BIOCHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A DIVERGENT LOOP CYCLOPHILIN FROM CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
OverviewOverview
Cyclophilin 3 (CYP-3) is one of the most abundantly expressed cyclophilin, isoforms in the free living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The detailed, post-embryonic expression pattern of the cyp-3 transcript is unusual, peaking during early larval development. The spatial expression pattern, was examined via reporter gene analysis demonstrating that the cyp-3, transcript is exclusively expressed in the single anterior excretory cell., Recombinant cyclophilin 3 has been purified, crystallized and solved to a, resolution of 1.8 A. The peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity of CYP-3 has, been characterized against the substrate, N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide, and gives a k(cat)/K(m) value, of 2.4 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1). The immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A binds, and inhibits CYP-3 with an IC(50) value of 16 nM, comparable with the, range of values found for human cyclophilin A. The x-ray structure shows, that the overall fold and active site geometry is similar to other, cyclophilin structures. There are however a number of distinctive, features, and we use this structure and amino acid sequence alignment, analysis to identify a subgroup of "divergent-loop cyclophilins". This, subgroup has a number of uniquely conserved features: an additional loop, between residues 48 and 54 (KSGKPLH); two cysteine residues (Cys(40) and, Cys(168)) that are in close proximity but remain in the unoxidized form, and two other conserved residues, His(54) and Glu(83). We suggest that, these features are functionally important for the role played by this, class of cyclophilins during cellular responses to stress caused by, changes in the redox environment or by up-regulation of cellular activity., This study represents a detailed biological, biochemical, and structural, characterization of a single cyclophilin isoform in the model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans.
