CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA PROTEIN 2 (RP2)
Overview
The crystal structure of human retinitis pigmentosa 2 protein (RP2) was, solved to 2.1 angstroms resolution. It consists of an N-terminal beta, helix and a C-terminal ferredoxin-like alpha/beta domain. RP2 is, functionally and structurally related to the tubulin-specific chaperone, cofactor C. Seven of nine known RP2 missense mutations identified in, patients are located in the beta helix domain, and most of them cluster to, the hydrophobic core and are likely to destabilize the protein. Two, residues, Glu138 and the catalytically important Arg118, are, solvent-exposed and form a salt bridge, indicating that Glu138 might be, critical for positioning Arg118 for catalysis. RP2 is a specific effector, protein of Arl3. The N-terminal 34 residues and beta helix domain of RP2, are required for ... [(full description)]
