Abstract

Calmodulin regulated spectrin-associated protein 1 (CAMSAP1) is a vertebrate microtubule-binding protein, and a representative of a family of cytoskeletal proteins that arose with animals. We reported previously that the central region of the protein, which contains no recognized functional domain, inhibited neurite outgrowth when over-expressed in PC12 cells [Baines et al., Mol. Biol. Evol. 26 (2009), p. 2005]. The CKK domain (DUF1781) binds microtubules and defines the CAMSAP/ssp4 family of animal proteins (Baines et al. 2009). In the central region, three short well-conserved regions are characteristic of CAMSAP-family members. One of these, CAMSAP-conserved region 1 (CC1), bound to both ?II?1-spectrin and Ca2+/calmodulin in vitro. The binding of Ca2+/calmodulin inhibited spectrin binding. Transient expression of CC1 in PC12 cells inhibited neurite outgrowth. siRNA knockdown of CAMSAP1 inhibited neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells or primary cerebellar granule cells: this could be rescued in PC12 cells by wild-type CAMSAP1-enhanced green fluorescent protein, but not by a CC1 mutant. We conclude that CC1 represents a functional region of CAMSAP1, which links spectrin-binding to neurite outgrowth.
