Abstract
X-ray crystal structure determination of agglutinin from Abrus precatorius in Taiwan is presented. The crystal structure of agglutinin, a type II ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) from the seeds of Abrus precatorius in Taiwan, has been determined from a novel crystalline form by the molecular replacement method using the coordinates of abrin-a as the template. The structure has space group P4(1)2(1)2 with Z = 8, and been refined at 2.6 A to R-factor of 20.4%. The root-mean-square deviations of bond lengths and angles from the standard values are 0.009 A and 1.3 degrees. Primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of agglutinin have been described and compared with those of abrin-a to a certain extent. In subsequent docking research, we found that Asn200 of abrin-a may form a critical hydrogen bond with G4323 of 28SRNA, while corresponding Pro199 of agglutinin is a kink hydrophobic residue bound with the cleft in a more compact complementary relationship. This may explain the lower toxicity of agglutinin than abrin-a, despite of similarity in secondary structure and the activity cleft of two RIPs.

FIGURE 10. A view down the crystallographic 2-fold axis of the APA-I heterotetramer (A-B heterodimer). The schematic representation shows the interacting A and A' subunits of two A-B dimer, and the arrow shows the putative tetramerization interface. The three arginine residues, namely Arg-125, Arg-134, and Arg-181, are shown by ball and stick, and the corresponding symmetry related residues have been omitted for clarity. The disulfide bonds linking chain A and chain B are shown by ball and stick model. The active site cleft is away from the tetramerization interface.

Figure 9. Ramachandranplot of abrin-a. All residues of the A- and B-chains are included. The glycine residues are shown as triangles. The percentage of residues with (f, 8) conformational angles in the most favoured regions (A, B, L) is 86.0%. In additional allowed regions (0a, 0b, 0l, 0p) this percentage is 13.3%, and in the generously allowed regions (a,b,l,p) it is 0.7%. Proline, glycine and the end residues are excluded from percentage calculations. In the generously allowed regions, the labelled residues Asp35 belong to the A-chain, and Val2 and Ser5 belong to the B-chain.
