Inhibition of ERK-MAP kinase signaling by RSK during Drosophila development

Abstract: Although p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) is known as an important downstream effector of the ribosomal protein S6 kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Ras/ERK) pathway, its endogenous role, and precise molecular function remain unclear. Using gain-of-function and null mutants of RSK, its physiological role was successfully characterized in Drosophila. Surprisingly, RSK-null mutants were viable, but exhibited developmental abnormalities related to an enhanced ERK-dependent cellular differentiation such a… Show more

“…We report that S6KII's circadian function does not require its N-terminal kinase activity, similar to findings reported for Drosophila eye development (15). In contrast, C-terminal kinase activity, previously thought to be responsible only for N-terminal kinase activation, is required for normal circadian behavior.…”

“…Our studies also suggest that ERK binding to and phosphorylation of S6KII threonine 732 (T732) within clock neurons is essential for normal rhythmicity. Whereas S6KII was shown to negatively regulate ERK in the fly eye (15) and at the neuromuscular junction (20), our work indicates that activation of S6KII by ERK is required for modulation of the circadian clock. Further, we show that both ERK binding and C-terminal kinase activity are important for autophosphorylation of S6KII serine 515 (S515) and T732 phosphorylation, whereas phosphorylation at S357, which activates the N-terminal kinase, is not dependent on these activities.…”
