CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE CYCLOPHILIN-LIKE DOMAIN FROM BRUGIA MALAYI COMPLEXED WITH CYCLOSPORIN A
Overview
The resistance of the human parasite Brugia malayi to the antiparasitic, activity of cyclosporin A (CsA) may arise from the presence of, cyclophilins with relatively low affinity for the drug. The structure of, the complex of B. malayi cyclophilin (BmCYP-1) and CsA, with eight, independent copies in the asymmetric unit, has been determined at a, resolution of 2.7 A. The low affinity of BmCYP-1 for CsA arises from, incomplete preorganization of the binding site so that the formation of a, hydrogen bond between His132 of BmCYP-1 and N-methylleucine 9 of CsA is, associated with a shift in the backbone of approximately 1 A in this, region.
