TWO CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF THE CYTOPLASMIC MOLYBDATE-BINDING PROTEIN MODG SUGGEST A NOVEL COOPERATIVE BINDING MECHANISM AND PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO LIGAND-BINDING SPECIFICITY. PEG-GROWN FORM WITH MOLYBDATE BOUND
Overview
The X-ray structures of the cytoplasmic molybdate-binding protein ModG, from Azotobacter vinelandii in two different crystal forms have been, determined. For such a small protein it is remarkably complex. Each 14.3, kDa subunit contains two small beta-barrel domains, which display an, OB-fold motif, also seen in the related structure of ModE, a, molybdenum-dependent transcriptional regulator, and very recently in the, Mop protein that, like ModG, has been implicated in molybdenum homeostasis, within the cell. In contrast to earlier speculation, the functional unit, of ModG is actually not a dimer (as in ModE), but a trimer capable of, binding a total of eight molybdate molecules that are distributed between, two disparate types of site. All the binding sites are located at subunit, ... [(full description)]
