Background  It has been reported that cellular prion protein (PrP c ) co-localizes with caveolin-1 and participates to signal transduction events by recruiting Fyn kinase. As PrP c  is a secreted protein anchored to the outer surface membrane through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor ( sec PrP) and caveolin-1 is located in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane, there is a problem of how the two proteins can physically interact each other and transduce signals.    Results  By using the GST-fusion proteins system we observed that PrP c  strongly interacts with caveolin-1 scaffolding domain and with a caveolin-1 hydrophilic C-terminal region, but not with the caveolin-1 N-terminal region. In vitro binding experiments were also performed to define the site(s) of PrP c  interacting with cav-1. The results are consistent with a participation of PrP c  octapeptide repeats motif in the binding to caveolin-1 scaffolding domain. The caveolar localization of PrP c  was ascertained by co-immunoprecipitation, by co-localization after flotation in density gradients and by confocal microscopy analysis of PrP c  and caveolin-1 distributions in a neuronal cell line (GN11) expressing caveolin-1 at high levels.    Conclusions  We observed that, after antibody-mediated cross-linking or copper treatment, PrP c  was internalized probably into caveolae. We propose that following translocation from rafts to caveolae or caveolae-like domains,  sec PrP could interact with caveolin-1 and induce signal transduction events.
