CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF EOSINOPHIL CATIONIC PROTEIN IN COMPLEX WITH 2',5'-ADP AT 2.0 A RESOLUTION REVEALS THE DETAILS OF THE RIBONUCLEOLYTIC ACTIVE SITE
Overview
Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a component of the eosinophil granule, matrix. It shows marked toxicity against helminth parasites, bacteria, single-stranded RNA viruses, and host epithelial cells. Secretion of human, ECP is related to eosinophil-associated allergic, asthmatic, and, inflammatory diseases. ECP belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease, superfamily of proteins, and the crystal structure of ECP in the, unliganded form (determined previously) exhibited a conserved RNase A fold, [Boix, E., et al. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 16794-16801]. We have now, determined a high-resolution (2.0 A) crystal structure of ECP in complex, with adenosine 2',5'-diphosphate (2',5'-ADP) which has revealed the, details of the ribonucleolytic active site. Residues Gln-14, His-15, and, Lys-38 make ... [(full description)]
