Two monoclinic (P2(1)) crystal forms of human serum amyloid P component (SAP) in complex with the 4,6-pyruvate acetal of beta-D-galactose (MObetaDG) were prepared. Structure analysis by molecular replacement and refinement at 2.2A resolution revealed that crystal form 1 (a=95.76A, b=70.53A, c=103.41A, beta=96.80 degrees) contained a pentamer in the asymmetric unit with a structure very similar to that of the published search model. The mode of ligand co-ordination was also similar except that four of the five subunits showed bound ligand with an additional H-bond between O1 of the galactose and the side-chain of Lys79. One sub-unit showed no bound ligand and a vacant calcium site close to a crystal contact. The 2.6A resolution structure of crystal form 2 (a=118.60A, b=109.10A, c=120.80A and beta=95.16 degrees ) showed ten sub-units in the asymmetric unit, all with two bound calcium ions and ligand. The most extensive protein-protein interactions between pentamers describe an AB face-to-face interaction involving 15 ion pairs that sandwiches five molecules of bound MObetaDG at the interface. 相似文献

The seeds of jack fruit (Artocarpus integrifolia) contain two tetrameric lectins, jacalin and artocarpin. Jacalin was the first lectin found to exhibit the beta-prism I fold, which is characteristic of the Moraceae plant lectin family. Jacalin contains two polypeptide chains produced by a post-translational proteolysis which has been shown to be crucial for generating its specificity for galactose. Artocarpin is a single chain protein with considerable sequence similarity with jacalin. It, however, exhibits many properties different from those of jacalin. In particular, it is specific to mannose. The structures of two crystal forms, form I and form II, of the native lectin have been determined at 2.4 and 2.5 A resolution, respectively. The structure of the lectin complexed with methyl-alpha-mannose, has also been determined at 2.9 A resolution. The structure is similar to jacalin, although differences exist in details. The crystal structures and detailed modelling studies indicate that the following differences between the carbohydrate binding sites of artocarpin and jacalin are responsible for the difference in the specificities of the two lectins. Firstly, artocarpin does not contain, unlike jacalin, an N terminus generated by post-translational proteolysis. Secondly, there is no aromatic residue in the binding site of artocarpin whereas there are four in that of jacalin. A comparison with similar lectins of known structures or sequences, suggests that, in general, stacking interactions with aromatic residues are important for the binding of galactose while such interactions are usually absent in the carbohydrate binding sites of mannose-specific lectins with the beta-prism I fold. 相似文献

Codakine is an abundant 14-kDa mannose-binding C-type lectin isolated from the gills of the sea bivalve Codakia orbicularis. Binding studies using inhibition of hemagglutination indicated specificity for mannose and fucose monosaccharides. Further experiments using a glycan array demonstrated, however, a very fine specificity for N-linked biantennary complex-type glycans. An unusually high affinity was measured by titration microcalorimetry performed with a biantennary Asn-linked nonasaccharide. The crystal structure of the native lectin at 1.3A resolution revealed a new type of disulfide-bridged homodimer. Each monomer displays three intramolecular disulfide bridges and contains only one calcium ion located in the canonical binding site that is occupied by a glycerol molecule. The structure of the complex between Asn-linked nonasaccharide and codakine has been solved at 1.7A resolution. All residues could be located in the electron density map, except for the capping beta1-4-linked galactosides. The alpha1-6-linked mannose binds to calcium by coordinating the O3 and O4 hydroxyl groups. The GlcNAc moiety of the alpha1,6 arm engages in several hydrogen bonds with the protein, whereas the GlcNAc on the other antenna is stacked against Trp(108), forming an extended binding site. This is the first structural report for a bivalve lectin. 相似文献

The crystal structures of alpha-galactosidase from the mesophilic fungus Trichoderma reesei and its complex with the competitive inhibitor, beta-d-galactose, have been determined at 1.54 A and 2.0 A resolution, respectively. The alpha-galactosidase structure was solved by the quick cryo-soaking method using a single Cs derivative. The refined crystallographic model of the alpha-galactosidase consists of two domains, an N-terminal catalytic domain of the (beta/alpha)8 barrel topology and a C-terminal domain which is formed by an antiparallel beta-structure. The protein contains four N-glycosylation sites located in the catalytic domain. Some of the oligosaccharides were found to participate in inter-domain contacts. The galactose molecule binds to the active site pocket located in the center of the barrel of the catalytic domain. Analysis of the alpha-galactosidase- galactose complex reveals the residues of the active site and offers a structural basis for identification of the putative mechanism of the enzymatic reaction. The structure of the alpha-galactosidase closely resembles those of the glycoside hydrolase family 27. The conservation of two catalytic Asp residues, identified for this family, is consistent with a double-displacement reaction mechanism for the alpha-galactosidase. Modeling of possible substrates into the active site reveals specific hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions that could explain peculiarities of the enzyme kinetics. 相似文献

