Abstract
Disabled (Dab) 1 and 2 are mammalian homologues of Drosophila DAB. Dab1 is a key cytoplasmic mediator in Reelin signaling that controls cell positioning in the developing central nervous system, whereas Dab2 is an adapter protein that plays a role in endocytosis. DAB family proteins possess an amino-terminal DAB homology (DH) domain that is similar to the phosphotyrosine binding/phosphotyrosine interaction (PTB/PI) domain. We have solved the structures of the DH domains of Dab2 (Dab2-DH) and Dab1 (Dab1-DH) in three different ligand forms, ligand-free Dab2-DH, the binary complex of Dab2-DH with the Asn-Pro-X-Tyr (NPXY) peptide of amyloid precursor protein (APP), and the ternary complex of Dab1-DH with the APP peptide and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3, the head group of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2)). The similarity of these structures suggests that the rigid Dab DH domain maintains two independent pockets for binding of the APP/lipoprotein receptors and phosphoinositides. Mutagenesis confirmed the structural determinants specific for the NPXY sequence and PtdIns-4,5-P2 binding. NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the DH domain binds to Ins-1,4,5-P3 independent of the NPXY peptides. These findings suggest that simultaneous interaction of the rigid DH domain with the NPXY sequence and PtdIns-4,5-P2 plays a role in the attachment of Dab proteins to the APP/lipoprotein receptors and phosphoinositide-rich membranes.
Figure 1.
FIG. 1. Structures of the Dab DH domain. Overview of ligand-free Dab2-DH (A), the binary complex of Dab2-DH with the APP peptide (-7NGYENPTYK+1) (B), and the ternary complex of Dab1-DH with the same APP peptide and Ins-1,4,5-P[3] (C). Helices are shown in cyan, strands are shown in yellow, and other structural elements are shown in brown. The APP peptide is shown in green, whereas carbons of Ins-1,4,5-P[3] binding residues are in yellow (ball and stick representations). Note that the NPXY motif binding site is 25 Å from the binding site for Ins-1,4,5-P[3], consistent with the possible simultaneous binding of the Dab DH domain to peptides and to phosphoinositides (18, 27). D, structural comparison of Dab2-DH with the other NPXY binding PTB/PI domains Shc and X-11 (left to right). The top panels show the NPXY peptides (green), Tyr-0 (carbons, green; ball and stick representation), and the interacting protein residues (carbons, gray; ball and stick representation). The bottom panels show close-up views of the Tyr-0-binding site. Hydrogen bonds are indicated by broken lines.

FIG. 3. Binding site of the APP peptide. Stereoview of the APP peptide binding to the Dab2-DH (A) and the Dab1-DH (B). Solid lines indicate hydrogen bonds. Carbons are shown in gray in Dab-DH and in green in the APP peptide (selected residues are numbered). Note that the side chain conformation of tyrosine of the APP peptide at the (-5) position differs between the Dab2-DH and Dab1-DH. Boxed residues were mutated for the experiment shown in Fig. 4.
