Popis: Microtubule-associated protein tau is a naturally unfolded protein that can modulate a vast array of physiological processes through direct or indirect binding with molecular partners. Aberrant tau homeostasis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we performed an unbiased high-content protein profiling assay by incubating recombinant human tau on microarrays containing thousands of human polypeptides. Among the putative tau-binding partners, we identify S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase-like protein 1/ inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) binding protein (AHCYL1/IRBIT), a member of the S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase family and a previously described modulator of IP3R activity. Using co-immunoprecipitation assays, we show that endogenous as well as overexpressed tau can physically interact with AHCYL1/IRBIT in brain tissues and cultured cells. Proximity ligation assay (PLA) experiments demonstrate that tau overexpression may modify the close localization of AHCYL1/IRBIT to IP3R at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Together, our experimental evidence indicates that tau interacts with AHCYL1/IRBIT and potentially modulates AHCYL1/IRBIT function.
