Crystal Structure of Pathogenesis-related Protein LlPR-10.2B from yellow lupine in complex with Diphenylurea
Structural highlights
FunctionP102B_LUPLU Class II ribonuclease (RNase) (By similarity). Binds to several cytokinins including natural adenine-type (e.g. trans-zeatin and kinetin) and artificial urea-type (e.g. N,N'-diphenylurea and N-phenyl-N'-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)urea) hormones (PubMed:18406424, PubMed:19220853, PubMed:29630775). Interacts with melatonin (PubMed:29630775).[UniProtKB:P52779][1] [2] [3] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedPlant pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins of class 10 are the only group among the 17 PR protein families that are intracellular and cytosolic. Sequence conservation and the wide distribution of PR-10 proteins throughout the plant kingdom are an indication of an indispensable function in plants, but their true biological role remains obscure. Crystal and solution structures for several homologues have shown a similar overall fold with a vast internal cavity which, together with structural similarities to the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein-related lipid transfer domain and cytokinin-specific binding proteins, strongly indicate a ligand-binding role for the PR-10 proteins. This article describes the structure of a complex between a classic PR-10 protein [Lupinus luteus (yellow lupine) PR-10 protein of subclass 2, LlPR-10.2B] and N,N'-diphenylurea, a synthetic cytokinin. Synthetic cytokinins have been shown in various bioassays to exhibit activity similar to that of natural cytokinins. The present 1.95 A resolution crystallographic model reveals four N,N'-diphenylurea molecules in the hydrophobic cavity of the protein and a degree of conformational changes accompanying ligand binding. The structural adaptability of LlPR-10.2B and its ability to bind different cytokinins suggest that this protein, and perhaps other PR-10 proteins as well, can act as a reservoir of cytokinin molecules in the aqueous environment of a plant cell.
