Lipids bound lysosomal integral membrane protein 2
Structural highlights
DiseaseSCRB2_HUMAN Unverricht-Lundborg disease;Gaucher disease type 1;Action myoclonus - renal failure syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Genetic variants in SCARB2 can act as modifier of the phenotypic expression and severity of Gaucher disease. FunctionSCRB2_HUMAN Acts as a lysosomal receptor for glucosylceramidase (GBA) targeting.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedLysosomal integral membrane protein-2 (LIMP-2/SCARB2) contributes to endosomal and lysosomal function. LIMP-2 deficiency is associated with neurological abnormalities and kidney failure and, as an acid glucocerebrosidase receptor, impacts Gaucher and Parkinson's diseases. Here we report a crystal structure of a LIMP-2 luminal domain dimer with bound cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine. Binding of these lipids alters LIMP-2 from functioning as a glucocerebrosidase-binding monomer toward a dimeric state that preferentially binds anionic phosphatidylserine over neutral phosphatidylcholine. In cellular uptake experiments, LIMP-2 facilitates transport of phospholipids into murine fibroblasts, with a strong substrate preference for phosphatidylserine. Taken together, these biophysical and cellular studies define the structural basis and functional importance of a form of LIMP-2 for lipid trafficking. We propose a model whereby switching between monomeric and dimeric forms allows LIMP-2 to engage distinct binding partners, a mechanism that may be shared by SR-BI and CD36, scavenger receptor proteins highly homologous to LIMP-2.
