Structure of the trigonal crystal form of bovine annexin IV.

ABSTRACT: The structure of a trigonal crystal form of N-terminally truncated [des-(1-9)] bovine annexin IV, an annexin variant that exhibits the distinctive property of binding both phospholipids and carbohydrates in a Ca2+-dependent manner, has been determined at 3 A (0.3 nm) resolution -space group: R3; cell parameters: a=b=118.560 (8) A and c=82.233 (6) A-. The overall structure of annexin IV, crystallized in the absence of Ca2+ ions, is highly homologous to that of the other known members of the annexin family. The trimeric assembly in the trigonal crystals of annexin IV is quite similar to that found previously in non-isomorphous crystals of human, chicken and rat annexin V and to the subunit arrangement in half of the hexamer of hydra annexin XII. Moreover, it resembles that found in two-dimensional crystals of human annexin V bound to phospholipid monolayers. The propensity of several annexins to generate similar trimeric arrays supports the hypothesis that trimeric complexes of such annexins, including annexin IV, may represent the functional units that interact with membranes.

Crystal structure of the secretory form of membrane-associated human carbonic anhydrase IV at 2.8-A resolution.

Project description:It has recently been demonstrated that the C-terminal deletion mutant of recombinant human carbonic anhydrase IV (G267X CA IV) converts the normally glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored enzyme into a soluble secretory form which has the same catalytic properties as the membrane-associated enzyme purified from human tissues. We have determined the three-dimensional structure of the secretory form of human CA IV by x-ray crystallographic methods to a resolution of 2.8 A. Although the zinc binding site and the hydrophobic substrate binding pocket of CA IV are generally similar to those of other mammalian isozymes, unique structural differences are found elsewhere in the active site. Two disufide linkages, Cys-6-Cys-11G and Cys-23-Cys-203, stabilize the conformation of the N-terminal domain. The latter disulfide additionally stabilizes an active site loop containing a cis-peptide linkage between Pro-201 and Thr-202 (this loop contains catalytic residue Thr-199). On the opposite side of the active site, the Val-131-Asp-136 segment adopts an extended loop conformation instead of an alpha-helix conformation as found in other isozymes. Finally, the C terminus is surrounded by a substantial electropositive surface potential, which is likely to stabilize the interaction of CA IV with the negatively charged phospholipid headgroups of the membrane. These structural features are unique to CA IV and provide a framework for the design of sulfonamide inhibitors selective for this particular isozyme.

Crystal structure of ammonium divanadium(IV,V) tellurium(IV) hepta-oxide.

Project description:The polyhedral building blocks of the layered inorganic network in the mixed-valence title compound, (NH4)(V(IV)O2)(V(V)O2)(TeO3), are vertex-sharing V(V)O4 tetra-hedra, distorted V(IV)O6 octa-hedra and TeO3 pyramids, which are linked by V-O-V and V-O-Te bonds, forming double layers lying parallel to (100). The presumed Te(IV) lone-pairs of electrons appear to be directed inwards into cavities in the double layers. The charge-balancing ammonium cations lie between the layers and probably inter-act with them via N-H?O hydrogen bonds.

The crystal structure of modified bovine fibrinogen.

Project description:Here we report the crystal structure at approximately 4-A resolution of a selectively proteolyzed bovine fibrinogen. This key component in hemostasis is an elongated 340-kDa glycoprotein in the plasma that upon activation by thrombin self-assembles to form the fibrin clot. The crystals are unusual because they are made up of end-to-end bonded molecules that form flexible filaments. We have visualized the entire coiled-coil region of the molecule, which has a planar sigmoidal shape. The primary polymerization receptor pockets at the ends of the molecule face the same way throughout the end-to-end bonded filaments, and based on this conformation, we have developed an improved model of the two-stranded protofibril that is the basic building block in fibrin. Near the middle of the coiled-coil region, the plasmin-sensitive segment is a hinge about which the molecule adopts different conformations. This segment also includes the boundary between the three- and four-stranded portions of the coiled coil, indicating the location on the backbone that anchors the extended flexible Aalpha arm. We suggest that a flexible branch point in the molecule may help accommodate variability in the structure of the fibrin clot.

Project description:The structure of cerium(IV) bis-(phosphite), Ce(HPO3)2, has been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and has trigonal (P-3m1) symmetry. The cerium(IV) cation exhibits site symmetry -3m. and is octa-hedrally coordinated by O atoms of the phosphite ligands (point group symmetry 3m.). The highly symmetrical compound has a layered structure parallel to the ab plane, and is closely related to zirconium(IV) bis-(phosphite) solved via powder X-ray diffraction with trigonal (P-3 symmetry. Structural details of the two compounds are comparatively discussed.

Crystal structure of dilead(II) oxochromate(VI) oxotellurate(IV).

Project description:Reaction of chromium(III) precursors with TeO2 in PbF2/PbO melts in air led to oxidation of chromium(III) to chromium(VI), whereas tellurium remained its oxidation state of IV. In the resulting title compound, Pb2(CrO4)(TeO3), the two types of anions are isolated from each other, hence a double salt is formed. The two independent Pb2+ cations exhibit coordination number nine under formation of very distorted coordination polyhedra [bond-length range = 2.363 (6)-3.276 (7) Å]. The oxochromate(VI) and oxotellurate(IV) anions have tetra-hedral and trigonal-pyramidal configurations, respectively. In the crystal structure, (001) layers of metal cations alternate with layers of TeO32- and CrO42- anions along [001], forming a three-dimensional framework structure. Pb2(CrO4)(TeO3) is isotypic with its sulfate analogue Pb2(SO4)(TeO3) and is comparatively discussed.

