Crystal structure of a new ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP): dianthin 30
Overview
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are plant proteins with enzymatic activity identified as rRNA N-glycosidase (EC 3.2.2.22), which cleaves the N-glycosidic bond of a specific adenine on the ricin/sarcin region of rRNA, thus causing inhibition of protein synthesis. They also depurinate extensively DNA and other polynucleotides. The three-dimensional structure of dianthin 30, a type 1 (single-chain) RIP of Dianthus caryophyllus (leaves), is now described at 1.4 angstroms, a resolution never achieved before for any RIP. The fold typical of RIPs is conserved, despite some differences in the loop regions. The general structure comparison by superimposed alpha-carbon (249 atoms) and the sequence alignment by structure for dianthin 30 and saporin-S6 give a root mean square deviation of 0.625 angstroms. Despite the differences reported for the biological activities of the two RIPs, their structures fit quite well and both show a protein segment containing strands beta7, beta8, and beta9 shorter than other RIPs. However, the surface electrostatic potential in the active site region neatly distinguishes dianthin 30 from saporin-S6. The possible relationship between the charge distribution and the behavior of the proteins toward different substrates is discussed.
