Membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted 2 (MAGI-2) is a tight junction protein in epithelial tissues.

|
Immunohistological analysis showed that loss of MAGI-2 function induced a significant decrease in nephrin and dendrin at the slit diaphragm of the kidney, although other components of the slit diaphragm were unchanged.
|

25108225
|
Furthermore, nuclear translocation of dendrin was observed in the podocytes of the MAGI-2-null mutants, along with enhanced expression of cathepsin L, which is reported to be critical for rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton in podocytes.

|
48 |
28539383
|
Our coimmunoprecipitation and in vitro reconstitution studies showed that dendrin is phosphorylated by Fyn and dephosphorylated by PTP1B, and that Fyn-induced phosphorylation prevents Nedd4-2-mediated ubiquitination of dendrin.
|
49 |
28539383
|
Under physiologic conditions in vivo, phosphorylated dendrin localized at the SDs; in the absence of MAGI-2, dephosphorylated dendrin accumulated in the nucleus.

Although a deficiency of zonula occuldens-1 downregulated the endogenous Neph1 expression, MAGI-2 recovered Neph1 expression at the cellular edge in cultured podocytes.

Additionally, overexpression of MAGI-2 preserved Nephrin localization to intercellular junctions.

Thus, localization and stabilization of Nephrin and Neph1 in intercellular junctions is regulated mainly via the PDZ domains of MAGI-2 together with other slit-diaphragm scaffold proteins.
