摘要: The intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain (CTD) of protein 4.1G is able to specifically bind a 26-residue intrinsically disordered region of NuMA, forming a dynamic fuzzy complex. As one of a few cases of extremely fuzzy interactions between two intrinsically disordered proteins/regions (IDPs/IDRs) without induced folding, the principle of the binding is unknown. Here, we combined experimental and computational methods to explore the detailed mechanism of the interaction between 4.1G-CTD and NuMA. MD simulations suggest that the kinetic hub states in the structure ensemble of 4.1G-CTD are favorable in the fuzzy complex. The feature of these hub states is that the binding 'hot spot' motifs beta A and beta B exhibit beta strand propensities and are well packed to each other. The binding between 4.1G-CTD and NuMA is disrupted at low pH, which changes the intramolecular packing of 4.1G-CTD and weakens the packing between beta A and beta B motifs. Low pH conditions also lead to increased hydrodynamic radius and acceleration of backbone dynamics of 4.1G-CTD. All these results underscore the importance of tertiary structural arrangements and overall compactness of 4.1G-CTD in its binding to NuMA, i.e. the compact disordered state of 4.1G-CTD is crucial for binding. Different from the short linear motifs (SLiMs) that are often found to mediate IDP interactions, 4.1G-CTD functions as an intrinsically disordered domain (IDD), which is a functional and structural unit similar to conventional protein domains. This work sheds light on the molecular recognition mechanism of IDPs/IDRs and expands the conventional structure-function paradigm in protein biochemistry.
