Abstract
A 42 amino acid synthetic peptide corresponding to a newly defined cysteine/histidine-rich protein motif called B-box, from the Xenopus protein XNF7 has been characterised. The metal-binding stoichiometry and dissociation constant for zinc were determined by competition with the chromophoric chelator Br2BAPTA, demonstrating that one zinc atom binds per molecule of peptide despite the presence of seven putative metal ligands, and represents the first application of this method to measuring zinc stoichiometry of proteins and/or peptides. Cobalt binding studies indicate that the motif binds zinc more tightly than cobalt, that cysteines are used as ligands and that the cation is co-ordinated tetrahedrally. Circular dichroism and NMR studies both indicate that the B-box peptide is structured only in the presence of zinc, copper and to a lesser extent cobalt.
