Abstract
Proteins from the PEBP (phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein) family have been identified in a wide variety of species and are thought to regulate a range of intracellular signalling cascades. The rat homologue (known as RKIP; Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein) has been shown to negatively regulate the MAP kinase pathway through formation of inhibitory complexes with Raf-1 and MEK. The crystal structure of a new, murine member of the PEBP family, termed mPEBP-2, has been determined. On the basis of amino-acid homology, mPEBP-2 belongs to a distinct subset of the mammalian PEBP proteins. Nonetheless, mPEBP-2 is seen to be very similar in structure to other PEBP proteins from human, bovine and plant sources. Regions of distinctive sequence associated with the PEBP-2 subset are discussed with reference to this structure.
Figure 2.
Figure 2 Stereoviews showing overlays of the mPEBP-2 and hPEBP-1 structures. (a) C^ trace showing an overlay of the mPEBP-2 and hPEBP-1 structures. The first 41 residues are coloured orange (mPEBP-2) and green (hPEBP-1), highlighting the surface region where the greatest sequence differences in the mammalian PEBP family are clustered. The rest of the C^ trace is coloured cyan (mPEBP-2) and purple (hPEBP-1). The ligand-binding site is identified by the bound cacodylate ion shown in CPK (from the hPEBP-1 structure). (b) Amino acids in the ligand-binding site [mPEBP-2 bonds in cyan, hPEBP-1 bonds in purple; bound cacodylate (from the hPEBP-1 structure) is also shown].
