Abstract
Eukaryotic MPN domain proteins are components of the complexes proteasome lid, COP9-signalosome (CSN), and translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3). The proteasome lid Rpn11 and COP9-signalosome Csn5 subunits, which contain the conserved JAMM motif involved in zinc ion coordination, show catalytic isopeptidase activity. Homology modeling indicates that the MPN domain of Mov34 cannot coordinate a zinc ion in the same manner as catalytically active MPN domains. In this work, we show that the MPN domain of Mov34 is highly resistant to proteolysis and the major product comprises residues 9–186, which includes the conserved MPN domain. Two clones containing the MPN domain region (MPN1–177 and MPN1–186) including the eight N-terminal residues show a less pronounced band in the 220nm region of the CD, indicating lower α-helical content relative to the clones lacking these residues (MPN9–177 and MPN9–186). However, clones lacking residues 1–8 show lower expression levels and thermal stability, indicating that residues 1–8 are required for proper folding and stability of this particular MPN domain.
