Syntenin-1 (SDCBP)

The protein contains 298 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 32444 Da.

 

Multifunctional adapter protein involved in diverse array of functions including trafficking of transmembrane proteins, neuro and immunomodulation, exosome biogenesis, and tumorigenesis (PubMed:26291527). Positively regulates TGFB1-mediated SMAD2/3 activation and TGFB1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell migration in various cell types. May increase TGFB1 signaling by enhancing cell-surface expression of TGFR1 by preventing the interaction between TGFR1 and CAV1 and subsequent CAV1-dependent internalization and degradation of TGFR1 (PubMed:25893292). In concert with SDC1/4 and PDCD6IP, regulates exosome biogenesis (PubMed:22660413). Regulates migration, growth, proliferation, and cell cycle progression in a variety of cancer types (PubMed:26539120). In adherens junctions may function to couple syndecans to cytoskeletal proteins or signaling components. Seems to couple transcription factor SOX4 to the IL-5 receptor (IL5RA) (PubMed:11498591). May also play a role in vesicular trafficking (PubMed:11179419). Seems to be required for the targeting of TGFA to the cell surface in the early secretory pathway (PubMed:10230395).

CLONING

The syndecans (e.g., SDC1; 186355) are transmembrane proteoglycans that place structurally heterogeneous heparan sulfate chains at the cell surface and a highly conserved polypeptide in the cytoplasm. Versatile heparan sulfate moieties support various processes of molecular recognition, signaling, and trafficking. Grootjans et al. (1997) reported the identification of a protein that binds to the cytoplasmic domains of the syndecans in yeast 2-hybrid screens and other assays. This protein, designated syntenin, contains a tandem repeat of PDZ domains that reacts with the FYA (phe-tyr-ala) C-terminal amino acid sequence of the syndecans. Proteins produced by fusion of green fluorescent protein and syntenin colocalized to plasma membranes and intracellular vesicles with syndecans. Cells that overexpress the fusion protein showed numerous cell surface extensions, suggesting effects of syntenin on cytoskeleton-membrane organization. Grootjans et al. (1997) proposed that syntenin may function as an adaptor that couples syndecans to cytoskeletal proteins or cytosolic downstream signal-effectors. Fernandez-Larrea et al. (1999) used the 2-hybrid screen to identify pro-TGF-alpha (190170) cytoplasmic domain-binding proteins, which they referred to as TACIPs (pro-TGF-alpha cytoplasmic domain-interacting proteins), involved in the trafficking of pro-TGF-alpha. They cloned 2 such proteins, TACIP1 and TACIP18, both of which showed a lack of interaction with a pro-TGF-alpha C-terminal mutant that does not reach the cell surface. TACIP1 and TACP18 are identical to the PDZ proteins alpha-1-syntrophin (601017) and syntenin, respectively. Fernandez-Larrea et al. (1999) noted that TACIP18/syntenin had also been identified as melanoma differentiation-associated gene-9, or MDA9, by Lin et al. (1998).

GENE FUNCTION

PDZ domains are known to bind to the C terminus of a variety of transmembrane proteins. Accordingly, Fernandez-Larrea et al. (1999) demonstrated that the PDZ domains of TACIP1 and TACIP18 are responsible for the interaction with the cytoplasmic domain of pro-TGF-alpha. Analysis of a panel of pro-TGF-alpha C-terminal mutants showed that mutations that prevented the binding to TACIP1, but not to TACIP18, did not disrupt the transport of pro-TGF-alpha to the cell surface in vivo. Furthermore, the cytoplasmic domain of syndecan-2 (142460), which is also known to bind TACIP18, efficiently replaces that of pro-TGF-alpha, since pro-TGF-alpha/syndecan chimeric molecules were transported to the cell surface with normal kinetics. Mutations that prevented the binding of TACIP18 to the cytoplasmic domain of syndecans also interfered with the normal trafficking of pro-TGF-alpha/syndecan chimeras, further supporting a role for TACIP18 in the trafficking of pro-TGF-alpha. Unlike the majority of PDZ proteins, which localize near the plasma membrane, TACIP18 localizes early in the secretory pathway. In vivo, TACIP18 specifically interacted with immature pro-TGF-alpha in a perinuclear area that colocalizes with endoplasmic reticulum markers. The interleukin-5 (IL5; 147850) receptor consists of the IL5-specific alpha subunit (IL5RA; 147851) and the signal-transducing beta-subunit, CFS2RB (138981), which is shared with IL3 (147740) and GMCSF (138960). Using a yeast 2-hybrid screen of a granulocyte cDNA library with the cytoplasmic domain of IL5RA as bait, Geijsen et al. (2001) identified an interaction of IL5RA with syntenin. GST pull-down, ...
