Here we 34 systematically investigated the bindings of each SAM domain of Eph receptors to the 35 SAM domains from SHIP2 and Odin, and uncover a highly specific SAM-SAM 36 interaction-mediated cytoplasmic Eph-effector binding pattern. Comparative X-ray 37 crystallographic studies of several SAM-SAM heterodimer complexes, together with 38 biochemical and cell biology experiments, not only revealed the exquisite specificity 39 code governing Eph/effector interactions but also allowed us to identify SAMD5 as a 40 new Eph binding partner. Finally, these Eph/effector SAM heterodimer structures can 41 explain numerous Eph SAM mutations identified in patients suffering from cancers and 42 other diseases. 43 44 Keywords：Eph receptor, ephrin-Eph signaling, SHIP2, Odin, SAM domain, 45 SAMD5 2 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/263137; this version posted February 9, 2018.

Chiefly based on their engaging ephrin ligands, Eph receptors are classified into 52 the EphA and EphB subfamilies, each with nine and five members in mammals, 53 respectively (Committee, 1997; Gale et al., 1996; Murai and Pasquale, 2003). Owing 54 to broad expressions in essentially all tissues and at every life stage, Ephrin-Eph 55 signaling regulates many cellular processes both during development and in developed 56 animals such as stem cell maintenance and differentiations, tissue morphogenesis, and 57 tissue-tissue boundary formation (Batlle and Wilkinson, 2012; Genander and Frisen, 58 2010; Julich et al., 2009; McMillen and Holley, 2015; Munarini, 2002; Park et al., 2011; 59 Poliakov et al., 2004). Not surprisingly, mutations of ephrins and Ephs are known to 60 cause many forms of diseases including cancers and brain disorders (Boyd et al., 2014; 61 Chen, 2008; Hahn et al., 2012; Kania and Klein, 2016; Merlos-Suarez and Batlle, 2008; 62 Pasquale, 2008; Zhuang et al., 2012). 63 Ephrin ligand binding-mediated inter-cellular signaling is the classic mode of Eph 64 receptor signaling (also known as ephrin-Eph “forward” signaling), which is 65 responsible for the majority of cellular functions characterized for the ephrin-Eph 66 signaling (Pitulescu and Adams, 2010; Taylor et al., 2017; Yokoyama, 2001). 67 Presumably, the versatile forward ephrin-Eph signals are transmitted by the cytoplasmic 3 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/263137; this version posted February 9, 2018.

However, the cytoplasmic portion of all 14 Eph receptors are 69 highly similar, each containing a membrane-juxtaposing kinase domain, a protein- 70 binding SAM domain immediately followed by a short carboxyl tail PDZ domain 71 binding motif (PBM) (Figure 1A). The cytoplasmic portions of Eph receptors are often 72 presumed to function similarly. However, multiple Eph receptors are typically co- 73 expressed in one tissue. Paradoxically, it has been observed that two different Eph 74 receptors on the same cell type can respond to a single ephrin ligand but elicit opposite 75 cellular responses. For example, ephrin-A5 binds to EphA2 and EphA4 with similar 76 affinity but induces cell adhesion or cell collapse, respectively (Cooper et al., 2008; 77 Zhou et al., 2007). Therefore, the cytoplasmic domains of Eph receptors must be able 78 to engage different intracellular effectors in response to ephrin ligands. How specific 79 Eph receptor cytoplasmic domain-mediated signaling might occur has been a major 80 unresolved question in the ephrin-Eph signaling. 81 We reasoned that the SAM domain of each Eph receptor is likely to play a role in 82 specifying their cytoplasmic effector engagements for the following two reasons. First, 83 SAM domain is a well-known protein-protein interaction module (Qiao and Bowie, 84 2005), and the SAM domain of EphA2 is known to bind to SAM domain from SHIP2 85 (SH2 domain-containing Inositol 5'-Phosphatase 2, aka INPPL1 for INositol 86 Polyphosphate Phosphatase-Like protein 1) and Odin (aka Anks1a) (Kim et al., 2010; 87 Lee et al., 2012; Leone et al., 2009; Mercurio et al., 2012; Zhuang et al., 2007), though 88 the binding properties of the SAM domains from other Eph receptors are largely 89 unknown. Second, although the PBM sequences of Eph receptors are somewhat 4 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/263137; this version posted February 9, 2018.

