CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF MIL (MTH680), AN ARCHAEAL IMP4-LIKE PROTEIN
Overview
Proteins of the Imp4/Brix superfamily are involved in ribosomal RNA processing, an essential function in all cells. We report the first structure of an Imp4/Brix superfamily protein, the Mil (for Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus Imp4-like) protein (gene product Mth680), from the archaeon M. thermautotrophicus. The amino- and carboxy-terminal halves of Mil show significant structural similarity to one another, suggesting an origin by means of an ancestral duplication. Both halves show the same fold as the anticodon-binding domain of class IIa aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, with greater conservation seen in the N-terminal half. This structural similarity, together with the charge distribution in Mil, suggests that Imp4/Brix superfamily proteins could bind single-stranded segments of RNA along a concave surface formed by the N-terminal half of their beta-sheet and a central alpha-helix. The crystal structure of Mil is incompatible with the presence, in the Imp4/Brix domain, of a helix-turn-helix motif that was proposed to comprise the RNA-binding moiety of the Imp4/Brix proteins.
