Crystal Structure of the R132K:Y134F Mutant of Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein Type II in Complex with All-Trans-Retinal at 1.69 Angstroms Resolution
OverviewOverview
Rational redesign of the binding pocket of Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding, Protein II (CRABPII) has provided a mutant that can bind retinal as a, protonated Schiff base, mimicking the binding observed in rhodopsin. The, reengineering was accomplished through a series of choreographed, manipulations to ultimately orient the reactive species (the epsilon-amino, group of Lys132 and the carbonyl of retinal) in the proper geometry for, imine formation. The guiding principle was to achieve the appropriate, Burgi-Dunitz trajectory for the reaction to ensue. Through, crystallographic analysis of protein mutants incapable of forming the, requisite Schiff base, a highly ordered water molecule was identified as a, key culprit in orienting retinal in a nonconstructive manner. Removal of, the ordered water, along with placing reinforcing mutations to favor the, desired orientation of retinal, led to a triple mutant CRABPII protein, capable of nanomolar binding of retinal as a protonated Schiff base. The, high-resolution crystal structure of all-trans-retinal bound to the, CRABPII triple mutant (1.2 A resolution) unequivocally illustrates the, imine formed between retinal and the protein.
