X-ray Structure of DsbC from Haemophilus influenzae
OverviewOverview
Bacterial DsbC proteins are involved in rearranging or reducing mismatched, disulfide bonds folding within the periplasm. The X-ray structure of the, enzyme from Haemophilus influenzae has been solved and compared with the, known structure of the Escherichia coli protein. The proteins act as, V-shaped dimers with a large cleft to accommodate substrate proteins. The, dimers are anchored by a small N-terminal domain, but have a flexible, linker region which allows the larger C-terminal domain, with its reactive, sulfhydryls, to clamp down on substrates. The overall folds are very, similar, but the comparison shows a wider range of hinge motions than, previously thought. The crystal packing of the H. influenzae protein, allows the movement of the N-terminal domain with respect to the, C-terminal domain through motions in the flexible hinge, generating high, thermal parameters and unusually high anisotropy in the crystallographic, data.
