We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

The Escherichia coli protein YajL (ThiJ) is a member of the DJ-1 superfamily with close homologues in many prokaryotes. YajL also shares 40% sequence identity with human DJ-1, an oncogene and neuroprotective protein whose loss-of-function mutants are associated with certain types of familial, autosomal recessive Parkinsonism. We report the 1.1 angstroms resolution crystal structure of YajL in a crystal form with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure of YajL is remarkably similar to that of human DJ-1 (0.9 angstroms C(alpha) RMSD) and both proteins adopt the same dimeric structure. The conserved cysteine residue located in the "nucleophile elbow" is oxidized to either cysteine sulfenic or sulfinic acid in the two molecules in the asymmetric unit, and a mechanism for this oxidation is proposed that may be valid for other proteins in the DJ-1 superfamily as well. Rosenfield difference matrix analysis of the refined anisotropic displacement parameters in the YajL structure reveals significant differences in the intramolecular flexibility of the two non-crystallographic symmetry-related molecules in the asymmetric unit. Lastly, a comparison of the crystal structures of the four different E.coli members of the DJ-1 superfamily indicates that the variable oligomerization in this superfamily is due to a combination of protein-specific insertions into the core fold that form specific interfaces while occluding others plus optimization of residues in the structurally invariant regions of the core fold that facilitate protein-protein interactions.
