Function

[THN1_WHEAT] Thionins are small plant proteins which are toxic to animal cells. They seem to exert their toxic effect at the level of the cell membrane. Their precise function is not known.

Evolutionary Conservation

Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The three-dimensional structure of alpha(1)-purothionin (alpha(1)-PT), a wheat-germ protein and a basic lytic toxin, was previously solved by molecular-replacement methods using an energy-minimized predicted model and refined to an R-factor of 21.6% [Teeter, Ma, Rao & Whitlow (1990). Proteins Struct. Funct. Genet. 8, 118-1321. Some deficiencies of the model motivated us to revisit the structure and to continue the refinement. Here we report a significantly improved structure refined to an R-factor of 15.5% with excellent geometry. The refinement of this relatively low resolution structure ( approximately 2.8 A) is well suited to test the limitations of classical methods of refinement and to address the problem of overfitting, The final structure contains 434 atoms including 330 protein atoms, 70 waters, three acetates, two glycerols, one sec-butanol and one phosphate. The key solute molecules (acetate ion and phosphate ion) play a crucial role in the lattice formation. Phosphate and glycerol found in the structure may be important for biological activity of the toxins.

Refinement of purothionins reveals solute particles important for lattice formation and toxicity. Part 1: alpha1-purothionin revisited.,Rao U, Stec B, Teeter MM Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 1995 Nov 1;51(Pt 6):904-13. PMID:15299760^[1]
