The crystal structures of two group III alpha-like toxins from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch, BmK M1 and BmK M4, were determined at 1.7 A and 1.3 A resolution and refined to R factors of 0.169 and 0.166, respectively. The first high-resolution structures of the alpha-like scorpion toxin show some striking features compared with structures of the "classical" alpha-toxin. Firstly, a non-proline cis peptide bond between residues 9 and 10 unusually occurs in the five-member reverse turn 8-12. Secondly, the cis peptide 9-10 mediates the spatial relationship between the turn 8-12 and the C-terminal stretch 58-64 through a pair of main-chain hydrogen bonds between residues 10 and 64 to form a unique tertiary arrangement which features the special orientation of the terminal residues 62-64. Finally, in consequence of the peculiar orientation of the C-terminal residues, the functional groups of Arg58, which are crucial for the toxin-receptor interaction, are exposed and accessible in BmK M1 and M4 rather than buried as in the classical alpha-toxins. Sequence alignment and characteristics analysis suggested that the above structural features observed in BmK M1 and M4 occur in all group III alpha-like toxins. Recently, some group III alpha-like toxins were demonstrated to occupy a receptor site different from the classical alpha-toxin. Therefore, the distinct structural features of BmK M1 and M4 presented here may provide the structural basis for the newly recognized toxin-receptor binding site selectivity.

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 PubMedThe crystal structures of two group III alpha-like toxins from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch, BmK M1 and BmK M4, were determined at 1.7 A and 1.3 A resolution and refined to R factors of 0.169 and 0.166, respectively. The first high-resolution structures of the alpha-like scorpion toxin show some striking features compared with structures of the "classical" alpha-toxin. Firstly, a non-proline cis peptide bond between residues 9 and 10 unusually occurs in the five-member reverse turn 8-12. Secondly, the cis peptide 9-10 mediates the spatial relationship between the turn 8-12 and the C-terminal stretch 58-64 through a pair of main-chain hydrogen bonds between residues 10 and 64 to form a unique tertiary arrangement which features the special orientation of the terminal residues 62-64. Finally, in consequence of the peculiar orientation of the C-terminal residues, the functional groups of Arg58, which are crucial for the toxin-receptor interaction, are exposed and accessible in BmK M1 and M4 rather than buried as in the classical alpha-toxins. Sequence alignment and characteristics analysis suggested that the above structural features observed in BmK M1 and M4 occur in all group III alpha-like toxins. Recently, some group III alpha-like toxins were demonstrated to occupy a receptor site different from the classical alpha-toxin. Therefore, the distinct structural features of BmK M1 and M4 presented here may provide the structural basis for the newly recognized toxin-receptor binding site selectivity. Besides, the non-proline cis peptide bonds found in these two structures play a role in the formation of the structural characteristics and in keeping accurate positions of the functionally crucial residues. This manifested a way to achieve high levels of molecular specificity and atomic precision through the strained backbone geometry.
