Crystal Structure of the coiled coil region 129-250 of the tumor suppressor gene product APC
Contents |
Overview
The APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) tumor suppressor protein has many, different intracellular functions including a nuclear export activity., Only little is known about the molecular architecture of the 2843-amino, acid APC protein. Guided by secondary structure predictions we identified, a fragment close to the N-terminal end, termed APC-(129-250), as a soluble, and protease-resistant domain. We solved the crystal structure of, APC-(129-250), which is monomeric and consists of three alpha-helices, forming two separate antiparallel coiled coils. APC-(129-250) includes the, nuclear export signal NES-(165-174) at the C-terminal end of the first, helix. Surprisingly, the conserved hydrophobic amino acids of, NES-(165-174) are buried in one of the coiled coils and are thus not, accessible for interaction with other proteins. We demonstrate the direct, interaction of APC-(129-250) with the nuclear export factor chromosome, maintenance region 1 (Crm-1). This interaction is enhanced by the small, GTPase Ran in its activated GTP-bound form and also by a double mutation, in APC-(129-250), which deletes two amino acids forming two of the major, interhelical interactions within the coiled coil. These observations hint, to a regulatory mechanism of the APC nuclear export activity by NES, masking.
