Involvement of the Ca-dependent Phosphatase Calcineurin in Gene Transcription That Is Stimulated by cAMP through cAMP Response Elements

Markus Schwaninger , Roland Blume , Meike Krüger , Gundula Lux , Elke Oetjen , Willhart Knepel

Gene transcription can be induced by cAMP and Cathrough distinct protein kinases phosphorylating the transcription factor CREB, which binds to cAMP response elements (CREs) in various genes. Induction of gene transcription by Cahas been shown recently to depend on the Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase calcineurin in pancreatic islet cells. This study investigates the role of calcineurin in CRE-directed gene transcription after stimulation by cAMP. Reporter fusion genes under the transcriptional control of CREs were transiently transfected into the cell line HIT. Pharmacological evidence suggests that cAMP stimulates CRE-mediated transcription through a Ca-dependent mechanism. The immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin A and FK506 inhibited CRE-mediated transcription stimulated by cAMP. At the same concentrations they also inhibited calcineurin phosphatase activity. Reversal of calcineurin inhibition by rapamycin or overexpression of calcineurin led to disinhibition of CRE-mediated gene transcription. Immunoblots with a phosphoCREB-specific antibody showed that cyclosporin A and FK506 do not interfere with CREB phosphorylation at serine 119 stimulated with cAMP or membrane depolarization. These results indicate that in HIT cells stimulation of CRE-mediated transcription depends not only on the activity of protein kinases phosphorylating CREB but also on the Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase calcineurin that is necessary for the transcriptional competence of phosphorylated CREB.
