By using the yeast two-hybrid system we identified a novel protein from the human brain interacting with the C terminus of somatostatin receptor subtype 2. This protein termed somatostatin receptor interacting protein is characterized by a novel domain structure, consisting of six N-terminal ankyrin repeats followed by SH3 and PDZ domains, several proline-rich regions, and a C-terminal sterile alpha  motif. It consists of 2185 amino acid residues encoded by a 9-kilobase pair mRNA; several splice variants have been detected in human and rat cDNA libraries. Sequence comparison suggests that the novel multidomain protein, together with cortactin-binding protein, forms a family of cytoskeletal anchoring proteins. Fractionation of rat brain membranes indicated that somatostatin receptor interacting protein is enriched in the postsynaptic density fraction. The interaction of somatostatin receptor subtype 2 with its interacting protein was verified by overlay assays and coimmunoprecipitation experiments from transfected human embryonic kidney cells. Somatostatin receptor subtype 2 and the interacting protein display a striking overlap of their expression patterns in the rat brain. Interestingly, in the hippocampus the mRNA for somatostatin receptor interacting protein was not confined to the cell bodies but was also observed in the molecular layer, suggesting a dendritic localization of this mRNA.

Targeting of neurotransmitter receptors to postsynaptic or presynaptic sites is an area that has been widely studied in recent years; a large body of evidence has accumulated showing that many receptors are anchored at their specifc site of action by specialized anchoring proteins, which may link receptors to components of the synaptic structure or the cytoskeleton (1, 2). This is true for inhibitory as well as excitatory receptors of the family of ligand-gated ion channels. For the second large family of neurotransmitter receptors, the seven transmembrane domain G-protein-coupled receptors, only very recently have some proteins been identified that may be involved in anchoring or linkage to the cytoskeleton. These include the homer proteins, which are tightly associated with metabotropic glutamate receptors via a PDZ1 domain in homer and the C terminus of the mGluRs (3). However, for the large majority of G-protein-coupled receptors, no intracellular associated proteins have been identified so far beyond those proteins which are necessary for signal transduction and functional regulation of the receptors, i.e. the G-proteins and proteins of the arrestin family (4).

We have begun to address this issue for members of the somatostatin receptor family (SSTRs). SSTRs are widely expressed in neuronal tissue and modulate synaptic responses by interacting with inhibitory G-proteins in presynaptic as well as postsynaptic compartments of neurons (e.g. Refs. 5-8). Recently we have used the yeast two-hybrid system to screen for proteins intracellularly associated with SSTR2, one of the major SSTR subtypes in the mammalian brain. Here we show that the C terminus of SSTR2, which contains the consensus sequence for recognition of PDZ domains, interacts with a novel protein termed SSTR interacting protein or SSTRIP. The latter defines a novel family of multidomain cytoskeletal anchoring proteins that are highly enriched in the postsynaptic density fraction derived from rat brain.

cDNA Cloning-- A yeast two-hybrid screen using the rat SSTR2 C terminus as a bait in the Gal4-DNA binding domain vector pAS2 was described previously (9). The initial partial clone of 900 base pairs (clone 16; Ref. 9) coding for the PDZ domain of SSTRIP was used as a probe to screen human fetal brain, adult thalamus, and hippocampus cDNA libraries (CLONTECH) in order to obtain the full-length sequence of SSTRIP. By using oligonucleotide primers based on the human sequence, a partial sequence was also amplified from rat hypothalamic cDNA and used for screening of a rat brain cDNA library (kindly provided by Dr. Rainer Reinscheid).

Overlay Assay-- A cDNA fragment encoding the PDZ domain of human SSTRIP was cloned into the GST fusion protein vector pGEX2T (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and used for the generation of fusion protein. Overlay assays with a biotinylated fusion protein containing the C terminus of SSTR2 were performed as described (9).

