PDZ结构域作为介导蛋白质之间相互作用的重要结构域之一,参与到细胞内运输、离子通道、以及各种信号传导通路等多种生物学过程.PDZ结构域是由80~100个氨基酸组成的小的球状结构域,对某些多PDZ结构域蛋白来说,需要一前一后形成串联体才能正确折叠.另外,PDZ结构域相互之间也可以形成同源或异源二聚体.这些PDZ结构域的突出特点是能特异性地识别配体靶蛋白C末端短的氨基酸序列,但有些也能识别靶蛋白的内部β发夹结构.而一些支架蛋白的PDZ结构域与细胞膜上脂类的相互作用则增加了其与膜的亲和性.本文简要概括了PDZ结构域的结构特点及其对配体的各种特异性识别的机制,从而为研究各种PDZ蛋白的功能提供了结构基础.  相似文献

多重PDZ结构域蛋白1型(MUPP1)是一种存在于上皮细胞和神经细胞内含有13个PDZ结构域的重要支架蛋白.在上皮细胞中,MUPP1蛋白在紧密连接结构的形成和上皮细胞的极化过程中发挥重要作用.而在中枢神经系统中,MUPP1基因的1个提前终止突变导致了其最后12个PDZ结构域的缺失,以及严重的先天性脑积水.此外,MUPP1蛋白的表达水平与酒精依赖性和药物戒断的严重性也具有显著的相关性.因此,对MUPP1蛋白所含的PDZ结构域进行纯化和性质鉴定,将有助于深入研究MUPP1蛋白的功能和分子机制.在本文研究中,利用亲和纯化和分子筛技术,对大鼠来源的MUPP1蛋白的第8个PDZ结构域进行了表达和纯化.多角度激光光散射的数据表明: MUPP1-PDZ8结构域在溶液中为单体,分子量为16.4 kD.圆二色谱结果表明,MUPP1-PDZ8结构域具有较好的二级结构折叠,测得其熔解温度为71.6摄氏度,暗示该PDZ结构域在溶液中非常稳定.最后,MUPP1-PDZ8结构域的晶体结构显示,该结构域属于I 型PDZ 结构域,包含3个α螺旋和6个β折叠.其中GLGL模块、β折叠B上的1 351位亮氨酸,以及α螺旋B上的1 405位异亮氨酸/1 398位组氨酸形成的PDZ结合口袋,可以特异性地与其目标蛋白质的羧基末端相结合.综上所述,本文的研究提供了MUPP1-PDZ8结构域的生化特性,以及该结构域与其目标蛋白质相互作用的分子机制,这将为MUPP1蛋白的功能研究提供生物化学与结构生物学的理论基础.  相似文献

磷脂酶C β (PLCβ)在G蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR)介导的细胞信号转导中发挥重要作用. 通过水解磷脂酰肌醇4,5二磷酸 (PIP2),磷脂酶C β可以产生3种重要的第二信使分子:二乙酰甘油 (DAG)、三磷酸肌醇 (IP3)和质子. 在果蝇中,磷脂酶C β通过它的羧基末端盘状同源区域结合模块 (PBM)与盘状同源区域 (PDZ)支架蛋白-失活无后电位D蛋白 (INAD)相互作用,从而调节果蝇的光信号传导 . 在哺乳动物中,磷脂酶C β家族有4个亚型,每1个亚型的羧基末端都有1个典型的盘状同源区域结合模块. 这一结构特点提示我们,磷脂酶C β可能通过其羧基末端的盘状同源区域结合模块与盘状同源区域支架蛋白相互作用,进而调节它们自身的细胞定位和功能. 然而,目前仍对哺乳动物磷脂酶C β家族的盘状同源区域结合蛋白知之甚少. 本文运用分析型凝胶过滤和等温滴定量热技术,系统地研究了不同磷脂酶Cβ亚型的羧基末端盘状同源区域结合模块与不同盘状同源区域蛋白质的结合. 结果表明,磷脂酶Cβ2的羧基末端盘状同源区域结合模块,可以特异地与含有4个盘状同源区域的支架蛋白-盘状同源区域蛋白1 (PDZK1)以2∶1的方式相互结合. 进一步的测定显示,磷脂酶C β2羧基末端盘状同源区域结合模块在盘状同源区域蛋白1上的结合位点为第1和第3个盘状同源区域,而它们与磷脂酶Cβ2的解离常数分别为11.8±3.4 μmol/L 和33.3±8.7 μmol/L.  相似文献

