Disease relevance of BAIAP2

  • Five proteins including IRSp53 and missing in metastasis (MIM) protein share this unique domain and are highly conserved in vertebrates [1].
  • 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 [2].
  • We found that although Salmonella infection strongly promotes the formation of an IRSp53/WAVE2 complex, IRSp53 is not necessary for bacterial internalization [3].
  • The biological roles of BAP2 propeptide and mature peptide have been investigated by heterologous expression of the proprotein in Escherichia coli, and by tests of its fungistatic activity and that of the fully processed form in vitro [4].
 

High impact information on BAIAP2

 

Biological context of BAIAP2

  • Using its intracellular carboxyl terminus as "bait" in a yeast two-hybrid system, we isolated a cDNA clone named BAIAP2 whose nucleotide sequence would encode a 521-amino acid protein showing significant homology to a 58/53-kDa substrate of insulin-receptor kinase in the hamster [8].
  • In vitro binding assays confirmed that a proline-rich cytoplasmic fragment of BAI1 interacted with the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain of BAIAP2 [8].
  • IRS-58 is a brain-enriched protein comprising at least four protein-protein interaction sites: a Cdc42Hs binding site, an Src homology (SH)3-binding site, an SH3 domain, and a tryptophan, tyrptophan (WW)-binding domain [9].
  • 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 [2].
  • Our analysis of IRSp58/53 mRNA suggests that within rat brain there is one coding region for IRSp58 and IRSp53; we find no evidence of alternative splicing [10].
 

Anatomical context of BAIAP2

 

Associations of BAIAP2 with chemical compounds

  • IRSp53 and BAIAP2 have independently been isolated as a 58/53-kDa protein tyrosine phosphorylated in response to insulin and a BAI1-binding protein, respectively [12].
  • A proline-rich region near the polyglutamine tract of the DRPLA protein and the SH3 domain of IRSp53 were involved in the binding [13].
