This protein is the first sHSP characterized by X-ray crystallography, thereby contributing significantly to our understanding of sHSPs. However, despite numerous studies assessing its functions and structures, the precise arrangement of the N-terminal domains (NTDs) within this sHSP cage remains elusive. Here we present the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of MjsHSP16.5 at 2.49-Å resolution. The subunits of MjsHSP16.5 in the cryo-EM structure exhibit lesser compaction compared to their counterparts in the crystal structure. This structural feature holds particular significance in relation to the biophysical properties of MjsHSP16.5, suggesting a close resemblance to this sHSP native state. Additionally, our cryo-EM structure unveils the density of residues 24-33 within the NTD of MjsHSP16.5, a feature that typically remains invisible in the majority of its crystal structures. Notably, these residues show a propensity to adopt a β-strand conformation and engage in antiparallel interactions with strand β1, both intra- and inter-subunit modes. These structural insights are corroborated by structural predictions, disulfide bond cross-linking studies of Cys-substitution mutants, and protein disaggregation assays. A comprehensive understanding of the structural features of MjsHSP16.5 expectedly holds the potential to inspire a wide range of interdisciplinary applications, owing to the renowned versatility of this sHSP as a nanoscale protein platform. |
