General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function PimA preferentially binds to negatively charged phosphatidyl-myo-inositol substrate and non-substrate membrane model systems (small unilamellar vesicle) through its N-terminal domain, inducing an important structural reorganization of anionic phospholipids. This interaction is mainly mediated by amphipathic helix alpha2, which undergoes a substantial conformational change and localizes in the vicinity of the negatively charged lipid headgroups and the very first carbon atoms of the acyl chains, at the PimA-phospholipid interface. A flexible region within the N-terminal domain undergoes beta-strand-to-alpha-helix and alpha-helix-to-beta-strand transitions during catalysis and interacts with anionic phospholipids, but the effect is markedly less pronounced to that observed for the amphipathic helix alpha2 Mycolicibacterium smegmatis