The beta(1)-adrenergic receptor (beta(1)AR) is the most abundant subtype of beta-adrenergic receptor in the mammalian brain and is known to potently regulate synaptic plasticity. To search for potential neuronal beta(1)AR-interacting proteins, we screened a rat brain cDNA library using the beta(1)AR carboxyl terminus (beta(1)AR-CT) as bait in the yeast two-hybrid system. These screens identified PSD-95, a multiple PDZ domain-containing scaffolding protein, as a specific binding partner of the beta(1)AR-CT. This interaction was confirmed by in vitro fusion protein pull-down and blot overlay experiments, which demonstrated that the beta(1)AR-CT binds specifically to the third PDZ domain of PSD-95. Furthermore, the full-length beta(1)AR associates with PSD-95 in cells, as determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiments and immunofluorescence co-localization studies. The interaction between beta(1)AR and PSD-95 is mediated by the last few amino acids of the beta(1)AR, and mutation of the beta(1)AR carboxyl terminus eliminated the binding and disrupted the co-localization of the beta(1)AR and PSD-95 in cells. Agonist-induced internalization of the beta(1)AR in HEK-293 cells was markedly attenuated by PSD-95 co-expression, whereas co-expression of PSD-95 has no significant effect on either desensitization of the beta(1)AR or beta(1)AR-induced cAMP accumulation. Furthermore, PSD-95 facilitated the formation of a complex between the beta(1)AR and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, as assessed by co-immunoprecipitation. These data reveal that PSD-95 is a specific beta(1)AR binding partner that modulates beta(1)AR function and facilitates physical association of the beta(1)AR with synaptic proteins, such as the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, which are known to be regulated by beta(1)AR stimulation.  相似文献

NMDA receptor NR2A/B subunits have PDZ-binding domains on their extreme C-termini that are known to interact with the PSD-95 family and other PDZ proteins. We explore the interactions between PSD-95 family proteins and the NR2A/B cytoplasmic tails, and the consequences of these interactions, from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through delivery to the synapse in primary rat hippocampal and cortical cultured neurons. We find that the NR2A/B cytoplasmic tails cluster very early in the secretory pathway and interact serially with SAP102 beginning at the intermediate compartment, and then PSD-95. We further establish that colocalization of the distal C-terminus of NR2B and PSD-95 begins at the trans-Golgi Network (TGN). Formation of NR2B/PSD-95/SAP102 complexes is dependent on the PDZ binding domain of NR2B subunits, but association with SAP102 and PSD-95 plays no distinguishable role in cluster pre-formation or initial targeting to the vicinity of the synapse. Instead the PDZ binding domain plays a role in restricting cell-surface clusters to postsynaptic targets.  相似文献

PDZ domains typically interact with the very carboxyl terminus of their binding partners. Type 1 PDZ domains usually require valine, leucine, or isoleucine at the very COOH-terminal (P(0)) position, and serine or threonine 2 residues upstream at P(-2). We quantitatively defined the contributions of carboxyl-terminal residues to binding selectivity of the prototypic interactions of the PDZ domains of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) and its homolog synapse-associated protein 90 (SAP102) with the NR2b subunit of the N-methyl-d-aspartate-type glutamate receptor. Our studies indicate that all of the last five residues of NR2b contribute to the binding selectivity. Prominent were a requirement for glutamate or glutamine at P(-3) and for valine at P(0) for high affinity binding and a preference for threonine over serine at P(-2), in the context of the last 11 residues of the NR2b COOH terminus. This analysis predicts a COOH-terminal (E/Q)(S/T)XV consensus sequence for the strongest binding to the first two PDZ domains of PSD-95 and SAP102. A search of the human genome sequences for proteins with a COOH-terminal (E/Q)(S/T)XV motif yielded 50 proteins, many of which have not been previously identified as PSD-95 or SAP102 binding partners. Two of these proteins, brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 and protein kinase Calpha, co-immunoprecipitated with PSD-95 and SAP102 from rat brain extracts.  相似文献

