From the Retinoid interactions determine the
function of the cellular retinaldehyde binding protein (CRALBP) in the
rod visual cycle where it serves as an 11-cis-retinol
acceptor for the enzymatic isomerization of all-trans- to
11-cis-retinol and as a substrate carrier for
11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase (RDH5). Based on preliminary NMR studies suggesting retinoid interactions with Met and Trp residues,
human recombinant CRALBP (rCRALBP) with altered Met or Trp were
produced and analyzed for ligand interactions. The primary structures
of the purified proteins were verified for mutants M208A, M222A, M225A,
W165F, and W244F, then retinoid binding properties and substrate
carrier functions were evaluated. All the mutant proteins bound
11-cis- and 9-cis-retinal and therefore were
not grossly misfolded. Altered UV-visible spectra and lower retinoid
binding affinities were observed for the mutants, supporting modified
ligand interactions. Altered kinetic parameters were observed for RDH5
oxidation of 11-cis-retinol bound to rCRALBP mutants M222A,
M225A, and W244F, supporting impaired substrate carrier function.
Heteronuclear single quantum correlation NMR analyses confirmed
localized structural changes upon photoisomerization of
rCRALBP-bound 11-cis-retinal and
demonstrated ligand-dependent conformational changes for
residues Met-208, Met-222, Trp-165, and Trp-244. Furthermore,
residues Met-208, Met-222, Met-225, and Trp-244 are within a region
exhibiting high homology to the ligand binding cavity of
phosphatidylinositol transfer protein. Overall the data implicate
Trp-165, Met-208, Met-222, Met-225, and Trp-244 as components of the
CRALBP ligand binding cavity.
