The multifunctional vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is an actin-sequestering protein present in blood. The crystal structure of the actin-DBP complex was determined at 2.4 A resolution. DBP binds to actin subdomains 1 and 3 and occludes the cleft at the interface between these subdomains. Most remarkably, DBP demonstrates an unusually large actin-binding interface, far exceeding the binding-interface areas reported for other actin-binding proteins such as profilin, DNase I and gelsolin. The fast-growing side of actin monomers is blocked completely through a perfect structural fit with DBP, demonstrating how DBP effectively interferes with actin-filament formation. It establishes DBP as the hitherto best actin-sequestering protein and highlights its key role in suppressing and preventing extracellular actin polymerization.
多功能维生素D结合蛋白(DBP)是一种存在于血液中的肌动蛋白隔离蛋白。肌动蛋白-DBP复合物的晶体结构以2.4埃的分辨率确定。DBP与肌动蛋白亚结构域1和3结合,并封闭这些亚结构域之间界面处的裂隙。最显著的是,DBP表现出异常大的肌动蛋白结合界面,远远超过了其他肌动蛋白结合蛋白(如原肌球蛋白、脱氧核糖核酸酶I和凝溶胶蛋白)报道的结合界面面积。肌动蛋白单体快速生长的一侧通过与DBP的完美结构契合而被完全阻断,这表明DBP如何有效地干扰肌动蛋白丝的形成。这确立了DBP作为迄今为止最佳的肌动蛋白隔离蛋白,并突出了其在抑制和防止细胞外肌动蛋白聚合中的关键作用。
