C2 DOMAIN FROM PROTEIN KINASE C (BETA)
OverviewOverview
BACKGROUND: Conventional isoforms (alpha, beta and gamma) of protein, kinase C (PKC) are synergistically activated by phosphatidylserine and, Ca2+; both bind to C2 domains located within the PKC amino-terminal, regulatory regions. C2 domains contain a bipartite or tripartite, Ca2+-binding site formed by opposing loops at one end of the protein., Neither the structural basis for cooperativity between phosphatidylserine, and Ca2+, nor the binding site for phosphatidylserine are known. RESULTS:, The structure of the C2 domain from PKCbeta complexed with Ca2+ and, o-phospho-L-serine has been determined to 2.7 A resolution using X-ray, crystallography. The eight-stranded, Greek key beta-sandwich fold of, PKCbeta-C2 is similar to that of the synaptotagmin I type I C2 domain., Three Ca2+ ions, one at a novel site, were located, each sharing common, aspartate ligands. One of these ligands is donated by a dyad-related C2, molecule. A phosphoserine molecule binds to a lysine-rich cluster in C2., CONCLUSIONS: Shared ligation among the three Ca2+ ions suggests that they, bind cooperatively to PKCbeta-C2. Cooperativity may be compromised by the, accumulation of positive charge in the binding site as successive ions are, bound. Model building shows that the C1 domain could provide carboxylate, and carbonyl ligands for two of the three Ca2+ sites. Ca2+-mediated, interactions between the two domains could contribute to enzyme activation, as well as to the creation of a positively charged, phosphatidylserine-binding site.
