AUTHORS STATE THAT CCP (CHAIN A) HAS TWO BINDING SITES FOR CC (CHAINS B AND C). ONE OF THE SITES IS BLOCKED BY PREPARING A COVALENT CCP-CC CROSSLINK (CHAINS A-B), WHILE STUDYING THE BINDING OF THE SECOND CC MOLECULE (CHAIN C) TO ANOTHER SITE. THE CROSS-LINKING WAS DONE VIA AN ENGINEERED DISULFIDE BETWEEN CCP V197C AND CC A81C GROUPS (I.E. CHAIN A V197C - CHAIN B A81C). IN ADDITION, THE NATIVE CYS RESIDUES OF BOTH CCP AND CC WERE MUTATED OUT (I.E. CHAIN A C128A AND CHAIN B C102T MUTATIONS). THE CROSSLINK STRUCTURE (CHAINS A-B), TAKEN FROM THE PDB ENTRY 1S6V, WAS KEPT FIXED IN THE NMR RESTRAINT-DRIVEN RIGID-BODY DOCKING OF THE SECOND CC MOLECULE (CHAIN C). RIGID-BODY REFINEMENT PROTOCOL IS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL IN THE MAIN CITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. |
