Crystal structure of human cytoglobin at 1.68 angstroms resolution

Overview

Cytoglobin (Cgb) is a recently discovered member of the vertebrate, haem-containing globin family. The structure of a new crystal form of, wild-type human Cgb (space group C2) was determined at a resolution of, 1.68 Angstrom. The results show the presence of an additional helix in the, N-terminal residues (4-20) prior to the A helix and an ordered loop, structure in the C-terminal region (168-188), while these extended, peptides were invisible owing to disorder in the previously reported, structures using a P3(2)21 crystal at a resolution of 2.4 Angstrom. A, detailed comparison of the two crystal structures shows differences in the, conformation of the residues (i.e. Arg84) in the haem environment owing to, a different dimeric arrangement.
