Chromium(III)-transferrin was crystallized in the presence of the synergistic anion malonate. In the crystals, the protein exists with a closed C-terminal lobe containing a Cr(III) ion and an open, unoccupied N-terminal lobe. The overall structure and the metal ion environments are extremely similar to those of Fe(III)- and Ti(IV)-containing transferrin crystallized under comparable conditions. The octahedral coordination about the Cr(III) is comprised of four ligands provided by the protein (two tyrosine residues, a histidine residue, and an aspartate residue) and a chelating malonate anion. This represents the first crystal structure of a Cr(III)-containing protein that binds Cr(III) as part of its physiological function.
