CIN85 participates in Cbl-b-mediated down-regulation of receptor tyrosine kinases.

The Cbl family of ubiquitin ligases in mammals contains three members, Cbl, Cbl-b, and Cbl-3, that are involved in down-regulation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) by mediating receptor ubiquitination and degradation. More recently, a novel pathway has been identified whereby Cbl promotes internalization of EGF receptor via a CIN85/endophilin pathway ...
that is functionally separable from the ubiquitin ligase activity of Cbl (1). Here we show that Cbl-b, but not Cbl-3, utilize the same mechanism to down-regulate multiple RTKs. CIN85 was shown to bind to the minimal binding domain identified in the carboxyl terminus of Cbl-b. Ligand-induced phosphorylation of Cbl-b further increased their interactions and led to a rapid and sustained recruitment of CIN85 in the complex with EGF or PDGF receptors. Inhibition of binding between CIN85 and Cbl-b was sufficient to impair Cbl-b-mediated internalization of EGF receptors, while being dispensable for Cbl-b-directed polyubiquitination of EGF receptors. Moreover, CIN85 and Cbl/Cbl-b were constitutively associated with activated PDGF, EGF, or c-Kit receptors in several tumor cell lines. Our data reveal a common pathway utilized by Cbl and Cbl-b that may have an important and redundant function in negative regulation of ligand-activated as well as oncogenically activated RTKs in vivo.
