Crystallographic analysis of the specific yet versatile recognition of distinct nuclear localization signals by karyopherin alpha.

  ABSTRACT  
 
BACKGROUND: Karyopherin alpha (importin alpha) is an adaptor molecule that recognizes proteins containing nuclear localization signals (NLSs). The prototypical NLS that is able to bind to karyopherin alpha is that of the SV40 T antigen, and consists of a short positively charged sequence motif. Distinct classes of NLSs (monopartite and bipartite) have been identified that are only partly conserved with respect to one another but are nevertheless recognized by the same receptor. RESULTS: We report the crystal structures of two peptide complexes of yeast karyopherin alpha (Kapalpha): one with a human c-myc NLS peptide, determined at 2.1 A resolution, and one with a Xenopus nucleoplasmin NLS peptide, determined at 2.4 A resolution. Analysis of these structures reveals the determinants of specificity for the binding of a relatively hydrophobic monopartite NLS and of a bipartite NLS peptide. The peptides bind Kapalpha in its extended surface groove, which presents a modular array of tandem binding pockets for amino acid residues. CONCLUSIONS: Monopartite and bipartite NLSs bind to a different number of amino acid binding pockets and make different interactions within them. The relatively hydrophobic monopartite c-myc NLS binds extensively at a few binding pockets in a similar manner to that of the SV40 T antigen NLS. In contrast, the bipartite nucleoplasmin NLS engages the whole array of pockets with individually more limited but overall more abundant interactions, which include the NLS two basic clusters and the backbone of its non-conserved linker region. Versatility in the specific recognition of NLSs relies on the modular.

Figure 2.
Figure 2. Interactions of distinct NLSs with Kapa. The NLS peptides (shown in colour) nestle between the conserved Trp-Asn pairs of residues that line the surface of Kapa. Each pair is provided by a single ARM repeat, shaping the regularly spaced P and P' specificity pockets at the large and small binding sites, respectively. The polar and electrostatic interactions between conserved protein and NLS residues are indicated with dotted lines. (a) Schematic diagram of the interactions between the human c-myc NLS peptide (highlighted in blue) and yeast Kapa. The monopartite NLS binds at the large (functional) and small sites with mainchain and sidechain interactions. (b) Schematic diagram of the interactions between the Xenopus nucleoplasmin NLS peptide (highlighted in pink) and protein residues. The bipartite NLS binds along the whole surface groove with mainchain and sidechain interactions at the small site, and with mainly backbone interactions of the linker and the downstream cluster.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
