Specific association of annexin 1 with plasma membrane‐resident and internalized EGF receptors mediated through the protein core domain

Abstract
Phosphorylation of the Ca2+ and membrane-binding protein annexin 1 by epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor tyrosine kinase has been thought to be involved in regulation of the EGF receptor trafficking. To elucidate the interaction of annexin 1 during EGF receptor internalization, we followed the distribution of annexin 1-GFP fusion proteins at sites of internalizing EGF receptors. The observed association of annexin 1 with EGF receptors was confirmed by immunoprecipitation. We found that this interaction was independent of a functional phosphorylation site in the annexin 1 N-terminal domain but mediated through the Ca2+ binding core domain
