CAP-Gly domains in cytoskeletal proteins
Activity
The cytoskeletal network contains Cytoskeleton-Associated Proteins (CAPs), including CLIP-170 and dynactins, that function in the organization of microtubules and in the transportation of vesicles and organelles. CAPs that bind to the +end of microtubules generally contain one or more glycine-rich domains ("CAP-Gly" domains) with a well-conserved GKNDG sequence motif[1], presumably involved in protein-protein binding[2].
Structure
The first crystal structure of a CAP-Gly domain (PDP file 1lpl), from C. elegans protein F53F4.3, revealed a novel protein fold containing a small 5-strand antiparallel beta-barrel, several loops, and an N-terminal helix. The GKNDG sequence is in two consecutive turns of a surface loop, at one side of a groove (as shown in image at left). The groove is lined by a large, concave patch of residues highly conserved among the related sequences[3]. In the crystal, a dimer is formed by binding of the C-terminus of each chain into the GKNDG groove of the other chain.
1TOV is a rebuilt and re-refined version of the same dataset from 1LPL, giving an improvement of about 4% in Rfree, identifying a sulfate near the groove (seen in both 2D and interactive images), and adding 3 more residues of ordered helix toward the N-terminal end of the domain fragment. Both are from the SouthEast Collaboratory for Structural Genomics (SECSG), solved by single wavelength sulfur-anomalous phasing. The new 1tov structure was produced as part of a systematic 30-structure test of the then-new MolProbity methods for diagnosing and correcting problems in crystallographic models[4].
As of 2012 there were 23 CAP-Gly domains in the PDB, including CLIP-170 domain 2 (2e3h) at 1.45A resolution.