The enhancement of calmodulin's (CaM) calcium binding activity by an enzyme or a recognition site peptide and its diminution by key point mutations at the protein recognition interface (e.g., E84K-CaM), which is more than 20 A away from the nearest calcium ligation structure, can be described by an expanded version of the Adair-Klotz equation for multiligand binding. The expanded equation can accurately describe the calcium binding events and their variable linkage to protein recognition events can be extended to other CaM-regulated enzymes and can potentially be applied to a diverse array of ligand binding systems with allosteric regulation of ligand binding, whether by other ligands or protein interaction. The 1.9 A resolution X-ray crystallographic structure of the complex between E84K-CaM and RS20 peptide, the CaM recognition site peptide from vertebrate smooth muscle and nonmuscle forms of myosin light chain kinase, provides insight into the structural basis of the functional communication between CaM's calcium ligation structures and protein recognition surfaces. The structure reveals that the complex adapts to the effect of the functional mutation by discrete adjustments in the helix that contains E84. This helix is on the amino-terminal side of the helix-loop-helix structural motif that is the first to be occupied in CaM's calcium binding mechanism. The results reported here are consistent with a sequential and cooperative model of CaM's calcium binding activity in which the two globular and flexible central helix domains are functionally linked, and provide insight into how CaM's calcium binding activity and peptide recognition properties are functionally coupled. 相似文献

The crystal structure of the Ca(2+)-loaded coelenterazine-binding protein from Renilla muelleri in its apo-state has been determined at resolution 1.8 A. Although calcium binding hardly affects the compact scaffold and overall fold of the structure before calcium addition, there are easily discerned shifts in the residues that were interacting with the coelenterazine and a repositioning of helices, to expose a cavity to the external solvent. Altogether these changes offer a straightforward explanation for how following the addition of Ca(2+), the coelenterazine could escape and become available for bioluminescence on Renilla luciferase. A docking computation supports the possibility of a luciferase-binding protein complex. 相似文献

Bark of elderberry (Sambucus nigra) contains a galactose (Gal)/N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-specific lectin (SNA-II) corresponding to slightly truncated B-chains of a genuine Type-II ribosome-inactivating protein (Type-II RIPs, SNA-V), found in the same species. The three-dimensional X-ray structure of SNA-II has been determined in two distinct crystal forms, hexagonal and tetragonal, at 1.90 A and 1.35 A, respectively. In both crystal forms, the SNA-II molecule folds into two linked beta-trefoil domains, with an overall conformation similar to that of the B-chains of ricin and other Type-II RIPs. Glycosylation is observed at four sites along the polypeptide chain, accounting for 14 saccharide units. The high-resolution structures of SNA-II in complex with Gal and five Gal-related saccharides (GalNAc, lactose, alpha1-methylgalactose, fucose, and the carcinoma-specific Tn antigen) were determined at 1.55 A resolution or better. Binding is observed in two saccharide-binding sites for most of the sugars: a conserved aspartate residue interacts simultaneously with the O3 and O4 atoms of saccharides. In one of the binding sites, additional interactions with the protein involve the O6 atom. Analytical gel filtration, small angle X-ray scattering studies and crystal packing analysis indicate that, although some oligomeric species are present, the monomeric species predominate in solution. 相似文献

Beta-galactosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of beta(1-3) and beta(1-4) galactosyl bonds in oligosaccharides as well as the inverse reaction of enzymatic condensation and transglycosylation. Here we report the crystallographic structures of Penicillium sp. beta-galactosidase and its complex with galactose solved by the SIRAS quick cryo-soaking technique at 1.90 A and 2.10 A resolution, respectively. The amino acid sequence of this 120 kDa protein was first assigned putatively on the basis of inspection of the experimental electron density maps and then determined by nucleotide sequence analysis. Primary structure alignments reveal that Penicillium sp. beta-galactosidase belongs to family 35 of glycosyl hydrolases (GHF-35). This model is the first 3D structure for a member of GHF-35. Five distinct domains which comprise the structure are assembled in a way previously unobserved for beta-galactosidases. Superposition of this complex with other beta-galactosidase complexes from several hydrolase families allowed the identification of residue Glu200 as the proton donor and residue Glu299 as the nucleophile involved in catalysis. Penicillium sp. beta-galactosidase is a glycoprotein containing seven N-linked oligosaccharide chains and is the only structure of a glycosylated beta-galactosidase described to date. 相似文献

The x-ray crystallographic structure of the heterodimeric plant toxin ricin has been determined at 2.8-A resolution. The A chain enzyme is a globular protein with extensive secondary structure and a reasonably prominent cleft assumed to be the active site. The B chain lectin folds into two topologically similar domains, each binding lactose in a shallow cleft. In each site a glutamine residue forms a hydrogen bond to the OH-4 of galactose, accounting for the epimerimic specificity of binding. The interface between the A and B chains shows some hydrophobic contacts in which proline and phenylalanine side chains play a prominent role. 相似文献

