One possible function of Prk1p is the negative regulation of Pan1p, an actin patch regulatory protein that forms a complex in vivo with at least two other proteins, Sla1p and End3p. In this report, we identified Sla1p as another substrate for Prk1p. The phosphorylation of Sla1p by Prk1p was established in vitro with the use of immunoprecipitated Prk1p and in vivo with the use of PRK1 overexpression, and was further supported by the finding that immunoprecipitated Sla1p contained PRK1- and ARK1-dependent kinase activities. Stable complex formation between Prk1p and Sla1p/Pan1p in vivo could be observed once the phosphorylation reaction was blocked by mutation in the catalytic site of Prk1p. Elevation of Prk1p activities in wild-type cells resulted in a number of deficiencies, including those in colocalization of Pan1p and Sla1p, endocytosis, and cell wall morphogenesis, likely attributable to a disintegration of the Pan1p/Sla1p/End3p complex. These results lend a strong support to the model that the phosphorylation of the Pan1p/Sla1p/End3p complex by Prk1p is one of the important mechanisms by which the organization and functions of the actin cytoskeleton are regulated. INTRODUCTION The rapid assembly and disassembly of actin filaments at specific subcellular locations provide the mechanistic basis for various dynamic activities such as cell motility, change of cell shapes, and translocation of intracellular organelles (Carlier and Pantaloni, 1997; Mermall et al., 1998; Cooper and Schafer, 2000). An important part of our current knowledge on the actin cytoskeleton dynamics comes from studies of the actin cytoskeleton organization in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The major actin cytoskeletal structures in yeast are the cortical patches and the cytoplasmic cables, both of which display a conspicuous pattern of dynamics during the cell cycle. The pattern of cellular distribution of these actin structures has long been noticed to correlate with that of the localized surface growth (Adams and Pringle, 1984; Kilmartin and Adams, 1984; Novick and Botstein, 1985). The actin patches and cables are distributed evenly in unbudded cells undergoing isotropical surface expansion. At the time of bud emergence and during the entire period of bud formation, the yeast cell assumes an apical growth pattern, with most if not all of the actin patches mobilized first to the bud site and later in the bud. The mother cell * Corresponding author.

Despite the correlation in the patterns of actin distribution and bud formation, the exact roles of the actin cytoskeleton, especially the cortical patches, in promoting cell growth have remained largely unknown. Although cytoplasmic cables may serve as paths for myosin molecules to transport secretion vesicles to the cell surface (Novick and Botstein, 1985; Govindan et al., 1995; Ayscough et al., 1997; Pruyne et al., 1998), a polarized distribution of the cortical patches does not appear to be a necessity for bud growth, because mutants that failed to maintain a polarized localization of the cortical actin patches could still form bud efficiently (Karpova et al., 2000). Among a large number of proteins that have been identified to play direct or indirect roles in the function of the actin cytoskeleton in yeast are a group of actin patch proteins (Pruyne and Bretscher, 2000). These proteins reside on the cell cortex as clusters and partially colocalize with the actin patches. Three of them, Pan1p, End3p, and Sla1p, have been known to form a complex in vivo (Tang et al., 2000), and to be required for the actin patch morphology, membrane protein endocytosis, and cell wall synthesis (Holtzman et al., 1993; Be´ne´detti et al., 1994; Tang and Cai, 1996; Tang et al., 1997, 2000; Ayscough et al., 1999).

The role of dynamin in actin cytoskeleton organization in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has remained undefined. In this report, we found that one of the yeast dynamin-related proteins, Vps1p, is required for normal actin cytoskeleton organization. At both permissive and non-permissive temperatures, the vps1 mutants exhibited various degrees of phenotypes commonly associated with actin cytoskeleton defects: depolarized and aggregated actin structures, hypersensitivity to the actin cytoskeleton toxin latrunculinA, randomized bud site selection and chitin deposition, and impaired efficiency in the internalization of membrane receptors. Over-expression of the GTPase mutants of vps1 also led to actin abnormalities. Consistent with these actinrelated defects, Vps1p was found to interact physically, and partially co-localize, with the actin-regulatory protein Sla1p. The normal cellular localization of Sla1p required Vps1p and could be altered by over-expression of a region of Vps1p that was involved in the interaction with Sla1p. The same region also promoted mis-sorting of the vacuolar protein carboxypeptidase Y upon over-expression. These findings suggest that the functions of the dynamin-related protein Vps1p in actin cytoskeleton dynamics and vacuolar protein sorting are probably related to each other. Introduction Dynamin and dynamin-related proteins are an evolutionally conserved family of large GTPases engaged in a diversity of cellular processes, including endocytosis, intracellular protein trafficking, and organelle partitioning (Hinshaw, 2000; Danino and Hinshaw, 2001). The role of dynamin in clathrin-mediated endocytosis is first suggested in the analysis of a temperaturesensitive mutant of dynamin in Drosophila. At the nonpermissive temperature, the mutant, shibire, exhibits a paralytic phenotype due to a block in endocytosis at the presynaptic membranes (Kosaka and Ikeda, 1983). The unusual accumulation of long invaginations at these membranes indicates a failure in vesicle detachment (Kosaka et al., 1983; Koenig and Ikeda, 1989). One conspicuous feature of dynamin is its ability of self-assemble into spiral-like structures around lipid tubules, which has led to the proposal that dynamin acts as a mechano-enzyme to release the clathrincoated vesicles using its GTPase-dependent conformational changes (Sweitzer and Hinshaw, 1998; Stowell et al., 1999; Marks et al., 2001; McGavin et al., 2001; Song and Schmid, 2003). Recent studies reveal that the function of dynamins in endocytosis might depend on their roles as actin cytoskeleton regulators. Actin cytoskeleton has been known for quite some time to be important for endocytosis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast mutants with an abnormal or perturbed cortical actin cytoskeleton are often found to be defective in endocytosis (Munn, 2001). The evidence for actin cytoskeleton participating in endocytosis in mammalian cells has also been accumulating in recent years. Numerous studies have established the ability of dynamin to interact with various actin regulatory factors including profilin (Witke et al., 1998), and the actin-binding protein Abp1 (Kessels et al., 2001), as well as syndapin, intersectin, and cortactin, which link dynamin to the Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP) and the Arp2/3 complex, the major actin assembly promoters (Qualmann et al., 1999; McGavin et al., 2001; Schafer et al., 2002). Despite these findings, however, the exact function of dynamin in endocytosis remains unresolved. In addition to conventional dynamins, there are other proteins from the dynamin family that share high homology with dynamins in their N-terminal GTPase domain but show less or no sequence conservation in other regions. These dynamin-related proteins are generally also found to have functions distinct from dynamins. For example, one of the better-studied dynamin-like proteins, DLP1, is known to be required for organelle morphology in mammalian cells (Shin et al., 1997; Yoon et al., 1998; Imoto et al., 1998; Kamimoto et al., 1998; Smirnova et al., 1998; Sever et al., 1999). So far, there is no documentation yet to suggest that these dynaminlike proteins have an actin-related function similar to the conventional dynamins.
