Cowden syndrome-related mutations in PTEN associate with enhanced proteasome activity.
[cowden syndrome]
Germline
mutations
in
PTEN
have
been
described
in
a
spectrum
of
syndromes
that
are
collectively
known
as
PTEN
hamartoma
tumor
syndrome
(
PHTS
)
.
In
addition
to
being
mutated
in
the
germline
in
PHTS
,
somatic
loss
-of-function
PTEN
mutations
are
seen
in
a
wide
range
of
sporadic
human
tumors
.
Here
,
we
show
evidence
of
upregulated
proteasome
activity
in
PHTS-derived
lymphoblasts
,
Pten
knock-
in
mice
and
cell
lines
expressing
missense
and
nonsense
PTEN
mutations
.
Notably
,
elevated
nuclear
proteasome
activity
occurred
in
cells
expressing
the
nuclear
mislocalized
PTEN
-K
62
R
mutant
,
whereas
elevated
cytosolic
proteasome
activity
was
observed
in
cells
expressing
the
cytosolic-predominant
mutant
PTEN
(
M
3
M
4
and
C
136
R
)
.
Treatment
with
proteasome
inhibitor
MG-
132
was
able
to
restore
both
nonsense
and
missense
mutant
PTEN
protein
levels
in
vitro
.
PHTS
patients
with
destabilizing
PTEN
mutations
and
proteasome
hyperactivity
are
more
susceptible
to
develop
neurologic
symptoms
such
as
mental
retardation
and
autism
than
mutation
-
positive
patients
with
normal
proteasome
activity
.
A
detailed
molecular
and
functional
analysis
shows
that
PTEN
mutants
most
likely
cause
proteasome
hyperactivity
via
2
different
mechanisms
,
namely
,
induction
of
proteotoxic
stress
and
loss
of
protein
phosphatase
activity
.
These
results
provide
novel
insights
into
the
cellular
functions
of
PTEN
and
reveal
molecular
mechanisms
whereby
PTEN
mutations
increase
proteasome
activity
and
lead
to
neurologic
phenotypes
.
