Structural Mechanism of the Arrestin-3/JNK3 Interaction
2019
Summary Arrestins, in addition to desensitizing GPCR-induced G protein activation, also mediate G protein-independent signaling by interacting with various signaling proteins. Among these, arrestins regulate MAPK signal transduction by scaffolding mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling components such as MAPKKK, MAPKK, and MAPK. In this study, we investigated the binding mode and interfaces between arrestin-3 and JNK3 using hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, 19 F-NMR, and tryptophan-induced Atto 655 fluorescence-quenching techniques. Results suggested that the β1 strand of arrestin-3 is the major and potentially only interaction site with JNK3. The results also suggested that C-lobe regions near the activation loop of JNK3 form the potential binding interface, which is variable depending on the ATP binding status. Because the β1 strand of arrestin-3 is buried by the C-terminal strand in its basal state, C-terminal truncation (i.e., pre-activation) of arrestin-3 facilitates the arrestin-3/JNK3 interaction.
