The previously published three-dimensional structure ofporcinepancreatic prophospholipase A2at 3resolution was found to be incompatible with the structures ofbovinephospholipase A2andbovineprophospholipase A2. This was unexpected because of the very homologous amino acid sequences of these enzymes. Therefore, the crystal structure of the porcine enzyme was redetermined using molecular replacement methods with bovine phospholipase as the parent model. The structure was crystallographically refined at 2·6resolution by fast Fourier transform and restrained least-squares procedures to anR-factor of 0·241.The crystals appeared to contain phospholipase A2and not prophospholipase A2. Apparently the protein is slowly converted under the crystallization conditions employed. Our investigation shows that, in contrast to the previous report, the three-dimensional structure of porcine phospholipase A2is very similar to that of bovine phospholipase A2, including the active site. Smaller differences were observed in some residues involved in the binding of aggregated substrates. However, an appreciable conformational difference is in the loop 59 to 70, where a single substitution at position 63 (bovine Val→porcine Phe) causes a complete rearrangement of the peptide chain.In addition to the calcium ion in the active site, a second calcium ion is present in the crystals; this is located on a crystallographic 2-fold axis and stabilizes the interaction between two neighbouring molecules.
