Crystallization (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
crystal structure of the DegP24 multimer-outer membrane protein complex is solved by the single-wavelength anomalous dispersion method: The 24-mer of DegP forms a spherical shell with 432 symmetry. In the crystal structure of DegP24, eight trimers are located at the vertices of an octahedron that assembles a protein shell of about 31 A thickness enclosing a large internal cavity about 110 A in diameter | Escherichia coli |

K305A/K379A/K381A/K416A | to monitor directly the influence of the PDZ domains on lipid binding, mutants in which the surface-exposed lysine residues are replaced by alanine: Dose-response experiments reveal that the lipid affinity of the DegP 24-mer mutant is significantly decreased. Thus DegP could function as a periplasmic macropore, allowing the protected diffusion of outer-membrane protein precursors from the inner membrane to the outer membrane | Escherichia coli |
K379E/K381E/K416E | to monitor directly the influence of the PDZ domains on lipid binding, mutants in which the surface-exposed lysine residues are replaced by glutamate alanine: Dose-response experiments reveal that the lipid affinity of the DegP 24-mer mutant is almost entirely impaired. Thus DegP could function as a periplasmic macropore, allowing the protected diffusion of outer-membrane protein precursors from the inner membrane to the outer membrane | Escherichia coli |
additional information | in degP-null mutant strains the levels of outer-membrane protein A, outer-membrane protein F and to smaller extent also outer-membrane protein C are decreased, indicating an active role of DegP in the outer-membrane protein biogenesis | Escherichia coli |

hexamer | crystal structures suggest that HtrA proteins differ in their molecular architecture, ranging from trimers with surface-accessible active sites to hexamers | Escherichia coli |
multimer | gel filtration shows three DegP oligomers, namely the 6-mer (DegP6), the 12-mer (DegP12) and the 24-mer (DegP24), of which the two larger particles had additional proteins bound. Binding of misfolded proteins transforms hexameric DegP into large, catalytically active 12-meric and 24-meric multimers. A structural analysis of these particles reveal that DegP represents a protein packaging device whose central compartment is adaptable to the size and concentration of substrate. Moreover, the inner cavity serves antagonistic functions | Escherichia coli |
