ACK2 (activated Cdc42-associated tyrosine kinase 2) is a specific downstream effector for Cdc42, a member of the Rho family of small G-proteins. ACK2 interacts with clathrin, an endocytic vesicle coating protein, and SH3PX1, a sorting nexin, and is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. While searching for proteins that interact with ACK2, we found that HSP90 (heat-shock protein 90) binds to ACK2. Analysis of a series of truncation mutants of ACK2 has defined the regions within the kinase domain of ACK2 that are required for binding to HSP90. The binding of HSP90 to ACK2 is blocked upon treatment with geldanamycin, an HSP90-specific ATPase inhibitor, and is required for the in vivo kinase activity of ACK2 and its association with Cdc42. Overall, our data suggest a novel mechanism of regulation in which HSP90 serves as a regulatory component in an ACK2 functional complex and plays a role in sustaining its kinase activity.

SH3PX1 [SNX9 (sorting nexin 9)] is a member of SNX super-family that is recognized by sharing a PX (phox homology) domain. We have previously shown that SH3PX1, phosphorylated by ACK2 (activated Cdc42-associated tyrosine kinase 2), regulates the degradation of EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor. In mapping the tyrosine phosphorylation region, we found that the C-terminus of SH3PX1 is required for its tyrosine phosphorylation. Further analysis indicates that this region, known as the coiled-coil domain or the BAR (Bin-amphiphysin-Rvs homology) domain, is the dimerization domain of SH3PX1. Truncation of as little as 13 amino acid residues at the very C-terminus in the coiled-coil/BAR domain of SH3PX1 resulted in no dimerization, no ACK2-catalysed and EGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and no interaction with ACK2. The intracellular localization of SH3PX1 became dysfunctional upon truncation in the BAR domain. Taken together, our results indicate that the dimerization, which is mediated by the BAR domain, is essential for the intracellular function of SH3PX1.
