CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE PDZ TANDEM OF HUMAN SYNTENIN
|
OverviewOverview
Syntenin, a 33 kDa protein, interacts with several cell membrane receptors, and with merlin, the product of the causal gene for neurofibromatosis type, II. We report a crystal structure of the functional fragment of human, syntenin containing two canonical PDZ domains, as well as binding studies, for full-length syntenin, the PDZ tandem, and isolated PDZ domains. We, show that the functional properties of syntenin are a result of, independent interactions with target peptides, and that each domain is, able to bind peptides belonging to two different classes: PDZ1 binds, peptides from classes I and III, while PDZ2 interacts with classes I and, II. The independent binding of merlin by PDZ1 and syndecan-4 by PDZ2, provides direct evidence for the coupling of syndecan-mediated signaling, to actin regulation by merlin.
