The structure of the inter-SH2 domain of class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase determined by site-directed spin labeling EPR and homology modeling.

ABSTRACT: Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinases catalyze the phosphorylation of the D3 position of the inositol ring of PI, and its phosphorylated derivatives and play important roles in many intracellular signal transducing pathways. Class IA PI3-kinases contain distinct regulatory (p85) and catalytic (p110) subunits. p110 is stabilized and inhibited by constitutive association with p85, and is disinhibited when the SH2 domains of p85 bind to tyrosyl-phosphorylated proteins. Because the two subunits do not dissociate, disinhibition of p110 presumably occurs by an allosteric mechanism. To explore the means by which p85 regulates the activity of p110, structures of the inter-SH2 domain of p85 were determined with and without phosphopeptide by using a combination of site directed spin labeling EPR and homology modeling and molecular dynamics. The inter-SH2 domain is assigned as a rigid anti-parallel coiled-coil whose primary function is to bind p110, facilitating inhibition of p110 by the N-terminal SH2 domain of p85.

Project description:The second messenger lipid PIP(3) (phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate) is generated by the lipid kinase PI3K (phosphoinositide-3-kinase) in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, where it regulates a broad array of cell processes by recruiting multiple signaling proteins containing PIP(3)-specific pleckstrin homology (PH) domains to the membrane surface. Despite the broad importance of PIP(3)-specific PH domains, the membrane docking geometry of a PH domain bound to its target PIP(3) lipid on a bilayer surface has not yet been experimentally determined. The present study employs EPR site-directed spin labeling and relaxation methods to elucidate the membrane docking geometry of GRP1 PH domain bound to bilayer-embedded PIP(3). The model target bilayer contains the neutral background lipid PC and both essential targeting lipids: (i) PIP(3) target lipid that provides specificity and affinity, and (ii) PS facilitator lipid that enhances the PIP(3) on-rate via an electrostatic search mechanism. The EPR approach measures membrane depth parameters for 18 function-retaining spin labels coupled to the PH domain, and for calibration spin labels coupled to phospholipids. The resulting depth parameters, together with the known high resolution structure of the co-complex between GRP1 PH domain and the PIP(3) headgroup, provide sufficient constraints to define an optimized, self-consistent membrane docking geometry. In this optimized geometry the PH domain engulfs the PIP(3) headgroup with minimal bilayer penetration, yielding the shallowest membrane position yet described for a lipid binding domain. This binding interaction displaces the PIP(3) headgroup from its lowest energy position and orientation in the bilayer, but the headgroup remains within its energetically accessible depth and angular ranges. Finally, the optimized docking geometry explains previous biophysical findings including mutations observed to disrupt membrane binding, and the rapid lateral diffusion observed for PIP(3)-bound GRP1 PH domain on supported lipid bilayers.
