Tensin 2 interactomics reveals interaction with GAPDH and a phosphorylation-mediated regulatory role in glycolysis

ABSTRACT: Integrin adaptor proteins, like tensin-2, are crucial for cell adhesion and signalling. However, its functions beyond localizing to focal adhesions remain poorly understood. To identify tensin-2's interaction partners in HEK293 cells, we utilized proximity-dependent biotinylation and strep-tag affinity proteomics. Results linked tensin-2 to known focal adhesion proteins and the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, while also uncovering novel interaction with the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH. We demonstrated that Y483-phosphorylation of tensin-2 regulates the glycolytic rate in HEK293 and MEF cells, as well as gene expression in HEK293 cells. Of note, Y483-phosphorylation directs tensin-2 to adhesion sites in MEF cells. Our study unveils numerous novel interaction partners for tensin-2, further solidifies its speculated role in cell energy metabolism and identifies Y483-phosphorylation as a crucial regulator for tensin-2 localization. These findings shed fresh insight into the functions of tensin-2, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for diseases associated with impaired cell adhesion and metabolism.
