Crystal structure of the cytosolic domain of human CNNM3
Structural highlights
FunctionCNNM3_HUMAN Probable metal transporter. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe family of cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS)-pair domain divalent metal cation transport mediators (CNNMs) is composed of four integral membrane proteins associated with Mg(2+) transport. Structurally, CNNMs contain large cytosolic regions composed of a CBS-pair and a cyclic nucleotide-binding homology (CNBH) domain. How these regulate Mg(2+) transport activity is unknown. Here, we determined the crystal structures of cytosolic fragments in two conformations: Mg(2+)-ATP-analog bound and ligand free. The structures reveal open and closed conformations with functionally important contacts not observed in structures of the individual domains. We also identified a second Mg(2+)-binding region in the CBS-pair domain and a different dimerization interface for the CNBH domain. Analytical ultracentrifugation and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments revealed a tight correlation between Mg(2+)-ATP binding and protein dimerization. Mutations that blocked either function prevented cellular Mg(2+) efflux activity. The results suggest Mg(2+) efflux is regulated by conformational changes associated with Mg(2+)-ATP binding to CNNM CBS-pair domains.
