It has been reported that Salvador (SAV) is a core component of the Salvador-Warts-Hippo (SWH) pathway that restricts cell number, by functioning as a dual regulator of cell proliferation and apoptosis in Drosophila. However, the function of its human ortholog hSav1 (also called hWW45) in mammalian cells is poorly understood. In this study, we identified hematopoietic cell-specific protein 1 (HS1)-associated protein X-1 (HAX1), a 35-kDa protein localized to cell mitochondria, as a novel binding partner of hSav1 using a yeast two-hybrid screening technique. Our finding was confirmed by immunoprecipitation and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays of both proteins. Using immunofluorescence staining, we showed that HAX1 and hSav1 interact with each other. Analysis of the anti-apoptotic function of HAX1 revealed that the presence of hSav1 attenuated the HAX1 protective effects from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cell death in MCF-7 cells, while knockdown of hSav1 by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) significantly enhanced the anti-apoptotic function of HAX1. Also, using the Oncomine database, we found several studies in which HAX1 levels were significantly up-regulated and hSav1 expression was down-regulated in breast cancer samples compared to normal breast tissue. In summary, we conclude that hSav1 interacts with HAX1 and attenuates its protective role against apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
