Abstract
The structure of catalase from human erythrocytes (HEC) was determined in tetragonal crystals of space group I4(1) by molecular-replacement methods, using the orthorhombic crystal structure as a search model. It was then refined in a unit cell of dimensions a = b = 203.6 and c = 144.6 A, yielding R and R(free) of 0.196 and 0.244, respectively, for all data at 2.4 A resolution. A major difference of the HEC structure in the tetragonal crystal compared with the orthorhombic structure was the omission of a 20-residue N-terminal segment corresponding to the first exon of the human catalase gene. The overall structures were otherwise identical in both crystal forms. The NADPH-binding sites were empty in all four subunits and bound water molecules were observed at the active sites. The structure of the C-terminal segment, which corresponds to the last exon, remained undetermined. The tetragonal crystals showed a pseudo-4(1)22 symmetry in molecular packing. Two similar types of lattice contact interfaces between the HEC tetramers were observed; they were related by the pseudo-dyad axes.
Figure 1.
Figure 1 Comparison of catalase structures from different organisms. The subunit models of (a) HEC and BLC, shown in orange and red, respectively, (b) HPII and PVC, in green and cyan, respectively, (c) SCCA and PMC, in magenta and blue, respectively, and (d) all six catalases were superimposed by O and the protein backbones were drawn using GRASP. The heme group is shown in red. NADPH is not shown. The position of Lys23 in HEC is indicated by an arrow in (a).

Figure 2 Difference Fourier (2F[o] - F[c]) maps of the four heme groups in the tetragonal HEC crystal. Maps were calculated using the final model and contoured at 1.0 level, colored cyan. The heme groups of subunits A, B, C and D are shown in (a), (b), (c) and (d), respectively, with bonds in pink. Also shown are the residues His75, Asn148, Arg354 and Tyr358, as well as one or two active-site water molecules, colored green. The figures were produced using BobScript and Raster3D.
