Structural highlights
Disease[NLTP_HUMAN] Defects in SCP2 are a cause of leukoencephalopathy with dystonia and motor neuropathy (LDMN) [MIM:613724]; also known as sterol carrier protein 2 deficiency. LDMN is a syndrome characterized by leukoencephalopathy, dystonic head tremor, spasmodic torticollis and reduced tendon reflexes in lower extremities. Additional features include hyposmia, pathologic saccadic eye movements, a slight hypoacusis, accumulation of branched-chain pristanic acid in plasma, and the presence of abnormal bile alcohol glucuronides in urine.[1] Function[NLTP_HUMAN] Mediates in vitro the transfer of all common phospholipids, cholesterol and gangliosides between membranes. May play a role in regulating steroidogenesis.[2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe determination of the NMR structure of the sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP2), analysis of backbone (15)N spin relaxation parameters and NMR studies of nitroxide spin-labeled substrate binding are presented as a new basis for investigations of the mode of action of SCP2. The SCP2 fold is formed by a five-stranded beta-sheet and four alpha-helices. Fatty acid binding to a hydrophobic surface area formed by amino acid residues of the first and third helices, and the beta-sheet, which are all located in the polypeptide segment 8-102, was identified with the use of the spin-labeled substrate 16-doxylstearic acid. In the free protein, the lipid-binding site is covered by the C-terminal segment 105-123, suggesting that this polypeptide segment, which carries the peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1), might be involved in the regulation of ligand binding.
