| Abstract |
Cellular prion protein (PrP) copurifies with neuregulin type I-β1 (NRG I-β1), but no interaction has been detected by a general immunoprecipitation study. We speculate that PrP interacts with NRG I-β1. Here, the interaction of PrP with NRG I-β1 was detected by measuring fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between enhanced blue (EBFP) and enhanced green (EGFP) fluorescent protein-fusion proteins. Full-length PrP interacted with EGFP in addition to NRG I-β1. From this result, we deduced that PrP interacts with EGFP through its unstructured N-terminal domain. We therefore detected FRET between PrP deleting the N-terminal domain and NRG I-β1. In contrast, the C-terminal domain of PrP interacted with NRG I-β1 and the proteins dissociated completely in the presence of sodium chloride. This interaction occurs at the nanomolar level, which is important for the reaction to be functional in organisms. We concluded that PrP interacted with NRG I-β1 through its C-terminal domain.
