CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE BACILLUS SUBTILIS HSP33

OverviewOverview

The bacterial heat shock protein Hsp33 is a redox-regulated chaperone, activated by oxidative stress. In response to oxidation, four cysteines, within a Zn2+ binding C-terminal domain form two disulfide bonds with, concomitant release of the metal. This leads to the formation of the, biologically active Hsp33 dimer. The crystal structure of the N-terminal, domain of the E. coli protein has been reported, but neither the structure, of the Zn2+ binding motif nor the nature of its regulatory interaction, with the rest of the protein are known. Here we report the crystal, structure of the full-length B. subtilis Hsp33 in the reduced form. The, structure of the N-terminal, dimerization domain is similar to that of the, E. coli protein, although there is no domain swapping. The Zn2+ binding, ... [(full description)]
