  ABSTRACT  
 
A conserved arginine residue helps to form the synergistic anion binding site in transferrins. To probe the importance of this residue for anion binding and iron binding, Arg 121 has been mutated to Ser and Glu in N-terminal half-molecule of human lactoferrin. The two mutants, R121S and R121E, have been expressed, purified, and crystallized. Their three-dimensional structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction at 2.3 and 2.5 A resolution, respectively. The structures were determined by molecular replacement and were refined by restrained least squares methods to final R values of 0.185 and 0.204. Both mutants still bind iron but with decreased stability. The crystal structures show that destabilization of iron binding probably results from disruption of the anion binding site; mutation of Arg 121 removes one wall of the anion binding pocket and causes the synergistic carbonate ion to be displaced 0.5 A from its position in the wild-type protein. In the process it becomes partially detached from the helix N-terminus that forms the rest of the anion binding site.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
