Transferrin receptor trafficking protein (TTP) is a key molecule for selective internalization of the transferrin receptor (Tf-R) through endocytic protein complexes. To identify the proteins that directly regulate TTP, we performed a yeast two-hybrid analysis and identified 14-3-3, which can modulate the activation state of target proteins. Subsequent analyses demonstrated that TTP directly binds to multiple 14-3-3 isotypes via its Ser245 residue (Ser246 in human) and that these proteins are associated at the plasma membrane. Ser245 was also found to be a substrate for AKT and the resulting Ser245 phosphorylation induced the TTP–14-3-3 interaction. Exposure to hydrogen peroxide rapidly enhanced this association in an ovarian cell line. These results suggest that TTP Ser245 is the principal target for the modulation of this protein via the AKT signalling cascade.
