Publication Abstract from PubMed The physiological relevance of contacts in crystal lattices often remains elusive. This was also the case for the complex between the invasion protein internalin B (InlB) from Listeria monocytogenes and its host cell receptor, the human receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) MET. InlB is aMET agonist and induces bacterialhost cell invasion.Activation of RTKs generally involves ligand-induced dimerization of the receptor ectodomain. The two currently available crystal structures of the InlB:MET complex show the same arrangement of InlB and MET in a 1:1 complex, but different dimeric 2:2 assemblies. Only one of these 2:2 assemblies is predicted to be stable by a computational procedure. This assembly is mainly stabilized by a contact between the Cap domain of InlB from one and the Sema domain of MET from another 1:1 complex.Here, we probe the physiological relevance of this interaction. We generatedvariants of the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein InlBby inserting an additional repeat between the first and the second LRR. This should allow formation of the 1:1 complex but disrupt the potential 2:2 complex involving the Cap-Sema contact due to steric distortions. A crystal structure of oneof the engineered proteins showed that it folded properly. Binding affinityto MET was comparable to that of wild-type InlB. The InlB variant induced MET phosphorylation and cell scatter like wild-type InlB.Theseresults suggestthat the Cap-Sema interaction is not physiologically relevant and support the previously proposed assembly, in which a 2:2 InlB-MET complex is built around a ligand dimer. Engineered variants of InlB with an additional leucine-rich repeat discriminate between physiologically relevant and packing contacts in crystal structures of the InlB:MET complex.,Niemann HH, Gherardi E, Bleymuller WM, Heinz DW Protein Sci. 2012 Aug 10. doi: 10.1002/pro.2142.
