Publication Abstract from PubMed

The well-studied B-domain from Staphylococcal protein A is a 59 amino acid three-helix bundle that binds the Fc portion of IgG with a dissociation constant of ~35 nM. The B-domain variant bearing a Gly to Ala mutation (=Z-domain) has been the subject of efforts to minimize a domain's size while retaining its function. We report X-ray crystallographic characterization of three steps in such a process using complexes with Fc: the full three-helix Z-domain, a 34 amino acid two-helix version called Z34C and a 13 amino acid single helix stabilized with an exo-helix tether, called LH1.
