BETA-APICAL DOMAIN OF THERMOSOME
Overview
The crystal structure of the beta-apical domain of the thermosome, an, archaeal group II chaperonin from Thermoplasma acidophilum, has been, determined at 2.8 A resolution. The structure shows an invariant globular, core from which a 25 A long protrusion emanates, composed of an elongated, alpha-helix (H10) and a long extended stretch consisting of residues, GluB245-ThrB253. A comparison with previous apical domain structures, reveals a large segmental displacement of the protruding part of helix H10, via the hinge GluB276-ValB278. The region comprising residues, GluB245-ThrB253 adopts an extended beta-like conformation rather than the, alpha-helix seen in the alpha-apical domain. Consequently, it appears that, the protrusions of the apical domains from group II chaperonins might, assume a variety of context-dependent conformations during an open, substrate-accepting state of the chaperonin. Sequence variations in the, protrusion regions that are found in the eukaryotic TRiC/CCT subunits may, provide different structural propensities and hence serve different roles, in substrate recognition.
