STRUCTURE OF PITP-ALPHA COMPLEXED TO PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL
Overview
Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein alpha (PITPalpha) selectively, transports and promotes exchange of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and, phosphatidylcholine (PC) between lipid bilayers. In higher eukaryotes, PITPalpha is required for cellular functions such as phospholipase, C-mediated signaling, regulated exocytosis, and secretory vesicle, formation. We have determined the crystal structure of human PITPalpha, bound to its physiological ligand, PI, at 2.95 A resolution. The structure, identifies the critical side chains within the lipid-headgroup binding, pocket that define the exquisite specificity for PI. Mutational analysis, of the PI binding pocket is in good agreement with the structural data and, allows manipulation of functional properties of PITPalpha. Surprisingly, there are no ...
