Crystal structures of the sweet-tasting protein honey truffle active component from Mattirolomyces terfezioides

Tyler T. Pitkanen, Anne Cooper, Phillip Vo, Chase T. McFarland, Ranjan Patnaik, Scott W. Lovell and Daniel E. Connors
The crystal structures of the sweet-tasting protein honey truffle active component are reported to resolutions ranging from 1.23 to 1.70 Å. The structures correlate well with a previously reported NMR solution-phase protein structure and reveal side-chain configurations that are critical in binding of the protein to the human sweet taste receptor that are also involved in ligand interactions in solution and self-association.

Structural insights into a putative BLF1-like deamidase from Methylomonas sp. Kb3

Nur Afiqah Shalihin Muhamad Ismail, Amirul Adli Abd Aziz, Atsushi Nakagawa, Farah Diba Abu Bakar, Abdul Munir Abdul Murad, Sheila Nathan, Mohd Firdaus Mohd Raih, Doris Huai Xia Quay and David Rice
The crystal structure of a putative BLF1-like deamidase from Methylomonas sp. Kb3 reveals conservation of the catalytic cysteine–histidine dyad despite extensive sequence variation. These findings expand the diversity of BLF1-like deamidases and provide a structural framework for understanding their evolution and potential functions.
