Crystal structure of the PI3KC2alpha C2 domain in complex with IP6
Structural highlights
Function[P3C2A_HUMAN] Generates phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4)P2) that act as second messengers. Has a role in several intracellular trafficking events. Functions in insulin signaling and secretion. Required for translocation of the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 to the plasma membrane and glucose uptake in response to insulin-mediated RHOQ activation. Regulates insulin secretion through two different mechanisms: involved in glucose-induced insulin secretion downstream of insulin receptor in a pathway that involves AKT1 activation and TBC1D4/AS160 phosphorylation, and participates in the late step of insulin granule exocytosis probably in insulin granule fusion. Synthesizes PtdIns3P in response to insulin signaling. Functions in clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle formation and distribution. Regulates dynamin-independent endocytosis, probably by recruiting EEA1 to internalizing vesicles. In neurosecretory cells synthesizes PtdIns3P on large dense core vesicles. Participates in calcium induced contraction of vascular smooth muscle by regulating myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation through a mechanism involving Rho kinase-dependent phosphorylation of the MLCP-regulatory subunit MYPT1. May play a role in the EGF signaling cascade. May be involved in mitosis and UV-induced damage response. Required for maintenance of normal renal structure and function by supporting normal podocyte function.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedPhosphorylation of phosphoinositides by the class II phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) PI3K-C2alpha is essential for many processes, including neuroexocytosis and formation of clathrin-coated vesicles. A defining feature of the class II PI3Ks is a C-terminal module composed of phox-homology (PX) and C2 membrane interacting domains; however, the mechanisms that control their specific cellular localization remain poorly understood. Here we report the crystal structure of the C2 domain of PI3K-C2alpha in complex with the phosphoinositide head-group mimic inositol hexaphosphate, revealing two distinct pockets for membrane binding. The C2 domain preferentially binds to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate, and low-resolution structures of the combined PX-C2 module by small-angle X-ray scattering reveal a compact conformation in which cooperative lipid binding by each domain binding can occur. Finally, we demonstrate an unexpected role for calcium in perturbing the membrane interactions of the PX-C2 module, which we speculate may be important for regulating the activity of PI3K-C2alpha.
