5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is the key player of pro-inflammatory leukotriene biosynthesis. Its regulatory or so-called PLAT (polycystin-1, lipoxygenase, α-toxin) domain binds allosteric modulators like calcium, membranes, coactosin-like protein and Dicer, thereby influencing 5-LOX activity at the nuclear membrane by mediating translocation. The PLAT domain may also regulate cytosolic 5-LOX activity and possibly influence microRNA metabolism. Hence, it has also evolved as a promising target for anti-inflammatory therapy. Research focusing on this substructure of 5-LOX requires an assay system based on the isolated domain. However, we found that the isolated PLAT domain was highly prone to aggregation and therefore unsuitable for interaction studies. Substitution of the single, membrane-binding tryptophan 75 with glycine reduced aggregation and substantially increased its thermal stability. Calcium interaction of the single mutant was confirmed by differential scanning fluorimetry. Moreover, crosslinking experiments demonstrated the ability of the isolated PLAT domain to bind Dicer C-terminus whereas the interaction with coactosin-like protein required the interplay of the catalytic and the PLAT domain. 相似文献
