Abstrakt: The eyes absent (Eya) proteins were first identified as co-activators of the six homeobox family of transcription factors and are critical in embryonic development. These proteins are also re-expressed in cancers after development is complete, where they drive tumor progression. We have previously shown that the Eya3 N-terminal domain (NTD) contains Ser/Thr phosphatase activity through an interaction with the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A)-B55α holoenzyme and that this interaction increases the half-life of Myc through pT58 dephosphorylation. Here, we showed that Eya3 directly interacted with the NTD of Myc, recruiting PP2A-B55α to Myc. We also showed that Eya3 increased the Ser/Thr phosphatase activity of PP2A-B55α but not PP2A-B56α. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the NTD (∼250 amino acids) of Eya3 was completely disordered, and it used a 38-residue segment to interact with B55α. In addition, knockdown and phosphoproteomic analyses demonstrated that Eya3 and B55α affected highly similar phosphosite motifs with a preference for Ser/Thr followed by Pro, consistent with Eya3's apparent Ser/Thr phosphatase activity being mediated through its interaction with PP2A-B55α. Intriguingly, mutating this Pro to other amino acids in a Myc peptide dramatically increased dephosphorylation by PP2A. Not surprisingly, Myc P59A , a naturally occurring mutation hotspot in several cancers, enhanced Eya3-PP2A-B55α-mediated dephosphorylation of pT58 on Myc, leading to increased Myc stability and cell proliferation, underscoring the critical role of this phosphosite in regulating Myc stability.
