Understanding the molecular basis of substrate binding specificity of PTB domains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protein-protein interactions mediated by phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domains play a crucial role in various cellular processes. In order to understand the structural basis of substrate recognition by PTB domains, multiple explicit solvent atomistic simulations of 100ns duration have been carried out on 6 PTB-peptide complexes with known binding affinities. MM/PBSA binding energy values calculated from these MD trajectories and residue based statistical pair potential score show good correlation with the experimental dissociation constants. Our analysis also shows that the modeled structures of PTB domains can be used to develop less compute intensive residue level statistical pair potential based approaches for predicting interaction partners of PTB domains.

Sequence-specific recognition of the internalization motif of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein by the X11 PTB domain.
The crystal structure of the phosphotyrosine-binding domain (PTB) of the X11 protein has been determined, in complex with unphosphorylated peptides corresponding to a region of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) that is required for receptor internalization. The mode of binding to X11 of the unphosphorylated peptides, which contain an NPxY motif, resembles that of phosphorylated peptides ...

Protein tyrosine phosphatases, SH2 and PTB domains are crucial elements for cellular signal transduction and regulation. Much effort has been directed towards elucidating their specificity in the past decade using a variety of approaches. Combinatorial library methods have contributed significantly to the understanding of substrate and ligand specificity of phosphoprotein recognizing domains. T...
متن کاملSrc homology 3 domain-dependent interaction of Nck-2 with insulin receptor substrate-1.
Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is a multi-domain protein that mediates signal transduction from receptors for insulin and other growth factors to a variety of downstream molecules through both tyrosine-phosphorylation-dependent and -independent interactions. While the tyrosine-phosphorylation-dependent interactions mediated by IRS-1 have been well characterized, the molecular basis underl...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the pleckstrin homology-phosphotyrosine binding (PH-PTB) targeting region of insulin receptor substrate 1.
We have determined the crystal structure at 2.3-A resolution of an amino-terminal segment of human insulin receptor substrate 1 that encompasses its pleckstrin homology (PH) and phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domains. Both domains adopt the canonical seven-stranded beta-sandwich PH domain fold. The domains are closely associated, with a 720-A(2) contact surface buried between them that appears t...
متن کاملMolecular Basis for Interaction between Icap 1 PTB Domain and 1 Integrin
Icap1 is a 200-amino acid protein that binds to the COOH-terminal 13 amino acids (AVTTVVNPKYEGK) of the integrin 1 subunit. Alanine scanning mutagenesis of this region revealed that Val, Val, and NPKY are critical for Icap1 binding. The NPXY motif is a known binding substrate for phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain proteins. The sequences of Icap1 , residues 58–200, and the 1 integrin, residue...
