X-ray Sequence and Crystal Structure of Luffaculin 1, a Novel Type 1 Ribosome-inactivating Protein
Overview
BACKGROUND: Protein sequence can be obtained through Edman degradation, mass spectrometry, or cDNA sequencing. High resolution X-ray, crystallography can also be used to derive protein sequence information, but faces the difficulty in distinguishing the Asp/Asn, Glu/Gln, and, Val/Thr pairs. Luffaculin 1 is a new type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein, (RIP) isolated from the seeds of Luffa acutangula. Besides rRNA, N-glycosidase activity, luffaculin 1 also demonstrates activities, including inhibiting tumor cells' proliferation and inducing tumor cells', differentiation. RESULTS: The crystal structure of luffaculin 1 was, determined at 1.4 A resolution. Its amino-acid sequence was derived from, this high resolution structure using the following criteria: 1) high, resolution electron density; 2) comparison of electron density between two, molecules that exist in the same crystal; 3) evaluation of the chemical, environment of residues to break down the sequence assignment ambiguity in, residue pairs Glu/Gln, Asp/Asn, and Val/Thr; 4) comparison with sequences, of the homologous proteins. Using the criteria 1 and 2, 66% of the, residues can be assigned. By incorporating with criterion 3, 86% of the, residues were assigned, suggesting the effectiveness of chemical, environment evaluation in breaking down residue ambiguity. In total, 94%, of the luffaculin 1 sequence was assigned with high confidence using this, improved X-ray sequencing strategy. Two N-acetylglucosamine moieties, linked respectively to the residues Asn77 and Asn84, can be identified in, the structure. Residues Tyr70, Tyr110, Glu159 and Arg162 define the active, site of luffaculin 1 as an RNA N-glycosidase. CONCLUSION: X-ray sequencing, method can be effective to derive sequence information of proteins. The, evaluation of the chemical environment of residues is a useful method to, break down the assignment ambiguity in Glu/Gln, Asp/Asn, and Val/Thr, pairs. The sequence and the crystal structure confirm that luffaculin 1 is, a new type 1 RIP.
