Abstract:
Signal transduction pathways are tightly controlled by positive and negative regulators. We have previously identified Odin (also known as ankyrin repeat and sterile alpha motif domain-containing 1A; gene symbol ANKS1A) as a negative regulator of growth factor signaling; however, the mechanisms through which Odin regulates these pathways remain to be elucidated. To determine how Odin negatively regulates growth factor signaling, we undertook a proteomic approach to systematically identify proteins that interact with Odin using the SILAC strategy. In this study, we identified 18 molecules that were specifically associated in a protein complex with Odin. Our study established that the complete family of 14-3-3 proteins occur in a protein complex with Odin, which is also supported by earlier reports that identified a few members of the 14-3-3 family as Odin interactors. Among the novel protein interactors of Odin were CD2-associated protein, SH3 domain kinase binding protein 1 and DAB2 interacting protein. We confirmed 8 of the eighteen interactions identified in the Odin protein complex by co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Finally, a literature-based network analysis revealed that Odin interacting partners are involved in various cellular processes, some of which are key molecules in regulating receptor endocytosis.
Insights
Odin, a negative regulator of growth factor signaling, interacts with 14-3-3 proteins and other novel partners. This study identifies Odin
Area of Science:
- Cellular Biology
- Molecular Biology
- Signal Transduction
Background:
- Signal transduction pathways require precise regulation by positive and negative regulators.
- Odin (ANKRD1A) was previously identified as a negative regulator of growth factor signaling.
- The precise mechanisms of Odin's regulatory function were not fully understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the mechanisms by which Odin negatively regulates growth factor signaling.
- To systematically identify Odin-interacting proteins using a proteomic approach.
Main Methods:
- Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) strategy was employed for proteomic analysis.
- Co-immunoprecipitation experiments were used to confirm identified interactions.
- Literature-based network analysis was performed on Odin interacting partners.
Main Results:
- Eighteen molecules were identified as specifically associated with Odin in a protein complex.
- The complete family of 14-3-3 proteins was found to complex with Odin.
- Novel Odin interactors include CD2-associated protein, SH3 domain kinase binding protein 1, and DAB2 interacting protein.
- Eight of the eighteen identified interactions were confirmed via co-immunoprecipitation.
- Network analysis indicated Odin partners are involved in diverse cellular processes, including receptor endocytosis.
Conclusions:
- Odin interacts with a comprehensive set of 14-3-3 proteins and novel partners.
- These interactions provide mechanistic insights into Odin's role as a negative regulator of growth factor signaling.
- Odin's interacting partners are implicated in key cellular processes such as receptor endocytosis.
