To reveal function of a novel drug dependence-related molecule “Shati,” we exploredSHATI-binding proteins using pull-down assays and identified a number of components of the adaptorprotein (AP)-2 complex, which is a multimeric protein localized to the plasma membrane that functionsto internalize receptors during clathrin-mediated endocytosis. We demonstrated a novel function ofSHATI that promotes the localization of DA receptors to the cell surface via an association with theadaptor protein (AP)-2 complex, thereby inhibiting METH dependence. Furthermore, we show thatSHATI is both associated and colocalized with microtubules in neurons, and regulated neuriteelongation.
