Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Voltage-sensing phosphatase, VSP, has an activity to dephosphorylate several kinds of phosphoinositides in a voltage-dependent manner. Our recent study has shown that VSP mainly dephosphoryltaes PI(3,4,5)P3 in low membrane voltages but dephosphorylates PI(3,4)P2 in high voltages. However, little is know about the molecular mechanisms how the membrane voltage regulates the substrate specificity of VSP. In this work, I introduced a fluorescent label using the method of the genetic incorporation of a fluorescent unnatural amino acid to reveal the conformational change of the catalytic region which is responsible for the dephosphorylation activity. Results showed that Cα2 loop located in the catalytic region plays key roles in the substrate specificity in VSP.
