NMR STRUCTURE OF THE FIFTH DOMAIN OF HUMAN BETA2-GLYCOPROTEIN I
Contents |
Overview
To understand the mechanism of the interaction between human, beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)-GPI) and negatively charged phospholipids, we determined the three-dimensional solution structure of the fifth domain, of beta(2)-GPI by heteronuclear multidimensional NMR. The results showed, that the molecule is composed of well-defined four anti-parallel, beta-strands and two short alpha-helices, as well as a long highly, flexible loop. Backbone dynamic analysis demonstrated significant mobility, of the flexible loop on a subnanosecond time scale. Structural modeling of, the nicked fifth domain, in which the Lys317-Thr318 peptide bond was, specifically cleaved, revealed the importance of this long C-terminal loop, for the interaction between beta(2)-GPI and negatively charged, phospholipids. A titration experiment with the anionic surfactant SDS, showed that this highly mobile loop, as well as the short beta-hairpin, between betaC and betaD strands, which is rich in positively charged, residues, specifically interact with the surfactant. The mobile loop, together with the surrounding positively charged residues, probably, construct the binding site for negatively charged phospholipids such as, cardiolipin.
