MAPPING PROTEIN MATRIX CAVITIES IN HUMAN CYTOGLOBIN THROUGH XE ATOM BINDING: A CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION
OverviewOverview
Cytoglobin is the fourth recognized globin type, almost ubiquitously, distributed in human tissues; its function is still poorly understood., Cytoglobin displays a core region of about 150 residues, structurally, related to hemoglobin and myoglobin, and two extra segments, about 20, residues each, at the N- and C-termini. The core region hosts a large, apolar cavity, held to provide a ligand diffusion pathway to/from the, heme, and/or ligand temporary docking sites. Here we report the crystal, structure (2.4A resolution, R-factor 19.1%) of a human cytoglobin mutant, bearing the CysB2(38) --> Ser and CysE9(83) --> Ser substitutions (CYGB*), treated under pressurized xenon. Three Xe atoms bind to the heme distal, site region of CYGB* mapping the protein matrix apolar cavity. Despite the, conserved globin fold, the cavity found in CYGB* is structured differently, from those recognized to play a functional role in myoglobin, neuroglobin, truncated hemoglobins, and Cerebratulus lacteus mini-hemoglobin.
