A novel, retinoic acid-induced gene, <(GR)under bar>P1-associated (s) under bar caffold (p) under bar rotein (GRASP), was isolated from P19 embryonal carcinoma cells using a subtractive screening strategy. GRASP was found to be highly expressed in brain and exhibited lower levels of expression in lung, heart, embryo, kidney, and ovary. The predicted amino acid sequence of GRASP is characterized by several putative protein-protein interaction motifs, suggesting that GRASP may be a component of a larger protein complex in the cell. Although GRASP does not harbor a predicted membrane spanning domain(s), the protein was observed to be associated with the plasma membrane of transiently transfected mammalian cells. Yeast two-hybrid screening revealed that GRASP interacted strongly with the (G) under bar eneral (R) under bar eceptor for (P) under bar hosphoinositides (1) under bar (GRP1), a brefeldin A-insensitive guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the ADP-ribosylation factor family of proteins, GRASP.GrRP1 interactions were also demonstrated in vitro and in mammalian cells in which GRASP was shown to enhance GRP1 association with the plasma membrane. Furthermore, GRASP colocalized with endogenous ADP-ribosylation factors at the plasma membrane in transfected cells, suggesting that GRASP may modulate signaling by this family of small GTPases.
