Structure of Major Royal Jelly Protein 1 Oligomer
Structural highlights
Function[MRJP1_APIME] Major royal jelly protein 1: induces the differentiation of honeybee larvae into queens through an Egfr-mediated signaling pathway. Promotes body size increase by activating p70 S6 kinase, stimulates ovary development by augmenting the titer of vitellogenin (Vg) and juvenile hormone, and reduces developmental time by increasing the activity of mitogen-activated protein kinase and inducing the 20-hydroxyecdysone protein (20E). Most abundant protein found in the royal jelly which is the food of the queen honey bee larva. The royal jelly determines the development of the young larvae and is responsible for the high reproductive ability of the honeybee queen. Jellein-1: has antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus ATCC 6535, S.saprophyticus and B.subtilis CCT2471, and the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli CCT1371, E.cloacae ATCC 23355, K.pneumoniae ATCC 13883 and P.aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and antifungal activity against C.albicans. Lack cytolytic activity and does not induce rat peritoneal mast cell degranulation. Jellein-2: has antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus ATCC 6535, S.saprophyticus and B.subtilis CCT2471, and the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli CCT1371, E.cloacae ATCC 23355, K.pneumoniae ATCC 13883 and P.aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and antifungal activity against C.albicans. Lack cytolytic activity and does not induce rat peritoneal mast cell degranulation. Jellein-4: lacks antibacterial and antifungal activity. Lacks cytolytic activity and does not induce rat peritoneal mast cell degranulation. Publication Abstract from PubMedHoneybee caste development is nutritionally regulated by royal jelly (RJ). Major royal jelly protein 1 (MRJP1), the most abundant glycoprotein among soluble royal jelly proteins, plays pivotal roles in honeybee nutrition and larvae development, and exhibits broad pharmacological activities in humans. However, its structure has long remained unknown. Herein, we identify and report a 16-molecule architecture of native MRJP1 oligomer containing four MRJP1, four apisimin, and eight unanticipated 24-methylenecholesterol molecules at 2.65 A resolution. MRJP1 has a unique six-bladed beta-propeller fold with three disulfide bonds, and it interacts with apisimin mainly by hydrophobic interaction. Every four 24-methylenecholesterol molecules are packaged by two MRJP1 and two apisimin molecules. This assembly dimerizes to form an H-shaped MRJP14-apisimin4-24-methylenecholesterol8 complex via apisimin in a conserved and pH-dependent fashion. Our findings offer a structural basis for understanding the pharmacological effects of MRJPs and 24-methylenecholesterol, and provide insights into their unique physiological roles in bees.
