Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element-Binding Protein (CPEB)

Structure

All CPEB proteins have a similar structure :

  • A N-terminal region which is a regulatory region with phosphorylation and dephosphorylation sites. This region is variable in length and composition.
  • A C-terminal region, composed of 2 recognition patterns : RRMs domains and zinc finger domains.
    • Zinc finger patterns [1]

Caption for this structure

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

About 54 residues with 6 cysteines and 2 histidines involved in a bond with a zinc atom, conserved for all isoforms and species. The modification of one of the eight zinc ligands destabilize the connection to the mRNA. includes :

      • A (Rd turn, residues 515-520), which is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between amide and sulfure.
      • β-hairpin with (residues 525-527) and (residues 533-535) between which there is an helical turn stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
      • An (residues 538-545) which forms the second bridge between the two zinc-binding sites. The surface-exposed face of the helix has a potential for specific intermolecular interactions with nucleic acids or proteins.
      • A 310 (residues 550-552).
      • 2 zinc binding sites, the first one is composed of and the second is composed of .
    • RRMs patterns [2]
