PPFIBP1
geneOn this page
Also known as L2hSGT2hSgt2pSGT2liprin-beta1
Summary
PPFIBP1 (PPFIB scaffold protein 1, HGNC:9249) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p11.23-p11.22, encoding Liprin-beta-1 (Q86W92). May regulate the disassembly of focal adhesions.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the LAR protein-tyrosine phosphatase-interacting protein (liprin) family. Liprins interact with members of LAR family of transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatases, which are known to be important for axon guidance and mammary gland development. It has been proposed that liprins are multivalent proteins that form complex structures and act as scaffolds for the recruitment and anchoring of LAR family of tyrosine phosphatases. This protein was found to interact with S100A4, a calcium-binding protein related to tumor invasiveness and metastasis. In vitro experiment demonstrated that the interaction inhibited the phosphorylation of this protein by protein kinase C and protein kinase CK2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Function. May regulate the disassembly of focal adhesions. Did not bind receptor-like tyrosine phosphatases type 2A.
Subunit / interactions. Forms homodimers and heterodimers. Interacts with S100A4 in a Ca(2+)-dependent mode. Part of a cortical microtubule stabilization complex (CMSC) composed of KANK1, PPFIA1, PPFIBP1, ERC1/ELKS, PHLDB2/LL5beta, CLASPs, KIF21A and possibly additional interactors; within CMSCs KANK1 and PHLDB2/LL5beta seem to be the core components for recruiting microtubule-binding proteins KIF21A and CLASPs, whereas PPFIA1, PPFIBP1 and ERC1/ELKS serve as scaffolds for protein clustering. Interacts with KANK1 (via CC1 domain, residues 244-339).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cell cortex.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Absent in liver.
Disease relevance. Neurodevelopmental disorder with seizures, microcephaly, and brain abnormalities (NEDSMBA) [MIM:620024] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by global developmental delay, severe to profound intellectual disability, progressive microcephaly, refractory early-onset epilepsy, white matter abnormalities, and periventricular calcifications. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The N-terminal coiled coil regions mediate homodimerization preferentially and heterodimerization type beta/beta. The C-terminal, non-coiled coil regions mediate heterodimerization type beta/alpha and interaction with S100A4.
Miscellaneous. Due to intron retention.
Similarity. Belongs to the liprin family. Liprin-beta subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 140 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
