Crystal structure of LGI1 LRR domain
Structural highlights
DiseaseLGI1_HUMAN Autosomal dominant epilepsy with auditory features. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionLGI1_HUMAN Regulates voltage-gated potassium channels assembled from KCNA1, KCNA4 and KCNAB1. It slows down channel inactivation by precluding channel closure mediated by the KCNAB1 subunit. Ligand for ADAM22 that positively regulates synaptic transmission mediated by AMPA-type glutamate receptors (By similarity). Plays a role in suppressing the production of MMP1/3 through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/ERK pathway. May play a role in the control of neuroblastoma cell survival.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedEpilepsy is a common brain disorder throughout history. Epilepsy-related ligand-receptor complex, LGI1-ADAM22, regulates synaptic transmission and has emerged as a determinant of brain excitability, as their mutations and acquired LGI1 autoantibodies cause epileptic disorders in human. Here, we report the crystal structure of human LGI1-ADAM22 complex, revealing a 2:2 heterotetrameric assembly. The hydrophobic pocket of the C-terminal epitempin-repeat (EPTP) domain of LGI1 binds to the metalloprotease-like domain of ADAM22. The N-terminal leucine-rich repeat and EPTP domains of LGI1 mediate the intermolecular LGI1-LGI1 interaction. A pathogenic R474Q mutation of LGI1, which does not exceptionally affect either the secretion or the ADAM22 binding, is located in the LGI1-LGI1 interface and disrupts the higher-order assembly of the LGI1-ADAM22 complex in vitro and in a mouse model for familial epilepsy. These studies support the notion that the LGI1-ADAM22 complex functions as the trans-synaptic machinery for precise synaptic transmission.
