Universität Münster Description Abstract Cryo-EM structural analysis reveals that ClC-7 binds to PI(5)P (phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate), which locks the protein in its inactivated state. By contrast, PI(3,5)P2 (phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate) did not bind and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations demonstrate indicate a preference of ClC-7 binding to PI(5)P over PI(3,5)P2. The data suggest that regulation of lysosomal ion homeostasis by ClC-7 is controlled by PI(5)P, revealing a molecular function of this enigmatic endo-lysosomal PIP. Table of contents (English) For each of the four PI(3)P, PI(5)P, PI(2,5)P2, and PI(3,5)P2 systems the folders contain: The system-specific .gro and .pdb coordinates files used as starting points for the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations The system-specific .psf topology file used as starting points for the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations The .xtc trajectory file of the production repliccates ( three replicates in total). For each trajectory the periodic boundar conditions (PBC) have been removed and the system has been centered on the ClC-7 protein. The step7_production.mdp contains the gromacs setting used for each of the 12 MD production steps.
