Complex of Arl2 and PDE delta, Crystal Form 1

Overview

Arf-like (Arl) proteins are close relatives of the Arf regulators of, vesicular transport, but their function is unknown. Here, we present the, crystal structure of full-length Arl2-GTP in complex with its effector PDE, delta solved in two crystal forms (Protein Data Bank codes 1KSG, 1KSH and, 1KSJ). Arl2 shows a dramatic conformational change from the GDP-bound, form, which suggests that it is reversibly membrane associated. PDE delta, is structurally closely related to RhoGDI and contains a deep empty, hydrophobic pocket. Further experiments show that H-Ras, Rheb, Rho6 and G, alpha(i1) interact with PDE delta and that, at least for H-Ras, the intact, C-terminus is required. We suggest PDE delta to be a specific soluble, transport factor for certain prenylated proteins and Arl2-GTP a regulator, of PDE delta-mediated transport.