Antimycin A (antimycin), one of the first known and most potent inhibitors of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, binds to the quinone reduction site of the cytochrome bc1 complex. Structure-activity relationship studies have shown that the N-formylamino-salicyl-amide group is responsible for most of the binding specificity, and suggested that a low pKa for the phenolic OH group and an intramolecular H-bond between that OH and the carbonyl O of the salicylamide linkage are important. Two previous X-ray structures of antimycin bound to vertebrate bc1 complex gave conflicting results. A new structure reported here of the bovine mitochondrial bc1 complex at 2.28 A resolution with antimycin bound, allows us for the first time to reliably describe the binding of antimycin and shows that the intramolecular hydrogen bond described in solution and in the small-molecule structure is replaced by one involving the NH rather than carbonyl O of the amide linkage, with rotation of the amide group relative to the aromatic ring. The phenolic OH and formylamino N form H-bonds with conserved Asp228 of cytochrome b, and the formylamino O H-bonds via a water molecule to Lys227. A strong density, the right size and shape for a diatomic molecule is found between the other side of the dilactone ring and the alphaA helix. 相似文献

Epitope mapping of sialyl Lewis(x) bound to E-selectin using saturation transfer difference NMR experiments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A complex between sialyl Lewisx (alpha-D-Neu5Ac-[2-->3]- beta-D-Gal-[1-->4]-[alpha-L-Fuc-(1-->3)]-beta-D-GlcNAc-O-[CH2]8 COOMe) and E-selectin was studied using saturation transfer difference (STD) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. These experiments allow the identification of the binding epitope of a ligand at atomic resolution. A semiquantitative analysis of STD total correlation spectroscopy spectra provides clear evidence that the galactose residue receives the largest saturation transfer. The protons H4 and H6 of the galactose residue are in especially close contact to the amino acids of the E-selectin binding pocket. The fucose residue also receives a significant saturation transfer. The GlcNAc and Neu5Ac residues, with the exception of H3 and H3' of Neu5Ac, were found to interact weakly with the protein surface. These findings are in excellent agreement with a recently published X-ray structure and with the earlier findings from syntheses and activity assays. To further characterize the binding pocket of E-selectin, an inhibitory peptide, Ac-TWDQLWDLMK-CONH2, was synthesized and the binding to E-selectin studied utilizing transfer nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (trNOESY) experiments. Finally, competitive trNOESY experiments were performed, showing that the synthetic peptide is a competitive inhibitor of sialyl Lewisx. 相似文献

The x-ray structure of the periplasmic galactose binding protein from Salmonella typhimurium at 3.0-A resolution 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The x-ray structure of the periplasmic galactose binding protein from Salmonella typhimurium, the specific receptor for taxis toward, and high-affinity transport of, galactose has been solved at 3.0-A resolution using multiple isomorphous replacement. The path of the polypeptide chain has been traced, and a model structure consisting of 292 amino acids has been fit to the electron density map. The overall shape of the molecule is that of a prolate ellipsoid, with dimensions 35 X 35 X 65 A. The protein consists of two similar domains of roughly equal size, related by an axis of pseudosymmetry, and separated by a deep cleft about 8 A wide. Each domain has a core of parallel beta sheet surrounded by five alpha helices, built by alternating strands of sheet and helix in a repeating pattern. Approximately 36% of the residues are involved in alpha helices, and 27% in beta sheet. The tertiary structure has been compared to that of the Escherichia coli arabinose binding protein (Gilliland, G.L., and Quiocho, F. A. (1981) J. Mol. Biol. 146, 341-362), a periplasmic receptor which is involved in transport, but not in chemotaxis. The overall folding of these two molecules is very similar, with the exception of two areas on the surface of the molecule on the long sides of the prolate ellipsoid. The observed variations are adequate to explain the differences in interaction of L-arabinose binding protein and galactose binding protein with the membrane proteins for transport and chemotaxis. 相似文献

