CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BNSP-7, A LYS49-PHOSPHOLIPASE A2
OverviewOverview
Phospholipases A(2) are components of Bothrops venoms responsible for, disruption of cell membrane integrity via hydrolysis of its phospholipids., A class of PLA(2)-like proteins has been described which despite PLA(2), activity on artificial substrate, due to a D49K mutation, is still highly, myonecrotic. This work reports the X-ray structure determination of two, Lys49-PLA(2)s from Bothrops neuwiedi pauloensis (BnSP-7 and BnSP-6) and, for the first time, the comparison of eight dimeric Lys49-PLA(2)s. This, comparison reveals that there are not just two ("open" and "closed") but, at least six different conformations. The binding of fatty acid observed, in three recent Lys49-PLA(2) structures seems to be independent of their, quaternary conformation. Cys29 polarization by Lys122 is not significant, for BnSP-7 and BnSP-6 or other structures not bound by fatty acids. These, structures may be in an "active" state when nothing is bound to them and, the Lys122/Cys29 interactions are weak or absent.
