DIFFERENCES IN THE METAL ION STRUCTURE BETWEEN SR-AND CA-PROTHROMBIN FRAGMENT 1
OverviewOverview
The structure of Sr-prothrombin fragment 1 has been solved and refined by, restrained least-squares methods at 2.5-A resolution to a crystallographic, R value of 0.167. The protein structure is very similar to that of, Ca-fragment 1. A polymeric array of five Sr2+ ions separated by about 4.0, A is buried among six gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) residues; three, other Sr2+ ions interact with other Gla residues and are located further, apart. One of these was not found in the Ca-fragment 1 structure. The, coordination of the Sr2+ ions resembles that of Ca2+, but there are some, significant differences between them. The most notable is the lack of, water coordination with Sr2+ ions and two conformations for Gla 8, which, change the coordination of Sr-2 and Sr-3. A hexose moiety of an, oligosaccharide was located in the vicinity of Asn101 that was flexibly, disordered in Ca-fragment 1. The new Sr2+ ion found may be involved in, metal ion phospholipid binding interactions along with Sr-1, and Sr-7, Sr-8.
