Abstract

The dynamin-related Eps15-homology domain-containing protein 2 (EHD2) is a membrane-remodeling ATPase that regulates the dynamics of caveolae. Here, we established an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) approach to characterize structural features of membrane-bound EHD2. We show that residues at the tip of the helical domain can insert into the membrane and may create membrane curvature by a wedging mechanism. Using EPR and X-ray crystallography, we found that the N terminus is folded into a hydrophobic pocket of the GTPase domain in solution and can be released into the membrane. Cryoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the N terminus is not essential for oligomerization of EHD2 into a membrane-anchored scaffold. Instead, we found a function of the N terminus in regulating targeting and stable association of EHD2 to caveolae. Our data uncover an unexpected, membrane-induced regulatory switch in EHD2 and demonstrate the versatility of EPR to study structure and function of dynamin superfamily proteins.
