Abstract:
Pombe Cdc15 homology (PCH) proteins play an important role in a variety of actin-based processes, including clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). The defining feature of the PCH proteins is an evolutionarily conserved EFC/F-BAR domain for membrane association and tubulation. In the present study, we solved the crystal structures of the EFC domains of human FBP17 and CIP4. The structures revealed a gently curved helical-bundle dimer of approximately 220 A in length, which forms filaments through end-to-end interactions in the crystals. The curved EFC dimer fits a tubular membrane with an approximately 600 A diameter. We subsequently proposed a model in which the curved EFC filament drives tubulation. In fact, striation of tubular membranes was observed by phase-contrast cryo-transmission electron microscopy, and mutations that impaired filament formation also impaired membrane tubulation and cell membrane invagination. Furthermore, FBP17 is recruited to clathrin-coated pits in the late stage of CME, indicating its physiological role.

Evidence demonstrating that the participating proteins are unstructured prior to the interaction and their folding is coupled to binding. Representative domain in related structures: F-BAR domain
Evidence level: Direct evidence
Evidence coverage: The full structure participates in mutual synergistic folding.
Complex Evidence:
F-BAR domains form an intimately packed six-helix bundle and bury a large, hydrophobic dimerization interface. They exist as dimers in solution, with no evidence for monomeric forms (PMID:17512409). Other BAR domains (N-BAR) displayed a two-state equilibrium unfolding (PMID:26368922, PMID:34423187).

Surface and contacts features:
Structures from the PDB that contain the same number of proteins, and the proteins from the two structures show a sufficient degree of pairwise similarity, i.e. they belong to the same UniRef90 cluster (the full proteins exhibit at least 90% sequence identity) and convey roughly the same region to their respective interactions (the two regions from the two proteins share a minimum of 70% overlap).
