Previously we described presenilin-I (PSI) as a GSK-3 beta substrate [Kirschenbaum, F., Hsu, S.C., Cordell, B. and McCarthy, J.V. (2001) Substitution of a glycogen synthase kinase-3beta phosphorylation site in presenilin I separates presenilin function from beta-catenin signalling. J. Biol. Chem. 276, 7366-7375; Kirschenbaum, F., Hsu, S.C., Cordell, B. and McCarthy, J.V. (2001) Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta regulates presenilin 1 C-terminal fragment levels. J. Biol. Chem. 276, 30701-30707], though it has not been determined whether PSI is a primed or unprimed GSK-3 beta substrate. A means of separating GSK-3 beta activity toward primed and unprimed substrates was identified in the GSK-3 beta-R96A phosphate binding pocket mutant [Frame, S., Cohen, P. and Biondi, R.M. (2001) A common phosphate binding site explains the unique substrate specificity of GSK3 and its inactivation by phosphorylation. Mol. Cell 7, 1321-1327], which is unable to phosphorylate primed but retains the ability to phosphorylate unprimed GSK-30 substrates. By using wild type GSK-3 beta, GSK-3 beta-R96A, and a pharmacological modulator of GSK-3 beta activity, we demonstrate that PSI is an unprimed GSK-3 beta substrate. These findings have important implications for regulation of PSI function and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. (c) 2006 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
