MAGE-A4 interacts with the liver oncoprotein gankyrin and suppresses its tumorigenic activity

Hepatocellular carcinoma ranks among the most common malignancies in Southeast Asia and South Africa. Although there are many modalities of treatment, the recurrence and metastasis rates are high, and the prognosis is unsatisfactory. Gankyrin, a recently found oncoprotein, is a promising target for drug therapy because it is overexpressed in all studied hepatocellular carcinomas. Gankyrin contains six ankyrin repeats and interacts with Rb, Cdk4, and the S6 ATPase of the 26 S proteasome. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid screen with gankyrin has identified MAGE-A4 as another interacting protein. The interaction, mediated by the C-terminal half of MAGE-A4, was reproduced in mammalian cells. The interaction was specific to MAGE-A4, because other MAGE family proteins structurally similar to MAGE-A4, i.e. MAGE-A1, MAGE-A2, and MAGE-A12, did not bind to gankyrin. MAGE-A4 partially suppressed both anchorage-independent growth in vitro and tumor formation in athymic mice of gankyrin-overexpressing cells. The ability of mutant MAGE-A4 to interact with gankyrin correlated with the ability to suppress the anchorage-independent growth. These results demonstrate that MAGE-A4 binds to gankyrin and suppresses its oncogenic activity. So far, the major focus of studies on the MAGE proteins has been on their potential for cancer immunotherapy. Our results may also shed light on novel functions for MAGE-A proteins.

Ggamma13 interacts with PDZ domain-containing proteins

The G protein gamma13 subunit (Ggamma13) is expressed in taste and retinal and neuronal tissues and plays a key role in taste transduction. We identified PSD95, Veli-2, and other PDZ domain-containing proteins as binding partners for Ggamma13 by yeast two-hybrid and pull-down assays. In two-hybrid assays, Ggamma13 interacted specifically with the third PDZ domain of PSD95, the sole PDZ domain of Veli-2, and the third PDZ domain of SAP97, a PSD95-related protein. Ggamma13 did not interact with the other PDZ domains of PSD95. Coexpression of Ggamma13 with its Gbeta1 partner did not interfere with these two-hybrid interactions. The physical interaction of Ggamma13 with PSD95 in the cellular milieu was confirmed in pull-down assays following heterologous expression in HEK293 cells. The interaction of Ggamma13 with the PDZ domain of PSD95 was via the C-terminal CAAX tail of Ggamma13 (where AA indicates the aliphatic amino acid); alanine substitution of the CTAL sequence at the C terminus of Ggamma13 abolished its interactions with PSD95 in two-hybrid and pull-down assays. Veli-2 and SAP97 were identified in taste tissue and in Ggamma13-expressing taste cells. Coimmunoprecipitation of Ggamma13 and PSD95 from brain and of Ggamma13 and SAP97 from taste tissue indicates that Ggamma13 interacts with these proteins endogenously. This is the first demonstration that PDZ domain proteins interact with heterotrimeric G proteins via the CAAX tail of Ggamma subunits. The interaction of Ggamma13 with PDZ domain-containing proteins may provide a means to target particular Gbetagamma subunits to specific subcellular locations and/or macromolecular complexes involved in signaling pathways.

Identification and characterisation of regions in the cellular protein LaXp180 and the<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Listeria monocytogenes</Emphasis> surface protein ActA necessary for the interaction of the two proteins

The Listeria monocytogenes surface protein ActA is an important virulence factor that plays an essential role in intracellular movement of Listeria cells by inducing actin polymerisation. The ActA protein is known to interact with several mammalian proteins including the phosphoprotein VASP, actin and the Arp2/3 complex. In a search for additional ActA-binding proteins we recently employed the yeast two-hybrid system to search for proteins that interact with ActA, and identified, among others, the mammalian protein LaXp180 as a binding partner. In the present study the interaction of the two proteins was investigated in more detail. A number of variants were tested in the yeast two-hybrid system for their ability to interact. On the basis of these assays, the 14 C-terminal amino acids of LaXp180 were identified as being necessary for the interaction with ActA. The proline-rich repeat (PRR) region of ActA was found to be necessary for the interaction with LaXp180, but upstream or downstream sequences are also required to enhance the specificity of the interaction. The second and third repeats in ActA are especially important, and the minimal sequence of ActA capable of interacting with LaXp180 was a proline- and glutamate-rich stretch of PRR3 fused to part of the N-terminal sequence of ActA. Further analysis using site-specific mutations located in either the C-terminal region of LaXp180 or the proline-rich motif of PRR3 of ActA showed that three positively charged amino acids in LaXp180 and two negatively charged amino acids in ActA are critical for the interaction of the two proteins.     

The Uba2 and Ufd1 proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae interact with poly(A) polymerase and affect the polyadenylation activity of cell extracts

Poly(A) polymerase is responsible for the addition of the adenylate tail to the 3′ ends of mRNA. Using the two-hybrid system, we have identified two proteins which interact specifically with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae poly(A) polymerase, Pap1. Uba2 is a homolog of ubiquitin-activating (E1) enzymes and Ufd1 is a protein whose function is probably also linked to the ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation pathway. These two proteins interact with Pap1 and with each other, but not with eight other target proteins which were tested in the two-hybrid system. The last 115 amino acids of Uba2, which contains an 82-amino acid region not present in previously characterized E1 enzymes, is sufficient for the interaction with Pap1. Both Uba2 and Ufd1 can be co-immunoprecipitated from extracts with Pap1, confirming in vitro the interaction identified by two-hybrid analysis. Depletion of Uba2 from cells produces extracts which polyadenylate precursor RNA with increased efficiency compared to extracts from nondepleted cells, while depletion of Ufd1 yields extracts which are defective in processing. These two proteins are not components of polyadenylation factors, and instead may have a role in regulating poly(A) polymerase activity. Received: 6 January 1997 / Accepted: 27 February 1997
