Probably involved with Ras-related protein Rab-3A in synaptic vesicle traffic and/or synaptic vesicle fusion. Could play a role in neurotransmitter release by regulating membrane flow in the nerve terminal. Publication Abstract from PubMed Proteins containing C2 domains are the sensors for Ca(2+) and PI(4,5)P2 in a myriad of secretory pathways. Here, the use of a free-mounting system has enabled us to capture an intermediate state of Ca(2+) binding to the C2A domain of rabphilin 3A that suggests a different mechanism of ion interaction. We have also determined the structure of this domain in complex with PI(4,5)P2 and IP3 at resolutions of 1.75 and 1.9 A, respectively, unveiling that the polybasic cluster formed by strands beta3-beta4 is involved in the interaction with the phosphoinositides. A comparative study demonstrates that the C2A domain is highly specific for PI(4,5)P2/PI(3,4,5)P3, whereas the C2B domain cannot discriminate among any of the diphosphorylated forms. Structural comparisons between C2A domains of rabphilin 3A and synaptotagmin 1 indicated the presence of a key glutamic residue in the polybasic cluster of synaptotagmin 1 that abolishes the interaction with PI(4,5)P2. Together, these results provide a structural explanation for the ability of different C2 domains to pull plasma and vesicle membranes close together in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner and reveal how this family of proteins can use subtle structural changes to modulate their sensitivity and specificity to various cellular signals.
