Abstract
GoLoco motif proteins bind to the inhibitory G(i) subclass of G-protein α subunits and slow the release of bound GDP; this interaction is considered critical to asymmetric cell division and neuro-epithelium and epithelial progenitor differentiation. To provide protein tools for interrogating the precise cellular role(s) of GoLoco motif/Gα(i) complexes, we have employed structure-based protein design strategies to predict gain-of-function mutations that increase GoLoco motif binding affinity. Here, we describe fluorescence polarization and isothermal titration calorimetry measurements showing three predicted Gα(i1) point mutations, E116L, Q147L, and E245L; each increases affinity for multiple GoLoco motifs. A component of this affinity enhancement results from a decreased rate of dissociation between the Gα mutants and GoLoco motifs. For Gα(i1)(Q147L), affinity enhancement was seen to be driven by favorable changes in binding enthalpy, despite reduced contributions from binding entropy. The crystal structure of Gα(i1)(Q147L) bound to the RGS14 GoLoco motif revealed disorder among three peptide residues surrounding a well defined Leu-147 side chain. Monte Carlo simulations of the peptide in this region showed a sampling of multiple backbone conformations in contrast to the wild-type complex. We conclude that mutation of Glu-147 to leucine creates a hydrophobic surface favorably buried upon GoLoco peptide binding, yet the hydrophobic Leu-147 also promotes flexibility among residues 511-513 of the RGS14 GoLoco peptide.

Figure 1: alpha-[i1] [glyph.gif]GDP in complex with the RGS14 GoLoco region. a, Ribbon drawing of R14GL peptide (red) in contact with the Ras-like (green) and all-helical (yellow) domains of G [i1]. Also shown are the three switch regions of G [i1] (blue), GDP (magenta) and Mg2+ (orange). b, Molecular surface of R14GL (red) and G (cyan) contacts on G [i1] GDP, denoting shared switch II residue contacts (magenta). Highlighted are G [i1] residues that contact the R14GL peptide and are different within G [o]. c, Space fill model of [i1] GDP in its R14GL-bound conformation (switch regions in blue, [148]alpha B - [149]alpha C loop in yellow) and G [150]beta [1] [151]gamma [2]-bound conformation (in cyan).

Figure 2: Role of the GoLoco motif Asp-Gln-Arg triad in GDI activity. a, Stereo view of the remodelled nucleotide binding pocket. The G [i1] Arg 178 side chain (transparent yellow) is re-oriented (green) to form a salt bridge with Glu 43 of the G [i1] subunit, thus allowing Arg r516 of the GoLoco motif (red) to approach and interact with the - and -phosphate oxygens (and bridging oxygen) of GDP. b, GST -RGS14 GoLoco fusion proteins (GST -RGS14[496 -531]) bearing alanine (R516A) or leucine (R516L) substitutions show decreased GDI activity relative to the wild-type GST -RGS14[496 -531] (WT), as measured both by BODIPY -GTP S binding (left) and by AlF[4]^--induced increase of intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence (right).
