HUMAN LYSOZYME L63 MUTANT LABELLED WITH 2',3'-EPOXYPROPYL N,N'-DIACETYLCHITOBIOSE
Structural highlights
DiseaseLYSC_HUMAN Defects in LYZ are a cause of amyloidosis type 8 (AMYL8) [MIM:105200; also known as systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis or Ostertag-type amyloidosis. AMYL8 is a hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to deposition of apolipoprotein A1, fibrinogen and lysozyme amyloids. Viscera are particularly affected. There is no involvement of the nervous system. Clinical features include renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash.[1] FunctionLYSC_HUMAN Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe synergism between apolar and polar interactions in the carbohydrate recognition by human lysozyme (HL) was probed by site-directed mutagenesis and affinity labeling. The three-dimensional structures of the Tyr63-->Leu mutant HL labeled with 2',3'-epoxypropyl beta-glycoside of N,N'-diacetylchitobiose (L63-HL/NAG-NAG-EPO complex) and the Asp102-->Glu mutant HL labeled with the 2',3'-epoxypropyl beta-glycoside of N-acetyllactosamine were revealed by X-ray diffraction at 2.23 and 1.96 A resolution, respectively. Compared to the wild-type HL labeled with the 2', 3'-epoxypropyl beta-glycoside of N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, the N-acetylglucosamine residue at subsite B of the L63-HL/NAG-NAG-EPO complex markedly moved away from the 63rd residue, with substantial loss of hydrogen-bonding interactions. Evidently, the stacking interaction with the aromatic side chain of Tyr63 is essential in positioning the N-acetylglucosamine residue in the productive binding mode. On the other hand, the position of the galactose residue in subsite B of HL is almost unchanged by the mutation of Asp102 to Glu. Most hydrogen bonds, including the one between the carboxylate group of Glu102 and the axial 4-OH group of the galactose residue, were maintained by local movement of the backbone from residues 102-104. In both structures, the conformation of the disaccharide was conserved, reflecting an intrinsic conformational rigidity of the disaccharides. The structural analysis suggested that CH-pi interactions played an important role in the recognition of the carbohydrate residue at subsite B of HL.
