Structural basis for nucleotide-dependent regulation of membrane-associated guanylate kinase-like domains.

چکیده
CASK is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUK) homologs, a family of proteins that scaffold protein complexes at particular regions of the plasma membrane by utilizing multiple protein-binding domains. The GK domain of MAGUKs, which shares high similarity in amino acid sequence with yeast guanylate kinase (yGMPK), is the least characterized MAGUK domain both in structure and function. In addition to its scaffolding function, the GK domain of hCASK has been shown to be involved in transcription regulation. Here we report the crystal structure of the GK domain of human CASK (hCASK-GK) at 1.3-A resolution. The structure rationalizes the inability of the GK domain to catalyze phosphoryl transfer and strongly supports its new function as a protein-binding module. Comparison of the hCASK-GK structure with the available crystal structures of yGMPK provides insight into possible conformational changes that occur in hCASK upon GMP binding. These conformational changes may act to regulate hCASK-GK function in a nucleotide-dependent manner.

MAGUKs (membrane-associated guanylate kinase homologs) are proteins involved in cell junction organization, tumor suppression, and signalling. Their structure includes one or three copies of a DHR or PDZ domain (discs-large homologous region or PSD-95/SAP90, discs-large ZO-1 homologous domain), an SH3 domain, and a guanylate kinase domain. MAGUKs were classified into two subfamilies: Dlg-like w...
متن کاملMembrane-associated guanylate kinase-like properties of beta-subunits required for modulation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels.
High-voltage-activated Ca2+ channels regulate diverse functions ranging from muscle contraction to synaptic transmission. Association between auxiliary beta- and distinct pore-forming alpha1-subunits is obligatory for forming functional high-voltage-activated Ca2+ channels, yet the structural determinants underlying this interaction remain poorly understood. Recently, homology modeling of Ca(2+...
متن کاملAllosteric control of regulated scaffolding in membrane-associated guanylate kinases.
Membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) organize protein complexes at specific cellular sites by regulating interactions with their COOH-terminal guanylate kinase-like domains (GKs). Negative regulation of MAGUK GKs by an adjacent Src homology 3 domain (SH3) is critical for function, yet the mechanism is poorly understood. To gain insight into this process, we investigated SH3 regulation...

Spatial and temporal regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) is a key event in many signaling pathways. Plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases (PMCAs) are major regulators of Ca(2+) homeostasis and bind to PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1) domains via their C termini. Various membrane-associated guanylate kinase family members have been identified as interaction partners of PMCAs. In particular, SAP90/PSD95, PSD93/chap...
