Differential interactions of missing in metastasis and insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate with RAB proteins in the endocytosis of CXCR4.

ABSTRACT: Missing in metastasis (MIM), an inverse Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (I-BAR) domain protein, promotes endocytosis of C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in mammalian cells. In response to the CXCR4 ligand stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12), MIM associates with RAS-related GTP-binding protein 7 (RAB7) 30 min after stimulation. However, RAB7's role in MIM function remains undefined. Here we show that RNAi-mediated suppression of RAB7 expression in human HeLa cells has little effect on the binding of MIM to RAB5 and on the recruitment of CXCR4 to early endosomes but effectively abolishes MIM-mediated CXCR4 degradation, chemotactic response, and sorting into late endosomes and lysosomes. To determine whether I-BAR domain proteins interact with RAB7, we examined cells expressing insulin rece
