Crystal structure of human WBSCR16
Structural highlights
Disease[RCC1L_HUMAN] Williams syndrome. WBSCR16 is located in the Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) critical region. WBS results from a hemizygous deletion of several genes on chromosome 7q11.23, thought to arise as a consequence of unequal crossing over between highly homologous low-copy repeat sequences flanking the deleted region. Haploinsufficiency of WBSCR16 may be the cause of certain cardiovascular and musculo-skeletal abnormalities observed in the disease.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedWBSCR16 (Williams-Beuren Syndrome Chromosomal Region 16) gene is located in a large deletion region of Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), which is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Although the relationship between WBSCR16 and WBS remains unclear, it has been reported that WBSCR16 is a member of a functional module that regulates mitochondrial 16S rRNA abundance and intra-mitochondrial translation. WBSCR16 has RCC1 (Regulator of Chromosome Condensation 1)-like amino acid sequence repeats but the function of WBSCR16 appears to be different from that of other RCC1 superfamily members. Here, we demonstrate that WBSCR16 localizes to mitochondria in HeLa cells, and report the crystal structure of WBSCR16 determined to 2.0 A resolution using multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction. WBSCR16 adopts the seven-bladed beta-propeller fold characteristic of RCC1-like proteins. A comparison of the WBSCR16 structure with that of RCC1 and other RCC1-like proteins reveals that, although many of the residues buried in the core of the beta-propeller are highly conserved, the surface residues are poorly conserved and conformationally divergent.
