Synapse-associated protein 97 (SAP97) and postsynaptic density 95 (PSD-95) are closely related membrane-associated guanylate kinase homologs (Maguks) implicated in the synaptic targeting and anchoring of alpha-amino-5-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-selective glutamate receptors. Prompted by accumulating evidence for an oligomeric nature of Maguks, we examined the potential of SAP97 and PSD-95 to form heteromeric complexes. SAP97 and PSD-95 coimmunoprecipitated from rat brain detergent extracts and subsequent glutathione S-transferase pull-down and immunoprecipitation experiments showed that the interaction is mediated by binding of the N-terminal segment of SAP97 (SAP97(NTD)) to the Src homology 3 domain of PSD-95 (PSD-95(SH3)). In cultured hippocampal neurons, expression of green fluorescent protein-tagged PSD-95 triggered accumulation of SAP97 in synaptic spines, which was totally inhibited by coexpression of PSD-95(SH3). Furthermore, overexpression of green fluorescent protein-PSD-95 induced dendritic clustering of GluR-A subunit-containing AMPA receptors, which was strongly inhibited by cotransfection with SAP97(NTD) and PSD-95(SH3) constructs. Our results demonstrated a direct interaction between SAP97 and PSD-95 and suggested that this association may play a functional role in the trafficking and clustering of AMPA receptors.
