Crystal structure of a Ca2+-discharged photoprotein: implications for mechanisms of the calcium trigger and bioluminescence.
Ca2+-regulated photoproteins are members of the EF-hand calcium-binding protein family. The addition of Ca2+ produces a blue bioluminescence by triggering a decarboxylation reaction of protein-bound hydroperoxycoelenterazine to form the product, coelenteramide, in an excited state. Based on the spatial structures of aequorin and several obelins, we have postulated mechanisms for the Ca2+ trigge...
متن کاملStructure of the Ca2+-regulated photoprotein obelin at 1.7 A resolution determined directly from its sulfur substructure.
The crystal structure of the photoprotein obelin (22.2 kDa) from Obelia longissima has been determined and refined to 1.7 A resolution. Contrary to the prediction of a peroxide, the noncovalently bound substrate, coelenterazine, has only a single oxygen atom bound at the C2-position. The protein-coelenterazine 2-oxy complex observed in the crystals is photo-active because, in the presence of ca...
متن کاملSYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF [Pph ] [WS (CUNCS) ] A. Taeb A. Beheshti and N.K. Javadi SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF [Pph ] [WS (CUNCS) ]
The crystals of [WS (CuNCS) ] anion have been isolated from CH ,CI solution and examined by X-ray structural analysis as well as by IR spectroscopy. The unit cell is monoclinic with a= 14.3796(13), b= 18.039(1 I), c= 22.5956(23)& P= 96.053(8)', space group P2,/n (14), Z= 4. The crystal structure was refined by the least-squares calculations to a final R-value of 0.0398(Rw= 0.0443) for 2777 u...
متن کاملA Photoprotein in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Measures Ca2+ Mobilization in Cells and in Animals
Exogenous expression of pharmacological targets in transformed cell lines has been the traditional platform for high throughput screening of small molecules. However, exogenous expression in these cells is limited by aberrant dosage, or its toxicity, the potential lack of interaction partners, and alterations to physiology due to transformation itself. Instead, primary cells or cells differenti...
متن کاملSYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF [PPh ] [WOS (CUNCS) ]
The reaction of [PPhJ, NOS,] with CuCl and KSCN (1 :3:3) in acetone produces the yell-ow crystals of [PPh,], [WOS,(CuNCS),]. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1(2), z=2, a=12.4823(7), b=12.9224(7), c=18.6395(10)?, ?=83.907(5), ?= 73.152(4), Y= 65.194(4)'. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal Xray diffraction methods (Mo-K ?) and refined by least-squares calculations ...
