Gene Description

PEA15 is a small cytoplasmic death-effector-domain protein that directly binds ERK1/2 and modulates their activity and subcellular distribution. It inhibits death-receptor apoptosis through interactions involving FADD and caspase-8. Its effects on GLUT1 and GLUT4 trafficking regulate glucose uptake; it is a signaling regulator rather than a transmembrane glucose carrier.

GO:0000165 MAPK cascade
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: PEA15 directly modulates ERK MAP kinase signaling.
Reason: The ERK2–PEA15 structures and biochemical experiments establish direct binding and altered kinase conformation/activity. Participation in the MAPK cascade is a supported regulatory role; PEA15 need not itself be a kinase.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain the curated interaction without treating generic protein binding as core function.
Reason: The IPI observation from PMID:10442631 is retained as an interaction observation. PEA15's established mechanistic functions are ERK regulation and death-receptor signaling; generic binding alone does not establish a distinct core activity or physiological role for every partner.

GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: Cytoplasmic/cytosolic localization is consistent with PEA15 signaling regulation.
Reason: PEA15 binds cytoplasmic ERK and regulates its distribution; the soluble death-effector-domain architecture and curated localization support this compartment. The selected horse sequence retains the entire human core, but its extra N-terminal segment is not assumed to be functionally neutral.

UNDECIDED
Summary: The microtubule-associated-complex assignment requires source verification.
Reason: The cached abstract of PMID:8662970 describes a microtubule-associated protein in mouse astrocytes and conservation of mouse and human transcripts. The full text is unavailable, so the experimental basis for assigning human PEA15 to a microtubule-associated complex remains unresolved. ERK binding and cytoplasmic localization alone do not establish this complex membership.
GO:0042981 regulation of apoptotic process
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: PEA15 regulates apoptotic signaling through death-effector-domain interactions.
Reason: Human-cell overexpression and co-precipitation experiments demonstrate inhibition of Fas/TNFR1-dependent caspase-8 activation involving FADD. This supports apoptotic regulation; the conserved horse core supports transfer of the mechanism.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10442631
Thus, PED/PEA-15 is an endogenous protein inhibiting FAS and TNFR1-mediated apoptosis.

ACCEPT
Summary: PEA15 inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose import by regulating GLUT4 recruitment.
Reason: The primary study expresses cloned human PEA15 in L6 skeletal muscle cells and observes reduced insulin-stimulated transport and surface GLUT4. This is regulatory involvement in glucose import, not intrinsic carbohydrate-transporter activity.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9670003
Transfection of PED/PEA-15 in differentiating L6 skeletal muscle cells increases the content of Glut1 transporters on the plasma membrane and inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose transport and cell-surface recruitment of Glut4
GO:1902042 negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PEA15 can inhibit death-receptor-mediated extrinsic apoptosis.
Reason: The human primary experiment shows protection from FasL and TNFalpha effects and impaired FADD–caspase-8 association. This is the specific pathway represented by the annotation. The horse protein preserves the human death-effector-domain sequence, although the effect of its N-terminal extension has not been measured.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10442631
Thus, PED/PEA-15 is an endogenous protein inhibiting FAS and TNFR1-mediated apoptosis.
