DIPA (delta-interacting protein A) was initially identified as a protein that associates with the hepatitis delta antigen. In this study, we found that DIPA can associate with p78/MCRS/MSP58, a Forkhead-associated domain containing protein implicated in malignant transformation as well as in regulation of gene transcription and translation. We analyzed the interaction between DIPA and p78 by co-immunoprecipitation and identified the structural regions involved in the interaction. Consistent with the physical interaction, we found that DIPA is predominant colocalized with p78 to the nucleus. In addition, a fraction of DIPA can be detected on the centrosome. Furthermore, we demonstrate that DIPA can act as a repressor of gene transcription, an activity that appears to be enhanced by p78. Taken together, our results revealed a novel protein complex that plays a role in regulation of gene expression and cell proliferation. We propose that dysfunction of DIPA may contribute to malignant transformation by affecting the functions of p78. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
