IDENTIFICATION OF A SECONDARY ZINC-BINDING SITE IN STAPHYLOCOCCAL ENTEROTOXIN C2: IMPLICATIONS FOR SUPERANTIGEN RECOGNITION
Overview
The previously determined crystal structure of the superantigen, staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 (SEC2) showed binding of a single zinc ion, located between the N- and C-terminal domains. Here we present the crystal, structure of SEC2 determined to 2.0 A resolution in the presence of, additional zinc. The structure revealed the presence of a secondary, zinc-binding site close to the major histocompatibility complex, (MHC)-binding site of the toxin and some 28 A away from the primary, zinc-binding site of the toxin found in previous studies. T cell, stimulation assays showed that varying the concentration of zinc ions, present affected the activity of the toxin and we observed that high zinc, concentrations considerably inhibited T cell responses. This indicates, that SEC2 may have multiple modes of interaction with the immune system, that are dependent on serum zinc levels. The potential role of the, secondary zinc-binding site and that of the primary one in the formation, of the TCR.SEC2.MHC complex are considered, and the possibility that zinc, may regulate the activity of SEC2 as a toxin facilitating different T cell, responses is discussed.
