Abstract
Calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, is the common target for two immunophilin-immunosuppressant complexes, cyclophilin A-cyclosporin A (CyPA-CsA) and FKBP-FK506. How the two structurally distinct immunophilin-drug complexes bind the same target has remained unknown. We report the crystal structure of calcineurin (CN) in complex with CyPA-CsA at 2.8-A resolution. The CyPA-CsA complex binds to a composite surface formed by the catalytic and regulatory subunits of CN, where the complex of FK506 and its binding protein FKBP also binds. While the majority of the CN residues involved in the binding are common for both immunophilin-immunosuppressant complexes, a significant number of the residues are distinct. Unlike FKBP-FK506, CyPA-CsA interacts with Arg-122 at the active site of CN, implying direct involvement of CyPA-CsA in the regulation of CN catalysis. The simultaneous interaction of CyPA with both the composite surface and the active site of CN suggests that the composite surface may serve as a substrate recognition site responsible for the narrow substrate specificity of CN. The comparison of CyPA-CsA-CN with FKBP-FK506-CN significantly contributes to understanding the molecular basis of regulation of CN activity by the immunophilin-immunosuppressant.

A total of 25 residues of CN are involved in interaction with CyPA-CsA: Arg-122, Tyr-159, Phe-160, Leu-312, Val-314, Tyr-315, Tyr-341, Trp-342, Pro-344, Asn-345, Trp-352, Ser-353, Pro-355, Phe-356, and Glu-359 of CNA, and Glu-47, Gln-50, Met-118, Val-119, Asn-122, Leu-123, Lys-124, and Lys-164 of CNB. Red balls represent residues interacting with CyPA and green balls represent residues interacting with CsA (green sticks). The residues from CNB are marked with the letter "B" attached to the residue number. (B) The CN surface for binding of CyPA-CsA and FKBP12-FK506. CN residues in red interact with both CyPA-CsA and FKBP12-FK506. Green residues are unique for CyPA-CsA binding and blue residues are unique for FKBP-FK506. CsA and FK506 are shown as green and blue sticks. (C) CyPA residues for recognition of CN (gold) and CsA (blue). CsA is shown in green sticks.
