malfunction | on mutating either of the four crucial hydrophobic residues (Leu7, Ile10, Leu14, and Leu17) to charged Asp or substituting the conserved Asp13 to Ala in MEKK3, the binding between CCM2ct and MEKK3nt is completely abolished. Mutation of the nonconserved Glu3 of MEKK3 to Ala induced only 2fold reduction of the binding affinity between CCM2ct and MEKK3nt | Homo sapiens |
additional information | structural insights into the molecular recognition between cerebral cavernous malformation 2 (CCM2) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 3 (MEKK3): CCM2 functions as an adaptor protein that mediates the activation of MEKK3 signaling in response to osmotic stress, or negatively regulates MEKK3 signaling, which is important for normal cardiovascular development. CCM2ct assembles into a global six-helix domain by intramolecular interaction, CCM2ct intramolecular interaction is weak. The N-terminal amphiphilic helix of MEKK3 (MEKK3-n_helix) as the essential structural element for CCM2ct binding, CCM2ct directly interacts with MEKK3 N-terminal helix. The binding of CCM2ct to MEKK3-n_helix resembles CCM2ct intramolecular interaction, surface plasmon resonance, analysis, overview. Determinative roles of MEKK3 residues Leu7, Ile10, Leu14, and Leu17 and auxiliary role for residue Glu3 in CCM2ct-MEKK3 recognition by mutational analysis. The resulting CCM2-MEKK3 interaction builds a molecular platform for regulating MEKK3 signaling | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | cerebral cavernous malformation 2 (CCM2) functions as an adaptor protein implicated in various biological processes. By interacting with the mitogen-activated protein kinase MEKK3, CCM2 either mediates the activation of MEKK3 signaling in response to osmotic stress or negatively regulates MEKK3 signaling, which is important for normal cardiovascular development | Homo sapiens |
