Abstract
Erbin contains a class I PDZ domain that binds to the C-terminal region of the receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2, a class II ligand. The crystal structure of the human Erbin PDZ bound to the peptide EYLGLDVPV corresponding to the C-terminal residues 1247-1255 of human ErbB2 has been determined at 1.25-A resolution. The Erbin PDZ deviates from the canonical PDZ fold in that it contains a single alpha-helix. The isopropyl group of valine at position -2 of the ErbB2 peptide interacts with the Erbin Val(1351) and displaces the peptide backbone away from the alpha-helix, elucidating the molecular basis of class II ligand recognition by a class I PDZ domain. Strikingly, the phenolic ring of tyrosine -7 enters into a pocket formed by the extended beta 2-beta 3 loop of the Erbin PDZ. Phosphorylation of tyrosine -7 abolishes this interaction but does not affect the binding of the four C-terminal peptidic residues to PDZ, as revealed by the crystal structure of the Erbin PDZ complexed with a phosphotyrosine-containing ErbB2 peptide. Since phosphorylation of tyrosine -7 plays a critical role in ErbB2 function, the selective binding and sequestration of this residue in its unphosphorylated state by the Erbin PDZ provides a novel mechanism for regulation of the ErbB2-mediated signaling and oncogenicity.

Figure 3. ERBIN interacts preferentially with the non-activated HER1/2 receptor. a, HER1/2 was transiently co-expressed with Myc-tagged ERBIN, SAP97 and PSD-95 in COS-1 cells. HER1/2 was immunoprecipitated (IP) with anti-EGFR antibody (clone 108) and bound proteins were revealed by immunoblotting (IB) with anti-Myc and anti-ERBB2 antibodies, respectively. Only ERBIN is associated with HER1/2. b, HER1/2 and EGFR were transiently co-expressed with ERBIN in COS-1 cells. Equal amounts of ERBIN and receptors are found in the lysates (data not shown). Receptors were immunoprecipitated by anti-EGFR antibody, bound proteins were western blotted and revealed with anti-ERBIN and anti-receptor antibodies. Only HER1/2 interacts with ERBIN. As a control, p52 SHC protein is increasingly co-immunoprecipitated with HER1/2 and EGFR after EGF stimulation. c, HER1/2 and EGFR were transiently expressed in COS-1 cells. GST pull down assays were performed using purified GST -SHC PTB or GST -ERBIN PDZ domains bound on agarose beads. Precipitated proteins were revealed by western blot analysis using anti-PY antibody (upper panels). After stripping, membranes were revealed with anti-ERBB2 and anti-EGFR antibodies, respectively (anti-RTK). While only phosphorylated receptors bind to the SHC PTB domain, unphosphorylated HER1/2 interacts with the ERBIN PDZ domain. d, HER1/2 containing a mutation of the C-terminal valine (mutant VA) or a kinase-dead HER1/2 (mutant KA) were expressed in COS-1 cells and interaction with GST fusion proteins was tested as described in c. e, Myc-tagged ERBIN was co-expressed with HER1/2 in COS cells. After lysis, anti-Myc or anti-SHC antibodies were used for immunoprecipitation. After western blotting, the membrane was successively probed with anti-ERBB2, anti-PY and anti-Myc antibodies, respectively. The white arrow shows unphosphorylated HER1/2 receptor co-immunoprecipitated with ERBIN in the top panel. The arrowheads point to phosphorylated HER1/2 interacting with SHC proteins in the top and middle panels. Note the slower migration of phosphorylated HER1/2 (arrowhead) compared to the unphosphorylated HER1/2 in the upper panel. In the middle and bottom panels, an asterisk indicates the position of Myc-ERBIN. SHC proteins (p52 and p46 SHC) are indicated at the bottom of the gel. ERBIN is phosphorylated by HER1/2 but interacts preferentially with the unphosphorylated receptor, in contrast to SHC proteins. f, As in e but a kinase-dead HER1/2 (HER1/2. KA) was also co-expressed with Myc-ERBIN. ERBIN is tyrosine phosphorylated when co-expressed with HER1/2 but not HER1/2. KA (bottom panel). Lysates were also run on SDS -PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose and revealed with anti-Myc (top panel) and anti-ERBB2 (middle panel) antibodies. g, HER1/2 was co-expressed with Myc-tagged wild-type ERBIN or ERBIN lacking its PDZ domain ( PDZ). Deletion of the PDZ domain inhibits interaction with HER1/2 and decreases ERBIN tyrosine phosphorylation.

