Phosphatase Classification: Fold CC1: Superfamily CC1: Family DSP: Subfamily Slingshot

Slingshot, a subfamily conserved in holozoan but lost in nematodes, regulates cofilin phosphorylation with LIMK kinase subfamily.

Evolution


Slingshot is found across holozoan, but absent from C. elegans as well as other nematodes.

Domain


Slingshot has three domains: A domain (1-124), B domain (125-308), phosphatase domain (309-450) and Serine-enriched region close to C-terminus (positioned by human SSH1). A domain is required for the F-actin-mediated activation of SSH1 and therefore may mediate slingshot binding to actin. F-actin increased the cofilin-phosphatase activity of SSH1 more than 1200-fold. B domain and phosphatase domain are indispensable for phosphorylated-cofilin (P-cofilin) binding. The phosphatase domain alone is sufficient for the phosphatase activity toward p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), indicating that the SSH-N domain is not essential for the basal phosphatase activity of SSH1 [1]. Besides, motifs LHKACE (amino acids 185–190) in the B domain and LKRSHS (amino acids 973–978) in the S domain of SSH1 may also contribute to F-actin binding [2].

Note: As annotated by Pfam, there is a DEK C terminal domain from 251 to 303, which is part of B domain.

Function


Slingshots dephosphorylate cofilin, a ubiquitous actin-binding factor required for the reorganization of actin filaments, in Drosophila and human [3] (see here for cofilin function). In human, there are three members in slingshot subfamily. They are significantly different in subcellular distribution, F-actin-binding activity, specific phosphatase activity and expression patterns, which suggests that they have related but distinct functions in various cellular and developmental events [4].

In addition to substrate cofilin, Coronin 1B has been proposed to be slingshot's substrate [5].

Regulation


Slingshot is regulated by protein kinase D (PKD), which phosphorylates serines 937 and 978 and therefore regulates human SSH1 subcellular localization by binding of 14-3-3 proteins [6]. PKD also phosphorylates serine 402 that impedes phosphatase activity of human SSH1 [7]. 14-3-3zeta/tau heterodimers regulate Slingshot activity in migrating keratinocytes [8]. SSH1L is activated by its release from a regulatory complex with 14-3-3zeta protein through the redox-mediated oxidation of 14-3-3zeta [9].
