CYANOVIRIN-N DOUBLE MUTANT P51S S52P
Overview
Cyanovirin-N (CV-N) is a potent 11 kDa HIV-inactivating protein that binds, with high affinity to the HIV surface envelope protein gp120. A double, mutant P51S/S52P of CV-N was engineered by swapping two critical, hinge-region residues Pro51 and Ser52. This mutant has biochemical and, biophysical characteristics equivalent to the wild-type CV-N and its, structure resembles that of wild-type CV-N. However, the mutant shows a, different orientation in the hinge region that connects two domains of the, protein. The observation that this double mutant crystallizes under a wide, variety of conditions challenges some of the current hypotheses on domain, swapping and on the role of hinge-region proline residues in domain, orientation. The current structure contributes to the understanding of, domain swapping in cyanovirins, permitting rational design of, domain-swapped CV-N mutants.
