Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding to the C2A and C2B domains of synaptotagmin 1 is thought to trigger fast neurotransmitter release, but only Ca2+ binding to the C2B domain is essential for release. To investigate the underlying mechanism, we have compared the role of basic residues in Ca2+/phospholipid binding and in release. Mutations in a polybasic sequence on the side of the C2B domain beta-sandwich or in a basic residue in a top Ca2+-binding loop of the C2A domain (R233) cause comparable decreases in the apparent Ca2+ affinity of synaptotagmin 1 and the Ca2+ sensitivity of release, whereas mutation of the residue homologous to Arg233 in the C2B domain (Lys366) has no effect. Phosphatidylinositol polyphosphates co-activate Ca2+-dependent and -independent phospholipid binding to synaptotagmin 1, but the effects of these mutations on release only correlate with their effects on the Ca2+-dependent component. These results reveal clear distinctions in the Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding modes of the synaptotagmin 1 C2 domains that may underlie their functional asymmetry and suggest that phosphatidylinositol polyphosphates may serve as physiological modulators of Ca2+ affinity of synaptotagmin 1 in vivo. 相似文献

Group IV cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) has been shown to play a critical role in eicosanoid biosynthesis. cPLA(2) is composed of the C2 domain that mediates the Ca(2+)-dependent interfacial binding of protein and the catalytic domain. To elucidate the mechanism of interfacial activation of cPLA(2), we measured the effects of mutations of selected ionic and hydrophobic residues in the catalytic domain on the enzyme activity and the membrane binding of cPLA(2). Mutations of anionic residues located on (Glu(419) and Glu(420)) or near (Asp(436), Asp(438), Asp(439), and Asp(440)) the active site lid enhanced the affinity for cPLA(2) for anionic membranes, implying that the electrostatic repulsion between these residues and the anionic membrane surface might trigger the opening of the active site. This notion is further supported by a biphasic dependence of cPLA(2) activity on the anionic lipid composition of the vesicles. Mutations of a cluster of cationic residues (Lys(541), Lys(543), Lys(544), and Arg(488)), while significantly enhancing the activity of enzyme, abrogated the specific activation effect by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)). These data, in conjunction with cell activity of cPLA(2) and mutants transfected into HEK293 cells, suggest that the cationic residues form a specific binding site for PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and that the specific PtdIns(4,5)P(2) binding is involved in cellular activation of cPLA(2). Also, three hydrophobic residues at the rim of the active site (Ile(399), Leu(400), and Leu(552)) were shown to partially penetrate the membrane, thereby promoting membrane binding and activation of cPLA(2). Based on these results, we propose an interfacial activation mechanism for cPLA(2) which involves the removal of the active site lid by nonspecific electrostatic repulsion, the interdomain hinge movement induced by specific PtdIns(4,5)P(2) binding, and the partial membrane penetration by catalytic domain hydrophobic residues. 相似文献

The addition of bradykinin to 32Pi-labeled neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells caused a substantial loss of radioactivity from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI-4,5-P2). The bradykinin-induced hydrolysis of PI-4,5-P2 was almost equally observed even when extracellular Ca2+ was depleted with EGTA (100 microns). On the other hand, high K+ depolarization of the cells, which allows Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, failed to induce any significant decrease in the radioactivity of PI-4,5-P2. These data indicate that the bradykinin-stimulated PI-4,5-P2 hydrolysis in NG108-15 cells is independent of extracellular Ca2+ and also that PI-4,5-P2 hydrolysis is not stimulated by an elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. 相似文献

