Abstract
Contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane involve extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) in mammals or tricalbins in yeast, proteins with multiple C2 domains. One of the tandem C2 domains of E-Syt2 is predicted to bind Ca(2+), but no Ca(2+)-dependent function has been attributed to this protein. We have determined the crystal structures of the tandem C2 domains of E-Syt2 in the absence and presence of Ca(2+) and analyzed their Ca(2+)-binding properties by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Our data reveal an unexpected V-shaped structure with a rigid orientation between the two C2 domains that is not substantially altered by Ca(2+). The E-Syt2 C2A domain binds up to four Ca(2+) ions, whereas the C2B domain does not bind Ca(2+). These results suggest that E-Syt2 performs an as yet unidentified Ca(2+)-dependent function through its C2A domain and uncover fundamental differences between the properties of the tandem C2 domains of E-Syts and synaptotagmins.