Expression in HEK Cells, Immunoprecipitation-- The construction of an SSTR2-cDNA carrying an N-terminal T7 epitope tag in the expression vector pcDNA3 (Invitrogen, Leek, The Netherlands) has been described before (10, 11). Ntag-SSTR2 and SSTRIP were coexpressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells by transient transfection using the calcium phosphate method as described (12). For immunoprecipitations, cells were lyzed in 1 ml of RIPA buffer (1% Nonidet P-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4) on ice for 20 min and centrifuged at 15,000 × g for 20 min. The epitope-tagged receptor was precipitated from the supernatant fraction using the monoclonal T7-antibody (3 µg) and protein A-Sepharose (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech; 100 µl of a 50% suspension in RIPA buffer) as described (11). Precipitates were washed five times with RIPA buffer and denatured by boiling in Laemmli sample buffer. After separation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, proteins were blotted onto nitrocellulose membranes. SSTRIP was then detected by immunoblotting using the anti-PDZ domain antibody as a primary antibody and goat anti-rabbit coupled to alkaline phosphatase as secondary antibody.

In Situ Hybridization-- Whole brains of adult rats were frozen on dry ice, and 20-µm sections were prepared on a cryostat (Leitz, Wetzlar, Germany). Antisense RNA probes labeled with alpha -35S-UTP (NEN Life Science Products) were generated using the rat SSTR2 cDNA (13) and a rat SSTRIP-clone matching bases 1544-2619 of the human SSTRIP sequence. In situ hybridization experiments were performed as described (14). Sections were exposed to BioMax MR film for 3 days. For higher resolution studies, the same slides were dipped into Kodak NTB-2 nuclear emulsion, developed in Dektol developer (Eastman Kodak Co.) after 2-3 weeks of exposure, and subsequently stained with Giemsa (Sigma).

Fractionation of Rat Brain Membranes-- Rat brain membranes were fractionated according to the method described by Carlin et al. (15). Briefly, a postnuclear membrane fraction (crude membranes) was applied to a sucrose multistep gradient, and the synaptosomal fraction was recovered at the interface between 1.0 and 1.2 M sucrose after centrifugation at 82,500 × g for 2 h. After extraction with 1% Triton X-100, the PSD-one Triton fraction was obtained in a second ultracentrifugation step at 200,000 × g at the interface between 1.5 and 2.0 M sucrose and used for Western blotting experiments.

Specific Interaction between a Novel PDZ Domain Protein and the C Terminus of the Rat SSTR2-- We used the C terminus of the rat SSTR2 as a bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen for potentially interacting proteins (9); one novel clone of 900 base pairs, termed SSTRIP for somatostatin receptor interacting protein, was obtained from a human cDNA library which interacted specifically with SSTR2 when compared with the empty bait vector or nonrelated control proteins. This clone encodes a protein fragment that contains a PDZ domain which is highly similar to that of cortactin-binding protein 1 (CortBP1; see Refs. 9 and 16).

Screening of rat and human brain cDNA libraries yielded several splice variants of the full-length SSTRIP as depicted in Fig. 1. The longest cDNA derived from human brain contains an open reading frame of 6546 base pairs, coding for a protein of 240 kDa. In this protein, the PDZ domain is preceded by the SH3 domain and a domain containing six ankyrin repeats. The PDZ domain is followed by seven proline-rich domains that may function as SH3-binding domains (17). At the C terminus a sterile alpha  motif (SAM domain) is observed which has been implicated as a dimerization motif for transcription factors as well as receptor tyrosine kinases (18, 19).

Fig. 1.   Structure of human SSTRIP. A, amino acid sequence. The sequence of the longest form of SSTRIP is shown. In light gray with black letters, the ankyrin repeat region (Ank), in black with white letters the SH3 domain (SH3), the PDZ domain (PDZ), and the SAM domain (SAM), in dark gray with white letters, proline-rich regions (PR1-7) are depicted. The alternatively spliced insert b is boxed; the sequence of the alternative N terminus (a) which may be introduced at this position is shown at the bottom of A. A further splice site is indicated by an arrowhead where the segment c may be introduced. This segment was, however, only detected in cDNA clones obtained from rat tissues; the flanking sequences of this splice site are almost identical in rat and human SSTRIP. The sequences of alternative exons a, b, and c are shown at the bottom in bold letters, with the flanking sequences in the mature protein in normal letters. B, domain structure. Ank6 denotes a set of six ankyrin repeats; the shaded bars indicate the position of proline-rich, putative SH3 binding domains. All domains were identified by sequence analysis using the ISREC Profile Scan server maintained by the Swiss Institute for experimental cancer research. The positions where the alternative exons a, b, and c are introduced are indicated. Map not drawn to scale.