Most types of plant phospholipase D (PLD) require Ca(2+) for activity, but how Ca(2+) affects PLD activity is not well understood. We reported previously that Ca(2+) binds to the regulatory C2 domain that occurs in the N terminus of the Ca(2+)-requiring PLDs. Using Arabidopsis thaliana PLDbeta and C2-deleted PLDbeta (PLDbetacat), we now show that Ca(2+) also interacts with the catalytic regions of PLD. PLDbetacat exhibited Ca(2+)-dependent activity, was much less active, and required a higher level of Ca(2+) than the full-length PLDbeta. Ca(2+) binding of the proteins was stimulated by phospholipids; phosphatidylserine was the most effective among those tested. Scatchard plot analysis of Ca(2+) binding data yielded an estimate of 3.6 high affinity (K(d) = 29 mum) binding sites on PLDbeta. The Ca(2+)-PLDbetacat interaction increased the affinity of the protein for the activator, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, but not for the substrate, phosphatidylcholine. This is in contrast to the effect of Ca(2+) binding to the C2 domain, which stimulates phosphatidylcholine binding but inhibits phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate binding of the domain. These results demonstrate the contrasting and complementary effects of the Ca(2+)- and lipid-binding properties of the C2 and catalytic domains of plant PLD and provide insight into the mechanism by which Ca(2+) regulates PLD activity. 相似文献

The C2 domain was originally defined as a homologous domain to the C2 regulatory region of Ca2+ -dependent protein kinase C and has been identified in more than 50 different signaling molecules. The original C2 domain of protein kinase Calpha functions as a Ca2+ binding module, and the Ca2+ binding to the C2 domain allows translocation of proteins to phospholipid membranes. By contrast, however, some C2 domains do not exhibit Ca2+ binding activity because of amino acid substitutions at Ca2+ -binding sites, and their physiological meanings remain largely unknown. In this study, we discovered an unexpected function of the Ca2+ -independent C2A domain of double C2 protein gamma (Doc2gamma) in nuclear localization. Deletion and mutation analyses revealed that the putative Ca2+ binding loop 3 of Doc2gamma contains six Arg residues ((177)RLRRRRR(183)) and that this basic cluster is both necessary and sufficient for nuclear localization of Doc2gamma. Because of the presence of the basic cluster, the C2A domain of Doc2gamma did not show Ca2+ -dependent phospholipid binding activity. Our findings indicate that by changing the nature of the putative Ca2+ binding loops the C2 domain has more diversified function in cellular signaling than a simple Ca2+ binding motif. 相似文献

The mechanism involved in [Ca(2+)](i)-dependent feedback inhibition of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is not yet known. Expression of Ca(2+)-insensitive calmodulin (Mut-CaM) but not wild-type CaM increased SOCE and decreased its Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation. Expression of TrpC1 lacking C terminus aa 664-793 (TrpC1DeltaC) also attenuated Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of SOCE. CaM interacted with endogenous and expressed TrpC1 and with GST-TrpC1 C terminus but not with TrpC1DeltaC. Two CaM binding domains, aa 715-749 and aa 758-793, were identified. Expression of TrpC1Delta758-793 but not TrpC1Delta715-749 mimicked the effects of TrpC1DeltaC and Mut-CaM on SOCE. These data demonstrate that CaM mediates Ca(2+)-dependent feedback inhibition of SOCE via binding to a domain in the C terminus of TrpC1. These findings reveal an integral role for TrpC1 in the regulation of SOCE. 相似文献

A recently purified Ca(2+)-dependent intracellular phospholipase A2 from spleen, kidney and macrophage cell lines is activated by Ca2+ at concentrations achieved intracellularly. Using enzyme from the murine cell line J774 we here demonstrate the formation of a ternary complex of phospholipase, 45Ca2+ and phospholipid vesicle, and provide evidence for a single Ca(2+)-binding site on the enzyme involved in its vesicle binding. Although Ca2+ binds to and functions as an activator of the enzyme, this ion does not appear to be involved in its catalytic mechanism, since enzyme brought to the phospholipid vesicle by molar concentrations of NaCl or NH4+ salts exhibited Ca(2+)-independent catalytic activity. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides by purified sheep seminal vesicle phospholipase C enzymes 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

