THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASE OF SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM FUSED WITH A CONSERVED NEUTRALIZING EPITOPE ON GP41 OF HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS TYPE 1
Overview
The 3-dimensional crystal structure of glutathione S-transferase (GST) of, Schistosoma japonicum (Sj) fused with a conserved neutralizing epitope on, gp41 (glycoprotein, 41 kDa) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), (Muster T et al., 1993, J Virol 67:6642-6647) was determined at 2.5 A, resolution. The structure of the 3-3 isozyme rat GST of the mu gene class, (Ji X, Zhang P, Armstrong RN, Gilliland GL, 1992, Biochemistry, 31:10169-10184) was used as a molecular replacement model. The structure, consists of a 4-stranded beta-sheet and 3 alpha-helices in domain 1 and 5, alpha-helices in domain 2. The space group of the Sj GST crystal is, P4(3)2(1)2, with unit cell dimensions of a = b = 94.7 A, and c = 58.1 A., The crystal has 1 GST monomer per asymmetric unit, and 2 monomers that, form an active dimer are related by crystallographic 2-fold symmetry. In, the binding site, the ordered structure of reduced glutathione is, observed. The gp41 peptide (Glu-Leu-Asp-Lys-Trp-Ala) fused to the, C-terminus of Sj GST forms a loop stabilized by symmetry-related GSTs. The, Sj GST structure is compared with previously determined GST structures of, mammalian gene classes mu, alpha, and pi. Conserved amino acid residues, among the 4 GSTs that are important for hydrophobic and hydrophilic, interactions for dimer association and glutathione binding are discussed.
