18KDA N-II DOMAIN FRAGMENT OF DUCK OVOTRANSFERRIN + NTA

Overview

In a previous paper [Lindley et al. (1993), Acta Cryst. D49, 292-304], the, X-ray structure analysis of the 18 kDa fragment of duck ovotransferrin, corresponding to the NII domain of the intact protein, was reported at a, resolution of 2.3 A. In this structure, the Fe(III) cation binds to two, tyrosine residues and the synergistic carbonate anion in an identical, manner to that found in the intact protein. However, the aspartate and, histidine residues, normally involved in iron binding in transferrins, are, absent in the fragment and it was not possible to unequivocally define, what had replaced them. The electron density was tentatively assigned to, be a mixture of peptides, presumably resulting from the proteolytic, preparation of the fragment, binding to the iron through their amino ...
