Each protomer of the enzyme has an N-terminal trimerization stem (59 residues) containing a flexible linker (11 residues) connected to a thioredoxin-fold-containing catalytic domain (163 residues). Here, two PmScsC variants, PmScsCDeltaN and PmScsCDeltaLinker, are characterized. PmScsCDeltaN is an N-terminally truncated form of the protomer with two helices of the trimerization stem removed, generating a protein with dithiol oxidase rather than disulfide isomerase activity. The crystal structure of PmScsCDeltaN reported here reveals, as expected, a monomer that is structurally similar to the catalytic domain of native PmScsC. The second variant, PmScsCDeltaLinker, was designed to remove the 11-amino-acid linker, and it is shown that it generates a protein that has neither disulfide isomerase nor dithiol oxidase activity. The crystal structure of PmScsCDeltaLinker reveals a trimeric arrangement, with the catalytic domains packed together very closely. Small-angle X-ray scattering analysis found that native PmScsC is predominantly trimeric in solution even at low concentrations, whereas PmScsCDeltaLinker exists as an equilibrium between monomeric, dimeric and trimeric states, with the monomeric form dominating at low concentrations. These findings increase the understanding of disulfide isomerase activity, showing how (i) oligomerization, (ii) the spacing between and (iii) the dynamic motion of catalytic domains in PmScsC all contribute to its native function. Engineered variants provide new insight into the structural properties important for activity of the highly dynamic, trimeric protein disulfide isomerase ScsC from Proteus mirabilis.,Furlong EJ, Kurth F, Premkumar L, Whitten AE, Martin JL Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol. 2019 Mar 1;75(Pt 3):296-307. doi:, 10.1107/S2059798319000081.
