Abstract
Ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 55 (ANKRD55) is genetically associated with multiple sclerosis, but its cellular function remains incompletely defined. To investigate its potential role in neuroinflammatory pathways, we mapped ANKRD55-interacting proteins in neuroblastoma, astrocytic, microglial, and monocytic cell lines by affinity purification–mass spectrometry. Across all four cell lines, 14-3-3 isoforms were the most reproducible partners, whereas the IMhu-M microglial interactome uniquely contained eight intraflagellar transport complex B (IFT-B) components. In visible immunoprecipitation assays, IFT46–IFT56 was the smallest tested IFT-B subassembly sufficient to support detectable association with ANKRD55. Confocal microscopy localized endogenous ANKRD55 to pericentriolar material and basal bodies, but not to primary cilia, and identified partial association with P-body markers. These data distinguish a conserved 14-3-3 interaction core from cell-restricted centrosomal/IFT-B and RNP-associated ANKRD55 pools.
