Expression of the are homology 3 (SH3) domain-containing expressed in tumorigenic astrocytes (SETA) gene is associated with the tumorigenic state in astrocytes. SETA encodes a variety of adapter proteins containing either one or two SH3 domains, as suggested by the sequence heterogeneity of isolated cDNAs, Using both SH3 domains in a yeast two-hybrid screen of a glial progenitor cell cDNA library, we isolated the rat homolog of the ALG-2-interacting protein 1 or ALG-2-interacting protein X (AIP1/Alix), In vitro confrontation experiments showed that the SH3-N domain of SETA interacted with the proline-rich C terminus of AIP1, In co-immunoprecipitation experiments, SETA and AIP1 interacted and could form a complex with apoptosis-linked gene 2 protein, Endogenous SETA and AIP1 proteins showed similar patterns of staining in primary rat astrocytes, Misexpression of a variety of SETA protein isoforms in these astrocytes revealed that they localized to the actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, SETA proteins containing the SH3-N domain were able to sensitize astrocytes to apoptosis induced by UV irradiation. Expression of the isolated SH3-N domain had the greatest effect in these experiments, indicating that interference in the interaction between endogenous SETA and AIP1 sensitizes astrocytes to apoptosis in response to DNA damage.
