A regulatory signaling loop comprising the PGAM5 phosphatase and CK2 controls receptor-mediated mitophagy.
Molecular Cell 2014 May 9
Mitochondrial autophagy, or mitophagy, is a major mechanism involved in mitochondrial quality control via selectively removing damaged or unwanted mitochondria. Interactions between LC3 and mitophagy receptors such as FUNDC1, which harbors an LC3-interacting region (LIR), are essential for this selective process. However, how mitochondrial stresses are sensed to activate receptor-mediated mitophagy remains poorly defined. Here, we identify that the mitochondrially localized PGAM5 phosphatase interacts with and dephosphorylates FUNDC1 at serine 13 (Ser-13) upon hypoxia or carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) treatment. Dephosphorylation of FUNDC1 catalyzed by PGAM5 enhances its interaction with LC3, which is abrogated following knockdown of PGAM5 or the introduction of a cell-permeable unphosphorylated peptide encompassing the Ser-13 and LIR of FUNDC1. We further observed that CK2 phosphorylates FUNDC1 to reverse the effect of PGAM5 in mitophagy activation. Our results reveal a mechanistic signaling pathway linking mitochondria-damaging signals to the dephosphorylation of FUNDC1 by PGAM5, which ultimately induces mitophagy.
