A small number of proteins form a conserved pathway of centriole duplication. In humans and flies, the binding of PLK4/Sak to STIL/Ana2 initiates daughter centriole assembly. In humans, this interaction is mediated by an interaction between the Polo-Box-3 (PB3) domain of PLK4 and the coiled-coil domain of STIL (HsCCD). We showed previously that the Ana2 coiled-coil domain (DmCCD) is essential for centriole assembly, but it forms a tight parallel tetramer that likely precludes an interaction with PB3. Here, we show that the isolated HsCCD and HsPB3 domains form a mixture of homo-multimers , but these readily dissociate when mixed to form the previously described 1:1 HsCCD:HsPB3 complex. In contrast, although PB3 (DmPB3) adopts a canonical polo-box fold, it does not detectably interact with DmCCD Thus, surprisingly, a key centriole assembly interaction interface appears to differ between humans and flies.
少数蛋白质构成了一个保守的中心粒复制途径。在人类和果蝇中,PLK4/Sak与STIL/Ana2的结合启动了子中心粒的组装。在人类中,这种相互作用是由PLK4的Polo-Box-3(PB3)结构域与STIL的卷曲螺旋结构域(HsCCD)之间的相互作用介导的。我们之前表明,Ana2卷曲螺旋结构域(DmCCD)对中心粒组装至关重要,但它形成了一个紧密的平行四聚体,这可能排除了与PB3的相互作用。在这里,我们表明,分离的HsCCD和HsPB3结构域形成了同多聚体的混合物,但当混合形成先前描述的1:1 HsCCD:HsPB3复合物时,它们很容易解离。相比之下,尽管PB3(DmPB3)采用了典型的polo-box折叠,但它与DmCCD没有可检测到的相互作用。因此,令人惊讶的是,人类和果蝇之间一个关键的中心粒组装相互作用界面似乎有所不同。
