Experimental Characterization of the Interaction between the N-Terminal SH3 Domain of Crkl and C3G
Experimental Characterization of the Interaction between the N-Terminal SH3 Domain of Crkl and C3G
Crkl is a protein involved in the onset of several cancer pathologies that exerts its function only through its protein–protein interaction domains, a SH2 domain and two SH3 domains. SH3 domains are small protein interaction modules that mediate the binding and recognition of proline-rich sequences. One of the main physiological interactors of Crkl is C3G (also known as RAPGEF1), an interaction with key implications in regulating cellular growth and differentiation, cell morphogenesis and adhesion processes. Thus, understanding the interaction between Crkl and C3G is fundamental to gaining information about the molecular determinants of the several cancer pathologies in which these proteins are involved. In this paper, through a combination of fast kinetics at different experimental conditions and site-directed mutagenesis, we characterize the binding reaction between the N-SH3 domain of Crkl and a peptide mimicking a specific portion of C3G. Our results show a clear effect of pH on the stability of the complex, due to the protonation of negatively charged residues in the binding pocket of N-SH3. Our results are discussed under the light of previous work on SH3 domains.
