Crystal Structure of Human Intrinsic Factor- Cobalamin Complex at 2.6 A Resolution
Overview
The structure of intrinsic factor (IF) in complex with cobalamin (Cbl) was, determined at 2.6-A resolution. The overall fold of the molecule is that, of an alpha(6)/alpha(6) barrel. It is a two-domain protein, and the Cbl is, bound at the interface of the domains in a base-on conformation., Surprisingly, two full-length molecules, each comprising an alpha- and a, beta-domain and one Cbl, and two truncated molecules with only an alpha-, domain are present in the same asymmetric unit. The environment around Cbl, is dominated by uncharged residues, and the sixth coordinate position of, Co(2+) is empty. A detailed comparison between the IF-B12 complex and, another Cbl transport protein complex, trans-Cbl-B12, has been made. The, pH effect on the binding of Cbl analogues in transport proteins is, analyzed. A possible basis for the lack of interchangeability of human and, rat IF receptors is presented.
