Erythrocyte protein 4.1 (P4.1) is an 80-kD cytoskeletal protein that is important for the maintenance of the structural integrity and flexibility of the red blood cell membrane. Limited chymotryptic digestion of erythroid P4.1 yields 4 structural domains corresponding to the 30-, 16-, 10-, and 22/24-kD domains. Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we isolated cDNA clones encoding pICln that specifically interacts with the 30-kD domain of P4.1. In this report, we show that the carboxyl-terminus (amino acid residues 103-237) of pICln binds to the 30-kD domain of P4.1 in a yeast two-hybrid system. The direct association between the 30-kD domain of P4.1 and pICln was further confirmed by the following findings: (1) the S35-methione-labeled pICln specifically bound to both GST/P4.1-80 (80 kD) and GST/P4.1-30 (30 kD) fusion proteins, but not to the proteins that lack the 30-kD domain; (2) coimmunoprecipitation analysis of the cell extracts from transfected SiHa cells showed that pICln and P4.1 associate in transfected cells. It was reported that pICln can form a complex with actin and may play a role involved in cellular volume regulation. The direct association between P4.1 and pICln suggests that pICln may link P4.1-bound cytoskeletal elements to an unidentified volume-sensitive chloride channel.
