Figure 1. DAPP1-PH and Grp1-PH Recognize Distinct Patterns of Phosphate Groups(A) Binding of Ins(1,3,4)P[3] (magenta, squares), and Ins(1,5,6)P[3] (which has the same phosphate arrangement as Ins(3,4,5)P[3]) (cyan, triangles) to DAPP1-PH (left) and Grp1-PH (right) is compared using a ^3H-Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] competition assay ([17]). DAPP1-PH binds 10-fold more strongly to Ins(1,3,4)P[3] than to the Ins(3,4,5)P[3] analog, while the converse is true for Grp1-PH.(B) Structures of the inositol trisphosphates. Ins(1,3,4)P[3] (magenta) and Ins(3,4,5)P[3] (cyan) are compared. Note that Ins(3,4,5)P[3] is equivalent to Ins(1,5,6)P[3] except in the positioning of the single axial hydroxyl group (2-OH). Ins(3,4,5)P[3] is not commercially available, so Ins(1,5,6)P[3] was used for the experiment shown in (A). Since Ins(3,5,6)P[3] and Ins(1,3,4)P[3] bind identically to DAPP1-PH (Table 1), we suggest that the axial 2-hydroxyl is not likely to be important in defining binding specificity.