A splice variant of SSTRIP was observed in which the N-terminal region with the six ankyrin repeats as well as the SH3 domain is replaced by the alternative N terminus labeled as exon a in Fig. 1. Accordingly, a major splice site appears to be located between the SH3 domain and the PDZ domain, as an additional partial clone was observed which contains the SH3 and the PDZ domains but lacks an insert of 9 amino acids (insert b in Fig. 1) at this position. Alternative splicing C-terminal of the PDZ domain leads to transcripts that contain an additional insert of 8 amino acids (exon c in Fig. 1) between the PDZ and the first proline-rich domain. However, this variant was so far detected only in rat tissues.

In order to confirm the interaction observed in the yeast system in terms of true protein-protein interactions, we performed an overlay assay with a GST fusion protein of the PDZ domain of SSTRIP. Fusion proteins were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and blotted onto nitrocellulose membranes; a biotinylated fusion protein of the SSTR2 C terminus was used as a probe, according to Ref. 9. In these experiments, the PDZ domain of SSTRIP exhibited a strong interaction with SSTR2, whereas the GST control protein did not react (Fig. 2A). In vivo attempts to coimmunoprecipitate SSTR2 and SSTRIP from a plasma membrane fraction of rat brains were not successful due to the fact that SSTRIP could only be solubilized in the presence of RIPA supplemented with 2% SDS. These conditions did not permit the detection of specific interactions between SSTR2 and SSTRIP although immunoreactivity of the individual proteins was still present in the solubilized membrane fraction (data not shown). To circumvent this technical problem in vitro, coexpression experiments were performed in HEK cells. An expression vector containing the N-terminal part of SSTRIP (amino acids 1-1288), including the ankyrin, SH3, PDZ, and some of the proline-rich regions, was cotransfected with the rat SSTR2 carrying a N-terminal T7 epitope tag (NT7-SSTR2). When SSTR2 was precipitated from cellular lysates using the T7 antibody, SSTRIP could be efficiently detected in the precipitate by Western blotting. SSTRIP could not be detected in the precipitate when SSTR2 was omitted from the transfection mixture, indicating that SSTR2 specifically interacts with SSTRIP in these cells (Fig. 2B). It should be noted that SSTRIP coexpressed with the inward rectifier potassium channel protein Kir 2.1 known to carry the consensus sequence for the PDZ domain and to bind to PSD95 (20) in HEK cells did not show coimmunoprecipitation from cell lysates (data not shown) excluding the possibility that SSTRIP interacts with any protein carrying the PDZ consensus sequence at its C terminus.

Fig. 2.   Interaction of SSTRIP and SSTR2. A, overlay assay. A GST fusion protein of the PDZ domain of SSTRIP and a GST control protein were run on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and either stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue (right panel) or blotted onto nitrocellulose membranes and probed with the biotinylated fusion protein containing the SSTR2 C terminus (left panel). Specifically bound fusion protein was detected using alkaline phosphatase coupled to avidin. GST, lane containing only the GST carrier protein; SSTRIP, amino acid residues 655-796 of full-length human SSTRIP. B, immunoprecipitation from transfected HEK cells. HEK cells were transiently transfected with an expression vector for a truncated (trunc.) version of human SSTRIP (amino acid residue 1-1288) either alone or in combination with Ntag-SSTR2. The 1st two lanes from the left show Western blots from cellular lysates using the 189.3 antiserum that recognizes SSTRIP. The two lanes from the right show Western blots of immunoprecipitates where the SSTR2 was precipitated from cellular lysates using the T7 antibody directed against the epitope tag at the N terminus of the receptor. Note the absence of staining in lanes where SSTR2 cDNA was omitted from the transfection mixture. IP, immunoprecipitate.

