Crystal structure of the mouse cavin1 HR1 domain
Structural highlights
FunctionCAVN1_MOUSE Plays an important role in caveolae formation and organization. Essential for the formation of caveolae in all tissues (PubMed:18191225, PubMed:18840361, PubMed:18056712, PubMed:30188967). Core component of the CAVIN complex which is essential for recruitment of the complex to the caveolae in presence of calveolin-1 (CAV1) (PubMed:19546242). Essential for normal oligomerization of CAV1 (PubMed:23652019). Promotes ribosomal transcriptional activity in response to metabolic challenges in the adipocytes and plays an important role in the formation of the ribosomal transcriptional loop (PubMed:27528195). Dissociates transcription complexes paused by DNA-bound TTF1, thereby releasing both RNA polymerase I and pre-RNA from the template (PubMed:9582279, PubMed:11139612). The caveolae biogenesis pathway is required for the secretion of proteins such as GASK1A (PubMed:30188967).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Publication Abstract from PubMedCaveolae are cell-surface membrane invaginations that play critical roles in cellular processes including signaling and membrane homeostasis. The cavin proteins, in cooperation with caveolins, are essential for caveola formation. Here we show that a minimal N-terminal domain of the cavins, termed HR1, is required and sufficient for their homo- and hetero-oligomerization. Crystal structures of the mouse cavin1 and zebrafish cavin4a HR1 domains reveal highly conserved trimeric coiled-coil architectures, with intersubunit interactions that determine the specificity of cavin-cavin interactions. The HR1 domain contains a basic surface patch that interacts with polyphosphoinositides and coordinates with additional membrane-binding sites within the cavin C terminus to facilitate membrane association and remodeling. Electron microscopy of purified cavins reveals the existence of large assemblies, composed of a repeating rod-like structural element, and we propose that these structures polymerize through membrane-coupled interactions to form the unique striations observed on the surface of caveolae in vivo.
