title: A functional interaction between CPI-17 and RACK1 proteins in bronchial smooth muscle cells.
abstract: CPI-17 is a phosphorylation-dependent inhibitor of smooth muscle myosin light chain. Using yeast two-hybrid system, we have identified the receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) as a novel interaction partner of CPI-17. The direct interaction and co-localization of CPI-17 with RACK1 were confirmed by immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy analysis, respectively. An in vitro assay system using recombinant/purified proteins revealed that the PKC-mediated phosphorylation of CPI-17 was augmented in the presence of RACK1. These results suggest that RACK1 may play a role in PKC/CPI-17 signaling pathway.