In this study, we evaluate the interaction between the postsynaptic scaffolding protein, PSD-95, and calmodulin. Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy was used to characterize the binding of PSD-95 to calmodulin that had been immobilized on a sensor chip. Additionally, soluble calmodulin was found to inhibit the binding of PSD-95 to immobilized calmodulin. The HOOK region of PSD-95, which is located between the src homology 3 domain and the guanylate kinase-like domain, was determined to be involved in the binding of PSD-95 to calmodulin. We also found that C-terminal peptides from proteins such as CRIPT and the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor NR2B subunit, which associate with the PDZ domain of PSD-95, enhanced the affinity of PSD-95 for calmodulin. The binding of ligands to the PDZ domain may change the conformation of PSD-95 and affect the interaction between PSD-95 and calmodulin.  相似文献

The molecular mechanisms underlying the protein assembly at synaptic junctions are thought to be important for neural functions. PSD-95, one of the major postsynaptic density proteins, is composed of three PDZ domains (PDZ1, PDZ2, and PDZ3), an SH3 domain, and a GK (guanylate kinase ) domain. It binds to the N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor NR2 subunit or to the Shaker-type K(+) channel, Kv1.4, via the PDZ1 or PDZ2 domain, whereas PDZ3 binds to distinct partners. The intramolecular interaction of these multiple domains has been implicated in efficient protein clustering. We introduced missense and deletion mutations into PDZ1 (PDZ1mDelta) and/or PDZ2 (PDZ2mDelta) of the full-length PSD-95 to disrupt the association of each domain with the target proteins, while preserving the overall structure. The ion channel clustering activities of the PSD-95 mutants were analyzed in COS-1 cells coexpressing each mutant and Kv1.4. The mutant bearing the dysfunctional PDZ2 (PSD-95:1-2mDelta) showed significantly reduced clustering efficiency, whereas the mutant with the dysfunctional PDZ1 (PSD-95:1mDelta-2) exhibited activity comparable with the wild-type activity. Furthermore, we also examined the requirements for the position of PDZ2 in full-length PSD-95 by constructing a series of PDZ1-PDZ2 inversion mutants. Surprisingly, the clustering activity of PSD-95:2-1mDelta was severely defective. Taken together, these findings show that PDZ2, which is endowed with the highest affinity for Kv1.4, is required for efficient ligand binding. In addition, the ligand binding at the position of the second PDZ domain in full-length PSD-95 is prerequisite for efficient and typical cluster formation. This study suggests that the correct placement of the multiple domains in the full-length PSD-95 protein is necessary for the optimal protein activity.  相似文献

PDZ (acronym of the synapse-associated protein PSD-95/SAP90, the septate junction protein Discs-large, and the tight junction protein ZO-1) domains are abundant small globular protein interaction domains that mainly recognize the carboxyl termini of their target proteins. Detailed knowledge on PDZ domain binding specificity is a prerequisite for understanding the interaction networks they establish. We determined the binding preference of the five PDZ domains in the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-BL by screening a random C-terminal peptide lambda phage display library. Interestingly, the potential of PDZ2 to interact with class III-type ligands was found to be modulated by the presence of PDZ1. Structural studies revealed a direct and specific interaction of PDZ1 with a surface on PDZ2 that is opposite the peptide binding groove. Long-range allosteric effects that cause structural changes in the PDZ2 peptide binding groove thus explain the altered PDZ2 binding preference. Our results experimentally corroborate that the molecular embedding of PDZ domains is an important determinant of their ligand binding specificity.  相似文献

The beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta1AR) is known to be localized to synapses and to modulate synaptic plasticity in many brain regions, but the molecular mechanisms determining beta1AR subcellular localization are not fully understood. Using overlay and pull-down techniques, we found that the beta1AR carboxyl terminus associates with MAGI-2 (membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted-2), a protein also known as S-SCAM (synaptic scaffolding molecule). MAGI-2 is a multidomain scaffolding protein that contains nine potential protein-protein interaction modules, including 6 PDZ domains, 2 WW domains, and a guanylate kinase-like domain. The beta1AR carboxyl terminus binds with high affinity to the first PDZ domain of MAGI-2, with the last few amino acids of the beta1AR carboxyl terminus being the key determinants of the interaction. In cells, the association of full-length beta1AR with MAGI-2 occurs constitutively and is enhanced by agonist stimulation of the receptor, as assessed by both co-immunoprecipitation experiments and immunofluorescence co-localization studies. Agonist-induced internalization of the beta1AR is markedly increased by co-expression with MAGI-2. Strikingly, this result is the opposite of the effect of co-expression with PSD-95, a previously reported binding partner of the beta1AR. Further cellular experiments revealed that MAGI-2 has no effect on beta1AR oligomerization but does promote association of beta1AR with the cytoplasmic signaling protein beta-catenin, a known MAGI-2 binding partner. These data reveal that MAGI-2 is a specific beta1AR binding partner that modulates beta1AR function and facilitates the physical association of the beta1AR with intracellular proteins involved in signal transduction and synaptic regulation.  相似文献

