Abstract

Ca2+ channel beta subunits regulate cell-surface expression and gating of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel alpha1 subunits. Based on primary sequence comparisons, beta subunits are predicted to be modular structures composed of five domains (A-E) that are related to the large family of membrane-associated guanylate kinase proteins. The crystal structure of the beta subunit core B-D domains has been reported recently; however, little is known about the structures of the A and E domains. The N-terminal A domain differs among the four subtypes of Ca2+ channel beta subunits (beta1-beta4) primarily as the result of two duplications of an ancestral gene containing multiple alternatively spliced exons. At least nine A domain sequences can be generated by alternative splicing. In this report, we focus on one A domain sequence, the highly conserved beta4a A domain. We solved its three-dimensional structure and show that it is expressed in punctate structures throughout the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex. We also demonstrate that it does not participate directly in Cav2.1 Ca2+ channel gating but serves as a binding site in protein-protein interactions with synaptotagmin I and the LC2 domain of microtubule-associated protein 1A.
