RVxP motif

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RVxP motif is a protein motif involved in localizing proteins into cilia.

Cilia are sensory organelle of cells, whose malfunction can cause diseases such as polycystic kidney disease,[1] nephronophthisis and Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Proteins employed in the cilia are targeted there when they bear specific entry signals, whereas proteins not situated in cilia are removed or prevented from entering the organelles.[2] Entry signals have been found in ciliary/flagellar proteins of the protozoans Leishmania and Trypanosoma.[3]

The RVxP motif was first described for the PKD2 protein[4] and when inserted in the transferrin receptor it can target it to cilia.[5] It probably carries out its signal function through protein interactions[3] although the exact process[6] and where in the cell it takes place are unknown.[7] Three candidate proteins involved in "receiving" this signal are pericentrin at the basal body of cilia, intraflagellar transport proteins such as IFT57[3] and ARF4[8] while the BBSome does not appear to interact with the sequence.[9] The kinesins KIF17 is implicated in transporting the CNGB1 protein which has a RVxP motif into human cilia,[4] as is Rab8a in transporting PKD2.[5] Not all ciliary proteins use a RVxP motif for transport, however;[10] VxPx and Ax(S/A)xQ have also been described as cilium-targeting motifs.[6]

Examples of proteins with RVxP motifs associated with cilia:

  • Mouse Ahi1, the homologue of human AHI1, fails to localize to cilia if its RVxP sequence is mutated.[11]
  • Caenorhabditis elegans Arl13b requires a RVxP motif to localize to cilia,[12] a property shared by human ARL13B[13] but in the latter case a coiled-coil domain is also needed.[14]
  • Human ATP1A4 has a motif similar to RVxP that may play a role in localizing the protein to sperm flagella. This sequence is conserved among species.[15]
  • Human CNGB1 features a C-terminal RVxP motif at amino acids 821-824 which if mutated causes the protein to not reach the cilia; other factors however are also needed.[4] This motif is also found in animal CNGB1 homologues.[16]
  • Human CRMP2 has a RVxP motif but it does not appear to be required for its ciliar trafficking.[17]
  • Human FAM154A has a ciliary localization sequence.[18]
  • Tetrahymena GEF1 has a ciliary localization sequence and mutating it causes the protein to no longer localize to cilia.[19]
  • Human PDGFRA has a RVxP sequence and may localize to cilia thanks to it.[20]
  • Human PKD2 trafficking into cilia has been found in vitro to rely on a N-terminal RVxP motif[21] as PKD2 mutants with alterations in this motif do not appear in cilia.[22] This motif is also found in animal PKD2 homologues[3] but not in Hydra.[23] Mutating this sequence in mice knocked out for PKD1 causes PKD2 to accumulate at the foot of the cilia.[19]

Other proteins associated with cilia for which the occurrence of a RVxP motif has been discussed are PKD1 and PSEN2.[24]
