Abstract

The Actin-Related Protein 2/3 (ARP2/3) complex is an actin nucleator that generates a branched actin network in mammalian cells. In addition to binding nucleation promoting factors, LeClaire et al. demonstrated that its phosphorylation state is essential key for its activity (LeClaire et al., 2008). In cells, the ARP2/3 complex is phosphorylated on threonine and tyrosine residues of the ARP2, ARP3, and ARPC1 subunits (Vadlamudi et al., 2004; LeClaire et al., 2008; Narayanan et al., 2011; LeClaire et al., 2015). In particular, phosphorylation of threonine 237 and 238 of the ARP2 subunit is necessary to allow a change in the ARP2/3 complex structure to its active conformation (Narayanan et al., 2011; LeClaire et al., 2015). While important for many functions in eukaryotic cells, ARP2/3 complex activity also benefits several cellular pathogens (Haglund and Welch, 2011; Welch and Way, 2013). Recently, we demonstrated that the bacterial pathogen, Legionella pneumophila, manipulates ARP2/3 complex phosphorylation state using a bacterial protein kinase injected in host cell cytoplasm (Michard et al., 2015). Here, we describe how to test the ability of a bacterial protein kinase or another protein kinase to phosphorylate the ARP2/3 complex in an in vitro context. First, the ARP2/3 complex and the bacterial protein kinase are produced and purified. Then, the purified proteins are incubated in the presence of ATP, and the ARP2/3 phosphorylation level is analyzed by Western blot.

Background

The ARP2/3 complex is phosphorylated on threonine and tyrosine residues (LeClaire et al., 2008). Four phosphorylation sites on the ARPC1 and ARP2 subunits of ARP2/3 complex are currently known: the threonine 21 of ARPC1, threonines 237/238 and tyrosine 202 of ARP2, each demonstrating an important role for ARP2/3 function (Vadlamudi et al., 2004; LeClaire et al., 2008; Narayanan et al., 2011). A recent study by our laboratory demonstrated that the Legionella kinase 2 (LegK2), an effector serine/threonine protein kinase of Legionella pneumophila, modifies the threonine phosphorylation state of ARPC1B and ARP3 subunits of ARP2/3 complex. ARP2/3 complex phosphorylation inactivates and blocks actin polymerization on the bacterial vacuole, preventing the degradation of bacteria by the endocytic pathway (Michard et al., 2015). This protocol describes an in vitro phosphorylation assay routinely used in our laboratory to test a potential substrate of protein kinases as subunits of the ARP2/3 complex. The protocol can be also adapted to assay other substrates as needed.
