*Biological Institute, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku
University, Sendai 980-8578, Japan; Testicular protein kinase 1 (TESK1) is a serine/threonine kinase
with a structure composed of a kinase domain related to those of
LIM-kinases and a unique C-terminal proline-rich domain. Like LIM-kinases, TESK1 phosphorylated cofilin specifically at Ser-3, both
in vitro and in vivo. When expressed in HeLa cells, TESK1 stimulated
the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions. In contrast
to LIM-kinases, the kinase activity of TESK1 was not enhanced by
Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) or p21-activated kinase, indicating that
TESK1 is not their downstream effector. Both the kinase activity of
TESK1 and the level of cofilin phosphorylation increased by plating
cells on fibronectin. Y-27632, a specific inhibitor of ROCK, inhibited
LIM-kinase-induced cofilin phosphorylation but did not affect
fibronectin-induced or TESK1-induced cofilin phosphorylation in HeLa
cells. Expression of a kinase-negative TESK1 suppressed cofilin
phosphorylation and formation of stress fibers and focal adhesions
induced in cells plated on fibronectin. These results suggest that
TESK1 functions downstream of integrins and plays a key role in
integrin-mediated actin reorganization, presumably through
phosphorylating and inactivating cofilin. We propose that TESK1 and
LIM-kinases commonly phosphorylate cofilin but are regulated in
different ways and play distinct roles in actin reorganization in
living cells.
