Intramolecular interaction of B-MYB is regulated through Ser-577 phosphorylation.
2020
The transcription factor B-MYB is an important regulator of cell cycle-related processes that is activated by step-wise phosphorylation of multiple sites by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and conformational changes induced by the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1. Here, we show that a conserved amino acid sequence around Ser-577 in the C-terminal part of B-MYB is able to interact with the B-MYB DNA-binding domain. Phosphorylation of Ser-577 disrupts this interaction and is regulated by the interplay of CDKs and the phosphatase CDC14B. Deletion of sequences surrounding Ser-577 hyperactivates the transactivation potential of B-MYB, decreases its proteolytic stability and causes cell cycle defects. Overall, we show for the first time that B-MYB can undergo an intramolecular interaction that is controlled by the phosphorylation state of Ser-577.
