CRAL-TRIO domain

CRAL-TRIO domain is a protein structural domain that binds small lipophilic molecules.[2] This domain is named after cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) and TRIO guanine exchange factor.

CRALB protein carries 11-cis-retinol or 11-cis-retinaldehyde. It modulates interaction of retinoids with visual cycle enzymes. TRIO is involved in coordinating actin remodeling, which is necessary for cell migration and growth.

Other members of the family are alpha-tocopherol transfer protein and phosphatidylinositol-transfer protein (Sec14). They transport their substrates (alpha-tocopherol and phosphatidylinositol or phosphatidylcholine, respectively) between different intracellular membranes. Family also include a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that may function as an effector of RAC1 small G-protein.

The N-terminal domain of yeast ECM25 protein has been identified as containing a lipid binding CRAL-TRIO domain.[3]

Structure

The Sec14 protein was the first CRAL-TRIO domain for which the structure was determined.[4] The structure contains several alpha helices as well as a beta sheet composed of 6 strands. Strands 2,3,4 and 5 form a parallel beta sheet with strands 1 and 6 being anti-parallel. The structure also identified a hydrophobic binding pocket for lipid binding.

gollark: How was this computed‽
gollark: But you have to deal with whatever insanity browsers and HTTP proxies and metaphorical bees will send.
gollark: And the case-insensitivity thing is probably out there making all webservers mildly less performant.
gollark: The grammar is !!FUN!! and apparently allows whitespace between all tokens ever.
gollark: HTTP really should just have been based on some JSON-type thing for its headers, but to be fair JSON did not exist at the time.
