Structure of the GDP-bound G domain of the RGK protein Rem2.


ABSTRACT: RGK proteins are atypical small GTP-binding proteins that are involved in the regulation of voltage-dependent calcium channels and actin cytoskeleton remodelling. The structure of the Rem2 G domain bound to GDP is reported here in a monoclinic crystal form at 2.66 Å resolution. It is very similar to the structure determined previously from an orthorhombic crystal form. However, differences in the crystal-packing environment revealed that the switch I and switch II regions are flexible and not ordered as previously reported. Comparison of the available RGK protein structures along with those of other small GTP-binding proteins highlights two structural features characteristic of this atypical family and suggests that the conserved tryptophan residue in the DXWEX motif may be a structural determinant of the nucleotide-binding affinity.