G protein-coupled receptors such as the beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta1AR) must be trafficked to the plasma membrane in order to bind with their extracellular ligands and regulate cellular physiology. By using glutathione S-transferase pull-down techniques, we found that the beta1AR carboxyl terminus directly interacts with the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-associated ligand (CAL; also known as PIST, GOPC, and FIG), a protein known to be primarily localized to the Golgi apparatus. CAL contains two predicted coiled-coil domains and one PSD-95/Discs-large/ZO-1 homology (PDZ) domain. The beta1AR carboxyl terminus (CT) binds to the PDZ domain of CAL, with the last few amino acids (ESKV) of the beta1AR-CT being the key determinants for the interaction. Mutation of the terminal valine residue resulted in markedly reduced association of the beta1AR-CT with CAL. Numerous other mutations to the ESKV motif also impaired the beta1AR-CT/CAL interaction, suggesting that this motif is close to optimal for association with the CAL PDZ domain. In cells, full-length beta1AR robustly associates with CAL, and this interaction is abolished by mutation of the terminal valine to alanine of the receptor (V477A), as determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiments and immunofluorescence co-localization studies. Consistent with observations that CAL is a Golgi-associated protein, overexpression of CAL reduces surface expression of beta1AR. Interaction with CAL promotes retention of beta1AR within the cell, whereas PSD-95, another beta1AR-associated PDZ domain-containing protein, competitively blocks beta1AR association with CAL and promotes receptor trafficking to the cell surface. These data reveal that CAL, a novel beta1AR-binding partner, modulates beta1AR intracellular trafficking, thereby revealing a new mechanism of regulation for beta1AR anterograde trafficking through the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi complex to the plasma membrane.  相似文献

Using peptide affinity purification, we identified an interaction between somatostatin receptors SSTR4 and SSTR1 and PDZ domains 1 and 2 of the postsynaptic proteins postsynaptic density protein of 95kDa (PSD-95) and PSD-93. The existence of the SSTR4/PSD-95 complex was verified by coimmunoprecipitation from transfected cells and solubilized brain membranes. In neurons, dendritically localized SSTR4 partially colocalizes with postsynaptic PSD-95. As functional parameters of the receptor, such as coupling to potassium channels, are not affected by the interaction with PSD-95, the association may serve to localize the receptor to postsynaptic sites.  相似文献

Many G protein-coupled receptors possess carboxyl-terminal motifs ideal for interaction with PDZ scaffold proteins, which can control receptor trafficking and signaling in a cell-specific manner. To gain a panoramic view of beta1-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) interactions with PDZ scaffolds, the beta1AR carboxyl terminus was screened against a newly developed proteomic array of PDZ domains. These screens confirmed beta1AR associations with several previously identified PDZ partners, such as PSD-95, MAGI-2, GIPC, and CAL. Moreover, two novel beta1AR-interacting proteins, SAP97 and MAGI-3, were also identified. The beta1AR carboxyl terminus was found to bind specifically to the first PDZ domain of MAGI-3, with the last four amino acids (E-S-K-V) of beta1AR being the key determinants of the interaction. Full-length beta1AR robustly associated with full-length MAGI-3 in cells, and this association was abolished by mutation of the beta1AR terminal valine residue to alanine (V477A), as determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiments and immunofluorescence co-localization studies. MAGI-3 co-expression with beta1AR profoundly impaired beta1AR-mediated ERK1/2 activation but had no apparent effect on beta1AR-mediated cyclic AMP generation or agonist-promoted beta1AR internalization. These findings revealed that the interaction of MAGI-3 with beta1AR can selectively regulate specific aspects of receptor signaling. Moreover, the screens of the PDZ domain proteomic array provide a comprehensive view of beta1AR interactions with PDZ scaffolds, thereby shedding light on the molecular mechanisms by which beta1 AR signaling and trafficking can be regulated in a cell-specific manner.  相似文献
