Crystal structure of ADP-ribosylation factor binding protein GGA1
|
Overview
The adaptor appendage domains are believed to act as binding platforms for, coated vesicle accessory proteins. Using glutathione S-transferase, pulldowns from pig brain cytosol, we find three proteins that can bind to, the appendage domains of both the AP-1 gamma subunit and the GGAs:, gamma-synergin and two novel proteins, p56 and p200. p56 elicited better, antibodies than p200 and was generally more tractable. Although p56 and, gamma-synergin bind to both GGA and gamma appendages in vitro, immunofluorescence labeling of nocodazole-treated cells shows that p56, colocalizes with GGAs on TGN46-positive membranes, whereas gamma-synergin, colocalizes with AP-1 primarily on a different membrane compartment., Furthermore, in AP-1-deficient cells, p56 remains membrane-associated, whereas gamma-synergin becomes cytosolic. Thus, p56 and gamma-synergin, show very strong preferences for GGAs and AP-1, respectively, in vivo., However, the GGA and gamma appendages share the same fold as determined by, x-ray crystallography, and mutagenesis reveals that the same amino acids, contribute to their binding sites. By overexpressing wild-type GGA and, gamma appendage domains in cells, we can drive p56 and gamma-synergin, respectively, into the cytosol, suggesting a possible mechanism for, selectively disrupting the two pathways.
