AIDA-1 SAM domain tandem
Structural highlights
Function[ANS1B_HUMAN] Isoform 2 may participate in the regulation of nucleoplasmic coilin protein interactions in neuronal and transformed cells.[1] [2] Isoform 3 can regulate global protein synthesis by altering nucleolar numbers (By similarity).[3] [4] Isoform 4 may play a role as a modulator of APP processing. Overexpression can down-regulate APP processing.[5] [6] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe neuronal scaffolding protein AIDA-1 is believed to act as a convener of signals arising at postsynaptic densities. Among the readily identifiable domains in AIDA-1, two closely juxtaposed sterile alpha motif (SAM) domains and a phosphotyrosine binding domain are located within the C-terminus of the longest splice variant and exclusively in four shorter splice variants. As a first step towards understanding the possible emergent properties arising from this assembly of ligand binding domains, we have used NMR methods to solve the first structure of a SAM domain tandem. Separated by a 15-aa linker, the two SAM domains are fused in a head-to-tail orientation that has been observed in other hetero- and homotypic SAM domain structures. The basic nuclear import signal for AIDA-1 is buried at the interface between the two SAM domains. An observed disparity between the thermal stabilities of the two SAM domains suggests a mechanism whereby the second SAM domain decouples from the first SAM domain to facilitate translocation of AIDA-1 to the nucleus. A nuclear localization signal at the SAM-SAM domain interface of AIDA-1 suggests a requirement for domain uncoupling prior to nuclear import.,Kurabi A, Brener S, Mobli M, Kwan JJ, Donaldson LW J Mol Biol. 2009 Oct 9;392(5):1168-77.
