Structural highlights
Disease[LYAM3_HUMAN] Defects in SELP may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.[1] Function[LYAM3_HUMAN] Ca(2+)-dependent receptor for myeloid cells that binds to carbohydrates on neutrophils and monocytes. Mediates the interaction of activated endothelial cells or platelets with leukocytes. The ligand recognized is sialyl-Lewis X. Mediates rapid rolling of leukocyte rolling over vascular surfaces during the initial steps in inflammation through interaction with PSGL1.[2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedInternalization signals of the Yxx phi type (phi = bulky hydrophobic side chain) interact with the mu 2 chain of AP-2 adaptors. Internalization activity is intolerant of non-conservative substitution of either the tyrosine or the phi side chains, which bind to hydrophobic pockets in mu 2 adaptin in a conformation described as 'a two pinned plug into a socket'. P-selectin, a type I transmembrane protein, contains the Yxx phi-like sequence YGVF in its cytoplasmic domain, but substitution of either the tyrosine or phenylalanine with alanine in the full-length protein causes only small changes in the rate of endocytosis. It is shown here that the sequence YGVF contained within a peptide corresponding to the 17 COOH-terminal amino acids of P-selectin binds to mu 2 adaptin in the same fashion previously seen for other Yxx phi motifs. In addition, the P-selectin peptide binds to a third hydrophobic pocket in mu 2 adaptin through a leucine at position Y-3 in the peptide. This structure suggests that some sequences can function as a 'three pinned plug', in which internalization activity is not critically dependent on any one of the three interacting side chains.
