Fecha de publicación: | 2002 | Editor: | Nature Publishing Group | Citación: | EMBO Reports 3(1): 88-94 (2002) | Resumen: | The macrophage infectivity potentiator protein from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcMIP) is a major virulence factor secreted by the etiological agent of Chagas' disease. It is functionally involved in host cell invasion. We have determined the three-dimensional crystal structure of TcMIP at 1.7 Å resolution. The monomeric protein displays a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPlase) core, encompassing the characteristic rotamase hydrophobic active site, thus explaining the strong inhibition of TcMIP by the immunosuppressant FK506 and related drugs. In TcMIP, the twisted β-sheet of the core is extended by an extra β-strand, preceded by a long, exposed N-terminal α-helix, which might be a target recognition element. An invasion assay shows that the MIP protein from Legionella pneumophila (LpMIP), which has an equivalent N-terminal α-helix, can substitute for TcMIP. An additional exposed α-helix, this one unique to TcMIP, is located in the C-terminus of the protein. The high-resolution structure reported here opens the possibility for the design of new inhibitory drugs that might be useful for the clinical treatment of American trypanosomiasis. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/embo-reports/kvf009 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/107911 | DOI: | 10.1093/embo-reports/kvf009 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1093/embo-reports/kvf009 issn: 1469-221X |
