Abstract
IQ-ArfGEF/BRAG1, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Arf1 and Arf6, is localized at the postsynaptic density (PSD) and interacts with PSD-95. In this study, we identified a novel interaction of IQ-ArfGEF/BRAG1 with insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate of 53 kDa (IRSp53), also known as brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2. The interaction was mediated by the binding of the C-terminal proline-rich sequence of IQ-ArfGEF/BRAG1 to the SH3 domain of IRSp53. IQ-ArfGEF/BRAG1 and IRSp53 were colocalized at the PSD of excitatory synapses of certain neuronal populations. Our present findings suggest that IQ-ArfGEF/BRAG1 may play roles downstream of NMDA receptors through the interaction with multivalent PSD proteins such as IRSp53 and PSD-95.Entities:
