Abstract
Annexins comprise a multigene family of Ca2+ and phospholipid- binding proteins. They consist of a conserved C-terminal or core domain that confers Ca2+-dependent phospholipid binding and an N-terminal domain that is variable in sequence and length and responsible for the specific properties of each annexin. Crystal structures of various annexin core domains have revealed a high degree of similarity. From these and other studies it is evident that the core domain harbors the calcium-binding sites that interact with the phospholipid headgroups. However, no structure has been reported of an annexin with a complete N-terminal domain. We have now solved the crystal structure of such a full-length annexin, annexin 1. Annexin 1 is active in membrane aggregation and its refined 1.8 A structure shows an alpha-helical N-terminal domain connected to the core domain by a flexible linker. It is surprising that the two alpha-helices present in the N-terminal domain of 41 residues interact intimately with the core domain, with the amphipathic helix 2-12 of the N-terminal domain replacing helix D of repeat III of the core. In turn, helix D is unwound into a flap now partially covering the N-terminal helix. Implications for membrane aggregation will be discussed and a model of aggregation based on the structure will be presented.

Figure 1. Ribbon diagrams of one monomer of (a) recombinant porcine annexin 1 comprising protein core and the N-terminal domain and (b) human annexin 1 lacking the first 32 amino acid residues (delta1 to 32 anx I; PDB-code 1AIN). 15 Repeat I is presented in red, repeat II in green, repeat III in blue, repeat IV in purple and the N-terminal domain in yellow. The yellow N-terminal helix in (a) is replacing the two-turn blue helix in (b). Bound calcium ions in delta1-32 annexin 1 are illustrated as yellow spheres. The Figure was prepared using MOLSCRIPT and RASTER3D. 43,44

Met3, Val4 and Phe7 are located in a hydrophobic pocket formed by residues Val220, Phe221, Ile224, Leu225 and Phe237 of repeat III. The Figure was prepared using SETOR. 45

Full text Abstract
Figure 1.
Figure 1 Mass spectra of dissolved annexin I crystals. The MALDI technique was performed to prepare the protein sample using 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as a matrix. The sample was analyzed with the time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer Voyager DE-Pro (Perceptive Biosystems). The observed peaks reflect the following annexin I species: m/z = 38 746.5, annexin I monomer (calculated mass = 38 744 Da); m/z = 38 592.1, annexin monomer minus the first methionine residue; m/z = 19 400.6 and 19 292.1; doubly charged species (m/z = 38 746.5 and 38 592.1, respectively); m/z = 35 693.6, annexin I derivative lacking the first 26 amino acids.
