EphB1 interaction with caveolin-1 in endothelial cells modulates caveolae biogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Caveolae, the cave-like structures abundant in endothelial cells (ECs), are important for multiple signaling processes such as production of nitric oxide and caveolae-mediated intracellular trafficking. Using superresolution microscopy, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and biochemical analysis, we observed that the EphB1 receptor tyrosine kinase constitutively interacts with caveolin-1 (Cav-1), the key structural protein of caveolae. Activation of EphB1 with its ligand Ephrin B1 induced EphB1 phosphorylation and the uncoupling EphB1 from Cav-1 and thereby promoted phosphorylation of Cav-1 by Src. Deletion of Cav-1 scaffold domain binding (CSD) motif in EphB1 prevented EphB1 binding to Cav-1 as well as Src-dependent Cav-1 phosphorylation, indicating the importance of CS
