Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have determined the X-ray crystal structure of intact hemocyanin from Japanese flying squid at 3.0 angstrom resolution. The structure urevealed the architecture of hemocyanin composed of a cylindrical wall region and five collar regions, in which the dimers of functional units (FUs) hierarchically associated to form the entire decamer. Furthermore, the roles of carbohydrates in assembly, and conserved sulfur-containing residues in copper incorporation, were revealed.