The galactose‐specific lectin LecA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a target for the development of new anti‐infectious compounds. Sugar based molecules with anti‐adhesive properties present great potential in the fight against bacterial infection and biofilm formation. LecA is specific for oligosaccharides with terminal α‐galactoside residues and displays strong affinity for melibiose (αGal1‐6Glc) with a Kd of 38.8 µM. The crystal structure of LecA/melibiose complex shows classical calcium‐bridged binding of αGal in the primary binding site but also revealed a secondary sugar binding site with glucose bound. This sugar binding site is in close proximity to the galactose binding one, is independent of calcium and mainly involves interactions with a symmetry‐related protein. This discovery would help to the design of new potent inhibitors targeting both binding sites. Proteins 2014; 82:1060–1065. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The X-ray structure analysis of a cross-linked crystal of concanavalin A soaked with the tripeptide molecule as the probe molecule showed electron density corresponding to full occupation in the binding pocket. The site lies on the surface of concanavalin A and is surrounded by three symmetry-related molecules. The crystal structure of the tripeptide complex was refined at 2.4-Å resolution to an R-factor of 17.5%, (Rfree factor of 23.7%), with an RMS deviation in bond distances of 0.01 Å. The model includes all 237 residue of concanavalin A, 1 manganese ion, 1 calcium ion, 161 water molecules, 1 glutaraldehyde molecule, and 1 tripeptide molecule. This X-ray structure analysis also provides an approach to mapping the binding surface of crystalline protein with a probe molecule that is dissolved in a mixture of organic solvent with water or in neat organic solvent but is hardly dissolved in aqueous solution. 相似文献

The crystal structure of a collagen-binding domain (CBD) with an N-terminal domain linker from Clostridium histolyticum class I collagenase was determined at 1.00 A resolution in the absence of calcium (1NQJ) and at 1.65 A resolution in the presence of calcium (1NQD). The mature enzyme is composed of four domains: a metalloprotease domain, a spacing domain and two CBDs. A 12-residue-long linker is found at the N-terminus of each CBD. In the absence of calcium, the CBD reveals a beta-sheet sandwich fold with the linker adopting an alpha-helix. The addition of calcium unwinds the linker and anchors it to the distal side of the sandwich as a new beta-strand. The conformational change of the linker upon calcium binding is confirmed by changes in the Stokes and hydrodynamic radii as measured by size exclusion chromatography and by dynamic light scattering with and without calcium. Furthermore, extensive mutagenesis of conserved surface residues and collagen-binding studies allow us to identify the collagen-binding surface of the protein and propose likely collagen-protein binding models. 相似文献

ATP-binding cassette superfamily of periplasmic metal transporters are known to be vital for maintaining ion homeostasis in several pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. We have determined crystal structure of the high-affinity zinc transporter ZnuA from Escherichia coli at 1.8 A resolution. This structure represents the first native (non-recombinant) protein structure of a periplasmic metal binding protein. ZnuA reveals numerous conformational features, which occur either in Zn(2+) or in Mn(2+) transporters, and presents a unique conformational state. A comprehensive comparison of ZnuA with other periplasmic ligand binding protein structures suggests vital mechanistic differences between bound and release states of metal transporters. The key new attributes in ZnuA include a C-domain disulfide bond, an extra alpha-helix proximal to the highly charged metal chelating mobile loop region, alternate conformations of secondary shell stabilizing residues at the metal binding site, and domain movements potentially controlled by salt bridges. Based on in-depth structural analyses of five metal binding transporters, we present here a mechanistic model termed as "partial domain slippage" for binding and release of Zn(2+). 相似文献

Jacalin, a tetrameric lectin, is one of the two lectins present in jackfruit (Artocarpus integrifolia) seeds. Its crystal structure revealed, for the first time, the occurrence of the beta-prism I fold in lectins. The structure led to the elucidation of the crucial role of a new N terminus generated by post-translational proteolysis for the lectin's specificity for galactose. Subsequent X-ray studies on other carbohydrate complexes showed that the extended binding site of jacalin consisted of, in addition to the primary binding site, a hydrophobic secondary site A composed of aromatic residues and a secondary site B involved mainly in water-bridges. A recent investigation involving surface plasmon resonance and the X-ray analysis of a methyl-alpha-mannose complex, had led to a suggestion of promiscuity in the lectin's sugar specificity. To explore this suggestion further, detailed isothermal titration calorimetric studies on the interaction of galactose (Gal), mannose (Man), glucose (Glc), Me-alpha-Gal, Me-alpha-Man, Me-alpha-Glc and other mono- and oligosaccharides of biological relevance and crystallographic studies on the jacalin-Me-alpha-Glc complex and a new form of the jacalin-Me-alpha-Man complex, have been carried out. The binding affinity of Me-alpha-Man is 20 times weaker than that of Me-alpha-Gal. The corresponding number is 27, when the binding affinities of Gal and Me-alpha-Gal, and those of Man and Me-alpha-Man are compared. Glucose (Glc) shows no measurable binding, while the binding affinity of Me-alpha-Glc is slightly less than that of Me-alpha-Man. The available crystal structures of jacalin-sugar complexes provide a convincing explanation for the energetics of binding in terms of interactions at the primary binding site and secondary site A. The other sugars used in calorimetric studies show no detectable binding to jacalin. These results and other available evidence suggest that jacalin is specific to O-glycans and its affinity to N-glycans is extremely weak or non-existent and therefore of limited value in processes involving biological recognition. 相似文献
