Nectin-4 co-stimulates the prolactin receptor by interacting with SOCS1 and inhibiting its activity on the JAK2-STAT5a signaling pathway [Signal Transduction]

Cell-surface cytokine receptors are regulated by their cis-interacting stimulatory and inhibitory co-receptors. We previously showed that the Ig-like cell-adhesion molecule nectin-4 cis-interacts with the prolactin receptor through the extracellular region and stimulates prolactin-induced prolactin receptor activation and signaling, resulting in alveolar development in the mouse mammary gland. However, it remains unknown how this interaction stimulates these effects. We show here that the cis-interaction of the extracellular region of nectin-4 with the prolactin receptor was not sufficient for eliciting these effects and that the cytoplasmic region of nectin-4 was also required for this interaction. The cytoplasmic region of nectin-4 directly interacted with suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1), but not SOCS3, JAK2, or STAT5a, and inhibited the interaction of SOCS1 with JAK2, eventually resulting in the increased phosphorylation of STAT5a. The juxtamembrane region of nectin-4 interacted with the Src homology 2 domain of SOCS1. Both the interaction of nectin-4 with the extracellular region of the prolactin receptor and the interaction of SOCS1 with the cytoplasmic region of nectin-4 were required for the stimulatory effect of nectin-4 on the prolactin-induced prolactin receptor activation. The third Ig-like domain of nectin-4 and the second fibronectin type III domain of the prolactin receptor were involved in this cis-interaction, and both the extracellular and transmembrane regions of nectin-4 and the prolactin receptor were required for this direct interaction. These results indicate that nectin-4 serves as a stimulatory co-receptor for the prolactin receptor by regulating the feedback inhibition of SOCS1 in the JAK2-STAT5a signaling pathway.
