Actinin-4 was originally identified as an actin-binding protein associated with cell motility and cancer invasion and metastasis. However, actinin-4 forms complexes with a large number of different partner proteins and is speculated to have several distinct functions depending its partner. The level of actinin-4 expression was found to be significantly lower in prostate cancer cells than in non-cancerous basal cells, and restoration of actinin-4 expression inhibited cell proliferation by prostate cancer cell line 22RV1. Immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that actinin-4 forms native complexes with several partner proteins in 22RV1 cells, including with ß/-actin, calmodulin, the clathrin heavy chain, non-muscular myosin heavy chain, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A1, and ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3-domain-binding protein (G3BP). Clathrin is a coat protein that covers the internalized membrane pit that forms during early endocytosis. We found that other clathrin-related and unrelated cargo proteins, including dynamin, adaptin-d, ß-NAP, and p47A, also interact with actinin-4. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that dynamin and clathrin co-localized with actinin-4 at the sites of membrane ruffling, and transfection of actinin-4 cDNA facilitated the transport of transferrin into peri-nuclear endosomes. Endocytosis terminates signaling evoked by cell surface receptors and regulates the recycling of receptors and ligands. We identified a panel of proteins whose expression and/or subcellular localization was regulated by actinin-4 by performing organelle fractionation and ICAT-LC-MS/MS. The decreased expression of actinin-4 protein in prostate cancer cells may cause aberrations in the intracellular trafficking of various cell surface molecules and contribute to carcinogenesis.
