Keywords: intersectin 1, isoform, homodimer. Introduction. Intersectin 1 (ITSN1) is a widely expres- sed cytosolic, multidomain scaffold protein, which is conserved from worms to humans. This protein coordi- nates several pathways controlling clathrin-mediated endocytosis as well as exocytosis. Initially the role of ITSN1 in endocytosis was de- monstrated at invagination and fission stages [1, 2]. Re- cently, ITSN1 has been shown to participate in other processes including the determination of cell polarity, cell cycle progression [3], mitogenic signalling [4] and cell survival [5] through the activation of the PI3K- AKT pathway [5]. Previously, two major ITSN1 isoforms were descri- bed: the ubiquitously expressed short isoform (ITSN1- s) and the long isoform (ITSN1-l), which are predomi- nantly expressed in brain [6]. ITSN1-s possesses two EH (Eps15 homology) domains at the N-terminus, fol- lowed by a coiled-coil region (CCR) and five SH3 do- mains (Src homology domains A-E). ITSN1-l additio- nally contains a C-terminal extension consisting of a conserved tandem DH (Dbl homology) and PH (Pleks- trin homology) domains, and a C2 domain [6]. Protein interactions of these ITSN1 isoforms were extensively studied during last decade (reviewed in [7]). Splicing affecting 5' UTR of ITSN1 transcripts was also shown [8]. Recently we have identified a novel isoform of ITSN1 that possess unique C-terminal domain instead of four last SH3 domains on its C-terminus [9]. This iso- form is produced by inclusion of the alternative exon 22a. ITSN1-22a migrated in SDS-PAGE as two immu- noreactive bands. Here we report that recently identifi- 306 ISSN 0233–7657.

Materials and methods. Antibodies. Polyclonal antibodies against the EH2 domain of ITSN1 [10] and anti-CTD antibodies [9] were described previously. Monoclonal anti-Omni (D-8, sc-7270) antibody was pur- chased from «Santa Cruz Biotechnology» (USA). DNA constructs. Constructs encoding Omni- ITSN1-22a, Omni-ITSN1-22a∆86, GST-SH3A-CTD and GST-SH3A-CTD∆39 were described previously [9]. Site-directed mutagenesis was carried out with reverse primer 5'-atgcggccgctcacaagtaatggggaagaGC gagataaaaaGCaccaa-3'. Protein expression, pull-down assays and Western blot analysis were conducted as described previously [9]. Cell culture and transfection. HEK293 cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10 % fetal calf serum, 50 U/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin. The cells were transiently transfected using polyethylenimine transfection reagent (JetPEI, Polyplus Transfection) and processed 24 to 36 h after transfection. Immunoprecipitation. For immunoprecipitation (IP) cells were lysed in IP buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.5 % NP40, 100 mM NaCl, 10 % glycerol, 1 mM PMSF and protease inhibitor cocktail). HEK293 cell lysate was mixed with antibodies and protein A/G. Af- ter overnight incubation at 4 °C the beads were washed three times with IP buffer. Bound proteins were eluted by boiling in Laemmli sample buffer and analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Inhibition of endocytosis. Endocytosis was inhi- bied by potassium depletion [10]. Cells were washed twice with depletion buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.14 M NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, and 1 g/l D- glucose). Subsequently, the cells were incubated for 5 min with a hypotonic buffer consisting of one part de- pletion buffer and one part H2O. Then, the cells were in- cubated for a further 30 min in depletion buffer at 37 °C. Control cells were incubated with the same buffer sup- plemented with 10 mM KCl. Results and discussion. To investigate functional features of ITSN1-22a isoform, a construct encoding Omni-tagged ITSN1-22a (Fig. 1, А) was expressed in HEK293 cells. Western blot analysis of ITSN1-22a im- munoprecipitates obtained with anti-Omni antibody re- vealed a major band of 116 kDa and an additional band of approximately doubled size (250 kDa). In similar ex- periments performed with ITSN1 short isoform, Omni- ITSN1-s appeared as a single band with the expected molecular weight of 136 kDa (Fig. 1, B). At the same time truncated Omni-ITSN1-22a∆86 mutant (110 kDa) lacking the last 86 amino acids did not produce band of higher molecular weight (Fig. 1, B). From this obser- vation we assumed that ITSN1-22a is able