'''1.9A crystal structure of protein AQ328 from Aquifex aeolicus'''<br />
'''1.9A crystal structure of protein AQ328 from Aquifex aeolicus'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The structure of Aq_328, an uncharacterized protein from hyperthermophilic, bacteria Aquifex aeolicus, has been determined to 1.9 A by using, multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing. Although the amino, acid sequence analysis shows that Aq_328 has no significant similarity to, proteins with a known structure and function, the structure comparison by, using the Dali server reveals that it: (1) assumes a histone-like fold, and (2) is similar to an ancestral nuclear histone protein (PDB code 1F1E), with z-score 8.1 and RMSD 3.6 A over 124 residues. A sedimentation, equilibrium experiment indicates that Aq_328 is a monomer in solution, with an average sedimentation coefficient of 2.4 and an apparent molecular, weight of about 20 kDa. The overall architecture of Aq_328 consists of two, noncanonical histone domains in tandem repeat within a single chain, and, is similar to eukaryotic heterodimer (H2A/H2B and H3/H4) and an archaeal, histone heterodimer (HMfA/HMfB). The sequence comparisons between the two, histone domains of Aq_328 and six eukaryotic/archaeal histones demonstrate, that most of the conserved residues that underlie the Aq_328 architecture, are used to build and stabilize the two cross-shaped antiparallel histone, domains. The high percentage of salt bridges in the structure could be a, factor in the protein's thermostability. The structural similarities to, other histone-like proteins, molecular properties, and potential function, of Aq_328 are discussed in this paper.
