X-ray crystallography typically uses a single set of coordinates and B, factors to describe macromolecular conformations. Refinement of multiple, copies of the entire structure has been previously used in specific cases, as an alternative means of representing structural flexibility. Here, we, systematically validate this method by using simulated diffraction data, and we find that ensemble refinement produces better representations of, the distributions of atomic positions in the simulated structures than, single-conformer refinements. Comparison of principal components, calculated from the refined ensembles and simulations shows that concerted, motions are captured locally, but that correlations dissipate over long, distances. Ensemble refinement is also used on 50 experimental structures, of varying resolution and leads to decreases in R(free) values, implying, that improvements in the representation of flexibility observed for the, simulated structures may apply to real structures. These gains are, essentially independent of resolution or data-to-parameter ratio, suggesting that even structures at moderate resolution can benefit from, ensemble refinement.

The ribonuclease inhibitor protein (RI) binds to members of the bovine, pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) superfamily with an affinity in the, femtomolar range. Here, we report on structural and energetic aspects of, the interaction between human RI (hRI) and human pancreatic ribonuclease, (RNase 1). The structure of the crystalline hRI x RNase 1 complex was, determined at a resolution of 1.95 A, revealing the formation of 19, intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving 13 residues of RNase 1. In, contrast, only nine such hydrogen bonds are apparent in the structure of, the complex between porcine RI and RNase A. hRI, which is anionic, also, appears to use its horseshoe-shaped structure to engender long-range, Coulombic interactions with RNase 1, which is cationic. In accordance with, the structural data, the hRI.RNase 1 complex was found to be extremely, stable (t(1/2)=81 days; K(d)=2.9 x 10(-16) M). Site-directed mutagenesis, experiments enabled the identification of two cationic residues in RNase, 1, Arg39 and Arg91, that are especially important for both the formation, and stability of the complex, and are thus termed "electrostatic targeting, residues". Disturbing the electrostatic attraction between hRI and RNase 1, yielded a variant of RNase 1 that maintained ribonucleolytic activity and, conformational stability but had a 2.8 x 10(3)-fold lower association rate, for complex formation and 5.9 x 10(9)-fold lower affinity for hRI. This, variant of RNase 1, which exhibits the largest decrease in RI affinity of, any engineered ribonuclease, is also toxic to human erythroleukemia cells., Together, these results provide new insight into an unusual and important, protein-protein interaction, and could expedite the development of human, ribonucleases as chemotherapeutic agents.

Ensemble refinement of the protein crystal structure of human ribonuclease inhibitor complexed with ribonuclease I

Overview

The ribonuclease inhibitor protein (RI) binds to members of the bovine, pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) superfamily with an affinity in the, femtomolar range. Here, we report on structural and energetic aspects of, the interaction between human RI (hRI) and human pancreatic ribonuclease, (RNase 1). The structure of the crystalline hRI x RNase 1 complex was, determined at a resolution of 1.95 A, revealing the formation of 19, intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving 13 residues of RNase 1. In, contrast, only nine such hydrogen bonds are apparent in the structure of, the complex between porcine RI and RNase A. hRI, which is anionic, also, appears to use its horseshoe-shaped structure to engender long-range, Coulombic interactions with RNase 1, which is cationic. In accordance with, the structural data, the hRI.RNase 1 complex was found to be extremely, stable (t(1/2)=81 days; K(d)=2.9 x 10(-16) M). Site-directed mutagenesis, experiments enabled the identification of two cationic residues in RNase, 1, Arg39 and Arg91, that are especially important for both the formation, and stability of the complex, and are thus termed "electrostatic targeting, residues". Disturbing the electrostatic attraction between hRI and RNase 1, yielded a variant of RNase 1 that maintained ribonucleolytic activity and, conformational stability but had a 2.8 x 10(3)-fold lower association rate, for complex formation and 5.9 x 10(9)-fold lower affinity for hRI. This, variant of RNase 1, which exhibits the largest decrease in RI affinity of, any engineered ribonuclease, is also toxic to human erythroleukemia cells., Together, these results provide new insight into an unusual and important, protein-protein interaction, and could expedite the development of human, ribonucleases as chemotherapeutic agents.
