From the Although TAK1 signaling plays essential roles in
eliciting cellular responses to interleukin-1 (IL-1), a proinflammatory
cytokine, how the IL-1-TAK1 signaling pathway is positively and
negatively regulated remains poorly understood. In this study, we
investigated the possible role of a novel protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C)
family member, PP2C The nucleotide sequence(s) reported in this paper has been submitted to the GenBankTM/EBI Data Bank with accession number(s) AY184801.

, in the regulation of the IL-1-TAK1 signaling
pathway. PP2C
was composed of 303 amino acids, and the overall
similarity of amino acid sequence between PP2C
and PP2C
was found
to be 26%. Ectopic expression of PP2C
inhibited the IL-1- and
TAK1-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4)-c-Jun N-terminal kinase or MKK3-p38 signaling pathway. PP2C
dephosphorylated TAK1 in vitro. Co-immunoprecipitation
experiments indicated that PP2C
associates stably with TAK1 and
attenuates the binding of TAK1 to MKK4 or MKK6. Ectopic expression of a
phosphatase-negative mutant of PP2C
, PP2C
(D/A), which acted as a
dominant negative form, enhanced both the association between TAK1 and
MKK4 or MKK6 and the TAK1-induced activation of an AP-1 reporter gene.
The association between PP2C
and TAK1 was transiently suppressed by
IL-1 treatment of the cells. Taken together, these results suggest
that, in the absence of IL-1-induced signal, PP2C
contributes to
keeping the TAK1 signaling pathway in an inactive state by associating
with and dephosphorylating TAK1.
