CRYSTAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND PDZ DOMAIN OF SYNTENIN
Overview
Crystal structures of the PDZ2 domain of the scaffolding protein syntenin, both unbound and in complexes with peptides derived from C termini of IL5, receptor (alpha chain) and syndecan, reveal the molecular roots of, syntenin's degenerate specificity. Three distinct binding sites (S(0), S(-1), and S(-2)), with affinities for hydrophobic side chains, function, in a combinatorial way: S(-1) and S(-2) act together to bind syndecan, while S(0) and S(-1) are involved in the binding of IL5Ralpha. Neither, mode of interaction is consistent with the prior classification scheme, which defined the IL5Ralpha interaction as class I (-S/T-X-phi) and the, syndecan interaction as class II (-phi-X-phi). These results, in, conjunction with other emerging structural data on PDZ domains, call for a, revision of their classification and of the existing model of their, mechanism.