Figure 4. Basolateral localization of ERBIN and ERBB2 in human colon. a, Semi-thin frozen sections of human colon were double-stained with antibodies against ERBIN and an apical marker, CEA, or a basolateral marker, Ag525. Apical (AP) and basolateral (Bl) membranes are indicated by arrowheads and arrows respectively. The location of the basement membrane (BM) is also indicated. ERBIN co-localizes with Ag525 on the basolateral membrane. b, Semi-thin frozen sections of human colon were double-labelled with antibodies against ERBIN and ERBB2. Both proteins are localized on the basolateral membrane (Bl) and are absent from the apical membrane (AP). Scale bars represent 5 µm. c, Cell fractioning was carried out on Caco-2 cells and cytosolic (Cyt) and membrane (Mbr) fractions were subjected to western blot analysis with anti-ERBIN and anti-SHC antibodies. Whereas SHC proteins are mainly cytosolic (arrowhead), ERBIN is found in the membrane fraction (asterisk). d, Proteins of Caco-2 cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-ERBIN (E) or preimmune serum (not shown) or a control rabbit antibody (anti-STK-1) (C) and precipitated proteins were resolved by western blot. Anti-ERBB2 and anti-ERBIN antibodies were used to probe the membrane. Co-immunoprecipitation between ERBB2 and ERBIN was evidenced only when anti-ERBIN antibody was used for immunoprecipitation. One-tenth of the Caco-2 lysate was run as control (TL).

Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Phage-selected peptides bind specifically to the Erbin PDZ domain in vitro, as do protein ligands predicted from their consensus sequences. A, the Erbin PDZ domain and six control PDZ domains were expressed in HEK 293 cells as GFP (indicated by asterisks) or GST fusions, and extracts were made from each. Biotinylated versions of peptides phage-selected for high affinity binding to either the MAGI-3 PDZ2 domain (ATQITWV-COOH) or the Erbin PDZ domain (TGWETWV-COOH) were tested for their ability to precipitate the various PDZ domains. Each peptide specifically precipitated only the PDZ domain against which it was selected. A single substitution of Glu for Ile at position 3 of the MAGI-3 PDZ2 domain-specific peptide produced a peptide (ATQETWV-COOH) that no longer precipitated the MAGI-3 PDZ2 domain, but specifically precipitated only the Erbin PDZ domain (right lane). Peptide concentrations were 10 µM, and readout was by immunoblotting with either anti-GFP or anti-GST antibodies. B, the indicated peptides (10 µM) were assayed for their ability to precipitate Erbin from Caco-2 cell extracts. Immunoblot (IB) analysis with the indicated antibodies showed that Erbin was precipitated with a peptide ending in ETWV, but not ITWV. Similar to Erbin, LIN7-3 has a single PDZ domain, but was not precipitated by either peptide. C, potential protein ligands for the Erbin PDZ domain were expressed in HEK 293 cells and assayed for their ability to be precipitated by 3 µg of E. coli cell-expressed GST-Erbin PDZ domain fusion protein. The expressed proteins were as follows: ARVCF and -catenin ( -cat), the previously reported putative Erbin PDZ ligand HER2, and the negative controls -catenin c6 and -catenin. For immunoblot analysis with the indicated antibodies, 1% of the precipitated extracts or 30% of the precipitated protein was used. D, precipitation of -catenin or HER2 by 6 µg of E. coli cell-expressed GST-Erbin PDZ domain fusion protein could be efficiently blocked by co-incubation with a phage-selected peptide (TGWETWV-COOH) that binds the Erbin PDZ domain with high affinity, but not by a control peptide (ATQITWV-COOH). Note that 1 µM peptide was approximately a 3-fold molar excess over the Erbin PDZ domain. Immunoblot analysis showed the relative amounts of -catenin or HER2 precipitated by the GST-Erbin PDZ domain fusion protein in the absence or presence of varying concentrations of the indicated peptide.