Sheep seminal vesicles contain two immunologically distinct phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes that can hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol (PI) (Hofmann, S.L., and Majerus, P.W. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 6461-6469). One of these enzymes (PLC-I) has been purified to homogeneity; the second (PLC-II) has been purified 2600-fold from a crude extract of seminal vesicles. In the present study we have compared the ability of these purified enzymes to hydrolyze PI, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI-4-P), and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate (PI-4,5-P2). Using radiolabeled substrates in small unilamellar phospholipid vesicles of defined composition, the two enzymes were found to hydrolyze all three of the phosphoinositides. Hydrolysis of all three phosphoinositides by both enzymes was stimulated by Ca2+; however, in the presence of EGTA only the polyphosphoinositides were hydrolyzed. The two enzymes displayed substrate affinities in the order PI greater than PI-4-P greater than PI-4,5-P2, and maximum hydrolysis rates in the order PI-4,5-P2 greater than PI-4-P greater than PI. When present in the same vesicles, PI and the polyphosphoinositides competed for a limiting amount of either enzyme. Inclusion of phosphatidylcholine into vesicles containing the phosphoinositides resulted in greater inhibition of PI hydrolysis than polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis. When all three phosphoinositides were present in vesicles mimicking the cytoplasmic leaflet of cell membranes, there was preferential hydrolysis of the polyphosphoinositides over PI. We conclude that a single phospholipase C can account for the hydrolysis of all three phosphoinositides seen during agonist-induced stimulation of secretory cells. The cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration and phospholipid composition of the membrane, however, may influence the relative rate of hydrolysis of the three phosphoinositides. 相似文献

Dysferlin is a large membrane protein found most prominently in striated muscle. Loss of dysferlin activity is associated with reduced exocytosis, abnormal intracellular Ca2+ and the muscle diseases limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Miyoshi myopathy. The cytosolic region of dysferlin consists of seven C2 domains with mutations in the C2A domain at the N-terminus resulting in pathology. Despite the importance of Ca2+ and membrane binding activities of the C2A domain for dysferlin function, the mechanism of the domain remains poorly characterized. In this study we find that the C2A domain preferentially binds membranes containing PI(4,5)P2 through an interaction mediated by residues Y23, K32, K33, and R77 on the concave face of the domain. We also found that subsequent to membrane binding, the C2A domain inserts residues on the Ca2+ binding loops into the membrane. Analysis of solution NMR measurements indicate that the domain inhabits two distinct structural states, with Ca2+ shifting the population between states towards a more rigid structure with greater affinity for PI(4,5)P2. Based on our results, we propose a mechanism where Ca2+ converts C2A from a structurally dynamic, low PI(4,5)P2 affinity state to a high affinity state that targets dysferlin to PI(4,5)P2 enriched membranes through interaction with Tyr23, K32, K33, and R77. Binding also involves changes in lipid packing and insertion by the third Ca2+ binding loop of the C2 domain into the membrane, which would contribute to dysferlin function in exocytosis and Ca2+ regulation. 相似文献

Three-dimensional structure of the synaptotagmin 1 C2B-domain: synaptotagmin 1 as a phospholipid binding machine. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Synaptotagmin 1 probably functions as a Ca2+ sensor in neurotransmitter release via its two C2-domains, but no common Ca2+-dependent activity that could underlie a cooperative action between them has been described. The NMR structure of the C2B-domain now reveals a beta sandwich that exhibits striking similarities and differences with the C2A-domain. Whereas the bottom face of the C2B-domain has two additional alpha helices that may be involved in specialized Ca2+-independent functions, the top face binds two Ca2+ ions and is remarkably similar to the C2A-domain. Consistent with these results, but in contrast to previous studies, we find that the C2B-domain binds phospholipids in a Ca2+-dependent manner similarly to the C2A-domain. These results suggest a novel view of synaptotagmin function whereby the two C2-domains cooperate in a common activity, Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding, to trigger neurotransmitter release. 相似文献

