K-Ras4B 属于 p21 Ras GTPases 家族,在细胞增殖、存活和运动中发挥重要作用。 p21 Ras 蛋白(例如 K-Ras4B、K-Ras4A、H-Ras 和 N-Ras)具有 85% 的序列同源性,并激活非常相似的信号通路。只有 C 末端高变区有显着差异。越来越多的文献表明,每种 Ras 亚型在正常生理过程和发病机制中都具有独特的功能。 Ras 生物学领域的核心问题之一是这些非常相似的蛋白质如何在调节信号转导途径的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用中实现如此显着的特异性。在这里,我们探索 K-Ras4B 与钙调蛋白的特异性结合。使用 NMR 技术和等温滴定量热法,我们证明 K-Ras 的高变区在很大程度上有助于与钙调蛋白的相互作用,而 K-Ras4B 的催化结构域提供了一种通过核苷酸结合控制相互作用的方法。 K-Ras4B 的高变区以微摩尔亲和力特异性结合 Ca2+ 负载钙调蛋白的 C 端结构域,而 K-Ras4B 负载 GTP-γ-S 的催化结构域可能与钙调蛋白的 N 端结构域相互作用。
K-Ras4B belongs to the family of p21 Ras GTPases, which play an important role in cell proliferation, survival and motility. The p21 Ras proteins such as K-Ras4B, K-Ras4A, H-Ras, and N-Ras, share 85% sequence homology and activate very similar signaling pathways. Only the C-terminal hypervariable regions differ significantly. A growing body of literature demonstrates that each Ras isoform possesses unique functions in normal physiological processes as well as in pathogenesis. One of the central questions in the field of Ras biology is how these very similar proteins achieve such remarkable specificity in protein-protein interactions that regulate signal transduction pathways. Here we explore specific binding of K-Ras4B to calmodulin. Using NMR techniques and isothermal titration calorimetry we demonstrate that the hypervariable region of K-Ras contributes in a major way to the interaction with calmodulin while the catalytic domain of K-Ras4B provides a way to control the interaction by nucleotide binding. The hypervariable region of K-Ras4B binds specifically to the C-terminal domain of Ca2+-loaded calmodulin with micromolar affinity, while the GTP-γ-S loaded catalytic domain of K-Ras4B may interact with the N-terminal domain of calmodulin.
