Annexin A2 is a phospholipid-binding protein that forms a heterotetramer (annexin II-p11 heterotetramer; A2t) with p11 (S100A10). It has been reported that annexin A2 is involved in binding to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P-2) and in inducing membrane microdomain formation. To understand the mechanisms underlying these findings, we determined the membrane binding properties of annexin A2 wild type and mutants both as monomer and as A2t. Our results from surface plasmon resonance analysis showed that A2t and annexin A2 has modest selectivity for PtdIns(4,5)P-2 over other phosphoinositides, which is conferred by conserved basic residues, including Lys(279) and Lys(281), on the convex surface of annexin A2. Fluorescence microscopy measurements using giant unilamellar vesicles showed that A2t of wild type, but not (K279A)(2)-(p11)(2) or (K281A)(2)-(p11)(2), specifically induced the formation of 1-mu m-sized PtdIns(4,5)P-2 clusters, which were stabilized by cholesterol. Collectively, these studies elucidate the structural determinant of the PtdIns(4,5)P-2 selectivity of A2t and suggest that A2t may be involved in the regulation of PtdIns(4,5)P-2 clustering in the cell.
