Identification of glycolytic proteins as binding partners of Bri2 BRICHOS domain.

Human integral membrane protein 2B (ITM2B or Bri2) is a member of the BRICHOS family, that can attenuate Aβ pathology in the brain. As a result, the identification of novel Bri2 BRICHOS client proteins has been sought to help elucidate signaling pathways and the potential identification of novel therapeutic targets. To identify Bri2 BRICHOS interacting partners, we carried out a 'protein fishing' experiment using recombinant human (rh) Bri2 BRICHOS-coated magnetic particles, in combination with proteomic analysis on cytosolic and membrane fractions of cortical homogenates from C57BL/6 J WT mouse. We identified 4 proteins from the cytosolic fractions and 44 proteins from the membrane fractions that had significant interactions (p < 0.05) with Bri2 BRICHOS domain, of which 11 proteins were previously identified as proteins that interacted with Bri2 BRICHOS domain. Enrichment analysis of the retained proteins identified glycolysis/gluconeogenesis as the most enriched pathway, with several proteins identified playing roles in carbon metabolism, amino acid synthesis. The data suggested that Bri2 BRICHOS may have a role in cellular energy demands in the brain via glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and may play a role in mitochondrial homeostasis.
