Introduction. SAM68 (Src associated in mitosis of 68 kDa, KHDRBS1) is an RNA-binding
protein involved in the regulation of transcription, alternative splicing, RNA maturation, and
signalling processes in a cell [1]. SAM68 central KH domain mediates RNA binding, whereas
proline-rich regions, tyrosine motifs, and RG repeats located in the non-structured N- and
C-terminal regions provide the binding to protein partners. Multiple studies reveal the proto-
oncogenic properties of SAM68, while its overexpression is observed in glioblastoma, breast,
prostate, colorectal, cervical and other types of cancer, whereas SAM68 depletion inhibits cells
proliferation [2].
SAM68 interacts with various splicing factors and spliceosome-associated proteins and binds
A/U rich sequences in RNA. This protein is involved in the alternative splicing of va rious mR-

RNA-binding protein SAM68 interacts
with endocytic proteins and actin cytoskeleton modulators
Presented by Corresponding Member of the NAS of Ukraine A.V. Rynditch
SAM68 is a nuclear RNA-binding protein involved in the regulation of mRNA processing. SAM68 overexpression
is observed in multiple types of cancer. Recently, the possible link between RNA-binding protein SAM68 and scaf-
fold protein ITSN1 has been identified. The aim of the study was to confirm the probability of direct binding
bet ween SAM68 and ITSN, analyze the effect of ITSN1 on SAM68-mediated alternative splicing, and identify novel
SAM68 partners among endocytic proteins and actin cytoskeleton modulators. The interactions were revealed in
pull-down assays using purified recombinant proteins or cell lysates. ITSN1 knockdown in HeLa cells was performed
using the shRNA approach. The expression of isoforms produced by alternative splicing was measured using RT-PCR.
It was demonstrated that SAM68 directly interacted with ITSN1 in vitro. Next, it was found that ITSN1 knockdown
in HeLa cells induced SRSF1 intron 3 retention increasing the expression of the proto-oncogenic isoform of SRSF1
by three times. It was also shown that SH3 domains of AMPH1, BIN1, CTTN1, TKS4, and TKS5 precipitated SAM68
from lysate of 293 cells. As a result, SAM68 directly binds to ITSN1 and interacts with endocytic proteins and actin
cytoskeleton modulators, whereas SAM68-mediated splicing in HeLa cells may be regulated by ITSN1.

NAs, promoting exon inclusion (CD44, BCL-X, and AR-V), exon exclusion (SMN1/2, mTOR),
and intron retention (SRSF1, CCND1, and BIRC5) [1]. In most cases, SAM68 induces the forma-
tion of proto-oncogenic isoforms associated with proliferation and migration of cancer cells [2].
Although SAM68 is preferentially a nuclear protein, it also localizes in the cytoplasm and at
the plasma membrane, where it modulates the activity of several receptor-mediated signalling
pathways (insulin, leptin, Toll-like, TNFα, and EGF activating cascades) [3]. As a result, in ad-
dition to nuclear proteins, SAM68 interacts also with various SH3 domain-containing proteins
comprising adapter proteins (GRB2, CRK, NCK1), SRC kinases (SRC, FYN, BRK), and other
regulatory enzymes (methyltransferase PRMT1/2, PLCγ) [1, 4]. The interactions contribute to
SAM68 posttranslational modification altering its RNA- and protein-binding properties, as well
as its cellular localization [1].
Recently, using pull-down and immunoprecipitation assays, it was found that SAM68
could form a complex with protein ITSN1 [5]. ITSN1 is a scaffold protein involved in clathrin-
mediated endocytosis and actin cytoskeleton rearrangements, as well as regulation of some cell
signalling pathways [6]. In addition, ITSN1 was found to localize in a cell nucleus, although
its nuclear function is still unknown [7]. ITSN1 overexpression stimulates oncogenic transfor-
mation of rodent fibroblasts, induces invadopodia formation, whereas ITSN1 overexpression in-
hibits proliferation, growth, and migration of lung cancer cells [6].
As SAM68-ITSN1 interplay could be involved in the regulation of the overlapping cellular
signalling pathways, the current work aimed to confirm the direct interaction between the pro-
teins in vitro and to analyze the possible effect of ITSN1 on SAM68-mediated alternative splicing
events in HeLa cells. Finally, the putative interactions between SAM68 and other cytoplasmic
SH3 domain-containing proteins involved in the regulation of clathrin-mediated endocytosis and
actin cytoskeleton remodelling were analyzed.
Materials and Methods. Expression constructs. For the production of the constructs enco-
ding SAM68 fused to His-tag, the coding sequence of SAM68 was inserted into the pET22b vec-
tor. The plasmid encoding GST-ITSN1SH3 was described previously [5]. Constructions encoding
ITSN1-specific shRNAs were prepared according to the RNAi Consortium (TRC) protocol [8]
using the pLKO vector. The following antisense sequences were used: shRNA1: 5′-TTT AAT
TGG TCA TTG AGT ATC-3′; shRNA2: 5′-ATT ATT CAT GTC AGC TAG TGC-3′.
Antibodies. Mouse monoclonal anti-GST, anti-SAM68, and anti-GAPDH antibodies were
purchased from Invitrogen, Sigma, and Santa-Cruz Biotechnology, respectively. Secondary
HRP-labeled anti-mouse antibodies were obtained from Promega.
Cell culture. 293 and HeLa cells were obtained from the ATCC and maintained in DMEM
with 10 % FBS, 100 mg/ml streptomycin and 50 mg/ml penicillin.
Pull-down assays. The recombinant GST- and His-fused proteins were produced in Esche-
richia coli BL21 cells and purified using glutathione-sepharose 4B (GE Healthcare) and
Ni2+-NTA-agarose (Qiagen), respectively, according to the manufacturer protocols. The pull-
down experiments and sample preparation were performed, as described previously [5].
Western blotting. Protein samples were resolved by PAGE-SDS and transferred to nitro-
cellulose membranes (Bio-Rad). The membranes were blocked with 5 % non-fat milk in TBS-T
(0.1 % Tween 20) for 1 h and incubated with corresponding primary and secondary antibodies.
Chemiluminescence was detected using ECL reagents with ChemiDoc XRS+ (Bio-Rad).

