Suprachiasmatic nucleus circadian oscillatory protein (SCOP) is a member of the leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing protein family. In addition to circadian expression in the rat hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus, SCOP is constitutively expressed in neurons throughout the rat brain. Here we found that a substantial amount of SCOP was localized in the brain membrane rafts, in which only K-Ras was abundant among Ras isoforms. SCOP interacted directly through its LRR domain with a subset of K-Ras in the guanine nucleotide-free form that was present in the raft fraction. This interaction interfered with the binding of added guanine nucleotide to K-Ras in vitro. A negative regulatory role of SCOP for K-Ras function was examined in PC12 cell lines stably overexpressing SCOP or its deletion mutants. Overexpression of full-length SCOP markedly down-regulated ERK1/ERK2 activation induced by depolarization or phorbol ester stimulation, and this inhibitory effect of overexpressed SCOP was dependent on its LRR domain. These results strongly suggest that SCOP negatively regulates K-Ras signaling in the membrane rafts, identifying a novel mechanism for regulation of the Ras-MAPK pathway.
