Supplementary information

ZIP-9 also known as SLC39A9 is a member of the zinc transporter family that plays an important role in regulating zinc homeostasis. It functions by facilitating the influx of zinc from extracellular space into the cytoplasm. ZIP-9 with a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa is expressed in various tissues including the liver kidney and reproductive organs. It possesses a characteristic structure with eight transmembrane domains and is localized primarily in the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum.
Biological function summary

ZIP-9 acts as a membrane androgen receptor and is involved in non-genomic androgen signaling. It does not typically form part of a larger complex but its activity greatly influences cellular zinc levels and hormone signaling pathways. ZIP-9 triggers rapid signaling events upon androgen binding which may affect multiple cellular processes including apoptosis proliferation and differentiation indicating its role in cellular response to hormonal and nutritional changes.

Pathways

Zinc is a central element in cellular signaling processes which involve ZIP-9 particularly in the MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. ZIP-9's role in zinc transport affects these pathways by regulating intracellular zinc concentrations which in turn can influence downstream signaling events. ZIP-9 interactions with other proteins such as ZIP4 in the zinc transporter family impact zinc-mediated signaling dynamics and cellular homeostasis.

Abnormal ZIP-9 function has been associated with prostate cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In prostate cancer ZIP-9's role in androgen signaling enhances tumor cell growth and proliferation linking it to androgen receptor pathways. Likewise in PCOS disturbances in zinc metabolism through ZIP-9 can contribute to the hormonal imbalances observed in this disorder. Studying ZIP-9 interactions particularly with androgen receptors may provide insights into therapeutic strategies for these conditions.

Target data

Transports zinc ions across cell and organelle membranes into the cytoplasm and regulates intracellular zinc homeostasis (PubMed : 19420709, PubMed : 25014355, PubMed : 28219737). Participates in the zinc ions efflux out of the secretory compartments (PubMed : 19420709). Regulates intracellular zinc level, resulting in the enhancement of AKT1 and MAPK3/MAPK1 (Erk1/2) phosphorylation in response to the BCR activation (PubMed : 23505453). Also functions as a membrane androgen receptor that mediates, through a G protein, the non-classical androgen signaling pathway, characterized by the activation of MAPK3/MAPK1 (Erk1/2) and transcription factors CREB1 or ATF1 (By similarity). This pathway contributes to CLDN1 and CLDN5 expression and tight junction formation between adjacent Sertoli cells (By similarity). Mediates androgen-induced vascular endothelial cell proliferation through activation of an inhibitory G protein leading to the AKT1 and MAPK3/MAPK1 (Erk1/2) activation which in turn modulate inhibition (phosphorylation) of GSK3B and CCND1 transcription (PubMed : 34555425). Moreover, has dual functions as a membrane-bound androgen receptor and as an androgen-dependent zinc transporter both of which are mediated through an inhibitory G protein (Gi) that mediates both MAP kinase and zinc signaling leading to the androgen-dependent apoptotic process (PubMed : 25014355, PubMed : 28219737).
