The structure of the orthorhombic form of soft-shelled turtle lysozyme at 1.9 angstroms resolution
OverviewOverview
The crystal structures of pheasant and guinea fowl lysozymes have been, determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Guinea fowl lysozyme crystallizes, in space group P6(1)22 with cell dimensions a = 89.2 A and c = 61.7 A. The, structure was refined to a final crystallographic R-factor of 17.0% for, 8,854 observed reflections in the resolution range 6-1.9 A. Crystals of, pheasant lysozyme are tetragonal, space group P4(3)2(1)2, with a = 98.9 A, c = 69.3 A and 2 molecules in the asymmetric unit. The final R-factor is, 17.8% to 2.1 A resolution. The RMS deviation from ideality is 0.010 A for, bond lengths and 2.5 degrees for bond angles in both models. Three amino, acid positions beneath the active site are occupied by Thr 40, Ile 55, and, Ser 91 in hen, pheasant, and other avian lysozymes, and by Ser 40, Val 55, and Thr 91 in guinea fowl and American quail lysozymes. In spite of their, internal location, the structural changes associated with these, substitutions are small. The pheasant enzyme has an additional N-terminal, glycine residue, probably resulting from an evolutionary shift in the site, of cleavage of prelysozyme. In the 3-dimensional structure, this amino, acid partially fills a cleft on the surface of the molecule, close to the, C alpha atom of Gly 41 and absent in lysozymes from other species (which, have a large side-chain residue at position 41: Gln, His, Arg, or Lys)., The overall structures are similar to those of other c-type lysozymes, with the largest deviations occurring in surface loops. Comparison of the, unliganded and antibody-bound models of pheasant lysozyme suggests that, surface complementarity of contacting surfaces in the antigen-antibody, complex is the result of local, small rearrangements in the epitope., Structural evidence based upon this and other complexes supports the, notion that antigenic variation in c-type lysozymes is primarily the, result of amino acid substitutions, not of gross structural changes.
