Structure of the first C2 domain of synaptotagmin I: A novel Ca2+/phospholipid-binding fold
C2 domains are regulatory sequence motifs that occur widely in nature. Synaptotagmin I, a synaptic vesicle protein involved in the Ca2+ regulation of exocytosis, contains two C2 domains, the first of which acts as a Ca2+ sensor. We now describe the three-dimensional structure of this C2 domain at 1.9 A resolution in both the Ca(2+)-bound and Ca(2+)-free forms. The C2 polypeptide forms an eight-...
متن کاملDual roles of the C2B domain of synaptotagmin I in synchronizing Ca2+-dependent neurotransmitter release.
Although the vesicular protein synaptotagmin I contains two Ca2+-binding domains (C2A and C2B), Ca2+ binding to the C2B domain is more important for triggering synchronous neurotransmitter release. We have used point mutagenesis to determine the functional contributions of the five negatively charged aspartate (Asp) residues that constitute the Ca2+-binding sites in the C2B domain of synaptotag...
متن کاملQuantitative Detection of Inositol Hexakisphosphate (InsP6) in Crop Plants Using Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE)
Inositol phosphates are essential for cell development and signaling in all living organisms. Inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) is the most abundant phosphoinositol in both plants and animals. While the concentration of inorganic phosphorous (Pi) is often limited in soil, some plants overcome this limitation by creating a phosphate reservoir that serves as a source of Pi during phosphate defici...
متن کاملIntracellular and extracellular myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6), from rats to humans.
The presence of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) in biological fluids (blood, urine, saliva, interstitial fluid) of mammalians has been clearly demonstrated. The existence of intracellular InsP6 in mammalian cells has also been established. Further, significant extracellular and intracellular functions of this molecule have been found. The relationship between InsP6 ingestion and the InsP6...
متن کاملVesicle-associated membrane protein-2/synaptobrevin binding to synaptotagmin I promotes O-glycosylation of synaptotagmin I.
Synaptotagmin I (Syt I), an evolutionarily conserved integral membrane protein of synaptic vesicles, is now known to regulate Ca2+-dependent neurotransmitter release. Syt I protein should undergo several post-translational modifications before maturation and subsequent functioning on synaptic vesicles (e.g. N-glycosylation and fatty acylation in vertebrate Syt I), because the apparent molecular...