RNA-binding protein SAM68 interacts with endocytic proteins and actin cytoskeleton modulators
shRNA knockdown. Knock-
down experiments in HeLa cells
were performed as described pre-
viously in [8]. In brief, lentiviral
particles containing shRNA-co-
ding constructs were pro duced
in 293 cells. HeLa cells were
transduced with the viral super-
natants and were incubated with
1 μg/ml puromycin for 72 h. Con-
trol HeLa cells were transduced
with viral particles en coding the
empty pLKO vector.
Real-time PCR. Total RNA
was extracted from HeLa cells
using TRI Reagent® (Mole-
cular Research Center, Inc) ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s recommendations. For cDNA synthesis, 1 μg of total RNA was
reverse transcribed using ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcription System (Promega). Quantitative
real-time PCR was performed via GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix (Promega) on CFX384 Touch™
Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad). For the detection of two possible transcripts pro-
duced during the alternative splicing, isoform-specific primers were used. Expression levels of all
studied isoforms were estimated according to ΔΔCT approach described previously using GAPDH
expression level for normalization [9].
Statistical analysis. Unpaired two-tailed t-test was used for the statistical comparison.
GraphPad Prism 6 software was used for the calculation. All the experiments were performed
in triplicates.
Results and discussion. To confirm the probability of the direct interaction between
SAM68 and ITSN1, purified recombinant proteins SAM68-His and GST-ITSN1SH3 were used in
pull-down analysis. His-tagged SAM68 was immobilized on Ni2+-NTA agarose and incubated
with purified GST or GST-fused tandem of five SH3 domains of ITSN1. Pull-down results
demonstrated that SAM68 precipitated ITSN1 SH3 domains and did not precipitate GST
(Fig. 1). The observed data confirmed that ITSN1 directly binds SAM68.
To analyze the functional interaction between ITSN1 and SAM68 in cells, the effect of ITSN1
knockdown on SAM68-mediated splicing events was analyzed. ITSN1 knockdown in HeLa cells
was performed using two different ITSN1-specific shRNAs. The efficiency of ITSN1 knockdown
was checked by qPCR (Fig. 2, a) and Western blot analysis (Fig. 2, b) that showed a ~50 % de-
crease in ITSN1 expression at mRNA and protein levels.
Four alternative splicing events that are known to be regulated by SAM68 were analyzed in
HeLa cells with ITSN1 knockdown. They included the selection of alternative splice site in BCL-X
exon 2 (isoform BCLX-S), CD44 exon v5 inclusion (CD44-v5), CCND1 intron 4 retention (CC-
ND1-b), and SRSF1 intron 3 retention (SRSF1-L). The ratio between the relative expression of
two possible transcripts produced during the alternative splicing was estimated (Fig. 3).

