Abstract
Pleckstrin homology (PH) domains are protein modules of around 120 amino acids found in many proteins involved in cellular signaling. Certain PH domains drive signal-dependent membrane recruitment of their host proteins by binding strongly and specifically to lipid second messengers produced by agonist-stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-Ks). We describe X-ray crystal structures of two different PH domains bound to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, the head group of the major PI 3-K product PtdIns(3,4,5)P3. One of these PH domains (from Grp1) is PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 specific, while the other (from DAPP1/PHISH) binds strongly to both PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and its 5'-dephosphorylation product, PtdIns(3,4)P2. Comparison of the two structures provides an explanation for the distinct phosphoinositide specificities of the two PH domains and allows us to predict the 3-phosphoinositide selectivity of uncharacterized PH domains.

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.
