Formation of stress granules inhibits apoptosis by suppressing stress-responsive MAPK pathways
2008
Overview
Stress-induced MAPK-dependent apoptosis is inhibited by the formation of stress granules, which sequester and inactivate the MTK1 activator RACK1.
When confronted with environmental stress, cells either activate defence mechanisms to survive, or initiate apoptosis, depending on the type of stress. Certain types of stress, such as hypoxia, heatshock and arsenite (type 1 stress), induce cells to assemble cytoplasmic stress granules (SGs), a major adaptive defence mechanism. SGs are multimolecular aggregates of stalled translation pre-initiation complexes that prevent the accumulation of mis-folded proteins

. Type 2 stress, which includes X-rays and genotoxic drugs, induce apoptosis through the stress-activated p38 and JNK MAPK (SAPK) pathways. A functional relationship between the SG and SAPK responses is unknown. Here, we report that SG formation negatively regulates the SAPK apoptotic response, and that the signalling scaffold protein RACK1 functions as a mediator between the two responses. RACK1 binds to the stress-responsive MTK1 MAPKKK and facilitates its activation by type 2 stress; however, under conditions of type 1 stress, RACK1 is sequestered into SGs. Thus, type 1 conditions suppress activation of the MTK1–SAPK pathway and apoptosis induced by type 2 stress. These findings may be relevant to the problem of hypoxia-induced resistance to cancer chemotherapy.
