Scaffolding proteins of the intersectin (ITSN) family, ITSN1 and ITSN2, are crucial for the initiation stage of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. These proteins are closely related but have implications in distinct pathologies. To determine how these proteins could be separated in certain cell pathways we performed a comparative study of ITSNs.We have shown that endogenous ITSN1 and ITSN2 colocalize and form a complex in cells. A structural comparison of five SH3 domains, which mediated most ITSNs protein-protein interactions, demonstrated a similarity of their ligand-binding sites. We showed that the SH3 domains of ITSN2 bound well-established interactors of ITSN1 as well as newly identified ITSNs protein partners. A search for a novel interacting interface revealed multiple tyrosines that could be phosphorylated in ITSN2. Phosphorylation of ITSN2 isoforms but not ITSN1 short isoform was observed in various cell lines. EGF stimulation of HeLa cells enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of ITSN2 isoforms and enabled their recognition by the SH2 domains of the Fyn, Fgr and Abl1 kinases, the regulatory subunit of PI3K, the adaptor proteins Grb2 and Crk, and phospholipase C gamma. The SH2 domains mentioned were unable to bind ITSN1 short isoform.Our results indicate that during evolution of vertebrates ITSN2 acquired a novel protein-interaction interface that allows its specific recognition by the SH2 domains of signaling proteins. We propose that these data could be important to understand the functional diversity of paralogous ITSN proteins. | 23936226

Show Abstract
Intersectin 1 (ITSN1) is an adaptor protein involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, apoptosis, signal transduction and cytoskeleton organization. Here, we show that ITSN1 forms a complex with adaptor protein Ruk/CIN85, implicated in downregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases. The interaction is mediated by the SH3A domain of ITSN1 and the third or fourth proline-rich blocks of Ruk/CIN85, and does not depend on epidermal growth factor stimulation, suggesting a constitutive association of ITSN1 with Ruk/CIN85. Moreover, both proteins colocalize in MCF-7 cells with their common binding partner, the ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl. The possible biological role of the interaction between ITSN1 and Ruk/CIN85 is discussed. | 19166927
