Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The structure of recombinant thaumatin II was determined at the resolution of 0.99Å. The flexible conformations in two critical residues were important for interaction with sweet taste receptors. We introduced a grease-matrix carrier for protein microcrystals and obtained the structure of thaumatin under ambient conditions by Serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography. We successfully obtained a protein with enhanced sweetness by removing negative charges on the interacting side of thaumatin. The complex model between sweet receptor and thaumatin confirmed that each of the positively charged residues critical for sweetness is close to a receptor residue of opposite charge to yield optimal electrostatic interaction. We prepared the HEK cells stably expressing bitter receptors and ascertained the effect of the masking of bitterness by thaumatin.
