A Molecular Mechanism for the Requirement of PAT-4 (Integrin-linked Kinase (ILK)) for the Localization of UNC-112 (Kindlin) to Integrin Adhesion Sites

Abstract: Background: PAT-4 (ILK) is required for localization of UNC-112 (kindlin) to integrin adhesion sites. Results: N-and C-terminal halves of UNC-112 interact, and mutations abolishing this interaction restore the ability of a mutant UNC-112 that cannot bind PAT-4 to localize. Conclusion: UNC-112 exists in two conformations, and binding to PAT-4 converts UNC-112 to an open state. Significance: This molecular mechanism may be conserved among kindlins.

“…Our previous data support a model in which one of the functions of the interaction of PAT-4 with UNC-112 is to promote opening up of UNC-112 so that it can bind to the cytoplasmic tail of PAT-3 (␤-integrin) (1). In agreement with this model, we have shown here that in vivo, expression of one of the PAT-4 missense mutants permits UNC-112 D382V to localize to integrin adhesion sites (Fig.…”

“…Screening for PAT-4 Suppressor Mutations That Can Bind to UNC-112 (D382V)-We utilized random mutagenesis by PCR, as described previously (1). PAT-4 cDNAs with mutations were amplified with two primers (5Ј in (GAA GAT ACC CCA CCA AAC) and 3Ј in (AAA GAA GGC AAA ACG ATG)) and a PAT-4 cDNA plasmid (pDM#280) (13) as a template.…”

“…4D). This is consistent with yeast two-hybrid data (Mackinnon et al, 2002;Qadota et al, 2012) and strongly suggests that the kindlin-2 F2PH region mediates a direct interaction with the ILK kinase domain.…”
