Structural Basis of ABA-binding by ABA Receptors and of Receptor Binding to Target PP2Cs

The ABA signaling pathway is initiated by the binding of ABA to a receptor, which in turn binds to and inhibits a protein phosphatase 2C [1][2][3]. See ABA Signaling Pathway for a scheme of the pathway, which includes activation of a SNRK2 protein kinase.

ABA receptors are small (150-200 residues) soluble proteins that are found in the cytoplasm and nucleus of plant cells. In the absence of ABA, they are dimers[4][5][6]. Upon binding ABA in a water-filled pocket, a gate loop closes over the pocket and is latched by another loop. This conformational change apparently loosens the bonds between the monomers and shifts the equilibrium between the dimer and free monomers towards free monomers. Also, a binding site for a protein phosphatase 2Cs is formed. The ABA-bound receptor binds to the protein phosphatase and inhibits its activity. The interaction occurs near the active site of the phosphatase and phosphatase residues serve to lock the gate of the receptor. This mechanism has been dubbed “gate-latch-lock”, and is described in recent reviews[7][8][9].

Six members of the PYR/PYL/RCAR family of proteins (PYR1/RCAR11: PYL1/RCAR12, PYL2/RCAR14, PYL3/RCAR13, PYL8/RCAR3, PYL9/RCAR1) have been shown to bind a protein phosphatase 2C in the presence of ABA[1][3][5][10][11]. The names of proteins are from Pyrabactin resistance/Pyrabactin-like or regulatory components of ABA receptor.

The structure of ABA receptors[2][4][10][12][13] places them in the START group (e.g. lipid transport domain of human MLN64, 1em2) of the Bet v1(Betula verrucosa pollen allergen, 1bv1) family of proteins [14]. This helix grip structure consists of a large antiparallel beta sheet flanked by alpha helices. The ABA binding pocket is formed between the sheet and one of the helices, with loops serving as the gate and latch at the entrance of the pocket.

The following scenes examine the structures of receptor monomers and dimers, with and without bound ABA, and of a receptor-protein phosphatase 2C complex. The top row compares the structures of PYL2 in the unliganded, ABA-bound, and ABA plus PP2C(HAB1)-bound states. The bottom row shows dimers of PYR and PYL3. The PYR dimer has one monomer unliganded and the other bound to ABA. PYL3 with bound ABA crystallized in two configurations: cis, with the two monomers head-to-head; and trans, with the two monomers head-to-toe.

3kdh scenes
PYL2 is shown as a monomer. See below for receptor dimers.
The entrance to binding pocket for ABA is regulated by a "latch" shown in orchid and a "gate" shown in blue. Proline 92 is shown in ball and stick. Here the gate and entrance to the binding site are open.
is in a trans peptide bond unlike Pro88 in the empty subunit of Pyr1 dimer (below)

3kdi scenes
ABA (CPK spheres) binds to a water-filled (not shown) pocket of PYL2.
The gate folds over ABA and interacts with the latch.
is in the trans configuration as is Pro88 of the ABA-bound subunit of the Pyr1 dimer (below)

3ujl scenes
Complex between PYL2 (blue) with bound ABA (CPK spheres) and HAB1 (gold), a protein phosphatase 2C. Magnesium ions in the active site of HAB1 are shown as green spheres.
Gate residue proline 92 (blue ball and stick) interacts with typtophan 290 (gold ball and stick and residues in a hydrophobic loop (dark gold ball and stick) of HAB1. The gate also interacts with residues surrounding the phosphatase's active site, which is marked by magnesium ions (small green spheres).
