Kindlin-2, a member of the Kindlin family of peripheral membrane proteins, is important for integrin activation and stabilization of epidermal growth factor receptor. It associates with the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane via dedicated phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding domains located in the N-terminal F0 and Pleckstrin Homology domains. These domains have binding affinity for phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and, to a greater degree, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. The biological significance of the differential binding of these phosphatidylinositol phosphates to Kindlin-2 and the mechanism by which they activate Kindlin-2 are not well understood. Recently, ssNMR identified the predominant protonation states of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate near physiological pH in the presence of anionic lipids. Here, we perform atomistic simulation of the bound state of the Pleckstrin Homology and F0 domains of Kindlin-2 at membranes containing phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate/phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate with differing protonation states. This computational approach demonstrates that these two phosphatidylinositol phosphates differently modulate Kindlin-2 subdomain binding in a protonation-state-dependent manner. We speculate these variations in binding mode provide a mechanism for intracellular pH and Ca2+influx to control the membrane binding behavior and activity of Kindlin-2.
