STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN PIN/LC8 DIMER WITH A BOUND PEPTIDE
|
Overview
The structure of the protein known both as neuronal nitric oxide synthase, inhibitory protein, PIN (protein inhibitor of nNOS), and also as the 8 kDa, dynein light chain (LC8) has been solved by X-ray diffraction. Two PIN/LC8, monomers related by a two-fold axis form a rectangular dimer. Two pairs of, alpha-helices cover opposite faces, and each pair of helices packs against, a beta-sheet with five antiparallel beta-strands. Each five-stranded, beta-sheet contains four strands from one monomer and a fifth strand from, the other monomer. A 13-residue peptide from nNOS is bound to the dimer in, a deep hydrophobic groove as a sixth antiparallel beta-strand. The, structure provides key insights into dimerization of and peptide binding, by the multifunctional PIN/LC8 protein.
