Annexin III, a putative inositol (1,2)-phosphohydrolase, was, co-crystallized with inositol 2-phosphate, the inhibitor of the reaction, and its structure was solved to 1.95 A resolution. No enzyme active site, was observed in the structure. Assays for enzymatic activity were also, negative. Search for annexin III-inositol phosphate interactions using the, BIAcoreTM system revealed an affinity for inositol cyclic (1,2)-phosphate, suggesting annexin III may sequester the molecule in the cell. The, BIAcoreTM system used with different phospholipids showed that annexin III, displays specificity for phosphatidylethanolamine, but not for, phosphatidylinositols. Interestingly, a molecule of ethanolamine was found, bound to the protein in the crystal structure.

Interestingly, a molecule of ethanolamine was found, bound to the protein in the crystal structure. Coupled with the fact that, this is a particularly abundant phospholipid in granules specific to, neutrophils, cells where annexin III is highly expressed, our finding, could be pointing to a physiological role of annexin III. | ||
