Interaction of Cupidin/Homer2 with two actin cytoskeletal regulators, Cdc42 small GTPase and Drebrin, in dendritic spines

Abstract: Background: Homer is a postsynaptic scaffold protein that links various synaptic signaling proteins, including the type I metabotropic glutamate receptor subunits 1α and 5, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, Shank and Cdc42 small GTPase. Overexpression of Homer induces changes in dendritic spine morphology in cultured hippocampal neurons. However, the molecular basis underpinning Homer-mediated spine morphogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the structural and functional prope… Show more

“…The loss of agonist-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation by the mGluR1a-P1148L mutant is consistent with recent reports that Homer1a may contribute in part to the coupling of mGluR1a to the activation of ERK1/2 (Mao et al, 2005). The mechanism by which the P1148L mutation leads to increased filopodia formation is unclear, but Homer proteins may contribute to the regulation of actin dynamics through their interactions with the actin cytoskeletal regulatory proteins Cdc42 and Drebin (Shiraishi-Yamaguchi et al, 2009).…”

“…However, no clear functional differences have been described between these two isoforms . Drebrin regulates neuronal actin dynamics and plasticity Kobayashi et al, 2004;Sekino et al, 2007;Shiraishi-Yamaguchi et al, 2009) binding to F-actin with high affinity, thereby competing with proteins such as fascin, a-actinin and tropomyosin Sasaki et al, 1996). Binding of drebrin to F-actin also facilitates the recruitment of other regulatory proteins such as gelsolin.…”

“…For example, Shank interacts with a-fodrin (Böckers et al, 2001), cortactin (Hering and Sheng, 2003) and Abp1 (Qualmann et al, 2004), proteins that bind to F-actin. Homer proteins were also reported to bind F-actin (Shiraishi et al, 1999) and drebrin (Shiraishi-Yamaguchi et al, 2009). Interestingly, scaffolding proteins with mutations in their binding motifs to other PSD partners (for example disruption of GKAP-Shank interaction) can still be targeted to the postsynapse but are less stable and more dependent on F-actin, highlighting once again the importance of scaffold interactions with the cytoskeleton and emphasising the need to interact with scaffolding partners to stabilize the protein complexes in the PSD (Kuriu et al, 2006).…”
