Sodium regulation of GAF domain function.
نویسنده
چکیده
Cyclic nucleotide PDEs (phosphodiesterases) regulate cellular levels of cAMP and cGMP by controlling the rate of degradation. Several mammalian PDE isoforms possess N-terminal GAF (found in cGMP PDEs, Anabaena adenylate cyclases and Escherichia coli FhlA; where FhlA is formate hydrogen lyase transcriptional activator) domains that bind cyclic nucleotides. Similarly, the CyaB1 and CyaB2 ACs (adenylate cyclases) of the cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7120 bind cAMP through one (CyaB1) or two (CyaB2) N-terminal GAF domains and mediate autoregulation of the AC domain. Sodium inhibits the activity of CyaB1, CyaB2 and mammalian PDE2A in vitro through modulation of GAF domain function. Furthermore, genetic ablation of cyaB1 and cyaB2 gives rise to Anabaena strains defective in homoeostasis at limiting sodium. Sodium regulation of GAF domain function has therefore been conserved since the eukaryotic/prokaryotic divergence. The GAF domain is the first identified protein domain to directly sense and signal changes in environmental sodium.

Cyclic nucleotide binding and structural changes in the isolated GAF domain of Anabaena adenylyl cyclase, CyaB2
GAF domains are a large family of regulatory domains, and a subset are found associated with enzymes involved in cyclic nucleotide (cNMP) metabolism such as adenylyl cyclases and phosphodiesterases. CyaB2, an adenylyl cyclase from Anabaena, contains two GAF domains in tandem at the N-terminus and an adenylyl cyclase domain at the C-terminus. Cyclic AMP, but not cGMP, binding to the GAF domains ...

NifA is the transcriptional activator of the nif genes in Proteobacteria. It is usually regulated by nitrogen and oxygen, allowing biological nitrogen fixation to occur under appropriate conditions. NifA proteins have a typical three-domain structure, including a regulatory N-terminal GAF domain, which is involved in control by fixed nitrogen and not strictly required for activity, a catalytic ...

The photoreceptor phosphodiesterase (PDE6) regulates the intracellular levels of the second messenger cGMP in the outer segments of cone and rod photoreceptor cells. PDE6 contains two regulatory GAF domains, of which one (GAF A) binds cGMP and regulates the activity of the PDE6 holoenzyme. To increase our understanding of this allosteric regulation mechanism, we present the 2.6A crystal structu...

The cGMP-binding cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE5) contains a catalytic domain that hydrolyzes cGMP and a regulatory (R) domain that contains two GAFs (a and b; GAF is derived from the proteins mammalian cGMP-binding PDEs, Anabaena adenylyl cyclases, and Escherichia coli (FhlA)). The R domain binds cGMP allosterically, provides for dimerization, and is phosphorylated at a site regulated by...
متن کاملMechanism for the allosteric regulation of phosphodiesterase 2A deduced from the X-ray structure of a near full-length construct.
We report the X-ray crystal structure of a phosphodiesterase (PDE) that includes both catalytic and regulatory domains. PDE2A (215-900) crystallized as a dimer in which each subunit had an extended organization of regulatory GAF-A and GAF-B and catalytic domains connected by long alpha-helices. The subunits cross at the GAF-B/catalytic domain linker, and each side of the dimer contains in serie...