Crystal structure of bovine CD1b3 with endogenously bound ligands.

Project description:The CD1 family of Ag-presenting molecules is able to display lipids to T cells by binding them within a hydrophobic groove connected to the protein surface. In particular, the CD1b isotype is capable of binding ligands with greatly varying alkyl chain lengths through a complex network of interconnected hydrophobic pockets. Interestingly, mycobacterial lipids such as glucose monomycolate exclusively bind to CD1b. We determined the crystal structure of one of the three expressed bovine CD1b proteins, CD1b3, in complex with endogenous ligands, identified by mass spectrometry as a mixture of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, and analyzed the ability of the protein to bind glycolipids in vitro. The structure reveals a complex binding groove architecture, similar to the human ortholog but with consequential differences. Intriguingly, in bovine CD1b3 only the A', C' and F' pockets are present, whereas the T' pocket previously described in human CD1b is closed. This different pocket conformation could affect the ability of boCD1b3 to recognize lipids with long acyl chains such as glucose monomycolate. However, even in the absence of a T' tunnel, bovine CD1b3 is able to bind mycolates from Rhodococcus ruber in vitro.

Crystal structure of bovine coronavirus spike protein lectin domain.

Project description:The spike protein N-terminal domains (NTDs) of bovine coronavirus (BCoV) and mouse hepatitis coronavirus (MHV) recognize sugar and protein receptors, respectively, despite their significant sequence homology. We recently determined the crystal structure of MHV NTD complexed with its protein receptor murine carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), which surprisingly revealed a human galectin (galactose-binding lectin) fold in MHV NTD. Here, we have determined at 1.55 Å resolution the crystal structure of BCoV NTD, which also has the human galectin fold. Using mutagenesis, we have located the sugar-binding site in BCoV NTD, which overlaps with the galactose-binding site in human galectins. Using a glycan array screen, we have identified 5-N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid as the preferred sugar substrate for BCoV NTD. Subtle structural differences between BCoV and MHV NTDs, primarily involving different conformations of receptor-binding loops, explain why BCoV NTD does not bind CEACAM1 and why MHV NTD does not bind sugar. These results suggest a successful viral evolution strategy in which coronaviruses stole a galectin from hosts, incorporated it into their spike protein, and evolved it into viral receptor-binding domains with altered sugar specificity in contemporary BCoV or novel protein specificity in contemporary MHV.

X-ray crystal structure of bovine 3 Glu-osteocalcin.

Project description:The 3 Glu form of osteocalcin (3 Glu-OCN) is increased in serum during low vitamin K intake or oral anticoagulant use (warfarin). Previous reports using circular dichroism show it is less structured than 3 Gla Ca²⁺-osteocalcin and does not bind strongly to bone mineral. Recent studies have suggested a role for 3 Glu-OCN as a potential regulator of glucose metabolism. A G-protein-coupled receptor, GPRC6a, found in the pancreas and testes was identified as the putative osteocalcin receptor. The purpose of this study is to determine the high-resolution structure of bovine 3 Glu-OCN, using X-ray crystallography, to understand molecular interactions with mineral and the GPRC6a receptor. Diffraction quality crystals of thermally decarboxylated bovine osteocalcin were grown, and the crystal structure was determined to 1.88 Å resolution. The final refined structure contained residues 17-47 and, like 3 Gla Ca²⁺-OCN, consisted of three α-helices surrounding a hydrophobic core, a C23-C29 disulfide bond between two of the helices, and no bound Ca²⁺. Thus, the helical structure of 3 Glu-OCN is Ca²⁺-independent but similar to that of 3 Gla Ca²⁺-OCN. A reduced level of mineral binding could result from a lower number of Ca²⁺ coordinating ligands on 3 Glu-OCN. The structure suggests the GPRC6a receptor may respond to helical osteocalcin and will aid in providing molecular mechanistic insight into the role of 3 Glu-OCN in glucose homeostasis.

Crystal structure of a mixed solvated form of amoxapine acetate.

Project description:The mixed solvated salt 4-(2-chloro-dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepin-11-yl)piperazin-1-ium acetate-acetic acid-cyclo-hexane (2/2/1), C17H17ClN3O(+)·C2H3O2 (-)·C2H4O2·0.5C6H12, crystallizes with one mol-ecule of protonated amoxapine (AXPN), an acetate anion and a mol-ecule of acetic acid together with half a mol-ecule of cyclo-hexane. In the centrosymmetric crystal, both enanti-omers of the protonated AXPN mol-ecule stack alternatively along [001]. Acetate anions connect the AXPN cations through N-H?O hydrogen bonding in the [010] direction, creating a sheet lying parallel to (100). The acetic acid mol-ecules are linked to the acetate anions via O-H?O hydrogen bonds within the sheets. Within the sheets there are also a number of C-H?O hydrogen bonds present. The cyclo-hexane solvent mol-ecules occupy the space between the sheets.
