Abstract:

S100 proteins are involved in metal-dependent intracellular signalling. Metal-free S100A3, a cysteine-rich Ca(2+)- and Zn(2+)-binding protein, has been crystallized by vapour diffusion under the strict exclusion of oxygen and in the absence of divalent metal ions. Metal binding induces large conformational changes, rendering the apo-S100A3 crystals very sensitive to various metal compounds. Therefore, the structure was solved by MIRAS phasing using potassium iodide and xenon derivatives. Iodide replaces a water molecule at the surface of the S100A3 protein, whereas xenon binds in a hydrophobic cavity at the dimer interface. Despite significant non-isomorphism, the combination of both derivatives was sufficient for structure determination. The overall apo-S100A3 structure resembles the structures of metal-free S100B and S100A6 solution structures. In contrast to the NMR structures, the EF-hand loops are well ordered in the apo-S100A3 crystal structure. In the N-terminal pseudo-EF-hand loop a water molecule occupies the position of the Ca(2+) ion. The C-terminal canonical EF-hand loop shows an extended conformation and a different helix arrangement to other S100/metal complex crystal structures.

Evidence Evidence demonstrating that the participating proteins are unstructured prior to the interaction and their folding is coupled to binding.

Representative domain in related structures: S-100/ICaBP type EF hand dimer

Evidence level: Direct evidence

Evidence coverage: The full structure participates in mutual synergistic folding.

Complex Evidence:

GuHCl-induced denaturation of the S100B protein dimer showed that it follows a two-state unfolding/refolding process (PMID:11888280). Other S100 proteins also showed two-state unfolding, no folded monomers were observed (PMID:18346834, PMID:18706914). The dimer has a globular and compact structure with the four helices in each subunit aligning to form a unicornate-type four-helix bundle (PMID:11790100). The hydrophobic core extends through the dimer interface.

Surface and contacts features:

Related Structure(s) Structures from the PDB that contain the same number of proteins, and the proteins from the two structures show a sufficient degree of pairwise similarity, i.e. they belong to the same UniRef90 cluster (the full proteins exhibit at least 90% sequence identity) and convey roughly the same region to their respective interactions (the two regions from the two proteins share a minimum of 70% overlap).
