Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)] and its immediate breakdown product PtdIns(3,4)P(2) function as second messengers in growth factor- and insulin-induced signalling pathways. One of the ways that these 3-phosphoinositides are known to regulate downstream signalling events is by attracting proteins that possess specific PtdIns-binding pleckstrin homology (PH) domains to the plasma membrane. Many of these proteins, such as protein kinase B, phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 and the dual adaptor for phosphotyrosine and 3-phosphoinositides (DAPP1) interact with both PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) and PtdIns(3,4)P(2) with similar affinity. Recently, a new PH-domain-containing protein, termed tandem PH-domain-containing protein (TAPP) 1, was described which is the first protein reported to bind PtdIns(3,4)P(2) specifically. Here we describe the crystal structure of the PtdIns(3,4)P(2)-binding PH domain of TAPP1 at 1.4 A (1 A=0.1 nm) resolution in complex with an ordered citrate molecule. The structure is similar to the known structure of the PH domain of DAPP1 around the D-3 and D-4 inositol-phosphate-binding sites. However, a glycine residue adjacent to the D-5 inositol-phosphate-binding site in DAPP1 is substituted for a larger alanine residue in TAPP1, which also induces a conformational change in the neighbouring residues. We show that mutation of this glycine to alanine in DAPP1 converts DAPP1 into a TAPP1-like PH domain that only interacts with PtdIns(3,4)P(2), whereas the alanine to glycine mutation in TAPP1 permits the TAPP1 PH domain to interact with PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3).

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
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.

Figure 6. Prediction of PH Domain 3-Phosphoinositide SpecificityPH domains shown to recognize PI 3-kinase products ([15]) are aligned with Grp1-PH and Btk-PH (A) or DAPP1-PH (B), according to whether they are predicted (see text) to make direct side chain contacts with the 5-phosphate of Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4]. Elements of secondary structure are delineated with gray arrows (β strands) or a black bar (the C-terminal α helix). Residues are colored when their side chain is involved in interactions with Ins(1,3,4,5)P[4] in the Btk-PH, Grp1-PH, or DAPP1-PH complex structures. Yellow represents interaction with the 1-phosphate; red, the 3-phosphate; green, the 4-phosphate; and blue, the 5-phosphate. Color coding is predicted for PH domains of unknown structure. The 3-phosphoinositide binding motif ([15]) in the β1/β2 region is also color coded as described above. In (A), PH domains with names underlined are known to select PtdIns(3,4,5)P[3] over PtdIns(3,4)P[2]. Others are predicted to do so. In (B), DAPP1-PH and PKB-PH are both known to bind almost equally to PtdIns(3,4,5)P[3] and PtdIns(3,4)P[2]. Others are predicted to do so.
