Abstract
BACKGROUND: Retinoic acid (RA) plays a fundamental role in diverse cellular activities. Cellular RA binding proteins (CRABPs) are thought to act by modulating the amount of RA available to nuclear RA receptors. CRABPs and cellular retinol-binding proteins (CRBPs) share a unique fold of two orthogonal beta-sheets that encapsulate their ligands. It has been suggested that a trio of residues are the prime determinants defining the high specificity of CRBPs and CRABPs for their physiological ligands. RESULTS: Bovine/murine CRABP I and human CRABP II have been crystallized in complex with their natural ligand, all-trans-RA. Human CRABP II has also been crystallized in complex with a synthetic retinoid, 'compound 19'. Their structures have been determined and refined at resolutions of 2.9 A, 1.8 A and 2.2 A, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The retinoid-binding site in CRABPs differs significantly from that observed in CRBP. Structural changes in three juxtaposed areas of the protein create a new, displaced binding site for RA. The carboxylate of the ligand interacts with the expected trio of residues (Arg132, Tyr134 and Arg111; CRABP II numbering). The RA ligand is almost flat with the beta-ionone ring showing a significant deviation (-33 degrees) from a cis conformation relative to the isoprene tail. The edge atoms of the beta-ionone ring are accessible to solvent in a suitable orientation for presentation to metabolizing enzymes. The bulkier synthetic retinoid causes small conformational changes in the protein structure.

Figure 8. Comparison of retinoid binding in CRABP II and CRBP I. The Ca trace, RA and side-chain atoms of Arg111, Arg132 and Tyr134 of CRABP II have been coloured as in Figure 7, and the solvent-accessible surface of CRABP II has been drawn in purple. For CRBP I, the retinol has been coloured green, its solvent-accessible surface red, and the side-chain atoms of Gln108, Gln128 and Phe130 have been coloured green (carbon), cyan (nitrogen) and pink (oxygen).

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Retinoic acid absorbs at 350 nm. The protein-retinoic acid spectrum can be evaluated by the ratio ,435028o. For protein fully saturated with retinoic acid, this ratio is 2.07. When protected from the light, the complex is stable for at least 7 months and this value remains essentially unchanged. When exposed to light, deterioration beg'.ms within 30 min, as moni- tored by a decrease in the absorbarice of retinoic acid at A350.
