Abstract:

The antibiotic bleomycin, a strong DNA cutting agent, is naturally produced by actinomycetes which have developed a resistance mechanism against such a lethal compound. The crystal structure, at 2.3 A resolution, of a bleomycin resistance protein of 14 kDa reveals a structure in two halves with the same alpha/beta fold despite no sequence similarity. The crystal packing shows compact dimers with a hydrophobic interface and involved in mutual chain exchange. Two independent solution studies (analytical centrifugation and light scattering) showed that this dimeric form is not a packing artefact but is indeed the functional one. Furthermore, light scattering also showed that one dimer binds two antibiotic molecules as expected. A crevice located at the dimer interface, as well as the results of a site-directed mutagenesis study, led to a model wherein two bleomycin molecules are completely sequestered by one dimer. This provides a novel insight into antibiotic resistance due to drug sequestering, and probably also into drug transport and excretion.

Complex Evidence:

The bleomycin resistance protein forms a tight dimer with a large hydrophobic interface and domain-swapping involving the N-terminal end of both monomers. Only dimeric form could be detected in solution by several dedicated methods. The antibiotic binds to he dimer interface contacting both monomers (PMID:7516875). Temperature-induced equilibrium unfolding experiments on the Shble protein and its engineered variants suggested a two-state model of unfolding (although unfolding was largely irreversible with only 40% of the native folded signal regained during the refolding phase) and the strong stabilizing effect of bleomycin on the dimer based on largely increased thermostability of the protein in the presence of the antibiotic (PMID:15640151).

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).
