With the aim of identifying new intracellular binding partners for acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), proteins from U2OS human osteosarcoma cells were adsorbed to immobilized aFGF. One of the adsorbed proteins is a member of the leucine-rich repeat protein family termed ribosome-binding protein p34 (p34). This protein has previously been localized to endoplasmic reticulum membranes and is thought to span the membrane with the N terminus on the cytosolic side. Confocal microscopy of cells transfected with Myc-p34 confirmed the endoplasmic reticulum localization, and Northern blotting determined p34 mRNA to be present in a multitude of different tissues. Cross-linking experiments indicated that the protein is present in the cell as a dimer. In vitro translated p34 was found to interact with maltose-binding protein-aFGF through its cytosolic coiled-coil domain. The interaction between aFGF and p34 was further characterized by surface plasmon resonance, giving a K(D) of 1.4 +/- 0.3 microm. Even though p34 interacted with mitogenic aFGF, it bound poorly to the non-mitogenic aFGF(K132E) mutant, indicating a possible involvement of p34 in intracellular signaling by aFGF.
