2.1 A RESOLUTION STRUCTURE OF ESCHERICHIA COLI LYTIC TRANSGLYCOSYLASE SLT35
OverviewOverview
The Escherichia coli lytic transglycosylase Slt35 contains a single metal, ion-binding site that resembles EF-hand calcium-binding sites. The Slt35, EF-hand is only the second observation of such a domain in a prokaryotic, protein. Two crystal structures at 2.1 A resolution show that both Ca2+, ions and Na+ ions can bind to the EF-hand domain, but in subtly different, configurations. Heat-induced unfolding studies demonstrate that Ca2+ ions, are preferentially bound, and that only Ca2+ ions significantly increase, the melting temperature of Slt35. This shows that the EF-hand, calcium-binding domain is important for the stability of Slt35.
