Abstract
Abp1p is an actin-binding protein that plays a central role in the organization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae actin cytoskeleton. By a combination of two-hybrid and phage-display approaches, we have identified six new ligands of the Abp1-SH3 domain. None of these SH3-mediated novel interactions was detected in recent all genome high throughput protein interaction projects. Here we show that the SH3-mediated association of Abp1p with the Ser/Thr kinases Prk1p and Ark1p is essential for their localization to actin cortical patches. The Abp1-SH3 domain has a rather unusual binding specificity, because its target peptides contain the tetrapentapeptide +XXXPXXPX+PXXL with positive charges flanking the polyproline core on both sides. Here we present the structure of the Abp1-SH3 domain solved at 1.3-A resolution. The peptide-binding pockets in the SH3 domain are flanked by two acidic residues that are uncommon at those positions in the SH3 domain family. We have shown by site-directed mutagenesis that one of these negatively charged side chains may be the key determinant for the preference for non-classical ligands.
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Localization of Prk1p to actin cortical patches depends on an intact polyproline motif at its C terminus. Yeast cells were transfected with plasmids directing the synthesis of GFP-Prk1p (upper panel, PRK1) or GFP-Prk1p carrying a mutation in the polyproline stretch (lower panel, PRK1 mut poly P). In the panels on the left, the clear spots are attributed to fluorescence of the GFP-Prk1p hybrid protein. Actin was visualized in the two panels on the right by staining with rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin (Rh). To avoid disturbing cell physiology by overexpressing the Prk1p kinase, a mutationally inactivated kinase was used in this experiment (GFP-Prk1p K56A).

Fig. 5. Superposition of the Abp1p-SH3 domain (red) with Sem5-SH3 (green) and c-Abl-SH3 (blue). The residues in the Abp1-SH3-PXXP-binding site are labeled. They overlap almost perfectly to those in Sem5-SH3 and c-Abl-SH3. The figure was produced using MOLSCRIPT (49). Y53, Tyr-53; Y9, Tyr-9; W35, Trp-35; N52, Asn-52; Y7, Tyr-7; P50, Pro-50.
