STRUCTURE OF THE PX DOMAIN FROM P40PHOX BOUND TO PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL 3-PHOSPHATE
Structural highlights
Disease[NCF4_HUMAN] Defects in NCF4 are the cause of chronic granulomatous disease autosomal recessive cytochrome-b-positive type 3 (CGD3) [MIM:613960]. CGD3 is a disorder characterized by the inability of neutrophils and phagocytes to kill microbes that they have ingested. Patients suffer from life-threatening bacterial/fungal infections.[1] Function[NCF4_HUMAN] Component of the NADPH-oxidase, a multicomponent enzyme system responsible for the oxidative burst in which electrons are transported from NADPH to molecular oxygen, generating reactive oxidant intermediates. It may be important for the assembly and/or activation of the NADPH-oxidase complex. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedMore than 50 human proteins with a wide range of functions have a 120 residue phosphoinositide binding module known as the PX domain. The 1.7 A X-ray crystal structure of the PX domain from the p40(phox) subunit of NADPH oxidase bound to PtdIns(3)P shows that the PX domain embraces the 3-phosphate on one side of a water-filled, positively charged pocket and reveals how 3-phosphoinositide specificity is achieved. A chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)-associated mutation in the p47(phox) PX domain that abrogates PtdIns(3)P binding maps to a conserved Arg that does not directly interact with the phosphoinositide but instead appears to stabilize a critical lipid binding loop. The SH3 domain present in the full-length protein does not affect soluble PtdIns(3)P binding to the p40(phox) PX domain.
