Function
[PDE6D_MOUSE] Promotes the release of prenylated target proteins from cellular membranes (PubMed:22179043). Modulates the activity of prenylated or palmitoylated Ras family members by regulating their subcellular location (PubMed:22179043). Required for normal ciliary targeting of farnesylated target proteins, such as INPP5E (By similarity). Modulates the subcellular location of target proteins by acting as a GTP specific dissociation inhibitor (GDI) (PubMed:22179043). Increases the affinity of ARL3 for GTP by several orders of magnitude. Stabilizes ARL3-GTP by decreasing the nucleotide dissociation rate.[UniProtKB:O43924][UniProtKB:Q95142][1] [2] [3]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Isoprenylated proteins are associated with membranes and their inter-compartmental distribution is regulated by solubilization factors, which incorporate lipid moieties in hydrophobic cavities and thereby facilitate free diffusion during trafficking. Here we report the crystal structure of a solubilization factor, the prenyl-binding protein (PrBP/delta), at 1.81 A resolution in its ligand-free apo-form. Apo-PrBP/delta harbors a preshaped, deep hydrophobic cavity, capacitating apo-PrBP/delta to readily bind its prenylated cargo. To investigate the molecular mechanism of cargo solubilization we analyzed the PrBP/delta-induced membrane dissociation of rod photoreceptor phosphodiesterase (PDE6). The results suggest that PrBP/delta exclusively interacts with the soluble fraction of PDE6. Depletion of soluble species in turn leads to dissociation of membrane-bound PDE6, as both are in equilibrium. This "solubilization by depletion" mechanism of PrBP/delta differs from the extraction of prenylated proteins by the similar folded solubilization factor RhoGDI, which interacts with membrane bound cargo via an N-terminal structural element lacking in PrBP/delta.
