| Research Abstract |
Phospholipase C (PLC) binds to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP_2) in the cell membrane through the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and hydrolyzes PIP_2 to produce two second messengers, diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP_3), by the catalytic domain. In this study, lipid binding mechanism of human PLC-δ1 PH domain (hPH) was explored. First, the contributions of the α2-helix to the IP_3 binding activity and thermal stability of the hPH domain were investigated by developed approach based on Native-PAGE methods. Then, linked local structural changes of hPH induced by the IP_3 binding were detected by solution NMR. It was found that intra molecular interaction network in hPH controls its ligand binding. Furthermore, through the analyses of solid state NMR, it was also found that hPH induces inhomogeneous structure after binding to a surface of PIP_2 embedded lipid bilayers and implied that hPH is finally inserted to lipid bilayers irreversibly.
