FIRST PDZ DOMAIN OF THE HUMAN NA+/H+ EXCHANGER REGULATORY FACTOR
OverviewOverview
The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF; also known as EBP50), contains two PDZ domains that mediate the assembly of transmembrane and, cytosolic proteins into functional signal transduction complexes. The, NHERF PDZ1 domain interacts specifically with the motifs DSLL, DSFL, and, DTRL present at the carboxyl termini of the beta(2) adrenergic receptor, (beta(2)AR), the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and the, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), respectively, and plays a central role in the physiological regulation of these, proteins. The crystal structure of the human NHERF PDZ1 has been, determined at 1.5 A resolution using multiwavelength anomalous diffraction, phasing. The overall structure is similar to known PDZ structures, with, notable differences in the NHERF PDZ1 carboxylate-binding loop that, contains the GYGF motif, and the variable loop between the beta2 and beta3, strands. In the crystalline state, the carboxyl-terminal sequence DEQL of, PDZ1 occupies the peptide-binding pocket of a neighboring PDZ1 molecule, related by 2-fold crystallographic symmetry. This structure reveals the, molecular mechanism of carboxyl-terminal leucine recognition by class I, PDZ domains, and provides insights into the specificity of NHERF, interaction with the carboxyl termini of several membrane receptors and, ion channels, including the beta(2)AR, PDGFR, and CFTR.
