Publication Abstract from PubMed The cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs) are widely distributed in mammals, reptiles, amphibians and secernenteas, and are involved in a variety of biological reactions. Here we report the crystal structure of triflin, a snake venom derived blocker of high K(+)-induced artery contraction, at 2.4A resolution. Triflin consists of two domains. The first 163 residues form a large globular body with an alpha-beta-alpha sandwich core, which resembles pathogenesis-related proteins of group-1 (PR-1). Two glutamic acid-associated histidine residues are located in an elongated cleft. A Cd(2+) resides in this binding site, and forms a five-coordination sphere. The subsequent cysteine-rich domain adopts a rod-like shape, which is stabilized by five disulfide bridges. Hydrophobic residues, which may obstruct the target ion-channel, are exposed to the solvent. A concave surface, which is surrounded by these two domains, is also expected to play a significant role in the binding to the target receptor, leading to ion channel blockage. The C-terminal cysteine-rich region has a similar tertiary structure to voltage-gated potassium channel blocker toxins, such as BgK and ShK. These findings will contribute toward understanding the functions of the widely distributed CRISP family proteins.
