Here, we investigated the function of the scaffolding protein c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK)-associated leucine zipper protein (JLP) by depleting it in cultured cells using a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against human JLP. HeLa and DLD-1 cells stably expressing the shRNA showed a defect in cell migration. The re-expression of full-length shRNA-resistant mouse JLP rescued the impaired cell migration of the JLP-depleted HeLa cells; whereas, a C-terminal deletion mutant of mouse JLP, which failed to bind the G protein Gα13, showed little or no effect on the cell migration defect. Furthermore, although a constitutively active Gα13 enhanced the migration of control HeLa cells, the Gα13-induced cell migration was significantly suppressed in the JLP-depleted HeLa cells. Taken together, these results suggest that JLP regulates cell migration through an interaction with Gα13. © The Authors 2008.
