The recently solved crystal structure of Nkrp1a raises questions about a long loop region which was uniquely extended from the central region in the crystal. To understand the functional significance of the loop, we determined the solution structure of Nkrp1a using NMR spectroscopy. A notable difference between the crystal and NMR structure of Nkrp1a appears in the conformation of the long loop region. While the extended loop points away from the central core and mediates formation of a domain swapped dimer in the crystal, the solution structure is monomeric with the loop tightly anchored to the central region. Our findings describe the first solution structure in the Nkrp1 family and reveal intriguing similarities and differences to the crystal structure. This article is protected by copyright.
