Wilson disease associated protein (ATP7B) is essential for copper transport in human cells. Mutations that affect ATP7B function result in Wilson's disease, a chronic copper toxicosis. Disease-causing mutations within the N-domain of ATP7B (WND) are known to disrupt ATP binding, but a high-resolution X-ray structure of the ATP-binding site has not been reported. The N-domain was modified to delete the disordered loop comprising residues His1115-Asp1138 (WNDDelta(1115-1138)). Unlike the wild-type N-domain, WNDDelta(1115-1138) formed good-quality crystals. Synchrotron diffraction data have been collected from WNDDelta(1115-1138) at the Canadian Light Source. A native WNDDelta(1115-1138) crystal diffracted to 1.7 A resolution and belonged to space group P4(2)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 39.2, b = 39.2, c = 168.9 A. MAD data were collected to 2.7 A resolution from a SeMet-derivative crystal with unit-cell parameters a = 38.4, b = 38.4, c = 166.7 A. The WNDDelta(1115-1138) structure is likely to be solved by phasing from multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) experiments. |
