support of this, the crystal structure of the isolated dynamin GTPase domain demonstrates that the G2 and G3 domains, in which the S61D and T141A mutations are located, undergo large conformational changes during their transition from GTP-bound to GDP-bound states (Reubold et al., 2005).
In addition to a basal GTPase activity, the catalytic activity of dynamin can be stimulated by intramolecular assembly and assembly into tetramers, a prerequisite for membrane constriction during endocytosis (Song et al., 2004b, Chappie et al., 2010). The assembly of dynamin is controlled by the GED domain and influences GTP binding and hydrolysis (Damke et al., 1994, Song et al., 2004a, Song et al., 2004b, Soulet et al., 2006, Marks et al., 2001, Lee and De Camilli, 2002). The dynI684K mutant is unable to self-assemble and also exhibits decreased catalytic activity under basal conditions (4-fold lower than dynWT) (Fig. 1C) (Song et al., 2004b, Soulet et al., 2006). We found that dynI684K decreased Pyk2 phosphorylation to a greater extent than dynWT (Fig. 2B and 2C), further supporting the idea that structural changes in dynamin influence the degree the binding to Pyk2 and/or PTP-PEST.
The most commonly reported mechanism for interaction of dynamin with its downstream binding partners involves dynamin’s PRD. Unexpectedly, our experiments demonstrated that the major molecular domain involved in mediating the interaction of dynamin and Pyk2 was not the PRD, but the PH domain. The dynamin PH domain has been reported to be involved in protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions (Shajahan et al., 2004) and mutations in this domain affect the ability of lipids to stimulate dynamin GTPase activity (Achiriloaie et al., 1999, Vallis et al., 1999). In the context of our findings, we speculate that the association of Pyk2 with dynamin may potentially affect the ability of dynamin to be stimulated by lipids. Of clinical interest, mutations in dynamin’s PH domain are associated with dominant intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Zuchner et al., 2005). Moreover, it has been demonstrated that alendronate, a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate commonly used to treat bone loss associated with osteoporosis, binds dynamin’s PH domain and inhibits dynamin’s catalytic activity (Masaike et al., 2010). These reports further support the idea that the interaction of the dynamin PH domain with Pyk2 potentially inhibits the GTPase activity of dynamin.
Interestingly, our findings demonstrate that Pyk2 interacts with the dynamin PH domain via a unique mechanism involving its N-terminal Pyk2 FERM. The interaction of FERM-domain-containing proteins with PH-domain-containing proteins is not without precedence. For example, the FERM-containing protein FIR can bind directly with the PH domain of the Dbl Rho-GEFs (Kubo et al., 2002). In addition, the activation of Etk is regulated by FAK, which is highly homologous to Pyk2, through the direct association of the Etk-PH and the FAK-FERM domains (Chen et al., 2001). Structural studies have also shown that the FAK FERM domain regulates FAK autophosphorylation when it binds directly to its kinase domain, thus inhibiting access to the activation loop containing Y397 (equivalent to Y402 in Pyk2) (Lietha et al., 2007). Moreover, Pyk2 mutants harboring amino acid changes within the FERM domain have decreased phosphorylation compared to Pyk2, and have reduced capacity to stimulate glioma cell migration (Loftus et al., 2009, Lipinski et al., 2006). Given the amino acid homology between FAK and Pyk2, it is likely that the FERM domain of Pyk2 also regulates its kinase activity by regulating access to Y402.
Based on our findings and published data, we propose the following working model (Fig. 7). We propose that integrin activation leads to release of the auto-inhibitory FERM domain, enabling the activation of Pyk2. This results in the autophosphorylation and activation of Pyk2, which promotes OC resorption. Dynamin is also activated and promotes OC resorption. After an appropriate stimulus, PTP-PEST is recruited to dynamin and potentially leads to the dephosphorylation of dynamin, which would in turn decrease its GTPase activity and block OC bone resorption. PTP-PEST also cooperatively enhances dynamin PH domain binding to Pyk2-FERM domain, which permits access to the Y402 site and enables the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 by PTP-PEST. This would subsequently lead to the inactivation of Pyk2 signaling cascades and to the disengagement of integrins. Consistent with cooperative interaction of these proteins, we found that PAO treatment of OCs increased the colocalization of Pyk2, dynamin and PTP-PEST at the cell periphery, where podosome disassembly is likely to occur.
In conclusion, our data confirm an important role of dynamin GTPase activity in the regulation of Pyk2 phosphorylation. Our studies further demonstrate that dynamin and PTP-PEST control the dephosphorylation of Pyk2 which is critical for the organization of the podosome belt and for OC bone resorbing activity. These studies also raise the possibility that therapeutic strategies that target dynamin’s PH domain or Pyk2’s FERM domain, which are predicted to inhibit bone resorption, may be useful for the treatment of bone loss associated with osteoporosis or related bone diseases.
