Phosphatase Classification: Fold PPM (PP2C): Superfamily PPM (PP2C): Family PPM (PP2C): Subfamily TAB1

Evolution

The TAB1 subfamily is found throughout metazoa. It was lost in Drosophila, but is present in most other arthropods (see internal data). Its interacting kinases from the MAPK cascade, TAK1 and p38 emerged earlier, in holozoa and opisthokont, respectively. Interestingly, they are present in Drosophila, which suggests Drosophila may lose the TAB1 modulation of TAK1 and p38.

Human TAB1 can be phosphorylated at Ser-452, Ser-453, Ser-456, Ser-457 by TAK1 and p38 [1]. This stretch of serines is not found in invertebrates.

Domain

TAB1 has a PPM-fold phosphatase domain and a C-terminal TAK1-binding motif motif (PYVDxA/TxF) [2]. The phosphatase domain binds to X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) [3].

Function

Human TAB1 is a pseudophosphatase but basal metazoan TAB1s are probably active

Human TAB1 is a pseudophosphatase. Several key residues required for dual metal-binding (D69N, D290E, D356E, N367D) and catalysis (H71Y) are substitued by other amino acids [4]. However, not all of the substitutions are conserved. D69 is found in invertebrates, including sponge, nematostella and sea urchin; D290 is found in metazoa except chordates, such as sponge, nematostella and C. elegans; D356 is found in metazoa, such as sponge, nematostella and sea urchin; H71 is found in basal metazoa, such as nematostella and sponge. Thus, TAB1s in basal metazoa are probably active, though human TAB1 is inactive.

TAB1 binds to TAK1 and induces its autophosphorylation

TAB1 physically associates with TAK1 [5] and induces TAK1 autoactivation, both in human [6, 7] and C. elegans [8, 9].

TAB1 has a conserved C-terminal region of about 30 AA, including a PYVDXA/TXF, motif, found to mediate TAK1 interaction in vertebrates and nematodes [2, 6]. This association is isoform specific: the TAB1β splice isoform replaces the the C-terminal 69 AA with an unrelated 27 AA sequence. This does not interact with TAK1 [10].

TAB1 binds to p38α and induces its autophosphorylation

Human TAB1 associates with p38α in complex with TRAF6 [11] and induces its autophosphorylation [12]. p38α binds to both the isoforms TAB1α and TAB1β [10].

  • p38α [11, 13, 14]. TAB1 functions as a scaffold protein in the activation of p38 [14]. The interaction between TAB1 and p38α is mediated by Pro-412 on TAB1 and a hydrophobic docking groove on p38α [15]. The Pro-412 of TAB1 does not localize in a conserved region, so it is hard to tell whether it is conserved.
Other interacting partners: XIAP and MEKK1
  • MEKK1 [16]. TAB1 is ubiquitinated by MEKK1 PHD domain.
  • X-chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) [17].
