Although activation of protein kinase C (PKC) {epsilon} and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are known to play crucial roles in the manifestation of cardioprotection, the spatial organization of PKC{epsilon} signaling modules in naïve and protected myocardium remains unknown. Based on evidence that mitochondria are key mediators of the cardioprotective signal, we hypothesized that PKC{epsilon} and MAPKs interact, and that they form functional signaling modules in mitochondria during cardioprotection. Both immunoblotting and immunofluorescent staining demonstrated that PKC{epsilon}, ERKs, JNKs, and p38 MAPK co-localized with cardiac mitochondria. Moreover, transgenic activation of PKC{epsilon} greatly increased mitochondrial PKC{epsilon} expression and activity, which was concomitant with increased mitochondrial interaction of PKC{epsilon} with ERKs, JNKs, and p38 as determined by co-immunoprecipitation. These complex formations appeared to be independent of PKC{epsilon} activity, as the interactions were also observed in mice expressing inactive PKC{epsilon}. However, although both active and inactive PKC{epsilon} bound to all three MAPKs, increased phosphorylation of mitochondrial ERKs was only observed in mice expressing active PKC{epsilon} but not in mice expressing inactive PKC{epsilon}. Examination of potential downstream targets of mitochondrial PKC{epsilon}-ERK signaling modules revealed that phosphorylation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bad was elevated in mitochondria. Together, these data show that PKC{epsilon} forms subcellular-targeted signaling modules with ERKs, leading to the activation of mitochondrial ERKs. Furthermore, formation of mitochondrial PKC{epsilon}-ERK modules appears to play a role in PKC{epsilon}-mediated cardioprotection, in part by the phosphorylation and inactivation of Bad.


Key Words: mitochondria • protein-protein interactions • functional proteomics • signaling modules • cardioprotection
