Structure of Ca2+-bound S100A4 and its interaction with peptides derived from nonmuscle myosin-IIA.

Abstract:
S100A4, also known as mts1, is a member of the S100 family of Ca2+-binding proteins that is directly involved in tumor invasion and metastasis via interactions with specific protein targets, including nonmuscle myosin-IIA (MIIA). Human S100A4 binds two Ca2+ ions with the typical EF-hand exhibiting an affinity that is nearly 1 order of magnitude tighter than that of the pseudo-EF-hand. To examine how Ca2+ modifies the overall organization and structure of the protein, we determined the 1.7 A crystal structure of the human Ca2+-S100A4. Ca2+ binding induces a large reorientation of helix 3 in the typical EF-hand. This reorganization exposes a hydrophobic cleft that is comprised of residues from the hinge region,helix 3, and helix 4, which afford specific target recognition and binding. The Ca2+-dependent conformational change is required for S100A4 to bind peptide sequences derived from the C-terminal portion of the MIIA rod with submicromolar affinity. In addition, the level of binding of Ca2+ to both EF-hands increases by 1 order of magnitude in the presence of MIIA. NMR spectroscopy studies demonstrate that following titration with a MIIA peptide, the largest chemical shift perturbations and exchange broadening effects occur for residues in the hydrophobic pocket of Ca2+-S100A4. Most of these residues are not exposed in apo-S100A4 and explain the Ca2+ dependence of formation of theS100A4-MIIA complex. These studies provide the foundation for understanding S100A4 target recognition and may support the development of reagents that interfere with S100A4 function.

Evidence coverage: The full structure participates in mutual synergistic folding.
Complex Evidence:
GuHCl-induced denaturation of the S100B protein dimer showed that it follows a two-state unfolding/refolding process (PMID:11888280). Other S100 proteins also showed two-state unfolding, no folded monomers were observed (PMID:18346834, PMID:18706914). The dimer has a globular and compact structure with the four helices in each subunit aligning to form a unicornate-type four-helix bundle (PMID:11790100). The hydrophobic core extends through the dimer interface.
