Sorting Nexin 19 (SNX19)

Sorting nexins are a large family of phox-homology-domain-containing proteins that have been implicated in the control of endosomal sorting. Six new interacting proteins were identified by this approach: mitogen-activated protein kinase-activating death domain (MADD), the MADD isoform IG20, PTPrho, PTPsigma, sorting nexin 19 (SNX19) and cyclophilin A.

Amino acids 744-979 of IA-2 were required for the maximum binding of MADD, IG20 and SNX19, whereas amino acids 602-907 of IA-2 were required for the maximum binding of PTPrho and PTPsigma. Pull-down experiments with cell lysate from transfected mammalian cells confirmed the binding of the interacting proteins to IA-2.
