  ABSTRACT  
 
PII-like proteins are signal transduction proteins found in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. They mediate a variety of cellular responses. A second PII-like protein, called GlnK, has been found in several organisms. In the diazotroph Herbaspirillum seropedicae, PII protein is involved in sensing nitrogen levels and controlling nitrogen fixation genes. In this work, the crystal structure of the unliganded H. seropedicae PII was solved by X-ray diffraction. H. seropedicae PII has a Gly residue, Gly108 preceding Pro109 and the main-chain forms a beta turn. The glycine at position 108 allows a bend in the C-terminal main-chain, thereby modifying the surface of the cleft between monomers and potentially changing function. The structure suggests that the C-terminal region of PII proteins may be involved in specificity of function, and nonenteric diazotrophs are found to have the C-terminal consensus XGXDAX(107-112). We are also proposing binding sites for ATP and 2-oxoglutarate based on the structural alignment of PII with PII-ATP/GlnK-ATP, 5-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxymuconate isomerase and 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase bound to the inhibitor 2-oxo-3-pentynoate.

Fig. 1. Ribbon diagrams of the trimeric HsPII (A) and monomeric HsPII, EcPII, EcPII-ATP, EcGlnK and EcGlnK-ATP (B). (A) A ribbon diagram of the structure of the trimeric HsPII, each chain in a different colour. The sheets of the motif line the central cavity of the trimer with the helices at the periphery. (B) Ribbon diagrams of the monomers of HsPII (i), EcPII (ii), EcPII-ATP (iii), EcGlnK (iv) and EcGlnK-ATP (v). Secondary structures are colour coded: green sheets, 1–4, blue helices, 1–2 and 3[10] helix and orange loops. The monomers share the same motif with the major structural differences residing in the loops T and C.

Location of ATP and 2-oxo-3-pentynoate was modelled using HsPII, EcGlnK-ATP, EcPII-ATP and 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase-2-oxo-3-pentynoate structures using dali and lsqkab[8,14,15].

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 codes are shown on the right.
