Abstract
Nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) facilitate the transfer of phospholipids, glycolipids, fatty acids and steroids between membranes, with wide-ranging binding affinities. Three crystal structures of rice nsLTP1 from Oryza sativa, complexed with myristic (MYR), palmitic (PAL) or stearic acid (STE) were determined. The overall structures of the rice nsLTP1 complexes belong to the four-helix bundle folding with a long C-terminal loop. The nsLTP1-MYR and the nsLTP1-STE complexes bind a single fatty acid while the nsLTP1-PAL complex binds two molecules of fatty acids. The C-terminal loop region is elastic in order to accommodate a diverse range of lipid molecules. The lipid molecules interact with the nsLTP1-binding cavity mainly with hydrophobic interactions. Significant conformational changes were observed in the binding cavity and the C-terminal loop of the rice nsLTP1 upon lipid binding.

Figure 4. (A-D) The molecular surface of the rice nsTLP1 complexes (nsLTP1-MYR, nsLTP1-PAL1 & 2, and nsLTP1-STE A & B) drawn by DS ViewerPro, colored according to the electrostatic potential, ranging from blue to red (-10.0 to +10.0). Residues 77-82 were removed to show the hydrophobic cavity. Labeled residues are those of rice nsLTP1 participating in hydrophobic interactions between protein and fatty acids as shown in Table 1 Go-.
