Abstract:The A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) GSK3beta interaction protein (GSKIP) is a cytosolic scaffolding protein binding protein kinase A (PKA) and glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta). Here we show that both the AKAP function of GSKIP, i.e. its direct interaction with PKA, and its direct interaction with GSK3beta are required for the regulation of beta-catenin and thus Wnt signaling. A cytoplasmic destruction complex targets beta-catenin for degradation and thus prevents Wnt signaling. Wnt signals cause beta-catenin accumulation and translocation into the nucleus, where it induces Wnt target gene expression. GSKIP facilitates control of the beta-catenin stabilizing phosphorylation at Ser-675 by PKA. Its interaction with GSK3beta facilitates control of the destabilizing phosphorylation of beta-catenin at Ser-33/Ser-37/Thr-41. The influence of GSKIP on beta-catenin is explained by its scavenger function; it recruits the kinases away from the destruction complex without forming a complex with beta-catenin. The regulation of beta-catenin by GSKIP is specific for this AKAP as AKAP220, which also binds PKA and GSK3beta, did not affect Wnt signaling. We find that the binding domain of AKAP220 for GSK3beta is a conserved GSK3beta interaction domain (GID), which is also present in GSKIP. Our findings highlight an essential compartmentalization of both PKA and GSK3beta by GSKIP, and ascribe a function to a cytosolic AKAP-PKA interaction as a regulatory factor in the control of canonical Wnt signaling. Wnt signaling controls different biological processes, including embryonic development, cell cycle progression, glycogen metabolism, and immune regulation; deregulation is associated with diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
