X-ray structure of the bis-platinum lysozyme adduct formed in the reaction between the protein and the two drugs Cisplatin and Oxaliplatin (preparation 2)
Structural highlights
FunctionLYSC_CHICK Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents. Has bacteriolytic activity against M.luteus.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe model protein hen egg white lysozyme was challenged with oxaliplatin and cisplatin. ESI mass spectrometry, surface plasmon resonance and thermal shift analyses demonstrate the formation of a bis-platinum adduct, though in very small amounts. Crystals of the bis-platinum adduct were obtained using two different preparations and the X-ray structures were solved at 1.85 A and 1.95 A resolution. Overall, the obtained data point out that, under the analyzed conditions, the two Pt drugs have similar affinities for the protein, but bind on its surface at two non-overlapping sites. In other words, these two drugs manifest a significantly different reactivity with this model protein and do not compete for the same protein binding sites.
