Human serum albumin (apo form)
Structural highlights
DiseaseALBU_HUMAN Defects in ALB are a cause of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) [MIM:103600. FDH is a form of euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia that is due to increased affinity of ALB for T(4). It is the most common cause of inherited euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia in Caucasian population.[1] [2] [3] [4] FunctionALBU_HUMAN Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc.[5] Publication Abstract from PubMedCyclic peptides, with unique structural features, have emerged as new candidates for drug discovery; their association with human serum albumin (HSA; long blood half-life) is crucial to improve drug delivery and avoid renal clearance. Here, we present the crystal structure of HSA complexed with dalbavancin, a clinically used cyclic peptide. Small-angle X-ray scattering and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments showed that the HSA-dalbavancin complex exists in a monomeric state; dalbavancin is only bound to the subdomain IA of HSA in solution. Structural analysis and MD simulation revealed that the swing of Phe70 and movement of the helix near dalbavancin were necessary for binding. The flip of Leu251 promoted the formation of the binding pocket with an induced-fit mechanism; moreover, the movement of the loop region including Glu60 increased the number of noncovalent interactions with HSA. These findings may support the development of new cyclic peptides for clinical use, particularly the elucidation of their binding mechanism to HSA.
