NMR structure of Antheraea polyphemus pheromone-binding protein 1 at pH 4.5
Overview
The NMR structure of the Antheraea polyphemus pheromone-binding protein 1, at pH 4.5, ApolPBP1(A), was determined at 20 degrees C. The structure, consists of six alpha-helices, which are arranged in a globular fold that, encapsulates a central helix alpha7 formed by the C-terminal polypeptide, segment 131-142. The 3D arrangement of these helices is anchored by the, three disulfide bonds 19-54, 50-108 and 97-117, which were identified by, NMR. Superposition of the ApolPBP1(A) structure with the structure of the, homologous pheromone-binding protein of Bombyx mori at pH 4.5, BmorPBP(A), yielded an rmsd of 1.7 A calculated for the backbone heavy-atoms N, C(alpha) and C' of residues 10-142. In contrast, the present ApolPBP1(A), structure is different from a recently proposed molecular model for a, low-pH form of ApolPBP1 that does not contain the central helix alpha7., ApolPBP1 exhibits a pH-dependent transition between two different globular, conformations in slow exchange on the NMR chemical shift timescale similar, to BmorPBP, suggesting that the two proteins use the same mechanism of, ligand binding and ejection. The extensive sequence homology observed for, pheromone-binding proteins from moth species further implies that the, previously proposed mechanism of ligand ejection involving the insertion, of a C-terminal helix into the pheromone-binding site is a general feature, of pheromone signaling in moths.
