Myosin Light Chain Kinase (MLCK) Regulates Cell Migration in a Myosin Regulatory Light Chain Phosphorylation-independent Mechanism

Abstract: Background: MLCK in cell migration remains controversial. Results: MLCK deletion causes enhanced cell protrusion along with a reduction of membrane tension and is rescued by kinase-dead MLCK or five-DFRXXL motif. Conclusion: MLCK regulates cell migration not by myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation but possibly through a membrane tension-based mechanism. Significance: Our results shed light on a novel regulatory mechanism of protrusion during cell migration.

“…FA assembly, growth and maintenance depend on actomyosin traction forces, which adapt to the substrate elasticity (Burridge and Wittchen, 2013). In spite of alternative pathways involving MRCK (which has two isoforms, MRCKα and MRCKβ, also known as CDC42BPA and CDC42BPB, respectively), MLCK (also known as MYLK) or mDia (Burridge and Wittchen, 2013;Chen et al, 2014;Jégou et al, 2013;Totsukawa et al, 2004), a key event is the modulation of cellular contractility through myosin-based contractility and ROCK (which has two isoforms, ROCK1 and ROCK2) activity. However, signaling pathways underlying FA-mediated rigidity sensing and the mechano-response are not fully understood.…”

“…Cell movement involves tight regulation of F-actin-binding and non-muscle myosin II activity to control membrane tension and protrusion necessary for migration (Watanabe et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2014). Actomyosin contractions are also thought to be major contributors to the tensions observed at the cell-cell interfaces (Fernandez-Gonzalez and Zallen, 2009;Mason and Martin, 2011;Brodland et al, 2014).…”

“…Third, the failure of long MLCK knockout to limit severity of DSS colitis is readily understood when one considers the critical role of MLCK in cell migration and wound healing (Russo et al 2005; Chen et al 2014). Thus, although some have expressed surprise at the failure of MLCK inhibition to prevent colitis induced by chemical injury or epithelial apoptosis and therefore questioned whether MLCK is a relevant therapeutic target, the protection of long MLCK knockout mice from immune-mediated experimental IBD, but not direct epithelial injury, is expected.…”
