STRUCTURE OF THE FIRST C2-DOMAIN OF SYNAPTOTAGMIN I: A NOVEL CA2+(SLASH)PHOSPHOLIPID BINDING FOLD
Overview
C2 domains are regulatory sequence motifs that occur widely in nature. Synaptotagmin I, a synaptic vesicle protein involved in the Ca2+ regulation of exocytosis, contains two C2 domains, the first of which acts as a Ca2+ sensor. We now describe the three-dimensional structure of this C2 domain at 1.9 A resolution in both the Ca(2+)-bound and Ca(2+)-free forms. The C2 polypeptide forms an eight-stranded beta sandwich constructed around a conserved four-stranded motif designated as a C2 key. Ca2+ binds in a cup-shaped depression between two polypeptide loops located at the N- and C-termini of the C2-key motif.
