Herein, we describe the identification of two novel Cbl-interacting proteins, p70 and Clip4 (recently assigned the names Sts-1 and Sts-2, respectively), that inhibit endocytosis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor. Sts-1 and Sts-2 contain SH3 domains that interacted with Cbl, Ub-associated domains, which bound directly to mono-Ub or to the EGFR/Ub chimera as well as phosphoglycerate mutase domains that mediated oligomerization of Sts-1/2. Ligand-induced recruitment of Sts-1/Sts-2 into activated EGFR complexes led to inhibition of receptor internalization, reduction in the number of EGFR-containing endocytic vesicles, and subsequent block of receptor degradation followed by prolonged activation of mitogenic signaling pathways. On the other hand, interference with Sts-1/Sts-2 functions diminished ligand-induced receptor degradation, cell proliferation, and oncogenic transformation in cultured fibroblasts. We suggest that Sts-1 and Sts-2 represent a novel class of Ub-binding proteins that regulate RTK endocytosis and control growth factor-induced cellular functions.