The specificity of the interaction between the SSTR2 C terminus and the PDZ domain of SSTRIP was further analyzed in the yeast two-hybrid system. Bait plasmids encoding the C termini of SSTR1-4 as well as a C-terminally mutated SSTR2 (the last amino acid residue isoleucine is replaced by seven amino acids derived from the bait vector sequence) were coexpressed with the initial target vector obtained from the human brain cDNA library. Activation of the His-3 reporter gene that triggers growth on His-deficient media was observed only in the presence of the wild-type SSTR2 and, to a lesser degree, in the presence of the SSTR4 C terminus (Table I). No growth was seen when the SSTR2 C terminus was modified. These data were confirmed by a beta -galactosidase assay on His-positive colonies, indicating that the interaction between SSTR2 and the PDZ domain requires an intact C terminus (Table I). A possible interaction of SSTR4 with the SSTRIP-PDZ domain that was weakly detected here could not be confirmed in an overlay experiment (data not shown).

SSTRIP Is Expressed in Multiple Human Brain Tissues-- As assessed by Northern blot analysis of RNA from various human organs, the SSTRIP gene is expressed in the human brain, particularly in the amygdala, hippocampus, substantia nigra, and thalamus; there two transcripts of 9 and 7.5 kb are detected (Fig. 3), the latter probably corresponding to one of the splice variants of SSTRIP shown in Fig. 1. Expression in organs other than brain such as heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, or liver is restricted to the shorter transcript; this may indicate that shorter splice variants of SSTRIP are ubiquitously expressed in tissues other than brain.

Fig. 3.   Expression of the SSTRIP gene in human tissues. Human brain multiple tissue (upper panels) and human multiple tissue (lower panels; CLONTECH) Northern blots were hybridized with 32P-labeled probes specific for human SSTRIP and actin. The exposure times were as follows: SSTRIP, top, 4 h; bottom, 3 days; actin: 1 h. Two significant bands (7 and 9 kb) were observed in various brain regions, whereas only the lower band was observed in other tissues. Lanes are as follows: 1, amygdala; 2, caudate nucleus; 3, corpus callosum; 4, hippocampus; 5, total brain; 6, substantia nigra; 7, subthalamic nucleus; 8, thalamus; 9, brain; 10, heart; 11, skeletal muscle; 12, colon; 13, thymus; 14, spleen; 15, kidney; 16, liver; 17, small intestine; 18, placenta; 19, lung; 20, peripheral blood leukocytes.

In order to compare the expression pattern of SSTR2 and SSTRIP, we performed in situ hybridization experiments of rat brain sections. As shown in Fig. 4, in general a striking overlap in the expression pattern of both SSTR2 and SSTRIP was observed, including all layers of the cortex and the hippocampus. Both proteins are also prominently expressed in the medial habenula. A major difference between SSTR2 and SSTRIP was seen in the hippocampus; here both mRNAs are seen in the CA1 and CA2 regions; however, the SSTRIP mRNA was detected not only in cell bodies but also in the molecular layer, suggesting that SSTRIP might add to the growing number of mRNAs which are transported into neuronal dendrites (Fig. 4).

SSTRIP Is Enriched in the Postsynaptic Density-- A fusion protein containing the PDZ domain was used to raise rabbit polyclonal antibodies; due to the sequence similarity between CortBP1 and the SSTRIP protein in this domain, these antibodies recognize both proteins from rat and human tissues with similar efficiency. This antiserum was used in Western blotting experiments on rat brain membrane fractions. Several specific bands were observed at molecular masses ranging from 180 to 260 kDa (Fig. 5). CortBP1 from rat brain migrates at an apparent molecular mass of 180 kDa (16), suggesting that the multiple bands at higher molecular weights correspond to the various splice variants of SSTRIP. Specific labeling for CortBP as well as for SSTRIP was obtained in a crude membrane fraction as well as in the synaptosomal fraction and in postsynaptic densities (so-called PSD-one Triton fraction). All bands are strongly enriched in the PSD-one Triton fraction when compared with the crude membrane fraction and the synaptosomal fraction. This enrichment is similar to that observed in a parallel experiment with an antibody specific for synapse-associated protein 102 (SAP102), which has been characterized as a major constituent of postsynaptic densities (24). To verify the observation that SSTRIP is enriched in the post-synaptic density fraction, we used a second antibody directed against the ankyrin repeat domain of SSTRIP. In this experiment only a single significant band at 240 kDa was observed which is also strongly enriched in the PSD fraction (Fig. 5). Thus our data show that the ankyrin/SH3 domain of SSTRIP is contained in one of the several variants of the SSTRIP/CortBP1 family, all of which are enriched in the postsynaptic density fraction.

