Fecha de publicación: | 2-may-2022 | Editor: | National Academy of Sciences (U.S.) | Citación: | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 119(19): e2200102119 (2022) | Resumen: | Humanα2-macroglobulin (hα2M) is a multidomain protein with a plethoraof essential functions, including transport of signaling molecules and endopeptidaseinhibition in innate immunity. Here, we dissected the molecular mechanism of theinhibitory function of the∼720-kDa hα2M tetramer through eight cryo–electronmicroscopy (cryo-EM) structures of complexes from human plasma. In the native com-plex, the hα2M subunits are organized in twoflexible modules in expanded conforma-tion, which enclose a highly porous cavity in which the proteolytic activity ofcirculating plasma proteins is tested. Cleavage of bait regions exposed inside the cavitytriggers rearrangement to a compact conformation, which closes openings and entrapsthe prey proteinase. After the expanded-to-compact transition, which occurs indepen-dently in the four subunits, the reactive thioester bond triggers covalent linking of theproteinase, and the receptor-binding domain is exposed on the tetramer surface forreceptor-mediated clearance from circulation. These results depict the molecular mecha-nism of a unique suicidal inhibitory trap. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2200102119 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/269544 | DOI: | 10.1073/pnas.2200102119 | ISSN: | 0027-8424 | E-ISSN: | 1091-6490 |
