title: PSTPIP 2, a second tyrosine phosphorylated, cytoskeletal-associated protein that binds a PEST-type protein-tyrosine phosphatase.
abstract: Although cytoskeletal regulation is critical to cell function during interphase and mitosis, the components of the cytoskeleton involved with its control are only beginning to be elucidated. Recently, we reported the identification of a cytoskeletal-associated protein, proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein (PSTPIP), whose level of tyrosine phosphorylation was controlled by PEST-type protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) bound to a novel protein interaction site in the PSTPIP predicted coiled-coil domain. We also showed that the PSTPIP SH3 domain interacts with the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), a cytoskeletal regulatory protein, in a manner modulated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Here we describe the identification of PSTPIP 2, a widely expressed protein that is related to PSTPIP. PSTPIP 2 lacks an SH3 domain but contains a region predicted to bind to PEST-type PTPs, and structure-function analyses demonstrate that PSTPIP 2 interacts with the proline-rich C terminus of the PEST-type PTP hematopoietic stem cell factor in a manner similar to that previously demonstrated for PSTPIP. Confocal microscopy revealed that PSTPIP 2 colocalizes with PSTPIP in F actin-rich regions. PSTPIP 2 was found to be efficiently phosphorylated in v-Src-transfected or pervanadate-treated cells at two tyrosines conserved in PSTPIP, but in contrast to PSTPIP, tyrosine phosphorylated PSTPIP 2 was only weakly dephosphorylated in the presence of PTP HSCF. Finally, analysis of oligomer formation demonstrated that PSTPIP and PSTPIP 2 formed homo- but not heterodimers. These data suggest that a family of tyrosine phosphorylated, PEST PTP binding proteins may be implicated in cytoskeletal regulation.
