Solution structure of ribosomal protein S28E from Methanobacterium Thermoautotrophicum. Ontario Centre for Structural Proteomics target MTH0256_1_68; Northeast Structural Genomics Target TT744

Overview

The ribosomal protein S28E from the archaeon Methanobacterium, thermoautotrophicum is a component of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Sequence, homologs of S28E are found only in archaea and eukaryotes. Here we report, the three-dimensional solution structure of S28E by NMR spectroscopy. S28E, contains a globular region and a long C-terminal tail protruding from the, core. The globular region consists of four antiparallel beta-strands that, are arranged in a Greek-key topology. Unique features of S28E include an, extended loop L2-3 that folds back onto the protein and a 12-residue, charged C-terminal tail with no regular secondary structure and greater, flexibility relative to the rest of the protein. The structural and, surface resemblance to OB-fold family of proteins and the presence of, highly conserved basic residues suggest that S28E may bind to RNA. A broad, positively charged surface extending over one side of the beta-barrel and, into the flexible C terminus may present a putative binding site for RNA.
