The structure of CP4, a haemopexin-fold protein from cow pea (Vigna unguiculata), was determined at 2.1 A resolution. The protein exists as a monomer both in solution and in the crystal. The structure revealed a typical four-bladed beta-propeller topology. The protein exhibits 42% sequence similarity to LS-24 from Lathyrus sativus, with substantial differences in the surface-charge distribution and in the oligomeric state. A structure-based sequence analysis of haemopexin-fold proteins of plant and mammalian origin established a sequence signature associated with the haemopexin motif. This signature sequence enabled the identification of other proteins with possible haemopexin-like topology of both plant and animal origin. Although CP4 shares a structural fold with LS-24 and other haemopexins, biochemical studies indicated possible functional differences between CP4 and LS-24. While both of these proteins exhibit spermine-binding potential, CP4 does not bind to haem, unlike LS-24. The structure of a haemopexin-fold protein from cow pea (Vigna unguiculata) suggests functional diversity of haemopexins in plants.,Gaur V, Chanana V, Jain A, Salunke DM Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun. 2011 Feb 1;67(Pt, 2):193-200.
