Crystal structure of human calprotectin(S100A8/S100A9)
Structural highlights
Function[S10A8_HUMAN] S100A8 is a calcium- and zinc-binding protein which plays a prominent role in the regulation of inflammatory processes and immune response. It can induce neutrophil chemotaxis and adhesion. Predominantly found as calprotectin (S100A8/A9) which has a wide plethora of intra- and extracellular functions. The intracellular functions include: facilitating leukocyte arachidonic acid trafficking and metabolism, modulation of the tubulin-dependent cytoskeleton during migration of phagocytes and activation of the neutrophilic NADPH-oxidase. Activates NADPH-oxidase by facilitating the enzyme complex assembly at the cell membrane, transfering arachidonic acid, an essential cofactor, to the enzyme complex and S100A8 contributes to the enzyme assembly by directly binding to NCF2/P67PHOX. The extracellular functions involve proinfammatory, antimicrobial, oxidant-scavenging and apoptosis-inducing activities. Its proinflammatory activity includes recruitment of leukocytes, promotion of cytokine and chemokine production, and regulation of leukocyte adhesion and migration. Acts as an alarmin or a danger associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule and stimulates innate immune cells via binding to pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (AGER). Binding to TLR4 and AGER activates the MAP-kinase and NF-kappa-B signaling pathways resulting in the amplification of the proinflammatory cascade. Has antimicrobial activity towards bacteria and fungi and exerts its antimicrobial activity probably via chelation of Zn(2+) which is essential for microbial growth. Can induce cell death via autophagy and apoptosis and this occurs through the cross-talk of mitochondria and lysosomes via reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the process involves BNIP3. Can regulate neutrophil number and apoptosis by an anti-apoptotic effect; regulates cell survival via ITGAM/ITGB and TLR4 and a signaling mechanism involving MEK-ERK. Its role as an oxidant scavenger has a protective role in preventing exaggerated tissue damage by scavenging oxidants. Can act as a potent amplifier of inflammation in autoimmunity as well as in cancer development and tumor spread.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [S10A9_HUMAN] S100A9 is a calcium- and zinc-binding protein which plays a prominent role in the regulation of inflammatory processes and immune response. It can induce neutrophil chemotaxis, adhesion, can increase the bactericidal activity of neutrophils by promoting phagocytosis via activation of SYK, PI3K/AKT, and ERK1/2 and can induce degranulation of neutrophils by a MAPK-dependent mechanism.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe EF-hand proteins S100A8 and S100A9 are important calcium signalling proteins that are involved in wound healing and provide clinically relevant markers of inflammatory processes, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Both can form homodimers via distinct modes of association, probably of lesser stability in the case of S100A9, whereas in the presence of calcium S100A8 and S100A9 associate to calprotectin, the physiologically active heterooligomer. Here we describe the crystal structure of the (S100A8/S100A9)(2) heterotetramer at 1.8 A resolution. Its quaternary structure illustrates how specific heteroassociation is energetically driven by a more extensive burial of solvent accessible surface areas in both proteins, most pronounced for S100A9, thus leading to a dimer of heterodimers. A major contribution to tetramer association is made by the canonical calcium binding loops in the C-terminal halves of the two proteins. The mode of heterodimerisation in calprotectin more closely resembles the subunit association previously observed in the S100A8 homodimer and provides trans stabilisation for S100A9, which manifests itself in a significantly elongated C-terminal alpha-helix in the latter. As a consequence, two different putative zinc binding sites emerge at the S100A8/S100A9 subunit interface. One of these corresponds to a high affinity arrangement of three His residues and one Asp side-chain, which is unique to the heterotetramer. This structural feature explains the well known Zn(2+) binding activity of calprotectin, whose overexpression can cause strong dysregulation of zinc homeostasis with severe clinical symptoms. The crystal structure of the human (S100A8/S100A9)2 heterotetramer, calprotectin, illustrates how conformational changes of interacting alpha-helices can determine specific association of two EF-hand proteins.,Korndorfer IP, Brueckner F, Skerra A J Mol Biol. 2007 Jul 27;370(5):887-98.
