Interaction of Calmodulin with the cSH2 Domain of the p85 Regulatory Subunit

Abstract

Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium sensor protein that directly interacts with the dual-specificity (lipid and protein) kinase PI3Kα through the SH2 domains of the p85 regulatory subunit. In adenocarcinomas, the CaM interaction removes the autoinhibition of the p110 catalytic subunit of PI3Kα, leading to activation of PI3Kα and promoting cell proliferation, survival, and migration. Here we demonstrate that the cSH2 domain of p85α engages its two CaM-binding motifs in the interaction with the N- and C-lobes of CaM as well as the flexible central linker, and our nuclear magnetic resonance experiments provide structural details. We show that in response to binding CaM, cSH2 exposes its tryptophan residue at the N-terminal region to the solvent. Because of the flexible nature of both CaM and cSH2, multiple binding modes of the interactions are possible. Binding of CaM to the cSH2 domain can help release the inhibition imposed on the p110 subunit, similar to the binding of the phosphorylated motif of RTK, or phosphorylated CaM (pCaM), to the SH2 domains. Amino acid sequence analysis shows that CaM-binding motifs are common in SH2 domains of non-RTKs. We speculate that CaM can also activate these kinases through similar mechanisms.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
