The role of Zn2+, dimerization and N-glycosylation in the interaction of Auxin-Binding Protein 1 (ABP1) with different auxins.
Glycobiology 2017 December 2
Auxin is critical for plant growth and development. The main natural auxin is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), whereas 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is a synthetic form. Auxin-Binding Protein 1 (ABP1) specifically binds auxins, presumably playing roles as receptor in nontranscriptional cell responses. ABP1 structure was previously established from maize at 1.9 Å resolution. To gain further insight on ABP1 structural biology, this study was carried out employing molecular dynamics simulations of the complete models of the oligomeric glycosylated proteins from maize and Arabidopsis thaliana with or without auxins. In maize, both Zn2+ coordination and glycosylation promoted conformational stability and most of such stabilization effect was located on the N-terminal region. The α-helix of C-terminal regions in ABP1 of both species unfolded during simulations, assuming a more extended structure in maize. In Arabidopsis, the helix appeared more stable, being preserved in most of the monomeric simulations and unfolding when the protein was in the dimeric form. In Arabidopsis ABP1 bound to IAA or NAA, glycosylation structures arranged around the protein, covering the putative site of entrance or egress of auxin. NAA bound protein folding was more similar to the crystal structure showing higher stability compared to that of IAA bound. The molecular structural differences of ABP1 found between the species and auxin types indicate that this auxin-binding protein shows functional specificities in dicots and monocots, as well as in auxin type binding.
