SRCIN1/p140Cap (identified as SNIP) was discovered as a novel SNAP-25-interacting protein; the interaction is mediated via coiled-coil domains, and overexpression of SNIP or its SNAP-25-interacting domain inhibits Ca2+-dependent exocytosis from PC12 cells. SNIP co-localizes with SNAP-25 and cortical actin cytoskeleton, suggesting it links SNAP-25 to the submembranous cytoskeleton. |

p140Cap (SRCIN1) was identified as a p130Cas-associated protein that is tyrosine-phosphorylated upon integrin-mediated cell adhesion and EGF stimulation; it co-immunoprecipitates with p130Cas via its carboxy-terminal region, co-localizes with cortical actin and actin stress fibers (but not focal adhesions), and its expression delays cell spreading on fibronectin. |

p140Cap/SRCIN1 was characterized as a novel Src-binding protein that inhibits Src kinase activity through activation of C-terminal Src kinase (Csk). p140Cap silencing increases cell spreading, migration, and Src activity; increased p140Cap expression activates Csk, inhibits Src and downstream signaling, impairs cell motility/invasion, and suppresses in vivo breast cancer cell growth. |

p140Cap is expressed in rat brain in a developmentally regulated manner, enriched in the synaptic plasma membrane fraction, localizes to pre- and post-synaptic sites by electron microscopy, and forms a complex with vinexin (via its third SH3 domain binding to the C-terminal Pro-rich motif of p140Cap) and with synaptophysin, suggesting roles in neurotransmitter release and synapse formation. |

p140Cap/SRCIN1 immobilizes E-cadherin at the cell membrane and inhibits EGFR and Erk1/2 signaling, blocking scatter and proliferation of cancer cells; this E-cadherin/EGFR cross-talk regulation is dependent on Src kinase inhibition. Additionally, p140Cap impairs Erk1/2 phosphorylation independently of Src by affecting Ras activity downstream of EGFR. |

p140Cap suppresses metastasis in vivo (80% reduction in lung metastases) and inhibits directional migration by associating with cortactin via its second proline-rich domain binding to the cortactin SH3 domain, inhibiting cortactin tyrosine phosphorylation (Y421) in response to EGF; a phosphomimetic cortactin Y421 mutant rescues migration in p140Cap-overexpressing cells. |

SNAP-25 binds p140Cap at the plasma membrane in postsynaptic compartments, and this interaction is required for spine morphogenesis; acute reduction of SNAP-25 leads to immature dendritic spines, while overexpression increases density of mature PSD-95-positive spines in a manner dependent on SNAP-25 binding to both the plasma membrane and p140Cap. |

p140Cap is phosphorylated in vivo on tyrosine within the EGLYA motif (by mass spectrometry); mutagenesis of both EPLYA/EGLYA tyrosines abolishes tyrosine phosphorylation and eliminates binding to Csk. The Abelson (Abl) kinase is identified as the major kinase phosphorylating p140Cap on EPLYA and EGLYA sequences both in vitro and in HEK-293 cells. |

p140Cap/SRCIN1 regulates GABAergic synaptogenesis: p140Cap is present in presynaptic GABAergic terminals, and its genetic depletion results in a larger synaptic vesicle readily releasable pool, increased mIPSC frequency without amplitude change, premature/enhanced network synchronization, increased susceptibility to seizures, and increased number of inhibitory synapses and parvalbumin/somatostatin interneurons. Specific deletion in forebrain interneurons recapitulates these phenotypes. |
