*** Pin1's Involvement in AD and FTD ***

Pin1 is a protein of the parvulin family within the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) group of proteins and was the first member of this family to be found in humans (Lu et al. 1996 ; Crenshaw et al. 1998 ).

The PPIases are chaperone proteins with a range of cellular functions which include modulating the assembly, folding and transport of essential cellular proteins at different subcellular locations which reflects the diversity of their target proteins.

Stuart Rulten's D. Phil thesis 'Characterisation of Novel Human PPIases'

   

  The protein Pin1 is a recently characterised human PPIase ( Lu et al., 1996 ) which modulates the assembly, folding, activity and transport of essential cellular proteins. It is a mitotic regulator, interacting with a range of  proteins that are phosphorylated prior to cell division  ( Shen et al. 1998). Pin1 recognises a  specific motif of a phosphorylated serine or threonine residue preceding a proline (Ser/Thr-Pro). Lu (2000) suggests that phosphorylation-dependent prolyl isomerization (by Pin1) may be a novel post-translational cell cycle regulatory mechanism which organises the phosphorylated proteins  into a defined set of mitotic structural modifications. Lu also suggests the potential of Pin1 as a drug target (because of its involvement in mitotic arrest and apoptosis).

In common with other PPIases, Pin1 catalyses the cis-trans isomerisation of proline-containing peptides and recognises a  specific motif of a phosphorylated serine or threonine residue preceding a proline (Ser/Thr-Pro). Since its characterisation, Pin1 has been the subject of intensive research in a number of groups (e.g. Shen et al. 1998 ).

Pin1 is a preferentially nuclear protein which can  regulate entry of cells into mitosis and whose PPIase activity is required for normal progression through mitosis in yeast and mammalian cells ( Lu et al. 1996; Lu and Hunter 1995; Fujimori et al., 1999 ). Indeed, deletion of Pin1 activity in HeLa cells causes mitotic arrest and apoptosis ( Lu et al. 1996 ). In addition to binding to the targets of the mitotic phosphoprotein monoclonal-2 antibody (MPM-2), Pin1 specifically interacts with and regulates the activity of a subset of mitotic and nuclear proteins in a phosphorylation-dependent manner ( Yaffe et al. 1997 ). In addition to having a role in pre-mRNA 3’ end formation ( Morris et al. 1999), it appears that nuclear localised Pin1 modulates the structure of target proteins by isomerising phosphorylated serine/threonine bonds, and is thereby intimately involved in regulating many aspects of cell cycle control. (Also see Lu et al. 1999b; Patra et al. 1999 ).

As stated above, in HeLa cells, Pin1 depletion causes mitotic arrest and apoptosis , whilst overexpression results in G2 phase arrest ( Lu et al., 1996).

Pin1 is itself regulated by PKA (Lu et al., 2002). Phosphorylation of its WW domain (at Ser-16) by PKA abolishes the interactions between Pin1 and its target proteins. It was also demonstrated that Pin1 is dephosphorylated in a cell cycle-regulated manner, with the appearance of a faster-migrating band at mitosis. 

Pin1 is additionally regulated by Plk1 (Eckerdt et al. 2005). Phosphorylation at Ser-65 by Plk1 increases Pin1 stability by inhibiting its ubiquitination.

Other work has revealed that Pin1 is overexpressed in breast cancer ( Wulf et al., 2001 ); it was suggested that this overexpression promotes oncogenesis through the interaction of Pin1 with c-Jun, thereby increasing the latter’s transcriptional activity, resulting in increased cellular levels of cyclin D1. N.B. on this latter point, Liou et al. (2002) have now reported that Pin1 binds to, and positively regulates the function of, cyclin D1 at both transcriptional and post-translational levels. They showed that binding of Pin1 stabilised cyclin D1 and suggested that this might be mediated via the prevention of its export from the nucleus (and subsequent proteolysis in the cytoplasm).

Conversely, Pin1 has also been shown to have a potential anti-cancer role by regulating the apoptotic response to genotoxic insults via its interaction with the tumour suppressor protein p53 (Wulf et al., 2002 ; Zacchi et al., 2002 ; Zheng et al., 2002).
