The downstream of kinase (Dok) family of adapter proteins consists of at least five members structurally characterized by an NH₂-terminal tandem of conserved pleckstrin homology and phosphotyrosine binding domains linked to a unique COOH-terminal region. To determine the role of the novel adapter protein Dok-4 in endothelial cells, we first investigated the cell localization of Dok-4. Most surprisingly, immunofluorescence microscopy, cell fractionation studies, and studies with enhanced green fluorescent protein chimeras showed that wild type Dok-4 (Dok-4-WT) specifically localized in mitochondria. An NH₂-terminal deletion mutant of Dok-4 (Dok-4-(N11-29)), which lacks the mitochondrial targeting sequence, could not accumulate in mitochondria. Co-immunoprecipitation revealed an interaction of c-Src with Dok-4-WT in endothelial cells. Most interestingly, overexpression of Dok-4-WT, but not Dok-4-(N1-99), increased mitochondrial c-Src expression, whereas knock-down of endogenous Dok-4 with a small interfering RNA vector greatly inhibited mitochondrial localization of c-Src, suggesting a unique function for Dok-4 as an anchoring protein for c-Src in mitochondria. Dok-4-WT significantly decreased 39-kDa subunit complex I expression. PP2, a specific Src kinase inhibitor, prevented the Dok-4-mediated complex I decrease, suggesting the involvement of Src kinase in regulation of complex I expression. Dok-4-WT enhanced tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-)-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, supporting the functional relevance of a Dok-4-Src-complex I/ROS signaling pathway in mitochondria. Finally, Dok-4 enhanced TNF--mediated NF-B activation, whereas this was inhibited by transfection with Dok-4 small interfering RNA. In addition, Dok-4-induced NF-B activation was also inhibited by transfection of a dominant negative form of c-Src. These data suggest a role for mitochondrial Dok-4 as an anchoring molecule for the tyrosine kinase c-Src, and in turn as a regulator of TNF--mediated ROS production and NF-B activation.
