CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF MOUSE MAJOR URINARY PROTEIN (MUP-I) COMPLEXED WITH HYDROXY-METHYL-HEPTANONE
OverviewOverview
The mouse major urinary proteins are pheromone-binding proteins that, function as carriers of volatile effectors of mouse physiology and, behavior. Crystal structures of recombinant mouse major urinary protein-I, (MUP-I) complexed with the synthetic pheromones, 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole and 6-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-heptanone, have, been determined at high resolution. The purification of MUP-I from mouse, liver and a high-resolution structure of the natural isolate are also, reported. These results show the binding of 6-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-heptanone, to MUP-I, unambiguously define ligand orientations for two pheromones, within the MUP-I binding site, and suggest how different chemical classes, of pheromones can be accommodated within the MUP-I beta-barrel.
