N-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF LISSENCEPHALY-1 PROTEIN (LIS-1)
Overview
Mutations in the Lis1 gene result in lissencephaly (smooth brain), a, debilitating developmental syndrome caused by the impaired ability of, postmitotic neurons to migrate to their correct destination in the, cerebral cortex. Sequence similarities suggest that the LIS1 protein, contains a C-terminal seven-blade beta-propeller domain, while the, structure of the N-terminal fragment includes the LisH (Lis-homology), motif, a pattern found in over 100 eukaryotic proteins with a hitherto, unknown function. We present the 1.75 A resolution crystal structure of, the N-terminal domain of mouse LIS1, and we show that the LisH motif is a, novel, thermodynamically very stable dimerization domain. The structure, explains the molecular basis of a low severity form of lissencephaly.