The C2 domain of protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) corresponds to the regulatory sequence motif, found in a large variety of membrane trafficking and signal transduction proteins, that mediates the recruitment of proteins by phospholipid membranes. In the PKCalpha isoenzyme, the Ca2+-dependent binding to membranes is highly specific to 1,2-sn-phosphatidyl-l-serine. Intrinsic Ca2+ binding tends to be of low affinity and non-cooperative, while phospholipid membranes enhance the overall affinity of Ca2+ and convert it into cooperative binding. The crystal structure of a ternary complex of the PKCalpha-C2 domain showed the binding of two calcium ions and of one 1,2-dicaproyl-sn-phosphatidyl-l-serine (DCPS) molecule that was coordinated directly to one of the calcium ions. The structures of the C2 domain of PKCalpha crystallised in the presence of Ca2+ with either 1,2-diacetyl-sn-phosphatidyl-l-serine (DAPS) or 1,2-dicaproyl-sn-phosphatidic acid (DCPA) have now been determined and refined at 1.9 A and at 2.0 A, respectively. DAPS, a phospholipid with short hydrocarbon chains, was expected to facilitate the accommodation of the phospholipid ligand inside the Ca2+-binding pocket. DCPA, with a phosphatidic acid (PA) head group, was used to investigate the preference for phospholipids with phosphatidyl-l-serine (PS) head groups. The two structures determined show the presence of an additional binding site for anionic phospholipids in the vicinity of the conserved lysine-rich cluster. Site-directed mutagenesis, on the lysine residues from this cluster that interact directly with the phospholipid, revealed a substantial decrease in C2 domain binding to vesicles when concentrations of either PS or PA were increased in the absence of Ca2+. In the complex of the C2 domain with DAPS a third Ca2+, which binds an extra phosphate group, was identified in the calcium-binding regions (CBRs). The interplay between calcium ions and phosphate groups or phospholipid molecules in the C2 domain of PKCalpha is supported by the specificity and spatial organisation of the binding sites in the domain and by the variable occupancies of ligands found in the different crystal structures. Implications for PKCalpha activity of these structural results, in particular at the level of the binding affinity of the C2 domain to membranes, are discussed. 相似文献

Involvement of EF hand motifs in the Ca(2+)-dependent binding of the pleckstrin homology domain to phosphoinositides. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of phospholipase C (PLC)-delta1 and a related catalytically inactive protein, p130, both bind inositol phosphates and inositol lipids. The binding to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] by PLC-delta1 is proposed to be the critical interaction required for membrane localization to where the substrate resides; it is also required for the Ca(2+)-dependent activation of PLC-delta1 observed in the permeabilized cells. In the proximity of the PH domain, both PLC-delta1 and p130 possess the EF-hand domain, containing classical motifs implicated in calcium binding. Therefore, in the present study we examined whether the binding of the PH domain to PtdIns(4,5)P2 is regulated by changes in free Ca2+ concentration within the physiological range. A Ca2+ dependent increase in the binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2 was observed with a full-length PLC-delta1, while the isolated PH domain did not show any Ca2+ dependence. However, the connection of the EF-hand motifs to the PH domain restored the Ca2+ dependent increase in binding, even in the absence of the C2 domain. The p130 protein showed similar properties to PLC-delta1, and the EF-hand motifs were again required for the PH domain to exhibit a Ca2+ dependent increase in the binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2. The isolated PH domains from several other proteins which have been demonstrated to bind PtdIns(4,5)P2 showed no Ca2+ dependent enhancement of binding. However, when present within a chimera also containing PLC-delta1 EF-hand motifs, the Ca2+ dependent binding was again observed. These results suggest that the binding of Ca2+ to the EF-hand motifs can modulate binding to PtdIns(4,5)P2 mediated by the PH domain. 相似文献

We tested the long-standing hypothesis that synaptotagmin 1 is the Ca2+ sensor for fast neurosecretion by analyzing the intracellular Ca2+ dependence of large dense-core vesicle exocytosis in a mouse strain carrying a mutated synaptotagmin C2A domain. The mutation (R233Q) causes a twofold increase in the KD of Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding to the double C2A-C2B domain of synaptotagmin. Using photolysis of caged calcium and capacitance measurements we found that secretion from mutant cells had lower secretory rates, longer secretory delays, and a higher intracellular Ca2+-threshold for secretion due to a twofold increase in the apparent KD of the Ca2+ sensor for fast exocytosis. Single amperometric fusion events were unchanged. We conclude that Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding to synaptotagmin 1 mirrors the intracellular Ca2+ dependence of exocytosis. 相似文献

