CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A CELL WALL INVERTASE INHIBITOR FROM TOBACCO AT PH 4.6
|
Overview
Plant acid invertases catalyse the breakdown of sucrose. Their activity is, tightly regulated through interaction with specific protein inhibitors., The complex between the cell-wall invertase inhibitor Nt-CIF and its, target enzyme is stable only at acidic pH, as found in the plant cell, wall. Since the pH in this compartment can be modulated between pH 4 and 6, in planta, the rapid dissociation of the inhibitor-enzyme complex at, neutral pH may represent a regulatory event. Here, it is analyzed whether, the inhibitory component undergoes structural rearrangements upon changes, in the pH environment. Six crystal forms grown at pH 4.6-9.5 and, diffracting up to 1.63 Angstrom indicate only small structural changes in, CIF. This suggests that complex dissociation at neutral pH is mediated, ...
