Structural highlights 4tn3 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia virus T4 and Macaca mulatta. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.

Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 3.1989Å Ligands: Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function G9MAP5_MACMU ENLYS_BPT4 Endolysin with lysozyme activity that degrades host peptidoglycans and participates with the holin and spanin proteins in the sequential events which lead to the programmed host cell lysis releasing the mature viral particles. Once the holin has permeabilized the host cell membrane, the endolysin can reach the periplasm and break down the peptidoglycan layer. Publication Abstract from PubMed Restriction factors (RFs) form important components of host defenses to retroviral infection. The Fv1, Trim5alpha, and TrimCyp RFs contain N-terminal dimerization and C-terminal specificity domains that target assembled retroviral capsid (CA) proteins enclosing the viral core. However, the molecular detail of the interaction between RFs and their CA targets is unknown. Therefore, we have determined the crystal structure of the B-box and coiled-coil (BCC) region from Trim5alpha and used small-angle X-ray scattering to examine the solution structure of Trim5alpha BCC, the dimerization domain of Fv1 (Fv1Ntd), and the hybrid restriction factor Fv1Cyp comprising Fv1NtD fused to the HIV-1 binding protein Cyclophilin A (CypA). These data reveal that coiled-coil regions of Fv1 and Trim5alpha form extended antiparallel dimers. In Fv1Cyp, two CypA moieties are located at opposing ends, creating a molecule with a dumbbell appearance. In Trim5alpha, the B-boxes are located at either end of the coiled-coil, held in place by interactions with a helical motif from the L2 region of the opposing monomer. A comparative analysis of Fv1Cyp and CypA binding to a preformed HIV-1 CA lattice reveals how RF dimerization enhances the affinity of interaction through avidity effects. We conclude that the antiparallel organization of the NtD regions of Fv1 and Trim5alpha dimers correctly positions C-terminal specificity and N-terminal effector domains and facilitates stable binding to adjacent CA hexamers in viral cores. Structural studies of postentry restriction factors reveal antiparallel dimers that enable avid binding to the HIV-1 capsid lattice.,Goldstone DC, Walker PA, Calder LJ, Coombs PJ, Kirkpatrick J, Ball NJ, Hilditch L, Yap MW, Rosenthal PB, Stoye JP, Taylor IA Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014 Jul 1;111(26):9609-14. doi:, 10.1073/pnas.1402448111.
