Proteins that interact with both cytoskeletal and membrane
components are candidates to modulate membrane trafficking. The tumor
suppressor proteins neurofibromin (NF1) and adenomatous polyposis coli
(APC) both bind to microtubules and interact with membrane-associated
proteins. The effects of recombinant NF1 and APC fragments on vesicle
motility were evaluated by measuring fast axonal transport along
microtubules in axoplasm from squid giant axons. APC4 (amino acids
1034-2844) reduced only anterograde movements, whereas APC2 (aa
1034-2130) or APC3 (aa 2130-2844) reduced both anterograde and
retrograde transport. NF1 had no effect on organelle movement in either
direction. Because APC contains multiple cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)
consensus phosphorylation motifs, the kinase inhibitor olomoucine was
examined. At concentrations in which olomoucine is specific for
cyclin-dependent kinases (5 µM), it reduced only
anterograde transport, whereas anterograde and retrograde movement were
both affected at concentrations at which other kinases are inhibited as
well (50 µM). Both anterograde and retrograde transport
also were inhibited by histone H1 and KSPXK peptides, substrates
for proline-directed kinases, including CDKs. Our data suggest that
CDK-like axonal kinases modulate fast anterograde transport and that
other axonal kinases may be involved in modulating retrograde
transport. The specific effect of APC4 on anterograde transport
suggests a model in which the binding of APC to microtubules may limit
the activity of axonal CDK kinase or kinases in restricted domains,
thereby affecting organelle transport.
