The Structure Of A Complex Of Bovine Ɑ-Thrombin And Recombinant Hirudin At 2.8-Å Resolution, Jacqueline Vitali, Philip D. Martin, Michael G. Malkowski, William D. Robertson, Jerome B. Lazar, Richard C. Winant, Paul H. Johnson, Brian Fp Edwards Sep 1992

Crystals of the complex of bovine alpha-thrombin with recombinant hirudin variant 1 have space group C222(1) with cell constants a = 59.11, b = 102.62, and c = 143.26 A. The orientation and position of the thrombin component was determined by molecular replacement and the hirudin molecule was fit in 2 magnitude of Fo - magnitude of Fc electron density maps. The structure was refined by restrained least squares and simulated annealing to R = 0.161 at 2.8-A resolution. The binding of hirudin to thrombin is generally similar to that observed in the crystals of human thrombin-hirudin. Several differences in …


The Structure Of Residues 7-16 Of The Aɑ-Chain Of Human Fibrinogen Bound To Bovine Thrombin At 2.3 Å Resolution, Philip D. Martin, William Robertson, Dusan Turk, Robert Huber, Wolfram Bode, Brian Fp Edwards Apr 1992

The tetradecapeptide Ac-D-F-L-A-E-G-G-G-V-R-G-P-R-V-OMe, which mimics residues 7f-20f of the A alpha-chain of human fibrinogen, has been co-crystallized with bovine thrombin from ammonium sulfate solutions in space group P2(1) with unit cell dimensions of a = 83.0 A, b = 89.4 A, c = 99.3 A, and beta = 106.6 degrees. Three crystallographically independent complexes were located in the asymmetric unit by molecular replacement using the native bovine thrombin structure as a model. The standard crystallographic R-factor is 0.167 at 2.3-A resolution. Excellent electron density could be traced for the decapeptide, beginning with Asp-7f and ending with Arg-16f in the active …


Structural Changes That Accompany The Reduced Catalytic Efficiency Of Two Semisynthetic Ribonuclease Analogs, V. Srini J. De Mel, Philip D. Martin, Marilynn S. Doscher, Brian Fp Edwards Jan 1992

Structural Changes That Accompany The Reduced Catalytic Efficiency Of Two Semisynthetic Ribonuclease Analogs, V. Srini J. De Mel, Philip D. Martin, Marilynn S. Doscher, Brian Fp Edwards

The structures of two catalytically defective semi-synthetic RNases obtained by replacing aspartic acid 121 with asparagine or alanine have been determined and refined at a resolution of 2.0 A (R = 0.186 and 0.172, respectively). When these structures are compared with the refined 1.8-A structure (R = 0.204) of the fully active aspartic acid-containing enzyme (Martin, P.D., Doscher, M.S., and Edwards, B. F. P. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 15930-15938), numerous and widespread changes, much greater in number and magnitude than the small structural variations noted previously between the semisynthetic complex and RNase A, are found to have occurred. These …


The Three-Dimensional Structure Of Bovine Platelet Factor 4 At 3.0-Å Resolution, Robert St. Charles, Daniel A. Walz, Brian Fp Edwards Feb 1989

The Three-Dimensional Structure Of Bovine Platelet Factor 4 At 3.0-Å Resolution, Robert St. Charles, Daniel A. Walz, Brian Fp Edwards

Platelet factor 4 (PF4), which is released by platelets during coagulation, binds very tightly to negatively charged oligosaccharides such as heparin. To date, six other proteins are known that are homologous in sequence with PF4 but have quite different functions. The structure of a tetramer of bovine PF4 complexed with one Ni(CN)42− molecule has been determined at 3.0 Å resolution and refined to an R factor of 0.28. The current model contains residues 24–85, no solvent, and one overall temperature factor. Residues 1–13, which carried an oligosaccharide chain, were removed with elastase to induce crystallization; residues 14–23 and presumably 86–88 …


The Refined Crystal Structure Of A Fully Active Semisynthetic Ribonuclease At 1.8 Å Resolution, Philip D. Martin, Marilynn S. Doscher, Brian Fp Edwards Nov 1987

A fully active, semisynthetic analog of bovine ribonuclease A, comprised of residues 1-118 of the molecule in a noncovalent complex with the synthetic peptide analog of residues 111-124, has been crystallized in space group P3(2)21 from a solution of 1.3 M ammonium sulfate and 3.0 M cesium chloride at pH 5.2. The crystallographic structure was determined by rotation and translation searches utilizing the coordinates for ribonuclease A reported by Wlodawer and Sjolin (Wlodawer, A., and Sjolin, L. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 2720-2728) and has been refined at 1.8-A resolution to an agreement factor of 0.204. Most of the structure of the …
