Crystal structure of a dodecameric tetrahedral-shaped aminopeptidase.
Protein turnover is an essential process in living cells. The degradation of cytosolic polypeptides is mainly carried out by the proteasome, resulting in 7-9-amino acid long peptides. Further degradation is usually carried out by energy-independent proteases like the tricorn protease from Thermoplasma acidophilum. Recently, a novel tetrahedral-shaped dodecameric 480-kDa aminopeptidase complex (...
متن کاملMonomer structure of a hyperthermophilic β-glucosidase mutant forming a dodecameric structure in the crystal form
One of the β-glucosidases from Pyrococcus furiosus (BGLPf) is found to be a hyperthermophilic tetrameric enzyme that can degrade cellooligosaccharides. Recently, the crystal structures of the tetrameric and dimeric forms were solved. Here, a new monomeric form of BGLPf was constructed by removing the C-terminal region of the enzyme and its crystal structure was solved at a resolution of 2.8 Å i...
متن کاملCrystal structure of dodecameric vanadium-dependent bromoperoxidase from the red algae Corallina officinalis.
The three-dimensional structure of the vanadium bromoperoxidase protein from the marine red macroalgae Corallina officinalis has been determined by single isomorphous replacement at 2.3 A resolution. The enzyme subunit is made up of 595 amino acid residues folded into a single alpha+beta domain. There are 12 bromoperoxidase subunits, arranged with 23-point group symmetry. A cavity is formed by ...
متن کاملComparative studies on the dodecameric and hexameric forms of yeast aminopeptidase I.
Yeast aminopeptidase I, when purified from autolysates of brewer's yeast, is obtained in two molecular froms a) the enzymatically active dodecameric complex (Mr = 640,000, s20,w = 22 S) and b) inactive hexamers (Mr = 320,000, s20,w = 12 S). Although the amino acid composition of the 12 S protein is very similar to that of the active enzyme,the hexamers behave differently in ionic exchange chrom...
متن کاملThe stability of a crystal with diamond structure for patchy particles with tetrahedral symmetry.
The phase diagram of model anisotropic particles with four attractive patches in a tetrahedral arrangement has been computed at two different values of the range of the potential, with the aim of investigating the conditions under which a diamond crystal can be formed. We find that the diamond phase is never stable for our longer-ranged potential. At low temperatures and pressures, the fluid fr...
