CIRCULIN A FROM CHASSALIA PARVIFLORA, NMR, 12 STRUCTURES
Overview
The three-dimensional solution structure of circulin A, a 30 residue, polypeptide from the African plant Chassalia parvifolia, has been, determined using two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Circulin A was, originally identified based upon its inhibition of the cytopathic effects, and replication of the human immunodeficiency virus. Structural restraints, consisting of 369 interproton distances inferred from nuclear Overhauser, effects, and 21 backbone dihedral and nine chi1 angle restraints from, spin-spin coupling constants were used as input for simulated annealing, calculations and energy minimisation in the program X-PLOR. The final set, of 12 structures had mean pairwise rms differences over the whole molecule, of 0.91 A for the backbone atom, and 1.68 A for all heavy atoms. For the, well-defined region encompassing residues 2-12 and 18-27, the, corresponding values were 0.71 and 1.66 A, respectively. Circulin A adopts, a compact structure consisting of beta-turns and a distorted segment of, triple-stranded beta-sheet. Fluorescence spectroscopy provided additional, evidence for a solvent-exposed Trp residue. The molecule is stabilised by, three disulfide bonds, two of which form an embedded loop completed by the, backbone fragments connecting the cysteine residues. A third disulfide, bond threads through the centre of this loop to form a "cystine-knot", motif. This motif is present in a range of other biologically active, proteins, including omega-contoxin GVIA and Cucurbita maxima trypsin, inhibitor. Circulin A belongs to a novel class of macrocyclic peptides, which have been isolated from plants in the Rubiaceae family. The global, fold of circulin A is similar to kalata B1, the only member of this class, for which a structure has previously been determined.
