The non-ice-binding region II (RII), one of five distinct domains in MpAFP, comprises ~90% of the protein. RII consists of approximately 120 tandem copies of an identical 104-aa (amino acid) sequence. We used the Protein Homology/analogy Recognition Engine server to define the boundaries of a single 104-aa RII construct (RII-monomer). Circular dichroism demonstrates that Ca2+ is required for RII-monomer folding and that the monomer is fully structured at a Ca2+ : protein molar ratio of 10:1. The crystal structure of the RII-monomer was solved to a resolution of 1.35 A by SAD and MR methods using Ca2+ as the heavy atom to obtain phase information. The RII-monomer folds as a Ca2+ -bound immunoglobulin-like beta-sandwich. Ca2+ ions are coordinated at the interfaces between each RII-monomer and its symmetry-related molecules, suggesting these ions may be involved in the stabilization of the tandemly repeated RII. We hypothesize that >600 Ca2+ help rigidify the chain of 104-aa repeats in order to project the ice-binding domain of MpAFP away from the bacterial cell surface. The proposed role of RII is to help the strictly aerobic bacterium bind surface ice in an Antarctic lake for better access to oxygen and nutrients. This work may give insights about other bacterial proteins that resemble MpAFP, especially those of the large Repeats-In-Toxin family that have been characterized as adhesins exported via the Type I secretion pathway.
