Abstract
Many different zinc binding modules have been identified. Their abundance and variety suggests that the formation of zinc binding folds might be relatively common. We have determined the structure of CH1(1), a 27-residue peptide derived from the first cysteine/histidine-rich region (CH1) of CREB binding protein (CBP). This peptide forms a highly ordered zinc-dependent fold that is distinct from known folds. The structure differs from a subsequently determined structure of a larger region from the CH3 region of CBP, and the CH1(1) fold probably represents a nonphysiologically active form. Despite this, the fold is thermostable and tolerant to both multiple alanine mutations and changes in the zinc-ligand spacing. Our data support the idea that zinc binding domains may arise frequently. Additionally, such structures may prove useful as scaffolds for protein design, given their stability and robustness.

Figure 3. Solution Structure of CH1[1](A) Stereoviews of the best 20 structures. Structures are superimposed for best fit over backbone atoms of residues 1-23 (note that residues 25-27 are not displayed, for clarity). Zinc-ligating side chains, red; zinc atom, gray; side chains of well-defined residues (2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, 21, and 22), green.(B) Ribbon diagram of the lowest energy structure of CH1[1]. The secondary structural elements recognized by the program MOLMOL [33] are shown.(C) Schematic zinc binding domain. Zinc binding domains can generally be thought of as two bidentate zinc-ligating motifs separated by an intervening sequence of highly variable length.(D) Overlay of the C-X[4]-C motifs in CH1[1] and TAZ2. Residues 5-10 of CH1[1] have been overlayed with residues 28-33 of TAZ2 (yellow) using the backbone atoms only. The rmsd is 0.42 Å.(E) Overlay of the H-X[3]-C motifs in CH1[1] and TAZ2. Residues 16-23 of CH1[1] have been overlayed with residues 39-46 of TAZ2 (yellow) using the backbone atoms only. The rmsd is 0.43 Å.
