摘要

Protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) possesses a conserved C2 domain (PKCalpha C2 domain) that acts as a Ca(2+)-regulated membrane targeting element. Upon activation by Ca(2+), the PKCalpha C2 domain directs the kinase protein to the plasma membrane, thereby stimulating an array of cellular pathways. At sufficiently high Ca(2+) concentrations, binding of the C2 domain to the target lipid phosphatidylserine (PS) is sufficient to drive membrane association; however, at typical physiological Ca(2+) concentrations, binding to both PS and phosphoinositidyl-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) is required for specific plasma membrane targeting. Recent EPR studies have revealed the membrane docking geometries of the PKCalpha C2 domain docked to (i) PS alone and (ii) both PS and PIP(2) simultaneously. These two EPR docking geometries exhibit significantly different tilt angles relative to the plane of the membrane, presumably induced by the large size of the PIP(2) headgroup. The present study utilizes the two EPR docking geometries as starting points for molecular dynamics simulations that investigate atomic features of the protein-membrane interaction. The simulations yield approximately the same PIP(2)-triggered change in tilt angle observed by EPR. Moreover, the simulations predict a PIP(2):C2 stoichiometry approaching 2:1 at a high PIP(2) mole density. Direct binding measurements titrating the C2 domain with PIP(2) in lipid bilayers yield a 1:1 stoichiometry at moderate mole densities and a saturating 2:1 stoichiometry at high PIP(2) mole densities. Thus, the experiment confirms the target lipid stoichiometry predicted by EPR-guided molecular dynamics simulations. Potential biological implications of the observed docking geometries and PIP(2) stoichiometries are discussed.
