Replacement of Threonine 558, a Critical Site of Phosphorylation of Moesin in Vivo, with Aspartate Activates F-actin Binding of Moesin
REGULATION BY CONFORMATIONAL CHANGE

From the Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Laboratories, Department of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305-5324

Point and deletion mutants of moesin were examined for F-actin binding by blot overlay and co-sedimentation, and for intra- and intermolecular interactions with N- and C-terminal domains with yeast two-hybrid and in vitro binding assays. Wild-type moesin molecules interact poorly with F-actin and each other, and bind neither C- nor N-terminal fragments. Interaction with F-actin is strongly enhanced by replacement of Thr⁵⁵⁸ with aspartate (T558D), by deletion of 11 N-terminal residues (DelN11), by deletion of the entire N-terminal membrane-binding domain of both wild type and T558D mutant molecules, and by exposure to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate. Activation of F-actin binding is accompanied by changes in inter- and intramolecular domain interactions. The T558D mutation renders moesin capable of binding wild type but not mutated (T558D) C-terminal or wild type N-terminal fragments. The interaction between the latter two is prevented. DelN11 truncation enables binding of wild type N and C domain fragments. These changes suggest that the T558D mutation, mimicking phosphorylation of Thr⁵⁵⁸, promotes F-actin binding by disruption of interdomain interactions between N and C domains and exposure of the high affinity F-actin binding site in the C-terminal domain. Oscillation between activated and resting state could thus provide the structural basis for transient interactions between moesin and the actin cytoskeleton in protruding and retracting microextensions.
