Tight control over transcription factor activity is necessary for a sensible balance between cellular proliferation and differentiation in the embryo and during tissue homeostasis by adult stem cells, but mechanistic details have remained incomplete. The homeodomain transcription factor MEIS2 is an important regulator of neurogenesis in the ventricular–subventricular zone (V-SVZ) adult stem cell niche in mice. We here identify MEIS2 as direct target of the intracellular protease calpain-2 (composed of the catalytic subunit CAPN2 and the regulatory subunit CAPNS1). Phosphorylation at conserved serine and/or threonine residues, or dimerization with PBX1, reduced the sensitivity of MEIS2 towards cleavage by calpain-2. In the adult V-SVZ, calpain-2 activity is high in stem and progenitor cells, but rapidly declines during neuronal differentiation, which is accompanied by increased stability of MEIS2 full-length protein. In accordance with this, blocking calpain-2 activity in stem and progenitor cells, or overexpression of a cleavage-insensitive form of MEIS2, increased the production of neurons, whereas overexpression of a catalytically active CAPN2 reduced it. Collectively, our results support a key role for calpain-2 in controlling the output of adult V-SVZ neural stem and progenitor cells through cleavage of the neuronal fate determinant MEIS2.
The interaction of Eph receptor tyrosine kinases with their transmembrane ligands; the ephrins, is important for the regulation of cell-cell communication. Ephrin-Eph signaling is probably best known for the discrimination of arterial and venous territories by repulsion of venous endothelial cells away from those with an arterial fate. Ultimately, cell repulsion is mediated by initiating the collapse of the actin cytoskeleton in membrane protrusions. Here, we investigated the role of the Ena/VASP family of actin binding proteins in endothelial cell repulsion initiated by ephrin ligands. Human endothelial cells dynamically extended sheet-like lamellipodia over ephrin-B2 coated surfaces. While lamellipodia of control siRNA transfected cells rapidly collapsed, resulting in a pronounced cell repulsion from the ephrin-B2 surfaces, the knockdown of Ena/VASP proteins impaired the cytoskeletal collapse of membrane protrusions and the cells no longer avoided the repulsive surfaces. Mechanistically, ephrin-B2 stimulation elicited the EphB-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of VASP, which abrogated its interaction with the focal adhesion protein Zyxin. Nck2 was identified as a novel VASP binding protein, which only interacted with the tyrosine phosphorylated VASP protein. Nck links Eph-receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Therefore, we hypothesize that Nck-Ena/VASP complex formation is required for actin reorganization and/or Eph receptor internalization downstream of ephrin-Eph interaction in endothelial cells, with implications for endothelial navigation and pathfinding.
