WIRI proteins are mammalian PROPPIN family members that bind to phosphoinositides and play prominent roles in autophagosome biogenesis. Two phosphoinositide-binding sites were previously described in yeast PROPPIN Hsv2 but remain to be determined in mammalian WIPI proteins. Here, we characterized four human WIPI proteins (WIPI1-4) and solved the structure of WIPI3. WIPI proteins can bind to PI(3)P and PI(3,5)P-2 and adopt a conventional seven-bladed beta-propeller fold. The structure of WIPI3 revealed that WIPI proteins also contain two sites embedded in blades 5 and 6 for recognizing phosphoinositides, resembling that in Hsv2. Structural comparison further demonstrated that the two conserved phosphoinositide-binding sites in PROPPIN proteins are not identical but intrinsically tend to recognize different types of phosphoinositides. This work provides the structural evidence to support the conservation of the two phosphoinositide-binding sites in WIPI proteins and also uncovers the potential phosphoinositide-binding selectivity for each site.
