The study identified 10 additional PDZ domain proteins that interact with SST2, and further investigated SYNJ2BP. The results showed that SYNJ2BP interacts with SST2 in an agonist-dependent manner, enhancing receptor internalization and regulating downstream signaling.
The somatostatin receptor 2A (SST2) is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is expressed in neuroendocrine tissues within the gastrointestinal tract and brain, and is commonly overexpressed in many neuroendocrine tumors. Moreover, SST2 agonists are used clinically as the primary pharmacological treatment to suppress excess hormone secretion in a variety of neuroendocrine tumors. Despite its wide clinical use, mechanisms controlling the trafficking and signaling of SST2 are not fully understood. SST2 contains a C-terminal post-synaptic density 95, Drosophila discs large, zona-occludens 1 (PDZ) domain-binding motif that has been shown to interact with 3 different PDZ domain-containing proteins. However, the consequences of these interactions are not well understood, nor is it known whether additional PDZ domain proteins interact with SST2.Through unbiased screening we have identified 10 additional PDZ domain proteins that interact with SST2. We chose one of these, SYNJ2BP, for further study. We observed that SYNJ2BP interacted with SST2 in an agonist-dependent manner, and that this required the PDZ binding site of SST2. Importantly, overexpression of SYNJ2BP enhanced ligand-stimulated receptor internalization. Mechanistically, SYNJ2BP interacted with G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) and promoted GRK-dependent phosphorylation of the receptor after somatostatin stimulation. Interaction with GRK2 required the C-terminus of SYNJ2BP. Binding to SYNJ2BP did not affect the ability of SST2 to suppress 3',5'-cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate production, but was required for optimal agonist-stimulated extracellularly regulated kinase 1/2 activation. These data indicated that SYNJ2BP is an SST2 -interacting protein that modulates agonist-stimulated receptor regulation and downstream signaling.
