Crystal Structure of a Domain-Opened Mutant (R121D) of the Human Lactoferrin N-lobe Refined From a Merohedrally-Twinned Crystal Form.
Contents |
Overview
Human lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein with a bilobal structure., Each lobe contains a high-affinity binding site for a single Fe(3+) ion, and an associated CO(3)(2-) ion. Although iron binds very tightly, it can, be released at low pH, with an accompanying conformational change in which, the two domains move apart. The Arg121Asp (R121D) mutant of the N-lobe, half-molecule of human lactoferrin was constructed in order to test, whether the Asp121 side chain could substitute for the CO(3)(2-) ion at, the iron-binding site. The R121D mutant protein was crystallized in its, apo form as it lost iron during crystallization. The crystals were also, merohedrally twinned, with a twin fraction close to 0.5. Starting from the, initial molecular-replacement solution [Breyer et al. (1999), Acta Cryst., D55, 129-138], the structure has been refined at 3.0 A resolution to an R, factor of 13.9% (R(free) of 19.9%). Despite the moderate resolution, the, high solvent content and non-crystallographic symmetry contributed to, electron-density maps of excellent quality. Weakened iron binding by the, R121D mutant is explained by occlusion of the anion-binding site by the, Asp side chain. The opening of the two domains in the apoR121D structure, (a rotation of 54 degrees ) closely matches that of the N-lobe in, full-length lactoferrin, showing that the extent of the conformational, change depends on properties inherent to the N-lobe. Differences in the, C-terminal portion of the N-lobe (residues 321-332) for apoR121D relative, to the closed wild-type iron-bound structure point to the importance of, this region in stabilizing the open form.