This work shows the existence of a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) bound form of the cardiac sarcolemmal Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. That was demonstrated in Western blots and cross-immunoprecipitation by using specific antibodies against the NCX1 exchanger (NCX1) and against PtdIns-4,5-P2. In addition, PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and the Na+/Ca2+ exchange fluxes displayed a similar MgATP regulation: (a) both increase by 100-130% when membrane vesicles are incubated (15-20 s at 37 degrees C) with 1 mM MgATP and 1 microM Ca2+ (b) in the presence of 100 microM Ca2+, MgATP fails to stimulate the exchange fluxes and does not modify the levels of PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to the exchanger. In addition, in the absence of Ca2+, the net synthesis of total membrane PtdIns-4,5-P2 is greatly reduced compared with that in the presence of 1 microM Ca2+. Furthermore, in the absence of Ca2+ there is no effect of MgATP on the levels of PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to the exchanger. These results indicate that, in bovine heart, MgATP-stimulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchange is associated with intracellular Ca2+-dependent levels of PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to the exchanger molecule. 相似文献

The effect of ceramide on Ca2+-dependent translocation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) to membranes was studied. Pretreatment of platelets with sphingomyelinase or C6-ceramide (N-hexanoylsphingosine) led to apparent enhancement of Ca2+-ionophore A23187-stimulated arachidonic acid release but did not affect the cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity. Under these conditions, the cPLA2 proteins in membranes increased significantly, compared with those by A23187 alone. Sphingomyelinase and C6-ceramide, but not C6-dihydroceramide, a control analog of C6-ceramide, also facilitated the Ca2+-dependent increase in the cPLA2 protein, as well as the activity, in membranes induced by addition of Ca2+ into platelet lysate. Protein kinase Calpha, which possesses a Ca2+-dependent lipid binding domain, was increased in membranes in a Ca2+-dependent manner, but the increase was not accelerated by sphingomyelinase or C6-ceramide. These findings suggest that ceramide in membranes potentiates Ca2+-dependent cPLA2 translocation from cytosol to membranes, probably through modification of membrane phospholipid organization. 相似文献

The GIVA phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) contains two domains: a calcium-binding domain (C2) and a catalytic domain. These domains are linked via a flexible tether. GIVA PLA(2) activity is Ca(2+)-dependent in that calcium binding promotes protein docking to the phospholipid membrane. In addition, the catalytic domain has a lid that covers the active site, presumably regulating GIVA PLA(2) activity. We now present studies that explore the dynamics and conformational changes of this enzyme in solution utilizing peptide amide hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (DXMS) to probe the solvent accessibility and backbone flexibility of the C2 domain, the catalytic domain, and the intact GIVA PLA(2). We also analyzed the changes in H/D exchange of the intact GIVA PLA(2) upon Ca(2+) binding. The DXMS results showed a fast H/D-exchanging lid and a slow exchanging central core. The C2 domain showed two distinct regions: a fast exchanging region facing away from the catalytic domain and a slow exchanging region present in the "cleft" region between the C2 and catalytic domains. The slow exchanging region of the C2 domain is in tight proximity to the catalytic domain. The effects of Ca(2+) binding on GIVA PLA(2) are localized in the C2 domain and suggest that binding of two distinct Ca(2+) ions causes tightening up of the regions that surround the anion hole at the tip of the C2 domain. This conformational change may be the initial step in GIVA PLA(2) activation. 相似文献

Rabphilin-3A is a neuronal C2 domain tandem containing protein involved in vesicle trafficking. Both its C2 domains (C2A and C2B) are able to bind phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, a key player in the neurotransmitter release process. The rabphilin-3A C2A domain has previously been shown to bind inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3; phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate headgroup) in a Ca2+-dependent manner with a relatively high affinity (50 microm) in the presence of saturating concentrations of Ca2+. Moreover, IP3 and Ca2+ binding to the C2A domain mutually enhance each other. Here we present the Ca2+-bound solution structure of the C2A domain. Structural comparison with the previously published Ca2+-free crystal structure revealed that Ca2+ binding induces a conformational change of Ca2+ binding loop 3 (CBL3). Our IP3 binding studies as well as our IP3-C2A docking model show the active involvement of CBL3 in IP3 binding, suggesting that the conformational change on CBL3 upon Ca2+ binding enables the interaction with IP3 and vice versa, in line with a target-activated messenger affinity mechanism. Our data provide detailed structural insight into the functional properties of the rabphilin-3A C2A domain and reveal for the first time the structural determinants of a target-activated messenger affinity mechanism. 相似文献

