CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC REFINEMENT OF HUMAN SERUM RETINOL BINDING PROTEIN AT 2 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTIONCRYSTALLOGRAPHIC REFINEMENT OF HUMAN SERUM RETINOL BINDING PROTEIN AT 2 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION

Structural highlights 1rbp is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2Å Ligands: Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease RET4_HUMAN Defects in RBP4 are a cause of retinol-binding protein deficiency (RBP deficiency) [MIM:180250. This condition causes night vision problems. It produces a typical 'fundus xerophthalmicus', featuring a progressed atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. Function RET4_HUMAN Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin, this prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Human serum retinol binding protein (RBP) in complex with retinol has been crystallographically refined to an R-factor of 18.1% with 2A resolution data. The protein topology results in an anti-parallel beta-barrel that encapsulates the retinol ligand. A detailed description of the protein and the binding site is provided. Our structural work has helped to define a family of proteins, many of which are carrier proteins for smaller ligand molecules. We describe the structural basis for the conservation of sequence within the family.
