Cross-talk between GPCR and RTK signaling pathways are crucial to the efficient relay and integration of cellular information. Here we identify and define the novel binding interaction of the E3 ubiquitin ligase AIP4 with the GTP exchange factor

A Novel interaction between AIP4 and
PIX is mediated by an SH3 domain
PIX. We demonstrate that this interaction is mediated in part by the
PIXSH3 domain binding to a proline-rich stretch of AIP4. Analysis of the interaction by isothermal calorimtery is consistent with a heterotrimeric complex with one AIP4 derived peptide binding to two
PIXSH3 domains. We determined the crystal structure of the
PIXSH3/AIP4 complex to 2.0 Å resolution. In contrast to the calorimetry results, the crystal structure shows a monomeric complex in which AIP4 peptide binds the
PIXSH3 domain as a canonical Class I ligand with an additional type II polyproline helix that makes extensive contacts with another face of
PIX. Taken together, the novel interaction between AIP4 and
PIX represents a new regulatory node for GPCR and RTK signal integration. Our structure of the
PIXSH3/AIP4 complex provides important insight into the mechanistic basis for
PIX scaffolding of signaling components, especially those involved in cross-talk.
