“…Domains critical for PLC activity are found in urchin PLC: sea urchin PLC-δ contains Ser522, Lys438, Lys440, and Arg549 that are important for human PLC activity [19,33]. Based on structural/functional studies of human and sea urchin PI-3K, domains involved in catalysis (phox homology (PX) and C2 domains) are quite similar and likely mediate similar protein-protein interactions and/or binding to membrane lipids [22,73]. All targeted enzymes thus contain critical domains that have been conserved throughout subsequent evolution, implicating similar catalytic functions in echinoderms and vertebrates.…”

Studies using isolated sea urchin cortical vesicles have proven invaluable in dissecting mechanisms of Ca 2+ -triggered membrane fusion. However, only acute molecular manipulations are possible in vitro. Here, using selective pharmacological manipulations of sea urchin eggs ex vivo, we test the hypothesis that specific lipidic components of the membrane matrix selectively affect defined late stages of exocytosis, particularly the Ca 2+ -triggered steps of fast membrane fusion. Egg treatments with cholesterol-lowering drugs resulted in the inhibition of vesicle fusion. Exogenous cholesterol recovered fusion extent and efficiency in cholesterol-depleted membranes; α-tocopherol, a structurally dissimilar curvature analogue, selectively restored fusion extent. Inhibition of phospholipase C reduced vesicle phosphatidylethanolamine and suppressed both the extent and kinetics of fusion. Although phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibition altered levels of polyphosphoinositide species and reduced all fusion parameters, sequestering polyphosphoinositides selectively inhibited fusion kinetics. Thus, cholesterol and phosphatidylethanolamine play direct roles in the fusion pathway, contributing negative curvature. Cholesterol also organizes the physiological fusion site, defining fusion efficiency. A selective influence of phosphatidylethanolamine on fusion kinetics sheds light on the local microdomain structure at the site of docking/fusion. Polyphosphoinositides have modulatory upstream roles in priming: alterations in specific polyphosphoinositides likely represent the terminal priming steps defining fully docked, release-ready vesicles. Thus, this pharmacological approach has the potential to be a robust high-throughput platform to identify molecular components of the physiological fusion machine critical to docking, priming, and triggered fusion.

“…Thus, many BAR domains selectively associate with membranes of high curvature due to the shape of their concave surface and the greater ability for facilitating electrostatic interactions with the highly curved membranes.

“…The specificity in C2 domain targeting arises in the surface loops, which are variable in amino acid sequence and conformation and most often involved in lipid binding. Also of functional consequence is a cationic patch in the concave face of the bsandwich, termed the cationic b-groove, which varies in size and electrostatics among C2 domains (13). Cationic b-grooves have been shown to bind ceramide-1-phosphate (36) as well as PIs including PI(4,5)P 2 (37).…”

The spatial and temporal regulation of lipid molecules in cell membranes is a hallmark of cellular signaling and membrane trafficking events. Lipid-mediated targeting provides for strict control and versatility, because cell membranes harbor a large number of lipid molecules with variation in head group and acyl chain structures. Signaling and trafficking proteins contain a large number of modular domains that exhibit specific lipid binding properties and play a critical role in their localization and function. Nearly 20 years of research including structural, computational, biochemical and biophysical studies have demonstrated how these lipid-binding domains recognize their target lipid and achieve subcellular localization. The integration of this individual lipid-binding domain data in the context of the fulllength proteins, macromolecular signaling complexes, and the lipidome is only beginning to be unraveled and represents a target of therapeutic development. This review brings together recent findings and classical concepts to concisely summarize the lipid-binding domain field while illustrating where the field is headed and how the gaps may be filled in with new technologies.-Stahelin, R.

“…Here, the use of a freemounting system has enabled us to capture an intermediate state of Ca 2+ binding to the C2A domain of rabphilin 3A that suggests a different mechanism of ion interaction. We have also determined the structure of this domain in complex with PI(4,5)P 2 and IP 3 at resolutions of 1.75 and 1.9 Å, respectively, unveiling that the polybasic cluster formed by strands β3-β4 is involved in the interaction with the phosphoinositides. A comparative study demonstrates that the C2A domain is highly specific for PI(4,5)P 2 /PI (3,4,5)P 3 , whereas the C2B domain cannot discriminate among any of the diphosphorylated forms.…”

Proteins containing C2 domains are the sensors for Ca 2+ and PI (4,5)P 2 in a myriad of secretory pathways. Here, the use of a freemounting system has enabled us to capture an intermediate state of Ca 2+ binding to the C2A domain of rabphilin 3A that suggests a different mechanism of ion interaction. We have also determined the structure of this domain in complex with PI(4,5)P 2 and IP 3 at resolutions of 1.75 and 1.9 Å, respectively, unveiling that the polybasic cluster formed by strands β3-β4 is involved in the interaction with the phosphoinositides. A comparative study demonstrates that the C2A domain is highly specific for PI(4,5)P 2 /PI (3,4,5)P 3 , whereas the C2B domain cannot discriminate among any of the diphosphorylated forms. Structural comparisons between C2A domains of rabphilin 3A and synaptotagmin 1 indicated the presence of a key glutamic residue in the polybasic cluster of synaptotagmin 1 that abolishes the interaction with PI (4,5)P 2 . Together, these results provide a structural explanation for the ability of different C2 domains to pull plasma and vesicle membranes close together in a Ca 2+ -dependent manner and reveal how this family of proteins can use subtle structural changes to modulate their sensitivity and specificity to various cellular signals.PIP2 | calcium | vesicle fusion C 2 modules are most commonly found in enzymes involved in lipid modifications and signal transduction and in proteins involved in membrane trafficking. They consist of 130 residues and share a common fold composed of two four-stranded β-sheets arranged in a compact β-sandwich connected by surface loops and helices (1-4). Many of these C2 domains have been demonstrated to function in a Ca 2+ -dependent membrane-binding manner and hence act as cellular Ca 2+ sensors. Calcium ions bind in a cupshaped invagination formed by three loops at one tip of the β-sandwich where the coordination spheres for the Ca 2+ ions are incomplete (5-7). This incomplete coordination sphere can be occupied by neutral and anionic (7-9) phospholipids, enabling the C2 domain to dock at the membrane.Previous work in our laboratory has shed light on the 3D structure of the C2 domain of PKCα in complex with both PS and PI(4,5)P 2 simultaneously (10). This revealed an additional lipidbinding site located in the polybasic region formed by β3-β4 strands that preferentially binds to PI(4,5)P 2 (11-15). This site is also conserved in a wide variety of C2 domains of topology I, for example synaptotagmins, rabphilin 3A, DOC2, and PI3KC2α (10,(16)(17)(18)(19). Given the importance of PI(4,5)P 2 for bringing the vesicle and plasma membranes together before exocytosis to ensure rapid and efficient fusion upon calcium influx (20-23), it is crucial to understand the molecular mechanisms beneath this event.Many studies have reported different and contradictory results about the membrane binding properties of C2A and C2B domains of synaptotagmin 1 and rabphilin 3A providing an unclear picture about how Ca 2+ and PI(4,5)P 2 combine to orchestrate the vesi...
