Disease relevance of EPS8

  • In addition, IRSp53/Eps8 complex formation as determined by fluorescent resonance energy transfer analysis, occurs at the leading edge of motile cells, and the motility and invasiveness of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells are suppressed by inhibiting complex formation [1].
  • These results show the power of combined array CGH and SAGE analysis for the identification of candidate amplicon targets and identify H2AFJ and EPS8 as novel putative oncogenes in breast cancer [2].
 

High impact information on EPS8

  • Eps8 is a substrate of the EGFR, which is held in a complex with Sos1 by the adaptor protein E3bl (ref. 2), thereby mediating activation of Rac [3].
  • Through its src homology-3 domain, Eps8 interacts with RN-tre [3].
  • The Eps8 protein coordinates EGF receptor signalling through Rac and trafficking through Rab5 [3].
  • Eps8 (relative molecular mass 97,000) is a substrate of receptors with tyrosine kinase activity which binds, through its SH3 domain, to a protein designated E3b1/Abi-1 [4].
  • We tested this hypothesis by using a simplified model for the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 8 src homology 3 domain protein, both of whose monomeric and domain-swapped structures have been solved [5].
 

Biological context of EPS8

 

Anatomical context of EPS8

 

Associations of EPS8 with chemical compounds

  • Under physiological conditions of activation (i.e., at low receptor occupancy), corresponding to the 50% effective dose of EGF for mitogenesis, approximately 3 to 4% of the eps8 contains phosphotyrosine [7].
  • Second, integrin class-specific interactions were observed with the PTB domains of Dab, EPS8, and tensin [10].
  • It possesses a Src homology 3 (SH3) motif, proline-rich region, serine-rich region and no catalytic domain, suggesting that it seems to be a signaling protein most similar to e3B1, an eps8 SH3 binding protein [11].
  • In addition, we describe a novel interaction between palladin and Eps8, a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) substrate that participates in the activation of the Rac-specific guanine nucleotide-exchange function of Sos-1 [12].
 

Physical interactions of EPS8

  • Here we report that eps8 binds directly to the juxtamembrane region of EGFR through a domain that does not bear resemblance to SH2 domains and by a mechanism that does not require the presence of phosphotyrosine residues [13].
 

Other interactions of EPS8

  • Furthermore, RN-tre diverts Eps8 from its Rac-activating function, resulting in the attenuation of Rac signalling [3].
  • At receptor-saturating doses of EGF, approximately 30% of the eps8 pool is tyrosine phosphorylated [7].
  • Here, we search for other binding partners for the IRSp53 SH3 domain and identify Eps8 as the major binding protein in fibroblasts and various cancer cell lines [1].
  • Some molecules, such as Grb2, were primarily found associated with surface EGFR, whereas others, such as Eps8, were found only with intracellular receptors [14].
  • The pro-4/pro-5 motif of Shb binds in vitro particularly well to the Src, p85 alpha PI3-kinase and Eps8 SH3 domains expressed as GST fusion proteins [15].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of EPS8

  • No regulation of Eps8 expression in primary immature rat Sertoli cells by Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) was detected by Western blotting [16].
  • Eps8 was identified as a molecular partner for palladin in a yeast two-hybrid screen, and the interaction was confirmed biochemically in co-immunoprecipitation assays [12].
