CARP-1, a novel apoptosis inducer, regulates apoptosis signaling by diverse agents including adriamycin and growth factors. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)-related protein (ERRP), a pan-erbB inhibitor, inhibits EGFR and stimulates apoptosis. Treatments of cells with ERRP or Iressa (an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor) results in elevated CARP-1 levels, whereas antisense-dependent depletion of CARP-1 causes inhibition of apoptosis by ERRP. CARP-1 is a tyrosine phosphorylated protein and ERRP treatments cause elevated tyrosine phosphorylation of CARP-1. CARP-1 contains multiple, non-overlapping apoptosis-inducing sub-domains; one such sub-domain is present within 1-198 amino acids. Wild-type or CARP-1 (1-198) proteins that have substitution of tyrosine192 to phenylalanine abrogate apoptosis by ERRP. In addition, apoptosis mediated by wild type or CARP-1 (1-198), and not CARP-1 (1-198Y192>F), results in activation of caspase-9, and increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. However, expression of dominant-negative forms of p38 MAPK activators MKK3 or MKK6 proteins inhibit apoptosis induced by both the full length as well as truncated (1-198) proteins. Together, data demonstrate that tyrosine192 of CARP-1 is a target of apoptosis signaling, and CARP-1 in turn, promotes apoptosis by activating p38 MAPK and caspase 9.
