The comparison of monomeric and dimeric diphtheria toxin (DT) reveals a mode for protein association which we call domain swapping. structure DT has been extensively refined against data to 2.0-A resolution three-residue loop corrected as compared with our published 2.5-A-resolution structure. also determined, at 2.3-A resolution. Monomeric is Y-shaped molecule three domains: catalytic (C), transmembrane (T), receptor binding (R). Upon freezing in phosphate buffer, forms long-lived,...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in prostate cancer cells and nonprostatic solid tumor neovasculature a target for anticancer imaging therapeutic agents. PSMA acts as glutamate carboxypeptidase (GCPII) on small molecule substrates, including folate, the drug methotrexate, neuropeptide N -acetyl- l -aspartyl- -glutamate. Here we present 3.5-Å crystal structure of ectodomain, which reveals homodimer with structural similarity to transferrin receptor, receptor...
The transferrin receptor (TfR) interacts with two proteins important for iron metabolism, (Tf) and HFE, the protein mutated in hereditary hemochromatosis. A second Tf, TfR2, was recently identified found to be functional uptake transfected cells (Kawabata, H., Germain, R. S., Vuong, P. T., Nakamaki, Said, J. W., Koeffler, H. (2000) Biol. Chem. 275, 16618-16625). TfR2 has a pattern of expression regulation that is distinct from TfR, mutations have been recognized as cause non-HFE linked form...

Abstract The structure of toxic monomeric diphtheria toxin (DT) was determined at 2.3 Å resolution by molecular replacement based on the domain structures in dimeric DT and refined to an R factor 20.7%. model consists 2 monomers asymmetric unit (1,046 amino acid residues), including bound adenylyl 3′‐5′ uridine 3′ monophosphate molecules 396 water molecules. 3 domains are virtually identical DT; however, is compact globular as compared “open” monomer within (Bennett MJ, Choe S, Eisenberg D,...
Abstract The refined structure of dimeric diphtheria toxin (DT) at 2.0 Å resolution, based on 37,727 unique reflections ( F > 1σ( )), yields a final R factor 19.5% with model obeying standard geometry. consists 523 amino acid residues, 1 molecule the bound dinucleotide inhibitor adenylyl 3′‐5′ uridine 3′ monophosphate (ApUp), and 405 well‐ordered water molecules. 2.0‐Å reveals that binding motif for ApUp includes residues in catalytic receptor‐binding domains is different from Rossmann...
Huntington's disease and several other neurological diseases are caused by expanded polyglutamine [poly(Gln)] tracts in different proteins. Mechanisms for (>36 Gln residues) poly(Gln) toxicity include the formation of aggregates that recruit sequester essential cellular proteins [Preisinger, E., Jordan, B. M., Kazantsev, A. & Housman, D. (1999) Phil. Trans. R. Soc. London B 354, 1029–1034; Chen, S., Berthelier, V., Yang, W. Wetzel, (2001) J. Mol. Biol. 311, 173–182] functional...
Background: Mammalian 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3α-HSDs) modulate the activities of steroid hormones by reversibly reducing their C3 ketone groups. In target tissues, 3α-HSDs act on 5α-dihydrotestosterone, a potent male sex hormone (androgen) implicated in benign prostate hyperplasia and cancer. Rat liver 3α-HSD belongs to aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily provides model for mammalian 3α-, 17β- 20α-HSDs, which share >65% sequence identity. The determination structure complex with...

Rat liver 3α-hydroxysteroid/dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) inactivates circulating steroid hormones and is involved in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) carcinogenesis. It the only HSD of known structure aldo−keto reductase (AKR) superfamily may provide a paradigm for other mammalian HSDs this family.
