Crystal structure of Loxosceles intermedia phospholipase D isoform 1 H12A mutant
Structural highlights
FunctionA1HA_LOXIN Catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin, lysophosphatidylcholine, and lyso-platelet activating factor but not that of phosphatidylcholine. Shows a high enzymatic activity. Induces dermonecrosis, blood vessel permeability and platelet aggregation (PubMed:9790962). Is directly toxic to kidney (PubMed:16005484) and liver (PubMed:18765244). Also induces hemolysis in a complement-dependent manner (PubMed:9790962) as well as in a complement-independent manner. The hemolysis provoked in a complement-independent manner is composed of several steps. The toxin binds to erythrocyte membranes, hydrolyzes membrane phospholipids (sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine) thus generating metabolism products that cause hemolysis, probably by provoking an increase of calcium inside cells. The calcium influx is due to the opening of L-type calcium channels, since L-type calcium channel blockers inhibit calcium influx (PubMed:21590705).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedPhospholipases D are the major dermonecrotic component of Loxosceles venom and catalyze the hydrolysis of phospholipids, resulting in the formation of lipid mediators such as ceramide-1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid which can induce pathological and biological responses. Phospholipases D can be classified into two classes depending on their catalytic efficiency and the presence of an additional disulfide bridge. In this work, both wild-type and H12A-mutant forms of the class II phospholipase D from L. intermedia venom were crystallized. Wild-type and H12A-mutant crystals were grown under very similar conditions using PEG 200 as a precipitant and belonged to space group P12(1)1, with unit-cell parameters a = 50.1, b = 49.5, c = 56.5 A, beta = 105.9 degrees . Wild-type and H12A-mutant crystals diffracted to maximum resolutions of 1.95 and 1.60 A, respectively.
