A structure of substrate-bound Synaptojanin1 provides new insights in its mechanism and the effect of disease mutations

Abstract: Synaptojanin1 (Synj1) is a phosphoinositide phosphatase, important in clathrin uncoating during endocytosis of presynaptic vesicles. It was identified as a potential drug target for Alzheimer’s disease, Down syndrome, and TBC1D24-associated epilepsy, while also loss-of-function mutations in Synj1 are associated with epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. Despite its involvement in a range of disorders, structural, and detailed mechanistic information regarding the enzyme is lacking. Here, we report the crystal stru… Show more

“…We wondered whether the loss in activity in Inpp5kb could be caused by changes in amino acids identified to be critical for the catalytic activity of INPP5K. Basing this analysis on the available crystal structures of other Type II inositol phosphate 5-phosphatases, INPP5B and SYNJ1 (Paesmans et al, 2020; Trésaugues et al, 2014), we found that all sites were conserved in Inpp5ka and Inpp5kb and there were no major changes that could explain differences in activity (asterisks in Fig. 1 ).…”

These structures play an important role in mediating anchorage to the plasma membrane and substrate recognition and binding ( 42 45 ), suggesting that hydrophobic spine-like structures are common regulatory structures governing the catalytic activity of many phosphoinositide phosphatases.…”
