OverviewOverview

We report herein the NMR structure of Tm0979, a structural proteomics, target from Thermotoga maritima. The Tm0979 fold consists of four, beta/alpha units, which form a central parallel beta-sheet with strand, order 1234. The first three helices pack toward one face of the sheet and, the fourth helix packs against the other face. The protein forms a dimer, by adjacent parallel packing of the fourth helices sandwiched between the, two beta-sheets. This fold is very interesting from several points of, view. First, it represents the first structure determination for the DsrH, family of conserved hypothetical proteins, which are involved in oxidation, of intracellular sulfur but have no defined molecular function. Based on, structure and sequence analysis, possible functions are discussed. Second, the fold of Tm0979 most closely resembles YchN-like folds; however the, proteins that adopt these folds differ in secondary structural elements, and quaternary structure. Comparison of these proteins provides insight, into possible mechanisms of evolution of quaternary structure through a, simple mechanism of hydrophobicity-changing mutations of one or two, residues. Third, the Tm0979 fold is found to be similar to flavodoxin-like, folds and beta/alpha barrel proteins, and may provide a link between these, very abundant folds and putative ancestral half-barrel proteins.
