PGRMC1 is a protein from the MAPR family with a range of cellular functions. PGRMC1 has been described to play a role in fertility, neuroprotection, steroidogenesis, membrane trafficking and in cancer cell biology. PGRMC1 represents a likely key regulator of cell metabolism and proliferation, as well as a potential target for anti-cancer therapies. To further understand the functions of PGRMC1 and the mechanism of the small molecule inhibitor of PGRMC1, AG-205, proteins differentially bound to PGRMC1 were identified following AG-205 treatment of MIA PaCa-2 cells. Our results suggest that AG-205 influences PGRMC1 interactions with the actin cytoskeleton. The binding of two PGRMC1-associated proteins that support this, RACK1 and alpha-Actinin-1, was reduced following AG-205 treatment. The biology associated with PGRMC1 binding partners identified here merits further investigation.
PGRMC1 是 MAPR 家族的一种蛋白,具有多种细胞功能。PGRMC1 被描述为在生育、神经保护、类固醇生成、膜运输以及癌细胞生物学中发挥作用。PGRMC1 代表细胞代谢和增殖的一个重要调节因子,也是抗癌疗法的一个潜在靶点。为了进一步了解 PGRMC1 的功能和 PGRMC1 小分子抑制剂 AG-205 的作用机制,我们在 MIA PaCa-2 细胞中用 AG-205 处理后,鉴定了与 PGRMC1 差异结合的蛋白质。我们的结果表明,AG-205 影响 PGRMC1 与肌动蛋白细胞骨架的相互作用。AG-205 处理后,与支持这一作用的两种 PGRMC1 相关蛋白 RACK1 和α-辅肌动蛋白-1 的结合减少。与这里鉴定的 PGRMC1 结合伙伴相关的生物学值得进一步研究。