to form di- mers. However, it was not clear weather ITSN-22a forms homodimer or heterodimer with other protein of similar molecular weight. To exclude the presence of eukaryotic cell components we expressed the C-termi- nal region of ITSN1-22a in Escherichia coli. The GST- fusion protein containing SH3A domain and the C-ter- minal domain of ITSN1-22a (GST-SH3A-CTD) was purified from E. coli and visualized in Western blot as two bands with apparent molecular weight of 60 and 120 kDa (Fig. 1, C). Given that the bacterially expres- sed C-terminal part of ITSN1-22a was able to produce dimer we suggested that homodimerization occurs ra- ther than heterodimerization. To specify more precise- ly region engaged in dimerization we prepared trun- cated form of GST-SH3A-CTD lacking 39 residues at 170 130 100 IP: Omni-ITSN1-22a Omni-ITSN1-22a∆86 Omni-ITSN1-s + + + + + Omni-ITSN1-22a dimer Omni-ITSN1-s Omni-ITSN1-22a monomer Omni-ITSN1-22a∆86 B 120 56 Dimer Monomer WB: anti-CTD WB: anti-EH2 C Omni-ITSN1-22a Omni-ITSN1-22a)86 GST-SH3A-CTD GST-SH3A-CT∆D39 EH2 EH2 SH3ACCR CTD Omni EH2 EH2 CCR CTD Omni CTD GST CTD GST A 1 2 kDa kDa 1 2 SH3A SH3A SH3A Fig. 1. Novel isoform of ITSN1 adaptor forms dimer in vivo: A – schematic representation of recombinant proteins used in this study; B – HEK293 cells expressing Omni-ITSN1-s, Omni-ITSN1-22a and ITSN1-22a∆86 were lysed 24 h after transfection; cell lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-Omni antibody or normal mouse serum (NMS) as a negative control followed by immunobloting with anti-EH2 antibodies; C – GST-SH3A-CTD and GST-SH3A- CTD∆39 were expressed in E. coli and affinity purified; recombinant proteins were immunoblotted with anti-CTD antibodies C-terminus (SH3A-CTD∆39). Western blot analysis demonstrated that SH3A-CTD∆39 did not form dimers (Fig. 1, C). Thus, the C-terminal residues of ITSN1-22a are supposed to be responsible for the formation of ho- modimers. We suggested that disulphide bonds could be en- gaged in homodimerization of ITSN1-22a. Non-cova- lent protein-protein interactions are unlikely given that ITSN1-22a dimer sustained prolonged boiling. Boiling of ITSN1-22a with mercaptoethanol during 30 min did not affected the amount of dimer significantly reducing it less than in 20 % of cases (data not shown). Homo- dimers formed by disulphide bonds could be extremely stable against mercaptoethanol [11–13]. Three cystei- nes were found within 39 C-terminal residues that con- tained clustering signal. The residue C1016 is conser- ved in all mammals whereas C990 and C1019 are spe- cific only for primates (data not shown). To assess a possible role of the cysteines C1016 and C1019 in ho- modimerization, we substituted alanines for these resi- dues (ITSN1-22aCA). Fig. 2 shows that the mutations significantly decreased the amount of dimerized form of ITSN1-22aCA in comparison with wild type ITSN1- 22a. However, these substitutions did not abolish dimerization completely (Fig. 2). Presumably, C990 is also able of forming disulphide bonds, however, its im- pact on dimerization is moderate in comparison with C1016 and C1019. We investigated cellular processes in which dime- rization could occur. As ITSN1 is a well-established endocytic protein we studied whether the formation of ITSN1-22a dimer depends on the endocytic activity. Our data (Fig. 3, A) indicated that dimerization of ITSN1-22a was not affected by inhibition of endocy- tosis and disruption of endocytic sites by potassium depletion. The dimerization of ITSN1-22a was also in- dependent on mitogenic stimulation of HEK293 cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) (Fig. 3, B). Thus, the obtained data demonstrate that the novel isoform of ITSN1 adaptor ITSN1-22a is capable to form homodimers due to the C-terminal clustering sig- nal. Previously, Guipponi et al. proposed the coiled-co- il region of ITSN1 molecule as putative oligomeriza- tion signal [14], however, so far there are no published data confirming this interaction. The CTD of ITSN1- 22a is responsible for this isoform homodimerization signal. The dimerization of ITSN1-22a is not regulated during clathrin-mediated endocytosis or signaling from EGFR. The physiological significance of ITSN1-22a dimers remains a challenge for future investigations. М. В. Дер гай, О. В. Дер гай, Л. О. Циба, О. В. Но во хаць ка, І. Я. Скрипкіна, А. В.