In this study, we systematically characterized and 93 compared the bindings of the SAM domain from every Eph receptor to the SAM 94 domains from SHIP2 and Odin. This characterization revealed a highly specific Eph 95 SAM and effector SAM binding pattern. We then elucidated the mechanistic basis 96 governing such specific Eph SAM and effector SAM binding by solving several pairs 97 of the SAM-SAM heterodimer complexes structures. Such comparative structural 98 analysis, together with biochemical, bioinformatics and cell biology studies, revealed 99 an exquisitely specific effector binding code mediated by the Eph SAM domains, which 100 helps to answer the major question on the ephrin-Eph forward signaling specificity. 101 Additionally, our study also provides mechanistic explanations to numerous disease- 102 causing mutations identified in the SAM domains of Eph receptors, and allows us to 103 discover SAMD5 as a new intracellular effector of Eph receptors. 104 105 Results 106 Interactions between Eph SAM domains and SHIP2 SAM or Odin SAM1 107 SHIP2 is a mammalian inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases and is the only 108 member in the family that contains a C-terminal SAM domain (Figure 1A). It has been 109 reported that SHIP2 was a binding partner of EphA2 through SAM-SAM interaction 110 (Lee et al., 2012; Leone et al., 2009). We first confirmed this interaction. Both Eph 111 SAM and SHIP2 SAM alone behaved as homogeneous monomers in solution as 5 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/263137; this version posted February 9, 2018.

While the 1:1 mixture of 113 EphA2 SAM and SHIP2 SAM was eluted at a smaller volume than the individual 114 protein, suggesting the formation of a hetero SAM-SAM complex (Figure 1B). ITC 115 (Isothermal Titration Calorimetry) experiment revealed that EphA2 SAM bound to 116 SHIP2 SAM with a dissociation constant (Kd) of ~2.22 μM at a 1:1 stoichiometry 117 (Figure 1C).

Eph receptors constitute the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases, which are activated by ephrin ligands that either are anchored to the membrane or contain a transmembrane domain. Tese molecules play important roles in the development of multicellular organisms, and the physiological functions of these receptor-ligand pairs have been extensively documented in axon guidance, neuronal development, vascular patterning, and infammation during tissue injury. Te recognition that aberrant regulation and expression of these molecules lead to alterations in proliferative, migratory, and invasive potential of a variety of human cancers has made them potential targets for cancer therapeutics. We present here the involvement of Eph receptors and ephrin ligands in lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, glioblastoma, and medulloblastoma. Te aberrations in their abundances are described in the context of multiple signaling pathways, and diferential expression is suggested as the mechanism underlying tumorigenesis.

Received: 14 March 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 28 April 2019 Abstract: Embryo implantation in the mink follows the pattern of many carnivores, in that preimplantation embryo diapause occurs in every gestation. Details of the gene expression and regulatory networks that terminate embryo diapause remain poorly understood. Illumina RNA- Seq was used to analyze global gene expression changes in the mink uterus during embryo diapause and activation leading to implantation. More than 50 million high quality reads were generated, and assembled into 170,984 unigenes. A total of 1684 differential expressed genes (DEGs) in uteri with blastocysts in diapause were compared to the activated embryo group (p < 0.05).

Lee1,2, Jianmin Wu4, Alexander Levitzki3, and Roger J. Daly1,2 Abstract The small-molecule drug NT157 has demonstrated promising kinase AXL exhibited a rapid decrease in phosphorylation in efficacy in preclinical models of a number of different cancer response to drug treatment, followed by proteasome-dependent types, reflecting activity against both cancer cells and the tumor degradation, identifying an additional potential target for NT157 microenvironment. Two known mechanisms of action are deg- action. However, NT157 treatment also resulted in increased radation of insulin receptor substrates (IRS)-1/2 and reduced activation of p38 MAPK a and g, as well as the JNKs and specific Stat3 activation, although it is possible that others exist.
