Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) plays a key role in protein synthesis and regulation. Cdc123 facilitates the assembly of eIF2 and binds to its γ subunit. Mutations related to MEHMO syndrome affect Cdc123-mediated eIF2 assembly. The crystallographic structure of Cdc123 bound to the γ domain of eIF2 was determined.
Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) plays a key role in protein synthesis and in its regulation. The assembly of this heterotrimeric factor is facilitated by Cdc123, a member of the ATP grasp family that binds the & gamma; subunit of eIF2. Notably, some mutations related to MEHMO syndrome, an X-linked intellectual disability, affect Cdc123mediated eIF2 assembly. The mechanism of action of Cdc123 is unclear and structural information for the human protein is awaited. Here, the crystallographic structure of human Cdc123 (Hs-Cdc123) bound to domain 3 of human eIF2 & gamma; (Hs-eIF2 & gamma;D3) was determined. The structure shows that the domain 3 of eIF2 & gamma; is bound to domain 1 of Cdc123. In addition, the long C-terminal region of Hs-Cdc123 provides a link between the ATP and Hs-eIF2 & gamma;D3 binding sites. A thermal shift assay shows that ATP is tightly bound to Cdc123 whereas the affinity of ADP is much smaller. Yeast cell viability experiments, western blot analysis and two-hybrid assays show that ATP is important for the function of Hs-Cdc123 in eIF2 assembly. These data and recent findings allow us to propose a refined model to explain the mechanism of action of Cdc123 in eIF2 assembly.
