Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of human coactosin-like protein (CLP).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human coactosin-like protein (CLP) belongs to the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) family of actin-binding proteins. CLP interacts with 5-lipoxygenase (5LO) and filamentous actin (F-actin) via different binding sites. The full-length CLP comprising of 142 amino acids has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Crystals of CLP were obtained using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique with ammonium sulfate as precipitant at pH 8.5. Diffraction data to 1.9 A resolution were collected from a crystal belonging to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 25.6, b = 55.2, c = 37.4 A, beta = 96.0 degrees. There is one molecule per asymmetric unit.

Crystal structure of human coactosin-like protein at 1.9 A resolution.
Human coactosin-like protein (CLP) shares high homology with coactosin, a filamentous (F)-actin binding protein, and interacts with 5LO and F-actin. As a tumor antigen, CLP is overexpressed in tumor tissue cells or cell lines, and the encoded epitopes can be recognized by cellular and humoral immune systems. To gain a better understanding of its various functions and interactions with related p...
متن کاملRoles of coactosin-like protein (CLP) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) in cellular leukotriene biosynthesis.
5-Lipoxygenase (5LO) is a key enzyme in leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis. Two accessory proteins, coactosin-like protein (CLP) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP), can support 5LO activity. To study the roles of CLP and FLAP, we knocked down these proteins in the human monocytic cell line Mono Mac 6 (MM6). Expression of CLP increased MM6 cellular 5LO activity for all stimuli tested. CLP i...
متن کاملCoactosin-like protein functions as a stabilizing chaperone for 5-lipoxygenase: role of tryptophan 102.
The activity of 5-LO (5-lipoxygenase), which catalyses two initial steps in the biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory LTs (leukotrienes), is strictly regulated. One recently discovered factor, CLP (coactosin-like protein), binds 5-LO and promotes LT formation. In the present paper we report that CLP also stabilizes 5-LO and prevents non-turnover inactivation of the enzyme in vitro. Mutagenesis of tr...
متن کاملCloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the TIR domain from the Brucella melitensis TIR-domain-containing protein TcpB.
In mammals, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize conserved microbial molecular signatures and induce an early innate immune response in the host. TLR signalling is mediated by interactions between the cytosolic TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domains of the receptor and the adaptor proteins. Increasingly, it is apparent that pathogens target this interaction via pathogen-expressed TIR-domain-...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies on recombinant human carnitine acetyltransferase.
In this paper, the purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of human carnitine acetyltransferase are reported. Recombinant human carnitine acetyltransferase crystals were grown by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method and belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 137.65, b = 84.76, c = 57.65 A and one molecule per a...