Fig. 3. Endogenous interaction of Erbin and -catenin in brain. A, cultured hippocampal neurons (right panels) or a section of rat cerebral cortex (left panels) was double-labeled with a monoclonal antibody directed against -catenin and polyclonal antibodies directed against Erbin to assess the level of co-localization for these proteins. Arrowheads point out dendritic shafts of pyramidal neurons in cortex (left panels) and dendritic shafts of cultured hippocampal neurons (right panels). B, E. coli cell-expressed GST-Erbin PDZ domain fusion protein (3 µg) and a control GST-PDZ domain fusion protein (3 µg) were assayed for the ability to precipitate, from mouse brain extracts, endogenous -catenin and proteins with which -catenin is know to associate. Precipitated proteins were analyzed by immunoblotting. C, HEK 293 cells were cotransfected or tri-transfected with the indicated constructs, and the ability of E. coli cell-expressed GST-Erbin PDZ domain fusion protein to precipitate -catenin-associated proteins was analyzed by immunoblotting (IB). The results show that the association of E-cadherin (E-cad) with -catenin was direct (left panels), whereas the association with -catenin ( -cat) was indirect and required E-cadherin (left and right panels) and, finally, that precipitation of this complex by the Erbin PDZ domain required the C terminus of -catenin. D, -catenin and p120 catenin (p120^ctn) were immunoprecipitated with 5 µg of each antibody from 0.5 mg of mouse brain extract. An equal volume of the extract (ex) and the post-immunoprecipitation (IP) depleted extract (dex) and 50% of the precipitated protein (p) were analyzed by immunoblotting. Erbin co-immunoprecipitated only with -catenin, but not with the related family member p120 catenin. E, co-immunoprecipitation of Erbin with -catenin was disrupted by preincubating the brain extract with the Erbin PDZ domain-binding peptide TGWETWV-COOH, but not with the negative control peptide TGWETWA-COOH, at the indicated concentrations prior to immunoprecipitation. Mab, monoclonal antibody.

Fig. 1. Binding of ErbB2 with Erbin in yeast. A, interaction of Erbin with ErbB2 depended on the PDZ domain in the C terminus. The domain structure of Erbin is shown in the schematic diagram. Erbin965 and Erbin1254 are original clones isolated from a yeast two-hybrid screen encoding the C termini starting from the indicated amino acid residue. Erbin195 PDZ encoded Erbin amino acid residues 195-1279 without the PDZ domain. Densin-180/PDZ encoded amino acid residues 1161-1495 containing the PDZ domain. PSD-95/PDZ contains amino acid residues 65-393 with all three PDZ domains. These constructs were fused with the Gal4AD and cotransformed with Gal4DB/ErbB2-DVPV* in yeast. Asterisks indicate amino acid residues prior to the stop codon. B, dependence of the interaction between ErbB2 and Erbin on the ErbB2 C terminus. Yeast cells were cotransformed with a vector encoding the Gal4DB fused to different ErbB2 C-terminal constructs and Gal4AD/Erbin. C, interaction between Erbin with C termini of ErbBs or NR2A. Yeast cells were cotransformed with Erbin and ErbB2 C-terminal constructs. Transformed yeast cells were seeded in His plates and scored for growth and for -galactosidase ( -Gal) activity.

