NMR solution structure of a leaf-specific-expressed cyclotide vhl-1
Overview
Based on a newly established sequencing strategy featured by its, efficiency, simplicity, and easy manipulation, the sequences of four novel, cyclotides (macrocyclic knotted proteins) isolated from an Australian, plant Viola hederaceae were determined. The three-dimensional solution, structure of V. hederaceae leaf cyclotide-1 (vhl-1), a leaf-specific, expressed 31-residue cyclotide, has been determined using two-dimensional, (1)H NMR spectroscopy. vhl-1 adopts a compact and well defined structure, including a distorted triple-stranded beta-sheet, a short 3(10) helical, segment and several turns. It is stabilized by three disulfide bonds, which, together with backbone segments, form a cyclic cystine knot motif., The three-disulfide bonds are almost completely buried into the protein, core, and the six cysteines contribute only 3.8% to the molecular surface., A pH titration experiment revealed that the folding of vhl-1 shows little, pH dependence and allowed the pK(a) of 3.0 for Glu(3) and approximately, 5.0 for Glu(14) to be determined. Met(7) was found to be oxidized in the, native form, consistent with the fact that its side chain protrudes into, the solvent, occupying 7.5% of the molecular surface. vhl-1 shows anti-HIV, activity with an EC(50) value of 0.87 microm.
