CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BASIC FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR AT 1.6 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
|
OverviewOverview
We have determined the crystal structures of two types of human basic, fibroblast growth factor, the serine analogue and the wild-type, at 1.6, and 2.5 A resolution, respectively. Two good heavy atom derivatives were, found and used for multiple isomorphous replacement phasing. The atomic, coordinates were refined using the Hendrickson & Konnert program for, stereochemically restrained refinement against structure factors. The, crystallographic R factors were reduced to 15.3% for the serine analogue, structure and 16.0% for the wild-type structure. The serine analogue and, wild-type structures have been found to be almost identical, the, root-mean-square deviation between the corresponding C alpha atoms being, 0.11 A. Their structures are composed of twelve beta-strands forming a, barrel and three loops. Their molecules have an approximate threefold, internal symmetry and are similar in architecture to that of interleukin-1, beta. A possible heparin-binding site, which comprises five basic, residues, Lys119, Arg120, Lys125, Lys129, and Lys135, has been revealed by, calculating the electrostatic potential energy.
