ATOMIC RESOLUTION STRUCTURE OF HBP
Structural highlights
Function[CAP7_HUMAN] This is a neutrophil granule-derived antibacterial and monocyte- and fibroblast-specific chemotactic glycoprotein. Binds heparin. The cytotoxic action is limited to many species of Gram-negative bacteria; this specificity may be explained by a strong affinity of the very basic N-terminal half for the negatively charged lipopolysaccharides that are unique to the Gram-negative bacterial outer envelope. It may play a role in mediating recruitment of monocytes in the second wave of inflammation. Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-nagative bacterium P.aeruginosa, this activity is inhibited by LPS from P.aeruginosa. Acting alone, it does not have antimicrobial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria A.actinomycetemcomitans ATCC 29532, A.actinomycetemcomitans NCTC 9709, A.actinomycetemcomitans FDC-Y4, H.aphrophilus ATCC 13252, E.corrodens ATCC 23834, C.sputigena ATCC 33123, Capnocytophaga sp ATCC 33124, Capnocytophaga sp ATCC 27872 or E.coli ML-35. Has antibacterial activity against C.sputigena ATCC 33123 when acting synergistically with either elastase or cathepsin G.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedCrystals of human heparin binding protein (HBP) diffract to 1.1 A when flash-frozen at 120 K. The atomic resolution structure has been refined anisotropically using SHELXL96. The final model of HBP consists of 221 amino-acid residues of 225 possible, three glycosylation units, one chloride ion, 15 precipitant ethanol molecules and 323 water molecules. The structure is refined to a final crystallographic R factor of 15.9% and Rfree(5%) of 18.9% using all data. A putative protein kinase C activation site has been identified, involving residues 113-120. The structure is compared to the previously determined 2.3 A resolution structure of HBP.
