NMR Structure of MYO3-SH3 domain from Myosin-typeI from S. cerevisiae
Structural highlights
FunctionMYO3_YEAST One of two redundant type-I myosins implicated in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Required for proper actin cytoskeleton polarization and for the internalization step in endocytosis. At the cell cortex, assembles in patch-like structures together with proteins from the actin-polymerizing machinery and promotes actin assembly. Functions redundantly with LAS17 as actin nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) for the Arp2/3 complex. Motor domain phosphorylation by PAK kinases CLA4 and STE20 promotes CDC42-regulated actin assembly. Functions together with the NPF PAN1 in late stages of endocytosis. Motor domain phosphorylation by PDK1 kinases PKH1 and PKH2, and by SGK kinases YPK1 and YPK2, promotes ligand-induced, but not constitutive endocytosis of the G protein-coupled receptor STE2.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedSH3 domains are small protein modules that are involved in protein-protein interactions in several essential metabolic pathways. The availability of the complete genome and the limited number of clearly identifiable SH3 domains make the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae an ideal proteomic-based model system to investigate the structural rules dictating the SH3-mediated protein interactions and to develop new tools to assist these studies. In the present work, we have determined the solution structure of the SH3 domain from Myo3 and modeled by homology that of the highly homologous Myo5, two myosins implicated in actin polymerization. We have then implemented an integrated approach that makes use of experimental and computational methods to characterize their binding properties. While accommodating their targets in the classical groove, the two domains have selectivity in both orientation and sequence specificity of the target peptides. From our study, we propose a consensus sequence that may provide a useful guideline to identify new natural partners and suggest a strategy of more general applicability that may be of use in other structural proteomic studies.
