A sub-family of PX domain proteins possesses two unique PX-associated domains, as well as a regulator of GPCR signaling (RGS) domain that attenuates Galphas-coupled GPCR-signaling. Here we delineate the structural organization of these RGS-PX proteins, revealing a protein family with a modular architecture that is conserved in all eukaryotes. The one exception to this is mammalian SNX19, which lacks the typical RGS structure but preserves all other domains. The PX domain is a sensor of membrane phosphoinositide lipids and we find that specific sequence alterations in the PX domains of the mammalian RGS-PX proteins, SNX13, SNX14, SNX19 and SNX25, confer differential phosphoinositide binding preferences. While SNX13 and SNX19 PX domains bind the early endosomal lipid phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P), SNX14 shows no membrane binding at all. Crystal structures of the SNX19 and SNX14 PX domains reveal key differences, with alterations in SNX14 leading to closure of the binding pocket to prevent phosphoinositide association. Our findings suggest a role for alternative membrane interactions in spatial control of RGS-PX proteins in cell signaling and trafficking.
