SCAMP3 is a mutant EGFR phosphorylation target and a tumor suppressor in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase domain constitutively activate EGFR resulting in lung tumorigenesis. Activated EGFR modulates downstream signaling by altering phosphorylation-driven interactions that promote growth and survival. Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs) are a family of transmembrane proteins that regulate recycling of receptor proteins, including EGFR. The potential role of SCAMPs in mutant EGFR function and tumorigenesis has not been elucidated. Using quantitative mass-spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics, we identified SCAMP3 as a target of mutant EGFRs in lung adenocarcinoma and sought to further investigate the role of SCAMP3 in the regulation of lung tumorigenesis. Here we show that activated EGFR, either directly or indirec
