Phox domain interaction with PtdIns(3)P targets the Vam7 t-SNARE to vacuole membranes

Abstract: Specific recognition of phosphoinositides is crucial for protein sorting and membrane trafficking. Protein transport to the yeast vacuole depends on the Vam7 t-SNARE and its phox homology (PX) domain. Here, we show that the PX domain of Vam7 targets to vacuoles in vivo in a manner dependent on phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate generation. A novel phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate-binding motif and an exposed loop that interacts with the lipid bilayer are identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Con… Show more

“…These findings are in agreement with those observed in other C2 domains, which typically exhibit highly variable and relatively low lipid specificity [18]. Phospholipid binding by the C2 domain was at most ∼60 % of the total protein when compared with the Vam7p PX domain ( Figure 1B), a PtdIns3P binding domain [29]. These results indicate that the Tollip C2 domain preferentially binds phosphatidylinositol species with phosphate groups at their inositol rings.…”

“…© 2005 by The American Society for Cell Biology nexin (SNX) family of structurally and functionally diverse proteins, defined by the presence of a phox (phagocyte oxidase) homology domain (PX) that encodes a proline-rich sequence and an upstream phospholipid-binding domain (Cheever et al, 2001). So far, 25 human SNXs have been identified and recent studies have uncovered a role for several of these proteins in membrane trafficking (Worby and Dixon, 2002).…”

“…So far, PX domains are found in over 100 known and hypothetical eukaryotic proteins. The physiological function of the PX domain was only revealed recently by several independent studies (Cheever et al, 2001;Ellson et al, 2001;Kanai et al, 2001;Song et al, 2001;Xu et al, 2001a,b). The majority of PX domains shows binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PtdIns(3)P), an association that allows the host protein to localize to membranes of the endocytic pathway (Cozier et al, 2002).…”