Fig. 8. Erbin expression in the PSD and interaction with ErbB2 in the central nervous system. A, expression of Erbin in various brain regions. Homogenates (100 µg of protein) were resolved on SDS-PAGE and subjected to Western blot using the anti-Erbin antibody. B, expression of Erbin in PSD. Rat brain homogenates (H) were subjected to sequential centrifugations to yield cytosol (S2) and synaptosomes (P2). Washed synaptosomes (P3) were fractionated further by discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation to generate synaptosomal plasma membrane (SPM) which was treated with 0.4% Triton X-100. The insoluble SPM was designated as PSD. Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and subjected to immunoblotting with the respective antibodies. C, interaction between Erbin and ErbB2 in the central nervous system. Rat brain synaptosomes were solubilized with 1% deoxycholate. The resulting detergent extract (Input) was incubated with preimmune serum or antibodies against Erbin. Immunoprecipitates (IP) were resolved on SDS-PAGE and subjected to immunoblotting (IB) for ErbB2. 10 times of input were used for immunoprecipitations.

Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Binding specificity of the ERBIN PDZ domain. A, the last 15 carboxyl-terminal amino acids found in ERBB2 (wild type or mutants) were fused to the LexA-BD and co-transformed in L40 yeast with GAL4-AD ERBIN (1240-1371) referred as the ERBIN PDZ domain. Co-transformed yeast were plated on Trp-Leu-His medium containing 10 mM 3-AT. + means growth on the selective medium ( His) and positive -galactosidase activity ( gal). Asterisks point to the residues important for ERBB2/ERBIN interaction. Mutated residues are underlined. B, HER1/2 (chimera EGF-R/ERBB2) wild type (WT) and mutant were transiently expressed in COS cells and pulled down with GST-ERBIN PDZ domain. Bound receptors were revealed with anti-ERBB2 antibody after Western blot (upper panel). Mutation of the carboxyl-terminal valine (VA), aspartic residue in 3 position (mut-3), leucine in 4 position (mut-4), tyrosine in 7 position (mut-7), and deletion of the last 6 residues in ERBB2 ( 6) abrogate the ERBB2/ERBIN interaction. Lysates were run, transferred on nitrocellulose, and probed with anti-ERBB2 to show a comparable expression of receptors (lower panel). C, direct interaction between the ERBIN PDZ domain and ERBB2, Kv1.4, NR2C, and NR2B peptides. The last 9 amino acids of the mentioned proteins were fused to the GST protein, Western-blotted, and probed with soluble 32P-labeled GST-ERBIN PDZ domain or GST (data not shown) fusion proteins. Bound proteins were revealed by autoradiography. No binding was found with GST alone (data not shown). Red Ponceau staining showed that similar amounts of GST proteins were loaded (data not shown). D, sequence of the carboxyl terminus of four putative ERBIN-interacting proteins.

Fig. 2. Mutations within the ERBIN PDZ domain modulate the ERBB2/ERBIN interaction. A, sequence of the mouse ERBIN PDZ domain. An arrow points to a conserved histidine found in the B helix of class I PDZ domains but not in NOS and class II PDZ domains (data not shown). Mutations of His-Gly to Tyr-Asp as in NOS (mutant YD) and His to Leu as in class II PDZ domains (mutant HL) were engineered by site-directed mutagenesis. B, same as in Fig. 1A. Effects of mutations within ERBB2 and the ERBIN PDZ domain were tested by two-hybrid in yeast. C, in the left panel, the experiment is same as panel B using increasing amount of 3-aminotriazole. In the right panel, a pull-down assay was performed on HER1/2 expressing lysates with GST-ERBIN PDZ wild type (WT) and mutant (HL and YD). The interaction with HER1/2 was revealed by anti-ERBB2 antibody. Ponceau Red staining shows that equal amounts of GST proteins were used.
