PICK1 is a multi-domain scaffolding protein that is uniquely comprised of both a PDZ domain and a BAR domain. While previous experiments have shown that the PDZ domain and the linker positively regulate the BAR domain and the C-terminus negatively regulates the BAR domain, the details of internal regulation mechanisms are unknown. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been proven to be a useful tool in revealing the intramolecular interactions at atomic-level resolution. PICK1 performs its biological functions in a dimeric form which is extremely computationally demanding to simulate with an all-atom force field. Here, we use coarse-grained MD simulations to expose the key residues and driving forces in the internal regulations of PICK1. While the PDZ and BAR domains do not form a stable complex, our simulations show the PDZ domain preferentially interacting with the concave surface of the BAR domain over other BAR domain regions. Furthermore, our simulations show that the short helix in the linker region can form interactions with the PDZ domain. Our results reveal that the surface of the βB-βC loop, βC strand, and αA-βD loop of the PDZ domain can form a group of hydrophobic interactions surrounding the linker helix. These interactions are driven by hydrophobic forces. In contrast, our simulations reveal a very dynamic C-terminus that most often resides on the convex surface of the BAR domain rather than the previously suspected concave surface. These interactions are driven by a combination of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.
