Recombinant erabutoxin a (Ea(r)) has been crystallized by vapour diffusion in hanging drops. The crystals belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell dimensions a = 55.8 A, b = 53.4 A, c = 40.8 A. Diffraction data have been recorded on a FAST detector up to 2.0 A. The atomic crystal structure of Ea(r) has been determined by initial refinement of the structure of the isotoxin erabutoxin b (Eb) the crystals of which were grown under identical conditions. The R-factor was 23% at 2.0 A resolution. The secondary and tertiary structures of Ea(r) are shown to be identical with that of wild-type Eb, within the experimental error.

D011487 Protein Conformation The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain).

D004870 Erabutoxins Toxins isolated from the venom of Laticauda semifasciata, a sea snake (Hydrophid); immunogenic, basic polypeptides of 62 amino acids, folded by four disulfide bonds, block neuromuscular end-plates irreversibly, thus causing paralysis and severe muscle damage; they are similar to Elapid neurotoxins.
D017433 Protein Structure, Secondary The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to ALPHA-HELICES; BETA-STRANDS (which align to form BETA-SHEETS), or other types of coils. This is the first folding level of protein conformation.

D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.
