Crystal structure at 2.4 angstroms resolution of the complex of transducin betagamma and its regulator, phosducin.

  ABSTRACT  
 
The crystal structure of transducin's betagamma subunits complexed with phosducin, which regulates Gtbetagamma activity, has been solved to 2.4 angstroms resolution. Phosducin has two domains that wrap around Gtbetagamma to form an extensive interface. The N-terminal domain binds loops on the "top" Gtbeta surface, overlapping the Gtalpha binding surface, explaining how phosducin blocks Gtbetagamma's interaction with Gtalpha. The C-terminal domain shows structural homology to thioredoxin and binds the outer strands of Gtbeta's seventh and first blades in a manner likely to disrupt Gtbetagamma's normal orientation relative to the membrane and receptor. Phosducin's Ser-73, which when phosphorylated inhibits phosducin's function, points away from Gtbetagamma, toward a large flexible loop. Thus phosphorylation is not likely to affect the interface directly, but rather indirectly through an induced conformational change.

Figure 4.
Figure 4. Structure of Phosducin(A) Stereo pair showing the Cα trace of phosducin in the complex. The trace for residues 37 to 66 (open bars) is tentative. The N-terminal domain is at the top and the C-terminal domain is at the bottom of the figure. G[t]βγ would be located to the right of the N-terminal domain. The Ser-73 α carbon is enlarged and labeled. This figure was generated by DPLOT (G. Van Duyne).(B) Stereo pair showing the least-squares superimposed Cα traces of the phosducin C-terminal domain (blue) and thioredoxin ([18]) (red). The N- and C-terminal residues of the C-terminal domain are labeled P111 and P230, respectively. The N- and C-terminus of thioredoxin are labeled T1 and T108. The C-terminal domain is viewed from its left side, relative to (A), in an orientation similar to that in Figure 6A.

On the left is the phosducin/G[t]βγ complex, in the same orientation as in Figure 6A. On the right is G[t]βγ alone, in the same orientation. This figure was generated using GRASP ([33]).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
