CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AND SUBUNIT DYNAMICS OF THE LYSIN DIMER: EGG ENVELOPES DISSOCIATE DIMERS, THE MONOMER IS THE ACTIVE SPECIES

Structural highlights

1lyn is a 2 chain structure with sequence from California red abalone. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.

Function

[ELYS_HALRU] Dissolves the egg vitelline layer nonenzymatically during fertilization. It creates a hole of about 3 mu-m in diameter through which the sperm pass.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Lysin is a 16-kD acrosomal protein used by abalone spermatozoa to create a hole in the egg vitelline envelope (VE) by a nonenzymatic mechanism. The crystal structure of the lysin monomer is known at 1.9 A resolution. The surface of the molecule reveals two tracks of basic residues running the length of one surface of the molecule and a patch of solvent-exposed hydrophobic residues on the opposite surface. Here we report that lysin dimerizes via interaction of the hydrophobic patches of monomers. Triton X-100 dissociates the dimer. The crystal structure of the dimer is described at 2.75 A resolution. Fluorescence energy transfer experiments show that the dimer has an approximate KD of 1 microM and that monomers exchange rapidly between dimers. Addition of isolated egg VE dissociates dimers, implicating monomers as the active species in the dissolution reaction. This work represents the first step in the elucidation of the mechanism by which lysin enables abalone spermatozoa to create a hole in the egg envelope during fertilization.
