TRP RNA-BINDING ATTENUATION PROTEIN IN COMPLEX WITH L-TRYPTOPHAN
Overview
The crystal structure of the trp RNA-binding attenuation protein of, Bacclius subtilis solved at 1.8 A resolution reveals a novel structural, arrangement in which the eleven subunits are stabilized through eleven, intersubunit beta-sheets to form a beta-wheel with a large central hole., The nature of the binding of L-tryptophan in clefts between adjacent, beta-sheets in the beta-wheel suggests that this binding induces, conformational changes in the flexible residues 25-33 and 49-52. It is, argued that upon binding, the messenger RNA target forms a matching circle, in which eleven U/GAG repeats are bound to the surface of the protein, ondecamer modified by the binding of L-tryptophan.
