Trap RACK1 with Ras to mobilize Src signaling at syndecan-2/p120-GAP upon transformation with oncogenic ras.
HiTrap-syndecan-2/p120-GAP and HiTrap-syndecan-2/RACK1 affinity columns were applied to reveal that Src tyrosine kinase was highly expressed in BALB/3T3 cells transfected with plasmids pcDNA3.1-[S-ras(Q(61)K)] of shrimp Penaeus japonicus. Both columns were effective to isolate Src tyrosine kinase. The selective molecular affinity for Src was found to be stronger with HiTrap-syndecan-2/RACK1, as revealed with competitive RACK1 to dislodge Src from HiTrap-syndecan-2/p120-GAP. We thus challenged the syndecan-2/p120-GAP and syndecan-2/RACK1 with GTP-K(B)-Ras(Q(61)K). The reaction between RACK1 and syndecan-2 was sustained in the presence of mutant Ras proteins, but not the reaction between p120-GAP and syndecan-2. In the presence of syndecan-2, GTP-K(B)-Ras(Q(61)K) exhibited sufficient reactivity with p120-GAP to discontinue the reaction between p120-GAP and syndecan-2. But the interference of mutant Ras disappeared when Src tyrosine kinase was introduced to stabilize the syndecan-2/p120-GAP complex. On the other hand, in the absence of syndecan-2, GTP-K(B)-Ras(Q(61)K) was found to react with RACK1. The reaction between GTP-K(B)-Ras(Q(61)K) and RACK1 could provide a mechanism to deprive RACK1 for the organization of syndecan-2/RACK1 complex and to facilitate the formation of syndecan-2/p120-GAP complex, as well as to provide docking sites for Src signaling upon transformation with oncogenic ras.[1]References