Fig. 5.   SSTRIP is concentrated in rat brain membrane fractions enriched for postsynaptic densities. Crude membranes (c), synaptosomal (s), and PSD-one Triton (p) fractions were prepared as described under "Materials and Methods." 10 µg of each fraction were applied to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and analyzed by Western blotting using the 189.3 antiserum (directed against the PDZ domain of human SSTRIP) preincubated with an excess of antigen, the 189.3 antiserum alone, and an antiserum raised against the ankyrin domain (amino acids 212-399; A.3). A rabbit polyclonal antibody against synapse-associated protein SAP102 (Müller et al. (24), right) was used as a control for the enrichment of postsynaptic densities. Open arrowheads point at bands at 260 and 180 kDa, which probably represent the longest form of SSTRIP and CortBP1, respectively; the closed arrowhead points at a cluster of bands that probably represent additional PDZ domain containing splice variants of SSTRIP and possibly the unknown protein derived from the human chromosome 22 (see "Discussion"). All these bands are specifically labeled as they are absent when the experiment is performed in the presence of excess antigen.

Here we report the cloning of human SSTRIP, a protein that interacts specifically with the C terminus of the SSTR2 via a PDZ domain-type interaction. During the cloning work of SSTRIP, two sequences from rat brain termed synamon, Shank1 and Spank1, have been deposited in the GenBankTM data base which exhibit strong homology to the human SSTRIP protein and are in fact identical to our partial clone from rat. Rat Shank1 and Spank1 exhibit a domain structure identical to human SSTRIP, whereas the reported rat synamon sequence lacks the SAM domain. In addition, a protein termed ProSAP1 (proline-rich synapse associated protein 1) was reported (25) which is largely identical to CortBP1 but which exhibits several alternative splicing sites in positions homologous to those reported here for SSTRIP. The homology between SSTRIP and CortBP1/ProSAP1 is limited to the PDZ and SAM domains, where the sequence identity between the two proteins reaches 86 (PDZ) and 73% (SAM). In contrast, the region between the PDZ and the SAM domain displays a sequence identity of 25% only. A third cDNA may be present, as both SSTRIP and CortBP1/ProSAP1 align to a genomic fragment from the human chromosome 22, with very high sequence similarity again in the PDZ and SAM domains. As the PDZ domains of these three proteins are structurally very similar, it appears likely that the many variants of these three proteins may be responsible for anchoring SSTR2 in many different localizations in neurons. This is in agreement with immunohistochemical data, which have shown that the SSTR2 protein is present in presynaptic as well as in somatodendritic, postsynaptic compartments of neuronal cells (6, 8).

The common domain structure and splicing pattern seen when comparing SSTRIP and CortBP1/ProSAP1 (9, 16, 25) suggests that these three proteins constitute a new family of multidomain proteins. It remains to be shown, however, if the ankyrin repeat domain and the SH3 domain are also present in splice variants of CortB1 and the unknown protein derived from human chromosome 22. The strong enrichment of proteins of this family in the postsynaptic density fraction from rat brain indicates that we have detected an important structural component of this postsynaptic structure. In this respect the function of SSTRIP and its homologs may go far beyond an anchoring function for somatostatin receptors, as family members have been identified independently by experimental approaches looking for interaction partners for cortactin (16), or the SAP-associated protein/guanylate kinase-associated protein (see annotations for the rat homologs of SSTRIP in the GenBankTM data base; see Refs. 26 and 27). Similarly, multiple interaction partners have been found for the PDZ domains of the PSD-95/SAP102 family of proteins (28), which bind glutamate receptor as well as potassium channel subunits and probably many other proteins. Further yeast two-hybrid experiments will help to identify additional proteins that complex with the PDZ domains as well as with the ankyrin, SH3, and SAM domains of SSTRIP.