It was found that ITSN1 knockdown in HeLa cells caused no change in the expression of
BCLX, CD44 and CCND1, as the ratio between transcripts in shRNA-expressing cells was similar
to control cells (Fig. 3). However, ITSN1 knockdown significantly increased SRSF1 intron 3 re-
tention, associated with the increased expression of the proto-oncogenic isoform of splicing factor
SRSF1 (SRSF1-L). The ratio between SRSF1-L and SRSF1-S expression levels increased by
three times, as compared to control cells. The obtained results suggest that ITSN1 might regulate
SAM68 activity in HeLa cells, in particular, modulating SAM68-mediated alternative splicing of
SRSF1 pre-mRNA, although a further analysis is required to confirm the finding.
As other proteins that regulate endocytosis and actin filaments rearrangement possess SH3
domains, it was suggested that they could also interact with SAM68. The putative interaction
between SAM68 and several SH3 domain-containing proteins was studied in vitro using GST
pull-down assay. GST-fused SH3 domains of AMPH1, BIN1, CTTN, TKS4, and TKS5 were im-
mobilized on glutathione-sepharose and incubated with lysates of 293 cells. The SH3 domain of
SRC kinase was used as a positive control, while recombinant GST alone was used as a negative
control. PAGE-SDS analysis of the precipitated proteins demonstrated that SAM68 interacted
with AMPH1, BIN1, CTTN, TKS4 (SH3-3 domain), and TKS5 (SH3-5 domain) (Fig. 4). The
data indicate that the selected endocytic proteins and actin cytoskeleton modulators interact
with RNA-binding protein SAM68.
The obtained results clearly demonstrated the direct interaction between RNA-binding pro-
tein SAM68 and scaffold protein ITSN1, confirming previous results showing that ITSN1 and
SAM68 could interact in vitro and in 293 cells
[5]. Moreover, it could be suggested that the in-
teraction is mediated by ITSN1 SH3 domains
and SAM68 proline motifs.
The present work showed a novel function
of ITSN1 protein associated with the regulation

RNA-binding protein SAM68 interacts with endocytic proteins and actin cytoskeleton modulators
of alternative splicing. Significant change (a 50 % increase) in the expression of full-length
isoform of SRSF1 was observed. Proto-oncogene SRSF1 (ASF/SF2) is a splicing factor that is
overexpressed in various human cancers [10]. The 3′UTR region of ASF/SF2 pre-mRNA con-
tains intron 3 that is normally retained in the mature full-length transcript. Exclusion of the
intron is associated with the recognition of a premature termination codon and degradation of the
SRSF1 mRNA by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay [11]. SAM68 binds SRSF1 pre-mRNA,
induces intron 3 retention, and increases SRSF1 expression activating epithelial-to-mesenchymal
transition in colon cancer cells SW40 [12]. The obtained data demonstrated that ITSN1 knock-
down increased the production of proto-oncogenic full-length isoform of SRSF1 that correlates
with the fact that the decreased ITSN1 expression is observed in lung cancer cells A549 [13].
As SAM68 is a modulator of SRSF1 mRNA splicing, it could be suggested that ITSN1 is involved
in the regulation of SAM68 activity. The regulatory process might be associated with the direct
interaction between ITSN1 and SAM68. On the other hand, as SRSF1 expression is activated
by MAPK-Erk1/2-mediated phosphorylation of SAM68, it could be also expected that ITSN1
knockdown could stimulate MAPK-Erk1/2 signalling pathway that was previously observed in
mouse lung cells [14].
Finally, the obtained results extended SAM68 protein interactome demonstrating that
SAM68 could interact with endocytic proteins AMPH1, BIN1, as well as actin cytoskeleton mo-
dulators CTTN1, TKS4 and TKS5. As SAM68 was found to modulate the activation of several
membrane-associated receptors, it could be suggested that the interaction between SAM68
and BIN1 or AMPH1, which are known to induce plasma membrane bending, could regulate
the endocytosis-mediated internalization of membrane receptors. It was shown that SAM68
induces migration of cancer cells and mice fibroblasts [2], suggesting that SAM68 could interact
with proteins that modulate actin cytoskeleton rearrangement, in particular, CTTN1, TKS4,
and TKS5, as well as AMPH1 and BIN1 which control the initiation of actin polymerization [15].
The interactions may be required for the recruitment of certain mRNA to the sites of podosomes
formation. However, a further analysis is needed to find out the functional role of the identified
interactions.
RNA-binding protein SAM68 directly interacted with ITSN1 SH3 domains in vitro. ITSN1
knockdown in HeLa cells stimulated SRSF1 intron 3 retention increasing expression of the pro-
to-oncogenic isoform of splicing factor SRSF1. SH3 domains of AMPH1, BIN1, CTTN1, TKS4,

