Title A structural basis of the interactions between leucine-Rich repeats and protein ligands.

Abstract
The leucine-rich repeat is a recently characterized structural motif used in molecular recognition processes as diverse as signal transduction, cell adhesion, cell development, DNA repair and RNA processing. We present here the crystal structure at 2.5 A resolution of the complex between ribonuclease A and ribonuclease inhibitor, a protein built entirely of leucine-rich repeats. The unusual non-globular structure of ribonuclease inhibitor, its solvent-exposed parallel beta-sheet and the conformational flexibility of the structure are used in the interaction; they appear to be the principal reasons for the effectiveness of leucine-rich repeats as protein-binding motifs. The structure can serve as a model for the interactions of other proteins containing leucine-rich repeats with their ligands.

Full text Abstract
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Conformational changes in RI. The models of RI from the RNase A-RI complex (continuous lines) and RI from the lithium sulfate crystals (broken lines) were superimposed on the high-resol- ution model of free RI with the program INSIGHT (using only the C a atoms). The r.m.s. deviations of the C a atoms are shown as thin lines, and the fourth-order poly- nomial curves fitted to the r.m.s. deviations curves are shown as thick lines.
Figure 4.
Figure 4. An annealed omit electron density in the active site of RNase A. An 8 Å sphere around the sulfate ion in the RNase active site was omitted and the immediate surrounding atoms consisting of a 3 Å shell were restrained to avoid artificial movement into the omitted region. Simulated annealing was run with a starting temperature of 1000 Å . The stereo view of the electron density calculated with the phases derived from the omitted model and coefficients =Fobs= - =Fcalc= for data between 40 and 2.5 Å , was contoured at 3s and plotted with a program written by D. Xia. Superimposed is the model of the RNase A-RI complex. RNase A residues are indicated with E, and RI residues are indicated with I.
