abstract = {Prostate apoptosis response-4 (Par-4) is a 38-kDa protein
originally identified as a gene product upregulated in
prostate cancer cells undergoing apoptosis. Cell death
mediated by Par-4 and its interaction partner DAP like
kinase (Dlk) is characterized by dramatic changes of the
cytoskeleton. To uncover the role of the cytoskeleton in
Par-4/Dlk-mediated apoptosis, we analyzed Par-4 for a direct
association with cytoskeletal structures. Confocal
fluorescence microscopy revealed that endogenous Par-4 is
specifically associated with stress fibers in rat
fibroblasts. In vitro cosedimentation analyses and in vivo
FRET analyses showed that Par-4 directly binds to F-actin.
Actin binding is mediated by the N-terminal 266 amino acids,
but does not require the C-terminal region of Par-4
containing the leucine zipper and the death domain.
Furthermore, the interaction of Par-4 with actin filaments
leads to the formation of actin bundles in vitro and in
vivo. In rat fibroblasts, this microfilament association is
essential for the pro-apoptotic function of Par-4, since
both disruption of the actin cytoskeleton by cytochalasin D
treatment and overexpression of Par-4 constructs impaired in
actin binding result in a significant decrease of apoptosis
induction by Par-4 and Dlk. We propose a model, in which
Par-4 recruits Dlk to stress fibers, leading to enhanced
phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain of myosin II
(MLC) and to the induction of apoptosis.},
