FAM20C directly binds to and phosphorylates Periostin.

ABSTRACT: It is widely accepted that FAM20C functions as a Golgi casein kinase and has large numbers of kinase substrates within the secretory pathway. It has been previously reported that FAM20C is required for maintenance of healthy periodontal tissues. However, there has been no report that any extracellular matrix molecules expressed in periodontal tissues are indeed substrates of FAM20C. In this study, we sought to identify the binding partner(s) of FAM20C. FAM20C wild-type (WT) and its kinase inactive form D478A proteins were generated. These proteins were electrophoresed and the Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB)-positive bands were analyzed to identify FAM20C-binding protein(s) by Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis. Periostin was found by the analysis and the binding between FAM20C and Periostin wa
