CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF PI-SCEI MINIPRECURSOR
Overview
PI-SceI is a member of a class of proteins (inteins) that excise, themselves from a precursor protein and in the process ligate the flanking, protein sequences (exteins). We report here the 2.1-A resolution crystal, structure of a PI-SceI miniprecursor (VMA29) containing 10 N-terminal, extein residues and 4 C-terminal extein residues. Mutations at the N- and, C-terminal splicing junctions, blocking in vivo protein splicing, allowed, the miniprecursor to be purified and crystallized. The structure reveals, both the N- and C-terminal scissile peptide bonds to be in distorted trans, conformations (tau approximately 100 degrees ). Modeling of the wild-type, PI-SceI based on the VMA29 structure indicates a large conformational, change (movement of >9 A) must occur to allow transesterification to be, completed. A zinc atom was discovered at the C-terminal splicing junction., Residues Cys(455), His(453), and Glu(80) along with a water molecule, (Wat(53)) chelate the zinc atom. The crystal structure of VMA29 has, captured the intein in its pre-spliced state.
