Structural basis on the interaction of Scribble PDZ domains with the Tick Born encephalitis virus (TBEV) NS5 protein
Structural highlights
DiseaseSCRIB_HUMAN The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionSCRIB_HUMAN Scaffold protein involved in different aspects of polarized cells differentiation regulating epithelial and neuronal morphogenesis. Most probably functions in the establishment of apico-basal cell polarity. May function in cell proliferation regulating progression from G1 to S phase and as a positive regulator of apoptosis for instance during acinar morphogenesis of the mammary epithelium. May also function in cell migration and adhesion and hence regulate cell invasion through MAPK signaling. May play a role in exocytosis and in the targeting synaptic vesicles to synapses. Functions as an activator of Rac GTPase activity.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Scribble (Scrib) protein is a conserved cell polarity regulator with anti-tumorigenic properties. Viruses like the Tick-born encephalitis virus (TBEV) target Scribble to establish a cellular environment supporting viral replication, which is ultimately associated with poor prognosis upon infection. The TBEV NS5 protein has been reported to harbour both an internal as well as a C-terminal PDZ binding motif (PBM), however only the internal PBM was shown to be an interactor with Scribble, with the interaction being mediated via the Scribble PDZ4 domain to antagonize host interferon responses. We examined the NS5 PBM motif interactions with all Scribble PDZ domains using isothermal titration calorimetry, which revealed that the proposed internal PBM did not interact with any Scribble PDZ domains. Instead, the C-terminal PBM of NS5 interacted with Scrib PDZ3. We then established the structural basis of these interactions by determining crystal structures of Scrib PDZ3 bound to the NS5 C-terminal PBM. Our findings provide a structural basis for Scribble PDZ domain and TBEV NS5 interactions and provide a platform to dissect the pathogenesis of TBEV and the role of cell polarity signalling using structure guided approaches.
