Protein

Interaction

Domain

Ref

AATF/Che-1

Inhibits Par-4-mediated processing of β-amyloid precursor protein

LZ

121

Akt

Phosphorylates and sequesters Par-4 in the cytoplasm and blocks apoptosis

LZ, Thr163

10,36

Amida

Recruits Amida to actin cytoskeleton, leading to the induction of apoptosis

LZ

122

aPKC

Inhibits the activity of PKCζ, thereby inhibits PKCζ-mediated promotion of NF-κB activity

LZ

40,41

BACE1

Directly regulates amyloid precursor protein cleavage activity of BACE1

LZ

19

CK-2

Impairs the pro-apoptotic activity of Par-4

Ser231

31

D2DR

Facilitates Ca2+-mediated downregulation of D2DR efficacy and signaling

LZ

123

DAPK3

Relocates DAPK3 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, particularly to actin filaments

LZ

124

E2F1

Indirectly controls the transcription of Smac gene through interacting with E2F1

LZ

60

Fbxo45

Promotes ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of Par-4

VASA

28,29

PKA

Promotes nuclear translocation of Par-4 and induces apoptosis

Ser228

30,125

SQSTM1/p62

Antagonizes Par-4-mediated inhibition of PKCζ by forming a ternary complex

LZ

41

THAP1

Potentiates both serum withdrawal- and TNFα-induced apoptosis

LZ

126

TOP1

Sequesters TOP1, attenuating its DNA relaxing catalytic activity

LZ

127

TRIM21

Down-regulates Par-4 and promotes cancer survival

NA

128

UACA

Prevents Par-4-mediated translocation of GRP78 from the ER to the cell surface

NA

42

Vimentin

Sequesters Par-4 preventing its secretion and extracellular function

NA

74

WT1

Repress WT1 and negatively modulates its transcription of Bcl-2, thereby induces apoptosis

LZ

129,130
