SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE AUTOINHIBITED CONFORMATION OF WASP
Contents |
Overview
The Rho-family GTPase, Cdc42, can regulate the actin cytoskeleton through, activation of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) family members., Activation relieves an autoinhibitory contact between the GTPase-binding, domain and the carboxy-terminal region of WASP proteins. Here we report, the autoinhibited structure of the GTPase-binding domain of WASP, which, can be induced by the C-terminal region or by organic co-solvents. In the, autoinhibited complex, intramolecular interactions with the GTPase-binding, domain occlude residues of the C terminus that regulate the Arp2/3, actin-nucleating complex. Binding of Cdc42 to the GTPase-binding domain, causes a dramatic conformational change, resulting in disruption of the, hydrophobic core and release of the C terminus, enabling its interaction, with the actin regulatory machinery. These data show that 'intrinsically, unstructured' peptides such as the GTPase-binding domain of WASP can be, induced into distinct structural and functional states depending on, context.
