CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A 3D DOMAIN-SWAPPED DIMER OF BOVINE PANCREATIC RIBONUCLEASE A
|
OverviewOverview
The dimer of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) discovered by, Crestfield, Stein, and Moore in 1962 has been crystallized and its, structure determined and refined to a 2.1-A resolution. The dimer is 3D, domain-swapped. The N-terminal helix (residues 1-15) of each subunit is, swapped into the major domain (residues 23-124) of the other subunit. The, dimer of bull seminal ribonuclease (BS-RNase) is also known to be, domain-swapped, but the relationship of the subunits within the two dimers, is strikingly different. In the RNase A dimer, the 3-stranded beta sheets, of the two subunits are hydrogen-bonded at their edges to form a, continuous 6-stranded sheet across the dimer interface; in the BS-RNase, dimer, it is instead the two helices that abut. Whereas the BS-RNase dimer, has ... [(full description)]
