title: Exploring the interaction between the protein kinase A catalytic subunit and caveolin-1 scaffolding domain with shotgun scanning, oligomer complementation, NMR, and docking.
abstract: The techniques of phage-displayed homolog shotgun scanning, oligomer complementation, NMR secondary structure analysis, and computational docking provide a complementary suite of tools for dissecting protein-protein interactions. Focusing these tools on the interaction between the catalytic sub-unit of protein kinase A (PKAcat) and caveolin-1 scaffolding domain (CSD) reveals the first structural model for the interaction. Homolog shotgun scanning varied each CSD residue as either a wild-type or a homologous amino acid. Wild-type to homolog ratios from 116 different homologous CSD variants identified side-chain functional groups responsible for precise contacts with PKAcat. Structural analysis by NMR assigned an alpha-helical conformation to the central residues 84- 97 of CSD. The extensive mutagenesis data and NMR secondary structure information provided constraints for developing a model for the PKAcat-CSD interaction. Addition of synthetic CSD to phage-displayed CSD resulted in oligomer complementation, or enhanced binding to PKAcat. Together with previous experiments examining the interaction between CSD and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the results suggest a general oligomerization-dependent enhancement of binding between signal transducing enzymes and caveolin-1.
