Transcriptionally Inducible Pleckstrin Homology-like Domain, Family A, Member 1, Attenuates ErbB Receptor Activity by Inhibiting Receptor Oligomerization

Abstract

Feedback control is a key mechanism in signal transduction, intimately involved in regulating the outcome of the cellular response. Here, we report a novel mechanism by which PHLDA1, Pleckstrin homology-like domain, family A, member 1, negatively regulates ErbB receptor signaling by inhibition of receptor oligomerization. We have found that the ErbB3 ligand, heregulin, induces expression in MCF-7 cells. Transcriptionally-induced PHLDA1 protein directly binds to ErbB3, whereas knockdown of increases complex formation between ErbB3 and ErbB2. To provide insight into the mechanism for our time-course and single-cell experimental observations, we performed a systematic computational search of network topologies of the mathematical models based on receptor dimer-tetramer formation in the ErbB activation processes. Our results indicate that only a model in which PHLDA1 inhibits formation of both dimers and tetramer can explain the experimental data. Predictions made from this model were further validated by single-molecule imaging experiments. Our studies suggest a unique regulatory feature of PHLDA1 to inhibit the ErbB receptor oligomerization process and thereby control the activity of receptor signaling network.
