CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BPI, THE HUMAN BACTERICIDAL PERMEABILITY-INCREASING PROTEIN
Overview
Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI), a potent antimicrobial, protein of 456 residues, binds to and neutralizes lipopolysaccharides from, the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. At a resolution of 2.4, angstroms, the crystal structure of human BPI shows a boomerang-shaped, molecule formed by two similar domains. Two apolar pockets on the concave, surface of the boomerang each bind a molecule of phosphatidylcholine, primarily by interacting with their acyl chains; this suggests that the, pockets may also bind the acyl chains of lipopolysaccharide. As a model, for the related plasma lipid transfer proteins, BPI illuminates a, mechanism of lipid transfer for this protein family.
