Caveolins are scaffolding proteins able to collect on caveolae a large number of signalling proteins bearing a caveolin-binding motif. The proteins of the striatin family, striatin, SG2NA, and zinedin, are composed of several conserved, collinearly aligned, protein-protein association domains, among which a putative caveolin-binding domain [Castets et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 19970-19977]. They are associated in part with membranes. These proteins are mainly expressed within neurons and thought to act both as scaffolds and as Ca(2+)-dependent signalling proteins [Bartoli et al. (1999) J. Neurobiol. 40, 234-243]. Here, we show that (1) rat brain striatin, SG2NA and zinedin co-immunoprecipitate with caveolin-1; (2) all are pulled down by glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-caveolin-1; (3) a fragment of recombinant striatin containing the putative caveolin-binding domain binds GST-caveolin-1. Hence, it is likely that the proteins of the striatin family are addressed to membrane microdomains by their binding to caveolin, in accordance with their putative role in membrane trafficking [Baillat et al. (2001) Mol. Biol. Cell 12, 663-673].
