In the first edition of this book this chapter was entitled "Antiparallel Beta Structures" but we have had to change this because an entirely unexpected structure, the p helix, was discovered in 1993. The p helix, which is not related to the numerous antiparallel p structures discussed so far, was first seen in the bacterial enzyme pectate lyase, the stmcture of which was determined by the group of Frances Jurnak at the University of California, Riverside. Subsequently several other protein structures have been found to contain p helices, including extracellular bacterial proteinases and the bacteriophage P22 tailspike protein. [Pg.84]

A more complex p helix is present in pectate lyase and the bacteriophage P22 tailspike protein. In these p helices each turn of the helix contains three short p strands, each with three to five residues, connected by loop regions. The p helix therefore comprises three parallel p sheets roughly arranged as the three sides of a prism. However, the cross-section of the p helix is not quite triangular because of the arrangement of the p sheets. Two of the sheets are... [Pg.84]

The number of helical turns in these structures is larger than those found so far in two-sheet p helices. The pectate lyase p helix consists of seven complete turns and is 34 A long and 17-27 A in diameter (Figure 5.30) while the p-helix part of the bacteriophage P22 tailspike protein has 13 complete turns. Both these proteins have other stmctural elements in addition to the P-helix moiety. The complete tailspike protein contains three intertwined, identical subunits each with the three-sheet p helix and is about 200 A long and 60 A wide. Six of these trimers are attached to each phage at the base of the icosahedral capsid. [Pg.85]

Bacteriophage repressor proteins provide excellent examples of sequence-specific interactions between the side chains of a protein and bases lining the floor of the major groove of B-DNA. As we shall see, to fit the protein s recognition module into this groove it has to be made even wider in other words, the B-DNA has to be distorted. [Pg.125]

Figure 8.1 A region of DNA in the related bacteriophages lambda, 434, and P22 that controls the switch for synthesis of new phage particles. Two structural genes are involved in this switch one coding for a repressor protein and one coding for the Cro protein. Between these genes there is an operator region (OR) that contains three protein binding sites—ORl, OR2, and OR3.

One of the most striking results that has emerged from the high-resolution crystallographic studies of these icosahedral viruses is that their coat proteins have the same basic core structure, that of a jelly roll barrel, which was discussed in Chapter 5. This is true of plant, insect, and mammalian viruses. In the case of the picornaviruses, VPl, VP2, and VP3 all have the same jelly roll structure as the subunits of satellite tobacco necrosis virus, tomato bushy stunt virus, and the other T = 3 plant viruses. Not every spherical virus has subunit structures of the jelly roll type. As we will see, the subunits of the RNA bacteriophage, MS2, and those of alphavirus cores have quite different structures, although they do form regular icosahedral shells. [Pg.335]

The 129 amino acid polypeptide chain is folded into an up-and-down antiparallei P sheet of five strands, P3-P7, with a hairpin at the amino end and two C-terminai a helices.

Lysozyme from bacteriophage T4 is a 164 amino acid polypeptide chain that folds into two domains (Figure 17.3) There are no disulfide bridges the two cysteine residues in the amino acid sequence, Cys 54 and Cys 97, are far apart in the folded structure. The stability of both the wild-type and mutant proteins is expressed as the melting temperature, Tm, which is the temperature at which 50% of the enzyme is inactivated during reversible beat denat-uration. For the wild-type T4 lysozyme the Tm is 41.9 °C. [Pg.354]
