Crystal structure of the complex of human vitamin D binding protein and rabbit muscle actin
Contents |
Overview
The multifunctional vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is an, actin-sequestering protein present in blood. The crystal structure of the, actin-DBP complex was determined at 2.4 A resolution. DBP binds to actin, subdomains 1 and 3 and occludes the cleft at the interface between these, subdomains. Most remarkably, DBP demonstrates an unusually large, actin-binding interface, far exceeding the binding-interface areas, reported for other actin-binding proteins such as profilin, DNase I and, gelsolin. The fast-growing side of actin monomers is blocked completely, through a perfect structural fit with DBP, demonstrating how DBP, effectively interferes with actin-filament formation. It establishes DBP, as the hitherto best actin-sequestering protein and highlights its key, role in suppressing and preventing extracellular actin polymerization.
