ABSTRACT
Complex formation between cationic cytochrome c and the water-soluble,
poly-anionic p-phosphonatocalix[6]arene (pclx6) was investigated. A
crystal structure (at 1.8 Å resolution) revealed a remarkable dimeric disc of
pclx6that acts like glue to mediate a symmetric (C2)
protein dimer. The calixarene disc has a diameter of about 1.5 nm and masks
about 360 Å2of protein surface. The key protein-calixarene
contacts occur via two linchpin lysines, with additional contacts provided by a
small hydrophobic patch. The protein-calixarene supramolecular assemblies were
observed in solution by size-exclusion chromatography with multi-angle light
scattering and NMR spectroscopy. Using isothermal titration calorimetry and NMR
data, an apparent Kdin the low micromolar range was determined for
the charge-rich protein-calixarene complex. In contrast to
p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene, the larger pclx6has a single, well-defined
binding site that mediates the assembly of cytochrome c in solution.
