Trafficking regulator of GLUT4-1, TRARG1, positively regulates insulin-stimulated GLUT4 trafficking and insulin sensitivity. However, the mechanism(s) by which this occurs remain(s) unclear. Using biochemical and mass spectrometry analyses we found that TRARG1 is dephosphorylated in response to insulin in a PI3K/Akt-dependent manner and is a novel substrate for GSK3. Priming phosphorylation of mouse TRARG1 at serine 84 allows for GSK3-directed phosphorylation at serines 72, 76 and 80. A similar pattern of phosphorylation was observed in human TRARG1, suggesting that our findings are translatable to human TRARG1. Pharmacological inhibition of GSK3 increased cell surface GLUT4 in cells stimulated with a submaximal insulin dose, and this was impaired following Trarg1 knockdown, suggesting that TRARG1 acts as a GSK3-mediated regulator in GLUT4 trafficking. TRARG1 dephosphorylation in response to insulin or GSK3 inhibition regulated its protein-protein interactions, decreasing the interaction between TRARG1 and BCL9L, JAGN1, PYGO2 and HSD17B12. Knock-down of Bcl9l promoted GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane. These data place TRARG1 within the insulin signaling network and provide insights into how TRARG1 regulates GLUT4 trafficking in adipocytes.