Phosphoinositide interconversion in thrombin-stimulated human platelets 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
Stimulation of platelets and other secretory cells by agonists results in the degradation of phosphoinositides by phospholipase C. Kinetic studies suggest that hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate (PI-4,5-P2) is an initial event in this process. Platelets contain much larger amounts of phosphatidylinositol (PI) than PI-4,5-P2, and approximately 50% of total phosphoinositides are degraded upon stimulation. We have investigated whether degradation of PI occurs by direct phospholipase C hydrolysis or by phosphorylation to PI-4,5-P2 followed by phospholipase C action on the latter compound. When platelets are incubated for 3 min with 32Pi prior to stimulation, the phosphoinositides are labeled to different specific activities. Under these nonequilibrium conditions, the time course of change in specific activity reflects turnover. The rise in specific activity of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI-4-P) is similar in stimulated and unstimulated cells, indicating that there is little increase in the conversion of PI to PI-4-P during thrombin stimulation. In addition, the specific activity of the 4-phosphate in PI-4-P during thrombin stimulation is less than both the 5-phosphate of PI-4,5-P2 and the phosphate group of phosphatidic acid, indicating that the 4-phosphate moiety is not labeled to equilibrium with ATP. This finding is inconsistent with a rapid flux of PI via PI-4-P to PI-4,5-P2 during thrombin stimulation, in which case the 4-phosphate would be at maximum specific activity. We, therefore, conclude that the bulk of PI breakdown that occurs in thrombin-stimulated platelets occurs via direct phospholipase C hydrolysis of PI. 相似文献

The neuronal protein synaptotagmin 1 functions as a Ca(2+) sensor in exocytosis via two Ca(2+)-binding C(2) domains. The very similar synaptotagmin 4, which includes all the predicted Ca(2+)-binding residues in the C(2)B domain but not in the C(2)A domain, is also thought to function as a neuronal Ca(2+) sensor. Here we show that, unexpectedly, both C(2) domains of fly synaptotagmin 4 exhibit Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid binding, whereas neither C(2) domain of rat synaptotagmin 4 binds Ca(2+) or phospholipids efficiently. Crystallography reveals that changes in the orientations of critical Ca(2+) ligands, and perhaps their flexibility, render the rat synaptotagmin 4 C(2)B domain unable to form full Ca(2+)-binding sites. These results indicate that synaptotagmin 4 is a Ca(2+) sensor in the fly but not in the rat, that the Ca(2+)-binding properties of C(2) domains cannot be reliably predicted from sequence analyses, and that proteins clearly identified as orthologs may nevertheless have markedly different functional properties. 相似文献

Many cytosolic proteins are recruited to the plasma membrane (PM) during cell signaling and other cellular processes. Recent reports have indicated that phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)), and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) that are present in the PM play important roles for their specific PM recruitment. To systematically analyze how these lipids mediate PM targeting of cellular proteins, we performed biophysical, computational, and cell studies of the Ca(2+)-dependent C2 domain of protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) that is known to bind PS and phosphoinositides. In vitro membrane binding measurements by surface plasmon resonance analysis show that PKCalpha-C2 nonspecifically binds phosphoinositides, including PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3), but that PS and Ca(2+) binding is prerequisite for productive phosphoinositide binding. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) augments the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding of PKCalpha-C2 by slowing its membrane dissociation. Molecular dynamics simulations also support that Ca(2+)-dependent PS binding is essential for membrane interactions of PKCalpha-C2. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) alone cannot drive the membrane attachment of the domain but further stabilizes the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding. When the fluorescence protein-tagged PKCalpha-C2 was expressed in NIH-3T3 cells, mutations of phosphoinositide-binding residues or depletion of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and/or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) from PM did not significantly affect the PM association of the domain but accelerated its dissociation from PM. Also, local synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) or PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) at the PM slowed membrane dissociation of PKCalpha-C2. Collectively, these studies show that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) augment the Ca(2+)- and PS-dependent membrane binding of PKCalpha-C2 by elongating the membrane residence of the domain but cannot drive the PM recruitment of PKCalpha-C2. These studies also suggest that effective PM recruitment of many cellular proteins may require synergistic actions of PS and phosphoinositides. 相似文献
