3-D STRUCTURE OF A SALIVARY LIPOCALIN FROM BOAR

Overview

The X-ray structure of variant A of authentic boar salivary lipocalin, (SAL), a pheromone-binding protein specifically expressed in the, submaxillary glands of the boar, has been solved and refined at 2.1 A, resolution. The structure displays a classical lipocalin fold with a, nine-stranded sandwiched beta barrel and an alpha helix. A putative, glycosylation site, at position 53, has been found to carry a GlcNAc sugar, residue. In contrast with what was expected on the basis of mass, spectroscopy reports, the internal cavity was found to be devoid of bound, pheromonal compound (androstenone or androstenol). Instead, a small, electron density volume could be satisfied by a glycerol molecule, a, component of the cryoprotecting liquor. The internal cavity was revealed, to be very small for ...