and TKS5 precipitated RNA-binding protein SAM68 from lysate of 293 cells. The obtained
data expanded SAM68 protein interactome and suggested that SAM68-mediated alternative
splicing could be regulated by ITSN1.

РНК-ЗВ’ЯЗУВАЛЬНИЙ БІЛОК SAM68
ВЗАЄМОДІЄ ІЗ БІЛКАМИ ЕНДОЦИТОЗУ
ТА МОДУЛЯТОРАМИ АКТИНОВОГО ЦИТОСКЕЛЕТА
Метою дослідження було підтвердити можливість прямого зв’язування між SAM68 та ITSN1, проаналі-
зувати вплив ITSN1 на SAM68-опосередкований альтернативний сплайсинг і виявити нових партнерів
SAM68 з-поміж ендоцитозних білків та модуляторів реорганізації актинового цитоскелета. Взаємодії про-
аналізовано за допомогою pull-down методик з використанням очищених рекомбінантних білків або ліза-
тів клітин 293. Нокдаун ITSN1 у клітинах лінії HeLa проводили, використовуючи дві шпилькові РНК.
Експресію ізоформ, що утворюються в ході альтернативного сплайсингу, проаналізовано за допомогою
ПЛР в реальному часі. Показано, що SAM68 прямо взаємодіє з ITSN1 in vitro. Далі виявлено, що нокдаун
ITSN1 у клітинах лінії HeLa підвищує рівень збереження інтрону 3 SRSF1 на 50 %, сприяючи експресії
протоонкогенної ізоформи SRSF1. Встановлено, що SH3 домени білків AMPH1, BIN1, CTTN1, TKS4 та
TKS5 преципітують SAM68 із лізатів клітин 293. SAM68 безпосередньо зв’язується з ITSN1 і взаємодіє з
ендоцитозними білками та модуляторами перебудов актинового цитоскелета, а SAM68-опосередкований
сплайсинг у клітинах лінії HeLa може регулюватися ITSN1.
Ключові слова: SAM68, ITSN1, SRSF1, альтернативний сплайсинг.

Целью исследования было подтвердить возможность прямого связывания между SAM68 и ITSN1, проа-
нализировать влияние ITSN1 на SAM68-опосредованный альтернативный сплайсинг и найти новых пар-
тнеров SAM68 среди эндоцитозных белков и модуляторов реорганизации актинового цитоскелета. Взаи-
модействия проанализированы с помощью pull-down методик с использованием очищенных рекомби-
нантных белков или лизатов клеток 293. Короткие РНК, образующие шпильки, использовали для нок дауна
ITSN1 в клетках линии HeLa. Экспрессия изоформ, образующихся в ходе альтернативного сплайсинга,
проанализирована с помощью ПЦР в реальном времени. Показано, что SAM68 прямо взаимодействует с
ITSN1 in vitro. Далее обнаружено, что нокдаун ITSN1 в клетках линии HeLa повышает уровень сохранения
интрона 3 SRSF1 на 50 %, способствуя экспрессии протоонкогенной изоформы SRSF1. Установлено, что
SH3 домены белков AMPH1, BIN1, CTTN1, TKS4 и TKS5 преципитируют SAM68 из лизатов клеток 293.
SAM68 непосредственно связывается с ITSN1 и взаимодействует с эндоцитозными белками и модуля-
торами перестроек актинового цитоскелета, а SAM68-опосредованный сплайсинг в клетках линии HeLa
может регулироваться ITSN1.
Ключевые слова: SAM68, ITSN1, SRSF1, альтернативный сплайсинг.
