| Abstract | Protein kinase C isoform alpha (PKCα) is a ubiquitous, conventional PKC enzyme that possesses a conserved C2 domain. Upon activation by cytoplasmic Ca2+ ions, the C2 domain specifically binds to the plasma membrane inner leaflet where it recognizes the target lipids phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). The membrane penetration depth and docking angle of the membrane-associated C2 domain is not well understood. The present study employs EPR site-directed spin labeling and relaxation methods to generate a medium-resolution model of the PKCα C2 domain docked to a membrane of lipid composition similar to the plasma membrane inner leaflet. The approach measures EPR depth parameters for 10 function-retaining spin labels coupled to the C2 domain, and for spin labels coupled to depth calibration molecules. The resulting depth parameters, together with the known structure of the free C2 domain, provide a sufficient number of constraints to define two membrane docking geometries for C2 domain bound to physiological membranes lacking or containing PIP2, respectively. In both the absence and presence of PIP2, the two bound Ca2+ ions of the C2 domain lie near the anionic phosphate plane in the headgroup region, consistent with the known ability of the Ca2+ and membrane-binding loops (CMBLs) to bind the headgroup of the PS target lipid. In the absence of PIP2, the polybasic lipid binding site on the β3-β4 hairpin is occupied with PS, but in the presence of PIP2 this larger, higher affinity target lipid competitively displaces PS and causes the long axis of the domain to tilt 40 ± 10° toward the bilayer normal. The ability of the β3-β4 hairpin site to bind PS as well as PIP2 extends the lifetime of the membrane-docked state and is predicted to enhance the kinase turnover number of PKCα during a single membrane docking event. In principle, PIP2-induced tilting of the C2 domain could modulate the activity of membrane-docked PKCα as it diffuses between membrane regions with different local PS and PIP2 concentrations. Finally, the results demonstrate that EPR relaxation methods are sufficiently sensitive to detect signaling-induced changes in the membrane docking geometries of peripheral membrane proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
